new Church in the 9th district is fairly un
der way, and may be expected to be push
ed forward with great dispatch. The pro-
gressive citizens of that quarter, and the
energetic order that has the church in hand
will not lose time unnecessarily. Property
holders of that region are of a very intelli-
gent kind. TLey- know full well ,fshat the
best and most reliable class of ci3zens will
not willingly settle and build id a neigh
borhood where the church is difiSnt of ac-
cess. But let fine large churchYs erect
ed, or even a nice small one, AID i'm
mediately the tide of population sts thith-
erward. The attractions of bird streets,
high ground, noble trees and beaS dfal gar
dens, which before were unhe bed, now
come to be suddenly appreciateS
We must add in this connecti3l that in
preparing the foundation of the Hw build
ing, great and valuable assistanct was gen.
erousfy rendered by the stPro1seoru Fire
Company of the 9th district, I'M aping the

the thanks of the whole congntion for
their kindness. That water We lot pump

Legitimate. And yet there are persons in
every community who, II : priest should,
under any circumstances, have turkey
for dinner, or at the same meal should in
dnlge in q glass Of wine, at once cry on,
against such unbecoming dissipation
The idea Of such persons is that O
priest is something extraordinary, that
he is without the pale of the world,
and that, consequently, he should not live
in any respect as do the +" citizens of the
world" Another objection made by those
self-constituted censors is that q priest
never has money which is properly his
own, that all he possesses is merely the
gift of his practitioners, that he is q mere
trustee, and is accountable to his religious
cestui que trusts for the manner in which he
administers the trust reposed in him that
anything expended for any other purpose
than for the necessary use of the Church is
an improper conversion.
Our readers will find it to be an unex-
eeptional rule that he, who is always 50
rigid in his sxactions Of the clergy, is HIM
self given in no small degree to dissipatioi
In more forms than one; that he who il
continually expressing his anxiety about tie
manner in which this priest or that prizes
is spending money, has never yet cor
tributed dollar to the fund which }]e I
alleges is being improperly used.

modern days. "When I give Twill give
20 the poor" he replies when AIDED to con-
tribute towards any work of tie Church.
Such is his plausible excuse under the
,retence of being charitable b. keeps IN his

THE "DAILY TELEGRAPH" ON PAPAL
FREEDoM.-While the London Times has
INDUCED in an article favored with per-
sonal animosity against Mr.. Gladstone for
considering the independence of the
Pope " to be a matter that justly concerns
the Government of some 100000 of Brit
ish Catholics, the Daily Telegraph has taken
far broader and juster view of the ques-
ton. In a recent leader it tells us:
= With respect to the Pope, the intense
fanaticfsm of extreme Professionals would
overpower the common feeling of generos-
ity. If he were an Indian prince who wor-
shipped Budha or practiced polygamy, or if
he were familiar with the filthy sensuality
of the harem, it would not matter 80 much.
The idolator or Mussulman might be toler.
ated, but the Bishop of Rome is guilty of
an incapable offence. 1t lie idle to reason
q pitch Of fury against the head of the
Roman Church we need only point out
that they would exclude him from the
benefit Of rules which apply to all the rest
of the world. Happily, however, this Bit
ter feeling is far less prevalent now than it
our fellow-subjects acknowledge Plus TX.
az the head of the Church. Have they not
their rights, as we'll as every other class of
the community Protestants may bewail
the benlghted Popish Ignorance which rem
ders allegiance to the Bishop of Rome, but
Prime Minister, in his public capacity, is
not an arbiter in religious controversies.
Plainly, it 10 his duty to maintain, to the
utmost Of his power, the rights of every
portion of the people without distinction.
Mr.. Gladstone, in his letter to Mr.. Dease,
lays down the principle that the Pope's
4" psrsonal freedom and independence, in
the discharge of his spiritual functions" is
a legitimate subject for the cognizance of
the Government That duty may be strictly
observed, though every one of the individ-
uals who compose the Executive is strongly
opposed to Roman Catholicism. Our In
dian Government upholds the rights of its
Hindoo and Mussufman subjects, and, SO
far as can be done without invasion of
moral law, protects them in the practice of
their religion. Does it follow that the
Governor General or his Council have idol
atrous or, Mussulman proclivities I? In
modern times it has become simply imprac-
ticable to carry on the Government of this
great Empire upon any method of religious
exclusiveness. The asylum to the Pope
happily has not been needed, but in offer
ing it Mr.. Gladstone strictly observed the
ancient constitutional laws of hospitality
and respect for the religious freedom of the
entire nation.

This festival, lately raised so much irr
Importance by the action Of the Pope ID
placing the whole Church under the
patronage of St. Joseph, was observed
in New Orleans with great devotion
last Sunday. Novenas in his honor
were terminated on that day, and his
affairs were decorated with the loveiiest
flowers that spring brings forth IN this pro-
life climate. Sermons were preached In
his praise everywhere, and his virtues set
as an example before the people in man
ner never seen except in the devotion to
his Blessed Spouse.
The history of this saint, and the Popu-
lar devotion to him are, according to the
ideas of the world, quite incomprehensible.
People ask what did he ever dot Did he
work miracles like Peteri Did he convert
nations like Paul. Yet throughout the
whole world, in almost every church or
chapel where there is room for two side
affairs, one of them is dedicated to st.
Joseph. In different countries and locali-
ties, certain saints are held in special ven
Grafton, but St. Joseph is honored every
where and next to tue Blessed Mother.
People who have never reflected much on
spiritual matters are surprised at this.
They would expect the popular homage to
seek some famous hero of the Church, some
renowned scholar like Augustine, some
mighty apostle like Xavier, some glorious
martyr like Laurence. It is 80 in the world.
Secular enthusiasm has no carpenter for its
hero, but looks for an Alexander, Caesar
or Napoleon. Bnt we must remember
that the world is blinded by the glitter of
while the devout Christian is
guided by the spirit of God in all truth
and wisdom.
st. Joseph worked no miracles, for he
was not called on to do it.; he did not
preach to men, for lie was not chosen for
that, but he did what was set before him,
and did it perfectly. In doing this he was
not brought conspicuously before the eyes
Of men, no crowds followed his steps and
hung upon the eloquence OF his lips. In
secret and in silence he worked at the task
appointed to him, with God as almost his
'nly witness. Descended of an illustrious
md royal line, and endowed with wonder.
ul wisdom, he might we'll have aspired to
! career of public display and authority,
'ut his whole being was one act of obedi- |
nee and love. Not that he was unworthy |
he admiration of men, but he cared not
or it; not that he had no ability for the
rand affairs of life, but he knew that what
e had to do was really more delicate and
xalted function than any other which man
ould fill on this earth.

AS not been able to hide him from the
yes of the Church, and now, as it has
zen in ages past and shall be to the end,
It. Joseph is held up before all as perfect
model of the spouse, the father, the pru-
lent director, and the faithful Christian. !
Sot according to the brilliancy of his |
ctions, but according to the greatness of |
lis love, he is judged both in Heaven and |
N earth.
