CONSIDERATIONS ON CANON
LAW.

We have seen the necessity of an
pointing a body of consultors whose
duty it is to give advice to the Bishops
on the subjects expressly mentioned by
the law, and on any other matter where
the Bishops wish to relieve themselves
of the responsibility of acting on their
own judgment. Another approximation
to the general law of the Church deals
with the appointment of examiners of
the clergy, whether the examination is
preparatory to the reception or orders.
or is subsequent to their ordination to
the priesthood, and especially for the
competition for the irremovable rector
snip. The Council of Trent was de-
termined that proof should be given nv
all who sought promotion to holy orders
that they had the requisite knowledge
necessary for their position. If this
was necessary, even where MANY
priests are not called to exercise their
ministry for the care of souls. much
more IS such proof needed in a mis-
sionary country. as ours. where every
one ordained to the priesthood is liable
to be at once engaged in the most in
tricate problems connected with the
guidance of souls, as are made known
through the confessional, and in al
most every position to which a priest
is here Immediately assigned after his
ordination. The greater part of the
clergy in this country is at once placed
where the most difficult cases are liable
to be presented to their solution, often
times. too, without much, or, perhaps.
any time to give long consideration for
their decision How different from the
condition in older Catholic countries.
where the clergy is so numerous as not
to require the services of the greater
in the confessional and where
very many priests never have the oc-
casion to hear a single confession!
There special examinations are made
of those who are to be engaged in the
hearing of confessions, and the exercise
of this power is often limited for chill
dren. or for men, and afterward ex-
tended for women. The time also for
the exercise of this power is at first
limited to a couple of years, and then.
after a new examination, prolonged for
another couple of years, till, perhaps, it
is confirmed permanently.
The examiners of the clergy are usu-
ally to be appointed in the diocesan
synod, when their names are submitted
to the clergy, by which they are to be
declared satisfactory and approved. 1t
IS recognized that, where it is practic-
able, the examiners should have the de-
sress in theology or in canon law. which
The Intermountain Catholic. (Salt Lake City [Utah] ;) 1899-1920, 1900-06-02

bear testimony to their learning. or, at
any rate, be easily recognized as fitted
| by their knowledge for the position. If
for any serious reason the appointment
has not taken place in the synod, the
Holy See Will grant the Bishop the
privilege of appointing them, but after
taking the advice of the consultors. Va
cancies occurring are also filled in the
same way outside the synod. Three, at
least. of the examiners must in this
country be present at the examinations
which are made for the obtaining of
| lrremoyable rectorships. The same re-
strlction as to the number OF examin-
ers is not enforced for the other exami-
nations for those who are to be ad-
-mitted to the seminary or to the recep-
ton of holy orders, or even of the junior
clergy. For the first five years the
junior clergy are expected to give proof
of their continued interest in their &C.
clesiastical studies by appearing once
a year before the Synodal Examiners to
answer orally and in writing to ques-
tions on prearranged subjects.
Where this is made basis of future
promotion it cannot fail to be a power
full incentive to continued study on the
part of the younger clergy. The study
of the principles of theological lore will
become much improved by the compar-
ison with the practical applications to
which they must he reduced day by
day. Serious detriment accrues from
resembling from the theoretical prin-
ciples, through what the indolent may
call their appeal to the use of common
sense. Every incentive which leads to
study should be given to the clergy.
The Council of Trent had this in view
when it made serious examination in
theological studies of many kinds the
for the employment of al
most al! the priests here in the care
of souls from the first month of their
ordination it was deemed advisable to
make other arrangements for the
greater oart of parishes. 'The time,
however, is not unlikely to come soon,
when the full prescription of the Coun-
ell of Trent of preliminary eXamina-
ton for the obtaining of any parish
will be enforced.-A Friend of Law, in
New York Freeman's Journal.

NEW YORK CHURCH-GoERS.

