small house, this being necessary to
the growth Of the work and to ac-
commodate other young men who will
shortly be here to engage in the ms

Brother Gilbert, superior of the or
der of the Brothers of Nazareth, is
expected to visit Scranton shortly after
Easter, when he will speak on the
consecrated lives, and the work these
brethren are doing on Priory Farm in
Burbank, N. Y. The time and place
will be announced later 1t is hoped
that interest will be aroused in this
work which has so long been the de-
sire of many to see established in
Scranton or vicinity.
Bishop Talbot will be in Scranton
on the first Sunday after Easter, Low
Sunday, when he will administer the
sacrament of confirmation at ST.
Luke's and st. David's and the Church
of the Good Shepherd. This will be

to this part of the diocese.
Rt. Rev. NJ. J. Hcban, coadjutcr
bishop of this diocese, delivered the
sermon at the conservation of Bishop
FitZmaurice in Philadelphia Thursday
morning. 1t was a scholarly and elo-
quent effort. After referring to the
apostolic succession Of the episcopacy,
the necessity for unity in the church,
under head in whom supreme power
would be vested, the preacher said, ad-
dressing Bishop Fitzmaurice:
And now, Rt. Rev. Father in God and
brother in Christ, to you has come a
message from the mother and mistress
of all churches and from him who occu-
pies therein the chair of Peter. The
Vicar of Christ has called you to be
successor OF tTc Apostles, TO commune
the mission for which the Son of God
called them. The chief shepherd of
ChriSt'S fold on earth has assigned to
| your care a portion of his flock. BY the
! imposition of the hands of our most
worthy Metropolitan you attain to the
summit of the priesthood and receive
| the plenitude of priestly power That
power is to be exercised in this free and
glorious country of ours. where no royal
eXequatur is needed to permit Gods mes
| senger to enter on his mission, where
| the people rule ard where, therefore, it
is douby necessary that they should be
| virtuous. There is no foundation for
virtue but in religion, and the only relig-
| ion that can govern the people is a re-
| ligion that is exempted from popular con-
| troll, that came not by men nor from
| men, but by Jesus Christ-the religion of
| the infallible Church of God.
| Go forth, then, to your fold and faith
! fully and Loyalty assist the venerable
| shepherd, who now lies helpless in his
| cathedral city by the inland sea. Like
a younger Tobias. bring cheer and COM
| fort to that aged patriarch, who never
wearied in weldoing till the shepherd s
crook fell from his palsied hand.
Feed the flock of God which is among
you taking care of it, not by constraint,
! but willingly, according to God; not for
! filthy lucre's sake, but voluntarily; neith-
| er as lording it over the clergy, but be-
! ii
the heart and when the Prince of Pas
| tors shall appear you shall receive a
never fading crown of glory.
