New York. June Is, 1s92.-Most Holy
Father: The apostolic letter which your
holiness designed to write us, the pastors Of
the ecclesiastical province of New York, has
been joyfully received and most will
lngly accepted. For it and the re-
script published in the controversy
proposed by the most reverend archbishop of
st. Paul. we return your holiness our best
thanks With all our strength we always ell
deavor to remove discussion among the pas
tors, and keep inviolate the bonds of char
for no ,iriftt o1
welfare of the faithful. and to foster and
increase union with the apostolic see.
Nor do we deem that we have failed
in this, the greatest of pastoral duties. by
= opening our mind 10 your Holiness. as we
are induced to do, not in a spirit of strife,
but through deep sence of our pastoral Of
flee. Nor did we suppose i'll like manner at
our letter would suggest even the slightest
doubt of our obedience to the see
of st. Peter. both because we acted
simply in the discharge of our duty, as also
because it is well known that we have al
ways fully and cheerfuliy obeyed the order
and advice of your holiness. Carrying out
the wish of your holiness, with united coun-
vide for the proper instruction of Catholic
youths attending public schools, but least
there be any suspicion that thus far our
Episcopal solicitude has not extended itself
IN that direction, we beg to inform your
holiness that in the entire ecclesiastical
province of New York, Sunday schools have
been established which. after complying
with the precept of hearing mass. the boys
and girls attending public schools are taught
their catechism. Meanwhile, PROSTATE at
the feet of your holiness, we again profess
our obedience TO your holiness and beg the
apostolic benediction.
The archbishop is perfectly willing to
stand by the letter and the spirit of the
epistle to the people, and trusts that his
friends will wait with patience until
next November. when the whole matter
will be settled by the propaganda i'll