About half the population of the Dor

by the New York City Baptist Mission

of the orther denominations are as fol-
lows: First, Episcopal, 121 churches,
$1,000 members; second, Presbyterian,

"In no other American CITY," says
William H. Bearley, corresponding
secretary of the Baptist Mission soci-
ETY., may so large a percentage of the
population be classed as habitual nom
church goers; nowhere else is so large
a proportion of the children out of
the Sunday school. 1 believe the time
will come when the columns of the
secular New York press will be largely
used by the Christian church to sup
plement its effort in trying to reach

o'coNNELHs PRESENCE OF MIND

AS every one knows, Daniel O'COn-
nell. the famous Irish agitatOr, was one
of the braveSt of mortalS. He was be-
sides. possessed of great GOODNESS when
occasion required it's exercise. An in
cident illustrative of this later quality
was recently related by one who wit
messed it. On a certain occasion a
meeting had been convened and a large
crowd assembled on the first floor of a
building in a small city in Ireland.
O'Connell was about to address the
people, when a gentleman, pale with
fear, made his way to the platform and
hoarsely whispered:
''Liberator, the floor is giving way!
The beams that shore it up are crack
ing and we shall all fall through in a
few minutes
Keep silent said o'Connen; then.
raising his voice he addressed the as
sembly:
IT find that the room is too. small to
contain the number who desire to come
in, so we must leave it and hold the
meeting outside the building"
At this few rose and went out, but
the majority retained their seats. Then
O'Connell said:
II will tell you the truth you are
Irishmen. therefore brave men. The
floor is giving way and we must leave
this room at once. If there is a panic
and a rush to the door we shall all be
precipitated into the room below, but if
you obey me we shall be saved. Let the
twelve men nearest the door go quietly
out. then the next twelve and so on
until all have gone. shall be the last
to leave"
His instructions were obeyed to the
Letter and he waited, patient and calm.
till all had gone out in safety. Then he
walked quietly across the sundering.
cracking floor, reaching the door just
as the shattered beams gave way. And
thus by the force of his strong will a
terrible accident was everted.

ALWAYS A woMAN's FAULT.

There is nothing on earth that makes
one more provoked than the tendency
of some persons to lay the blame for
every misfortune that occurs to a man
on the shoulders of his poor wife, who
J has no possible means of retaliation,
but must just simply bear the odium
that does not rightfully rest upon her.
! There is another phase of this question
| equally prone to arouse my indigna-
| ton, and that is when persons assert
| that no man would dare to speak to a
woman on the street unless he received
some encouragement from her.
This is all nonsense. L know at least
dozen pretty modest young women
who have never even so much as looked
at a man they did not know who have
been addressed in the most familiar
fashion by some well dressed Ioafer
who thought his personal charms so
great that he could with ease break
down the barriers of conventionality
and good breeding and be forgiven by
the feminine object of his admiration.
That many such have received the
out saying, but many more are merely
ignored. The girl is too refined to Gre
ate scene, and thus when he has re-
ceived only a silent snub, hardly no.
ticeable by the passersby, he goes on
his way to tackle another one who has
not encouraged him a whit more than
the first, despite all masculine asser-
tons to the contrary.
Men can fail-men do fail-in bust
ness without having their failure
caused by their wives extravaganza.
Men do drink without being driven to
it by the coquetries of their wives with
other men or an absence of congeniaI-
ity in their homes, and men do speak
to women on the street without being
in the least bit encouraged so to do.
They take chance, and it is a pity
that they are let down so easily when
that chance is not in their favor. But
even if they were caught in the very
commission of their act of effrontery
they would probably brazen it out and
lay the blame on the innocent woman.
Ever since the day when Adam, the
coward, wiggled out of the responsf-
bility for his misdoing by saying.
The woman tempted me- and I did
eat men have been .inventing lame
excuses for their failings and are glad
enough to saddle the blame on the op-
posite sex, though they know in their
hearts they are taking refuge in the
most palpable subterfuges that deceive
very few women at least, whatever
they make men believe on the sub

BOOK s-cHAPTER XIV.

