Scope and Contents Oechtering previously sent McMaster the annual school report and asked him to publish it, but he has not seen it in print as yet. He concludes that it must not have reached the paper or must have been misplaced in favor of more urgent news. He asks him again that the enclosed lines not present be published since the report has created quite an interest in schools both within and outside of the diocese. It will encourage many priests who despair of having schools in their small...

Scope and Contents Oechtering, pastor of St. Joseph's Church of La Porte, is concerned with occasional remarks made about the morals of Father Hill, by an author unknown to him. In addition, he has been astonished to note that the excellent Freeman's Journal has published two statements which are unqualified and open expressions of the condemned error of traditionalism. The Vatican Council has defined that human reason, without the aid of revelation, can acquire the knowledge of God, but this dogma...

Scope and Contents The cause for the delay in answering his letter was due to her sister's illness. She asks Hudson to pray for her, and to recommend her to the prayers of the Confraternity of our Lady of the Sacred Heart. She thinks it presumptuous of her to think that she could write columns as good as those in the Ave Maria, but she did not become discouraged when Hudson told her that he had no room. Her taste is for little historical sketches. She sends a sample of her work so that Hudson might tell...

O'Flynn can keep his promise to Lefevere to give lessons to the gentlemen Lefevere mentioned the other day.

Girardin as a good substitute, as he speaks French fluently. His office is next to the Wayne County Court House. ` A.L.S. 3pp. ` Enclosure:

Scope and Contents He understands that it is the bishop's earnest wish to have the Sisters of the Good Shepherd locate here; the only obstacle is the want of a house. O'Flynn can supply this want upon reasonable and just terms.

Scope and Contents Because of his long loyalty to McMaster's paper, and because of their mutual friends in Gertrude and Wilfrid, he apologizes for intruding upon McMaster's privacy. McMaster has alluded to the conquest of Ireland by Henry II several times, denying all complicity in the matter by Adrian IV. An article has appeared in this month's number of Harper's Monthly on this subject which will probably do some harm at the present time. O'Hagan's attention was called to the article by a member of the...
