SERVICE IN 8T. PAUL'S.

THe proceodings this morning began with svlemn High Massin St. Paul’sCharch, which was beautiiully decorated for the occasion. Streamers of red, white and blue were sus- pended from the apex of the roof to the pillars, winding round them to the base, reiicved at intervals by beautiful banners bearing appropriate mottces and emblems. His Lordship Bishop Melntyre occupied the sect on the Throne, assisted by Rev. James Aneas McDonald and Charles Me- Donald. tev. Father Doyle celebrated Mass, Rev. D. McDonald acted as Deacon, Rey. ). S. McDonald as Sub-Deacon; Rev. A. E. Burke, Mister of Ceremonies; and Rev. J. McDonald, Curisaire. After the First Communica, Rev. D. J. G. McDon- ald entered the pulpit and preached a ser- mou appropriate to the occasion. The church choir, under the leadership of Mr. Meinnis, and assisted by Rev. F. X. Gal- laut, Hope River; Messrs.

THE SUMMERSIDE ADDRESS,

His Honor Judge Ke'ly read the address of Father Doyle's parishioners, at Summer- side, as follows :

Rev. Deak Faruer,—The noiseless flight of time brings us face to face this morning with «a notable event in your life and ministry. In the historte city of Quebec, twenty-five yearsago, you were ordained to the Christian Priesthood ; and from that year down to the day we celebrate you have exercised, te tie Diocese of Charlottetown, the functions of your sacred ottice,—how zealously and with what ability those in whose midst, and for whose especial welfare you have labored, can bear ample and willing testimony.

We are told—and few can dispute it—that sride in religion is man's highest praise. In- aad by that sentiment, as well -as by a sense of duty, on this, the Silver Jubilee of your ordization, your parishjouers in Seven Mile Bay,,Kinkora and Summerside desire, through me, to unite with our venerated Rishop and Reverend Brethren of the Clergy in commemorating and doing honor to this

joyous festival. With sentiments, therefore, of profound gratitude te Almighty God that you have been spared tothe Church and to us, and that we have been privileged to he present on this auspicious occasion, we tender you the full and fervent expression of our eongratulations.

Under any circumstances, a periol of 25 years constitutes a large portion of man’s alloted span, and, it may be remarked, seldom fails to leave its impress on the fairest brow, or to remove from church congregations, as well as from domestic circles, companions and loved ones who can never be restored. But a quarter of a century of sacerdotal life may well be regarded as an epoch in the career of a Catholic pastor. That it is so recognized in your ease, by those who know you best, is certainly made apparent by the presence with- in this temple of such a large concourse of devout and respectful spectators, many of them attending from remote parts of the Pro- vince, and not a few professing a different re- ligious b-lief from ourselves.

In the impressive ceremonies of to-dav you are the central figure. The disgiaguished dignitaries grouped around you in the sanctu- ary, religious from convents—** the worki for- gettiog, by the world forgot ”—asnd the vast assemblage of the laity—all have come, pre- lates, priests, nuns and people, before the Altar of the living God, to offer up thanks for the blessings of health and length of years vonchsafed to you in your holy calling, to im- plore a coutiuuance of these favors, to mani- fest their gratitude for your efforts on their behalf, and to publicly proclaim their respect and appreciation for your person aad charac ter.

Many of us remember when you first came to these missions, charged with the adminis- tration of their spiritual and temporal] inter. ests. At that time we possessed scarcely any of the parocoial institutions usually existing iu older settlements, and but few of the acces series or external aids to the practice and propagation of our holy faith. In this respect our condition offered little attraction, save to the man ready to obey the cali of duty, and inspired by the nobler motives of zeal for the welfare of his follows. Skillful hands and a brave heart were, therefore, required fur the successful performance of the pastoral duties then assigned to you; and subsequent events assuredly justified the confidence of your Ecclesiastical Superior in committing this work to your immediate direction. In you, your parishoners found a man with ‘the heart to conceive, the understanding to direct, and the hands to execute” the svlemn and responsible obligations of his position. Hence the difficulties which at first confronted you, graduaily but surely, and in good time, dis- appeared, so that now we can refer with a sense of just satisfaction tu the prosperous condition, religiously, and indeed, socially, at which, through your ministrations and guid- ance, we have arrived

It were needless to particularize here. The results of your pastorate are visible to us all, aud demonstrate more eloquently than any words of ours, the unquestioned measure of success that has rewarded your arduous labors in behalf of your flock. When those who succeed us shall be, as we now are, struggling through life’s titful fever, and long after the present generation shall have passed away, your name will remain associated with the progress of religion and eduestion in this part of the Provinoe,