]
How we. are to be despised, and what
we. are to say, when we desire any
| thing.
My son, say this on every occasion:
Lord, if it be pleasing to Thee, so let
it be Lord, if it be to Thy honor, let
this be done in Thy name.
Lord, if Thou seest that this is ex-
pedient and approvest it as profitable
for me, then grant that 1 may use it
to Thy honor.
But if Thou knowest that it will be
hurtful to me, and not profitable for my
soul, take away from me such desire.
For not every desire is from the Holy
Ghost, though to man it seem right
and good.
It is difficult to judge truly whether
it be good or evil spirit that impel-
leth Thee to desire this or that, or
whatever Thou art not moved to it by
Thy spirit.
Many in the end have. been deceived,
who at first seemed to be led by a
good spirit.
Whatsoever, therefore, occurreth to
thy mind as worthy to be desired, it
must be always with the fear of God
and humility of heart that thou desire
and ask for it. And above all thou
oughtest, with self-resignation, to COM
nit to Me, and to say:
Lord, Thou knowest what is best, let
this or that be done as Thou wilt.
Give what Thou wilt, and as much
as Thou wilt, and at what time Thou
wilt.
Do with me as Thou knowest, and as
best pleaseth Thee, and is most for Thy
honor.
Put me where Thou wilt. and do with
me in all things according to Thy will.
| am in Thy hands: turn me hither
and thither as Thou choosest.
So, L am Thy servant, ready for all
thing; for I do not desire to live for
myself, but for Thee; oh, that I could
do so in a worthy and perfect manner!

CHAPTER XVI.


That the true consolation is to be
sought in God alone.
Whatsoever I can desire or imagine
for my comfort look not for here, but
hereafter. For if L alone should have
! all the comforts of this world, and
might enjoy all it's delights, certain it is
/ they could not last long.
Wherefore thou canst not, o nay soul,
: be fully comforted nor perfectly re-
freshed, except in God, the comforter
of the poor and the receiver of the
I humble.
| Wait for a little while, my soul, wait
| for the divine promise, and thou wilt
have abundance of all good things in
/ Heaven.
If thou desirest too inordinately they
present things, thou wilt lose those that
are Heavenly and eternal.
Use temporal things, but desire eter-
nal. Thou canst not be satisfied with
any temporal goods, becaust thou vast
not created for their enjoyment.
Although thou shouldst have all Gre
ated goods, thou couldst not be happy
and blessed; but in God, who created
all things, consists all thy beatitude
and happiness.
Not such as is seen or cried up by the
foolish lovers of the world, but such as
the good, faithful of Christ await, and
of which they that are spiritual and
clean of heart, whose conversation is in
Heaven, have sometimes a foretaste.
All human comfort is vain and short.
Blessed and true is that comfort
which is derived inwardly from Truth.
devout man everywhere carrieth
about with him Jesus his CONSIDER, and
saith to Him. Be with me, o Lord,
Jesus, in all places and at all times.
Let this be my consolation, to be
freely willing to forego all human COM
fort.
And if Thy comfort be withdrawn,
let Thy will and just trial be to me as
the greatest of comforts For Thou wilt
not always be angry, nor with Thou
threaten forever.

I feel it my duty to protect Catholics
and the public generally from fraud
and imposition by notifying them from
time to time that no person bearing the
name and garb of a priest or sister or
any one else is authorized or permitted
to solicit or collect in this diocese for
any purpose whatever connected with
the Catholic church without having
from me permission in writing bearing

POPE LEO ON THE CATHOLIC
PRESS.

A Catholic newspaper in a parish is
a perpetual mission. Let all who truly
and from their souls desire that re-
ligion and society defended by human
intellect and literature should flourish,
strive by their liberality to guard and
protect the Catholic press, and let
every one in proportion to his income
support them with his money and in
fuence, for to those who devote them
selves to the Catholic press we ought
by all means to bring helps of this
kind. without which their industry will
either have no results or uncertain and
miserable ones. LEO XII.
