brought face to face with his lie wished the
grievances artcled against him to be urawn up in
detail in order that he might give straghtfor-
ward explanation He was answered that his accusers
no longer here. In reality, it was not he, but
Pere Melot who preached on October 31st in the
Church of the Chaussee de Waterloo. AS matter
of fact, the Rev. Fathers had for its sole
subject theme which far removed as it
could be from earthly conflicts viz, "The Beatic
Vision" Not one word passed the lips of the Rev.
Father which could give offense to the most suscept
bic of his hearers AS guarantee of this statement
have several witnesses altogether worthy Of belief,
who present at the sermon and were capable OF
thoroughly understanding it,
1t is less easy to answer the scrupies of your
Excelency about the preaching of the Revs. Carolyn
and Witemberg, because neither your dispatch OF the
9th that Of the Oath brings forward any definite
complaint
The dispatch of November says that some
Catholics, offended in their religious sentiments by
of the Vicaire Wittemberg at Ste. Alice, LETT
the church before the end Of the sermon. had an
opportunity of seeing M. Wittemberg, but was unable
to get at the bottom of the matter for want of any
thing definite which the German authorities think
they can bring against him. If these Catholics hesi-
tate, which ] can understand, to tell lay power
what it was that troubled their conscience, would
they be unwilling to forward and confde it to
their bishop?
They know that they have reprisals to fear
our part and that we have no interest IN ABUSING
their confidence.
AS regards the of November at Ste
Gudule, believe can put my finger on what gave
your Excellency cause for anxiety German of high
standing said to a trustworthy person. who re-
peated it to me- that the Abbc Carolyn had compared
Germany to prostitute. As matter Of fact, TINS
person was led into error by a spy who heard
the word prostitution" and applied it in distorted
sense. heard the preacher myself. He denounced
few wretched wights who instead of joining in the
general mourning of the country unmindfu of their
brothers, father husband fighting for them' hand
themselves over shamefully to the enemy
. do not wish to end this letter without thanking
your Excelency for being good as to accede to my
DESIRE expressed at sundry times, of seeing myself
ntrusted with the control of priests suspected of
having lacked in respect for the dignity OF their
ministry
Accept dear Governor General, the expression
Of my sincere esteem.

1nerous which haze been brought to MY notice

and directly the recruiting Of the Belgian arny.
His words must haze been understood By young Bel
gjdns an limitation TO disobey ny orders, about
the sense of tUhich there could be doubt. The
preacher gaze 1t out certain that 12 per cent only
of the Brussels people fit for military serUce had
joined the drmy 1Uhte so per cent Of the province
had passed the frontier and had enlisted The
preacher knetO tUhat he doing, for he kne1O of
young people Vho had been punished for violating ny
DEGREES.
As huvc declared several times to your Emil
1ence think that the guilt of these priests deserves
ertenuaton from the fact that they feel them
selves encouraged by the formal tuctt consent of
their ecclesiastical Superiors. NeUcrtheess shall be
forced to make the preacher of the LGekep
