C. * (Signed) t JAMES ROGERS, Bishop of Chatham. Chatham, N. B.,Oct. 6, 1898, (Octave of the Feast ot' St Michael Archangel.) Reverend John H. Cushinh, Grand Anse, Gloucester (Jo., N. B. ' ' Reverend Sir: — My telegram of the 3rH inst. withdrew from yon the pastorate of Grand Anse, and notified you that your further .lerical services in this diocese would not be required. Your telegram of yesterday re- plying in the spirit of contumacy, state-* that you refuse to leave un- less you get $1,800, claimed to be due you for expenditure on build- ings at Blackville. This last telegram is evideme that you have not the due spirit of sacerdotal piety, and therefore I withdraw from you as far as the canons and discipline of the Church give me authority, all perniiission to officiate as a priest or celebrate in this diocese. Your financial claim for leimbursement of expenditure in erecting pastoral residence at Blackville, was duly considered and treated of in my Decretal Letter dated Oct. 1st, 1897, which was communicated to you and others concerned, at the time. It was there shown that ac- cording to the ecclesiastical regulations in this diocese, whatever ex- penditure a priest makes without the written authorization of the Ordinary, he does at his own risk and cannot claim from the Bishop or from the diocese compensation for the same. I also explained that if the people were willing and funds available, I would not prevent the pastor and committee or church wardens from paying vhatever might be considered just in e(|uity, for the buildings or property pio- cured in the mission and now ustd for the benefit thereof : and in re- ferring to the meeting called liy the Vicar-General, Father Barry, ovei- which he presided, it was stated in the official report thereof, that one of those present, expressed wl at was acquiesced in by all, that if any- thing was due Father Cushitig, he ought to be paid : but that fiivst, a full and correct statement of monies I'eceived by him from whatever source on account of said txpenditure be made, and balance be duly shown. But this statement of detailed receipts and expenditure was never up to the present furnished to the pastor and people of Blackville, who had it been duly furnished, v/ere fully disposed to give it the most favorable consideration : this I know from the remarks made by the Reverend Fatlier Crumley on different occasions, when I met him during the past year. But this matter of financial claim is a distinct question which can l)e duly adjudicated on its own merits in justice and equity. The building as far as completed, is there, and the contractor, and the reco()riition of various payments made to him and others, on the one side : and on the other the consciousness among • P^^P'^^^ th. .,, ... of Church aisciplinn^'S'^uSio^^^H^'^; '^^'"^ ''^ ^'- ""^^tter t Jet hiin he to thee as the heafhpm , \^''' "* * ^<-^ar the Church Jf, 17.)

Though members of an infallible church yet they are individually liable to fall into temptation^ They must watch and pray. St. Peter, though .lestined to become the chief visible Head of the Church, faile.l to watch and pray, and consequently fell into the grievous sin of denying His Divine Master m the moment of temptation ; but he repented and obtained torgweness; Judas betrayed His Lord, failed to repent and died in his sins ! Thus, in the very be^ winning of His church, from the disciples whom He had chosen and whom He instructed and ordained to the priesthood and apost eship, the above mentioned failures occurred : thus preparing His followers to not expect perfection in men, no matter what rank or office they might occupy, and to not become scandalized by the many future pre- varications which might take place. He foretold scandal : "It needs must be that scandals come (owing to human ^f^^ness abusing tree will) but woe to him by whom the scandal cometh Further on in the history of the early church, the Apostle St. John in the second and third chapters of his Apocalypse or Revelations, addresses admoni- tions to the respective angels (Bishops) of the ^^ven churches or dio- ceses in his special patriarchate by which we see that they had in different ways and degrees, fallen back from their earlier perfection though still good and faithful in general. These and other points of discipline, well known to all intelligent Christians, are referred to in order to show that if the one placed m authority as official superior has to act in reprehending or reproving others, it is as the official to whom is delegated that duty by the chief Government, (whether ecclesiastical or civil) and not in the spirit ot superciliously condenming others and, like the proud Pharisee of the Gospel, arrogating to himself perfection, thanking God that he is not Uke^he rest of u.en, especially like this Publican beside him, who humbly begged of God to be merciful to him a sinner ! Our Lord de- claredkt the Publican went away from the Temple l»«t^tie. f h^^^ than the Pharisee because his humble acknowledgement of tault and praver for mercy obtained his pardon.- Ip the Old Testament we read of the punishment inflicted on the Priest Heli, who w.is himself a good venerable priest, but neglected to correct his two sons who exer- cised the priestly office in an unworthy manner. (1 Kings 111, 1^-14.) The one cScasio^ on which it is related that Our Lord was so angry that He used physical violence in scourging and driving out ot th^ temple the moneycbangers saying :'' It is written, My House sh^^l be called a House of prayer, but you have maae it a den o^h ^ves r John II 14-17.)
