The Restoration of Their Leader Does
Not Include Them-Dr. McGlynn Inn
plies That He Made No Apologies in
Order to Get Back Into the Fold.
NEW YoRK, Dec. 26.-Ths return of DIR.
Mc5Iyun to the fold Of the Roman Catholic
church has brought up question as 70
whether those persons who had been ex-
communicated from the church for attend
ing the meetings of the auti-poverty soci-
ety, after having been forbidden to do so by
circular letter to the archbishop of New
York, would be permitted to receive abso-
luton. The question was propounded to
the priests Of many churches by
none of the pastors were willing
20 express an opinion on the subject. Many
of those who have followed the course Of
DR.. McGlynn and permitted themselves
through their love for him to disobey the
mandates of the church have secretly re-
GREETED the matter. The trouble which has
been caused by the death of some of the
anti-poverty society members and the re-
fueal of the church TO permit their bodies
TO be buried in consecreted ground has
caused the friends Of many of those mem
hers TO wish that there might be some re-
Cancellation.
LOOKED INTO BY THE ARCHBISHOP.
A Clergyman well posted on canonical
laws said Saturday that the matter of grant
sng dissolution to such of those who had
been accommodated as might apply for It
had already received the closest attention
from Archbishop Corrigan, and that in due
course of time the matter would be made
the subject of special circular to be issued
In the archdiocese.
A reporter called at the episcopal resi-
dence on Madison avenue and submitted
the question to the archbishop. He said:
The answer to your question is very SIM
pie. If twenty people skating on ice hap
pen to break through. and the one who in
vites them TO 20 skating succeeds in escap~
sing from the pond. the others who folio wed
his example are not rescued from the water
because their leader has escaped. II those
who attend the anti-poverty meetings wish
TO obtain ahsolution, let them apply for il in
the proper way and their request will be
granted"
TERMS OF M'GLYNN's PARDON.
The much mooted question as to the terms
on which DR.. McGlynn was restored to his
functions as a priest of the Roman Catholic
church was partially answered last night
by the priests declaration that hs had made
Cooper Union reporter asked him on what
terms he had been restored to the priest
hood.
well, think l said enough about my
self in my lecture" replied the clergyman.
''Win the conditions Of the Cancellation

sourcew was asked
What do you mean by conditionsl" DR..
McGlynn asked with some ssperity.
NO APOLOGIES MADE.
The reporter suggested that apologies or
penances OF some Kind might be required Of
him.
"You haven't seen any apologies, have youi
Well, then. il there are no apologies visi-
BILE even through q microscope, 1t is not
probably that / made any. / have not
heard of any apologies"
DIR. Edward McGlynn will in all proba-
bility be under the Jurisdiction of either
Cardinal Gibbons in Baltimore or Arch
bishop Ireland Of the st. Paul diocese.
There is little likelihood that the restored
priest will be ever stationed in this diocese,
and according to a prominent ecclesiastical
friend of DR.. McGlynn, he has his choice Of
the above two dioceses under consideration,
DR.. McGlynn this morning absolutely de-
clined to discuss the prospective field in
which he expects 60 resume his priestly
