ERIN TETzEL.-Bishop Timon, of Buffalo, has
adopted the plan invented by Leo X, for i'm
proving the finances of the Church. Bishop
Tmon wants money, and by hook or by crook,
Bishop Tmon is determined to have it. The
Church is willing that the people shall refrain
from sin, but the Church cares more about the
peoples money than it does ahout their piety I;
and Bishop Timon, in the name of the Church,
is free to consent that the people sin, provided
the cash is only forthcoming In recent pas
toral letter he. has proclaimed as follows:
'On Sunday next, or any day more appro-
pirate for that purpose, before the 9Th day of
November, each pastor shall receive donations
either by collection in the church. or by vista
ton, as might be considered most proper. And
according to the power vested in us, we grant
ahsolation for forty days to any one, who from
zeal for the holy Catholic unity, and for the en-
bellishment of the house of God, and to the hon
or Of the holy St. Joseph, will contribute one
shilling or moro.
For tho exceedingly moderate sum of one
shilling, friends and fellow sinners, you NAV Sc
