Churches in what | may say or do within
the pale OF Catholicism. For that matter,
| have never deemed that the Christian
Communions that have been separated
from Rome have been disinherited of the
Holy Ghost, and without a part III the
infinite work of the preparation for the
Kingdom OF God. In my relations with
some of the most pious and the most
learned OF their members, [ have expert
enced in the very depths of my soul that
unutterable blessing of the communion Of
saints. Whatever may divide US exter-
nally IN space or In time, vauishes like a
dream IN the presence of that which
nnites US within-the grace of the same
God, the blood of the same cross, the
Host of the same Trinity whatever be
our prejudices, yet under the eye God
who seeth every hidden thing, who gives
His hand which is leading us, we are Ia
boring all in common for the uphuiiding
of that Church of the future which shall
be the church Of the past in its purity
and its original beauty. In the days of
his captivity the word Of the Lord came
to Ezekiel and said to him, Take a stick
and write thereon For Judea and for the
children Of Israel, his tenants; and take
another stick and write thereon For JOS
eph also a stick for Ephraim and for all
the house of Israeli his tenapts. Then
thou shall join them one to the other, and
they shall form but one stick, and they
shall be united in thy hand" The Lord
hath then put in my hands two branches,
Rome and the children OF others. l have
pressed them together to my heart, and
under the %outpouring of my tears and my
prayers | have so joined them that they
shall be hencefort but one tree. Men
have dared to scorn my efforts, seemingly
so, and they ask of me, as they have ask
ed Of the seer of olden times, CIVIL you
not tell US what then that you would do?"
And | look upon that tree that seems still
torn and mutilated, and already [ behold
the brilliant flower and the savory fruit,
one God, one faith, one baptism, and
there shall be one fold and one shepherd.
