Converts

The Oxford Movement flung wide a door that had long been opened only intermittently, and the many converts that passed through it made a well-beaten path to the portals of the Catholic Church. Thq movement still keeps on. Our American exchanges received by the last mail by Vancouver give the names of nineteen clergymen of the Protestant Episcopalian Church that have, within the past few months, been received into the Catholic fold, or^ are under instruction to be received back into the unity of the faith. One' of the neo-converts (Episcopalian Archdeacon Russell J. Wilbur, of the diocese 'of Fond dv Lac) says that ' quite an exodus of the clergy of the Episcopal Church is going on at the present time '. Among the most recent, converts in England is the Marquis of Queensberry, who was received into the Church a Jew weeks ago.
