The Pastoral Letter of His Ex- cellency Bishop O'Sulllvan was read at the morning services in St. Dunstanb Basilica and the Holy Redeemer Church yesterday.

“For weary months," the Letter states, “we have been listening to lamentzttlons over the financial de- i pression which has fallen upon our. l country. The busncss world is deeply anxious about its welfare and ls excited and alarmed when it sees its prospects thwarted, its dreams of conquest shattered and its rizhcs dwindling avroy.

Warning is given in the Letter that the trend of modern thought has boon, for years past, to neglect God in considering‘ questions of right and wrong, setting up purely subjective standards of conduct, or making science or civil arbiter of morals so that many arc losing that sense of reverence for God as the omnipoteiit Scrutiniz- er of their must one day render nu account of their earthly existence.
