NEW YORK, May 12-The Catholic

gram from the Rev. Francis Stefiens,

The recent rescript Of the Holy Father
on the church question is an indication
Of the Papsl policy to be pursued with
respect to the agitation now carried on
in the Emerald Isle. Archbishop Walsh
of Dublin had many audiences with his
holiness on the subject. The Pope Alarms
that as far as lies in his power he will
protect the interests of the Irish people,
but he will condemn everything In the
land which was of q revolutionary ma
ture. The Holy Father has gone further,
and has informed the English govern
meut that he expects them to do some
thing for the Irish tenant
farmers. T3Ia WAS insisted On by the
Papal Secretary ci Sat- n his conference

EASTER.

All the churches of Greenville wer,
thronged and crowded with their res
pective congregations upon this ami
versary in which all Christians rejoice
The inspiration of such a profound and
hallowed event as the'resurrection was
and will be TO the end of time reflected
and made manifest in pastors and peo-
pie. This, joined with the marked
moral advancement of the community
produced an unusual number of addi-
tions to the membership of the various
denominations; twenty three to the
Episcopal, ten to the Methodist, max
ing forth-four since Christmas, and a
number of candidates for baptism in
Baptist church.
The chief feature Of Easter day was
the presence and preaching of Bishop
Thompson, always looked forward to
with expectancy and pleasure by Jews
and Gentiles. On this visit his SER
mons were Of unusual power and PEN
etration.
This day figures in Jewish religious
chronology as the close of Passover,
and was SO celebrated at the Syna-
gogue.
Evidencing the growth of Greenville
and the activity in its moral and relig-
ious life, the church buildings are all
being proved too small for present and
future needs. Some or all will have to
be added to in the near future.
