Sassel is a German priest, but offers his entire sympathy to McMaster for the hasty step taken by Bishop Peter Joseph Baltes of Alton. He compares this action with that of a thunderbolt which strikes a Catholic church steeple, but cautions McMaster against firing up in his indignation. It is better to let the storm harm the steeple and to pass away leaving the steeple partly burned. Many happenings in the West have repercussions in the East, but the East is competent to take care of them. He encourages McMaster in the controversy and tells him to proceed fearlessly in subduing it. :: I-2-c A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
