Scope and Contents The writer hopes that, since the Catholic papers of Europe are going to reporduce the writer's circular letter, the editor's newspaper will also concur with some outstanding publicity according to the ideas of the circular in order to prepare the faithful and clergy for the great event whereby the Vatican Fathers will place the universal Church under the supreme patronage of St. Joseph.

Scope and Contents Toner thanks Hudson for the money for the Casamicola disaster. He has been obliged to return to Dax on the advice of his physcian to continue the baths for his rheumatism. Missionary work in Pennsylvania broke his health. It is unfortunate that so great a number of Catholics have lost their faith since Bishop John Neumann died. Both Neumann and Archbishop Francis P. Kenrick had placed Catholicism in Pennsylvania in a good state and seemed on the way to victory but the public school has...

Scope and Contents He thanks Hudson for his letter and the subscription to the Ave Maria which he wishes to continue to be sent to him at the Hospital de Dax where he will be under the care of the Sisters of Charity for several months.

This summer Toner has to remain in Naples to help the Apostolic Missionary from Central Africa to collect funds. Toner and the French...

Quinn followed it with a card in its favor. In his mind, the giving of the Protestant School Board the control of the books, customs etc. of a catholic school will not make that school any better than the present public...
