Here Father Bailly paused, but observing that l
showed signs Of nagging attention, he con-
kinued presently his discourse as follows:-
MEANING OF THE PILGRIMAGEs.
'The fine and imposing manifestation OF the
Month OF Pilgrmages must not be confined to these
holy excursions. Evidently no intention Of
giving the faithful a little country air and rural
Amusement by cheap trans.) 1t must be an act Of
piety and OF faith. 1t must call upon Heaven to

rise up to it from the very heart of France. This
manifestation will take place. therefore, In those

CONSIDERATION or FRANCE TO THE VIRGIN.
Upon Sunday, the nth OF August, and upon
Thursday, the 2lst of August, there will be new
pilgrimage to every shrine, and France will be SOL
emnly c0nsecrated to the Virgin Mary"
THE P0PE's OPINION OF THE BUSINESS.
The Holy Father has expressed his entire ap-
prova OF this vast project. He has blessed 1t with
paternal tenderness. He has deigned TO accord
to each faithful pilgrim his most rich indulgence.

UNIVERSAL PRAYER.
Finally, upon the demand OF the Society OF Plus,
1T Rome joined to that of the Council General Of
