Prof. wetherell on Cardinal cheverus

On the l1tll nit. Leander Withercll, Esq,
delivered, by invitation, at the Unitarian
Chapel in Boston, ii lecture on Cardinal Cheve-
rus. The Boston riot, from which copy,
says that, apart from the interest natural to
the subject, it becomes still more when
given ut the solicitation of Protestant audi
ence, and by one fully capable of vestigating
and setting forth its merits. The very fact of
our separated brethren desiring to hear more
of Catholic views, bespeaks growing spirit of
candor and liberality which must result for
good, and, certainly in the Professors hands,
the occasion was not lost to render it in a man
ner worthy the name of him whom all need but
to know to appreciate and admire. We copy the
concluding portion
Having, with some difficulty, secured pas
sage to America, he took his departure, and
many were the tears shed for him by those he
left behind him in Old England. During the
VOYAGE there were none but the kindest feelings
of reel procity and respect between Nj. Cheverus
and all on board and, on the Sd of October,
1876, he arrived in Boston, and was received
by Able Matignou AS an angel from heaven,
whom he embraced with tears of joy. Bishop
Carroll was at once informed of his arrival,
and, without delay, NJ. Cheverus was in
vested with full powers for entering on
his ministry. At once they entered upon their
work in great earnest. Catholics then were
few, and scattered among English cOlonists
who held all the prejudices of their ancestors
against the Catholics. Protestant ministers
then never ceased to declaim against the
Papacy, IL they called it, representing il as an
impure asscmbluge of idolators-of corrupt

NUMBER 1.

Cardinal Archbishop Of Bordeaux The light
of his life and character hsd shone as o bright
star of hope, whose mild and piercing ray had
very heart of his beloved France. She needed
the benign lustre of his virtue, and to her he
resolved to devote the remainder of his days.
Deep was his anguish at the thought of leav-
ing forever the beloved people among whom
he had so long and SO successfully labored, and
sad indeed was the parting of that people from
him whom they had learned to regard as q
loving father. It would be Impossible to de-
scribe the scene at his last adieu to Boston.
Hundreds of carriages filled with the highest
and best of all ranks and religions, followed
for him was the theme of every heart, and the
Protestant press spoke of him as a public
benefactOr, and boon to the city.
