Again1repeatwiththeHolyFather, theworldissickofamortaldisease, andthisdiseaseisApostasyfromGod. heworldhasturnedawayfromGod, itnolongerbelievesinGod--whereis theremedy?JesusintheBlessed Sacrament,Holy.Communion,frequentCommunion,dailyCommunion.We mustprayfortheconversionofthe worldinourHolyCommunions;we mustalsotrytobringbacktothe HolyTablethosewhohaveneglected it,perhapsforyears;wemustaskof Jesustoinfuseintothesoulofthe worldanewlife,thelifeofFaith.No oneelsebutHecangivetheFaith;it isa"giftofGod.""Ifthoudidst know,"saidIletotheSamaritan womanatthewellofJacob,"Ifthou didstknowthegiftofGod,andwho HeisthatsaithtotheegiveMeto drink.thouperhapsveouldsthaveaskedccHimandHewouldhavegiven theelivingwater".(John.4-10.)

Ifwehavenotfaith,whatshouldwe do?Weshouldaskforit,andGod willcertainlygiveit.Christhassaid

"askandyoushallreceive,seekand youshallfind,knockanditshallbe openeduntoyou."Faithisabsolutely necessaryforsalvation,andwithoutit wecannotenterheaven,becauseSt. Paulsaysthat"withoutfaithitisimpossibletopleaseGod."(Hebrews, 11-6.)ChristHimselfalsosays,"He thatbelievethandisbaptisedshallbe saved,buthethatbelievethnotshall becondemned."(Mark,16-16.)Again 1cadandIentreatyou,ifyouhave notfaith,orifyourfaithisweakand poor,askforfaith,askGodto strengthenyourfaith,toincreaseyour faith.AsktheMotherofGodtoobtainthefaithforyou.Inother words,youmustpray,andpraymuch.

St.PaulgivesadefinitionofFaithin thefollowingwords:"Faithisthesub stanceofthingstobehopedfor,the evidenceofthingsthatappearnot."He meansthatitisaclaimwhichwehave onthethingsthatwehopefor,and that.Godhaspromisedtous;itisalso thecertainty(producedinourminds bytheHolyGhost'ofthingsthatappearnot(orthatwecannotunderstandnorsee!.Anotherdefinition, perhapsmorewithinourreach.is: -Faithisadivinevirtue,bywhichwe acceptandsubmitourmindstocertainmysteriesandtruthswhichare beyondourreason,whichwecannot fullyunderstand.butwhichGodhas madeknowntous."

TheIrishintheWar

THEIRCLAIMTOFREEDOM.

Ireland'srecordinthewarhas been,fromthepointofviewofthe Allies,magnificent.Themagnificence oftheIrishcontributiontothecause offreedomhasbeenonlylessamazing thanthefloodofcalumnyandbelittlementthathasbeenconsistentlypour-edoniteversinceAugust,1914.Irelandhasmadeagreatervoluntarycon. tributionofmentotheAlliedforce. thananyotherunfreenaconinthe world.Thatistheleadingfactofthe situation.SirCharlesRussell,speak- ingataRedCrossmeetingatDublin recently,declaredthatIrelandhad given250,000mentotheBritishArmy andNavy;andthisleavesaltogether outofaccounttheequallylargenum- berofIrishmenwhohavetakenpart inthewarintheAustralian,Canadian,andAmericanarmies.Iftheseare addedin,weneednothesitatetoacceptMr.JohnRedmond'sestimatethat 500,000Irishmenhavefoughtinthe ranksoftheAlliesforthelibertyof theworld.Atthesametime,aswas showninthe"NewStatesman"some timeago,IrelandhasbeensecondonlytoAmericaitselfinthesuppliesof foodshehassenttoEnglandduring theperilousyearsofthewar.Hadit notbeenfortheassistancerendered byIreland,bothinmenandfoodstuffs,itisdoubtfulwhethertheAllies wouldyethavebeenabletoforceGermanytosubmission.Thisisnotto claimthatIrelandhasdonemorethan anyothercountry.Itistoclaim merelythatshewasanecessarylink inthegreatchainoftheAlliedsuccess.Hewouldbeaknaveandafool whowouldattempttodisparagethe sacrificesofFranceandEngland,of torturedBelgiumandtorturedSerbia. Hewouldbeequallyaknaveandfool, however,who,havingacceptedtheservicesofhalfamillionIrishsoldiersand sailors,wouldpretendthatIrelandhas notmadeanimmenseandforciblecontributiontothevictoryoftheAllies, andwhowouldrewardtheIrishdead withaweaksneerabouttheabundance ofbutterinIrelandinwar-time. Itmaybeaskedwhy,thesethings beingso,hastheaverageEnglishmanbeenallowedtogettheideathatIrelandhasstoodasideandsulkedduring thewar.Somepeoplethinktheinsurrectionof1916ischieflytoblame. Well,therewerenotenoughIrishmen intheDublininsurrectionof1916to makeupevenonebattalionofthe IrishGuards.Onewastoldatthe timethattheDublininsurgentsnumberedaboutathousand.Onehas learnedsincethenthattheywerehardlymorethansixhundred.Clearly,if Ireland'sfreedomistodependuponwhetherherservicestotheAllieshave outweighedherdisservices,shehat earnedherfreedomaboutathousana timesover.ForeveryIrishmanwho shoulderedarifleontheinsurgentside, athousandIrishmenhaveborneweaponsonthesideoftheAllies.Idoubt ifoneEnglishmaninahundredthousandrealisesthis.Iftheydid,they wouldinsistonseeingthattheirIrish allieshadafreeParliamentrestored tothembeforethePeaceConference sits.Neverwastheneedofanationalgovernmentprovedmorecompletely.HadIrelandpossessedanationalgovernmentduringthewar,she wouldhavehadanorganformaking knownherservicestothecivilised world.Canada,Australia,andSouth Africahavebuttospeakofwhatthey havedone,andalltheworldlistens.

