/ letter to the clergy and laity of their

/ siderable attention. 1t read as fol-

Catholic Church III America had resolved to
declare itself opposed to intemperance and
ged their shoulders when they read the
above paragraph, and declared that they
did not believe it would have any percepti-

OF the church. The matter was not so
thoroughly brought out before several con-
gregations by the priests as it will beshould
the DEGREES, which were forwarded to
