ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS

Mrs. M. C.—l suppose people think it is by way of a joke that the editor assures his readers regularly that he has nothing to do with the business side of the Tablet. J. W. (Georgetown).—His name is not found in the Catholic Who's Who. That is the only information we have on the subject. "Reader" asks on what day did Good Friday fall in the year 1850. We can only assure "Reader" that it followed Holy Thursday. For the day of the month consult the tables in some old prayerbook. "Reader" can do that as well as we could. J.D. (Taranaki).Knowles Smith said we had attacked the Salvation Army Homes. When challenged he quoted an issue of the Tablet, which he said he had in his possession. No Tabled was ever issued on the date he gave (March 15, 1918). The Lord must love these people dearly ! "Portia."—lt does not matter two brass pennies what a few cranks feel or think or say. The Hierarchy are our guides in Catholic matters. They.are also the best judges as to what matters are Catholic. Therefore, no matter what imported Canadians say, as far as we are concerned the position is this: the Prohibition movement is disapproved by the bishops of the Catholic Church. And if you do not heed the Church we must look on you as a—• publican.
