FATHER HENNEBERRY ON THE EX-PRIEST CHINIQUY.

at the marquee, last evening, the Re\ Father Hennebery, Catholic Missionary, said : Before the Bosary begins, I desire tc make some remarks on a little notice I saw in onelof your dalies, and it is to the effect that a certain ex-priest named Chiniquy is to come to visit you before long. I know all about Chiniquy. I know about his doings I spent nearly 40 years of my time in America, and from first to last I kept the track of Chiniquy. He was a Catholic priest 20 years ago. He had charge of a congregation at a place called Kankakee, in the vicinity of Chicago. On account of some un-priestly conduct his Bishop sus pended him, and Chiniquy resented that, and held his charge in spite of the Bishop. He brought 200 or 300 of his people to side with him in the conflict with his Ordinary, and not only were they brought under the schism with him, but they persisted in then schism so that he and they were excom municated from the Catholic Church. Why •should he be called now a Catholic priest ? He is indeed a Catholic priest, for "a priest once, a priest for ever;" but many years ago he was excommunicated from the Cath olic Church, so that we have no connection with him now. He was taken up, however, by non-Catholics, who very soon rejected him. They proved him, and they wanted no more to do with him. One reason was that he went all round the country, preach ing everywhere that he could hope to succeed in obtaining means to preach, that his people were persecuted by the Catholics;—which was not the fact— and saying that they were iv a destitute condition. He preached and obtained means by his preaching which were directed by the railway trains to Kankakee. But it was sooia discovered that his people n Kankakee were not in need of any such means ; that they were as Avell off as the people all round. It was-also discovered that much of the money that was given to him was applied, not for the purpose of supporting his so-called persecuted children, but applied in improving his farm. The Protestants, whom he had gulled, learning very soon what kind of a man he was, that he was deceiving them, and obtaining money under false pretences, threw him off; and he was branded all over the country in the newspapers, and the Protestants were they who did it. The Catholic people did not mind him any more. But he contrived to gull the Protes tants, who were induced to give him money by his false pretences. There was a mission in Kankakee some years ago, and in that mission nearly all ivhom Chiuiquy had brought into schism were reclaimed to the obedience of the Catholic Church. So he 'lost his little flock. He had to go in some other direction. He then returned to Canada, where he had been before he was at Kankakee, and begau to noise it abroad in the papers that Jie was making many converts. He said lie.was preaching the " pure|Gospel," and published that he was converting people by the thousand. It was questioned by Catholic news paper men whether that were true. They had heard so many of the mis-state ments ot Chiniquy that they were not •••willing to give credit to the report he had spread abroad regarding these conversions, • and they challenged him to point out where those converts were made. Heindicated some place, but no converts could be there found. •Then they challenged him to give the names of those converts, to give the numbers of ' the houses; and the names of the streets in which they lived ; and some names were given of streets, and numbers of houses; and when the matter was investigated, and when the challengers went to the different houses indicated by Chiniquy, where the converts were alleged to live, what must have been the astonishment of the good Catholics who lived there, and who were highly indignant that they were even suspected of falling into Chiniquy's rebel lion against ,the Catholic Church ! That was exposed. It was found to be false. Very possibly he found some who sided with him, because iv every place there will be some malcontents, who fall in with anybody who gets up and makes a speech. Very possibly in Canada he found someone who went in with him. But it is utterly false, as has been published in the news papers of Australia, and as I saw in one newspaper, that he had 25,000 who sided with him. I pronounce that utterly false. The Catholic newspapers of America have shown that to he utterly false. His last story is, that one evening he got in amongst an Indian nation of Canada. He got in there about six o'clock in the even ing, and before half-past nine he had over 100,000 of them converted to the " pure Gospel." Now he is going over Australia everywhere, telling them he wants money to support his poor Indians ; telling them the Indians are persecuted by Jesuits ; and some of the people in Australia are so far led astray by that fallen priest, that they are piling money into his hands. Well, God help us, how the people can be led astray ! I hear he is announced to come amongst you. I say what I say to-night in order that I may •give a word of warning to the people of this town against that man. If he comes here, it is not for the "pure Gospel"—not to help the Indians of North America—but to enrich himself. If you are foolish enough to give him money, you can do it to your heart's content, but you will find out later that he has no intention to preach the "pure Gospel," but that he wants your money, and the Indians of America will never see a penny of it either. I have no intention, my friends, to follow Chiniquy 'in his statements against the Catholic Church. I understand that he goes about talking very much to non-Catholics • about alleged disorders in the Catholic Church in connection with Confession. Well, I suppose there is nobody who 'knows what Confession is better than the Catholic people ; they have to go to Con cession so often themselves. Nearly all come in this city during this mission. 'Catholics have to go to Confession at and many thousands all over the world go monthly. Surely the Catholics • should know about Confession. We have had Confession nearly 1,900 years in the 'Catholic Church. It is no novelty. If any Catholic knew it to he the corrupt thing that Chiniquy says it is, how comes it that Catholic people admire it, even though it subjects them to so many mortifications; -that they cherish it, and cling.to the in stitution against the inclinations of flesh and blood. I ask all your non-Catholic friends when Chinquy comes and talks • about Confession not to believe him —a man who has been known to air America as a public liar. You cannot believe a public liar. How can you believe any one who is known as a liar? The Protestants of America made it known that he was collecting money under false pretences. The fact that Chiniquy went about telling lies regarding his people, was made known 'by the public Press of America. Therefore, when he comes to you and tells you stories about confession, do not believe a word he says. We Catholics know what he says is not true. He speaks about the priests, about the nuns and monks. Well, let him have his fling ! He was' not the first to talk about them. But such charges are false stiff. The Catholic Church and its institutions will survive when poor Chiniquy will be dead and gone. But you cannot stop some poor deluded people from giving him money. So far as you Catholic .people are concerned, do not mind him. Depend upon it, he will play himself out very soon. The worst thing T have heard about him is that he has been consecrating wafers—altar breads—and selling them for money, j (Sensation.), I never, In all my life, heard, of such outrageous sacrilegious. conduct. If it is true, it, is the most blasphemous and sacrilegious .act. I have ever read of, from Judas Iscariot down. (Renewed sensation, and cries of "Oh!") It is well that the people of this city should, know these things. I you the truth about him. If you do not believe it, you can have you way. So far as lam con

