MISSION AT CATHEDRAL
It Will He Conducted by Three Jesuit
Missionaries.
PATHEK UICH0LZ IX CHARGE
Ills Assistants Ale l ather lluu, a Silvslun
Count, und .l ather Netiniueller. Who
l abored for I !oen Years as a
-Mlssiiinury in the I list Indies.
Three Jesuit fathers. Itev. L; Itu
cholz. Itev. M. Neilliilleller, and Itev. A.
Dellaza, from St. IgiuitliiH college,
Cleveland, O., opened a men's mission
at St. JVter'H cathedral yesterday.
This week It is for married men und
next week for single men.
Father Duelled, will be remembered
as the Kitine eloquent priest who con
ducted the mission for women, which
was belli ut the cathedral three months
ago. Father Dcllum Is a remarkable
mini. He was born in Silc.'tla, Germany,
of noble birth ami at present possesses
tile title of count. Ills parents were
very wealthy und spared 110 pubis on
bis education; so that he, being a mo.'it
studious and apt pupil, acquired a
mugnllleeiit degree of learning.
He cared nothing for the pleasures
and honors of a secular pursuit anil pre
ferred to become a laborer la the Mas
ter's vineyard. He Is not an old man,
apparently not more than fill years. He
has been only six months In this coun
try, coming here from Ktigland, where
he had been for some time. Prior to
his reaching Knglnnd he remained in
bis own country. He Is very averse to
telling anything uboiit himself. As a
pulpit orator he Is regarded umong the
foremost.
The other priests Jocularly call him
"The Count." He bus a beaming coun
tenance and always a smiling expres
sion. Father NeumticlU r Is also but a
short while in this country. He was a
missionary for eleven years among the
heathens of Bombay, ill the Hast In
dies. He Is renowned for his piety and
devotion to his calling and Is a mag
netic speaker. His hcurcrs tire strong
ly Impressed with the logic and earnest
ness of his preaching.
Opening the .Mission.
The 10. :: mass was celebrated by Hev.
M. J. Millane und at Its close Father
Bucholz came upon the altar and In an
introductory sermon opened the mis
sion. He spoke of the approaching sea
son of Lent as the acceptable time to
return to God. He then made the an
nouncements for the coming week of
the mission.
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon a large
congregation had ussembled and
Father NYumueller preached a beauti
ful sermon. He said that every step in
a man's life is a step toward the end.
Man's life Is like the vapors mentioned
in the Scriptures; they are here for a
moment and then vanish.
A man's body may full to pieces; this
world may dissolve, but the soul Is im
mortal and will never die. Our souls
are like our -Maker, imperishable; the
body Is not the soul's resting place.
Time Is short. This Is a perishable
and a miserable life, and all must pass
out of It; therefore' how foolish and
blind are those Christians who love the
sinful pleasures of this life to the detri
ment of their souls; those who prefer
the honors of tills world to the honors
ut the kingdom of heaven. Men are
but pilgrims on this life, us Saint
Augustine says, merely visitors. All
this world will pass away und then,
eternity. Here Father Netiniueller
gave u description of bow utterly Im
possible It Is for a man to grasp the
Image of eternity.
What Our Hestiny Is.
The destiny of man on this sphere Is
to serve God, hereafter to adore Him
und enjoy his presence forever. Our
Heavenly . Father created us for an
eternity of happiness; In heaven man
will be lii company so choice that noth
ing on this earth can compare with it.
The speaker related the Incident be
tween Sir Thomas More and his daugh
ter. Margaret. When Kngland's mon
arch, King Henry VIII, was ex-communicated
from the church, Sir Thomas
was thrown Into prison and sentenced
to death because be refused to acknowl
edge ullegianco to the king, remaining
true to the sovereign pontiff at Home.
Margaret went to her father in prison
and begged of him to acknowledge the
king. Sir Thomas asked her bow long
would be enjoy the favors of the king,
"o, father, you will live twenty long
yearsl" said the daughter. "My child,
my child," replied Sir Thomas, "what
are twenty years compared with eter
nity?" Father N'eumucller referred to th'!
man who will reason and conclude that
there Is no everlasting punishment.
The speaker said that the man who re
fuses to strive for the bupplness of
heaven during the few short yeurs of
this life, deserves hell. The litany of
the Blessed Virgin was recited after
the sermon.
The I vcnlng Sermon.
Father De lluza preached In the
evening and discoursed on the neces
sity of religion, or rather he unveiled
the true picture of what Irrellgloti Is.
So many Catholics believe that they
are doing enough for God If they nl
slnln from committing serious crimes,
nnd these are the worst kind of sinners;
they aro like the Phurlsees of old. It Is
not enough for God, not to offend Him
serloutily; whosoever shall enter the
kingdom of heaven not only must lead
a sinless life, but he must lead a pious
and holy life. The sinner cnunot enter
the kingdom of benveii, nnd although
the nlnner muy be forgiven and die re
pentant, for there Is 110 end to the
mercy of God, still penance must be
done for sin, If not In this world. It
must be done In purgatory.
Fntber De Hnza has the gift of put
ting bis thoughts In grand, yet simple
language, clothing them with magnetic:
feelings, and arousing Uie congregation
to high moral motives, lie preaches
more the love of God than Ills Justice
Instend of exciting In bis bearers the
fear of everlasting punishment, be en
kindles In their hearts a love for the
God who came down from His high
throne of glory In heaven and died upon
the disgraceful wood of the cross to
gavo sinful mnn.
Ppoti the mission which these noble
fathers nre entering In this city, the
prayers will arise from every Christian
lip thut they may accomplish untold
good In the reclamation of the sinner,
Kvery morning during the mission
there will bo a mass and short sermon
at 5 o'clock; at 8 o'clock a mass and ser
mon for nil the congregation; and each
evening a sermon and benediction at
7.30.
THE GREAT MISSIONARY.
Kev. Mr, Watklns Dlseourses on the Life
of Dr. (iordun.
The North Mnln Avenue Baptist
church was well filled Inst night when
Rev. W. (1. Watklns preached an elo
quent sermon In memory of Dr. Aden
Irani Judsou Gordon, who died hi Bos
ton the early pant of this month. Tho
reverend gentleman took his text from
II Samuel, 111, 3S, where David on
hearing of the death of Abner, said.
Know ye not that there Is a prince
and a great man fallen this day in
Israel."
Abner was one of the grentest war
riors of the age, and as he understood
the tactics of mllitury warfare so diil
Dr. Gordon understand the tactics of
spiritual warfare, und his triumphs ex
ceeded in number and grandeur those
or Israel's hero, und as the warring fac
tions of Israel Wept over the grave of
Abner so did all people weep over the
grave of our hero, Dr. Gordon. Al
though under slxty-yeurs of age, Dr.
Gordon In his life did more work than
is dono In a life of much longer dura
tion. lie was born In New Hampton, N. M.,
on April 111, lt:iti, and became converted
when lii years old and Immediately
began to prepare for hln life work by

