Whatever be the imperfections of human agents, is there not enough in all this to make us behold the working of a Divine and supernatural power? Should we not each, in our several spheres, labour and pray for reconciliation and unity--the adjustment of differences--the mutual understanding of Christendom? One alone can do this--let it be our first and last request to Him. "O Thou, who doest all things whereby to bring again our race to Thee, that it may be partaker of Thy divine nature and eternal glory; who hast borne witness to the truth of Thy Gospel by many and various wonders, in the ever-memorable converse of Thy Saints, in their supernatural endurance of torments, in the overwhelming conversion of all lands to the obedience of faith, without might, or persuasion, or compulsion;-- end the schisms of the Churches, quench the haughty cries of the nations, restore the wanderers, knit them to Thy Holy Catholic Apostolic Church, and receive us all into Thy kingdom, acknowledging us as Sons of Light; and Thy peace and love vouchsafe to us, O Lord our God."

OBJECT OF THE SEMINARY. "Ye see your calling." 1 Cor. i. 26. The seminarist who desires faithfully to fulfil his duties, and to advance in the graces of the seminary, never forgets that the object for which he has gone there is to become a holy priest, and to acquire the virtues and the knowledge necessary to the Lord's ministers. "Let seminaries be instituted for the education of the clergy in piety, religion, and ecclesiastical discipline."-_Council of Trent._ This general object of the seminary includes the following particular objects:--
