read in all the Catholic churches in Chi

public order and to sustain legitimate
authority. Please, therefore, earnestly
urge your people at the different masses
tomorrow to avoid the occasions and
places of tumult and disorder and not to
be found among those who may excite
to violence and riot. The people Will. I
am sure, listen to the wise counsele Of
their pastors and thus have reason to
congratulate themselves when the pres
emit unfortunate state of things has
passed away.
