WHrPPANT, May 10, 1880.
Editor Chronicle:
Iregret to find that the tone of my re-
cent letters has given offence to my
friends in this locality. They have inter
preted too seriously observations which
were intended merely as harmless bad
image and pleasantly. 1 never dreamed
of intimating that the Catholic commu>
nifty here had not exhibited its sympathy
for famine-stricken Ireland in the most
practical form, by extending to the sufs
fering people of that afflicted country,
prompt pecuniary aid, proportionate to
the means of the donors. Such an inn
putation would be palpable injustice
and I would be the first to condemn it
emphatically, as injurious and unjustifia>
BILE. | did not think my remarks wars
ranted the unfayorable influence which
has been drawn from these, and | can
only say that they were not designed to
convey that construction. In estimating
the value of donation, it is necessary to
take into consideration the number and
resources of the subscribers. The wid-
owls mite is as precious in the eye of the
Lord as the princely gift of the millions
aire, and as deserving of recompense.
MeasKed by this comparative standard.
the offering of the Church of our Lady of
Mercy toward the relief of the Irish dis
tress .xiust be regarded not merely as
fairly proportionate, but as exceptionally
ample and generous. Comprising, ac>
cording to this years parochial census,
barely seventy FAMILIES, or about $50
members, of whom only $50 are adults,
the church does not find a compensation
in the wealth for the smallness of its
congregation. With few exceptions the
worshipers belonging to it are in an
humble condition of life. Many are
poor and the vastmajority are in moder>
ate circumstances. Yet, notwithstand~
ing their poverty and paucity of mem~
bers, the amount which they have do.
mated from their paroehlal funds and
other sources for this laudable purpose,
supplemented blythe pastors subscription
has at present reached an aggregate of
$4,000. The evening plate collection to
which reference has been previously
made, amounted to $34.00, and must be
computed as only one and the least i'm
portant of the items appropriated to
this charity.
1t will be readily admitted that, all
things considered. the figures here res
corded furnish very tangible and SUBJ
lstantial evidence Of Christian beneficence
and practical sympathy. A glance at the
subscription lists published in the New
York Herald and other papers will suffice
to convince any of your readers who may
be interested in the matter, that the of
fering from Whippany is not merely rel>
atlyely hut absolutely larger than the
respective donations of many hundreds
of parishes in this country far more exs
tensive, and exceeding this parish fvee
fold and even tenfold in opulence and
population If all the Catholics OF the
United States had contributed in the
same proportion as the people of this To-
cality the collection for the suffering Isle
of the Sea would have realized not merely
100000 but fully 100000.
