such bull of accommodation is found. In the letters and documents of his | entire pontificate no such prayers or petitions can be discovered. The whole canard, then, originating centuries aft CT the pontificate of Calixtus, IS un- worthy the serious consideration of a scolar and the only thing that has kept it alive is hostility to the Catholic church, and the fact that the story is what the Italians (there is no exact equivalent for this in English) call ben | trovato.
 I am not sorry, I much confess, that
 this friendly controversy has arisen
 since 1t gave pr. Evans and myself op- pertunity to discuss the myth, and to
 put before the intelligent readers oi The Age-Herald the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. 1 Before closing this pleasant discus sion, I would like to say few words
 regarding the sentence within quota tion marks in the letter of my friend Dr. Evans, Pope Calixtus II, therefore,
 ordered extra Ave Marias to be re- peated by everybody, and also the church bells to be rung daily at noon whence originated the custom now so 1 universal"
 | pr. Evans, as & scholar, knows that such was not the origin of the beauti- full Catholic Angelus, but many people
 not having time for research, reading the sentence in question, might imagine that our present Angelus ringing and accompanying prayers originated in bygone petition and noise making sim liar to the tom tom playing and screaming of semi-civilized tribes when the sun is in total eclipse. As mat ter of fact, the Angelus was in ex- istence long before the pontificate of Calivtus III, who was pope from 1455 to 145s. The provincial synod of Grau in the year 1907 decreed that three Hail Marys be recited at the sound of bell in the evening. There are traces of
 an even earlier Angelus e. g. Pope Gregory TX in 12S9 ordered that bell should be rung for the salutation and praise of Our Lady. This evening An selus was the first to be established | Shortly afterward the morning An gelus was introduced. The earliest
 mention of this is in the chronicle of the city of Parma, in 1918, where the | town bell was rung in the morning. and when the bishop eXhorted all who heard it to say three Our Fathers and three Hail Marys. The midday An gelus was of somewhat later Introduce tion and was. at first, it seems, asso- ciated with the veneration of the pas sion of Christ. In Prague in 1886 and | in Mainz in 1423 it was rung on Fri days and by degrees on other days oi the week..
 In conclusion I would like to thank Sincerely Dr. Evans for his very cour- teous reply to my criticism, and for his friendly references to myself, and to express the hope which will find a ready echo that the delightful papers he con tributes to the Sunday Age-Herald may continue to delight us long. Sincerely l JAMES F. COYLE. 1 Birmingham, April 19, 1910.

I know him too well. both from his writings and from pleasant social entercourse for a broad minded, cultured gentle man, to harbor any such thought The head and front of his offending in my eyes was that he seemed to accept too readily the old myth that irritates all loyal Catholics, that Calivtus III either accommodated a comet or at least ordered prayers that the disasters 1t portended, famine, pestilence. war, etc., might be averted That Calivtus did neither the one nor the other Is the position we Catholics have held and hold.
