jnany people think it i, to a nun's exhortn
tiunH, or arguments, or wli.ituvov ho puts
forth, to hid him look at homo, o to clmr.ro
him with hypocrisy I'caiuse liis own (ouduct
iM not nlways in exact conformity with his
own doctrine. Hypocrisy in tho Ktrict sense,
conscious and deliberate pi'nl,nno m nv.xt ters
f devotiou and morality, is, we RtiHpeet, a
much rarer vice .than poople think. At
itll events it is a chiu-o which, as one ;asy to
luing and hard to disprove, ought not to be
l,voni;ht ngainwl any man without very nlrong
grounds. Inconsistency, Kelf-dolusiou, mere
irreeolution and weakness, the mere imper
fection, in short, of hunmn nature, go a long
way to account for a great deal which is often
ronghly Rot down as hypocrisy.
The clergyman with whose story we started,
whatever else he was, was at all events not a
hypocrite. His vices were known to himself
and to everybody else; they were openly
avowed: though he acknowledged the excel
lence of virtue and recommended it to the
practice of others, he made no pretense of
practising it himself. Self-dolusion in such
case is quite possible, but for hypocrisy
there is clearly no room. But suppose that,
instead of impudently avowing his vices, he
had simply practised them in secret. Snp
poBO that it was suddenly found out that a
man who had always preached good morality,
and was supposed always to have practised it,
was really a drunkard, an adulterer, n gam
bler, or whatever the vice may be. We sup
pose that most people would ry out, What n
hypocrite that man has been ! Yet the
chances are very strongly against his being
what they mean by a hypocrite. What they
mean is that, without any real feeling
of virtue and piety, lie pretended to
virtue and piety simply for the sake
of the gain or reputation which they
might bring him. One may doubt whether
this is necessarily tho New Testament sense
of the word hypocrite: it is certainly not the
necessary explanation el' such a case as we
have supposed. A hypocrite, in tho original
Dense of the word, is an actor, and it is quite
possible that, in its New Testament use, it
may often r i'ei to eondnei which may be
fairly spoken of as noting, but which is cer
tainly not hypocrisy in (be vulgar sense. John
"Wesley bade 0110 of his preachers to preach a
certain doctrine. The preacher had his
doubts and scruple. : he could not sny that ho
fnlly believed tho doctrine, "l'rec.ch it till
you do believe it," was Wesley'. ansver. We
may be mire that Wesley did not mean to bid
any one to act in a dishonest or what is com
monly railed a hypocritical v:iy. But he cer
tainly required his disciple, to act in a highly
artificial way: he called upon him to act a part,
to be in the strict sense a t'xih rlte. Wesley
no doubt looked on believing as wholly 11
moral and not at ull as an intellectual process,
and he bade a man to learn to believe rightly
by believing rightly, as he would have bidden
him to learn to act rightly by acting rightly.
Still he was bidding a man to act as if he be
lieved what as yet he did nut believe a pro
cess which differs only in tho motive from
the act of him who pretends belief
for the sake of gain or reputation. So
in many other chsos, men throw them
selves into artificial slates of
mind, which are put on as it were to order,
which often prove only temporary, but which
still are put on in good faith. What we call
making the best 01 a bad bargain olten takes
this form. A man finds himself in a sot of
circumstances which are not of his own
choosing: he is forced to a lino of conduct
width is distinctly against the grain. lie is
called on to do something which up to that
time has been against his feelings, perhaps !
against his conscience. In such a case he j
often tries to persuade himself that the un
avoidable course is not only a righteous, but '
a pleasant course. He makes an eiTort and
throws himself into the thing; his voice is
louder, his arm is more forward, than tho
arms and tho voices of those to whom tho
course which to him is new is a matter of
long habit or of old-standing conviction.
The zeal of new converts has a good deal of
this element in it; they have consciously to
act a part, while those who are before them
are acting naturally and unconsciously; they
therefore commonly overdo matters.
Or a man has to maintain a po
sition about which he has moral doubts.
