ENCYCLICAL FROM THE POPE.
ROME, Oct 4-The Osservatore Ro-
mano publishes tonight the text Of an
encyclical by Pope Plus X, commemorA
ating Leo XIII. The encyclical. the
first issued by Pope Plus, is entirely
religious in tone. The most interesting
part of 1t is as follows:
I'VE proclaim that we have not in the
supreme pontificate any other program
than to gather all things in Christ, so
that Christ shall be all in all. There
will not be lacking those who, measur-
ing divine things by human laws, will
try to discover what are the secret
interests of our soul. We say to them
that we do not wish to be, and, with
divine aid, shall not be, before human
SOClely OlHSI llldil tIlC VI 1ON,
of whose authority we are the deoosi-
tory. The interests of God shall be our
interests, for which we are determined
to spend all our strength and life it
self, if it were asked, in order that we
may gather all things in Christ
His holiness recommends the educa-
ton of the young, particularly by the
clergy, and expresses the hope that
Catholic societies may spread in the
cities and throughout the country, and
give an example of Christian life. He
declares that obedience to law and
submission to the government are the
duty of all citizens.
The encyclical closes thus: 1T is
evident that the church instituted by
Christ must enjoy full and entire indie
pendence.''