cerned, I have done my duty when I have forewarned you. What I tell you about Chiniquy is known all over America; Alt Catholics and all Protestants, as a rule know this. The only feeling in America amongst Catholics and Protestants is the deepest and most profound contempt for the man Chiniquy.

The mysteries of the Rosary were then gone through. ■ . In his address' in the marquee last even ing the Rev.' Father flenne berry entered into an elaborate defence of the Catholic doctrine of indulgences, and the mysteries of the Rosary. He defended the repetition of certain prayers, and explained that the use of beads was to remind the devotee of the number of Pater Nosters and Aye Marias repeated. He related how the Anchorites were accustomed to have two baskets, one of which contained 150 pebbles or grains of corn, and as they repeated daily 150 of the Psalms of David they removed one pebble or grain from one basket to the other at the end of each Psalm. The Rev. Father then called on those in the congregation who had rosary beads, cruci fixes, and religious books, to hold them up, and he blessed each in succession in Latin, giving afterwards a translation of one of the blessings in English. He also invited the people to bring religious booksaud pictures to be blessed, and explained at soinelcngth the grounds upon which such blessings were given. At a subsequent stage he said, speaking of journalists, that sometimes they were deceived; but when they discovered the deception, if they did right, no ' one could blame them. He wished a blessing on those newspapers that were endeavouring to pro mote good, as the Auckland papers were doing during this mission.

ANNOUNCEMENTS — MARRIAGES."

' MIXED

The Rev. Father announced that he would deliver an address this (Friday) evening on the subject of " Mixed Marriages j" that after this evening, there will be early Mass every day at 5 o'clock, except on Sundays.

THIS MORNING'S SERVICES.

ADDRESS TO YOUNG MEN.

