ProseIytising Campaign in Rome
Complaints are made in earnest terms
by the Society for the Preservation of
the Faith in Rome regarding the eff
forts of people who strive to take adj
vantage of the times to practice the
icIr1 ySfn In
ago it was remarked that the prose-
lytisers felt the price of souls had
gone up in Rome. But apparently this
does not cause them to lose heart;
offers of maintenance and gratuitOuS
education for the children of the poor
are made as freely as ever. Tracts
and books, despite the scarcity and
expense of paper, are scattered broad
cast, and are even deposited in private
houses by young women who boast
| that they have patrons in high offices
| in Italy.

mate of England, because he has lie
| jurisdiction outside of his own prov

| siding at meetings of ArchbishopS and
Bishops of England. On the other

at Barnstaple, on February 10, after
all illness of several weeks. The loss

| in the domain of historical research
it will perhaps be realized even more
keenly ON the Continent than in Eng
land.

by Pope Plus, which consisted in the

Index as a separate congregation and
it's amalgamation with the Congrega-
ton of the Holy Office, the purposes
and aims of which are identical. For