Jn such a case it commonly happens that
he will be more confident and more inclined
to talk big than the man who never had any
doubts at all. He is trying not only to per
huade others, but to persuade himself at tho
same time. When a man changes his side in
politics or religion, we often hear of his loud
professions of unalterable faithfulness to the
old cause almost up to the moment of his
forsaking it for tho new. A cry is generally
raised against him as if his professions were
imply Hypocritical, as if he was simply try
ing to lay suspicion at rest after his own mind
is made up and while ho is only waiting for a
convenient moment to carry out his plan of
desertion. And no doubt it often has been
bo. But it certainly is not so as a matter of
course. It is just as likely that ho is on the
very edge, of making up his mind, but that he
Las not yet made it up. As long as he has
not mado it up, as long as ho has any doubt,
as long as the old system has any chance at
all with him, he trios to satisfy himself even
more than to satisfy others by talking louder
man ever on us nenau.
In all these cases a man is certainly acting
an a hypocrite in the etymological sense. He
is consciously acting a part, a part which
is not natural to him, a part which involves
Home degree of moral or intellectual incon
sistency. But it does not at all follow that
lie is a hypocrite in the worst souse, lie is
tampering with his conscience, he is trying
to guide his conscience in a certain direc
tion, rather than wilfully disobeying his con
science. A hypocrite 111 the worst sense
either wilfully disobeys his conscience, or else
lias stifled the voice of conscience altogether.
And it is strange how easy it is for a man to
turn his conscience and his belief in a cer
tain way. Take tho case of forced conversions,
such as we read of in the history of the
Mahometan conqnests, or in that of tho
vanelization of . Germany and Scandi
navia by Christian emperors and kings.
It often happened that tho man
who embraced Mahoinetanism or Chris
tianity simply to save his life lived ever
after as a very good Mahometan or a
very good Christian, sometimes even as a
zealous champion and missionary of bis new
faith. Were such men hypocrites? We feel
aire that in their later stages they were quit
sincere, that they had in a manner worked

J'.ut wh;.t wit t). ;. stiile of mind when they

relapsed; tl;ry e:l'uer were shamming at the
time of their pioi'e.ision, or eiso tho .irtiiicial
excitement wore off, and they fell back on
their former and more natural st.ite of mind.
But there are i;iul'i cases enough of compul
Mry coinevls denying st caddy to their new
faith to show Unit, the state of mind which
we have isnpposud is not an impossible one.
We may now change the venue from mat
ters ( f belief to mat ters of morals, and take
the ruse which we put before of a detected
tinner. We have known such rases; and we
have known the outcry nn-de. What, a hypo
crite he is! Now there is really no need to
rail him anything of the kind. It is very
likely that he simply is, what most men are
more or less, inconsistent and imperfect. He
has a conscience, but he, does not always
obey it. Ho knows what is right; he says, if
need be he teaches, what is right; but ho does
not always follow his own precepts. Wo are
not. defending him: we are only saying that
his fault is a different fault from that of hypo
crisy. To have a conscience, but not always
to obey it, is, in different degrees, the moral
state of the vast mass of mankind. It is the
state of all save (wo suppose) a few unusually
saintly people at on end, and (we suppose)
a few desperately wicked ones at tho other
end. To be very inconsistent and very im
perfect, and to be aware of one's inconsistency
and imperfection, whatever it is, is cerlaiuly
not hypocrisy. Steele was no hypocrite whi n
he wrote the "Christian Hero." leading a
vicious life, and wishing to cure himself of
his vices, he took tho somewhat strange
means of sJiaming himself by writing and
publishing a book in which he described a
model of ideal piety and virtue. Such a
course directly drew attention to his vices.
But neither would he necessarily have been a
hypocrite if ho had striven to hide his vices
from tho world. It is rather hard to say that
a nian.is pretending to be better than he is
simply because he does not wish his imper
fections to be found out. To lake a very
strong case, we could never quite join in t ho
outcry against the l'apal Legate in Henry the
First's time who bavanguod against the mar
riage of the clergy in the morning and was
caught in a very discreditable position in (lie
evening. Wo ore far from defending him;
all we say is that his sin of the evening does
not prove his zeal ' of the morning
to have been insincere. 'py, ho miyUt
possibly have argued "I acknowledge
my transgression and I regret it; I am ever
and anon carried away by the strength of n:y
passions; but meanwhile I am zealously
serving the Church. But you married priests
are always thinking of your wives and chil
dren, and do nut servo the Church at all.''
