are deservedly proud of the honor
which has been conferred upon him

''OLD CATHOLIC" LEADER
"ARCHBlsHoP" MATHEW SEEKS
READMIssIoN TO THE CHURCH
AND ASKS HIS FOLLOWERS TO
DO LIKEWISE.

The principal event or the past
week in London was the conversion
of Archbishop" Mathew of the Old
Catholics. 4IEs has been a prominent
figure for some years in heretical
circles. A convert, he was ordained
priest some years ago, but broke his
obedience, and, after becoming an
Anglican, joined the Old Catholics and
finally was eonsecrated archbishop by
the Old Catholic Bishop of Utrecht.
He then consecrated in his turn two
Birmingham Catholic priests who had
incurred censure, and put himself at
the head of an Old Catholic 'hier-
archy" in England. The two Birm-
ingham priests, however, made their
submission to Rome a year or two
ago. Then Archbishop Mathew, who
declares he is Earl of LANDAU, called
on the Protestant Bishop of London
to make submission to him, when he
would give him and his clergy conse-
Grafton, making their orders valid,
and would endeavor to bring about
corporate reunion with Rome! Need
less to say his appeal had no effect.
Now Father Mathew, as he really is,
has himself been converted. He has
been living in retirement for two
months and examining his spiritual
position. It's untenability has struck
him and he has publicly offered his
humble contrition and obedience to
Rome, asking through Cardinal Merry
del Val that the Pope absolve him
from censures and restore him to
communion with the Catholic Church
In a public declaration of his action
he calls on all his followers to exam
inc closely into the claims of the
Papacy and to follow his example in
turning to Rome. He also begs the
prayers of all Catholics for assist
anee to persevere in his good resolu
tions.

Beautiful Christian Hope! What

either the father or the mother is a

days for the missionary staying for
several days among heathens that sit
in darkness, and in the shadow of
DEATH" knowing nothing about the
beauties of our holy religion, nothing
about the Son of God, our Redeemer,
etc. The priest feels extremely lone
ly and lonesome, indeed, and it is
through such acts of modification and
penance that missionaries have gained
thousands of souls for heaven. Prayer
to accompany all this has been a mat
ter of course with them. 1t seems
God necessarily sends the missionary
some bodily or mental suffering before
the devils citadel falls, SO he is able
to baptize little pagan child. In
December, 1894, when crossing the
Little Winnibigoshish Lake with a
team, the horses broke through the ice
in the middle of the lake and we, the
Indian driver, myself and team nearly
perished in the water; but for this
was amply repaid very soon by bap
tizing ten adult Chippewas in that vi
cinity.
