Scope and Contents The day named for the meeting in Troy is satisfactory to McQuaid. Cardinal John Franslin Franzelin? shows his peculiarities in the alterations he introduces. Father James S. O'Sullivan of Hudson writes to say he no longer has anything to do with the suit with Hudson Church. He has made his claim over to his brother to pay his debts. He cannot pay his personal debts with church money. The church at Hudson owes him nothing. As he has appealed to the Holy See to place his case before...

Benziger has sent the new prayer ordered by the Pope. McQuaid does not like the translation of the "Imperet illi Deus." It does not seem to give the full meaning. McQuaid likes the German translation. He will not direct his priests to change from the old prayers until he hears from Corrigan. They are in retreat this week. The Memorial on the Catholic University of America is ready for the translator. :: I-1-i A.L.S.Photostat from Archdiocesan Archives of New York 2pp. 12mo.

Next year the diocesan visitation will keep him from growing stagnant. :: I-1-i A.L.S.Photostat from Archdiocesan Archives of New York 1p. 12mo.

Scope and Contents The papers all over the country are full of the Father Edwards McGlynn incident. Corrigan should say nothing to Henry George and should send everything to Rome. He should give the facts about the Public school vs. the Catholic school, also McGlynn's action in regard to the Land League meetings. It is for the best interests of the people to replace McGlynn. If he is not removed from the city, any other discipline is of little use. McQuaid did not write to Rome on the "German question"....

Scope and Contents McQuaid did not expect the news he found in Corrigan's card of Christmas eve. Father Edward McGlynn was leading many young priests astray by his ability to fascinate them. If he will not yield to Rome then he steps out of the Church. McQuaid sends a copy of yesterday's Rochester "Democrat." The papers speak of Father Charles McCready going to St. Stephen's. He is the best one for that post. McGlynn has made friends for himself. He is hand in glove with Patrick Ford of the "Irish World"...

Scope and Contents McQuaid received a letter from Ella B. Edes . There is nothing special in it except what the Secretary and Msgr. Sbarretti told her in regard to the German question. Father P.M. Abbelen and his underhand workers will get very little satisfaction. The concession of separate parishes for respective languages will be granted as it already exists, through the action of the Bishops. Edes also says the Catholic University affair will not be settled until Cardinal James Gibbons gets there....

Scope and Contents McQuaid read in the Sun Father James T. Curran's insolent interview. If Corrigan is to rule his diocese, he must have the necessary power to inflict discipline on recalcitrant priests. The newspaper say Father Richard Lalor Burtsell was suspended and removed from Epiphany. If Corrigan can crush this rebellion by the Father Edward McGlynn faction, he will have won a great battle. Corrigan must send newspapers to the Propaganda, Cardinals Gibbons, Howard, Masella, to Bishops Persico,...

Scope and Contents McQuaid arrived in Rome on the 5th. He has seen no one yet, except Ella B. Edes. He has received a number of slips including those concerning the McGuire case. Corrigan should send the report of Father Richard L. Burtsell's testimony. McQuaid intends to take up this subject first of all. He has Father Edward McGlynn's speech at the anti-poverty meeting. This amounts to nothing. In it there is language against the Church and its authorities and teachings. If McQuaid doesn't get...

Scope and Contents McQuaid is still waiting for the report of Father Richard L. Burtsell's testimony in the McGuire case. Cardinal John Simeoni is timorous to a frightful degree. Burtsell has avowed himself friend and counsel of Father Edward McGlynn. Burtsell said McGuire did no wrong in attending the Anti-Poverty meetings. McQuaid now feels that it is Corrigan's duty to forbid Catholics to be present at these meetings, and make it a reserved case. McQuaid advises Corrigan to prepare a letter instancing...

Scope and Contents McQuaid met Archbishop Joseph Duhamel of Ottawa. Duhamel let out that Rome proposed to establish a sort of ecclesiastical court, headed by Cardinal James Gibbons, to hear and decide all ecclesiastical cases, except money ones. This week McQuaid will take up the Father Richard L. Burtsell case. The telegraphic despatches mention Corrigan's pastoral of Sunday. The rector here thinks Corrigan should have allowed the Father Edward McGlynn business to die of itself, but McQuaid told him...

In Borden's "Miniature Lives of the Saints" there is the legend relating how St. Brigid came to be called "the Mary of Erin". The expression "Mary of Erin" would lead people to think the nun of Kildare fills for her country the office of patronage, mediatorship and mothership which Mary occupies for the rest of nations. This is false. :: X-3-l A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo.

She is rather disappointed in the subject that Father wants her to write for the Ave Maria. She would like to write a few columns in the magazine of some special book reviews that she has on hand.

Scope and Contents In delayed answer to Hudson's query, she states that she already has secured the Archbishop's permission to begin the publishing of St. Patrick's Monthly. The only remaining obstacle hindering the printing of the first number is a lack of funds.

Scope and Contents Mary L. Meany expresses gratitude to Hudson for the ten dollars she received from him and for the graces of the last few weeks which she is sure are a result of his prayers. She explains why his prayers were so highly valued. When she first spoke of the order of the Immaculate Conception to her confessor, the Encyclical of Pio Nono regarding secret orders seemed to show her that she was to have an active part in the struggle between the Church and those secret orders. Her confessor and...

Scope and Contents "Dion and the Sibyls" went to the wrong person for notice. Miss Meany believes the fashion nowadays for Catholic authors is to separate what was united in the Incarnation and show Christ as a historical personage. She disagrees with this idea and will have nothing to do with it as she believes in edifying Catholic stories. In the story Dion and the Sibyls she notices that the most eloquent passage in it is a glorification of gladiators who are silent under the agony of a violent death....
