Dickel, the treasurer. characters were noted more, but little attention was The thieves made their Bishop Matz's Sermon Bishop Matz of Denver preached at St. Boniface church at the 10 o'clock mass on Sunday morning. A large congregation was present to hear the venerable prelate, but the heavy downpour of rain during most of the morning doubtless kept many away. The bishop took for his text verses from St. Paul’s Epistle to the Corinthians, “For as thou wouldst that others should do unto you, do ye even so unto them.” He spoke impressively upon the text, counseling his hearers not only to love their friends, but their enemies. Even as God sendeth the rain upon the just and unjust, so should we follow His example by loving those who hate and caluminate us. When the passions incentive to crime are weeded from the breast of mankind, and the example of the Lord followed, then indeed will this be a paradise on earth. He cited the case of David and Solomon in the cave in the desert. Fearing Solomon’s threat to slay him, David took refuge in the cave. Solomon followed, and during the heat of the day entered the cave to refresh himself—to cool off. He fell asleep, and while thus unconscious to the world about him, David crept up to him and cut from the sleeper’s cloak a piece of the jeweled cloth. David could have slain the man who had decreed his death, but being a man of God spared him. Solomon's threat to slay him, David took refuge in the cave. Solomon followed, and during the heat of the day entered the cave to refresh himself—to cool off. He fell asleep, and while thus unconscious to the world about him, David crept up to him and cut from the sleeper's cloak a piece of the jeweled cloth. David could have slain the man who had decreed his death, but being a man of God spared him. When Soloman awoke, David approached him from without the cave, proving by the severed cloth that he could have killed him, but had refrained by the injunction of the master. Solomon fell upon David's neck and both were firm friends thereafter. A widow woman lived in Florence with an only son. One day a soldier, passing her home, taking offense at some boys playing in front of her home, thrust his sword through the heart of her child. The soldier ran to the house for shelter. So well did the woman hide him that the officers who searched the house for him could not find him. Imagine her feelings when she overheard one of the men say, "Poor woman, she does not know it was her boy this soldier killed." When the officers had gone away she went to the man's hiding place, and offered him a purse of gold. "Take this," she said, "and make your escape. In my stable you will find my fleetest horse. Take it and go. Moreover, I shall make you my heir." The authorities of the city, being so impressed with the christian spirit exhibited by the poor woman, changed the name of the street, which now bears her name. "Say what you will, my dear friends, about these things," continued the bishop, "but remember the words of the Saviour upon the cross, 'Forgive them, father, they know not what they do.'" Bishop Matz departed on Monday for San Diego where he will remain awhile before taking up his homeward journey.
