In the second place, l recon- mend to you q
apecial ard urgent need OF the Church. In
a few days the Assembly of a great nation
has to treat of our affairs, and there will be
some speakers to take our part. Let us
then pray for this Assembly In order that
she resolutions it may come to may tend to
the glory Of God, to the good OF Christen-
dom, and to the advantage of the Holy See,
and that they may be beneficial to the
great nation Of which speak, 80 that 1t

THE PRESS.
The Editor Of the Osserpatore Romano
was cited the other day before the Court of
Assizes to answer for the contents Of two
leading articles considered by the Govern

SCHOOL QUESTION.
The Government lie not destined to have
it all it's own way in the school question,
ten ia after all to be fought here. Not
that the organs Of the Liberal party, or the
"0ld Catholic" and Evangelical orators,
have q word to say against the Goddess col
lege system. The opposition comes from
very different and altogether unexpected
quarter. The initiative has been taken by
Rabbi Coen, and by DR.. Samuel Toscano,
munity, in a manifesto dated from the
Ghetts. The manifesto runs as follows:
"a calamity incouceivable on that happy
day, the goth of September 1870, is now IL
sad reality. The Word of God is no longer
taught the children of Israel. Our sacred
Lyceum, where the holy bread of religious
inssruction- was broken TO hundreds of
children, ric., and poor, has fallen. Those
halls were the name of the God of Abra-
ham was called upon are deserted. Our
children frequent schools where 1sraePs
creed is forgotten. We have no excuse.
We held high the banner of her religion in
the face Of fierce and iutoleraut opposition,
we ifourshed under the bigoted rule of the
cid Government, and the breath of liberty
should have waited towards us new pros
perity and new splendors."
