Youwillthus secure the valuable information you are looking for. It occurred to me to adopt the same course with reference to the tilt going on in the columns of ycur paper. Here is the result of my trouble. ““The general acceptation of the werd “Pontiff’’is ‘‘of or pertaining to a Bis- hop’’- Pontiff is net synonymous with “‘Papal’’. It is true that sometimes we read about the ‘‘Pontifical States’’ and ““Papal States’”’. Both terms refer te the te ritory bestowed upon the Pope, the Bishop of Rome, by Pepin in 778 as means of defense against the Saracens. KEvery decree or function that is Pa- pal sis Pcntifical, but not every decree or function that is Pontifical is Papal for the simple reason that the Pope is al- ways a Bishop, but not every Bishop is a Pope. Papilisa term applied to the Pope, the Bishop of Rome, and to him alone. Pontifical is a general term and applfes to a Bishop. Pontificals, for in- stance, is a collective noun- given for convenience sake to the insignia which are worn by Bishops alone.”’ If it is the everyday, living, working, meaning of a word you are looking for, g 0 to one versed in terms and their proper -applications. Really can anything to the point be said further on this subject? Yours sincerely A BIGOTED ADMIRER OF COMMON SENSE. | TELEGRs MS. ST.
