The people in the town of Wright would prefer that the priest should own the parish house, for then he would take better care of it. If the priest is, after a year, taken away, the people would want back half of the money. The people in Berlin, Michigan are a "curious kind of saints." They never support him, nor the church, never fetch him to the church, won't remain after Mass when asked to, never sent their children to catechism, although he asked them - "in a word they never care about my words." In the Decree of the Councils Schreiner finds nothing to prove him wrong in regard to the horse. Without proper support from the people, the priest would die from hunger. And Schreiner thinks the pious Berlin congregation would do that. Schreiner encloses $4 for the Propagation of the Faith. :: III-2-j A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
