the inspiration and severity of Peter denounce-
ing Ananias for his hypocrisy, the adversaries
of the Church have lost all hope of gaining
their cause, save by outward pressure. and we
should very much underrate the gravity of tho
situation II we thought them capable of leav-
ing one stone unturned to gain their ends.
Tho words quoted by the Aagsbarg Gazette as
those Of NJ. dc Fa!loux are surely sufficiently
significant on this head. NJ. de Falloux has
energetically denied that no ever used them,
but as they are those referred to in the Pope's
speech, 1t may be well to remind your readers
of them. "The Church has not vet had her
revolution of 1889, and she needs it. 1t is me-
cessary that the religious idea should be dis
engaged from certain influences which drag it
down to the aDySs of the alLirfct of hunan
passions" There is no illusion possible as to
the Intentions of writer's, such as these. who
would consider it good and iautlable work, in
failure OF other means, to open the gates of
Rome to the hordes of Italy, and SO by gentle
force bring the Roman Government into ac-
cortlance with the ideas Of the Gazette of Augs-
burg, and the Correspondence That they will
do their worst we have no doubt, and every
hour of delay adds to the danger for Rome, as
the Sect has put in requisiton every shade of
adverse opinions, and has contrived by O mas
of policy to enrol it's quondam adj
Sersaries under its own banners. There is
spot discern a great and pressing danger for
Rome but they do NOT fear, for they have
seen the enemy at the very gates OF the Vati-
can turned back by Gods providence, when
surest of n saBguiuary triumph and they rely
On other aid than that of Princes and Powers.
The words of Plus TX. on the opening of the
Exhibition were so express that no hope can or
loes remain of Cancellation transaction.
After having made n few opening remarks OH
Christian art, as exhibited in three of its no.
clest examples, the Conversion of st. Jerome,
he ..Mosesb of Michael Angelo, and the vati,,
IAN Basiiica, he went on to say: S. have de-
sired that this Exhibition of Works of Art
dedicated to Catholic worship, should take place,
n order to present for the first time to. the
world, in a collective form, the sublime works
inspired by religion; by that religion which it
mas recently been said stands in need of its 1871
Ii is blasphemy borrowed from the greatest
IF Italian demagogues. Religion is unchange-
IDLE, based as she is on q rock and not founded
On sand. She is truth and not an opinion"
1t would be difficult to describe the severe and
almost awful majesty of gesture with which
the Pope uttered these words. One of the hot
test supporters of Gallicanism heard to
CONNIE sill tenoit les fondres du cel dams sa
main" "C'est quill les tient," was the answer.
The Pope, after few moments of silence
sumed. yet the Pope prays fer all, and offers
bis pardon and embrace to- those who repent
and return to him. repeat that the Church
is immutable, and neither can nor aught to
know change! return to the Exhibition. An
other design had in view was to bring toScth-
er the vestment and insignia of ecclesiastical
dignity, in order to obtain, if possible, desira-
BILE uniformity. Let me not be misunderstood
OH this head. am not speaking of the East
ern rites which merit and ought to remain what
they now are. l see around the Oriental
Bishops and desire to reassure them. Let them
keep their venerable and sacred usages de-
sire only one thing of them-namely, that we
'hou!d come to an understanding 10 great.

he Pope in conclusion, .'who has permitted
ne to open this Exhibitions thank the Com
nissioners who have shaSa-such zeal m tho
preparations for it, aud thank the exhibitors.
Let them receive my Benediction in testimony
IF my gratitude, aud may it be extended to
their families, their works, and their Christian
enterprises" 1t was remarked that the dis
,Ouragement.o of the Gallicau party was very
great after the Pope's words were fully known.
