Philadelphia, November 8. The Congress of the United
States, the Assembly and Council of the State of
Pennsylvania, and a number of principal gentlemen of various
orders, having been invited by the Minister of France, to be
present at the praises offered to Heaven in the Catholic
church, upon occasion of the late glorious success of the
allied arms; the Abbe Bandole, almoner to the Embassy of His
Most Christian Majesty, ascended the pulpit, and addressed
to this august assembly the following discourse; after which
a Te Deum set to music was sung.
[Sermon follows, 2 columns ending with:] Let us offer him
pure hearts, unsoiled by private hatred or public
dissention; and let us with one will and one voice, pour
forth to the Lord that hymn of praise, by which christians
celebrate their gratitude and his glory.
