...required an association of worship composed of laymen and the priest to be formed in every parish to manage its affairs. In spite of the act the bishops retained a dominating influence over their parishioners and parish affairs. By the same act bishops' palaces and priests' houses were taken back by the state, and pensions were provided for the priests...
...Separation Act was passed at the end of a session of parliament, and at the next election the supporters of the act came back in increased numbers, while those who opposed it lost greatly. The will of France is shown by this election and it should be respected. No unfair treatment of the Church has been proved, and the Church has sacrificed its real interests with the object of merely opposing the Republicans. If it could shake free from prejudice, there would be a chance for a broader and more national religious life in France...
...ball downed it on Yale's 44-yard line. Several exchanges of punts followed on one of which Veeder sent the ball over Harvard's goal line for a touchback. On Burr's kick-out Knox made the the most spectacular play of the game, running the ball back, aided by excellent interference, from his 45-yard line to the University team's 22-yard line--this run of 43 yards being the longest in the game. From this point Yale rushed the ball to the 11-yard line where a forward pass was tried on the third down, Macdonald...
Neither team scored in the second half although, with the exception of the last three minutes, the ball was constantly in Yale's territory. Twice Harvard's opponents were set back to their three-yard line on penalties, but each time Yale punted out of danger. Newhall secured the second punt on the 34-yard line, and a forward pass to Orr, and two rushes by Wendell carried the ball to Yale's 22-yard line. Here, however, Lincoln fumbled, Forbes securing the ball. Veeder at once punted and when Newhall fumbled the catch, Forbes downed the ball on Harvard...
Although Burr's punts carried farther than Veeder's, Yale had the advantage in kicking because they ran the ball back better, partly due to the weakness of the University team's ends and partly to their own ability. In the first half Yale had the advantage of the wind in kicking, while this same fact partly accounts for Burr's excellent work in the second half when the conditions were reversed. Harvard gained more ground than Yale in the first half by 10 yards, even including the 18 yards covered by Veeder's forward pass which made...
