cleanness In the eyes of the Old Law.
This does not imply any moral un
cleanness whatever. This is shown
to evidence from the fact that accord
ing to the same Book of Leviticus
touching corpse made a person un-
clean. Does this statement malign
either the corpse or him who touches
Iit? 1t is regretable that man of Dr.
Eliot's distinguished standing should
make in regard to the Old Testament
mistakes that would disgrace the lips
even of one who is not doctor or a
President Emeritus of Harvard. Deep
Eer students of the Bible see in those
|observances concerning different kinds
of' corporal uncleanness not mon
|strous things" but valuable lessons.
They see in them hygienic safeguards
tnat at such an early epoch are mar
velous and providential. They see,
moreover, that those different kinds
OF ritual uncleanness were speaking
symbols, addressed to rude people, of
the awful turpitude of moral guilt. But
to believe that those ordinances of
Leviticus ''maligned motherhood" is To
be in pitiable ignorance of the spirit
OF the Old Testament which to it's
everlasting glory designated barren
ness as sreproach,'' and regarded
motherhood as the pride of the ma
irons of Israel. An age in which
race-suicide is not uncommon would
do well to admire and not assail the
period of the Old Testament Scrip
lures, when motherhood, as in the case
of Anna at the birth of Samuel, was
the occasion of singing canticles of
thanksgiving (Samuel ch. 11).

office have been in Office under the
Kings father and mostly under the
late Kings elder brother, King Albert.
The King has indeed written a
strictly private letter to the Pope on
the subject of the so-called "Borromeo"
Encyclica1 The Kings intention was
to smooth down the feelings of the
Protestant majority of his subjects and
make things easier for his Catholic
subjects at the same time. The letter,
| can assure you, was neither ''viO-
lent protest" nor a protest of any kind
whatever against the Popes letter;
but a very courteous and respectful
statement of the difficult situation of
the Catholic dynasty and Catholic mi
nority in Saxony.
The King, as soon as he heard about
his brothers. article in the Review
Rome POriente,'' wrote to his
brother expressing his serious dissatis-
faction and enjoining him to withdraw
4 that article Immediately The King
never for one moment thought of up
holding his brother against the Pope;
but was entirely on the Popes side in
the whole affair and we'll pleased at
his brothers retraction as every good
Catholic is bound to be-
The article of Prince Max on the re-
union of the Latin and Oriental
Churches was withdrawn by it's author
as soon as it's misunderstanding and
errors were brought to his notice, and
before the Prince went to Rome.
There was, therefore, no occasion for
the Congregation of the Index" to
condemn that article; the voluntary
withdrawal of a print being always in
such cases considered as tantamount
to the official non-existence of that
same print.
The King and his brother are not
the least estranged, Prince Max
comes to visit the Royal Family every
year regularly for some weeks in sum-
mer and never misses family reunion
on great occasions.
The King-as everybody in Dresden
knows-is most strict and devout
Catholic. He is admirable in the full
fllment of his religious duties; hears
Mass every day; is devoted to the
Catholic Church and to the Holy See
and would undoubtedly rather die than
change his religion
Prince Max has not in any way re-
nounced any of his rights and preroga.
tives as Royal Prince of Saxony, nor
his revenues from the family estates
In fact, these revenues, such as they
are, constitute his only regular income.
He is professor at Fribourg in Switzer-
land and his establishment there is on
modest but decent footing. He also
keeps a man servant as | know by per-
sonal experience. 1t is quite true,
though, that the Prince has ascetic in.

thing quite true in the whole article

to this disgraceful evil Is to reform
and administer our criminal laws as
they are administered In England" he
said with earnestness and conviction.
1.-THE conduct OF most of our murder
trials Is a disgrace to our manhood,
and the abuse OF the appeal is even
more disgraceful. One has only to
familiarize himself with existing con-
ditions In London and New York to
appreciate what | say. Rarely are
there more than half a dozen men
charged with murder awaiting trial
in London. In New York at the pres,
ent time, so am informed, there are
between thirty-fve and forty men
charged with murder awaiting trial,
Yet the two cities are about the same
size. Here In New York state there
arc convicted murderers who were
sentenced to death more than year
ago, still awaiting final action on their
appeals. And conditions in New York
state are typical of the entire coun-
try. | don't hesitate to say that the
solution Of this problem is the most
important work before the country"
