I In the Dominion house on the 9th, Sir John
Macdonald said:
No conhrmatory information has been re-

parsonage and gave the preacher and
his wife a Tremendous pounding
but it was one of those kind that does
not hurt. A very pleasant evening was
spent in way of speech making, So
cial conversation and prayer after
which the people retired. 1t would be
impossible for me to enumerate the
many packages and bundles brought
suffice it to say, that the preacher will
not have any sugar to buy tor six months
and it was not all sugar either. Just
before conference the ladies presented
Mrs. Reese with three very pretty
quilts; about the same time, the pastor
was presented with very fine overcoat
So you see preachers are well cared fol

Science and the Catbolic Cburcb.

Had there been more study of physical
science among orthodox Christians during
the last three centuries, the cholera would
not have carried off eighty thousand per-
Sons i'll Spain this year, nor would the COM
paratively small city of Montreal in Canada
have had to bury smallpox victims this
summer at the rate of two hundred a week.
The reverend father holds that the Church
is now resping the reward of its disdain of
science, in its loss of influence over large
classes that once were embraced in its
obedience. All this, Dr. Barry says, must
be remedied. Science is the common
ground" on which the Church can
meet its adversaries, and there it
must meet them. 1T is our
duty to proclaim that we are not afraid
OF any argument or any assemblage of
facts; but that we insist on giving its
weight to every part of the evidence"
Of course, the learned doctor, like the
valiant fighter that he seems to be, hopes
to overcome his adversaries With that
we are not concerned what we note with
pleasure is, that such strong ground should
be taken up by eminent theologians of the
most conservative communion in Christen-
dom, in favor of bold and thorough ex-
ploration of the scientific field In so far
as they approach modern scientific theories
in critical spirit, they will do only good,
and may, if they come with the requisite
preparation, do a great deal Of good.
Neither Science nor Philosophy has vet
spoken its last word and all true men of
science will be thankful for any help they
may get toward throwing aside their errors
and rising to fuller and clearer perceptions
of the truth.-["A Catholic on Catholic
Blunders, in Popular Science Monthly.
