AntlxGambllng Decree.
PARIS. Sept. 14(Speclat) For tha
present matters as between church and
state are In a condition of suspense.
There will be no further movement
until December, when the question of
the leasing of the churches by the
bishops will come under discussion.
At present the churches are open, and
the priests permitted to say mass, but
It is entirely on sufferance. At any
moment the government could close
the churohes, and there is little doubt
It would if It were not afraid to rouse
. the French people by such an extreme
step to open revolt.
- It has offered to lease them to the
bishops, but on the " understanding
that the latter should keep them in
order. As under the concordat the
Minister of Publlo Worship was bound
to keep them in proper order and re
pair, but failed for the past 25 years to'
do so, the amount of money necessary
to effect repairs on the huge churches
of Paris, such as St. Bulpice, Notre
Dame and the Madeleine, and on the
cathedral of other towns, and to keep
them fit for public service in the
future, would be entirely beyond the
means of the Church of France. They
are government property, and the
bishops will not lease them unless
they are put and kept in repair. The
government is, therefore, on the horns
of a dilemma. It dare not close them
entirely, and the prelates will not ac
cept them under the conditions offered.
Why Leases Were Refused. ,
An attempt was made some time
since to form associations of laymen
to lease them on behalf of the church,
but the bishops refused to sanction the
project, and the Pope entirely con
demned it. It would lead to many
abuses. The priests would find their
hands more tied in inany cases than
before. Any noisy man, possibly a
politician, getting himself elected on
one of these committees could give in
finite trouble. In other countries it
has occasionally happened that a man -well-meaning,
but cranky, acting on a
committee for the improvement of a
school or church, has been able to
give a good deal of trouble. Here they
would not be well-meaning, and the
bishops wisely refused to countenance
these associations.
The French are a wealthy and generous
people, and, now that the clergy are left
to look to them for support, they will
accord it freely. It will take some little
time, because they have not been accus
tomed to priests voluntarily supported, as
In Ireland; but they will come to learn
their duties in that respect very soon, and
will discharge them generously. At the
present moment they contribute to the
funds for the propagation of the faith
more than all the rest of Europe put to
gether. In the palmy days of the church
In France, before the Revolution, they
had S0000 foreign missionaries. Tbey have
now 87,000. This statement is almost in
credible, but statistics bear it out.
Great Revival of Religion.
The French have a character for being
volatile and sincere and earnest about
nothing (except la the dangerous times of
war), and that is fairly correct. They
certainly make no violent open protesta
tions of religion, but they are far from
being an Irreligious people. It is not
quite easy for a stranger to understand
this or to know the Influences which
sway them. For example, in a street not
far from where this letter Is written there
Is a family of great wealth, old name and
long descent. It is a street of palaces,
and theirs Is the finest mansion in it.
There are three sons there, lead
ers of fashion in this city,
and a leader of Parisian socie
ty Is very much of the world. Indeed.
No one would ascribe to them very deep
thoughts of religion. Tet there were
seven children of that family originally,- -and
the four eldest are In the church, and
serving as missionaries in the East.
A new life is growing even in Paris. As
a result. Cardinal Richard has had to es-
tabllsh 19 new parishes in this city. At
some of . the masses In the city, the
churches, numerous and huge as they are,
cannot accommodate the worshipers. So
much has the religious spirit in Paris de-
veloped that one cure, a man of large
private means, is erecting in the Rue Mai-,
akoff, not far from the parish church, a
new one for the accommodation of his
people.
Anti-Gambling Boomerang.
Ajiotber governmental decree has been
a perfect boomerang. This Is M. Clemen
ceau's new regulation of gambling in
France. It has proved a disaster for the
oaslnoa of French watering-places, and a
wail has gone up that would melt a
harder heart than that of M. Clemenceau
Vichy, Biarrltx, Aix-les-Bams, .Contrexe
vljle, Trouville, Dieppe, Dlnard and a
score of other fashionable resorts have
sent delegates to meet In congress in
Paris, a sort of parliament of the petits
chevaux.
The present situation Is 4 typical ex
ample of "aiming' at the heron and bring
ing down the goose." There is at Oetendi
a M. Marquet, the owner of the great
gambling establishment in that Belgian,
watering-place. When the new law reg
ulating associations In France was passed,
IS. Marquet was of the opinion that as
sociations for gambling could easily be
organized. As he is a multi-millionaire,
he promptly Invaded French territory and
dotted down gambling establishments in.
various centers. Hla most ambitious
scheme was the erection of & magnificent
casino on the frontier of Monaco, a few
kilometres from the world-famous casino
of Monte Carlo. This was not to the
taste of the Soclete des Mains de Mer
(this. Is the harmless sounding name of
the company owning the gambling-rooms),
and It promptly began to use Its Influ
ence, .which is very great, to get M.
Marquet's project nipped in the bud, M.
Edmond Blanc, the millionaire sportsman
