At St. Mary’s Church, Nelson, last Sunday (reports the Nelson “Mail 1 "), Father McGrath made somo remarks apropos of tho attitude of a member of a Military Service Hoard, 'who, ho said, had given utterance to certain views on the conscription of tho 'clergy as ‘ ‘the only Homan Catholic member of tho board.” Tho sneaker said ho was not aware that there were such members. Tho term was at least ambiguous. At boat, one in such a position could only truly describe himself ns a member of tho board, “who happened to be a Catholic.” Father McGrath added that a Catholic who expressed opinions contrary to the demands of the hierarchy was representative of no Catholic party. Bishops were declared by the Vatican Council to bo tho divinely* appointed rulers of the flocks assigned to them. The Catholic system aimed at unity, and there were moans of ensuring it. There were cxcommunica--tious against members who made decrees against the liberty and rights of the Church, and against those impeding directly or indirectly the Church's jurisdiction by counsel, help or favour. Members, of Appeal Boards, therefore, before speaking as Homan Catholics, might do well to examine their consciences. BATH YOUR BABY WITH REXONA SOAP And ho will show his gleo by being his brightest, merriest tittle self, always ready for tub time. Don't forget, Hex* oua Soap is sold everywhere at Is Cd per tablet.
