POPE SENDS APPEAL
FOR ROME COLLEGE
Autographed Letter to DR..
Grammar Of Washing
ton.
CARE FOR LATIN AMERICA

An autographed letter from Pope
Benedict XIV. has been received by the
Rev. Dr Charles l.. Grammar. member
Of the Pontifcal Biblical Commission
and professor emeritus of the Catho-
lie University In Washington. ID. c. The
message contains an earnest appeal for
aid from tho Catholics OF the United
states for the Colegio Pho Latino at
Rome. college which has already done
much for the cause OF religion In this
country. The letter evinces also the
deep interest which the pontiff takes
in his effort TO promote the spiritual
welfare of the peoples OF Latin America
and the high esteem In which he holds
pr. Grammar, TO whom the work is en-
trusted.
the original is written in Latin and
"a remarkable for it's penmanship. The
translation preserves In many respects
the dc;ion of the original. 1t is addressed
10 "our beloved son. Charles +. Gran
nan, u. D., domestic prelate." The
translation follows:
ArosroLic BENEprcTioN: This letter
comes TO you, beloved son. sanctioned
by an affection which induces us not
merely TO voice our cordial appreciation
o. your provident benefcence toward
our Plus Latin American College; but
at the same time we earnestly exhort
you to urge to completion. with daily
Increasing zeal, the work already begun !:
a work which your loving loyalty. no
less than the anxious care of our pre-
decessor OF blessed memory, P.us ".
with his gentle insistence, obliged you
10 undertake.
And although your skilful manage
ment IN the matter of which we speak.
has already borne fair fruhage. still the
circumstances of the institute are 80
s,raitened that the supply of ordained
workers fails 10 meet the needs Of the
harvest. which increases day by day, In
the dioceses OF Latin America. We are
fully aware that the bishops are labor
ing zea,orsly to meet this deficiency. AMI
while their efforts. as you know, benefit
individual dioCeses, IL has nevertheless
become evident that the welfare of the
Universal Church requires us TO secure
FOR every diocese priests who have been
thoroughly and soundly instructed N
Catholic doctrine and discipline by Rome,
the mother and mistress or all the
churches.
Wherefore, we urge you again 10
hasten Your assistance in this crisis Of
our urbln college, in order that the
brethren in Latin America may recog-
nze the deep debt OF gratitude which
they owe to your kindness and to the
generosity Of the faithful in the United
States of America.
"May the apostolic benediction which
We very lovingly impair; to you. believe /
ION. AMI to all who aid you in the work
here proposed. be an earnest OF divine
favor and a testimony of our benevo-
lercc.
"Given at Rome. at st. Peters. on
'hc seventeenth day Of March. in the
Hrs, year Of our pontifcate.
