The French Persecution
A dose of persecution often serves as a tonic to the moral system., 'The remarkable vitality of Catholicism in France,' says the Literary Digest, 'is shown by the manner in. which it has so far withstood -all efforts to •secularise its administration. It has overcome many of the difficulties occasioned by the confiscation- o£ ecclesiastical buildings- and the abolition of the Ecclesiastical Budget which the Concordat of Napoleon^ I. provided for. New churches are^ springing up by hundreds, and over these the SFate can exercise no 'more power than" it exercises over" a citizen's private property.' "~
