' and got the following answer : All friars are monks, but all monks are not friars, except in the etymological sense of the word friar. Friar is an English word derived from the Norman ' frere,' which means « brother.' But usage has made the term friar applicable solely to certain mendicant Orders, or begging Orders. There are four Orders of friars : Franciscans, or Friars Minor* • - Dominicans, or ■ Friars Major; Carmelites, and Aueiis-^ tinians. The first are known, as Gray Friars, the second as Preaching Friars, the third as White Friars •and the fourth as Austin Friars. But each member of these Orders is also called a monk, and his home is popularly called, a monastery. The members of religious congregations as Jesuits, Passionists- Paulists Pedemptonsts, are also called monks, more often reeuJars, but never friars. Members, however, of the Orders or congregations or societies Who are not' in Or- * ders are called Brothers, but custom has never given them the title friars. '
