"HIs LAST TESTAMENT"

Daniel Webster was once arguing n
case in which the validity Of a will
was in controversy. the contest being
between the heirs Of the tesla
tor and a certain church, 10 which. II
was contended, the testator, unduly
influenced by its clergyman, had in his
last hours devised the most OF his
property. Webster claimed that the
testator was then too feeble In mind
to make a valid wilL and I'm the
course Of his argument he related this
incident:
A wealthy Spaniard. when on his
deathbed. was visited BY a certain
friar. and In solemn form was thus
interrogated: "Is II your last will and
testament that your estate In Andalu-
sia shall be given to Holy Mother
church," The dying man replied.
yes" "Is Il your last will and testa-
ment," proceeded the friar, that your
estate In CASTLE shall be given to Holy
Mother church," The answer was
Yes" And thus the eager eeclesias-
tic went on until the testator's son.
who was standing by, anxious lest his
dying parent should will away his en-
tire property, angrily interposed.
Father, is IL your last win and testa-
ment that I should take ysur gold
headed cane and drive this friar out
OF the chamberG" "Yes" was the still
Affirmative reply.

you think OF the Star. which can write
a whole column with the deliberate
purpose OF making the impression that
the non-catholic papers have lied
about the bishops oathg
The Star knew q was deceiving It's
readers. Was that "all for the glory
OF God. in the interest Of the church,"
But now comes the priest, Rev. A.
stocker. writing editorially In the
Southern Guardian and reprinted by
the New Orleans star. and says:
III I want TO know what oath a
bishop must take. open the page OF
the 'Pontlfcal Romanum.' the ofhcial
book OF the church. in which every de-
tail OF a bishops cons Grafton is con.
