Criticising'the contention that con fessions to the clergy should be held inviolate, Luther A. Fink, writing in Sunday's issue of the Daily Newe, says : “Why our American government grants such rights as this to any church, is beyond comprehension.” The answer probably is that the “American government” does not grant such rights. Information from legal sources is that there are no priv ileged communications, or confes sions, to spiritual advisers under the common law. Special statutes enact ed in some of the states, presumably by the influence of that branch of the church that recognizes the confession al, forbi4 the clergy to disclose con fessions made to them in their priest ly relation. But there is no such statute in North Carolina and legal confessions to the clergy have no standing in our state, if the informa tion gathered is correct. As the Daily News has already said,, it is for the individual clergy man to determine whether it is his duty to reveal what may be disclosed to him by persons seeking spiritual consolation. The propriety of such revelations might be discussed indefi nitely without finding a rule that would fit all oases, for there is no such rule. It is a matter for each minister to decide for himself, as he may feel his conscience directs, after due consideration. The Protestant church, generally speaking, does not reeognize the confessional, and it is assumed that the ministers of that church do not. as a rule, encourage or invite ‘confessions. If this be cor rect it follows that the minister, who does not cease to be a citizen when he enters the ministry, must take ac count of the obligations of citizenship as well as his duties in the priestly relation. > Burdened souls seek relief by telling "their trouble to others. Many of the troubled ones, moved to seek the consolation of religion, unburden themselves to the minister, often to his embarrassment. And undoubted ly ministers hold sacred many con fidences which would cause serious trouble if they were revealed. If in their opinion the ends of justice and righteousness are best served by hold ing the confidence inviolate, then they should do that. But to say they should hold in confidence everything told them under all circumstances, even the major felonies, seems to be going a trifle far. The extent of the criticism of the Reidsville preacher is surprising. He is represented as an upright and con scientious man. His statement must be accepted until the contrary is shown. So far as releaved he did not pledge 6ecrecy to the young woman who voluntarily confessed to him. In stead he promptly told ier that he would have to reveal it to the officers of the law, which he did after time for due consideration. It is not re corded that the young woman pro tested his decision, which might be accepted as evidence that she antici pated that action on his part. Cer tainly there are cases on record where, such confessions having been made, •he clergyman immediately urged that the confession be made to court and has done what he could, to secure len iency on the ground that the confes sion indicated penitence. If it be held that all clergymen are bound to hold inviolate all confessions made to them in the priestly relation, then not a few of the guilty would feel that they had satisfied all de mands when they hurried to the cler gyman and confessed. Clergymen might save themselves much embar rassment and worry if they would in dicate to those who insist on laying their burdens on them, that they might feel it necessary to disclose the information if it involved grave in fractions of the law. That is, un less they feel they are privileged to grant absolution. The layman who is privy to a murder and holds his peace might find himself under indict ment as an accessory after the fact. It is difficult to understand why a minister should be required to hold his peace under similar circumstances. Daughter Born. Mr. and Mrs. F. E. Roger announce the birth of a daughter on Septem ber 14th. ' Parents of Daughter. Mr. and Mrs. M. L. Scott, of Cedar street, are receiving congratu lations on the birth of a daughter on September 14th. “Look at that woman driver on the wrong side of the street.
