churches in this city yesterday, the occasion
being the seventh centenary Of St Francis
of Assist The pope laments the death Of
Christian virtues in the nineteenth century,
and says the greater part of men to-day are

travagant in their own goods, are greedy
after those of their neighbors. They extol
the name of the fraternity of mankind,
but talk more fraternaly than they
act The votaries Of rationalsm en-
courage violence and sedition among the
people, provoke agrarian disturbances, fiat
ter the appetites of the lower classes, and by
these means and others serve to weaken the
foundations of domestic life and public order,
instead of strengthening them by lives Of
probity and manhood. The letter goes on to
recommend that franciscan institutions be
more widely spread among the laity as par
tial remedy against the rapidly spreading evil
