Rotterdamer Courent' for its vile
references to the divinity of Christ,
references sarcastic and unworthy of
any editors pen. Though fifteen
copies OF this organ have been
delivered daily at the royal palace,
the Queen has peremptorily prohibited
1t to be received In future. A note
to the editor from one of Her Majesty's
secretaries conveys to the editor what
is thought of his paper in the royal
household.

the Archdiocese of Cologne, Germany,
this year, sixteen priests will cele-

Erring Priest Repents.-A notable
submission to Rome took place re-
Gently. DR.. Moritz Weston, who has
for some years been pastor of the Free
Christian Church at Croydon, Eng, but
was formerly priest of the Birming-
ham Diocese, has placed himself in the
hands of his superiors, publicly ex-
pressed sorrow for the scandal given
and asked to be received back into the
Church. DR.. Weston, who is half
German, half English, has had an
adventurous career. Educated at col.
leges in England and Germany. and
taking high degrees, he served for
three years as a lieutenant in the Ger
man army. Then the wanderlust took
him and he visited America, Texas
Australia and other of the earth's far
places as miner, navy, stevedore, gold
prospector, and finally Manchuria and
| Siberia as a secret service agent
Returning to civilization he studied
for the English bar, but soon gave up
the law and went to Berlin to study
medicine. Then he became a convert
to the Catholic Church and was event.
ually ordained priest. After few
years on the mission he was given a
teaching position in a college, but the
pecularities which had led to his with.
drawal from the mission again mani.
tested themselves. He soon broke
away from the fold and set up a
religion of his own. That has, as
usual, failed, and the disappointed man
is back again at the feet of Mother
Church. DR.. Weston is brilliant il
erratic, and we may now hope he is
settled for life.
