"Sabbath Observance" was the theme
upon which Rev. N. V. Stahl, pastor of
the Green Ridge Presbeytorfcin church,
preached yesterday morning. He treut
ed the subject practically, cundldly and
In h manner which won the attention
mid Interest of the large 'number of
persons In the auditory. "Call tlu
Sub bath a ddight." (Isilh Ivlll. 12. 13
and 14) w.is hln text. An excerpt of the
discourse Is ns follows:
Like a rude awakening from a beau
tiful di'oam of the nlirht set-niH the ex
perience of the race nine the days of
the Eden tragedy. In the long ago
time there Is one bright gleam; in tlie
coming time thori Is a long unending
radiance; between tho two It Is dark,
dark, oh, so dark. Fur n little while
we are holy and blessed In the full en
joyment of the communion of God. In
the time yet to come wo may bo holy
and hlrsHvd again In tlu full enjoyment
of God to nil eternity. Tills i time
of d'irkneies of conilict and doubt. Tru
ly, the Light has come, but men have
loved darktK'SM rather than light. The
Master says "If a mun walk In the
night, he Ftumbleth." and nil through
the long durknebs ni!n- have been stum
bling a ml falling: some, oh, how ninny,
to rise no more. The path of humanity
has been a path beset by dangers of all
kinds on every hand, and even the
deeH-r the darkness, the greater the
d.iiigt r hath been. While the llrst pair
walked in the light of God's truth they
walked In safety. In an evil day the
ru thirds hind of the temptor put out
this light and substituted the false dim
tapor light of human reason, and In
that flickering, deceiving light, they
stumbled to a fall so sad, so dreadful,
that sixty centuries have failed to tell
the story of Its woes.
Spoko to Tlioin of One l.laht.
It Is my purpose today, after having
called your aKntlm to that wonderful
circle of lights which God has hung
round the horizon to Illumine earth's,
night of sin and woe. to speak to you
of one light which has a special, a pe
culiar, a wonderful function. A func
tion which c tnnot bo too greatly mag
nified ami which the present generation
Is all too prone to neglect. The especial
nlllep of this light Is to direct our
thought and att"iilin to all the other
lights. The Lord ordained that time
should be divided into periods of sewn
days, and one of ihvt days He set
apart as holy time, sacred to Himself,
In which day man mu?t cease from all
his ordinary labors and turn aside from
hte accustomed paths and direct his
mind from his usual thoughts and occu
py himself with the things pertaining
to God. to his own soul, and to his
eternal dertiny. Hut this was not all.
In providing for man's higher nature
Jid was aNo providing for all parts of
his being. The Hnbbath was designed
not only to be a day for occupying our
selves with the interests of the soul; it
was Intended aim to be a great day of
rest, of recuperation, of upbuilding for
all the faculties and pover3 of man's
nature.
Now, my friends. th question of tha
value of the Sabbath day and the ques
tion of our obligation to observe it ns
unto the Lord are matters to be studied
net by reference to our own views, but
by reference to God's views chiefly ns
expressed in the bible. I do not say
no voice on tha subject comes to us
from nature, but while I behove that
God has In a manner written His law
in man's nature, which Is shown by
experience to need the Sabbath, yet
God's views are to be obtained chlelly
from HI revelation, which we call the
Holy Scriptures. The tioly day comes
into prominence in the history of Israel,
In Jehovah's commands and In he
church of God. Now If It be In anywise
thought or said by any that the Sab
bath was merely a Jewish institution;
besides otVr arguments, it Is sufTlclent
to remember that our Lord who came
to Inaugurate the Gospel dispensation
for the world, erected the apostolic
college-, established the Christian
church In Its new llfo, issued his perma
nent communion to preach the Gos
pel to all nations and promised His
Spirit to guide into all truth. And
these apostles and this church under
the guidance of the Spirit changed the
Sabbath from the seventh to the first
day of the week to commemorate the
great fact of the Resurrection and
taught the permanent obligation of. the
Lord's day to the world.
How toOhsorve tho liny.
How Is the Sabbth to he observed?
In the first place It is to be s-t apart
as God's day. Six days are In a sense
our own time, this one day Is God's.
Now what does God require us to do
with His day? We must do something
with it, we can't Just It alone and say
this Is God's day. We can't pass over
the clay to Monday. The day comes
every revolution of the earth on its
axis and it stays twenty-four hours.
We must live th-se twenty-four hours,
we must spend them eating or sleeping
or visiting, or doing business, or
amusing ourselves, or worshiping God
and training our children In his fear, or
In some way we must pass the time.
Now Owl says we must turn away our
foot from doing our own pleasure on
Hie day and set It apart for His wor
ship and service.
Now the views of this church upon
the subject before us are carefully
drawn from the word of God, an fol
lows: "The Sabbath or Lord's day Is
to be sanctified by an holy resting all
that day, not only from such works as
are at all times sinful, but even from
such worldly employments and recrea
tions as are on ottwr dnys lawful, mak
ing It our delight to spend the whole
time (except so much of it as Is to be
taken up In works of necessity nnd
mercy) In tho public operate exercl'ies
of God's worship. And to that end we
are to prepare our hearts, and with
such foresight, diligence and modera
tion to, dispose and seasonably dispatch
our worldly business that we may be
the more free of It for the duties of that
day." And let me say, brethren, that
without taking up the time of the con
gregation In eo doing, I will furnish
to any of you who may request It, the
Scriptural authority for this summary
of duty In regard to tli observance
of the Lord's day. Now this Is to my
mind an excellent presentation of an
Idpal observance of the Sabbath. And
If it be an Ideal observance then It must
be your standard.
Hut the difficult subject remains of
the application of th!a general rule to
the special ca3es of our real Sabbath
life. Whit are we really to do, and not
to do? Now, then, to be practical, the
proper observance of the Sabbath be
gins on Saturday; I, e., we are to make
such arrangements on Saturday as may
be necessary to enable ourselves, our
children, and our servants, and our
cattle to keep the Sabbath day. holy.
Then you must settle when your Sab
bath Is to begin and md. I believe
God claims twenty-four hours, and that
the Sabbath begins and ends when
every other day begins nnd ends at 12
o'clock midnight. I do not consider
any one at liberty to do anything at
2 o'clock Saturday night (speaking in
ordinary terms) which ho would not
