Scope and Contents He received McFarland's letter some time ago, and it dissipated the fog and melancholy that overhangs this place.

He was too elated when he went to Utica. Then he had trouble with the other priest, Father Joseph Stokes who gave prescriptions beyond those of the Bishop. He wrote to the Bishop but Stokes did also. Now he is...

Father McMillan encloses a check for $8.20 and suggests a volume of "Characteristics from Brownson" in attractive binding, selected in the plan adopted by Lilly for Cardinal Newman.

Scope and Contents No doubt the Catholic Congress will have something to say in expressing the convictions of the laity concerning the spread of good literature; and it might not be out of place to mention the utility of preparing suitable lists of the best books, to be circulated through some central organization.

Scope and Contents McNeirny apologizes for his delay since he wanted to remove any doubt about the ceremony for which he is to be master of ceremonies. He quotes from the decree that the altar must be consecrated at the same time that the church is to be consecrated. McNeirny takes for granted that the altar must be a fixed one. As to the address, since there is no founder he suggests that they omit it. The breaking of the seal of the present altar and extracting the relics would desecrate the present altar...