At half-past four o'clock this morning Father Hcnneberry delivered a special address to young men. There could not have been fewer than SOU present. The piiucipal subjects of the discourse were, the necessity of constant prayer, the frequen tation of the sacraments, aud the duties pertaiuing to the single, married, and religious states, and to the priesthood. He earnestly and eloquently denounced " fancy dances" and balls generally, saying that the dangers of such things were so great that it required a soul of the highest Chris tian fortitude to come from them without spiritual ruin. He eulogised tho action of Miss Sherman, iv America, who refused to dance a "round" dance with H.R.H. the Prince of Wales, because she said it was forbidden by her pastor. He warned his hearers agaiust walking out at nights with those of the other sex, and said that .such practices were not indispensable' prelimi naries to matrimony. On this point he referred to the practice in Ireland of mar riages being arranged by the parents with; the consent of their children ; and particuv larly condemned "kissing," and other-, practices, winch, he contended, induced im purity aud sin. The rev. gentleman adduced the example of a young Catholic banker iv America, who, when he desired to enter the married state, weuttotheresidenccof ayoung lady whom he had long admired in secret for her Christian virtures, and first proposed the matter to her parents, who in turn con sulted their daughter, and the result was a happy marriage, upon which the church poured her choicest benedictions. The rev. missionary said that all were called to one of four vocations : The religious state, the priesthood, the married, and the single conditions. The religious state was the holiest aud safest; the priesthood was the highest, though not by any means the safest, as it was beset with many dangers ; the married state was the least safe, though holy and elevated ; but the single state, when properly lived, was to be commended because of its sanctity and safety. He said to his auditory that if they felt called upon by God to live a single life, not to be deterred by the fear that the finger of scorn might be pointed at them, and it might be said, "Oh look at the old bachelor." But if they felt called upon to engage in marriage "never to look outside oil the Catliolic Church for a partner." Father Henneberry next referred to the practices of cursing and swearing, denounciiigjthern in strong terms. He also commended temperance, and said he was glad to hear that the native-born New Zealauderewere not addicted to strong drink. The habit of leading infidel books— "novels, in which there were love stories"— and other niatter.s,r\vere, next referred to; and the preacher, invited' all who had such books to- bring them- to him, and he would make an "awful bonfire.'"".in the rear of the marquee, and burn all the poison and cor ruption which they . contained. At the conclusion of the sermon, the rev. father announced that.he would lecture this even ing on : mixed;marriages/;and invited all. young men who were thinking of matrimony to be present- K^-' "'. /■' '• ?.:

ST. SEPULCHRE'S CONCERT.

A large and fashionable audience assembled last evening in the Choral Hall to listen to the well-arranged concert in aid of the St. Sepul chre's repairs fund. The concert was really a good one, and highly- creditable to all concerned. The full choir of ladies and gentlemen, about 30, were under the directorship of Mr V, Kice, who performed his duties in the best possible manner, and accompanied the vocal sta on the pianoforte. The programme included glees, solos, and ballads; and some of these were poetic, and of a very choice character, reminding us of the merry songs of Robert Herrick, the good old Devonshire parish, of the 17th century, who sung of " Cherry Ripe," and growled at. Crom well, who. in consequence, deprived him of his living. The opening glee of " Love's Heigh Ho," by Wm, Daniel, the friend of Shakespere was of this lively catalogue of ' olden glees. "I am dreaming" was sweetly rendered by Mr Buruham; "Do they miss me" was an original song of a domestic tone in which a mother pathetically utters the ques tion; divided by the " cruel sea" from the loved ones. Apart from the merit of the verses, which was not inconsiderable, the vocalist, Mrs Mit chell, sang the song so pathetically, and with so much, tenderness of feeling, that the whole of the people were sensibly touched: and an encore wa3 demanded and complied with. Mrs Snell followed with a pianoforte solo, *' Danse Negre." " The clang of the Wooden Shoon" was a homely and pleasant ballad, of the Klngsley type, well sung by Miss Bleazard. Mrs Stainer sang "In Shadow-land" (the gem of the evening), in a carefully measured and impressive manner, evidencing care and appreciation of sentiment. This lady being compelled to submit to a1 recall, gave "0 take me to thy heart again," which elicited much applause. The pianoforte solo, by Miss Philson, did her great credit, and wbb certainly the best instrumental performance of the evening. " Good Night Beloved," was the next piece, and in its rendering we noticed one or two slight discordances, which seemed to mar its harmony. Tennyson's ." Owl" was ably per formed. Mrs Glover was successful in the pretty rustic song "Alice, where art thou?" Thiß lady deserved the enthusiasm evoked. Two young ladies, Miss Fenton and Miss Connell, gave " The Lark" (a duet) with much satisfaction. Miss Gertrude James followed with a pianoforte solo, "Fantasia on American airs," and was re-called for a second example of her exquisite powers as an accomplished pianist. Mr H. Gilflllan sang "Never More" and Mrs Mitchell "On the cold shores of the stranger." Several other glees, and a pianoforte duet, "Fanfare Militaire," by Miss and Mr H. Connelly nicely executed, and the National Anthem, brought the concert to a close.
