Scope and Contents He calls McMaster's attention to the "Peace Jubilee" which is about to begin at the "Hub." The world assembles to sing an anthem of peace while the Pope is still in horrible imprisonment.

Scope and Contents Brownson's letter of the 21st is at hand, and the Archbishop entirely endorses the proposed Catholic Congress. It has long seemed to him that the American laity have been little called on to interest themselves in promoting Catholic affairs, all being left to be done by the clergy, the laity sitting by as an uninterested spectator. This state of affairs may have been a result or reaction from the struggle on the question of trustees. At any rate, the condition is unfortunate, for the aid...
