THE CASUIST

A Collection of Cases in Moral and Pastoral Theology

Volume I.

New York Joseph F. Wagner 1906

THE present volume, made up chiefly of Cases that appeared in THE HOMILETIC MONTHLY, is issued in answer to the request of some of the subscribers to this magazine who have expressed their desire to possess these Cases in such form as to be easily accessible when reference to them is necessitated by the exigencies of daily missionary life.

Many, too, have been unable to secure copies of THE HOMILETIC MONTHLY containing these Cases, as the earlier volumes were soon out of print. Hence it is confidently believed that this volume will be welcomed by the friends and readers of THE HOMILETIC MONTHLY, and by priests on the mission in general.

The Cases are plain and practical, such as come into the sphere of activity of the priest whose duty brings him into intimate relations with souls, either as confessor, or adviser, or friend.

In fact, many of the Cases presented are original and were sent to the editor for solution by busy or perplexed missionaries. Others, taken from various periodicals, have been chosen for their practical value and to such Cases the author's name is appended.

The editor desires to express his gratitude to those who have helped in editing this collection, especially to one whose name is withheld owing to the modesty and humility of its owner.

THE CASUIST.
