What Constitutes a Secret soeletyr

Father Posen, of Hollandale, Wis,
author of ''The Catholic Church and
Secret Societies." has just published a
pamphlet in reply to his critics, says
the New York Freeman's Journal. Fa-
Their Posen quotes from pastoral of
the late archbishop Of Milwaukee the
rule by which one can know what So
cieties are secret in the sense con-
demned by the church. AS this rule
will be useful to many desiring infor-
nation on the subject, we quote it.
In his pastoral of Jan. 20, 1895, the
archbishop said:
''The Catholic church has declared
that she considers those societies Sc
cret and forbidden:
Il. Which unites their members for
the purpose of conspiring against the
State or Church.;
I'll. Which demand the observance
Of secrecy to such an extent that it
must be maintained even before the
rightful ecclesiastical authority;
"III. Which exact an oath from
their members, or promise of blind
and absolute obedience;
CIV. Which make use of a ritual
and ceremonies that constitute them
sects.''
Father Posen gives two interesting
letters, one from Adriano Lemmi, head
Of the Free Masons in Italy, to Albert
Pike, head of the order in the southern
states, and the reply of Pike.
Lemmi wrote: II venture to inclose
to you copy of circular which, in
my character Of grand master, 1 have
sent to all the lodges holding under
the G.. o. Of Italy to encourage them
to persist in the struggle against the
Vatican, which is every day found
more in opposition to the progress of
humanity. II You ought to pro-
pose in all the lodges in the United
States an energetic protest against it.
and send it to me. You are of so high

ease to effect this. In pursuance of
your initiative, l am sure that in the
lodges Of Europe an identical move
ment will take place. Thus the prin-
ciple will have new foundation that
the Free NIasOns are consolidated
everywhere in the world, and to the
demonstlH lions of the clericalism of
the world will be put in opposition
those of the Masonry of the world''
The main interest in this correspond
ence is to be found in Albert Pixies
reply, indicating, as it does, the atti-
tude of the Masons of the United
States toward the Church. Under date
of Washington, Jan. %, 1889, Pike
wrote: Every Dear Brother:-If 1
could have given you any encourage
ment to hope that 1 might be able to
accomplish the desire expressed in
your much priced letter of the 21st of
November last, 1 should have answer
ed Immediately upon receiving it.
1t is not possible to induce our
Masonry to take united action or any
action in resistance against the pa
pacy."
The two letters from which we have
quoted are taken from the "Oficial
Bulletin Of the Supreme Council of the
33d Degree for the Southern Jurisdic-
ton of the United States, Vol. TX
1SSS-S9.''

The farmer named his price, and
Doc said he would take them all pro-

eggs, three Or four at q time, from the
basket and, Pretending to weigh them
