The mission for non-Catholics, which

during' the pnst week, closed last night
with u lecture by Rev. Father Valen

forgiving or retaining sins to Ills
apostles. All Hiblo Christians will ad

No returns of unsold copies

10-23, wo read: "As tho father hath
sent me, I also s-end you. Receive yo
the- Holy Ghost " whose sins ye
shall forgive, they are forgiven; whose
sins ye shall retain, they are retained."
' There is no loom for doubt that
Christ gave this power to .his apostles,
haid Father Valentine, and it is unrea
sonable to doubt that He Intended this
power to pnss awny with the passing
or the apostles. Christ's church was to
last for all time; therefore it is against
reason to say that the power was not
to descend to their successors, tho min
isters of His church.
But, Father Valentine went on to
say, it is poinetd out by thjcr critic tnac
not a word is said about confessing
one's sins, as a preliminary to obtain
ing forgiveness. Why could not one go
to tho priest and say: "Forgive me my
sins?" Tho answer, said he, is found
in an analysis of the words of Christ.
Twofold Power.
He gives to His apostles a twofold
power: To forgive sins, ana xo retain
sins. He made them judges. A judge
can not pass upon a case until it is
laid before him. Ho can not use this
awful, this divine power arbitrarily.
How can he exercise this power justly
in any case unless that case Is laid
before him?
Thero are two ways of a case being
adjudged. One Is n trial by jury; tho
other where the party Is a belt-accuser.
A trial by jury is quite undesirable and
out of tho question, it will bo generally
admitted. Tho plea of guilty Is the only
alternative. Tho penitent must go to
tho judge, lay his case bare and accept
tho judgment. If a priest is to loso
sins or retain sins, it Is not sufficient
that ho knows that the penitent has
sinned. He must know what tho sins
arn.
Those who charge that the confes
sional Is an invention of the priests,
said the speaker, must show tho au
thority on which they base their asser
tion. Such an extraordinary act could
not well have escaped historic recoid.
Whoro Is this momentous Invention xe
corded? am to tho nllpsration that tho confes
sional Is an instrument of tho priests,
used to get men, and especially women,
in their power, Father Valentino gave
Indignant refutation. It was only a foul
mind nnd a bad heart that would con
ceive nnd contain such nn idea, and a
worse than blackguard who would give
utterance, to it, he said. If anyone
could for u moment harbor such an
idea, ho would refer such a ono to those
who mndo a practice of going to con
fession. Commencing Wednesday, Dec, 17

Ho closed ills lecture by picturing
how' great must bo the consolation of
tho confessional when It Is so eagerly
sought by millions, day after day, nt
tho cost of scir-confcsslon and humili
ation. It surely, said ho, Is something
to hear tho words of a successor of the
apostles: "Depart in peace; your sins
are forgiven."
At tho conclusion of tho lecture,
Bishop Hoban spoke a few words, say
ing, among other things, that he hoped
at least that Father Valentine's mis
sion had swept awny some prejudices,
misinterpretations and misunderstand
ings. The world was full of absurd
conceptions, and tho Catholic church Is

"""""""
A case of smanlpox has been dis
covered In tho borough of Archbald and
thero Is Rravo danger, according- to Jjr.
Houscr, of a serious outbreak of the
disease in that place.
Tito case was discovered on Friday
last, by Dr. Van Dorcn, who was called
to attend a Slav, llvlnff in thnt part of
tho borough known as tho nidge. Ho
found tho man surterlngr from what ap
peared to bo smallpox and at his re
quest a quarantine was ordered estab
lished by the council and Dr. 'Houscr,
of Taylor, tho local smallpox physician,
was summoned to mako a diagnosis.
Dr. Houser visited Archbald on Sat
urday afternoon nnd discovered that
tho man was suffering from a most
malignant form of tho dlsenso and that
ho was In the eighth or ninth day of tho
eruption. There are upwards of a dozen
boarders in tho house in which ho lives
and this is situated In a most congested
district.
All of. these boarders and many of the-
neighbors camo into close contact with
tho diseased man before quarantine was
established and went to thoir work and
walked freely about tho town. Dr.
Houser Is inclined to the belief that tho
danger of a spread of the disease may
bo slightly lessened by tho fact that all
of the men living in tho house havo ar
rived in tho country within a few years
and have thus been recently vaccinated.

TITLE INSURANCE
Real estate has always been the most steady and
certain investment to be had, but it lias been shunned by
many because they were hampered in dealing' with it.
Many mortgagees, when they have attempted to collect
their loans, have found that their security was worthless
because of prior liens or defective title. A Title Com
pany, in issuing its policy to the owner or the mortgagee,
assumes all risks. If there have been any mistakes, the
loss does not fall on the owner or mortgagee.
