The following speech of the Pope at the festival Of
the Publication of the Virgin, though spoken before
the declaration Of republic of Rome will be read with
interest.
Every time that find myself called upon, BY Divine
mercy, preside those sacred meetings where arc
discussed with the aid Of Holy Spirit the decisions on
the Of the church Of Jesus Christ feel my heart
fill with JOY and confidence, and at the time with
admiration for the marvellous dispositions of God, who
with the intentions suggested by his love towards
kind nsts from time to time this divine spirit in the
minds Of Of his servants in order that by decar
ng against hell, they might assai the enemies Of
truth and fight against them the fight Of the Lord this
consoles me in my present sutferngS: it opens my
heart to that confidence in the Lord, that he will raise
up amongst his ministers, new, good and faithful ser
wants who will devote themselves to enlghtening and
nstructlng the people, and remove from them the
wound which is every day increasing their great
jury and peril Prde,mpatience Of al subordnation
and the strong passion of some of them for command
and domination, prepare for them yoke more heavy
and disastrous than that which they have wished
to destroy. And since that spirit Of pride directly
tacks God it may happen that the Almighty may i'm
mediatey resist as he formerly resisted it in the field
Of Babel Humble prayer the most eficacious rene
dy to alleviate this present maady prayer, which, be
ginning under the domestic family roof afterwards ex
tends to the house ofGod. The II oily Mary offers
in the solennity Of this day example of the manner
in which We ought to resist the pride Of the age name

accomplishment of his mcrcies turning promptly his pa
