We come now to the last two wounds, and
they are worldly policy and superstitious
piety." Worldly policy, for the information of
those who are not acquainted with the mean

turtles by $50, Popes, amongst which were
many saints; by $50 bishops who, in the year
1862, declared the imperions necessity of it,
and who repeated their belief of it in 1867 and
in 1870. You will understand that the au-
thority Of all these bishops, with the Pope at
their head. is worth more than that of an
apostate priest. If any reasons were wanting
in favor Of the Temporal Power, those would
be sufficient which are submitted to us every
day by the enemies of the Church, and he is

practices, and the Excessive worship given to
the Saints and to the Blessed Virgin" it is
strange to hear it spoken against by a son of
st. Teresa, who has consecrated himself to the
perpetual worship of her, wIo after Jesus
Christ is our first and sweetest hope.
All! the five wounds! / will tell you what
they are the first is pride, which out of the

tion of the heart. which rejects the sweet yoke
of the Gospel; the third is bad friends who
encourage You to remain in your present evil
way of life and to persist in it; the fourth is
the excessive esteem Of the world and its futile
and lying applause; the last wound and the
cursed principles of the French Revolution
which you have sucked in from your birth,
and from which neither the imposition of
hands nor the sacred JUNCTION will avail to free
you.
Lifepasses away quickly, dear Mr.. Loyson, and
the world all passes away, also, "but the truth
of the Lord eudureth for ever" Mediate upon
it; that hour will sound for you, and it may
not be very distant, in which we shall be alone
with God our Judge. Your ordination, your
solemn vows, will be with you at that tremen-
dous hour. Mediate upon it before it arrives.
