Why, good ueighbor, the doctrine of In

has ever doubted that this divine power
was vested in the Church somewhere, aud,
if any where, it contained the same element
of antagonism with temporal authority that
it does now, if any such antagonism exists.
But what does history say to justify the vir-

Does it not show that Catholics have always

tor Rev. Louis vally.-Thirty-four were con-
frmed, of whom three were converts.
The Bishop preached five successive even
ings, the Infallibility of the Pope; the actual
evils of society, and their progress; and their
only remedy the irfallible teaching of the
Church, and the grace conveyed by her sacra-
ments.
The number of the audience and tho atten-
ton with which they listened, and the interest
that many of them expressed afterwards, are
strong indications that they feel deeply con-
cerned in theae matters are we'll disposed to
give their close attention to the great truths
of religion, when laid before them with cor
tainty and authority in the name of the living
Church of Christ.
Meridian, at the close of the W ar had scarcely
thirty Catholics. There are now moro than
two hundred. The lot for the church and tho
pastors house was donated by the Mobile and
Ohio Railroad Company. There is q handsome
wooden church, surmounted by q steepls ter
minating in the sign of the Christians hope.
