consists largely Of things that are

,ention to q pamphlet which they
are circulating, which contains
the bassss ISLANDERS of she char
actsr Of Father Ohiniquy, Who
died an honorsd membsr IF the
Presbyterian Chnrch Of Canada.
Now they are calling attention
10 certain indignisies, in the way

treatment of she Jesuit by scene
from the suffrrings Of the Sav-

And shsn they add. "Thus an

sesivstion OF his nsme that q ye-

than half csntary from the
founding of the "Socisty Of Jss-
~, and i.s SANCTION BY one Pope,
il had ronpared shs name Jssuia

Of tas decree.
To know what the standard of
morals was among she JesEits Of
tho Seventeenth Century one has
but TO read the "Provincisi
Letters of Blaise Pascal. Ths
author Of these letters Was de.
vout Roman Catholic, but o sin
csrs follower of Jesus. Such be-
ing the case, he felt that he
could not csnsserats his trana-
