proof that there are very many Of the faithful

of Christ with all the devotion Of most dutiful
children
Although In the past We have received from
your diocese many expressions OF this nlisl
devotion, none was ever more appreciated
by US in our profound grief over AFFAIRS In

protest against tho persecution OF the Church
and to profess before the world loyalty and
obedience to the Holy See.

Park Commissioner Herman does not
seem to have any backbone at all. Re-
Gently when the nuisance OF stands in City
Hall Park became acute he was induced TO
revoke ali permits he had issued for them.
Al that time there were more than seventy
chairs for shining in operation on the walks
of the little park, and some OF the news stands
were bulky and high and had wheels under

was paid to the city, whereas those who
were unable TO secure permits through
political influence were compelled to pay
a tax OF 81 a year to do business outside the
park besides rent to private owners in front

-The return Of bootblack and newspaper

When trouble first arose between the

discontinued. This was done because no

hopes he may understand him. To do that.

touches upon are treated fully, OIL which
contain complete accounts Of cases from
which he srgues. That process was doubt
less necessary in lectures delivered before
a technical audience: II makes it difficult
for the layman TO follow the authors argu-
