 Poverty society and was conspicuous by
 his Sunday evening lectures before that | body.
 Although many of Dr. McGlynn S | friends had dropped away from him, | the Rev. pr. Burtsell stood staunchly
 by him, and about in 1890 rumors were
 spread that Dr. McGlynns case had
 been reviewed in Rome and that he
 was about to be returned to favor.
 Archbishop Corrigan said he had noth- ing against Dr. McGlynn personally, and that whatever steps had been talk en against him were to preserve cleri- cal discipline that had been broken. When Mgr. Satolli came to the United States as apostolic delegate in 1892 he examined Dr. McGlynn's case by the
 pope's special authority. The trial was held in the Catholic university in Washington and pr. Burtsell volunteer
 ed to explain to the legate Dr. Me-
 Glynns position on all the points at issue. The proceedings were secret, and 1t was said that Dr. Burtsell was authorized to promise certain conces- sions on the part of Dr. McGlynn to the effect that he would not again attempt the promulgation of theories not au- thorized by the Catholic church, and that he would not identify himself with movements calculated to involve controversies between church and state. On December 24 the following statement was given out by Father OGorman:
 "To end the many contradictory tel egrams sent out to the university for inquiry, 1t is thought expedience to state that at o'clock p. m. Dr. Me- Glynn was declared free from ecclesias- tical censures and restored to the exer- else of priestly functions, after having satisfied the pope's legate on all the points in his case"
 It was said later that Mgr. Satolli had said he did not find that the doc trines which Dr. McGlynn had preach ed were really opposed to the churchs teachings. Archbishop Corrigan ex- pressed his pleasure at the return of Dr. McGlynn to the communion of the church. Dr. McGlynn was allowed to otficiate as a priest on Christmas morn- ing in the, small oratory attached to St. Johns college In Brooklyn
 After saying three masses he went to Cooper Union, where an immense crowd awaited him. Many of those were old parishioners, who had been afraid to talk to him during the period of his communication and they greet ed him very heartily, and when he mounted the platform he was presented with laurel wreath and the great as- sembly sang Christmas carols.
 Tn his speech that followed pr. Me- Glynn did not utter one wo~d of regret at his past course, but on the contrary he referred to what he called the cause" as holy one, and to himself and his followers as martyrs, and con- cluded that he would preach and lec- ture on the same topics every Sunday evening in the same old place.
 His old parishoners had hoped that he would be restored to them or ap- pointed to some other church in New | York, but Archbishop Corrigan ap- pointed him to Newburgh. Dr. Mc- | Glynn obeyed the order implicitly, | somewhat to the surprise of a good many who imagined that there would | be another struggle. But as the preach er had said that Rome had acknowI- edged he was right, there was no occa- sion for further fight