three years' course In the Newton Theo
logical seminary, in Newton, Mass.
After leaving there ra 1M:! he wan
ordained us paslorj of the Jamaica
Plains Baptist church, near Boston,
where he remained for six years, h av
ing In 1S9 to become pastor of the
Clarendon Street Baptist church, in
Boston, which charge he kept until his
death. Ills parents were full of mis
sionary zeal, us was shown by their
naming their tddest son after the world
wide known Indian missionary, Jud
kiiii, whose success was then Just be
coming known. That be inherited nil
of his purcnts' missionary enthusiasm
Is shown by the Clarendon Street
church supporting a Chinese mission,
a mission for drunken men, a mission
for fallen women, a home for tnlsslon-
irlcs when 111 or exhausted, and a mis
sionary training school. He also trans
mitted his enthusiasm to his church
members, a number of whom have
gone into the missionary Ileitis. He was
for many years a member of the exec
utive committee of the Missionary
union, ami was chairman of It recent
ly. He also was associate editor of a
number of religious magazines, uud the
author of a number of religious books.
Although bis body was taken to New
Hampton, N. II., for Interment, ser
vices were held In Boston, In which a
huge number of prominent men made
addresses. After the services a lurge
number of Chinamen begged to be per
mitted to accompuny the remains to
their final resting place.

This would be a very slight acknowl

for them.
But It would help swell the fund.
There yet remain plenty of business