But who shall recount the spiritua] conso- lations imparted by your ministry from the Altar, the Pulpit, the Confessional? Only in the Book of Life are these fully inscribed, and the reward which they merit awaits you in the kingdom of Him whose name and empire will endure forever. The wide world over man, a3 an accountable, moral being, has his true friend and benefactor in the Catholic priest. From the hour in which the in- tant is brought te the portals of the church to receive the waters of regeneration, to that supreme and final moment when life is about to escape from the stricken body, and the farewell recommendation is pronounced— “Depart Christian soul !’’—the priest is his earthly guardian angel, Literally, ‘fiom the cradle to the grave, his mission is to elevate and enlighten man, to teach him the way he should live, to point out the way he should die, and so prepare him to properly realize and fu'fil the dutis of his alloted atation. Not, indeed, for a day but for all time, and even beyond the bourne of time, do these sacred relations exist be- tween the pastor and his flock. With a fidelity that no influence can subvert, the devoted priest responds to the injunc- tions of his sublime commission, and like another seraph in Paradise Lost~— ‘faithful found amoug the faithless, faithful only ke.”” No wonder, therefore, that the emotions of the human heart, tempered by re- ligion, find apt expression in the magnificent seene before us, and no wonder, either, that this fete and its surroundings are all self-in- telligibie, and in an eminent degree consistent with true Christian sentiment.

Little more may here be said. Before I elose, however, memory would fain revive earlier associations and claim the privilege of a passing recognition. Some are present who recall a period in your career anterior to your ordination—a very mid-day in the morning of life, when fresh from a country fireside, and with parental benediction resting upon your head, you became enrolled as a student of St. Dunstan's College. Imbibing in that institu- tion thesound and solid principles ef an edu- cation which atterwards matured into ripe scholarship, you were enabled to attain and to hold with dignity a foremost rank among the first alumni of your Alma Mater,—thus vindi- cating the truth of the renowned statesman’s declaration, that ‘‘in the lexicon of youth, whom fate reserves for a bright manhood, there is no such word as Fam.” To various parts of the world many of your early class- mates have gone forth and filled eminent positions in Church and State; while others of them, less fortunate than you have been relegated to humbler walks in life. One of the latter, in order to express his feelings as the recollection of these cherished days is awakened, wou'd appropri- ate the beautiful words of [reland’s poet :—

** Long, long be my seul with such memories filled;

Like the vase in which roses have once been

distilled; You may break, you may shatter the vase, if if you will,

But the scegt Uf the roses will round te etilh.” _

DAILY EXAMINER, - - -

Pardon, Rev. Sir, this brief digression, We have assembled around you this morning, not to indulge in mere rem niscences, but to evince our appreciation of the noble work which, under God, you have performed in the interests of religion and society during the

| quarter of a century now completed. Coming, ‘therefore to the more substantial and not less agreeable part of my duty, permit me to re- quest your acceptance of a gift representing the material tokens of your parishioners’ per- soual esteem and affection. May ita contents ‘be an emblem of a fature golden jubilee in your priesthood, to celebrate which we rever- ently invoke Divine Providence to prolong your life. Ou behalf of your parishioners.

FATHER DOYLE'S REPLY, T'o the Parishioners of Seven Mile Bay, Kin- kora and Summerside :

My Dear Curtpren,—I thank you with all my heart for the beautiful and flattering ad- dress and princely gift with which you have just presented me.

I cannot ascribe to any merit of my own the grand demonstration you have prepared to honor an event great enough, indeed, because by it I was associated forever with the priest- hood of Christ, but which, on this happy an- niversary, | would willingly have allowed to piss by unmarked by any other commemora- tion than a humble Mass of Thanksgiving to Almighty God for the blessings snd graces vouchsafed during the twenty-tive vears I have ministered at this altar. You have, however, decided otherwise, and although de- serving in no way the praise and congratula- tion you have so generously bestowed, my heart is deeply touched at the expression of filial love, respect, reverence and veneration which your address so eloquently breathes.

Short as may appear taese years in retro spect, within their compass are counted many events of importance to our Diocesan Church and native Province. number of priests laboring in this part of the Lord’s vineyard was very small indeed, com- pared with that. of tu-day; the churches scat- tered at long intervals over the diocese, and nuprovided with many of the requisites for the decent vbservance of the ceremonies pre- scribed by the ritual. Under the enlightened and beneticent episcopate of our beloved and venerable Bishop, whose consecration pre- ceded my ordination by but a few years churches, convents and pvesbyteries have sprung up on every side, until to-day the gol-

the eye from every pvint of prowiaence the Island over, To these churches are attach od congregations of devout Catholics, obedient

inere hearers, of His Word wav called priests into His sanctuary to be the dispensers of the mysteries of God. The good pastors who, under their beloved Bishop, administer the now well-equipped missious of the diovese, have all made noble sacritices to bring about this happy result, and with the proofs of their great labors before me, why should I look for praise for the little 1 have been able to ac- complish? You have spoken with gratitude of my poor vifurts to promote your spiritual welfare. Allow me to say that I have been

buta feeble instrument in the hands of Pre- vidence, and that all the good effected among you is due alone to the merey and grace ot God and to your generous co-operation. With the Royal i’rophet, then, we will say: to us, O Lord, not to us, but to thy name give glory.” Ps. 113.

