AT ST. MICHAEL'S PRO-CATHEDRAL. 
 
 After the Gospol, at the Bishop's Mass, last Sunday, Jan. 16, 1898 
 he made tht following brief annotincement :— 
 
 »* ^ ?^a^f ^^ **° ^^^ Pope's Encyclical in the original Latin, on the 
 Manitoba bchool Question came to us in the usual way, through our Most 
 Rev. Metropolitan, the Archbishop of Halifax, to whom ordinarily such 
 official documents are sent from Rome, to be re-distributed by him to the 
 various suffragan bishops of his ecclesiastical province. In the Arch- 
 bishop's letter dated : Archbishop's House, Halifax, Jan. 10, 1898, is 
 stated : "My Dear Lord— I am sending you a copy of the Pope's Encye- 
 Iical which reached here only on Saturday, and of which I am preparing an 
 hnghsh translation. Should you desire copies of the English translation 
 for your clergy, please let me know by telegraph how many you would 
 require- 
 
 '* In conjunction with this matter I may say that when in Montreal 
 last week a form of letter of promulgation was agreed upon by several of 
 the Archbishops. Possibly, you may have received a communication from 
 Mgr. Begin on this question. I may say that as he was obliged by an order 
 from Rome to promulgate the Encyclical at onco, we agreed that he should 
 publish at the same time the Pastoral alluded to, and that we in promulga- 
 ting the Encyclical in our diocese would adopt that letter as our own. 
 Should your Lordship feel inclined to do likewise, you can obiai from 
 Mgr. Begin as many copies as you may require both in French and Eiialish 
 * * C. O'Brien, Abp. of Halifax," ^ 
 
 Similar letters have come from Abp. Begin of Quebec and Abp. 
 Bruchesi of Montreal. 
 
 In conformity and unity with our venerated Archbishop and the other 
 Bishops we adopt the same plan ; and, therefore, to-day at the end of this 
 Mass will bo read by one of the Rev. Fathers, at the usual time for making 
 the announcements, the said pastoral letter of promulgation ; and at the 
 High Mass will be read the said Papal Encyclical itself. This was done 
 accoi (lingly. 
 
 During the week when the packages telegraphed for, arrive frqm 
 Halifax and Quebec, copies will be duly forwarded to the priests through- 
 out the Diocese to be read in their respective churches next Sunday. 
 
 This is not in the spirit of political partyism but in the spirit of 
 obedience to the Supreme Visible Head of the Church, whose infallible 
 pronouncements in matters of faith and morals— of religious truths, not 
 mere worldly or secular opinions which may vary or differ— are protected 
 from error by Him wlio cammands us to liear and oljey. Christ says : 
 " Sufffcj little children to come unto me, and forbid them not "—by a mere 
 secular or neutral education, preventing them from growing up in the 
 habits of practicing and learning their duty to God, to themselves, and. to 
 their fellow men. " He that shall scandalize one of these little ores that 
 believe in Me, it were better for him that a millstone should be hanged 
 about his neck and that he should be drowned in the depth of the sea." 
 
 But to those who teach correctly, in the spirit of "faith that worketh 
 by charity" a great reward is held out : "Whatever you do to the least of 
 these is done to Me" says our Lord in the Gospel ; and the Holy Ghost 
 proclaims the reward of this duty : "They who instruct many to justice 
 shall shine as the stars for all eternity." [Daniel XII. .3.] 
 
 Rev. Dear Sik : On the first Sunday after the receipt of this, please 
 read the accompanying Encyclical and Pastoral in the vernacular language, 
 without further comment, for your flock at the parish mass. 
 
 Praying God to bless you all, and to preferve all in peace and unity in 
 His service. 
 
 I remain, Rev. and dear Sir, faithfully your humble and devoted 
 servant in J. C.

 Chair at Rome, 1898.
