NIosr ILLusTRIous AND REVEREND SIR:
1t has pleased your grace to submit
to tho judgment OF the Holy Sec the
arrangement you deemed well to make
for elementary schools at Fairibaalt and
Saltwater, Mimi, in your diocese, in
order to provide in the best manner
possible for the spiritual welfare OF the
children conGded to your pastoral care.
This, wise resolution OF your grace
seemed all tho moro prudent becaus Q
the aforesaid arrangement, even though
it regarded only separate and cxcep.
tional cases, still appeared TO many OF
tho bishops, to the members OF the
lower clergy md lower laity ns hardly
worthy of-approval, may be because
they were not as we'll acquainted with
the circumstances and conditions OF
the transaction as they ought to have
been III order to have been ablo to pro.
nounco thereon q fair opinion.
For that reason his holiness confded
the examination OF this important ques-
ton to committee OF cardinals chosen
from the sacred congregation of the
propaganda. In meeting held on the
2lst instant, after weighing carefully
tho grave reasons adduced by your
grace with so much clearness, which in
duced you to enter into the arrangement
mentioned above, and considering the
declarations, worthy OF every praise,
which shows that in tho matter OF edu.
cation your grace has always wished to
maintain inviolate the principles set
forth by the holy see, and commended
to the observance OF the bishops by the
councils OF Baltimore, particularly the
third council, their cmincnces gave
their decision on the question SUBJ
mitted to them rs it is found in the ac-
companying document, and his <holi-
ness has ratified and approves the
BY order OF his holiness, and with
great pleasure TO- myse!f,EI must not
fail to iniorm7sYSeur;:gsace-that your cx-
pressions Of respect, iilial obedience and
unalterable adherence to the holy see
and its teachings, OF which You have
given splendid proofs, have been most
acceptable to the sovereign pontif and
myself and have strengthened the full
confidence OF the holy see i'll your Wis
dom and piety. 81; 4, Z, TX, -fs,,,s Z.
FINALLY pray that God may pre-
serve Your grace and protectyou always.
