CHRISTIAN EDUCATION.
Pastoral Letter of Arch bishop Glib
bOns. of baltimore.

A pastoral letter on Christian education
by Archbishop Gibbons was read in most of
the Catholic Churches of this city and
Baltimore yesterday. The letter is ad-
dressed to the clergy and laity of the Arch
diocese of Baltimore, which includes the
District of Columbia, and declares that the
education of youth is the engrossing topic
of our times. The Archbishop recognizes
the importance and advantages of secular
cducation which will instruct the youth of
the country in their civic duties and
rights, and will contribute to make them
enlightened citizens and devoted patriots.
But the Archbishop says our youth cherish
the hope of becoming one day citizens of
Heaven as well as of this land,
and religious and secular education cannot
be divorced from each other without in
ficting fatal wound upon the soul. 1t
does not appear, he says, that vice recedes
in proportion as public education advances
The loss of Catholic faith is another evil
resulting from the separation of a religious
from secular education. The Archbishop
says: "The conclusion is forced upon us
that Catholic parochial schools must be
established and fostercd if we would
preserve the faith of our children. With
out such schools parish is sooner or later
destined to languish and decay. With the
| present generation there is no danger.
| But this generation is passing away, soon
| to be succeeded by anot her, and
| if no provision is made for the Christian
| culture of the rising youth, it Is to be
feared that twenty years hence it will be
| much easier TO find churches for congre.
| CATION than a congregation for our churches.
| Far be il from us to question the sincerity
| or to underrate the zeal of those who are
| the patrons of a purely secular education
| Our complaint is that the system which
| they espouse does not go far enough. We
| want our children to receive an education
| which will make them not only learned,
| but pious. The number of pupils now
attending the parochial schools, colleges
| and academies of the diocese is estimated at
| 1850, besides 1000 children who are
clothed, supported and educated in our
industrial schools and asylums. The
| education of these children, if they were
| trained at the public expense, would cost the
| State upward of $350,000 The number of
| children attending our schools may be con-
| siderably augmented. 1t is our earnest
| wish that every country parish in the do
| cese, consisting of 800 souls or more, within
radius of three miles, should have a
| parish school. The difficulties are not in
| surmountable Pastoral zeal and Catholic
| liberality are inexhaustible We never
| fail in our efforts to build churches, neither
| shall we fail in erecting schools for our
| YOUTH In concluding, the Archbishop
admonishes parents of the imperative obli-
| cation devolving upon them of instructing
| their children at home in the principles of
| Christian piety and he exhorts them also
| to cooperate as far as possible with the
clergy in their efforts to establish and main
| tain Catholic parochial schools.

Not a Rnne. Bur an Insull.

RumOr was rampant in East Washington
Saturday night and Sunday of an alleged
terrible rape, which was stated to have oc-
CURED near the intersection of the old
canal and South Capitol street. lnvestiga-
tion by a CRITIC reporter revealed the fact
that a we(l.known young white lady had
been insulted and pursued by two white
rufllans in that locality, between and z
o'clock Saturday evening, but no outrage
had been committed. Her screams brought
several parties to the rescue, and tho
scamps disappeared in the direction of the
Navy-Yard. The young lady is of very
respectable family, therefore her name is
withheld. Her brothers are looking for
the miscreants, and, if they are found,
woe be unto them"
