Father Pax sends McMaster $5 for subscription to the Journal. He feels that the Journal contains more serious information in its columns than in those of all the German papers which the writer has always kept. He compliments McMaster on the defense of the spiritual and temporal power of the Pope. The German speaking clergy in his vicinity have a "Pastoral Journal", but that McMaster's paper contains much more deep thinking, especially in the articles of "Jus" . He wishes that Jus would write more on that subject. He draws attention to a valuable work written by Charles G. Deuther of Buffalo, New York, called "The Life and Times of Bishop Timon". He asks that McMaster, who was always a great admirer of Bishop Timon, give it his srutiny and approbation. He wishes that he could do something for the Journal, but his congregation is exclusively German of the St. Louis revolutionary stock, as are all the missions in the diocese. :: I-1-n A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
