Elfeabeth Ann Bayley was born Aus. 28, 1774, when the colonics were @ubdiing with the spirit of rebellion @at in the following year culmi- fated tm the Battle of Lexington, and the Declaration of Independence a r later. She was the favorite id of her father, a brilMantly edu- man of deep religious convic- @ons. Her mother died when she three yearns old, so the entire formation of her character was in- fluenced by her father. * Bhe grew up in the same round of and pleasures as the other young girls of her time, and Jan. 25, 2794, while in her twentieth year, she married to William Magee Seton ,New York.

There appears to rave been a long struggle between he two beliefs, and in her effort to make up her mind Mrs, Seton prayed Yong and fasted much. In the end @he embraced the Roman faith, enter- ing through St, Peter'é Church in Barclay Street, ‘At the annual conference of the ‘Archbishops and Bishops of the Cath- ‘ollie Church held in Washington last ‘week tho prelates unanimously yoted A request that her cause be accele- fated through the long and tedious process necessitated by the moeticy- fous care which the church requires ghal) be exercised in raising one of ftw sons or daughters to the altar, The church worship of a saint 1s Gifferent from that of the Deity, The Delty is worshipped directly as the Giver of Gift» The saints are wor- hipped as intercessionaries whose. virtuous lives have guaranteed their salvation and have given them pow- ers of securing, vors from the step beatified Beat! te by Intercession, fa- Almighty. ification is the preliminary canonization.

The records of all the Bpiscopal and Cath- olte churehes in New York In her day have been searched, but no record of her baptism can be found. It is understood now that the Con- gregation of Rites has finally agreed to accept the practical certainty that she was baptized, She was received into the Catholic Church and made her first communion at St. Poter’s Church in Barclay Street March 14, 1805, by Father Mathew O'Brien. She was then thirty-one years of age. It {s assumed, however, to be a ver- tainty that Mrs. Seton was baptized in the Hpliscopal faith, that Father O'Brien investighted the baptiam and found i, to be sacramental and did not deem a re-baptism either neces- Sury or permissible. The first tour of the twenty steps necessary to canonization have been accomplished inthe case of Mother Seton, At present the investigation takes in her writings, which will be closely scrutinized any possible flaw that will dome to see if there is in her record, After a review of the find- ings as to her virtues and the mir- acles wrought through her interces- ion, and the proof of these will have to be conclusive.
