NOTED jPElTS
FOUR ANGLICANS RECEIVED INTO
THE CHURCH—PROMINENT IN
CHURCH OF ENGLAND CIRCLES.
Four important conversions took
place in England last week. The first
is that of Brother Anselm, the last
Remaining Anglican monk of Caldey,
who, when the community was re
ceived into the Catholic Church, left
the monastery and 'Bet up the Anglican
order once more in a house at Per
shore, which had been affiliated to
Caldey, and which the donor de
manded back from the now Catholic
monks for the purpose of carrying on
the Anglican community. For two
years Brother Anselm has struggled
with this intention, but few candidates
have presented themselves for admis
sion to the order, and now, having
become convinced of the truth of "the
Catholic Church, he has resigned his
office, handed back the properties in
trust to Lord Halifax, and humbly
made his obedience to his former su
perior, asking to be received into the
Catholic Church.
The second conversion is that of an
Anglican clergyman, Mr. George Watts
Dibden, recently curate of Holy Trin
ity, Finchley, who was received into
the Church last week by the Jesuits
of Roehampton, and hopes to stady for
the priesthood.
The third notable convert is Lady
Sybil Fraser. daughter of the Earl of
Verulam, and wife of the Hon. Alastair
Fraser, brother of Lord Lovat. She
has been married a year, and her hus
band is, of course, a member of one of
the most devoted Catholic families of
Scotland. She was received into the
Church by the local priest at Hunstan
ton, Norfolk.
A fourth convert whose name has
not been made public is a young offi
cer, who received instructions from a
chaplain at the front. He is the heir
to a well-known peer.

Michael Jfepkins, multimillionaire

But the Oecumenical Synod of
Trent in a certain very solemn defini
tion proposed the same to be believed,
when it taught "that the souls de
tained in Purgatory are assisted by
the suffrages of the faithful, especially
by the true acceptable sacrifice of the
Altar," and inflicted an anathema on
those who should say that the Mass
must not be offered "for the living and
the dead, for sins, punishments,
satisfactions and other necessities."
Nor has the Church ever followed a
line of action at variance with this
teaching for at no time has it ceased
to exhort Christians not td! suffer the
souls of the deceased to lack those
advantages which flow most abun
dantly from the same sacrifice of the
Mass. In this matter however it
must redound to the praise of Chris

behalf of the deceased has never been
wanting: and the history of the

Ad Perpetuam Rei Memoriant.
That the iinbloody sacrifice ctf the
Altar, seeing that of its very nature it
differs nothing from the sacrifice of
the Cross, not only gives glory to
those who are in heaven, and Is pro
fitable for healing and health to those
who are immersed in the miseries
of this life, but also avails in the high
est degree for the cleansing of the
souls of the faithful who have passed
to their rest in Christ, has been the
perpetual and constant teaching of
Holy Church. Express and manifest
traces and proofs of this teaching,
which in the course of the centuries
has been afforded such signal solace
to all Christians and has excited all
the excellent amongst them to admira
tion of the infinite love of Christ, may
be found in the very ancient Liturgies
of the Latin and of the Eastern
Church, in the writings of the Holy
Fathers, and, in fine, in many decrees
of ancient Synods.
CELEBRATES FIFTIETH ANNI­
VERSARY OF HIS PRIESTHOOD
QUIETLY AT BROCKWAY,*MINN.
—ORDINATION OF HIS NEPHEW,
JOSEPH fROBEC MANY
PRIE8T* ATTEND THE CERE­
MONY.
Fifty years ago, on September 8,
1865, Right Reverend James Trobec,
former Bishop of St. Cloud, was or
dained to the priesthood in the Cathe
dral of St. Paul by the Right Rever
end Bishop Grace. Last week tye
celebrated the golden anniversary of
that event in the Church of St. Ste
phen, Brockway, Minn., where he
lives in retirement with his nephew,
Rev. John Trobec, the pastor of the
parish. In keeping with his wishes
the celebration was a very quiet and
informal one. In all probability the
occasion would have been allowed to
pass unnoticed were it not that it
was the day selected for the ordina
tion of the Rev. Joseph Trobec, a
nephew of the Bishop who had com
pleted his studies in the St. Paul
Seminary, St. Paul, Minn. This event
was taken advantage of by many of
the priests of the Diocese of St. Cloud
and of other parts of Minnesota, who
came to tender in, person their con
gratulations to th«| Right Reverend
Jubilarian.
The ordination eff Father Trobec
took place during the Pontifical High
Mass celebrated by the Right Rev.
Bishop, assisted by his nephew, Rev.
John Seliskar of St. Paul Seminary
as archpriest, Rev. Francis Rant of
Arlington as deacon and Rev. J.
Cherne of Sheboygan, Wis., as sub
deacon. Rev. Gerard Spielmann, O. S.

deeply rooted in men's minds, both
kings and peoples, wherever Catholic
ity was known, then devoted them
selves the more actively to the
cleansing of the souls in Purgatory.
Indeed that very ancestral piety
became so intense that, many cen
turies ago, in the kingdom of Arragon,
by a custom gradually introduced,
secular priests celebrated twice, and
regulars thrice, on the day of Solemn
Commemoration of All Souls: this
privilege Our predecessor of immor
tal memory Benedict XIV not only, for
just reasons, confirmed, but also, at
the request of Ferdinand VI, Catholic
King of Spain,' and likewise of John V,
King of Portugal, by an Apostolic
Letter dated the 26 August 1748, so
extended, that to every priest whom
soever in the dominions subject to
either Prince he granted the faculty
of celebrating thrice on the same
Solemn Commemoration.
But as time advanced, very many,
both Bishops and civilians of every
grade, again and again petitioned the
Apostolic See to allow this privilege
to be used in all nations and more
than once have petitions on the same
matter been presented both to Our
immediate predecessors and to Our
selves in these first days of Our
Pontificate.
Nor let it be said that the reasons
which formerly inspired this purpose,
have even fiow been lacking: indeed
they both still exist and are becoming
graver every day. For it is to be
lamented that those pious foundations
and bequests of the faithful, who have
either in any wise arranged or pro
vided by will that Masses should be
celebrated for the relief of the de
ceased, have in part been abolished,
and in part been neglected by those
who should least of all do so. Add
to this, that of those very persons
whose devotion is well known, not a
few are compelled by diminution of
revenue to petition the Apostolic See
to reduce the number of Masses.
We therefore, again laying a grave"
burden on the conscience of those who
in this manner do not fulfil their duty,
are strongly impelled by the charity,
towards the souls of the departed,
wherewith We have been inflamed
from boyhood to supply in some wise,
as far as in Us lies, the suffrages
omitted to their great detriment. This
commiseration indeed stirs Us all the
more to-day, when, the torches of a
most calumitous was having been
applied to almost all Europe, We per
ceive almost before Our eyes such a
multitude of men, in the flower of
their age, succumb to premature death
in battle to purify their souls, though
the piety of kindred be not lacking,
who will say nevertheless that it is
equal to the need? But since by the
divine counsel We have been made the
common father of all, We wish, with
paternal bounty, to make Our children
who have passed away, who for Us
are most dear and most desired, par
take abundantly of the treasures ac
cumulated from the merits of Jesus
Christ.
Therefore, having invoked the en
lightenment of heavenly Wisdom and
consulted some of the Fathers Cardi
