From the address Of the Bishop Of Autun responsive to
this declaration will quote but briefly eyes,
you represent here the National Assembly Catholic
Deputies arc the head and the heart of it, and It so Is,
despite Of all our social apOstacies OF all revolutions,
of all our msfortunes that after ALL the truly French
Assembly can but be Christian and Catholic. Blessed
b ye for thus raising up again the flag Of the old faith
Of our fathers Many times since you are assembled at
Versailles you have asked pardon Of God for the crimes
OF France. Many times you have made dneRde honor
able to the Sacred Heart Of Jesus for our long IN
.,ratitudes heapcd up above all in the last 50
years or modern predecessors tIaneyrandJ IN
this glorious Iof Autunl had the misfortune to
beray the Church and become the man of the ReyOlu
ton Divine heart Of Jesus, pardon pardon for that
guilty bishop" 1t may may not seem strange to you

reporters Of the Paray and other pilgrimages the
returned deputies repc with impatient warmth with an
almost suspciousy peppery heat, the charge sometimes
brought by the worldly minded that the performances
have in them notable political quality. But to present
some hostile aud friendly explanations Of what they
and mcan and follow the French Religious Movement

festatons must into next week and another letter
