Our Church has declared in its Confessions that ordination is a public ratification of a call to a Christian congregation; we should therefore not ordain such as have no such call. -Again, if a person has by instruction been prepared for confirmation by a pastor of a church in St. Louis and intends to become a member of that church, we are sure that it has never entered anybody's mind that such a person should be confirmed in one of our churches in Philadelphia, merely in order that the home folks there may witness his confirmation; we have, however, often heard of home folks and relatives and friends coming to the confirmation service of that church with which the person who is being confirmed is affiliating. Even so it is improper that a candidate who has been called to some congregation in South Dakota and has accepted that call should be ordained in one of our congregations somewhere in Michigan, simply because the home folks are there and would like to witness his ordination. Our Ohurch has declared in its Oonfessions that ordination is a public ratification of a call to a Ohristian congregation, and therefore our pr3ctise oug'ht in every j'espect to conform to this accepted usage of the term. Only in this sense can our Chureh lay down certain rules in reference to ordination, which should by us be observed although they are per se not binding upon the consciencc. 'vVe should be careful that we do not turn liberty into license; wc should not by a careless practise confuse the minds of our people or even instil into their minds wrong ideas. J OllN II. O.

Shetmann. Roman Church Law and Mixed Marriages. * The Papal Encyclical and Its Roman Interpretation. A. What Pope Pius XI Says on Mixed Marriages. "The religious character of marriage, its sublime signification of grace, and the union between Ohrist and the Ohurch evidently requires that those about to marry should show a holy reverence towards it and zealously endeavor to make their marriage approach as nearly as possible to the archetype of Ohrist and the Ohurch. "They therefore who rashly and heedlessly contract mixed marriages, from which the maternal love and providence of the Ohurch dissuades her children for very sound reasons, fail conspicuously in this respect, sometimes with danger to their eternal salvation. This * The two documents here printed from authentic sources present the subject of mixed marriages according to official declarations of the present Pope, Pius XI, and its interpretation by an acknowledged Roman Catholic spokesman. The section of the encyclical of December 31, 1930, is taken from the book Four Great Encyolioals of the Paulist Press, 101 f., and the discussion of mixed marriages on the basis of this encyclical and previous statements, by W. 1. Lonergan, S. J., is taken from the periodical America, April 23, 1932. Cf. Readers' Digest of June, 1932, pp. 66 and 69. The italicized sections are so indicated by us. Every reader may readily make his own applications. -Edit. Oomm.
