One of the most important and
valuable features Of The Catholic
Bulletin is it's "Question and An
swer" department. It is open to
all who seek an answer to ques-
lions Of general interest in regard
to the Catholic religion. Many
more questions are received than
are answered for the reason that
many neglect to conform to the
simple directions given at the
head of the department. Many en-
quirers forget to sign their names
to their communications and, con-
sequently, their letters are con-
signed to the waste basket. No
attention is paid to anonymous
communications. In every case
the name must be signed as a
guarantee of good faith, but not
for publication. Furthermore, the
questions must be of general inter
est and without local or personal
application. Those who desire a
personal reply must enclose self
addressed and stamped envelope
The questions are answered in the
order in which they are received

TO OUR FRIENDS.

Since The Catholic Bulletin was
established at the beginning of the
year it has reason to be grateful
for the generous support received
from the Catholics in the Province
of st. Paul, as well as from those
who have patronized it as an ad-
vertising medium. It is grateful,
too, for the many expressions of
appreciation received from It's
readers who are pleased with its
Catholic tone and teaching, its re-
liable digest IF Catholic news and
its varied features which make it
interesting to all. Tt was not to
be expected that in a few months

shadows across those pathways.