The weaknesses and inconsistencies of men
are endless: let them have all (heir fair .share
of blame; but let them not be indiscrimi
nately called by a name which does not be
long to all of them. A man is guilty of a
pnrticular vice who is, perhaps, an enthusiast
against some other ioe very likely not worse
than his own. Let him have the fair measure
of blame for his own error, but do not let
his zeal for virtue in another quarter bo set
down as insincere. Let him not even be
suspected of trying to atone for the vices
to which ho is inclined by abstaining from
those to which he, is not inclined. Nay, more,
men's minds and consciences are often
so strangely twisted, there is such a power
of what Air. Lecky calls '"localizing'' princi
ples and feelings, that a man will be indig
nant against this or that form of a particular
vice while he practises other forms of it with
out scruple. Such a man is llagrantly incon
sistent; we should press the point of his in
consistency as a special aagument to convince
him, but wo should riot think of charging
him with insincerity simply because he is in
consistent and imperfect. We have often
heard, and we have always been pained to
hear, really good actions attributed to bad
motives simply because the life of tho actor
was open to objection on other grounds. We
will not enter into the theological nature of
sin, and the doctrine that ho who offends in
one point is guihy of all. Such is at least
not the doctrine of natural morality, which
certainly welcomes whatever is good in any
man, even though it may be mixed up with
much that is bad.
All the cases which we have mentioned
Beein to us quite distinct from hypocrisy in
the usual sense. In tho former class of cases,
where a man is certainly acting an artificial,
though not necessarily a dishonest, part, the
word may be applied in a certain sense. To
cases of mere inconsistency and imperfection,
however glaring, it should not be applied at
all. Strict hypocrisy, the conscious and de
liberate pretense to virtues which a man has
not and does not care to have, is, we suspect,
much rarer than people commonly think.
PEKE HYAC1XTHE.
IIIh Expected Arrival.
With the arrival of Father Hyacinthe, whoso
departure from Franco is announced by cable,
we shall have a new sensation. Tho great
question will remain to bo decided, With
what ecclesiastical body will he affiliate? With
which of the great modern reformers does he
compare? Though really in rebellion against
the Tope, will it be either possible or expe
dient to throw himself directly into the arms
of l'rotestantism? A contemporary remarks
as follows:
How much of absolute pluck and enduring
courage may we expect from him? So far, ho
has only published a formal letter against the
forthcoming (Ecumenical 'Council in Borne,
its commissions, and intent. The reverend
father asserts that in his opinion the assem
bled prelates, with tho Tope presiding, will
attempt to execute a divorce between tho
Church and the progressive liberalism of the
present century, and forcibly characterises
tho attempt, even the idea of such an
attempt, as at once impious and foolish.
The and tho Sleek; neither of them
controlled by church influences, speak
of the letter as a sign of tho times and
destined to exert a great influence. The
Journal (hit Dclititx holds a similar tone. Tho
real question is whether Father llyacintho
reully deserves the position and connection to
which we have ashigned him. He has some
thing of tho veheineuce of Luther: none of
the mild, gentle, and persuasive force of
llelancthon: none of the acerbitv of Calvin:
. much, perhaps, of the enduring soul of La
mennais, which fought out its own battle in a
I somniy ana nnshnven death-bed. whose cofl u
1 went to no church, over whose grave no dirge
! was sung nor cross was raised, bnt whose
pure soul could face its Maker and its only
Master. He was a Protestant revolting
against numan dictation only a godly man
worshipping God through the Bible and reve'-
reucing his own soul.
A Clerical Nuuworter A t.e In Poi.
The following letter has befcn addressed to
ftinur a vftvilitue by Jom Ueij i'iiliers,
tx-lkiieiiictir.e Superior and founder of the
Abbey ot Air y:-
J.Iy Much Honored Hrotlier in oar Iord:
tiod be praised for 1h ing granted you the
strength to loudly confess, beforo Him and
before men. the truth of the cause that is
drawing the Church with r.ipid strides to its
destruction. The upright i.iimK rllliclcd by
the evils of Israel, are grateful towards you
for your action, and by iu iuet. rally aro.ind
'a preacher of tho (inspclwho dares to offer
such an example to their timidity. I'm
my part 1 am happy lo tell you so, and 1
have come to to so, too. Being made a
prieftt of the Boumn Church when twenty
three years of age, at twenty-five I entered
upon the cloister life, which to my mind was
the type of Christian perfection. My acception
wos great. After many struggles, many
tw inges, 1 had ultimately, in order not to sacri
fice my upright conscience, to fall out with my
superior, General Dom Gueranger, the leader
of the above-mentioned, who had written me
as follows: "When a thing is intimated yon
have but to acknowledge it. Yon
are not responsible for anything, and I an
swer for all. My errors will not bo imputed
to you. Your conscience is safe."