Be assured, my dear children, that my labor among you has been a labor of love. By your docility and your fervent and practical faith, you have made my burden light, and, in a great measure, facilitated my work in the sacred ministry. lcan cheerfully bear testi- mony that you have been at all times a source of great consolation to me, by your willing- ness to aid me in every good work undertaken for the promotion of God's glory and the sal- vation of souls—the two great objects for which I have been called to the Holy Prisst- hood. .

True, [have always had the advancement of the spiritual and temporal interests of iny people at heart ; true, [ have ever been desir- ous of securing to you all every aid to the proper discharge of your religious duties, compatible with our situation and limited means ; true, I have had the great happiness of freeing from debt the ecclesiastical instita tions of my missions, and have been able to erect here in Summerside a Convent building, within whos» walls a self-sacrificing sister- hood imparts to your caildren the inestimable blessing of a Christian education ; but I could never have aecomplished all, or any part of this work, had [ not at every turn the gener- ous and enthusiastic support of my parishion- ers. God has blessed the jittle mustard seed of our humble beginnings; He has planted in your hearts true Christian dispositions ; He has united the straggling flock into one com- pact sheepfold ; He has bestowed life and health and strength ypon the unworthy shep- herd, and to Him this day we joytully offer the fullest measure of our thanksgiving.

You speak with appreciation of the treasure of tine faith which you possess, and with gratitude to God for the consolations of reii- gion imparted by my ministry. Guard iutact that Holy Faith ; vindicate at all times these moral principles which underlie the whole structure of Christian society ; participate in the fruits of the ministry which Christ has committed to His Church; and by these religious influences alone will you be enabled to conquer in your fight with the world, the devit and the flesh. Be assured my sympathy shall always go out to you. As your pastor, your joys are my joys; your sorrows are iny sorrows. I earnestly hope to labor on in the holy priesthood for your wel- fare, so that you and your children may ever remain faithful members of (God’s Holy Church, by the practice to the end of your earthly career, of all the sacred duties re- quired of you by our holy religion. In this consists your earthly and eternal happiness. Even those who revile the Christian religion are forced to acknowledge its beneficient in- fluence upon society. *‘ Marvelous thing,” says a great philosopher, ‘“‘the Curistian re- ligion which appears to have no other object than oar happiness in the other life, as- sures us also happiness on earth.” May you participate at all times in the joys of Chris- tianity. May you ever remain a consolation to Holy Church, an honor to your Island home, and an example to‘al} as faithful and law-abiding citizens of this great Dominion. May you always remain steadfast in the glorious faith we possess, the same faith for which the Apostles died, our forefathers bled and suffered, and which has come down to us pure aud unsullied by any stain or error. I lave always endeavored to increase your proper appreciation of this glorious birthright; if | have succeeded, my ministry has not been in vain. ‘To-day, as your pastor, I address to you the words oi the great Apostle of the Gentiles to the Phillipians : ‘ Therefore, my brethren, dearly beloved and most desired, my joy and my crown, so stand fast in the Lord,”

this day fill up the measure of a quarter century. Great strides have been made for the material advancement of the people. Twenty-five years ago and we were far behind in the race with the world. We had no railway, we were under landlord rule; we had no decimal currency, and an isolated Province without any interest in common wilh our neighbors; we had no national aspirations nor any national future before us. Oar towns were towns in name only; this busy Summerside was _ stili the green sward. Then came Confederation making us part of the promisiag young Do- miion we love to designate, ‘* This Canada of Ours,” and the beneficial results of that union | need not here detail, We are citizens to-day of a country of which we may well feel proud, a country possessing all the elemeuts requisite tor the formation of a great nation, and what my eyes have seen since I began active work in the ministry over twenty sum- mers ago, gives me undoubted confidence in our future. The extraordinary progress we bave made is but an earnect of that greater progress which, blessed by God, under a constitution better than which no country on the face of the earth can boast, we must necessarily look forward to, in that happy future when Canada will have outgrown her girlhood and proudly taken her place amongst the nations, the compeer, if not the mistress of them all. To accomplish this end should all true Canadians bend their energies, full of faith in their country’s destiny :

‘* Let other nations sing the past, And ancient glories dead, Their sons their glance must back ward cast, While ours shall look ahead ; Republics rot and kingdoms fall, Time other states devours, But thou shall spread time’s faneral pall, Sweet Canada of ours.”

