such a method is certainly without fault.
But let those who undertake such minis

From this disregard of the evangelical
virtues, erroneous.y styled PASSIVE. the
step was short one to q contempt of the
religious life which has In some degree
taken hold of minds. That such value
is generally had by the upholders of new
views, we infer from certain statements
concerning the vows which religious or
ders take. They say vows are alien to
the spirit of our times, in that they limit
the bonds of human liberty; that they are
more suitable to weak than to strong
minds; that SO far from making for hui
man perfection and the good Of human or
ganization, they are hurtful TO both, but
that this is as false as possible from
the practice and the doctrine of the
church is clear since she has always Civ
en- the very highest approval to the relig-
ious method of life; nor without good
cause or those who under the divine call
have freely embraced that state of life
did not content themselves with the OBJ
servance of precePts, but going forward
to the evangelical counsdls, showed them
selves ready and valiant soldiers Of
Christ Shall we judge this to be a char
acteristic of weak minds, or shall we say
that it is useless or hurtful to a more
perfect state of life?
Those who so bind themselves by the
vows of religion, far from having suffer-
ed a loss of liberty, enjoy fuller and freer
kind, that liberty. namely, by which
Christ hath made US free. And this fur
ther view of theirs, namely, that the re-
ltgious life is entirely useless or of little
service to the church besides being injur-
ious to the religious orders cannot be the
opinion of any one who has read the
ANNALS OF THE CHURCH.

lately, a thing greatly to your praise, you
have decreed that a statute be publicly
erected. And even at the present time,
wherever the religious families are found,
how speedy and yet how fruitful a har-
vest of good works do they not bring
forth How very many leave home and
seek strange lands to impart the truth Of
the gospel and to widen the bounds Of
civilization; and this they do with the
greatest cheerfuAness amid manifold dan
gersi Out of their number not less, in
deed, than from the rest OF the clergy, the
Christian world finds the preachers Of
Gods word, the directors Of consciences
the teachers of youth and the church it
self the examples of all sanctity.
Nor should any difference Of praise be
made between those who follow the act
i've state of life from these others who
charmed with solitude, give themselves to
prayer and bodily modification. And how
much, indeed, of good report these have
merited. and do merit, is known surely
to an who do not forget that the contin-
ual prayers of the just man avails to pla-
cate and TO bring down the blessings of
heaven when to such prayers bodily NOR
t.fication $ added.
But If there be those who prefer 10 form
one body without the obligation of the
vows, let them pursue such a course. Il
is not new in the church nor in any wise
censurabe Let them be careful, how
ever, not to set forth such state above
that of religious orders. But rather,
since mankind are more disposed at the
present time to indulge themselves in
pleasures, let those be held in greater es-

Finally, not to delay too long, it is

to note that it is not the part OF prudence

tueis there any one at all endowed
simply with an outfit of natural vir-
tue? Is there any one not tried by
mental anxiety, and this in no light de-
gree? Yet ever to master such, as also
to preserve in its entirety the law of
the natural order requires an assist
ance from on high. These single not
able acts to which we have alluded will
frequently upon closer investigation
be found to exhibit the appearance
rather than the reality of virtue. Grant
that it is virtue, unless we would run
in vain" and be unmindful of that eter-
nal bliss which good God in his
mercy has destined for us, of what
avail are natural virtues unless sec
onded by the gift of divine grace?
Hence st. Augustine well says: Won
derful is the strength, and swift the
course, but outside the true path" For
as the nature of man, owing to the
primal fault, is inclined to evil and dis
honor, yet by the help of grace is
raised up, is borne along with a new
greatness and strength, so, too, virtue,
which is not the product of nature
alone, but of grace also, is made fruit

This over esteem of natural virtue
finds method of expression in assum-

passive and it is alleged that whereas
passive virtues found better place in
