are asking for Irish clergymen to be located amongst them.
- In various "places crowds of Roman Catholics attend Protestant
churchesend school-houses, where an Irish-speaking clergyman has
been announced to preach: One clergyman states :
"In the Cathedral of I preached on Wednesday evening.
The church was filled, the Roman Catholics standing up to the
readiag-desk, and outside the doors. At D—, on Sunday night,
there, had we a place large enough, we might have had many hun-
dreds of Romanists ; as it was, we had• a goodly number, and those
who were obliged to stand outside the window occasionally requested
- that I would speak up, so as they might hear."
• . Anether . .
" I had a most interesting tour through the C— Irish districts.
I preached 20 sermen§, in Irish, to over 2,000 in all. I may count
that 1,000 were cOnverts, 500 -Romanists, and 500 old Protestants.
One poor man, who was nothearing me, heard so much about the
sermon from others, that he said he would come to hear the next
sermon, if the West would roast him in the fire for it.' Many a
Poor creature from Op heart said, 0, when will you come again
air? Alas ! that we hav'nt an Irish ministry.'"
Such are some of the results of the Soeiety's proceedings ; but the
-committee would allude to one mote, of considerable importance at
the present time, and that is, that wherever the native Irish have
been instructed by the Society, they have become loyal subjects of
our Queen, and abstain a.•om all connexion with the treasonable
practices and illegal associations which are so hostile to the peace
end prosperity of the kingdom.
The Committee have made diligent inquiries upon this subject, and
the replies tAf their inquiries have been highly satisfactory. The
following are extracts from one letter out of upwards of tweaty of
the same character received by the Committee :
" I affirm it as a fact that could not be contradicted, that out of
the thousands in Ireland connected with the Dish Society, tkat none
of them are connected with illegal associations, or with that dan- •
Serous agitation now so formidable, and hostile to Ireland's
best interests. Our teachers and pupils are almost entirely friendly
to British connexion ; they have felt Rome's spiritual tyranny, and
they believe, if the union with Great Br'ite'n were dissolved,
that both spiritual and political:tyranny would become intolerable."
And there are not a few instances of members Ribbon or other
!'legal associations having been converted through the insti amen-
tality of the Society; and now employed in teaching their country-
men to read the Word of God.
• An indvidnal who lately visited a congregation of converts in one
of the wildest districts of the west, remarks :
... " When I entered the cabin, the whole congregation rose, seeing
a stranger with a Bible in 'his hand, and gave me a hearty wel-
come, crying out Cead Miro Fantle,' Cead Mille Failthe.' They
were orderly in their conduct, and deeply attentive to the Word of
God. I was especially pleased with the demeanour of two indivi-
duals, and not a little gratified at afterwards hearift; their story.
One had been a celebrated and lawless pugilist, the other the leader
of a Ribbon Lodge, both of them daring characters in the neigh-
bourhood ; but through the mercy of God they met with the teachers
'of the Irish Society, they were instructed in the Scriptures, and
now, from their respectable appearance and general conduct, as
Well from the change which has taken place, they might be described
in the language of inspiration,. Sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed,
and Is their right mind.' One of them is the owner of the cabin
where the congregation was assembled—the other, the Scripture
header employed in the district."
To extend these benefits, under the blessing of God, amongst
the Irish-speaking part of the population the present appeal is made.
It is acknowledged by all parties that somethingiaust be done for
—lreland ; and without limiting the measures which may be devised
by the benevolent, the Committee of the Irish Society of London
Would respectfully suggest that religious instruction should have a
prominent place amongst them.
It has succeeded in the Protestant districts of the north of Ireland,
Which are as free from crime, disloyalty, and pauperism as any parts
of England, and where industry and order flourish to a remarkable
degree. It has succeeded, under the blessing of the Most High, in
those native districts and localities where the inhabitants have been
instructed by the teachers of the Irish Society, in which crime, sedi-
tion, and animosity have given place to peace, to loyalty, and goodwill.
And why should it not succeed upon a greatly extended scale? It
Is a measure which the Committee believe God will honour—that
lied will surely bless. There is a prom -se which they would desire
to remember, and in humble reliance upon which they carry on the
Work.committed to their charge—" My word...—. shall not return
unto me void ; but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it
Shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it."
That " word" when blessed by God the Spirit, wll teach even the
most deluded of the Irish peasants to "julamit to every ordinance of
Man for the Lord's sake."
It will inculcate industrious habits—" if any would not work,
neither should he eat."
It will produce a respect for life and property, and thus give an
opportunity for the introduction of capital, and the emp oyment of
the people at home, enabling them to support themselves, instead of
being a burden to others.
It will be the.-are remedy for treason and rebellion--" Fear God
—honour the king—and meddle not with them that are given to
change." -
Above all, it will teach them the way of eternal salvation,
through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.—John iii. 16, 17.—
Acts iv. 12.
The inhabitants of England, Wales, the Highlands of Scotland,
and of the distant colonies, all hear, in their own tongue, the won-
derful works of God; and the Committee make this appeal to the
Christian and benevolent public, that they may be enabled to send
to the 3,000,000 of the native Irish, religions instruction in that lan-
guage which they can understand.
