matarely announced BY some fool who hoaxed the

SPREAD OF CArHoLIcIsM.-Mr. O'Connell has
written very spirit stirring letter 10 the Protest
ants Of England the present and future pros
Of the Catholic Church. He wishes the Protestant
laity to enter with caution into inquiry to the
points OF dispute between the ansgonsfic churches
He says
''ln the present times il 10 admitted on all hands
that Protestantism, in all and every Of its multitude
nous shapes and forms, has lost all expansive power
In fact, power OF expansion ceased almest entirely
within one century after the invention OF the name
Of Protestant-that 10 to say, about the time when
the plumber OF the ancient church was exhausted.
Since then, Protestantsm has scarcely maintained
its own, If At ALL only by the force OF persecuting
laws and Of practical bgotry. But almost universal
ly, Cathoicity making at every side its conquests
There is abroad happy dispo towards return
ing TO the one fold Of the one shepherd which
consoles the heart and animates the hope of every
sincere and charitable Christian.
Look At England, and compare what she was
twenty years ago in point Of Cabolisity with what
she Is at present. Every where Catholic churches
are rising around rs! Catholic focks are crowd
ing into these places Of worship. Schools, con-
enthusiastically thrcn.ng these edicssj and the
