Lebel expresses surprise at Lefevere's idea of even the possibility of being guilty of the great ecclesiastical fault mentioned in his letter. Besides good manners and common decency, theology teaches that certainty of death is absolutely required in the case supposed. Lebel has always maintained just respect for the priest concerned. He had never heard one single word about the matter in question until yesterday. Lebel fears Antoine Parent 's case may result regrettably. He has written him in Ionia the news of the refusal of the dispensation. The girl, Carpenter, has been baptized in the Baptist sect but belongs to no creed; she is open to conviction, and has made fair promises to raise the children as Catholics. Lebel thinks a dispensation might be good. :: III-2-k A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
