'CATHOLIC MARRIAGES '

FURTHER APPRECIATIONS

From the Archbishop of Wellington- , We have been favored with the following kind communication from his Grace the Archbishop of Wellington and Metropolitan of New Zealand in reference to the ' Tablet ' book, ' Catholic Marriages ' :— Wellington, . May 22, 1908. { My dear Father Cleary, ' The priests and the Catholic body generally are much indebted to you for your interesting, very instructive, and most useful book on " Catholic Marriages "." -I trust it will have a large circulation. Please send me two dozen copies. The composition of the book shows a good deal of most painstaking labor, and its publication is most opportune, containing, as it does, the very information required by

both Catholics and non-Catholics in connection with the late legislation on marriage.— Yours faithfully, >£ FRANCIS REDWOOD, S.M., Abp. of Wellington.'

What a Jewish Rabbi Says. We have been favored with the following, communication from the Rev. A. T. Chodowski, of the Synagogue, Dunedin :—: — ' Dear Father Clear y, Through the kindness of a friend LJiave had the pleasure of reading your b.ook on " Catholic Marriages ", and as I lay it aside I- can do no less than offer my compliments and thanks for what I must call an able and scholarly -exposition of the Catholic teaching in regard to marriage. - Personally, I think it is a great mistake to make attacks upon doctrines which govern the consciences of fellow-men. Your book has, I think, fully vindicated the Church's position, and should put to silence any other critics of the Pope's decree. I have specially to thank you for your references to the purity and simplicity of Jewish family life. Believe me, dea~r Father Cleary, Yours faithfully, A. T. CHODOWSKI.'
