"Buying of Women."

By her defence, no matter what it cost, of the freedom of individuals who are contracting parties to marriage, she has always protested, and will protest against the buying and selling of women. in marriage.

"The Catholic Church, in this in-

The colonists selected for installation were sold their farms at-El arare and advanced £200 for the purchase of a chinery and live stock. They have 35 years in which to pay for the land, while the instalments covering equipment are spread over 15 years.

Forty Scottish and Irish families which had been living in cottages on Red Deer reservation moved to farms last spring, and thus began the permanent colony of Clan Donald.

Now all the farms āre occupied and Clan Donald in a going concern. They work together in amity. The help each other in fencing and breaking new land. They are shipping milk and cream. in large quantities to the Vermilion co-operative creamery. Above all, they are happy and cheerful, and the young people already show marked improve ment in education and general adaptability.

Thrify Scots,

The thrifty Scots character is certing itself. Already the crofters realise that their farms have risen in value, for the mere fact that a community has been established has enhanced the value of all other land in the region.

The second colony of Hebrideans and Northern Irish will come into existence next spring at Saddle Lake, near Bt. Paul de Metis, in Northern Alberta. Buildings are now being erected on: 50

farms.

Bishop Duan finally defends the right of the Vatican to pass judgment on the Marlborough marriage because “it is not legislating for civil effects" bat "merely counselling the followers of Christ in matters of conscience.”

* Ravings."

- Archbishop Curley's comment is far more personal. He says, "I am not in- terested in dakes or worried about the ravings of Dr. Manning. There is no one more careful about marriages than Rome. She is sure of her ground before acting and does not concern herself about the criticism of Protestant Episcopal bishops'