do at 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon.
We Wuko in God's Time.
Now, then,, when we wake In the
morning, we wake up in God's time..
May we He later Sunday morning than
other mornings? Why, It Is plain to
my mind that If the labors of tho week
require hard work and early hours, a
little extra rest Sunday morning, which
docs not in any way or to any degrue
Interfere with preparations for God's
work and wui-Hhlp, may be the xery
best way of preparing ourselves for a
protltablo uao und enjoyment of His
day.
Now, then, what are we to do with
our waklm;' hours. Why we nre to
alwtnln from unnecessary work, do
deeds of mercy as God's providence
may cull us to them, and, chlelly, we
ure to worship Him. This worship will
consist of private family and public de
votions, reading such books and other
matter ns direct our thoughts, toward
God und His service, and Ills provi
dence. In such conversation us may In
its general tendency direct our
thoughts In the same lines, and In per
sonal meditation. If I may use the term,
upon such like lines of thought. As to
public worship, 1 think It is very clear
that Cliilstlan; ought ns a rule to at
tend both services of the church, of
which they are members.
Now, what should the home life be
durln;r the Sabbath? This question has
been answered as to adults. Possibly
1 can, In a measure, answer It ns to chil
dren. It seems to me that before chil
dren reach the age of moral responsi
bility, suc h moderate and quiet recrea
tions a .4 mituiv first tenches them ought
not to In forbidden, but that some dlf
fercnctH between the recreations of
wiek days and those of the Lord's day
ought fo bef arly Instituted, nnd as they
advance in years and moral sense and
understanding th rules for adult ob
servance of th" day ought to be grad
ually upplied. Hut the very best way In
which children can be managed Is by
itip'.ercptlng th"in through reading and
conversation in matters pertaining to
God. ills loving care over them nnd the
return which they can make for His
goodness. In my own Judgment chil
dren from un early rise ought to be
take to one service and tho whole fam
ily should sit together nml together
worship their God and hear and study
His holy work.
Work to lo Any Work.
It Is wrong In Itself nnd In relation
to our servants to make special work
for the Sabbath either In having elab
orate and troublesome time taking re
pasts or In entertaining guests upon
that day, or in imposing any unneces
sary work. It is wrong to work our
horses or other animals on this day of
rest either for our business or our
pleasure. Spurjroon, living out of Lon
don and requiring his horses to convey
him to his Sabbath work, never al
lowed them to be driven on Saturday,
making this their day of rest.
You will see how running street cars,
except If neeessaryatcertaln hours; Sun
day trains, save for perishable goods on
long routes, the publishing, selling and
reading or encouraging by buying and
advertising of Sunday newspapers, thj
sale of liquors or other unneeded arti
cles, the arrangements for pleasure
parties and all such like things are
plainly and entirely wrong, a trans
gression of God's law and a violation of
the rights of man, and those who parti
cipate In them or In anywise encour
age them nre breaking the Sab
bath day nml bringing evil on their
own souls and the community and
country In which they live. The power
of law nr.d th still more tremendous
power of public srntlment ought to
abolish these things and maintain th
blessings of the Christian Sabbath. If
you are In any doubt on any point, you
mupt give God Hie benefit of the doubt,
and keep holy Ills day.
Oh for a spirit toward G'kI and His
ordinance s; oh, for a reverence and
love for His holy dny. Let us guard
the Sabbath In which we especially
study of God in a sense the light of
lights, tho safeguard of the soul, the
family anJ the nation; for well has it
been paid the Sabbath is to nations as
tho Nile Is to F.gypt. Oh. study, I pray
you, the history of the pnt. Whit
happens to the Foul or the nation which
turns away from the Sabbath. Let one
example suffice. Look nt France, proud
France. In the chaos of her national and
individual life when she had cast from
her the Christian SalilMth. Ah, believe
me, today, the holy Sabbath is to this
nation what the dykes nre to far off
Holland, keeping back the floods of sin
and ruin. God preserve our bulwark
strong, God build It day by day, God
help us to do our part. Oh, brethren,
I beseech you ns you love your coun
try, your family, your own soul, re
member the Sabbath day to keept.lt
holy.
HIS FIRST MASS.
Cclchratcd hy the Hcv. John l.onclirnn of
This City.
Rev. John Loughran, of this city, re
cently ordained at Haltlmore by Cardi
nal Gibbons, celebrated his first ia.s
at the cathedral yesterday. Father
Loughran Is a cousin of Rev. John
Loughran, of St. Joseph's church. Ml
nooka, and In college nml In the semin
ary he was noted for his brilliant In
tellectual powers. He will take a short
rest from active duty and In a few
weeks will be assigned to some parish
as assistant priest by Rt. Rev. Wshop
O'Hara.
The church was crowded, there being
an unusual desire to be present at the
sacrifice which noted an Indelible epoch
Ira the young priest's life.
His parents occupied the front seat
and at the communion they received
the Holy Eucharist from his hands. Ia
the sanctuary were these clergymen:
Rev. John Loughran, of Mlnooka; Itev.
W. P. O'Donnell, of the North End;
ar.i Rev. Kenneth Campbell, Rev. J. A.
McIIugh, Rev. J. J. 11. Feeley, Rev. P.
V. Qulnnan and Rev. Thomas Carmody,
of the cathedral.
Father Loughran was assisted by
Rev. N. J. McManus, of Holy Rosary
church. North End; his classmates, Rev.
. A. McCarthy, deacon; Rev. P. E.
Lavello, Bub-deacon, and Rev. George
Dickson, of Avoca, master of ceremonies,-
were the other ofllcers of the
mass.
Rev. J. A. Momtt, of St. John's
church, South Side, preached tho ser
mon and trtok his text from the psalm,
"Dixit Domlnus," the words being, "The
Lord hath sworn nnd will not repent;
thou art a priest forever, according to
the order of Melchisedec."
He dwelt upon the dignity of the
priesthood, how pure the 'man must be
who enters upon thnt state; for In offer
ing up the sacrifice of the mnsj he
cosencrates the bread and wlnn Into
the divine body and blood of the Son of
God. Then the enre of souls are In
trusted to him, and It Is terrible to con
template that God will require him to
render an account on the last day for
every Immortal soul given in his
charge.
A priest, he said, must go wherever
duty calls him, into rooms where all
manner of diseases lurk. The speaker
quoted the example of the Illustrious
Father Damlon, who went among the
lepers of Molokai, In the Sandwich
Islands. In conclusion the speaker be
sought the prayers of the congregation
for Father Loughran.

