Petersburg Council Revokes Gift to Catholic School

THE city Council of Petersburg, Va., recently voted $1,000 to the school of St. Joseph’s church, at the request of the priest. Some of the citizens, not relishing this perversion of the public funds, served an injunction on the Council to prevent their paying it. The priest, fearing public agitation if the matter was pressed, wisely declined the gift, and the Council has revoked its ill-considered action.—Christian Weekly.
