TheChurch'sTestimony toTruth.

"Whatstrikesonefirstisthemag- nificenttestimonyoftheChurchof RometotheinviolabilityofTruth." Thatisthewhole-heartedtributepaid usbytheRev.Mr.RobertKeable,a HighChurchchaplain,whoaccompani- edtoFrancearegimentofblacksol- diersfromBasutoland,SouthAfrica, andwhohaslatelypublishedavolume calledStandingBy,whichisoneof themostnotablebooksthewarhasproduced.Hisliturgicalpredilections have,ofcourse,madehimaclosescru- tiniserofCatholiclifeandpracticesin thewar-zone,andhethussumsupthe impressionshereceivedoftheChurch'suncompromisingcharacter:

"Notruckwithhereticsbecauseof theholinessandundividednessof Truth-thatistheattitude(ofthe CatholicChurch).Andwhatever elsewesay,letusexpressourenor- mousobligationforsuchtestimony.

Lookingbackoverthelastthree centuries,how,ifithadnotbeenfor Rome,shouldwestillhavehada voiceamongstustosaythatTruth andPurityaresisters?Thatifa doctrineisarevelationofthemind ofChrist,neitherdeathnorlife,nor angels,nor present,principalities,northings northingstocome,norpow- ers,norheight,nordepth,norany othercreature,mustbeallowedto separatefromit-thisisherage-long witness.Itismagnificent.Itis almostincredible.Itisallbuta finalproofofherDivineclaim,for unquestionablyitisarockuponwhichonedashesone'sselftopieces,or bywhichoneisgroundtopowder.... Iwishwealladmittedmorefreely thatnoonesetsthetruevalueon goldmoreresolutelyandunflinch- inglythanRome.Noothercom- munionwouldsoonerhercliklren wentunfedbyministriesatallthan befedbyotherthanherown." ContrastingwiththeChurch'sun- yieldingattitudethechaoticstateto whichthreecenturiesofcompromise havebroughttheEstablishment,the authorquitedespairsofAnglicanism.

"LloydGeorgeappointingHensleyHensontotheapostolicsuccession,and DeanIngepreachingthesermon, strikesmeasoneofthemostcomic thingsthatcouldpossiblyhappen,"is anopinionthatMr.Keableshares,and asfortheotherProtestantsectshe findsrealChristianitypreachedinvery fewofthem.Fromthetestimonyof suchcandid,observantmenastheau- thorofStandingByandfromthatof thechaplains,CatholicandProtestant, whohavereturnedfromthefront,it wouldappearthatthereligiousworld ofto-morrowwillbedividedintotwo greatcamps,onecomposedofthose whowillacceptanundogmatic,social- serviceofwhichtheY.M.C.A.isthe :amiliartype,andtheothermadeup ofthoselogicalChristianswhorealise thatonlyintheChurchbuiltonPeter have"TruthandPurity"alwaysre- mainedinviolable.

Fromalltheforegoingitwillbeseen thatCatholicismisinaveryhealthy stateinMelbourneatanyrate.It maybethoughtthatalltheCatholic progressiscenteredinthecapitalcity. Thatthis,however,isnotthecase,wili beinstancedbythefollowingreportof theaddressoftheBishopofSaleto thepeopleofOrbostduringhisrecentvisittothatportionofhisdio. cese.Orbost,itshouldbepointed out,isintheextremeeastofVictoria, andalmostasfarremovedfromMelbourneasanytownshipinVictoria couldbe.Tillrecentlyitwaspartof the"wildsofCroajingalong,"butthe amountofprogressithasmadecanbe surmisedfromwhatfollows:

DuringhisrecentvisittoOrbost,to appealforfundsfortheBoys'College, hisLordshiptheBishop(RightRev. Dr.Phelan)remarkedonthegreatprogressthistownismakingsincetherailwaylinewasextendedtothebanksof theSnowyRiversomethreeyearsago.

Anticipatingthisgrowth,twoyears beforetheopeningofthelinehisLordshippurchasedacommodiousnouse, onoveranacreofland,adjoiningthe churchgrounds,asafutureconvent. Inthemeantimethehouseisrentedby abankmanager,and,byasplendideffortoftheOrbostCatholics,hasbeen freedofdebt.

TheBishop,onthelastoccasion, spentthreedaysatOrbost,andfound, thatthereareatleast50CatholicchildrenavailableforaCatholicschool. Speakingatthe11o'clockMass,his Lordshippointedouttheimmediate dutyofthepeopleiftheyweretoenjoytheinestimableblessingofacommunityofSisterstoteachtheirchildren.HecongratulatedtheOrbost Catholics,who,ontheirown,cleared theirgrandpropertyofallliability; andassuredthemthatiftheyorganised nextyeartobuildaschoolhewould endeavourtoprovidethemwitha teachingcommunityofSisters;and then,thenextstepwouldbe,havinga school,theywouldhaveaclaimtoa residentpriest.

ThemembersoftheVictorianProtestantFederationarenotparticular wheretheyobtaintheiropportunities tolaunchoutagainsttheCatholics.The latestexampleofthetendencyisthe reportedspeechofthepastchief presidentoftheV.P.F.,madeatAlbury,withregardtoadecisionarrived atbytheCatholicFederationConferenceinSydney.Inviewofthesystemofproportionalrepresentation, whichwillbeinvogueatthenext NewSouthWalesStateelections,the CatholicFederation,believingtheCatholicpeopletobeentitledtorepresentationinParliamentassuch,passedthe followingharmlessenoughresolution:

ChurchandLanguage.

Ageneralopinionthattheinfluence oftheBishopsofIrelandthrownonthe sideoftheIrishlanguagecouldsaveit fromextinction,arrestitsdecay,and restoreitsemploymentastheordinary mediumofintercourse,mightbededuced,saystheIRISHINDEPENDENT, fromtheremarksofthedelegatesat thesittingoftheArd-FheisintheMardykePresentationBrothers'College, Cork,onthe6th.ult.Mr.SeanO'Ceallaigh("Seelig"),whohadbeenelected Presidentonthepreviousday,insuccessiontoMr.OwenO'Neill,occupied thechair,andtherewere200delegates present.

DealingwiththequestionofIrishin churchesandschools,aresolution, draftedbytheoutgoingCoisteGnotha, forsubmissiontothebishopsandsuper- iorsofReligousOrders,wasproposedbyMaireNiChinneide,MA.,andsecondedbyMr.ArtO'Tuama,London. Itrespectfullyaskedforhelpbythe adoptionofaprogrammeproviding for:

(1)TeachingofChristianDoctrine andexaminationinsameinIrishonly inGaeltacht;bilingualteachingofcatechisminsemi-Gaeltacht,andthegrad- ualsubstitutionofIrishforEnglishin theteachingofcatechisminEnglishspeakingdistsictsaschildrenadvanced fromlowertohigherstandardsaswell astheteachingofprayersinIrishfrom infancy.

(5)AllpriestsinMaynoothorClon- liffeCollegestohaveacompetent knowledgeofIrishinordertoensure thateachparishmayhaw.atleast, oneIrish-speakingpriest.

Mr.P.O'Seagha,Glengariffe,asked wasthereanyinformationavailableas towhattheCoisteGnothahadalready doneinthematter.MichaelO'Buac- halla,C.E.(Dublin),saidiflittlepro- gresshadbeenmadeinthematter DublinGaelswerenottoblame,but ratherthosewhowerenotenthusiastic aboutthelanguage.Dublinhadmadegreatefforts,anditwasapitythat asmuchcouldnotbesaidforother places.

"BishopsDoingNothingNew"

Rev.ThomasWall(Ballina,Co.Lim- erick)saiditwasclearfromtheBishop ofCloyne'sletterreadattheprevious day'smeeting,thattheBishopswere doingnothingnewinthematter.In anyeventhisLordshiphadnottold themanythingthatwasnotalready knowntopriests.ThepositionofIrish inchurchesinsomepartsofGaeltacht wasscandalous.AsforEnglish-speak- ingdistricts,hehadworkedundertwo Bishopswhohadneverhinderedhim fromusingIrishinchurchservices (Greatapplause).Itmustberemem- bered,however,thatinorderthatno

objectioncouldberaised,hehadseen toitthathiscongregationcouldun-derstandandrespondinIrishtopray- ersgivenoutinthatlanguage.The lateBishopofLimerick,oncomingto Dromcollogher(wherethespeakerthen was)hadheardtheprayersrecitedin Irish,andiftheMaynoothSynodrule wasbeingbrokenhewascertainhis Lordshipwouldhaveobjected.Other priestscoulddoasmuchintheirown districtsiftheyhadtheassistanceof theteachers.

HighTribute'.

MissMaireNiChinneide,M.A.,said thatwhenashorttimeagoLord Frenchhadissuedhisproclamation againsttheGaelicLeague,FatherMatthewRyan,P.P.,Knockavilla,issued anotherinwhichhestatedthataslong ashelivedhewouldsaytheprayers beforeandafterMassinIrish,and whentheArchbishopvisitedtheparishhepraisedFatherRyanhighlyandsaid hewasanexampleforall(Applause).

MissGobnaitNiBhruadair(Hon.AlbinaBrodrick)saidtheyneednotsend anydeputationtotheBishopofKerry, forhewasdoingreallyfineworkfor thelanguage.

FatherO'Callaghan,C.C.,Cork,said thedecisionbytwentybishopsthatall candidatesforHolyOrdersintheirdiocesesmustknowIrishwasboundto bringaboutagreatchangeforthebetter.ThechiefobstacletoenforcingtheteachingofcatechisminIrish,and examinationofchildreninIrish,was thattheinspectorsofreligiousinstruc- tionwerenotcompetenttoexaminein Irish.TheLeagueoughttoaskthe Bishopstoappointinspectorswhoknew Irish.InEnglish-speakingparishesit wasimpossibletohaveprayersbefore andafterchildren'sMassinIrish,ex- ceptwheretheteacherslenttheiras- sistancebyteachingtheprayerstothe youngfolk.Amidapplausehesaid thatatthechildren'sMassinCorkCa- thedraltheprayersandhymnswerein Irish.That,ofcourse,couldnotbe doneexceptwiththehelpoftheteachers.

SomeCriticism.

Mr.Diarmuid0hEigeartaigh,Dublin, saidthattheLeaguehadbeencom- plainingforyearsabouttheNational Board'sactioninsendinginspectors ignorantofthelanguagetoinspect schoolsinGaeltacht,butsomeofthe Bishopsweredoingmuchthesame thing.HowcouldCatholicsintheGaeltachthaveanyrespectforthe languagewhenBishopsandothers whowerelookeduptobythepeople hadnoregardforit?Undoubtedly ifIrishwasdyinginGaeltachtthe Churchwaslargelytoblame.All priestsintheGaeltachtoughttobe abletopreachinIrish,hearConfes- sionsinIrish,andsayprayersbefore andafterMassinIrish.Otherwiseit wouldbeimpossibletosavethelanguage.

FatherWallsaidthepolicyofthe ChurchinIrelandwastofollowthe leadofthepeople,tohaveprayers andinstructioninthelanguagespok- en tobythepeople.Actingaccording thispolicy,theIrishlanguagehadreceivedduerecognition,butatpre- sent,andduringthepasthalf-century orso,Irishhadbeenneglectedbythe Churchinmanyplaces.
