Johnston's Sermon. — In Charlottetown to-day, as everywh else throughout the world where there are Irishmen or the descendants of Lrishmen, the festival of Ireland’s Patron Saint is be ing right royally celebrated. Lere, as elawhere, the little shamrock is much in evidence, in many instances it being worn side by side with the red white and blue. Flage are floating from many flags-staffs and everyone seems to have entered into the spirit of the occasion. The procession cf the two Irish Societies was the largest and most supveeannatias that has been seen in Charlottetown for years, cod many complimentary remarks were heard as the men passed along the streets to the stirring Irish airs played by the two bands. It was about 9.45 when the members of the Ancient Order ef Hiberniane, head- by marshal McMahon, left the ball on Lower Queen Street and to music furn- n.shed by Galbraith’s bandjmarched up to the Hall of the Benevolent Irish So- ciety on Kent Street. Here the two societies formed up, the Hibernians leading the way, followed by the Benevolent Irish Society with the League of the Cross Band, their marshal, Mr. Jobo Connolly, being mounted. The Jine of march was down Queen Street to Richmond Street, thence aloog Richmond aod Great George to the Cathedral. The service at St. Dunetan’s Cathed-~ ral was atleoded by ap immense COngyg- gation. The members of the two s0- cieties occupied the pews im the centre aisles The celebration of High Mass began at 10 o’clock. Rev. Dr. Monaghan was the celebrant, aseieted by Rev. Dr. Curran and Rev. Dr. Morrieon as Deacon and Sub-Deacon. Rey. J. F, Johnston, of the Cathedral staff, preached an able sermon on the oc. casion. “And the Lord said to Abrabam : “ Go forth out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and ont of thy father’s house, and come into the land which I ehall show thee."—Genesis XII,1. Preaching from | this text Father Johnson epoke of the Catholic Church as the greatest training schoo! of charaeter the world has ever seen. He showed how her saints and heroes stood out in sbining relief against the barbariem of the ege in which many of them lived. Foremost among these was that great eaint whom the chu:ch bonors today—St. Patrick. True religion was on the point of vanishing from the earth when St. Patrick received the God- given message: “Go forth out ef thy country, and from thy kindred, and out of thy father’s house, and. come tuto tne land which I sball show you.” Ireland was the Jand which the Lord had chosen. “And that ieland green war as fair a scene As ever man’s eye did eee, With ite chieftain’s bold and ite temples old, And@ its homes and its altars free. No foreign foe did that green isle know, No stranger bood it bore, Save the merchant train from sunty Spsio, And from Africa’« golden shore. And tbe young mau’s heart did start, Ana the old man’s eye would smile As their thoughts would roam o’er the ocean foam To tbat lose and holy isle. St Celestine was Pope when St. Patrick went to Rome with lettters of introduction from St. Germanus,in which was told how Patrick, once @ captive io & western island, bad, ever since his escape, @ strong desire to go to bring the light of truth aud | knowledge to that distant land which sat inthe shadow of paganism. The Pope comm issio ped him to preach the Gospel of Christ in Ireland, avd Pat- rick at once eet out tor the ecene of his future labors.

DICKEY | During thie period learning suffered greatly, bu in the ced tury of peace which foliowed it received 4 new impetus from the founding in [relaad of the great monastic and teach ing orders of the middle ages. Then came ihe Nermans, but being co religion- themselves. He then pict red that night of dark and religious persecution which fullowed up tothe year 1829. Toevwry solicitation of the tempter to abandon Ler faith Ireland replied in the wordsof the Apostle, “Judge ye, whether we are to ebey God or man.” But the persecution and saffering at home that caused the awfulexodus of ovr fathers, became, under God’s Providence, the meaus of establishing in far-off lands the glorious standard of the cross. And to-day, from North to Soath, from East to West, the sons of Ireland gather together in basilica and chape! to hosor their patron Saint, and to hear the story of how Ireland kept the faith. In conclusion he admonished his hearers to remember the bright heritage which their forefathers had handed down to them, and exhorted them never to dis- grace it, norever tobe ashamed of it. Pray that the faith of Ireland may ever be ker glory, that its bright light may never wane till the Atlantic waves shall cease to beat against her bold promoetories, and the winds of Heaven shal! forget to play around her mountain ridges. During tne course of the sermon a col- lection was taken up in aid of the poor. After Mass the procession wae re-formed and some of the principal streets of the city were paraded. Crowds of people viewed the march from various points of vantage in the vicivity of the Catbedral, and thestreets slong the route ccotained greatimany persone anxious to get a glimpse of the wearers of the green and gola. To-night at 8o’clock there wil) bea grand concert given inthe Opera House under the auspices of the Benevolent Irish Society, which will conclude the celebra- tion ot the day in Charlottetown. The programme prepared for the occasion is a splendid one, and there should be an over flowing audience. NO RELIEF FOR CHARLOTTETOWN. Ice Reported at Ottawa to be Ten Feet Thick. COPY OF TELEGRAMS.
