the prophets of the past had their spiritual successors in the clergy of to-day.Mr.Horsey declar +d that the clergyman obtained noi his of fice by inheritance, he was not chosen from any particular family, nor because ot any class distinctions or of rank or wealth.The only necessary thing was the call of God and wherever the spirit impelled the messenger he came with a heart responsive to the call, seeking the sanction of the Church and the- ordma- tion of the Bishop.The clergy, continued Mr.Horsey.\u2018with a specialiste knowledge of God yet adapting that knowledge to the needs of men and women, from among whom they come and whom they understand.must apply eter nal principles of divine life to the lives of a twentieth century weople.\u2019 Bishop Carmichael cot ducted the con- sceration of the candidates.who were regented to him by his examining chap: ain, the Rev.1.1.Horsey.There were two candidates for deacon\u2019s orders and two for those of privst.William David Armitage, of Shawville.and Cyrus Wesley Palmer Baugh, who comes from England, were admitted to the diaconate, while the Rev.James Henry Brown, an Englishman.aad the Rev.Ernest Edward Dawson, wbo wa valedictorian last April at the Montroul Diocesan College, entered the priesthood.Mr.Armitage i= stationed at Bolton.Mr.Baugh at Thome and Leslie, Mr.Rrown at (Clarendon.and Mr.Dawson at Kildare.JOLIETTE CATHOLICS RECEIVE HONORS FROM RETULN- ING BISHOP, Bishop Archambault.où Joliette, was given an ¢nthusiastic reception upon his arrival in his episcopal town yesterday afternoon.A procession escorted him to the Cathedral, where addresses were presented in the name of the clergy and citizens.In his reply, the Bishop announce | that Vicar-General Beaudry had been made a .loman prelate, with the 1: tyle of Monsigneur; Mayor Tellier a Knight of the Order of Pins 1X.and Mr.A.Gervais, editor of the \u2018Etoile du Nord,\u201d and Mr.Lencourt, ex-Papal Zcuave, had be:n given the papal cross of honor.0\" FRANCE AND BRITAIN PROGRESS OF THE NEW PAIGN OF FRIENDSHIP.Paris, Dec.24.-\u2014The Associated Press has obtained some interesting Information regarding the progrezs of Anglo- French relations which led to the re cent erroneous reports that the entente of 1901 had beeen supplemented by a military or naval convention.Mutual co-operation on sea and land in the face CAM- of an aggressive move against either is regarded as assured both at the Qual d'Orsay and in Downing street.The machinery of diplomacy bas, however, been scrupulously avoided in the ac complishment of this result.No notes or drafts of conventions have been exchanged.Nothing has passed through the only channels recognized by governments as qualified to bind countries which could be challenged by Germany as aimed at her \u2018isolation.Nevertheless, in a eubtler and quite as effective fashion, the combination against Germany.so far as France and England are concerned, can be considered an accomplished fact.The other ramifications of the diplomacy.which is called in England the policy of \u2018binding Germany cver to keep the \u2018peace\u2019 (which includes the Russian-linghsh entente, the cementing of closer relations between Spain and England, and the weaning away of Italy from the triple alliance! are also making progress.lt wae regarded as preferable to lay the basis of mutual support primarily in a broad and deep Friendship between the two peoples.The \u2018entente vordial= adjusting outstanding differences had no sooner been signed than the campaign of friendship was inaugurated.All kinds of visits were exchanged, furnishing occasions for celebrating the new found friendship, and now a great Anglo-French exhibiticn in London has been planned for 1908.Matters had reached such a stage during the Morocco crisis that England's physical as well asx diplomatic support was certain had the sword been unsheathed.At that time the military and naval au thorities of the two countries were in communication, and after the crisis had passed they proceeded to work out \u2018in a purely technical fashion.\u201d plans of cooperation by land and sea to meet ver- tain eventualities.So intimate had the relations hetween the military departments of the two countries become last summer that General French, the chief of the English mission, detailed to attend the French manoeuvres, was admitted to the conferences of the Freneh encral staff during the manoeuvres, and NAT istened.if he did not participate, In the discussions.- - J Monpar, Drcewser 24, 100° \u2014 TELE \u2014\u2014 LEACH PIANO COMPANY Ltd.\u2014\u2014 Wish their I'riends and Patrons A PERRY XMAS \u201c BRUNEAU & CO.caumilv l'ulford Wish Their Numerous Happy Xmas and CHOICE XMAS GROCERIES.Grocéers.and =t.James.Patrons and Friends a a Good New Year.Corner Open till 14 p.m.MORAL TRAINING IN THE SCHOOLS TF urs, In oseli®ng vont furs we 6 \u2014_\u2014 mteresl de nich a ve Me gnarantes UNE sb CHAS.DESJARDINS A CHT.455 :o 491 St Corner #.Timothy sirect AMERICAN BRANCH OF NEW 0- CIETY ORGANIZED AT OHICAGO.Chicago.Dec, 24\u2014In England.Fan Germany.Switzeriand.ltaly and the Catherine ste 1 United States there has been a steadily F1 Bet: : 1536 growing impression that the sehools are 1537 not being as well utilize a~ they nd =\u2014\u2014\u2014 be for lhe purpose of moral traming 1 , ; NE and development of citizenship.A cone had eut np and burnest che bo ference lo consider the whale matter ehaldren moa big stone Homes was held in London last autumn, results [OF the mudwite\u2019s ressens !
