THE Cross OF CLoNMAcNoIsE.-On n
wild and dreary piece of grass land on the
borders of the river Shannon, which is
here sluggish and uninteresting, stand the
time worn relics of primitive Christianity
in Ireland. Nearly fourteen hundred years
ago, st. Kieran founded here a seat of
learning, but he did not live to complete
the building of the seven churches, which
were finished soon after his death. The
place was in good condition up to the year
commenced under the English by Fitz-
henr". After this, there was but little in
Permission in the acts of violence, ard
then the seven churches, with their round
towers, deprived of their indwellcrs and
their uses, were abandoned to the slow
but sure workings of time. Ages have since
rolled away, and what desolate spot do
we find here. Every thing in rains except
the old Cross and McCarthy's Round Tow
err. This Tower is about ninety feet in
height, aud is altogether one of the 6uest
of these curious specimens of a5cieut drchI-
lecture to be seen in LELAND. Here, 100,
is the largest enclosure of tombs and
churches to be found in the country but
it is impossible, by description, to give an
adequate idea Of church, towers, tOmbs, or
ruins, without going into greater detail
than our space will allow. The ruin t"

of st. KPrdn, aud urAr 1t is still to I've seen

An American writes from Constantnope
| to the New York Nation complaining of
the religious intolerance practiced by the
Russian Government towards Americans.
The particular act Of higotry referred to is
| the refusal on the part of the Russian auth
horities to allow what the American Bible
Society calls "the Scriptures" to be freely
circulated by American missionaries among
their subjects. This refusal seems all the
more strange to the Bible Society because
the Russian ambassador at COnstantinople
when applied to on the subject, had replied
that there would be no objection to grant
ing the request, as it was 1.-The desire and
effort of his government to put Scriptures
in modern Russ into the hands of all the
people," Copies of the translation in
question were submitted to the Govern
ment, but at the end of eighteen months
the American Minister was notified that
the request must be refused, for the rea.
son I" that the above mentioned transla.
ton, not being found in all points con-
formed 10 the received text, the Imperial
Government has not been able to grant the
permission requested.' The Bible Society
is greatly aggrieved at what is, notwith-
standing, perfectly in'elligible and easily
defensible action. The book which that
society circulates, whether in "modern
Russ" English, German, French, Arabic,
or whatever other tongue, is not, except in
the Imagination of its compilers, the Holy
Scriptures, but % mutilated and defective
version of certain portions thereof. We
are not going to deny that Russia is both
intolerant and prosecuting, but this parti-
cular action is neither the one nor the
other.-Catholic ReUieC.

Church, and with the authority and wisdom
with which you are endowed, come to the
| assistance of mankind, for NO earthly good
can be sufficient for them so long as the
Church of God enjoys not her liberty.
We have the more confidence in you,
iuasmuch as the cause at stake is the cause
of God. AS far as concerns Ourselves, be
assured that We very much prefer to suffer
temporal death than to put on the badges
of a sorrowful servitude. The issue of
this conflict has this significance for pos
terity-that the Church is ever afflicted 7
no, God preserve her from that but that
she ever rejoices in her own liberty.
But, as you have TO bend all your efforts
to anticipate, by Jour authority, your wis
dom, and your zeal, the dangers that
threaten you, you will recognize that moth,
ing can be more opportnne and more useful
than to deliberate in common council what
are the best means of attaining most GER
tainly and most effectually the desired
| object. So long as men attack the Church's
rights, it is Our duty to protect the faithful !;
but the wall of defence will be so much the
more secure, and the defence itself SO much
the more powerful as yodr efforts shall be
more unanimous and more adapted to the
end, and as the measures demanded by the
situation shall be framed and carried out
with greater zeal.
This is why We exhort you to meet as
soon us possible, and after delibcration in
common, to fix on a line of conduct decided
and approved by all, such as may enable
you, conformably with your official duty,
to combat with common accord the evils
that threaten, and euergetically to defend
the liberty of the Church.
| Our exhortation is necessary in order
that We-may not appear to have neglected
| Our duty in a question of such Importance;
! for We are convinced that even without
such exhortation, you would have dis
charged your duty. Also, We have not yet
resigned the hope that God will turn away
the existing evils. That which encourages
| this hope is the devotion and faith of Our
we'll beloved son in Christ, the Emperor
and King, Francis Joseph, whom We have
earnestly adjured in Our new letter of this
day never to tolerate in his vast Empire
that the Church should be subjected to an
ignominious enslavement and his Catholic
| subjects to the greatest Affections.
But, as the number of the Church's as
sailants is great and every assault is
eminently dangerous, you can at least per-
severe calmly. May God vouchsafe to
| guide your decisions, and to support you
by His powerful protection, to the end that
you may be able happily to resolve on and
| to carry into operation all that couduces to
the glory of His name and the salvation of
souls. AS the sign of that Divine protec-
ton and of Our special good will We
affectionately accord to all and to each of
| you, dear Sons and Venerable Brothers, "a
also to the clergy and faithful entrusted to
your vigilance, Our Apostolic Bencdiction.
Given at Rome, at Saint Peters this
seventh day of March in the year 1874, in
the twenty ehth year of Our Pontifcate.

Catholic Libraries.
Portland Catholic Sentinel. I

Portland Catholic Sentinel
Next to the church and school we leok
upon Catholic library as the best auxiliary
a parish can have for tho purpose of assist
ing the pastor in establishing, defending
and propagatng the Catholic faith. Es-
pecialIy is this the case where Catholic
education is the exception, and where chill
dren are so often educated without per-
feet knowledge of the Divine truths of our
holy faith. But even where there are
Catholic schools, Catholic libraries are the
natural adjuncts to expand and strengthen
the faith thus planted in the minds of
youth.
We are living in an age of scepticism
and infideiity, when everything sacred is
scoffed at, and at time when the Catholic
creed is the only barrier that holds the
food gates of infdelity from bursting forth
and deluging the world with anarchy and
disbelief. The best weapons we can place
in the hands of our children, therefore, to
combat this enemy of all religion, are the
productions of Catholic writer's whose tones
will strengthen the souls of the doubling,
and confirm the creed in the hearts of the
innocent.
For these important considerations every
parish should possess a library which can
be commenced at very small cost, and the
amount of good to be derived therefrom
none can estimate. It is as impossible to
be familiar with the history, the antiquity,
the divinity even of the Catholic Church
without perusing religious books and
papers, as it is to become an adept at any
of the natural sciences without course of
study; hence it is necessary, in order to
confirm the youth of every portion of this
land in the precepts of our holy faith, that
they should be provided with good books
that will instil into their hearts a venera-
tion for the antiquity of the Church, re-
verence for her dogmas and ceremonies and
thus erect in every heart an altar wherein
may be placed sanctuary for the perpetual
alteration of our Heavenly father.
should alike engage in, as their interests
are alike identical in all that pertains to
the salvation of souls, and we hope that ere
long every parish in the Province may
boast of it's library not only we'll filled, but
whose books have been we'll read.