SERMON AT CATHEDRAL.
Delivered hy Kov. Father O'Sulllvan Last
Night.
Rev. Father O'Sulllvan, a youiifr
Jesuit, at present stationed In New
Yolk, on Sixteenth streot, In the ofHco
of The Messenger, the Journal of the
League of the Sacred Heart of Amer
ica, as a membiT of the editorial staff,
preached to an iininen.se number of
parlshlontis at St. lVtcr's cathedral
last evening. He was here four years
u go during a mission, and his logical
eloquence Is still remembered.'' lieneuth
his modest manner lies a wealth of
sclentlll,! knowledge ami the Catholic
tjua'iteily, In every number, contains
treatises from his pen on science that
nre copied widely In the newspaper
of the hind.
He addressed his sermon specially to
the promoters of the League of the Sa
cred Heart, of Scranton, und spoke for
more tihan fo;ty inlnutes. The Inten
tion of the league this month prayed for
is Christian education. Here he cited
some Interesting figures. In nil the
world there are 22,000,0110 members of
the League of the Sacred Heart; in
Scranton there ure 6,000, captained by
400 promoters.
Tho prayers of this vast army go up
In unison from all quarters of the globe,
supplicating for some one special ob
ject; the June Intention Is that God
may pour forth Ills graces for the ex
tension of Christian education.
Tho speaker vividly compared the
members of the league with soldiers
fighting for their country, and sailors
In naval warfare for the same cause.
The general on the battlefield beckons
to the rank and file behind him and with
concerted action the moving column
goes forward, nnd all danger Is braved,
nil thoughts of loss of life or limb Is
consumed In the one mastering Inten
tion to win the battle, and lose the last
droit of blood, even, for the flag of the
nation.
Put the soldiers and the sailors that
fight thus are rewarded only with a
transitory crown, while the warriors
engaged In the combat under the ban
ner of the Saviour are aiming for tho
goal where the sun of Infinite happiness
never sots, the fleeting vanities, cares
and honors of this world are left be
hind, and the palm Is the crown of
tteni-al glory and the Ineffable pres
ence of Almighty God for ever and ever.
Father O'Sulllvan will leave for home
this morning.