She,too,hasbeendividedinopinion astothewar,farmoreso,indeed,than Irelandwasbeforethemalevolenceof theanti-Irishauthoritieshadhadtime todestroythepeople'senthusiasmfor Belgium."Itisanunfortunatefact," saidMr.Merrimanintheearlypartof thepresentyear,"thatweinSouth Africaareforoursinsrivenintotwo factionsofalmostequalstrength.Almostone-halfoftheEuropeanpopula- tioniscoldlyneutraltowardstheissue whichwelookuponasvital,if,indeed, theyarenotpositivelyhostiletothe causeoftheAllies."AndyetSouth Africaisfree.IfthereisanycoldnesstowardstheAllies,itisonaccount ofpastwrongs.,InIreland,onthe otherhand,ifthereisanycoldnessto- wardstheAllies,itisonaccountof presentwrongs.Somemonthsago, whenadinnerwasgiveninhonour(., Mr.Burton,theMinisterofMinesin SouthAfrica,Mr.Asquith,inaspeech.mentionedthenumberoftheSouth Africanf,^c2si.vhohadservedinthe war.Tile"Times."forsomereason orother,omittedthefiguresinitsre-

LetmesayagainthatIdonotmake thesecomparisonsinordertobelittle theservicesofanyothernation,but onlytoshowupIreland'sservicesin thewarinatruelight.Mostofthe freenationshavepublishedalistof theirdeadandwoundedsoldiers.Let ushaveafulllistofthedeadand woundedIrishsoldiers,sothatwemay judgehowgreathavebeenthesacrificesmadebyIreland.HasJapan contributedasmanyasIreland?She hasnot.YetJapanispraised.Has NewZealandcontributedasmany? Shehasnot.YetNewZealandis praised.HasSouthAfrica?Has Canada?Canadahasagreaterpopu-ltionthanIreland.Yet,iffigures weretobehad,Iamconfidentitcould beshownthatfarfewerCanadian- bornmenthanIrish-bornmenhave falleninthewar.CaptainEsmonde, M.P.,saidintheHouseofCommons: "Ihaveseenmyself,buriedinone grave,400Nationalistsoldierskilledin onefight"-two-thirdsasmanyasthe totalnumberoftheDublininsurgents ofEasterWeek.Andthatmournful spectaclehasbeenrepeatednotafter onefight,butafterfiftyduringthe war.Inthemostdesperatedays thewar-atMonsandattheMarne- Irishmenwerepresentatthethickest ofthefighting,andbattalionafterbat- taliongaveitselfuptotheslaughter, singing"TheBoldFeinerMen,""A NationOnceAgain,"andothersongs ofthekindthatthepolicenowadays suppresswithbatonchargesinIreland. Atthebeginningofthewarabat- talionoftheIrishGuardsmutined.It wasbecauseithadbeenrumoured thattheywerenotbeingsenttothe front!TheIrishGuards,itwillbe remembered,hadbeenreprimanded atthetimeoftheBuckinghamPalace ConferenceforcheeringMr.Redmond onhiswaydownBirdcageWalk.I knewasoldierintheIrishGuards,now dead,whodeclaredthathisbattalion calledthemselves"Redmond'sOwn." Well,theyaredead,andsoarethe Redmonds,andSirEdwardCarson andMr. gloriousBonerLawhavemadethe sacrificeofsurvivingtoper- petuatethesubjectionofIreland.One isnotsurprisedtohearoftheNation- alistsoldierbackfromthefrontwho saidtoMr.Dillon:"Mr.Dillon,the worstofitisIknownowthatweare notfightingforliberty,forEnglandis goingtobetrayus."England,please God,withthehelpofLabour,isgoing todonothingofthesort;butMr. BonarLawandMr.Shott,sofaras theyareable,havealreadymadethegreatbetrayal.Anti-Irishinfluences haveforthemomenttriumphed,and Irelandishelduptocontemptasa sullenshirkertoallthefreenationsof Europe.

