Mr.O'NeillisanativeofMagherafelt.Co.Derry.)

TheUniversityofNotreDamethelargestCatholiceducationalinstitutionintheUnitedStates-has announcedbyitsPresident,theVery Rev.Dr.JohnCavanagh,thefoundingofachairofIrishhistory.By thisstep,whichmeanstheexpenditureof50,000dollars,NotreDameis distinguishedfromallotheruniversities,asitistheonlyonewitha regularlyfoundedchairofIrishhistory.

Thefoundingofthischairatthe UniversityofNotreDameshould maketheIrishpeopleinIrelandand Americathink.Whyisitthereis nouniversityorcollegeinIreland, exceptthoseinprocessoffounding bytheGaelicLeaguers,inwhich Irishhistoryisapartofthecurriculum? Whyisitthereisnotacollegeor universityinAmerica,exceptNotre Dame,thathasachairofIrishhistory? Andwhythissadconditionofaffairs?

OnecanunderstandthatTrinity inDublin,anEnglishproselytising anddenationalisingfoundation,enrichedasitwasbytheconfiscated landsofthepatriotchieftans,would notfavourtheteachingofIrishhistory.ButwhyshouldIrishhistory hebarredfromMaynooth,Blackrock,ClongowesWood,Thurles, Dundalk,andeveryotherCatholic collegeinIreland?

WhenNationalistIrishmenasked whyMaynoothhadnochairofIrish history,itwasansweredthatitwas assumedthatallstudentswhomatriculatedhadstudiedIrishhistory.

YetthefactwasthatnotapreparatoryschoolorcollegeinIrelandtaughtIrishhistory,andin notaschoolinIreland,exceptthose conductedbytheChristianBrothers, wasIrishhistoryevermentioned. Consequences.

TheresultisthatnomaninIreland,excepttheIrishIrishmanwho gothistrainingathome,hasany exactknowledgeofIrishhistory. AndthisignoranceofIrishhistory isnowapparenttoeverythia.-.isg maninIreland.Thereisalackof historicalillusioninthespeechesand writingsofmostpublicmen,andit wouldseemthatthepoliticalspeakersthinkbackonlyto1782or1798.

Question.-

"ConstantProtestantReader," asksustosayinour"mostvaluableQuestionandAnswercolumns" -whyCatholicshavetheSaintsand relics,&c.

Answer-

Thathonourandglory,whichwe areboundtogivetoGod,doesnot prohibitusfrominvokingtheelect andhonouringthemalso,moreparticularlyasthey,intheircapacity ofourguardiansprayonourbehalf totheAlmighty.

Weinbokethembecausetheyare everinthePresence,andareconstitutedbyGodasthewillingadvocatesofoursalvation.

ItisfrequentlyassertedbynonCatholics,whodeclarethatwe"worship"thesaints,thatthereisreallynoneedforustosolicitthegood officesofthesaintsinprayer,since Godhearsourprayers,andhasno needofintermediaries.Hereis whatSt.Augustinehastosayto this "Therearemanythings whichGoddoesnotgrantwithouta mediatorandintercessor.AbimelechandthefriendsofJobwerepardonedbutthroughtheprayersof AbrahamandJob.Theassertion thatprayingtothesaintsshows weaknessoffaith,ifnotthewantof it,isshownbythecaseoftheCenturionwhosentintermediariesto askourSaviourtoheal him,andwaspraisedbyChrist furthestrengthofhisfaith."

Herethenwehavetheexplicit wordofGodHimselfthatHemay betouchedtograntourrequestsif weseekHimthroughHischosenservants.

Catholicsareagainaccusedbytheir non-Catholiccriticsof"adoring" statuesandimages.Tomakeand honourofthe,imagesofOurLord,of HisHolyMother,andoftheSaints, saystheCatechismoftheCouncilof Trentallofwhomappearedonthe earthinhumanform,isnotonlynot forbiddenbythecommandment,hilt hasalwaysbeendeemedaholypractice,andthesurestindicationofa minddeeplyinpressedwithgratitude towardsthem.Consequently,imagesandstatuesarequitelawfulin theChurchinasmuchastheyserve toremindusofthosebestspirits whogracedtheearthbytheirpre-Bence.

Theimagesofsaints,saystheTridentineCatechistareplacedin Churches,notonlytobehonoured, butalsothatwemayimitatetheir livesanuemulatetheirvirtues.
