CATHOLICS HEAR
.PASTORALLETTER
Counsel in Problems of Day
Given in Joint
Letter
CHURCH RESOLUTE
AGAINST DIVORCE

Problems OF the day. religious, social,
educational and economic. and the at
titude which Catholics should take ia
the existing situation. make up the
contents OF a pastoral letter written by
the Catholic hierarchy Of the United
States, consisting Of i0i archbishops
and bishops, signed by Cardinal Glib
bons, and addressed 10 the more than
twenty million Catholic clergy and
laity In this country An abstract OF
the letter, the first joint pastoral is
sued by the American hierarchy in 30
years, was read at every mass in every
Catholic church In this city and in the
country yesterday morning. The alb
stract required % minutes 10 read
The pastoral discusses the growth Of
Catholic education the prosperity OF
The Catholic university, the importance
OF Christian training, and kindred
topics, advocating education OF the
Negro and Indian races as the best way
TO improve their condition. The stand
Of the Catholic chu-ch against abso-
lutte divorce, and for protection OF the
sanctity OF the home Is reaflirmed.
Catholics are warned against love Of
notorlety and lavish expenditures for
display, against the craze for pleas
ure."
Two important parts Of the letter
deal with the problems left by the
World War, and with the present in
dustrlal unrest. The abstract says:
Though the war is ended, our coun-
try is not yet restored 10 its normal
condition. on every side there Is un-
rest and agitation. The conflict OF class
with class makes progress impossible
10 threatens TO undo the splendid things
which the union OF all our people ac-
complished 70 is importing into our
country the very evils which brought
disaster on Europe. II America IS to
be preserved. for its own sake and for
the sake OF humanity, a remedy must
be found for our present situation.
For long time The attempt was made
10 regulate human affairs without any
reference 20 God. 10 was thought that
the advance of civilization, the progress
Of science and the growth Of commerce
had made The peace OF the world Sc
cure. Religion was excluded in great
measure. Religion was excluded In
great measure from public life and en-
iirely from the council OF nations. II

with all the. resources OF power and
skill. And now we see It's results.
We cannot afford 60 repeat the eX-
pertinent. II we are 10 build anew We
must build on a sure foundation, not
on duicksand. The stone which the
builders OF the modern world rejected
must become again the head Of the cor
ner. In the teaching and example or
Jesus Christ, mankind must learn inc
