and induce them to say,—" We can't work, we want the I treated with
gentlemen to assist us." He ( Dr. 111'Neile) knew that would treat
in many useful matters,—in the schools, with clothing dye
fords, and divers other practical matters, the ladies could
work extremely well : in fact, be knew no better workers.
(Cheers and laughter.) He had another suggestion to
make, which would address itself to the same parties, and
that was,—take care what little books you allow your
children to lay their hands upon. There were little books
now in circulation which were dangerous, and let them
not, lie entreated them, allow their curiosity to get the
better of caution, and let them not entrust their young peo-
ple with the reading of books of which they knew nothing
themselves. He held in his hand an extract from one of
this.elass of hooks to which he had alluded ; it was a
book•on history, and might be supposed to be very harm-'
less; but he would read from it some observations in refer-
ence to the martyrdom in the days of Queen Mary,
when good Protestant champions were brought to
the stake and burned, for maintaining their faith.
The rev. speaker then proceeded to read the extract
which was as follows :—"lt is very difficult now to say
what should or should not he done. The whole
country was diseased and unsettled with heresy ; and it
was clearly impossible to stop it by gentle means. In this
case, you know, when men are determined to destroy not
only their own souls, but the souls of many others, they
have to be treated as malefactors, and are given over by the
church to the law to be punished. It was very shocking
that people should be burned ; but it was much more
shocking that they should be leading so many more people
to be burned in the flames of hell-fire." Very shocking
that they should be burned, (observed the Rev Dr.
M'Neile); but not so shocking as that they should be-
come Protestants. (Cheers.) Let them (the audience)
take care of these little hooks then.—He had one sug-
gestion or question more to put to them, which had
reference more particularly to the heads of families.
(Applause.) There was a scheme now on foot for
bringing Popish servants into houses in order to in-
doctrinate the other servants, but more particularly the
children of the household, with the errors of Popery. It
was let out the other day by the hon. and Rev. Mr.
Spencer. "Alas r' exclaimed the rev. speaker, " that an
honourable name connected with the English aristocracy
should ever be connected with a Popish conspiracy."—
(Hear, hear, and applause.) The plan which he (the hon.
and Rev. Mr. Spencer), detailed was this : addressing a
meeting of Romanists the other day in Ireland, he dis-
closed the tactics which the priests are anxious to carry
on for the conversion of the children of Protestants to 1
the Rornish faith. He (the Rev. Mr. Spencer) advised
those whom he was addressing " to enter Protestant
families in England as servants, with a fixed resolu-
tion of converting one family in three years, and then
of going to another for the same purpose. They were to
keep up an intimate connexion with the priest, to whom
they were to report progress from time to time; and they
were to exercise their influence on the other servants, and
to try and secure the children, In this way many con-
versions had taken place, and in this way the whole
fabric of English society would be undermined, and the
rotten foundation of Protestantism would give way by
means of this holy conspiracy." The Rev. Dr. M'Neile
then continued, that while they apprised them of danger,
they were full of encouragement as to the result, believing
that such a note of preparation had been sounded
throughout England as to warrant the hope that the dan-
ger had passed. (Cheers.) All that was now required
was, that English men and English women, too, should
be stedfast to the purpose. He said English women, be-
cause the men could not be stedfast if they forsook them
(laughter) : if they did not encourage them with
their sweet smiles, and their animated observations
at the breakfast table, and at the tea table,
the men's hearts would tail them—(laughter, and cheers);
and this was what the Roraish enemies- of their faith, of

Cardinal Wiseman will be inaugurated at Westminster,

inducted into their sees. And let them be assured that
the storm would blow over, and the Popish Bishops be
planted on our soil, if they allowed the present agitation
to die away, the present commotion to subside. If they
allowed the fire to go out it would be their own fault : the
best stoker in the world they knew could not keep up a
fire without fuel. (Laughter, and cheers.) Let them
send the fuel and they would keep it going. The reverend

doctor concluded by facetiously observing that he stood
there as one of those who promised that if they would
supply the fuel he would stand by them with the matches
—(laughter); and he sat down amidst loud cheers.
