n. nsv Catholic Church in James street, will be
opened and soemnly dedicated 10 Heaven and the
Hov Apostle ST. James, by the Right Rev'd. Bishop
Dubss.


This church is to be called st. James Church, in
compliment to ST. James, the holy apostle, Of whoml
take all my pcty, religion, and amiableness. The
ceremonies on this occasion, will be more splendid
than any got up in this city. How do pity the
bald, bad taste of barren Presbyteriansm la the
morning, high mass will be celebrated, ceremony of
religion. which resembles the ancient classical rites of
Greece and Rome, when they offered up sacrifices to
Apollo or to Mercury st. James the Apostle was
wise and amiable saint and SO is his namesake, |.


AT half past ten the service will begn-the Bishop
will be in full dress-he priests elegantly decorated
and the whole audience full of piey and beauty. All
the pretty women of New York are going tomorrow
tickets one dollar cach the proceeds to deiray the
expense Of the building, and the balance 10 feed the
hungry and cothe the naked. The music OF the old
Italian style, will be superb-surpassng any OF the
music heard IN any other church or theatre OF the
present day. We, Catholics, are the only sect that
have genuine in music, painting, or elegance OF
worship.


In the afternoon Vespers will begin at three o'clock
and the Rev. Mr. Mr.. Byrne will preach afterwards


We trust that all Protestants will 60 and hear and
see this celebration. The magnificent remains of the
ancient classical religions of Rome and Greece are
only TO be found in the ceremonies OF the Catholic
Church. Some of these forms are exactly the same
in which Plato, Demoshenes, Thcocritus, Virgil, and
the ancients, mixed We have indeed added 10 II the
true spirit of Christianity, and of late have thrown
over it the hue Of modern philosophy and fine taste
all of which improvements make the Catholic church
service the most complete and finished that ever was
invented Setting aside some OF the dogmas of the
church, and dismssing one or two old women, I'm
cuding in the latter Bishop Dubois and the Pope) the
Catholic church alone possesses the tone and taste Of
elevated civilization. When we shall have pope of
our own in this country, we shall be complete. Re-
gion must be supported and all greasy nfdels put
down Infdelity is only another name for vulgarty
Sweet are the OF true regon-indeed any religion
is better than none. Selah !!