Mr.LloydGeorgeadmitted,inthe daysfollowingtheinsurrection,the malignityoftheanti-Irishinfluences thathadbeenatworkamongtheEng- lishofficialclassesintheearlydays ofthewar.Thismalignityhasbeen shownbynothingmoreclearlythan bythenatureoftheanti-Irishriropa- gandacarriedonbypropagandistsin theUnitedStates.Themisrepresen- tationofIrelandtotheUnitedStatescouldnothavebeenmorevehementif IrelandhadbeenfightingfortheGer- mansinsteadoffortheAllies.Ifan Americansoldier,goingashoreinIre- land,gotintoadrunkenrowthatend- edinafight,theincidentwastele- graphedtoAmericaasifitwereanun- ,r.,

byIrishNationalists.Andwhatcan besaidoftheegregiousstatements aboutIrelandmadeinMr.IanHay's propagandabookpublishedinAmerica andexposedbyMr.Devlininthe HouseofCommons?Irishmenask themselveswhetheranEnglishGovernmentthatmeanttodealhonestly byIrelandwouldactuallypayforthe spreadofanti-IrishfeelinginAmerica. Itseemedtomeatthebeginningof thewarthatEnglandwasnowabout totaketheattitudebeforetheworld: "Well,wehavedonewronginthe past;butwearenowgoingtoliberate thesmallnationsoftheworld-Irelandamongthem."Insteadofthat, Englishpropaganda,sofarasithas relatedtoIreland,haslargelybeenoccupiedwithanattempttoshow,not thatEnglandhasatlastadmitted thejusticeofthecauseofIreland,but that,comparativelyspeaking,Eng- land'sattitudetoIrelandissatisfactoryandjust.EveryotherAllied countryexceptIrelandhasbeenglori- fiedinpamphletafterpamphlet.Irelandalonehasbeenmaligned.One egregiouspamphlethasbeenpublish- edtoshowthattheEnglishdonotbehaveasbadlyinIrelandastheGermansinPoland.Ongroundsofthis kindnearlyanycountrymightbedenieditsfreedom.Onecanusually findsomeothercountrywhich,in somerespectorother,hassuffered stillworse. Here,then,istheplaintruthabout Ireland.Somepowerfulinfluences, whichhavealwayshatedthethought ofIrishfreedom,havedevotedthemselvesresolutelytotheabnegationof Irelandsincethebeginningofthewar. Why,thestoryoftheheroicdeedsof theIrishregimentsatGallipoliwas suppresseduntilMr.Redmondraised astormaboutthem,afterthetroopsof everyothernationhadbeengiven fullcredit.Andto-daypeoplewho arepraisingtheCzecho-Slovaksand thePoles-bothofwhomfought(un-dercompulsion)againsttheAlliesby thefiftythousand-aretobefound denouncingtheIrish,whocontributed animmenseandvitallynecessaryarmy tothecauseoftheAllies.IthankGod forthefreedomthatiscomingtothe PolesandtheBohemians.ButIreland,too,hassomelittleclaimonthe attentionofthestatesmenofthese yearsofliberation.Asshethinksof herdead,lyinginaworldofgravesin Flanders,Gallipoli,andMesopotamia,shemaywell(adaptinglinesofMr. Kipling's)cryout,intheagonyofher soul:
