ADDRESSBYREV.FR.CULLEN, S.J.

(Continued).

OnRosarySunday 1874,after thecelebrationofMass,inthelittle countrychapelofGlin,intheCountyofWexford,whereIwasengaged onamission,itstruckmethatwith-, outFatherMathew'sexampleoftotalabstinence,bywayofexample. andsacrificeforothers,thelarger successIhopedfor,couldnot he attained. Although,previously, throughm3lifeIhadtakenhut littlestimulantsofanykind,Iresolvedforthesakeofgoodexample togiveupeventhatlittle. From thatmorningIhaveneverwavered inmyallegiancetothecause-and thoughlossofhealth,deathitself, andaprematuregraveastheconsequenceofcold-waterdrinkingwere orn.nous13-predictedbycrowds of friends,Iamlivingstill,thankGod, afair,oldspecimenofthebeneficial resultsoftotalabstinencefromall alcoholicdrinks.

SometimeafterIhadjoiriedthe SocietyofJesus,Iwasengagediua TemperanceRetreatinBelfast,at therequestofBishopM'Allister. Thecustomary"spiritualexercises" wereperformed.EachnightSt. Peter'svastChurchwaspackedto overflowing,andtheusualTotalAl stinencePledgewastoheadministeredonthelastSundaytotheimmensecrowd.SuchscenesIhadfrequentlywitnessedandsharedinbefore.Theenthusiasm,thefervour, theapparentresolutiontokeepthe pledge:...ithful13-,thedeeproarof voicespronouncingthesolemnwords ofthepledgewereallwellknown andlongfamiliartome.Butthe subsequent,andalas!thefrequent violationofthatundertaking, so frequentlydemonstratedbyexperience,staredmeintheface,and 1 struck.Iwouldnotanymoreask thePledgetoberecitedaloud,and takenindiscriminatelybyall.Only tothose,henceforth,shouldI administerit,whooncalmreflection, werepreparedtostakethelife-long sacrificeoftotalabstinenceandgive metheirnamesandaddresses.Naturally,thisviewmetwithopposi- tiononallsides-theprocedurewas anunbiddeninnovationthelifeengagementwasmadetoodrasticthe trialwasdoomedtofailure,forit wasbelievedthatthecrowds,shrinkingfromthe"hardword,"would goawaynobetterfortheTemperanceMission.However,Iwasinexorableandwouldnotyield.On thatlastSundaynightoftheMission,inthepulpitofSt.Peter's, Belfast,Iannouncedtheconditions ofthenewPledge,whichIstyled the"HeroicOffering."Contraryto allexpectation,aboutthreehundred adults,thever,,'creamofthecongregation,cameuptotheAltar railsandsubscribedtheirnamesto thenewTemperanceventure.This wasstartedthe"Heroicoffering," inthecapitaloftheBlackNorth!

Again,someyearspassed,andstill withtheProgressmadebyTem. peranceIwasnotsatisfied.

DuringthefirstweekoflastMay thefirstConferenceoftheDistrict BoardsofEducationwasheldin James-Street,Government-School, Perth.TherewasafairrepresentationofthevariousdistrictBoards, attendingfromCarnarvonin the North,CoolgardieandKalgoorliein the,East,BridgetownandAlbanyin theSouth,whileFremantle,Perth, andcentralpartswerewellrepresented. Theattendancecomprisedabout15 Ministersofvariousdenominations, about35laymenandthreeladies,delegates.Ofthisnumberonlytwo orthreewereCatholics.Manyof theresolutionspassed'wereof slightimportanceandtherefore,can bepassedover,buttherewerealso afewmatterswellworthlookingintofromtheCatholicpointofview. Thereseemedtobeaaconsensusof opinionthattheStateshouldtake uponitself,thefullresponsibilityof theeducation,technicaltraining,and materialandmoraloutfitofeach childoftheState.Oneresolution, proposedbyRev.Canon(lairs,was thatschoolareasshouldbeestablishedforonecentralschoolinlieuof provisionalandothersmallschools, inthebackblocks.Anditwasevensuggestedthatvansshouldbeutilisedtoconveychildrentothecen tralschoolfreeofcosttothepar- ents-butattheexpenseoftheGovernment.

ThesewordsappliedbyIloly Church,intheofficeforto-day,to OurBlessedLady,aretakenfrom Ps.9.-io.

Fifteenhundredyearsagotherewag livinginEgypt,ayounggirlnamed Mary,thedaughterofgood,andres,ectableChristianparentsbutwhen stillquiteyoung,shelistenedto thevoiceofthetempter,andsecretlyleavingherfather'shouse,she fledtothegreatandwickedcityof Alexandriathereformanyyears, forseventeenatleast,sheled a life,whichIdarenotdescribeto you,alifeplungedineveryevilexcess.

Wehaveherownaccountof the scene,forshetellsus,how,ashe washeatingherbreast,andbewailinghersinfullife,hereyesfell,on apictureoftheBlessedMotherof God,ofMary,theRefugecfSinners.

Theceremonywasperformedbythe Bishop(theRightRev.1)r.J.Duhig),andwasattendedbysomethousandsofpeople.TheHibernianSocietymarchedinregaliafromthe HibernianHalltothegrounds.The boysandgirlsoftheCatholic schoolsalsomarchedthere. Amongstthosewhooccupiedseatson theplatformweretheRev.Fathers W.O'Sullivan,C.SS.R.,C.A.McDermott,C.SS.R.,J.Gallagher(Administratorofthediocese).T.A. Simington,P.Queal:,(Palmerston, North,N.Z.),andM.Ryan(Stanthorpe),theMayor(AldermanH. Medcraf),andMayoress,theHon. A.H.Parnell, andMr.D. T.Keogh,M.L.A. Immediatelyafterhehadascended thePlatform,BishopDuhigproceededtolaythestone.
