EDITOR HERALD-As the right rev.
ereud bishop IS IL the northern part OF
this peninsula for the purpose OF dedi-
eating two new churches and admins
terIng the sacrament of confirmation,
i, a priest of st. Andrews cathedral,
deem 1t my duty to make short reply
TO a communication signed Board OF
directors of the 4. o. III. IF this city,"
a. the morning papers reported 1t.
They wish TO Justify themselves IN
regard to holding their fair or bazaar,
but waive the question OF giving the al
legged history and grievances of their
DIVISION, and thus practically conclude:
that, considering themselves "as a
purely business organization" they
may do as they like. NJ matter what
the laws of the church may be. In the
same breath they state, IN the most en-
phatic manner, that their action is not
caused by dlsrespect 10 the bishop and
the church whose laws he is IN con-
science bound to enforce, the same as
they, always pretending to be loyal
Catholics, are obliged to obey.
Neither their so-called ignorance Of
the law nor the absence of timely
warning, as they claim, nor even the
"purely business ociation" can white
wash their present course of action in
the eyes of the public. 1t Is not ignor-
snce, for this matter has been before
them a number OF years; these very
men have been called to order for al
most the same thing some years ago;
nay more, whilst they complain of not
having been warned IN time, some of
their anonymous correspondents men
ton that they threw out hints TO the
bishop IN the papers to provoke state
ment. Why throw out hints II in their
ignorance of the law they thought
their conduct wac blameless? That GER
tainly was not bona fide course. But
they were warned, and their constant
uneasiness ever since, is sufficient proof
to the public for iI.
Now, can a purely business associa-
ton whose members pretend to be
Catholics, set aside and openly disobey
the laws and regulations of the church?
No, for such laws bind every individ-
ual Catholic, and no association can
shleld him or excuse him from obey
ing. Forblddng fair or bazaar COM
ing from the proper ecclesiastical au-
thority IS like forbIdding the use Of
fresh-meats on Fridays. Therefore, |
cay: If a business association consls-
ting of Catholics could hold a bazaar.
the laws of the diocese forbiddlng It,
the members of such a society might
also, for the same reasons, give a dinner
with flesh-meats on Friday, and after
wards bring the same flimsy excuses.
For the rest, the position of any faith
full Catholic is SO clear in the matter.
that no reasonable doubts can arise in
regard to MS conduct.

The Rev. S. II. Cobb. the newly elect
ed president OF the Ministers confer
ence. spoke yesterday before the minis
ters, and gave the inference . shak-
ing up that ls expected 10 result IN a
reluvlnatlon of an institution which
has been on the decline tor some time.
Mr.. Cobb called attention 10 tue his
tory of the conference, and pointed
out what ne considers the reasons for
lie decline. Mr.. Cobb said the confer
ence WAS designed Is al institution
where the ministers cou meet for mu-
tual helpfulness, not 60 discuss the II
tnodoxy of each other. While the
minister Was TO use ms pulpit 10 intia-
ence the public, the conference was
designed as molder OF preachers
opinion. The conftrenc wac not an
annex 10 the state legislature; neither
was il subsidiary 10 the police force.
He did not think IL well for the con-
ference. as body, to attempt TO make
public utterances. The attempt OF the
organization as a conference 10 compel
Sunday observance had hurt II, and
had aided IN the decline. tie gave NE
idea of the kind of subjects that
should be discussed by the conference,
and announced his desire TO build il
up and make It what il should be, a
place for ministers TO meet and receive
aid from each other.
The matter was well discussed, show
ing great unanlmlty IN the minds If
those present as 10 what should be
done IN the future.