The reader of this too flattering address has made allusion to the happy days when we were students together within the classic walls of old St. Dunstan’s. I deem it, ia- deed, a precious privilege to have around me here to-day not only one but many of these school companions, ali of whom, together with our venerated Bishop and my otter brother Priests, have thought fit to houor this humble feist with their presence. All of these beloved class-mates are filling high and honorable callings iu life, and it is the joy of my jubilee tosee them at my side this mori- jing united with me in thanking God for all His favors. It is to me also a source of great happinees to behold gathered together in this Church wy parisaioners from all my missivns, : many of whom I have baptized, prepared for

i ‘2

first commuaoion, apd married, and for {whom [ hope to be spared to labor jin the future with greater zeal and

| perseverance than I have been enabled to do ,In the past. I recognize, here, tuo, many of our separated brethren whose good will and | triendship 1 am proud to possess. I have al- ways striven conformably with the spirit of the Gospel, for brotherly relations among al! creeds and classes, and I am, in leed, grateful _ tu those good frieuds who have come to unite with my parishoners this morning in honoring |my silver jubilee. Need 1 add that I am ; quite seusible of the unworthiness that | _ bring to the reception of all the honors you )are imposing upon me, That is a demonstra- (tion of your love and veneration for God's | Holy Priesthood In this spirit, then, do I , receive your kind words of praise and gener. ;ous offering, while from my heart i pray ! Almighty God to biess you all, my dear friends , and people, and bestow upon you and your | families his choicest blessings, | (Signed) Parrick Dore. Summerside, January 24th, 1839.

. ADDRESS FROM EMERALD BRANC IB. L. SOCIETY.

| This address was occompanied by a purse ; containing $80. It was read by Mr. George | McMahon :

| Rev. ano Dear Sir,—Oa behalf of the ! Emerald branch of the Benevolent Irish So- ; ciety, the undersigned hasten to convey to you | their warmest congratulations, ou this, the , twenty-fifth anniversary of your elevation to , to the priestinood. | We need scarcely remind you, Rev. Sir, of our deep obligations to you, for the warm in- , terest always manifested by youin the wel- ' fare of our Society. :

The cordial manner in which, on all ocea- sions, you responded to the calls made on your Services, as patron of our society, entitled you to our warmest gratitude.

With al:nost parental care, since the estab- lishment of onr Society, you watched over it, | you gave us wise counsel, youspoke eloquent words of encouragement tous from the prl- pit. Often at the saciifice of much comtort and convenience to yourself, have you travelled to preside at many of our meetings; and, ag a proof of the

intellectual progress of our society under your distinguished patronage, — extend-

ing but a little over a period of two years, we have only to refer tu the fact that already our society has been favored with lectures and addresses by some of the ablest and most elo- quent speakers in the land.

Further, Rev. Sir, permit us to assure you, and we do so, profoundly impressed with the conviction that no more pleasing information could be conveyed to you than the fundamen- tal object of our society—-charity to the poor of all denominations— has never for a moment been oyerlogked; for, although not over- burdened with much of the world’s goods, our society has done no little in relieving the poor and destitute, in visiting the sick, the aged, and the intirm within our reach, and endeavor- ing to lessen the load of their affliction.

And, now, Rev. Sir, we beg of you to ac- cept this small purse as an huinble offering of our gratitude and affectioa, as well as our ad- miration and esteem, and pray that you may live long enough to velebrate your golden jubilee and continue to be an ornament to your religion and your country.

ADDRESS FROM FORMER PARISHIONEKS OF DESABLE,

This address was read by John Bradley, a3 follows : :

Rev. ano Dear Srr,—We, the Parishion- ers of St. Joseph's, DeSable, among whom you labored so zealously in the early years of your Ministry, cannot allow the Twentvy-fifth anniversary of your elevation to the Priest- hood to pass without conveying to you a feeble expression ef our affsction and esteem, and tendering you our sincere and hearty con- gratulations.

The happy event which we unite in cele- brating to-day, vividly recails to the minds of many of ug the siender form, bright and cheerful countenance of the young “zealous Priest. who twenty-two years ago, came amongst us to minister to our spiritual wants.

In an address of this kind it would be almost impossible to even briefly outline the good work performed by you during the seven years in which you were our Consolator,
