FRANCE
HEARTLESS ROBBERY. In the year 1881 (says the Glasgow Observer) the clergy of. the diocese of Tulle opened a fund in aid of aged and infirm priests. The fund prospered through the generous help of the laity. When the Law of Disestablishment of the Church was passed in the French Parliament in 1905, the fund had a capital of 274,000 francs. The Government lost no time in seizing this money that had been contributed for the poor, sigh, and aged priests. Since 1906 the soldiers of Christ have been deprived of the succors that are indispensable to them. The administrators of the fund have carried their case from one Court to another, with the result that the whole capital is frittered away in law expenses.
