Show I EUREKA, NEV. Bishop Scanlan Confirmed Large Class at St. Brendan's. (Eureka Sentinel. Oct. 21.) The Right Rev. L. Scanlan arrived ! from Salt Lake last Satin day and spent three days in Eureka. On Sunday he confirmed a large class that had been I instructed in Christian doctrine for several months by Rev. Father Man-ion, Man-ion, pastor of the Catholic church, and the bishop found them well prepared for the reception of the sacrament.- There were two masses on Sunday, the first at S o'clock, when the Rev. Bishop was celebrant. At 10 o'clock the large congregation, including many non-Catholics, filled the church. RevT" Father Manion celebrated the mass, and the llev. Bishop preached a force-I force-I ful and effective sermon. He first ex-1 ex-1 plained the glory and power of Jesus po beautifully taught in the gospel ot the day the forgiveness of the ins and curing the sick man of the palsy-that palsy-that had been brought to him. He explained points of Catholic doctrine and that the church used material things in her ceremonies to spiritually impress her children. The bishop related re-lated several incidents of his early missions . when as a priest he was stationed sta-tioned in Nevada, and he told of the lessons of forbearance, charity and humility hu-mility they taught him. and he hoped his hearers would always battle against temptation. The bishop addressed ad-dressed in simple and beautiful 'language 'lan-guage the class he was to confirm, which appealed to all present. He urged them to begin life well and to live - an honest, modest, temperate, charitable and humble life to gain the final reward. He spoke in sympathy with the family who the previous evening even-ing suffered the loss of their home by fire, together with all their earthly belongings, be-longings, and he said the greatest comfort com-fort in our hours of sadness came "when we laid our crosses at the feet of him who . suffered for us. Christians, he said, should accept as coming from God adversities and misfortunes, as well as gladness and prosperity.. The bishop referred to the hymn "Nearer. My God, to Thee." which-waa sung at his mass at S o'clock, as his favorite hymn, and said that every hour of outlives out-lives should bring us nearer to God. In concluding, the bishop said he heard at Salt Lake and at points alon-ihe road that Eureka was to have a boom, and he earnestly wished that the hopes and longings of the people who had ! stayed in the camp, all these year;: would: be realized, and that he would rejoice with them upon the return of the good old days.
