FOREIGN CATHOLIC 1nrEIL1oEHcE.

ThursGay, Oct. 22d, the new Roman Cath
Ollie church of st. Edward, Windsor, was
building in which Catholic rites have been
celebrated in the royal borough since the
Reformation, a small chapel at Clever |
green, two miles outside the town, being |
the only place where the Catholics OF Wind
sor could worship according to their 1 faith
Pontifcal High Mass, Dr.. Grant, Catholic
R;shon of Southwark, being celebrant. AT
the conclusion of the Mass Archbishop Man
ming preached, taking his text from Isaiah,
chap. xxi. v. 1: Behold, king snail
rule in Judgment" He said that in the
DAYS when those words were written, when
desolation was over the land, the prophet
of God had foretold the day when a KING
should ''reign in Justice" ana princes
should 'trule injudgment." On the occa-
sion of opening that beautiful church 1 aed-
icated to the memory of Edward the King
and the Confessor, these words came to
them most opposite; but if they would I'M
derstand what the reign OF King EDWARD
really was, and from what sources he de-
rived his justice and his law, they must
phecy. which was prediction of the reign
of Jesus Christ upon earth. The Apostles,
| he said, received from our Lord the justice
of the Spirit of God, and they became oound
| together by an internal bond OF unity anu
| fellowship. He formed that kingdom upon
earth which to this day endures in the holy
Catholic Church. Having sketched the pro-
press of the Church to the time of the down
fall of the Roman Empire, the Archbishop
went on to that period when the provinces
of Spain, the islands of the Mediterranean
and Northern Italy became affiliated to the
Church of Rome, and were the centre and
source from which Christian law and civil
izatiop spread through Europe. Britain had
seven Kingdoms then, which in two cen
turtles became cemented and laid the hrst
foundation of our monarchy. Eng iano De-
came one kingdom, not by conquest, not oy
war, but by the action of Christian truth
and Justice. The English people became a
Christian people, and from the year eOO to
this hour-a thousand years ago-the mon
archy then founded has endured. For q
thousand years there has been "a reign Oh
iustice,,n and if, in the history OF EnSllsil
kings there was one who fulfilled the mis-.
sion of his Master, and was a true prince OF
Justice and peace, twas Edward the Con-
lesser. The people loved him for his JUS
tice, and when he died besought his sue
cessor toIgovern them accoioinS r. 80 ,xns
Edwards law. What was his law p! IL was
founded on supreme regard for the rellGloli
| of Jesus Christ-on love for His faith, and
. His Church and its sacraments. Here even
now they saw tultlment OF its prophecy
as to a :. kingdom of justice Their mon
archy had grown up with CHRISTIANITY
they saw tile temporal rule of a. sovereign
T. over Il people who had received 4 frge eX:
AAnsion of popular rights, and who eliJoyet
perfect freedom-they were ruled by sa'
T. same laws as III Edwards time, and tn'
IS councils of the state had crept into thell
Ii mower as it had been, and the very forms
10 of administering justice then still survived
That was the reason they loved the mem
ory of King Edward, whose ashes repose'
IS in Westminster Abbey. Having argued IL
70 some length that 1T was the spread oA IN !, 10
e tinn faith in England resulting from ne
Y. communion with the Church of Rome whlc
. consolidated our monarchy, DIR. Manning
y referring to the religious instruction OF cnli
W dren, said taat education without reliSlo
IL was that wildtiire which kindled conhaSa
st tons and begat pestilence among nation:
1t would be found that wheresoever the II
sing youth of q country had been educate
j.. without reference to the laws OF religion
10 the more educated they were the mol
%. desperate they became. They had see
y that in the revolutions which had xcoi
q vulsed Europe, and they SHOULD wilne =. u
of fact here if the education OF the EnSush PEI
-. ple ceased to be Christian education.
