The Church of the Sacred Heart
was dedicated t.o divine worship, at
Laporte, on July Fourth with all the
ceremonies ol the Catholic church
incident to sueh occasions. This
beautiful church has been completed
for .some mouths, but the ceremony
of its dedication and the hiving of
its corner stone w. s happily deferred
until the delightful summer days
when all nature had put on its flue ;t
garments ami wlten the beautiful and
picturesque town of Laporte looked
its best. Father Enright, the be
loved pastor, wore that satisfied look
on this occasion which told, more
than words, that at last his fondest
hopes had been realized, —that a
Catholic church (which would do
credit to a city) had been completed
by his untiring zeal nnd energy and
was about to be consecrated to God.
The people of Laporte, regardless of
rel'gious belief, too, appreciated the
fact that the long dreamed fancy hail
at length changed to reality. The
church was beautifully decorated;
the stars and stripes were every
where visible floating in the breeze—
it being the Birth-dav of the Nation
—July Fourth. At nine o'clock the
church was thronged until standing
room was no longer available, and
the greater portion of the church
yard had, also, been filled. Imined*
lately the solemD ceremony of laying
the corner-stone was begun, Rt. Rev.
William O'ilara D D. Bishop of
Scranton officiating. He was assist
ed by the following prominent clergy
from abroad, who had come a long
distance to assist the Bishop in the
ceremonies and to pay their respects
to Father Enright:—
Rev. E A. Garvey, Williamsporl;
Rev. J.J. Lallcy, St. Josephs, Pa.;
Rev. M.J- Millane, St Peter's Cathe
drel, Scrautou; Rev. P. J. Murphy,

Father MeCann, Blooiusburg; Rev.
J. Sheehtin, Philadelphia; ltev. Titos,
J. Hanley, Overton; Rev. M. J.
Shields, Towanda; Rev. J. J San
da il, Athens.
Rev. Father Garvey to>k with him
an excellent/-hoir froin Williamsport
who rendered the choicest music
durirg tlie celebration of the sob in ■
high mass. The choir was 'II that
could be desired and received uv ji\
compliments from lL:>.--e present.
After tiie ceremony of l^y !, :g the
Corner-stone, Bishop O Mr.ia who
has grown old in ihe service of tiie
church, addressed the congregation
briefly Although s-.nnawliat- -if d
the venerable Bishop bote up weil
under t'ie long ceremonies. He re
minded the people that the had
assembled ii» tiie house of G. d. not
to participa e in worldly matters,
but that they were come into the
presence ot God, first to listen to
his holv words—that Christ wiien
he appointed the Apostles told them
•Go and tench ail nations to tli end
if the world, baptizing them in tlt
name of the Father, Son and Holy
Ghost, and behold I shall be wi'.h
you to the end of time " That they
had, also, come to assist a' the holy
sacrifice of the muss, which was
nothing more or le** than a leiiewal
of the sacrifice of ( nlvary, That the
same sacrifice would be renewed on
this altar. Christ had said to his
Apostles, ••This is My body and
this is My blood; do this in commem
oration of me "
The bishop having concluded his
remarks, the orchestra rendered
some choice selections. The priests
in the meantime were vesting for
the solemn hii>h mass which was
celebrated by Kev. D. H. Green of
Scranton, assisted by Rev. W. A.
Connolly of Troy, as Deacon, and
Rev. Hugh Gherit.v of Ralston as
Sub-deacon; Rev. J. J. Feoley of
Scranton, master of ceremonies; Rev.
J. Sheehan. Thurifer; Jfessrs. Finan
and .Afaliar Acolytes. The musical
rendition of La Hasche's mass was
superb. The Sanctus and fienedictus
were from jtfercadante. Immedia
tely after the Gospel Rev. J£. A.
Garvey of Williamsport delivered
the sermon of the day, which was a
master-piece of thought, diction and
delivery, and took as his text:
'■Solomon said: The Lord saitb
that he would dwell in a cloud.
Building, I have built a house for
thy dwelling to be Thy most firm
tlirone forever." Taken form Third
Book of Kings, eight chapter and
12 and 13 verses.
Father Garvey said :
After many centuries of wailing
and of hope deferred a magnificent
tpmple was at last erected at Jerus
alem for the worship ofthe true God.
The false gods of the heathen had
long been housed beneath stately
architecture, but till then the Lord
and Creator of all things' had his
dwelling place in tents. Probably
his servants in those early ages had
such a lofty conception of the power
and majesty of God, and such a
sense of their own unworthiness, that
they felt unequal to the task of erect
ing a suitable temple for his worship
"Is it to l»e thought of says Solo
mon, "that God should dwell upon
the earth; for if the heavens nnd the
heavens of heavens cannot oontain
Thee, how much less this temple
which I have built. "Heaven is my
throne and the earth my foot-stool,
which bouse shall you build for Me,
saith the Lord," or what is the place
of my rest."
Nevertheless if the Lord hath
said that He would dwell in a cloud
