At tile time of delivery we noticed this lee
tare, which was very favofably commented on
by the press, and in accordance with a univer-
sally expressed wish, it is nowspnblished in
pamphlet form. The fame of Mr.. Sfarshaii as
author of one of the most comprehensive
works on missions, naturally raised ptiblic OK
pectation, and that expectation was not disap-
pointed, as is evidenced by the printed lecture,
To show how intelligently even the humbIest
Catholic child is instructed in matters OF filth
we extract the following anecdote: ri
Some years ago was present officially at
the examination of an English primary school,
in which the children displdyed such unusual
accuracy and intelligence as Icing the ques-
tons turned only upon secular subjects, that
was anxious to ascertain whether they could
reason as we'll aboat the truths of the Cate
chism, as they could about those of grammar
and arithmetic. i communicated my desire TO
their clergyman, who kindly permitted me to
have recourse to Il test which j had employed
OH other occasions. j requested him to inter
rogate them on the Notes of the Church, and
when they had explained in the usuif manner
the meaning of the word Catholic, took up
the examination, with the consent of the priest,
and addressed the following question to the
class: :" You say the Church is Catholic be-
cause she is everywhere. Now, have visited
many countries, in all parts of the world, and
never came to one in which l did not find
heresy. If, then, the Church is Catholic be-
cause she is everywhere, why is not heresg Ca
tholic, since heresy is everywhere also 7" s. If
you please, sir" answered little girl about
twelve years of age, :" the Church is every
where, and everywhere the same; heresy may
be everywhere, too, as you say, hnt il is every
where di6cyent.' ~.

The old fame ofthis review for solid reading
and reliable statistics is we'll sustained. The
present editor, Mr. BurwelI, is one of the most
accomplished writer's of the day, fully imbued
with the requirements of the period, especially
as it relates to Southern interests, and the
auxiliary in developing her resources and con-
centratng public attention on her unsurpassed
advantages should be properly sustained.

engaged in agricultural pursuits than in call
ing attention to the terms of this the largest

country. The publishers, for the sake of
securing at once 100000 subscribers for 1870,
