THE MIGRATION or NATIONS.
After speaking Of tho groat Influence OF tho
Bishops tho memorial says: upon this ques-
ton depends tho solution Of the greatest proc
lem Of the present times-ihe problem OF the
migration Of neiions. First, the salvation oil
toui is herein concerned. Bishops VINO are
strangers TO the spirit, character, habits,
and customs Of other nntiOns cannot
iu the required measure, despite their virtues,
knowledge, ani zenl appreciate and onectunuy
attend 10 the wants Of thOae nations. Again the
harmony aud concord between tho different ma
tonalities are affected by this question. II the
Cpi-copate be handed over almost exclusively 10
one single nationality 90 tho dctrimcnt OF the
others a feeling Of uneaslness. Of general disc0n-
tent ~ created among these last, feenug Nhlch

Crcl right and interest belonging TO these saino

HARMONY ESSENTIAL.
Tho want Of justice Is NJ pressing "a the want
81 bread. IL II desired thHt concord ana harmony
should reign among the different nations that 40

Nothing " more desirable, nothing more essen

s. O. give 80 every one 81 these nations bishops

Copal body Just a. those nations are represented

EPISCOPAL REPRESENTATIVES,
AS the diocescs are formed Of Catholics Of diff

handing the division Of these diocescs according

Soc is that bishops Of the different nations viii

nations will be represented by some OF their own
