world. Passing over for want OF time the noble ex.
ertions Of Catholics In every cline he would con-
slider the labors OF one order aone-that Of The Pas

THE IRISH PRIEsTHooD.-It is something to
find an English Protestant paper vindicating
the character and social position of the Irish
priesthood. Such u phenomenon, however, is
comprised in the following article- which we
take from recent number of the Daily Ne,cs
The writer of letter in the Pail Mall Gazette,
referring to the ''soeial status of Irish priests9
Upper House that "the Roman Catholic clergy
of Ireland are not taken from the upper aud
middle classes of the country, but slmost
entirely from the peasantryy' while DIR. Ball
asserted that he had never met an Irish secular
priest in good society. The latter statement is
a strange one coming from resident in Dublin,
judges, who might even be good society enough
for DR.. Ball. Lord Houghtons notion is more
| excusabiy incorrect; it might have been
patttay tanS a true m thirty or forty Years ago. It Is
to-do yeomen farmers, and the Roman Catholic
gentry, keep up the supply of recruits at
Maynooth College, and as a body the priests
as well educated and well bred as the isly-
men, doctors or solicitors of either the Protest
ant Roman Catholic communities. The
"social status" of the priest is another matter
obtain the recognition ofa gradually narrowing
| section of Irishmen who are either bigots
or unretlecting enthusiasts; bnt although
| DR.. Ball never met priest in good
| society, matter of fact in the cities
| there is liberal enlightenment among
| Protestants on this score which will be un-
uOuDtcuiJ lhClossScA but oCiiOn OF Une meas
ure which DR.. Ball opposed with SO brilliant
display of futile logic DIR. Balls social vision
is evidently limited since he abandoned few
Liberal convictions which he wore very grace
/ fully for a time; it may be improved when a
1 decent interval elapses, which may enable him
to come round again unembarrassed by that
sincere credulfty of an advocate which made
him fight with such vigor for the maintenance
of aseendancy. There is somewhat carica-
ture notion of the Irish priest prevalent in
England, which is about as correct as the stage
conceptions of an Irish servant. People forget
that a generation has almost risen mp since the
| first appearance of the Father Tins of Mr. Lee
yer, or the same type copied by Mr.. Bouci-
cault. Dr. Ball might find hundreds of priests
who drink much Rhine or French wine as
whisky punch, and neither to excess who
read the newest books, reviews and magazines;
who travel nearly every year on the continent /;
and use every opportunity of culture that
comes in their way. The modern priest differs
ia the cities in no wide respect from his Pro
testant brethren of the cloth, allowing, of
course, for the distinctions ia manner effected
by the celibate theory of life. The idea of dis
| has n1sAa
I Lord HoughtOn or DIR. Ball seems to be/aware
of; when the idea becomes an energetic fact,
the priests will no doubt be found equal to the
new sphere or the now status to which they
are supposed to he elevated byan act of politi-
/ cal jnstice. elrer

THE YANKEE FAILURE In PALEsTINE.-At the
next New England gloriieation, we hope due
notice will be taken of the brilliant capacity
for replanting the Gospel ON the soil where
first it grew which was shown by the New
England emigrants who went out some years
ago to colonize .Jaffa-the Joppa of Scripture.
The emigrants who landed on Plymouth Rock
in 1920 wereEnglishmen, and though they came
over to this then savage country In wretched
little tub of q ship, and long before the human
intellect had been developed TO its true
perfection by the influence of Massachusetts,
learning and Maine law, they contrived to
establish their enterprise in very solid and
enduring manner. The emigrants who landed
at Joppa in 1867 were New Engfandmen Of the
most advanced Radical and truly loyal type.
They went opt to Palestine with all the ad-
vantageS which New England genius" and
"nneteenth century civilization" could give
them, and in rather less than a year they con-
trived to spend all their substance, to get
themselves decimated by local diseases, and
te-eo,ne helpless paupeEsL npon--.t the
hands of foreigner acting as American
Consul i'll Jerusalem. Thanks to the energy
and humanity of this official, the miserable
remnant of them were finally shipped home
again. We dare say that all of them who are
| not now post-masters in some reconstructed
Southern State occupied as eustom-h ouse
| officers under Secretary Boutwell, in preventing
| the undue developments of American commerce
| with foreign ports or as revenue assessors and
Inspectors under Commtssioner Lelano IN

The contest now in England and throughout

"AND so WE GO TOWARDS RoME."-The

Observation and inquiry lead us, to the cons

Newman in his Parochial Sermons is generally
accepted by High Churehmen OF the present
day. and is reproduced in many of the pnipits
of onr Church IL we are correct, what ane We
to expect WILDE the result of such teaching !
We know that the theoretical views embodied
in those discourses carried thelf author lnt9 CIs

they were fully developed and applied.
Whether there are Romanizing germs IN the
Prayer Book, may be an open question, put
can be no doubt whatever. Yet they are re-
published in the interests of the High Church
party, and by High ChuTchmen are commented
as the freshest, finest and most finished,
sermons of the day. And so we go towards
