On his return from Rome last week
Archbishop Moeller of Cincinnati gave
an interview in which the following
paragraphs regarding the Welfare
Council appear:
During my audience with the Pope,
when the matter of the Welfare Coun-
Gil came up, the Holy Father stated
that the decree regarding it had been
presented to him for his signature
shortly after his elevation to the Pa
pacy, and that, assuming that it had
passed through the regular forms, he
had attached his signature to it. How
ever said His Holiness, when I
learned that there was such a great
preponderance of the American hier-
archy in favor of the Welfare Council,
| gave orders that the decree should
not be promulgated by publication in
the Acta Apostolicae Sedis.'
LAS DEGREES are not binding until
they have been promulgated through
the Acta,' remarked the Archbishop,
"the status of the National Catholic
Welfare Council remains unchanged,
and the council will meet in Washing

ADVISES OWN SECT
UNITARIAN MINISTER DISCOVERS
NEED OF ORDER IN RELIGION.

(By N. c. w. C. News Service.)
1t is time for Unitarianism to get
down to some substantial and orderly
basis, to inject little claw and order
into its makeup, and put stop to the
free-lancing of its ministers, according
to distinguished preacher of the Uni.
tartan church, DR.. Abraham M. Rihba-
ny of Brookline, who spoke in Ando.
yer, Mass, before a gathering of min
listers of his sect at the annual insti.
tute.
"The country which is founded on
law and order will not accept a church
not SO founded" said Dr. Rihbany. "To
what is the success of other denomi-
nations due? To their fundamental
laws, which are duly carried out by
their ministers
"The missionaries who go out from
other churches go for set purpose
to found church of their faith with
its set rules and regulations. 1t ap
peals to the people because of its
stability and there is always conf
dence in stability.
"A church will be a success only
when it stops fussing and fiddlins
about its freedom and learns that Law
and order are the fundamentals of the
universe"