Such a doctrine renders tho inferior but a
blind serf, irresponsible before God for his
personal actions. Therefore, like you, I pro
tested. I renew my protest before the Coun
cil, the highest ami last tribunal here below,
before which I can bring my cause. After
exhausting the local ecclesiastical jurisdic
tions, who honored me, some by silence,
others by insnlts and threats, order
ing me to submit myself to tho
iniquity, under pain ofi nfotuy, I, guided by
my artless faith, addressed myself to Pius IX.
My letter of March was filial and full
of abandonment. In order to make it more
confidential I had added the words, "To be
delivered personally. Important and very
particular matters of conscience." This was
equal to a sacramental confession. I had
sealed it with five seals, and placed it in an
other, addref sed to the intimato Secretary of
Pins IX, begging him to place the enclosure
in the hands of his Holiness, personally, who
alone should know the contents, in considera
tion of the niojor importance and particu
larly of the matters of conscience and tho
personages thereby brought into question.
March L'.'t the secretary of Pius IX wrote to
rifsnre mo that he had himself placed the
letter in the hands of his Holiness, who would
read it in duo course. I prayed a great deal,
and waited patiently, full of confidence in
him who proclaimed himself the Vicar f
Jesus Christ and the common Father of the
faithful. For eight months I remained with
out news. At last I learned from eye wit
nesses that in full of all justification Pins IX
has sent, that confidential document, that con
fession of all my feelings, to my most bitter
enemies. On November L't, I demanded
their replies. On tho L'2d a vicar-general
wrote me fron) St. Claude: "His High
ness confines himself to the communica
tion of his orders and those of the Holy
See. That is all that yonr obedience re
quires you to know. By acting thus his High
ness complies with the orders received from
the Holy See, and has to render no account to
you. On the L'-ah 1 replied that, in order to
obey reasonably, according to that maxim of
St. Paid, rittiutiahllf ohxtfjuirii, my con
science required some enlightenment on the
subject of the provoking doenmeuts contain
ing the orders from Borne, and that if 1 did
not receive an exact and authentic copy, 1
should lie obliged to renounce all nopos of a
conciliation, which I have never ceased to im
plore by ull my vows. On the L'.uth, in a let
ter strewn with epithets familiar to an abso
lute autocracy who experiences resistance, tho
Bishop wrote me: "Monseignenr will give
you no communication. qu
Iris part, as on the part of the Holy
See, he owes you orders, direction, and cor
rections; ou your part, towards yonr superiors,
it is a matter of submission and pardon, not
of conciliation. Therefore, sir, the docu
ments you ask for will not be forwarded."'
This, my very honored brotner, is the man
ner in -which tho l'opo himself respects tho
conscience of a Christian, of a priest. Now,
if ho is all in the Council, and ii tho bishops,
like myself, are but to receive orders, direc
tions, and, if necessary, corrections, it is easy
to foresee what kind of justice we may expect
from it. Like yourself, I wished to make tho
trial, and if I am deceived, like yon, will I
then cry, "Ad ttniui, JJoni.tr Ji.iu, Uiomud
ttjijuUo.'" Therefore, courage ! On the path
that we have chosen others will follow. Let
the outrage and sarcasm of men, for whom a
word of command of the party forms consci
ence, shower upon us; that is the extent of
their knowledge and of their
argument. For us, strong in our
good right, and faithful to the
maxim of the Apostles "It is bettor to obey
God than man'- let the pharisaism struggle
in hatred. What it leads to is not new.
Christ even raised obstacles against it, flis
word of command not beiug observance of
human traditions, but solely the will of God
His Father; now, that persecuted and put
Christ to death, and the disciples of Jesus
cannot be better treated at present by mod
ern Pharisees than the Master was by their
predecessors. Receive, my very honored
brother, with the homage of my admiration,
the assurance of my respectful and cordial
sympathy. Piekkk pes Pilmees,

MURDEROUS ITALY.
HlntUlics of Crime Kdurnllonnl Defect the
AlevluK Cause.
