Delbaer intends to go to the old country since the death of Bishop Caspar Henry Borgess in Kalamazoo. Delbaer thanks Edwards for the hospitality he enjoyed at the college during the persecution he sustained at the hands of B.B. in consequence of his deposition of an oath in the first week of May 1873 followed exactly 17 years after by a "depositio cadaveris" in the grave of Father...

Scope and Contents Delbaere is living in the priest's house; Father J. T. Stephens left it at 4 A.M. the eve of the Epiphany. Lefevere had told Delbaere that all the furniture belonged to the house, but nearly all worth taking was gone—even the pigeons! John Clancy has the pew books. A collection was made in the Church for Stephens, and the committee brought it to him in Detroit. They intended to petition Lefevere not to remove Stephens, but Stephens dissuaded them, saying that Lefevere was engaged with Bishop...

Scope and Contents He encloses $10 for renewal of his subscription. He distributed the sample papers among parishioners, but very few can afford to buy it. He compliments McMaster on his stand against Ontologism. He feels that system contains the seeds of all possible error, and will prevent entirely the study of Scholastic philosophy. He feels that the ontological students are grand-fathered by Malebranche. Their misconceptions and misrepresentations of doctrine of the Scholastics form the main...

Scope and Contents Delbaere has read McMaster's article called, "a False and Pernicious Criticism," and writes McMaster that his own criticism is itself, erroneous and unitentionally unjust in several respects. De Consilio spoke of two non-catholics uniting in marriage, who, though admitting the possibility of a divorce, a vinculo, by an error of understanding, yet mean for the time being to give their free consent to the marriage. Delbaere believes McMaster has italicized some of these words himself, but...

Scope and Contents Delbaere's room in the cathedral rectory is such that priests invited for a chat and a smoke refuse to enter it. He desires no change merely for comfort or show, but to stop criticism. Father John F. Van Gennip asked him whether he any work to do in the cathedral. Father James Hennessee Hennessey said his room was never intended for a priest; Father CharlesChambille inquired recently whether Lefevere had as yet given Delbaere any place. If these priests talk that way what must others, less...

Scope and Contents Father Delbeare sends McMaster $5.40 as mission dues to aid the Indian Missions. He promises also to say a weekly Mass and daily memento for the undertaking, which may be a wonderful means of redress toward the Indians for the calamities they have suffered at the hands of the country. The society will meet the approval of the Church everywhere and should grow like the mustard-seed of the Bible. American Catholics have not done as well as they might have done in furthering the work of...

Scope and Contents Delbreil is pleased to have some direct news from Brute after ten years. He would enjoy more to speak to him verbally but fear that they will not meet until they meet in haven. He blessed the Lord for the progress of the church in North America. Brute is fortunate to have been called to contribute to this growth personally. He has only a small sum of 70 francs to send. This is not for lack of feeling but because of the poverty to their church since the revolution. Even the presence of...

Scope and Contents On returning from Jackson where he is busy with building a church, Delcros found at Mr. Wederstrandt's a letter from Father J.M. Masnou, C.M. saying that Blanc disapproved of Delcros' having heard 4 or 5 confessions in the chapel before leaving for Bayou Sara. Here are the circumstances.

Scope and Contents Delebecque received Lefevere's letter of July 19. He thanks him for the details about Father de Balle who, he hopes, will always be a worthy priest. He is sorry that Lefevere admitted Father Charles Lemagie . He fears that if the clergy know he is a missionary in the diocese of Detroit they will have a bad opinion of the diocese. He advises him to use him only to say Mass and not to put his name in the Almanac as it is known there. The Bishops of Belgium have done everything possible in...

As a partisan of the cause Perché? is defending so logically, Delegorgue informs him of the provisions of the law which contradict those advanced by the trustees that the pastor must be an American citizen. Article 101? of the civil code requires only that to perform marriages the minister be a resident. It is absurd to invoke laws of other countries. :: V-4-m A.L.S. 1p. 4to.

Scope and Contents Delente likes New Orleans when Blanc is there but outside of that she does not find it attractive. She is almost persuaded that she will have to go to try her fortune elsewhere.
