How Conventions are Effected in
Ireland.

There was very rrcjudicoj Roman
CalhoI'c,who upon going into town " here
p0cards were posted, was met by the
priest, who said to him, "Take care and
don't look at those plcards; there is here
~ in them all" ooh" said the man,
"jhsy arc posted on both sides Of the road "
"Thcn look you straight on as you pass. -
Well by and by he came to the corner OF
two of the Streets and there he saw on one
of the pllcards, "The religion of the Ro-
man Catholics is not to be found in the
Douay Bible" Sir, this man instantly
bought Douay Bible. Was in great
trouble for some time, and at last he COM
municated his feelings TO his wife. lie
plainly told her Of the change which had
taken place in his sentiments, and declared
that he was Protestant. With tears in
her eyes she exclaimed, "Blcss God for
what you have said; have been Protest.
ant for two years" She then related her
case. They had been stopping in Protest..
ant lodging house, when, in a china closet
which separated their room from another,
she heard prayer and the Scriptures read
Being struck with what she heard, ,she
went in secret at the same hour every day
aud prayed and became so impressed as to
procure Bible. "And," said she, sc od
has shown me the way of Justification by
faith in Christ Jesus" Then what was to
be done with the daughter OF these people!
The parents wrote to her, informing her of
their spiritual change, and what was the
surprise and pleasure to find letter in re-
turn saying that she had been Protestant
for seven months.-A nd how do you think
that had occurred!-After her marriage
she went TO reside IN certain town, and
the priests there invited her and some of
her frienls to spend the evening with them.
This young woman went. and while on the
vis, toDk up a book--G ibbon's Decline and
Fall of the Roman Empire. On the priest
approaching she said, II beg your pardon
for having tnken up book that perhaps is
not allowed TO be read by US"
CO." said the priest, "you and l. who
are educated. may read anything; it is on
Iy these poor devils (pointng TO the gen.
tiemcn who set at the other end of the
room) WIN mGy rot read such books. -
She pond"red over the expression, "You
and who are educated, may read ..any-
thing, ,"--"rhen should Ike to read the
Bible" She at once procured one, and
read, and was converted. Thus father,
mother and daughter we're brought into the
family of God - Paddy'S CaLin.
