POPE Receives PILGRIMS.

The pope, responding Yesterday to an
address by the bishop Of Orleans at the
reception of a deputation OF French
pilgrims, thanked the pilgrims for their
devotion and exhortsd them to remain
united. He said their reward would he
the welfare Of their country, as 1t was re.
ligion that guaranteed order and pros
psrity In society, ard The interests OF
both religion and society we're INSOFAR
able.
The pontifi denied vigorously that the
church desired the faithful to become
enemies of their country. On the con-
trsry, he said that love Of country was
stronger when united with devotion to
the church. Continuing the pope said /:
ITO politicians who declare Wsr on
the church, to sec.arans who do not
cease to caluminate with ba red worthy
of hell. to the false pslsdins of science
who try to render her Odious BY sOphism
and the accusations that she is an enemy
of liberty, civilization and Intellectual
progress, reply boldly that the Catholic
Church is the mistress Of souls, the queen
OF hearts and the domi0stor of the world
because she Is the wife Christ. The
depository of truth, che only can bring
back the people OfveneIa,ioD snd love"
In conclusion, the pope felicitated the
French Catholics who bad enrolled them
selves under the banner of Joan of Arc.
Many royslisis and clerical news
papers 10 Paris profess to believe that
the bestificstion ct Rome on Sunday Of
Joan of Arc marks the beginning of a
movement which will overthrow the re-
public. The GaulOis says:
"At the moment when the destlnies Of
France are threatened, the Church of
Rome, which has been prosecuted, ca o.
Illuminated and desp0iled by the radical
republicans, erects altsrs to the sanity
girl who once saved France, and our
bishops pray for her iutercession to
cause another miracle which shall de-
liver and restore the father land"
