CLERICAL SOCIETIES The Bishop of Mar
settles states in q recent Pastoral that he is
happy to be able to testify to the existence Of
fact in his own diocese, which is by no
means singular in that respect, namely, the
tendency of many good priests to form them
selves into clerical societies, varying indeed in
the details of their organization, but all having
similar objects in view; namely, fraternal
union with one another under a superior, and
the adoption of q rule relating to the interior
life, and perfect practice OF the virtues and
duties of the ecclesiastical state. In view of
the fruits of benediotion tn at have flowed from
those holy associations, the Bishop commend4
them to the attention and piety of his clergy.
