FromanAmericanProtestantclergymanwhohasvisitedIrelandcomes testimonytotheSaorstat'sfreedom fromreligiousbias,andtheabsenceof thesamespiritofgoodwillintheSix Counties.

Ireland'sLoyaltytotheMass.

Intheoccasionalsermon,whichwas deliveredbyFatherbutler,O.S.B.,the preachersaidtheFortyHours'ExpositionoftheBlessedSacramentwas oneofthegreatestceremoniesofthe Church.Itwasinstitutedsomethree centuriesago,todrawmen'smindsto ahigherandfullerappreciationof God'sloveingivingustheSacrament ofHisSacredBodyandBlood.All thesacramentsderivedtheirefficacy fromthePassionandBloodofJesus Christ.Whenthepriestadministered Baptismitwasthroughthemeritsof thePassionthatthestainoforiginal sinwasremoved;inthetribunalof PenanceitwastheBloodofJesus Christwhichcleansedthesoulofthe penitent;andwhenamanandwoman approachedthealtarfortheSacraanentofMatrimony,whichtheChurch Mt)zealouslydefendedinthesedaysof divorceandinfidelity,thecontractwas sealedintheBloodofJesusChrist. TheHolyEucharistwasaboveall otherstheSacramentofthePassion andDeathofOurSaviour. Youofthe-faithfulhereinIreland," hesaid,"havealwaysbeenconspicuousforyourloyaltyandfidelitytothe adorableSacrificeoftheMass.Everywherestill,thanksbetoAlnaighty God,thechurchesinIrelandarefull whenMassisoffered.Itisnotso everywhereelse,eveninotherCatholic lands.Youwillcomeintoachurch ofthissizeinsomecountriesabroad andyouwillfindveryfewpeople there."

Ireland,thepreachercontinued,was faithfultothegreatpropitiatorySacrificeoftheMass,whichwasoneand thesameasthatoftheCross.Inthe Penaldays,whentheMasswasdriven outofthegreatcathedralsandchurchesofIreland,altarswereerected onthemountain-sidesandintheforests,'andthere,withguardskeeping watch,theHolySacrificewasoffered.

"Weknow,"saidFatherEs'utler, "thatwhenwebecomesoldiersof JesusChristwehavegottosuffer. Thislifehastobeawarfare.Lifeis onesorrowafteranother;onepain afteranother;onewoundafteranother;andwearetemptedtocryout againstoursufferings,forgetfulthat wearesoldiersofChristandthatwe havepromisedtocarryHisbanner faithfullytotheend.WhathasHe givenustohelpusagainstthisspiritualstrugglewiththepowersofdarkness?Hecouldnothavegivenus morethanHehas.

TWENTYTZARS07IRISH PROOM&

TheLordBishopofGalloway,in Scotland,RightRev.J.W.McCarthy, alongwithRightRev.Mgr.Canon Forbes,D.D.,RectorofSt.Peter'sCollege,Bearsden,hasbeentouringinthe south-westofIreland,andinthecourse ofaninterviewreportedinthe"Cork Examiner,"hisLordshipmadesome veryinterestingobservationsonIrelandashefounditto-day.

"Itistwenty-threeyearssinceIwas lasthere,"saidhisLordship,"andvery remarkablechanges,indeed,Inoticed havetakenplace,andforthebetter. Thepeoplehaveanairofcomfortand happinessthatwerenotapparentthen. Thereisanairofprosperityandof independenceinthewayinwhichthey carrythemselves."

Referringtothearbitrarydivision ofIrelandintoFreeStateandNorthernProvince,theBishopsaidthatit seemedfoolish,uneconomicandalto getherunreasonablethatsuchpartitionshouldexist.Theenterprising youngmenformingtheFreeState Governmenthadshownadmirableadministrativeability.

"Inthecourseoftime,iftheFree Stateprogresseseconomically,culturallyandsocially,IthinkitwillbeimpossiblethatIrelandshouldcontinue tobedividedintwo,andthatisthe onlysafemeansofmollifyinganydifferencesthatexistbetweenNorthand South,andeventuallydrawingthe twotogether.

'Erin!thysilenttearnevershallcease, Erin!thylanguidsmilene'ershallincrease, 'Tillliketherainbow'slight Thyvarioustintsunite, Andforminheaven'ssight, Onearchofpeace.'

"'Whathastobedone,'saidthe Bishop,'istounitetheOrangeand theGreenandtheredandallthevariousPartytintsandcoloursinthe country.Itisveryevidenttoany thinkingman,ifthesevarioustints cometogether,Irelandcanbemadea greatnation.'"

Referringtothemarkedprogress madeinscientificfarmingandagricul- turaldevelopment,theBishopobserved:

Theinterviewclosedonanoteof, pathos,hisLordship,aftercommentingonthebadroads-someofthem atrocious-inthesouth-west,said:

"ComingalongtheroadintoCork,I passedthroughBeal-na-blath,andwas shownthestonethatmarkstheplace wherefelloneofthegreatestIrishmen ofmoderntimes-MichaelCollins.Let itbehopedthatthesameformofinsanitywhichledtohistragicdeath willneveragainrouseuptheIrish people,andthatmonumentsofthat kindwillnothavetobeerectedin futureinyourland."