MISS EDNA KENT'S POEM.

Tho class poem, "Launching," which
was read by Miss Edna Kent, at the
high school commencement exercises In
the rothlngham Friday night, was most
favorably commented upon by all who
heard It. Ilelow It Is given entire:
Schoolmates of youth, we must pause In
our flight.
We stand where lire's brooklet and river

Oarless behind, wllh ihelr voyages done,
Our shattered cunoes lloat about in tha

Vast is the stream that rolls wavering be

shore.
They only care weather the future's dark

Who boldly steer onward with well man.
uged sail.
Schoolmates of youth, we are luunchlng
today.
Stand firm as wo break from tho anchor
away.
Fairy-llite rill, flowing Into the past,
Tho bright glistening waters have hur
ried so foist.
As over Tlniu's cataract your current you
pour
We turn half relurtunt to view theo once
more.
O'er moss and through sunahlne your
cruise you have wound
Whllo on tho deep river dark shadows
u bound.
Tho rainbows of childhood now rests on
thy bed,
Hut tho cloud of uncertainty hovers
a head.
Rivulet clear. In thy echoing song.
With shudes of dead Joy thou dost memory
throng.
Waves of life's stream, flushed with
1 'rime's ruddy glow,
What Is your mission; why murmur ye so?
Tell, ere we launch on your tremulous
tide,
Why swell ye so grandly as onward ye
glide?
Will kind fate permit us all happy and
gay,
To skim o'er tho surging billows awny;
Or shall we float seaward with low-hanging
mast
Struggling and weary and torn by the
. blast?
Waves of life's river, with echoing roll
Answer and tell us, where Is the goal?
Rills from the brook, though from distant
springs led,
Long ye have flowed in the same mossy
lied,
Hut it cannot be thus with tho torrent's
wild sprays,
Oft branching. Us waters will turn di
vers ways.
Some 'channels will turn to lands distant
ami strange,
By storms all unruffled, unharmed by the
change;
Some will lead to regions not far from tho
shore,
Content with the scenes that surrounded
of yore.
Oh, rills, ere yo Join great Futurity's sea,
Can you foretell where our harbors will
be?
Here we must part on the fleet stream of
years
Alone to encounter life's hopes and its
fears.
Do not expect on Its ebb aud Its flow
As smoothly as on the culm brooklet to
row.
Strong we most bend to tho wintry blasts
And for tho weather hew out our masts.
The frailest of vessels on culm waves are
borne,
Hut tho well-manned ones only tho wild
winds may scorn.
Couragv nnd hope and undaunted will
Many a inolueiit with sunshine muy fill.
Hut grieve not, dear classmates, 'we'll meet
once more;
Kre long this voyage begun will be o'er.
When June's varied blossoms have faded
away
And dreary December has darkened each
day;
When life's glowing embers lie blackened
nnd dead
And all Its fond hopes forever have fled;
Then, ns far countries, which barriers di
vide. Swell with their wators the same ocean
tide;
So life's flowing river approaching the
end.
At length In Eternity's waters will blend.
Source of the brooklet, tho river, the sea,
Kver we'il center our course unto Thee.
Though trackless nnd dreary earth's wa
ters may svem.
Thy beacon will brighten all shoals with
lis glenni.
Though threatening the tempests may
thunder and roll,
We trust to Thy mnrey to reach a safe
goal.
Turn our swift rudders away from the
strand
And guido us unharmed by Thy loving
hand.
Then harbored at rest In Thy love ever
more, iAnchor our vessels on Heaven's fair
shore.
