THE LAITY.

THE LAITY.
We continue to have great consolation in wit
Messing the advance OF religion throughout the
various Dioceses, shown in tho multiplication and
improved architectural character Of our Churches
the increase of pioty in the various congregations
ana tho humorous conversions Of 30 many who
have SACRIFICED early preiudices and every consde
ration OF their temporal interests and human feel
ings at the shrine of Catholic Truth. We must,
however, in all candor, say that wo cannot include
ell, or indeed the greater part Of those who COM
pose our focks in this testimony to fidelity and
quontly mon otherwise of blamoloss lives, remain
for years estranged from tho sacraments OF Ghe
Church, although they attend tho celebration OF
the divine mysteries, and listen to the preaching
| OF Gods Word with an carnestness and attention
in themselves deserving of oil praise. .
DANCES, PICNIcs, &C.
In this connection, We consider it to bo our duty
which may easily become to them an occasion OF
sin, and especially against those. fashionable
voting to every feeling Of delicacy and propriety
and fraught with the greatest danger to morals.
We would also warn them most soemnly against
the great abuses which have sprung up in tho mat-
tor Of fairs, excursions and pcnics, in which, as
too often conducted, the namo Of charity is made
| to cover up multitude Of sins. We forbid oil
Catholics having anything to do with them, except
Of tho Ordinary, and under tho immediate super
visen-of their RESPECTIVE. pastors.
THE CLERGY.
We exhort our venerable brethren OF the clergy,
who share our cares and responsibilities, to unrc.
mitting zeal in the great work TO which they have
| been called.
THE EMANCpATED SLAVES.
We must all feel, beloved brethren, that in some
| manner n now and most extensive field OF charity
and devotodness has beon opened to us, by the
emancipation of tho immense slave population OF
tho South. We could have wished that, in accord
ance with tho action of tho Catholic Church in past
agos, In regard TO the serfs Of Europe, o moro

measure better prepared to mako better use OF
their freedom than they are likely to do now Still

VoCATIoNS TO THE PRIESTHOOD.
We continue to feel the want of Jealous priests,
in sufficient number to supply the daily increasing
necessities Of our dioceses. While we are gratified
to know that in some parts of our country the
Ecesisastical state is rapidly increasing, wo are
obliged to remark, that in the other parts notwit-
standing all tho efforts and sacrifices which have
enoouragements which have been held out QUIT to
youthful aspirants to the ministry in our rrepara-

The contrast is rather ugly, and yet it il
true. At this rate it takes eighty soldiers
