They have received recently from Rome a letter of Very Rev. George Ruland, C.SS.R., their Provincial, on the subject of remaining or leaving Monroe, Michigan . Poirier sends a copy of the reasons given to Propaganda by their Vicar General Rudolph Smetana, C.SS.R. in opposition to Lefevere's last petition. Since Lefevere claims he has never seen the figures on the parish, Poirier lists the receipts and expenses for the church and house. Ruland has the same figures. He is all the more satisfied to be ordered by Rev. Francis X. Seelos, their Rector in Baltimore, to send this copy, which Lefevere, on reading, can convince himself that, although Poirier has sometimes made threats and had very strong reasons to do so still he had spared Lefevere from their first Superiors. If Lefevere had omitted to speak of them in writing to Rome, he would have avoided a displeasing disagreement, since it ought to be considered who is accused in Rome: it is the Very Rev. Bernard Joseph Hafkenscheid, C.SS.R . former U. S. Provincial. Lefevere can see from all this that the Redemptorists are not ordered to return to Monroe and that it is best during negotiations that the bishop assign a cure lest the parish languish for a very long time.
