Excerpt from Editor of the Examiner
During a recent spell of travel there cropped up an amusing story. Some discussion had occurred between two laymen touching on mixed marriages or some kindred subject, and after failing to come to an agreement, the matter was referred to a neighbouring priest for a verdict. When the answer arrived a further discussion arose, in course of which the authority of the priest was pooh-poohed with the exclamation: "What does Father Elphinstone know about love?" This reminds one of the Lancashire yokel, who, finding himself losing ground in a dispute about the infallibility of the Pope, suddenly created a diversion by exclaiming: "Look here! If you'll tell me who Cain's wife was, I'll give in and become a Catholic." The irrelevance was not so great, perhaps, as would appear from the story. What the author of that question possibly meant to say was" It is very easy in theory to instruct people what to do; but in practice, when they have fallen in love, it is quite a different affair" - with the implication that Father Elphinstone had presumably never been in that predicament. Now it is quite outside our power to furnish a biography of Father Elphinstone, or to enumerate his personal experiences in this matter. They might conceivably be of the mildest description or they might also be of a nature to fill the reader with astonishment. It will, however, be opportune to make a passing remark on the singular delusion which seems to pervade some classes of laymen - as if a priest were a being of totally different constitution from themselves.
