A ~Soul-StirrinG Suit.


Nearly everything Is called in ques.
ton In these days Of free inquiry. A
man In Australia recently died, leaving
81, 900 to be expended In masses to be
said for the deliverauos of his soul
from ~purgatory. Ordinarily such
directions r followed, whatever may
be thought Of their wisdom. But In
this case the executor refused to pay
over the money to the church until 1t
was legally proved that there was such
a place as spurgatory, and that the
priests were really able to deliver
souls from 1t by saying masses, The
case Is therefore to be tried In the
secular courts, when some interesting
developments may be expected.
