which the desired end may be attained !:

CATHOLIC CREEDS.
Peculiar Pastoral Letter Issued by
the Provincial Council.


The Catholic Provincial Council, which met
ia Cincinnati recently, prepared lengthy pas

It is very outspoken on the subject of labor
unions. 1t says mans labor Is his own, as
much as the gold of the rich man, and he has
q right to sell as he pleases at fair price, and,
80 long as men accede to others the same free
dom they claim for themselves, there Is no sin
in labor banding together for self-protection,
but labor unions are liable to fail, and can't be
sustained. When they attempt to force man
to join union, or to work for price fixed by
a union Catholics cannot be partners in any
attempt to coerce others against their just
rights, nor to do injury to the person or prop
erty OF others

The letter condemns much Of the modern
church music, and saws the Gregorian Chant is
the recognized form. It directs that all music
that savors Of the sensuous and the profane
the theater or the opera, shall be excluded
from chcirs, as also all music that attracts the
attention Of the people from the altar to the
choir.
Much Is said condemnatory OF secret socie-
ties, especially such as have a religious hier-
archy or form Of liturgy.
Revertng to the subject of authority, the
letter says lit Is not Catholic doctrine that
all power comes from the people, and that ru-
ers do not exercise authority as their own, but
as intrusted to them by the people. The Cath
Ole doctrine is that the grant of
power is not given by the people, but
they only designate who is to WELD it.
AS to the priest, the people are commanded to
seek the law from his lips, and in all matters Of
civil life appertaining to faith and morals the
priest has the right to speak and the people are
required TO listen. This doctrine, it is said
may be unpopular with modern liberalism but
that docs not prove II untrue"
