Show Beware of Grafters. a Notwithstanding the strict laws made by the Rt Rev. Bishop Scanlan in regard to collecting in this diocese, yet occasionally un- der one subterfuge or another these statutes are violated. The law is made to protect persons from being imposed upon. It is strictly in conformity with the Council of Baltimore. Church members should be the first to discourage all such ' persons, no matter in what garb they appear or what they propose to do. Any appeal for pecuniary aid, whether in the form of collection, or sale : of books or religious articles, is : strictly prohibited. We refer our I readers to the standing notice which appears in our editorial : columns. ! |
