ing upon the throne, spoke substantially as fouows:
There many subjects which naturally, suggest
themselves on such an occasion a5 tns. mghI Speak
OF myself and make an appeal dd9'seroordtum Bnt u
would do good. Whatever may have been my leelhgs
about assuming the new Responsiveness the maler Is
settled and We must take each other pastor ana people,
as people do when they get married-for better or Tor
worse. 1t would be more pleasant Tor me TO speak OF
this venerable see OF the good name enjoys foughoue
the country and OF the great good men VINO nave been
called in Gods providence to rule over IT, might speak,
too Of what these old walls have seem OF those early pro-
yincia councils which did much to advance religion,

Alter speaking OF the feeling OF responsibility which
had taken possession OF h mind ever snce IL was ale
certain that he to be Prmate, and saying that after
having been Bishop 20 years, he thought before THIS
appointment that be had become accustomed to the
hOrns inside inter, Archbishop Bayley continued at
length ia regard TO tho mutual responsibilities OF
himself and his people. The responsibilities OF which
now speak, he said, might be called exterior respQnsl
bilites, which rest upon ns as Catholics Vng IN these
times and this country. We 1--we in time OF great ex-
element and great change, time when every
thing Is brought into discussion, when the
most sacred and best recognized truths are
questioned when the falscst theories in regard to
IgiOn government, everything, are spread about on
every side we live In time when the influence of the
great majority Of the periodical press Is on the side OF
naturalsm instead Of journal
other and TO which almost every one now goes Tor ln-
structiOn, young well as Old. There are some know,
VINO gdIu thes1 tnlngs as Ine egus Vi lIe
but look upon them as the signs OF the last tes One
oS siVe Of authority Of Telregaass liberty and
dangerous TO the safety of the Christian
family which the basis OF all Christian institutions
Against these influences the Irish Catholics have but
protection, and that is the teachings Of their holy
religion. There scientific men who speak OF the
Church thing Of the past which has done great good
In times gone by, but which must now give may to
but they know Less OF the Church than they do of the
stars whose light has never reached the earth.
Tue Archbishop then exhOrted his hearers not to be
discouraged reminding them that the Church had fought
many a battle and had always been victorious. In
speaking OF the power OF the Catholic religion TO guide
even ignorant men aright the Archbishop said that
aud seseekers but who heard he asked, OF good
Catholic or even an average one joining the Interna-
womens rights meetingi This lac considered a great
matter, and Catholics ought be thankful that their
lgion protected them from all such miserable isms.
Archbishop Bayey In closing dscOursed at length
on the necessity OF in the OF words illustrating
his meaning by calling attention TO the peryerslon
which men IN these later days have put upon such words