"When, about a quarter of a century ago,
the patriot Gioberti endeavored, in his
nutto Civile t Morale ikgli Jtalluni, to estab
lish the titles of that gifted race to the fore
most rank in modern civilization, he was
probably (says the London Time) far from
foreseeing that what the Italians would first
achieve, upon regaining full control over
themselves, would be a sad pre-eminence in
crime. There is something absolutely
appalling in the statistical intelligence lately
published by order ' of King Victor Em
manuel's government. In the course of
the year 1SC7 there were no loss
than 'JiiL'G murders committed yvithiu
the king's dominions. Of these, it is true,
2Gi cumo under tho category of "involun
tary homicides," but the remainder were the
work of deliberate assassination. It is thus
reckoned that there were in Italy U murders
for every 1110,000 inhabitants, while the ave
rage in Spain was K for every 100,000 inhabi
tants, in Sweden 'J, and in Belgium 1 every
four years, out of the same number of in
habitants. The homicides for tho whole of
France in the same year, 107, were .'507, and 1
the number of all offenses comuiittod in the
empire against life and property did not ex
ceed ;iii!i4. Thus murder alone attains in
Italy proportions not much less formidable
than those reached in France by crime of
every description. In Kngland and Wales,
with a population nearly equalling that of
Italy, in the year ending in September, IHiS,
tiere were IS) murders recoiled tho
police, being in tho proportion of one to
Hi.lM of the population. The murderers
brought to pnnishmcnt in England and Wales
were L in im;.'., iii in is.n;, mid 'J7 in 1 sf.7,
while the whole of tho offenses against the
per-on amounted for those three years re
upretholy to l;.."!, l.-,nr, and 1 101 that is,
they fell considerably short of half the num
ber of murders in Italy.
It would be vain to try to escape the con
viction which forces itself upon us by throw
ing doubt upon the accuracy of these com
parative figures. The Carabinieri, or police
lorco of tho king loin of Italy, draw np their
reports Willi praiseworthy diligence, nnd they
supply ample evidence that, melancholy as
the budget of crime was in 18(17, it might, bo
taken as "a slight improvement on that of
previous years.'' The Italian Government
deserve praise for their candor in thus laying
bare the worst evils in their body poiilic.
Confession may generally bo taken as a symp
tom of a wish for amendment. Tho Pope
takes good earo to keep all unpleasant know
ledge of that nature to himself. Tho Papal
Government never publish statistics of any
description; but the French, who have a
police of their own nt Home, tell us that w hile
in their own country there is one murderer
over 124, (M) inhabitants, in tho Papal States
there is one over fiiWH inhabitants.
Deplorable as the condition of emancipated
Italy n ay still be, we can look back to no
time in which matters may be thought to
have been better? A certain looseness nnd
violence of temper and an incapacity for local
or moral restraint were characteristic of that
southern nation even in its palmiest days of
media val greatness. By tho side of the
loftiest deeds of their glorious republics there
always occur in their annals such startling
domestic and political tragedies as would cast
even the atrocities of Count Bossi nt Hume,
or of the more recent assassination of the
Countess Cattaneo in a railway carriage near
Isoletta, completely into the shade. These
evil instincts which have, however, common
sources with passions capable of better aims
were suffered for centuries to rankle amid
the debasement to which the Italians were
doomed, and the people's crimes were, not
without reason, imputed to tho corrupting
influence of their religious and civil instruc
tors. The charge is so well grounded that, whil
in Piedmont, in Lombardy, and throughout
the North, the yearly murders do not exceed
four for every 100,000 inhabitants, the ratio
in the Marches in Fimbria and in tho wholo
south is r.O. and in Sicily and Sardinia 'X it
proportion alraostly perfectly in keeping with
that presented by the statistics of education;
for, while in tho whole of Italy out of 170, l"t!
marriages it appcors that there were r7 cases
per cent, in which the bride and bridegroom
could neither read nor write, the number of
illiterate couples in Piedmont was only 22 per
cent., while in some of tho southern pro
vinces, as in the Basilicata, the proportion
was no less than .S7 per cent. It must be ob
served that the efforts mado by tho liberal
government towards the spread of public in
struction dates in those southern provinces
only from I SCO, and cannot, therefore, have
affected the grown-up generation. The Nea
politans more than teu years old are still
what they always were what their priests
have made them: yet we hear those same
priests complaining of the State's interfe
rence v ith the training of youth, and con
tending that education ought to be a mono
poly of the Church.
