A bishop of the Protestant Episcopal rchurch of America is the subiect of somewhat severe but entirelv deserved criticism in a letter to the Examiner of Bombay. A gentleman in that far-! away British colony ordered from England Eng-land a book advertised as "A Catholic Atlas; or. Digest of Catholic Theology, comprehending' Fundarmntals of Religion. Re-ligion. Summary of Catholic Doctrine, Means of Grace," etc., etc. At the cost I of eleven shillings he received the book only to find tht it dealt, not with Catholic or Roman Catholic, but with so-called Anglo-Catholic (that is, Prot- extant) theiiogy. It was written by j the P. E. bishop referred to, and the i urehaser of the volume a non-Catholic, by the way declares: "I consider It absolutely dishonest that a Protestant Protest-ant bishop should publish a work called 'Catholic without any qualifying adjective." ad-jective." And so will it be considered by per- sons of integrity, Protestant or Catholic. Cath-olic. An impartial jury of Mussulmans, Mussul-mans, for instance would not deliberate deliber-ate long before convicting author or publisher in the given case of obtaining obtain-ing money under false pretenses. "Catholic." "Cath-olic." unqualified, means Roman Catholic Cath-olic in the accepted usage of the Eng- 1 lish-speaking world: and to use it as I above is purely and simply to falsify 1 language. The Church Paper Habit. (From the Presbyterian.) An examination of the subscription list of any church paper would reveal the fact that certain family names occur oc-cur with great persistency, says an exchange, ex-change, and all who have to do with that department of a religious publication publica-tion will agree with what follows: No matter what the financial condition of the family or the wide area covered by ' the spreading tree, the paper is read and paid for by pretty nearly all the members, of the family. The readers of the church paper are the solid nucleus of the church. Under all winds and weathers they are the people to be relied re-lied upon to stand by the ship. They create the sentiment that makes pro- press possible. Ignorance is not bliss, I and it is not folly to be wise in church-t church-t ly matters. The test of this church paper habit comes in hard times. The f church member who has become accus-,' accus-,' tomed to look for a message from the j church-at-large with the regularity of II "Wednesday or Friday, will sacrifice I many other things before doing with- i out his church paper. A Reform Prelate. f! Most Rev. Paul Bruchesi observed the jf twelfth anniversary of his elevation to i v 'i the archiepiscopal see of Montreal re-I re-I V I cently. He is only 42 years of age. After I A his consecration he immediately took 1 ,,' hold, with a firm but gentle hand, of all ! ' details in the administration of his very , l large, diocese. j His visitations, always singularly at-fl-J tractive to country and city parishes " alike, have been conducted with the 1 regularity of a model prelate and the charming adaptiveness of one who has I in an eminent degree .that gift of sym-! sym-! pathy which was the salient character- istic of the great apostle, his patron. J His grace of Montreal, however, did not confine his burning zeal to the limits lim-its of his episcopal charge. He threw himself vigorously into all civic and social reforms. Calling together to-gether all the Montreal journalists, Protestant as well as Catholic, he urged j them to labor earnestly with him for the discrediting of yellow journalism, I the purification of the stage and the 1 suppression of vice. So earnestly did j they accept his suggestions that a re markable change for the better was at once noticed in quarters where that change was most needed. And now no important civic reform is attempted In his cathedral city without an appeal for co-operation to the Catholic archbishop. arch-bishop. His measured utterances are watched for and carefully chronicled by non-Catholic organs whenever some flagrant departure from the true principles prin-ciples of morality shocks the public mind. Archbishop Bruchesi has in particular taken up the cause of temperance, tem-perance, preaching it first by example and then furthering it with the wisdom wis-dom of his church's world-wide experi- once. t The Cardinal Among the Jews. ! r (Catholfc Columbian.) f ft A society of Jews in Baltimore, Md., I ' held a bazaar recently in order to raise I il funds for a medical dispensary for the j f poor. One of the visitors to the fair I I was Cardinal Gibbons. He went I ( ) around to all the tables, encouraged the I f t attendants, and made a contribution to f the good work. He was then requested I to deliver an address, and did make a j few remarks in the course of which he 1 "Vam deeply gratified to see you I making this effort in behalf of a great 1 charity, a non-sectarian medical dis- I pensarv, for charity knows no religion.

Furthermore, I 'am glad to be here with you, because I have received many favors from the people of your religion, and when I re- turned from abroad one of those who 1 welcomed me was a Jewish rabbi.
