It Will Continue Throughout tho Week and Is Being Conducted by Rev. Father Valentine, of tho Pas slonlst Order, Who Will Explain the Fundamental Doctrines of the Catholic Church and AiiBwer All Questions Says Ho Seeks to En lighten the Public. ilev. Father Valentine, a member of the 1'asslonlit older, began last night, In St. Putor'H ctithcdr.il, a sciles of lee tuiti mliliosvort to non-CathollcM and deslfjntd to ghe them nn Intellluent Idea of come of the fundamental doc tilnet of tho Itoinun Cntholle church. The chtuch was three-uu.utctfl full last nlahl and about half or those ptes ent weie not of tho Catholic faith. These came, In a number of Instances, with Cathollo Mends, though theie wore many who came alone. Father Valentine opened tho service wltlf the recitation of a player for divine guid ance, In which lie asked all present to join in their heat tn. He explained that his pilniary object In glvlntf the lectuiu Is not to pinse lytlze, but rathei to gle an oppor tunity for UoiH'Hl men and women to leain the tiuth about the Catholic ehutch from nn ucci edited source, and to cradk.ite ftom the minds of well intentioned Protestants some of the falo notions and absurd ideas which they have been led to believe by alleged "ex-pilests" and "escaped nuns." Nature of His Talks. lie stated that he was absolutely con vinced of the truth of cver thing that the Catholic church teaches, and that during the lecture he would feel obliged lo condemn Ptotestantlsm on principle. Ho would not condemn Piotestants, however, leallztng that every person's religious beliefs are hugely a mattei of birth and would .speak to them in u spirit of love and Chiistlan chailty. He hits made the conduction of mis sions to non-Catholic. i his life-work, he bald, because he believes It to be his duty to spread what he believes to bo the truth to all the woild. He mged eoiyone attending the lectuies to wilte out any question reg.uding the chuich that they may choose and diop the same In the hox provided at the door. No one need lime any feai of offending him by any question, he said, and the mote it person believed that a question would give offense, the moio he wanted that poison to wiltu that question out. A certain pot tlon of the time each night will be devoted to an sweting these inquiiies, he said. After the singing of "Neaier, Jly Cod, to Thee," by all present, Father Valen tine lead the thlitecnth psalm and then delheied the sermon of the night, taking tor his theme, "You Cannot Be Happy Without Religion. Why?" It was I.tigely a diseouiso to be used as a. base for the tutute leLtuies, and no especial refetenee was made in it to any of the pat ticular teachings of the Catholic chuich. The speaker sought to show that life is not votth living unless there is a belief in a God and in a hereaftei. If there is nothing moie in life, he said, than can be found by the aid of reason alone, then the only reasonable and logical thing for oveiy human being to do would bo to commit suicide. He ligion and all that goes with it, lie de clared, ate the only things which make men really happy. Religion Is the Power. If theie was no moial law and no realization of God and a heteafter on the pait of the gieat masses of people In this country, he said, there would be teirlblo things done, because in his opinion the masses ate not fahly dealt with by the few, and the laboier in every valk of life is undeipald. Re ligion is the only power which holds things as they arc. The only things that make life worth living, he said, ate a belief in God, a faith In Him and a hope of dwelling eternally with Him born of that faith. The woild is bad enough, in spite of leiiglon. he said, but It would be aw ful beyond imagination without It. The Clnlstinn leiiglon, he said in conclu sion, is the only thing on eaith which buoys up the soul and lifts It up until it is able to obtain a foietaste of the joys of heaven. After the seimon theie was benedic tion of the Most Blessed Saciament and Fathei Valentine explained bilefly to those picscnt just what this ceiemony means to Catholics. Tho Catholic ehutch teaches, ho said, that Jesus C'lnist is leally and actually picsuit In the Hush In tho saci anient of the altar and when the Catholics bow their heads when the saci anient is i.iised aloft it is to do honor to the Savior of mankind. He urged the non-Catholics pieseat to make a silent conditional prayer dining tho ceremony piaylng Chi 1st, if He was teally piesent, to help them to an undei standing of tho tiuth..

Miss Lenoio Stetler gave u tasteful ren dition of Holm's "Knfant Chcrl." The playing of Miss Francis Benjamin, ot Green Ridge, wns noticeable for delicacy and letlnement of touch In the "Schmot terlinge,' by Merklc.

This young man Is musical to his Hnger tips. Ills rendition of the lengthy sonatina In E Hat, by Dussek, was so musical, so professional in its style and so thoroughly enjoyable that the audlence-nnd the hall was full de manded nn encore.

Miss Par sons has tho qualifications for becoming a pianist abovo tho ordinal v. Her tone was limpid, her execution clear, her style easy anil graceful and her memory un failing. Miss Grace Gerlock was heard in the dlHlcult transcription, "Hark, Haik the Lark," by Schubert-Liszt. Miss Gerlock's placing has so often been fav orablv commented on It is unnecessary to sav more than that it was delightful. The ensemble numbers played at four pianos were three in number. The Son atina, op. 1U, bv Dlabelll, was plajed by the Misses Adamson, Beighauser, de Grttchy, Harris, Parsons, Stetlei, Stiles and Mr. Manley.
