those countries in which conscriptiOn
has been introduced the interests OF
the Church have suffered more or less
If it comes to us it is likely to be more
rather than less. We are just now on
terms of extraordinary intimacy and
cordiality with the infidel Govern
ment of France. At least so we are
told by some of our public men who
have undertaken to represent us. That
Government wishes to see us under
system of compulsory military serv'
ice. What more likely than that if we
do have CONSUMPTION our system will
be modelled on theirs. 1t would Ger.
tainly be highly flattering to them,
and would doubtless help to cement
still more closely the friendship that
exists between them and us if the
soldier priests of Ireland were to line
the trenches side by side with the
soldier-priests of France.
At all events, there is nothing to be
gained by deferring the process of
making up our minds on the question.
There is undoubted risk in delay, for
already the thin end of the wedge has
been introduced, in the shape of the
Registration Bill. 1t is better to say
at once what we shall certainly say if
we are faced with CONSUMPTION, and
that is that we won't have it in any
shape or form; and it is we'll to take
the necessary steps to ensure that our
determination will not be overborne.
In this matter the priest is bound with
the layman, and we have it on the au-
thority of the illustrious prince of the
Church already referred to that con-
scription as applied to the priest is
impious, sacrilegious, revolutionary
and atheistical that it is profana-
ton of the sacerdotal character,
transgression of the most sacred
laws of the Church, and leads natural
ly to debasing of the priestly char
acter and destruction of priestly in,

dangers by which it has ever been

For ourselves in Ireland, the consfd
Grafton of the question of compulsory
military service as affecting the
priesthood is by no means necessarily
speculative. In the near future it may
be brought home to use in a very
practical form indeed. The admins
tration of our national interests, at
the present moment, is hardly in the
hands of a body of men who would
force CONSUMPTION on US in the morn
ing II they thought the country would
tolerate it; and If CONSUMPTION does
come, then the priest will share the
burden Of It with the layman. We
shall be very credulous, very connd
ing, II we believe anything else. In

and princes were exhorted to see
that it was duly observed.

If, then, this privilege of ecclesias'
tics be of divine origin as so great an
authority as Suarez was held, or if 1t
is contained in the powers entrusted
by Christ to the Church for the pur.
pose of fulfilling her mission as is more
generally accepted, it follows that no
State can arrogate to itself the power
of subjecting the priests Of the Church
to the service of arms. The State, just
as we'll as the Church, derives what
ever powers it possesses from God;
and in the case of the State, as we'll
in that of the individual, God will not
allow spiritual interests to be injured
even for the gaining of problematical
temporal advantages. 1t follows, too,
that no one who has the interests of
religion at heart can view with COM
placency the formation in the public
of a condition of mind that endures
with Indifference the gross violation
of the Church's right, or. what is more
serious still, is disposed to accept this
violation as blessing in disguise.
Apart altogether from the divine in
sight that the Church enjoys in mat
tiers seriously affecting the fulfilment
of her mission, centuries of experience
have taught her that long, careful, and
uninterrupted training under the SUI
pervision of competent spiritual guides
is essential. if her ministers are to be
fitted for the duties they will have to
humanity possible has been done, the
result attained will oftentimes fall far
short OF what is desirable. The here
sizes and schisms that have been
caused by ministers of the gospel, the
corruption and abuses that have
broken out at times in monastic or
ders and among the secular clergy,
give proof enough of this. But what
is to be expected, considering the com.
mon frailty of human nature and the
strong and insidious temptations OF
the world, if the helps for the forma.
ton of habits of probity that are Sc
cured in the system of preparation for
the ministry have to be dispensed
with.
With all due allowance for the high
standard of morality that is said to
prevail among soldiery, especially in
war time, think no one will venture
to assert that the moral atmosphere
of military barracks, of military
camp or even Of the field of battle is
ideal for the training of aspirants to
the priesthood. 1t is from this direc-
ton as we'll as from the slaughter and
incapacitating of the priests who are
already too few for the work that is
to be accomplished that the peril ex
lists for the Church, and her enemies
know this as we'll as herself.
Pere Dudon, who has made an ex
haustive study of the question of TIN

that as far back as 1906, there was ,
deficiency of 3,109, and predicted that

We can readily understand that the
very trying position in which the
French Episcopacy is placed makes a
free and candid expression of their
views on this question practically i'm.
possible. Nevertheless. it is abund,
antly clear that the situation has not
been presented in this paper in darker
colors than they see it. This may be
gathered from the following grave
words of the illustrious Cardinal Billot,
addressed to the French Catholics of
Rome at the French Seminary on
March rs Of this year: "To guard our
selves from all exaggerated enthusi-
asm it is sufficient to give ear to the
cries of anguish that reach us from
the chaplains at the front and above
all from those attached to ambulances
and hospitals, placed in the presence
of reality, in the presence of those sa.
cerdotal souls that are enervated and
deformed in place and in a profess
sion that does not belong to them. of
those poor seminarists, above all,
abandoned to themselves. separated
from their superiors and directors, de-
prived of the spiritual aids of which
now more than ever, they have need,
so as to be maintained in the spirit of
their vocation. 1t is sufficient to have
received the condolences of our worthy
Bishops tortured (the word is not too
strong) by the anguish that the pros
pect of the future occasions them,

three-fourths of whose clergy (accord,
