This is the last issue of the
NNTERPRIsE for the 10th CEN
tury. Before the next issue
appears (next Wednesday, we
ill be living in the Goth CEN
oSdty; and the nineteenth, with
all its wonderfully marvellous
developments, will have passed
into history. In almost every
respect the century just closing
was the greatest In which man
has ever lived. 1t furnished us
n long list Of inventions that are
in universal daily use, and
without many of which it seems
to us that we could not now
dispense, yet many generations
of people lived before us with
out them. When the nine
teenth century dawned there
was no railroads, no tel
egraph, no sewing machines,
no typewriter, no moving or
reaping machines, no cylinder
printing press, no improved agri.
cultural machinery, no cotton or
woolen mills, no electric lights,
no dynamo, no telephone nor bi.
4 frycle, no cooking stove, to say
nothing of the thousand and one
smaller things that are in daily
use. Verify the dying century
s been a great epoch in the an
nails of time, and the number of
lts achievements have been
oqualed only by their magnitude
and their worth to the human
race in its development. 1t is
safe to say that of all who may
read these observations not one
will live to see the end of the
century upon which we are now
soon to enter. 1t is almost
equally certain that of the twenty
odd thousands of people, men,
women and children, now living

counsel in some of the most important
cases recently tried in his county, nota-
bly, the celebrated case of the Common
wealth against r. c. l.. Barrett. charged

The trial lasted four days. and Mr.. Shell

OBJECT OF THE CIRCULAR.
TIE nature of the 'vindication" referred
to is already familiar. It relates. OF
course, to the controversy over the va
lidfty OF Anglican orders Three tunes
the Pope of Rome has taken up the mat
ter-the first near the early part OF the
Seventeenth century. The first TWO tlnes
were held to be cursory. AT almost the
beginning OF the ritualistic controversy
in England the question OF orders came
up and entered into public discussion
The present Pope. Leo Kill, thereupon
took UP the matter and issued what the
Roman Catholic Church claims to be the
final communication on the subject Pope
Leo XIII. pronounced the Anglican OF

fault of the ordinaI as through the In

; THE ENCICI,ICAL.
The encyclical begins:
ITO our Most Reverend and Right Rev
erend Brethren in the EpiScopate
Throughout the World-Peace and Greet
ing in the Name of Or Lord JESUS
Crest:
TT is one OF the peculiar distinctions
of the Anglican Church that she has al
lowed to her sons wide liberty IN their
exposition and defense Of the Christian
faith She has no index or censorship.
She believes that her children Will them
selves apply the unerring text or Holy
Writ, as interpreted by antiquity and
primitive practice. to all utterances as
to faith and doctrine. Her confidence
has not been misplaced. 1t is owing to
this liberty wherewith she hath made
her priests free that she has never lacked
sons to bear sturdy and successful wit
ness to the faith, or to defend her from
the attacks of those who would raZe her
bulwarks to the ground"
Speaking of the Rev. DR.. LowndeS'
.@v1ndication,'' which accompanies the
encycllcal. the bishops of Delaware. Long
Island and Springfield, say that it is true
that "the bull of our venerable brother.
the Bishop of Rome. has been replied to IN
a most able and convincing manner by our
most reverend brothers, the ,iArchpishops
of Canterbury and York. but they state
that the 'vindication' they now send mas
now been completed in its main parts
before the archbshop's reply reached
America, and they feel that longer
and more careful answer is permissible,
coming, as it does, from the American
Church." Tho encycIical then concludes:
confident that one Of the necessary
conditions of the reunion of the dis1ers-
ed sheep of Christ is the spread among
our brethren of a true knowledge of that
