May Pray for Him

The only comfort of religious nature which is left to Tunnel. is that the faithful may pray for the salvation of his soul. but privately.
 Only shortly before he died, Car Ginal Charost, whose death was sud den. called Turmel and demaEded a confession. Instead Of complying Turmel walked out of the room, slammed the door and left Rennes.
 The question is now asked, what might be expected of this man who efficiently served as priest, but showed by his other works that he doubted the divinity or Jesus Christ, the Virgin Birth and the sacrament of the mass? Some Of Tunnels works have been translated in for eign languages and circulated by "modernists.

the IT pseudoynms. A book written under the name of Tippolyte Galle- rand was criticized by a Strasbourg priest in an article published in French review. The priest received a letter signed Gallerand and the other letter on the same subject from Turmel. The letters were ex- changed and both men were struck by the similarity of the handwrit- ing. Experts were consulted and they declared that both letters had been written by the same hand.
 Immense pains were taken by his ecclesiastical superiors to obtain the full facts about the activities of Ahbe Turmel and not until the most convincing evidence was collected were charges against him submitted 10 the holy office in Rome.
 Strictest Ban Imposed
 The sentence is the most severe ban that the holy office can inf1ict on members of the Roman Catho lie church Turmel not only has been rejected forever from the ex- ercise of his priesthood, publicly named as mourning major excom- munication, but he has been cut off, by the sentence of "Nitandus' from any association for his lifetime with any member of the Catholic church.
 The sentence of 'Nitandus" Gone who must be shunned) is extremely rare and it is stated that at present there are only five persons alive who have suffered this punishment As a result of it. Tunnel must never set foot again in any Roman Catho- lie church. II he does so, all reli- gIous offices or ceremonies in pro- gress must at once be suspended, and may not he resumed until he has departed.
 No Roman Catholic may meet talk or write to the person who IS under this sentence, or be associ- ated with him in any way. If he enters any house or room, 1t is the duty of Roman Catholics immediate ly to leave. They must not bow to him, salute him or recognize his presence in any way. Only the im- mediate relatives of the person un- der this interdiction, and his serv- ants, are admitted as exceptions to this order.

ures in gasoline pumps in service
stations scattered over the Valley

we're ignorant Of the shortages.

shortages were caused by two
things, the substitution Of a wet
hose. or one with a nozzle. for a
regular drain type hose. and be-
cause operators failed TO pump up
the tank prior TO filling a car.
Mr.. Kinard said that he would
return to this section sometime III

to remedy the short-measure pumps.
When asked when he planned 70
