IT is much to be deplored when people
OF high social station and who move in tt
circles of progressive thought become
involved in nauseous scandal such as
seems about to euoircls the names OF some
distinguished Englishmen. Revolving
stories such as those which Lord Cole
ridges son hints at In eonne lion with
charges against Mr.. Adams, who was
bstrothed to his sister, inevitably tend to
loosen the moral strings of many who are
ever too anxious to follow titled fashion in |
its wrong doing.
The plenary council of the Catholic |
church, now in session In Baltimore, pro |
poses to consider the question of vesting
the property holdings of the church In the |
bishops Of their respective dioceses The |
plan Is to turn over to each bishop all the |
church property In his diocese, the same |
to be held in trust and willed to his sue
cessor /; the name of the legatee to be left |
blank, and to be filled in when the suc
osssor is appointed. This is the way in
which church property is held IN the
Catholic dioceses of Philadelphia and
Harrisburg, in the latter of which Lancaster
is situated. While 1t has its advantages
in concentrating large amounts of property
In the bands of one person TO be welded
for the benefit of whole religious orgaui
cation, It sometimes happens that the
clerical trustee lacks executive ability and
then an insxtricsble jumble must follow.
1t would seem to be the safer system to
vest the real estate of church in board
OF lay trustees, of which the parish
olergym man might be, by virtue of mis- office,
president. The doctrine of Capitalization
is not the best even in church affairs,
unless necessity urges and that necessity
seems to have not yet arisen.
