credit to our Catholicity instead of a suggestion of our incapability. Several instances were given of the dire failure to heed the laws of fitness in constructing sacred edifices.

The writer of the paper finally suggested that, as the knowledge of the priest in future has to be measured in great degree by his training as a seminarian in the present, instruction should be given, formally or informally, to the ecclesiastical students. in regard to the broad outlines at least of Christian architecture.

DISCUSSION.

The Conference agreed on the value of the suggestions in Father Hoctor's paper, which were along new lines. The feasibility of introducing some teaching of the sort into the seminary was considered a matter worthy of study, but no definite plan or course suggested itself. One thing that is possible in nearly every seminary is to surround the students with reproductions of masterpieces of Christian art, by which a taste for artistic beauty may be awakened and cultivated, crude and false taste destroyed, and a desire for the beauty of God's house installed. Something similar may be accomplished by lectures on art, particularly if illustrated.
