in the kingdom which Christ calls his
church. They confer power of gov
ernment over the interests of redemp-
ton which Christ cOnfided TO them, a
governemnt visible and among men be-
cause for men and their salvation. The
power OF government includes within
itself all that is requisite for true
government This power given to the
church by Christ was, as st. Paul says.
Given for edification and not destruc-
tion," that is, for the upbuilding of the
church and demanded the perpetuation
Of itself in its ministers, until the end
OF time.
The history of the church gives evil
dence of the apostles commission con-
tinuing the work of Christ through the
ep1scopate and the priesthood of the
Christian church. The apostles selected
Matthias and numbered him among the
apoS~ss, showing the identity of the
episcopate with the apostolic college,
and making clear the honor which came
10 hlm OF being successor to one of
the apostles chosen by. Christ. And
his episcopate let another take" said
St. Peter, referring to the treason of
Judas, thus designating the apostolic
office as that of the Christian epis-
chosen men in the different cities. who,
as st. Paul says, Were to rule the
church of God which he purchased with
his own blood. Christianity testifes
from Matthias to our own day.
The writings of the early Christian
fathers repeatedly recall to u.s. not
only the existence of the .episoopate
and its divine character. but they also
emphasize the fact that the supreme
pontif is the center of Christian unity
and from him comes the Jurisdiction
| by which the episcopate is capable of
exercising its powers. The episco-
pate, says St. Cyprian, sis one and in
divisible, being held by each bishop
| In its entirety so that Yithin the ele-
ments of his Jurisdiction he is vested
with full apostolic powers, but he can,
not exercise those powers except in
conjunction with his brothers of the
episcopate and in connection with and
obedience to the supreme pontiff, who
is the center of Christian unity" st.
Jerome. speaking of the distinction
equal in the priesthood yet they differ
in jurisdiction just as all the apostles
were equal in the apostolate, but Peter
was the superior in Jurisdiction. The
bishops do not succeed to the apostles
in the fullneSs and universality of the
episcopate; that belongs to the Roman
pontiff. The apostles had full and uni
versal power in the whole church, but
with subordination to Peter. Bishops
/ their authority came from the apostles
and from Peter" Tertullian says:
Our Lord left the keys of heaven to
Peter and through him to the church"
The ancient documents testify to the
| one bishop in the ancient churches of
| the large cities, governing them and
| ruling over the priests. 1t is also evil
dent, as we see in the case of Arius,
] that the denial of the episcopal pre-
eminence and authority was regarded
by the Cathioic church as heresy.

CHANCELLOR'S TYRANNY
SUCCESSFULLY FOUGHT

In our own day they have not been
afraid to stand against the tyranny of
an iron chancellor in Germany and
brought him to Canossa. as they had
long before brought Henry. and forced
him to repeal the iniquitous Falk laws
against the education of Catholic chill
dren in Germany. Magnifcently they
have presented a solid front against
the injustice and iniquity of an atheis-
tic government in France, just as they
are maintaining in Ireland and Eng
Gated in their own schools according
to the right of their conscience and
the doctrine of their church. Never in
the history of the church has greater
unity manifested itself. The universal
church chants its hymn of united ac-
claim TO the pontiff who condemns the
tendency of the age to error and who
summons all to the daily communion
adored. Never has greater unity or
greater love for the See of Peter been
known In any age than that of the
episcopate of the Catholic church In
our day.
The history of the church in our own
country is full of examples of the
apostolic lives of our bishops-self-
sacrificing, patient in the midst OF
privations. fearless in attacking wrong,
courageous. in upholding right. with
blameless lives. lovers of God and of
the people. Whether in determining g
for the wants of the people in the
days of trial and success, there is no
chapter in the history of the Christian
church more Illuminated by devoted
ness, unselfish zeal and rigid loyalty
to church doctrines and discipline and
unfailing affection for the people, than
that of the clergy of the Catholic
church in our own republic. We are
all familiar with the beginning of the
church in America. Some of us have
almost touched the pioneer days. The
lives of all of us have at least been

it seems to us that the very finger Of
God is clearly seen in the work of
church development People from all
the nations of the earth, speaking all
the languages of men, had to be in
structed and guarded in faith, parishes
had to be formed, churches and schools
built, the poor and sick cared for, and
generally the only means. at hand were
simple offerings of a faithful people

wealth upon the church;-nO. TO the
credit of the people be Ii said that
their pennies have been the principal
sources whence the church in the
United States has been able to build not
only the rude chapel and school of the
early days, but also that magnificent
network of icathedraIs. churches and
schools. colleges and universities and
charitable institutions, and maintain it's

has imposed upon it,

TRIAL AT MEDoRA TUESDAY


In the case of State IS krusse, the de-
fendant being charged with grand larceny:
Justice Nichols. the justice before whom
it was tried, dismissed the defendant on
the ground that there was not sufficient
evidence to hold Krusse, and taxed the
costs to complaining witness. The evil
dence adduced at the trial seemed to show
that defendant went to the Wannemacke r
ranch in Billings county and helped him
self to several articles of value, the prop
erty of Mr.. Wannemacker, and against the
will and without the consent of the farmer
who had charge of the place, defendant
claiming the property as his. Defendant
tried to establish ownership in himself and
evidently satisfied the judge as to the jus
tice of his claim.
