Perhaps Brownson has heard that the assistant of Father Anciaux after a journey to Australia and continual sickness in the islands of the Pacific has returned to America and is located at West De Pere. He is employed in propagating his favorite devotion to St. Joseph, Publishes the Annals of St. Joseph, and has the direction of an association for the propagation of the devotion. He urges Brownson, as one of the leaders of the Catholic Congress, to intorduce the devotion to St. Joseph to the list of matters to be considered. It is not simply a question of piety and devotion, but the Pope has spoken and decided that the intercession of St. Joseph is one of the providential means against the evils of the time. The problem of the day is how to conciliate capital and labor, wealth and poverty. The Holy Father points out the example given by St. Joseph. It should be indicated to the men of the Congress in order that talented men should meditate on it and clearly give the remedy to the people. He asks if it would not be good to offer the resolution that the Congress will by every means propagandize the Devotion to St. Joseph and that the third Sunday after Easter the Feast of the Patronage its members give the example of the devotion and zeal for his interests. Brownson will understand the spirit of this hasty letter and will contribute to this great good. :: III-3-c A.L.S. 2 pp. 8 vo.
