ReucreHd and Dear Sir: We deeply
depIore the uneasy feeling and excite
ment caused by a threatened invasion by
lawless men, who, pretending to remedy
the evils of Ireland, would intiict a
dreadful injury on the peaceful inhabi-
tants Of these Provinces. We need not
point out to Catholics, in the event of
such a violation of right, their duty as
| LOYAL subjects to repel invasion and TO
defend their homes for loyalty is a viz
tue, and It is also a duty toward the
Government under which we have lib
ertv, protection and just laws. As
ministers of Christ and messengers
of the God of Peace, We are TO stand
between the vestibule. and the al
tar, with uplifted hands, 10 implore the
God of Mercy to preserve Us in tranquil
lily and peace.
You viii please, Reverend Sir, to ex-
hort your people to prepare to celebrate
the festival Of the PatronSa of Ireland
as piOus Catholics, good Irishmen and
faithful children of st. Patrick, by ap-
preaching the Holy Sacrement of the
Altar, and to pray earnestly to God that
through the interCession Of His ImmacU-
late and ever Virgin Mother and st. Pat
rick, He would inspire the rulers of Ire
land to extend justice and mercy to that
poor distracted country; and that His
divine mercy would change the DISPOSE
lions Of those misguided men who pretend
to remedy the evils of Irelandby anarchy
- LH--T-laI T. - A.. ----. -
prOpiti8te the Divine mercy we appoint
the three days preceding the festival of
st. Patrick as days of special devotion in
each parish, and We grant, by virtue
of an Apostolic Indult, a plenary
