MISSION FOR
NON-CATHOLICS
WAS OPENED IN THE CATHE
DRAL LAST NIGHT.
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..
Tho subject of to-night lecture will
Iio "Siuei dotal Celibacy; or Why
Pt tests do not Many."

CONSERVATORY RECITAL.
The conservatory last ovenlng added
another to Its list of successful recitals.
Tills was tho ilfty-sovcnth in tho com
plete series, and was given in Guernsey
Hall.
Dutlng the Hist part of the progtnmme
tho plnno soloists vvero children. Tho
Hist was JIaiKiitot Laulmch, seven years
old, who might well htivo Impersonated
a tiny princess as she played "The Little
Prince," and two other selections most
chaimlngly, Adelo Levy, I'lossle do
arucliv, Prancls McCormack, Maud
Morse and Grace Underwood all In their
second venrs' study followed in success
ful solo numbers.
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. Miss Genevieve
Cottle, like Miss Benjamin, appeared for
the llrst tlmo in theso recitals and gave
cWdenco of musical talent of a high or
der. Tho beautiful Walzor, op. 83, by
Merkel, was plaied with excellent effect
by Mlta Hazel Hodges.
Another new name on tho conservatory
programme was that of John P. Mauley,
of Plttston. 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. Though not granted,
the compliment to Mr. Manley was none
the less graceful.
Still another new namo wns that of
Miss Leila Parsons, who plavcd the
valso in 13 Hat by Durund. 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. The "Scene ftom tho
Orient," by Loew. was plujed by tho
Misses Brandt, Colviu. Cottle, Croas
tl tie, Haas, Lev an. Price and Stetlei.
The dlMutlt and dramatic Marche
Rukoc!, f lorn Beilloz's "Damnation of
Faust" was plaved bv. Mis. Price and
the Missis Ciune, Fiench, Gerlock,
Hicks, Hlishfeld, Voris nnd Wagenliurst.

elgneis. Ho had no sooner reached tho
spot. where the men wore congregated
than he was hit on the head with a
shovel In the hands of Brown and ren

to do with the trouble save to ciy out
and act as a peacemaker when he Baw
that Brown and Decker were surround

with whom they seemed to bo having
some trouble. The case will be resumed
