CHURCH AND STATE
A POSSIBLE COMPROMISE. NOTIFICATIONS BY LAYMEN SUFFICIENT. VATICAN'S INSTRUCTIONS TO FRENCH CLERUY. Received Uth, 11.24 ]i.m. Paris, December 14. There is some prospect of the Government willingly accepting notification from two laymen in each parish, instead of from the clergy, thus legalising services and avoiding ropression. which they view with repugnance.
Cardinal Merry Del VaPs letter con veying the Pope's instruction to tie clergy regarding the law of 1881 con tained the following: "Abstain fion all formalities or the present."' Tin Vatican declares the French clergi were ordered to refrain from making the declaration prescribed by the \a\\ of 1881.. not owing to the dcelaratioi itself, but toother regulations embodied in M. Briand's circular.
