OF the old church. Ono of the most re
markable proofs of its divine origin is th
fact OF its remarkable propagation. As
was 10 the first century, SO it remains to
day, and this is proof Of its being
GRATED on THE VINE

IN later centuries, but none Of them have

we remember the work she has done and the

apostles went TO Rome did they

Christ? No! They said lie alone shall rule
and all others shall fall do IA beneath him!
They preached sweet mercy in the very

fui propagation of the church can be ac-

but Gibbon, as well as others, have only
reached effects in their searches after causes
The zeal of the early christians in leading
them to martyr lOm, their marvellou. unity,
their perseverance, here are the causes, say
some. These caused, if you please, the
propagation of the christian church, but
what caused the causes? The early Catho-

and We saw Him aliye and we are willing
to lay down our lives in defense of the fact
Whence came their morality? There is the
cause. Five causes secretly fed it. Five
rivers which lead to a mountain and on it's
top center is spring of the five wounds of

authority. convert single nation? Why

is in the old church which goes out into the
wilderness, plants its cross everywhere, and
shows the results of divine benedic tion?
Because there is
ILLECITIMATE BLOOD
in the veins of one, and the pure old apos.

be accounted for, save on divine principles.
1t has stood through nges. 1t is alive to-
day in Germany with a martyr spirit; in

is willing to shed it. Oh, glorious church,

Let us do the apostolic work of propagation
But how shall We most aid the church Of
God Not by your wealth, not by your
eloquenoe, but by honesty: chastity, charity
and mercy; by abiding in the vine, which
is Jesus Christ. 1t is thus that we, who
are only the branches, will receive the sap
that he sends, and through US produce the
fruit to His holy name.

WHY THE ARcHpIsHoPRIc is CREATED.
To Our Most Rev. Father, John ii. HenDi,
Bishop Of Milwaukee,:
POPE Plus TX.
In future memory Of the event. The
Office Of the Sovereign Ponti6cate, which
in the Church cf God we exercise, demands
that those thing. should be done by US in
good time which seems Of very great ad-
vantage to il. Since, therefore,it has been
related to us that the province of st. Louis.
in the United States of North America, is
of very wide extent,an that in it the num-
Der of Catholics aod of eriscopal sees has
so lar increased hat it would be to the great
advantage of the Christisn cause if the
same province were divided into two.
Having called together our venerable breth-
ren. tho cardinals of the Holy Roman
Church placed 10 charge Of the affairs oi
the propagation Of the faith, we haye dill.
gently and at.entiyely considered the disi
sion Of the above named province, aud,
moved by the reason brought forward, We
have thought proper to come to it. Thii
being the case, with the advice Of cur salt
