sacerdotal Day Of the Press.-A

SacerdotaI Day of the Press.-A
very interesting meeting took place in
the Catholic Institute at Paris last
week. It was what is called the sacer-
dotal day of the press, and over
hundred priests from all parts of the
Archdiocese assembled to discuss var
ious matters connected with the at
titude of the clergy towards the press
in assisting it's good work. Interest
ing papers were read, among which
were "Our Duty to the Scientific
Press" by M. Fable Cuvillier; another
on the duties of the confessor with
regard to press matters, by Canon
Couget, while M. Fable Ardent dealt
with bad journals and their contents.
In the evening the Able Gonderot
dwelt on the duties of Catholic readers
to subscribe, while M. PAbbe Alfonsi
spoke on the subject of how parish
priest may aid the good press. This
union in labor between the clergy and
journalists is a great bulwark of the
French Catholic press, which has
again and again survived terrific per-
secutions IS.
