it must be remembered that Orange in

their distardly attempts, some few years

sumo the high ecclesiastical position to
which he had been assigned, such op-
position to his to his ADVENT as the
Orangemen showed last week, while it
would be none less shameful and bar
barous, might have had at least one
feeble excuse. But Dr.. Walsh is no
stranger to the Canadian people. The
greater part of his life has been spent
among them, and there are few men
who have worked harder for Canadian
interests than he, or whose labors and
sacrifices have conferred greater honor
on the country.
It is nearly forty years ago now since
DR.. Walsh first came to Canada and
commenced that career which has since
become so illustrious. He is Kilkenny
man by birth, and he halls fron the
well-known parish of Mooncoiu. ia that
countv. The date Of his birth was
May "a, 1880, so that his 6Osh birthday
is still to come to him. Having shown
an inclination for the ministry, he was
provid I'd by his parents with the means
Of acquiring q classical education. and.
after mastering the rudiments of that
course. he entered the famous st. Johns
College, Waterford. to prosecute his
theological studies. After few years
spent at that institution. he turned his
eyes towards America, and volunteered
to serve on the Canadian missions In
his 22i year, consequently, he crossed
the Atlantic, and offering himself to
the bishop Of Toronto, then Dr. Clar
bonnell, he was sent to the Grand Semi
nary, Mou.real, to complete mis- course.
When DR.. Charbonnel resigned. to re-
turn to France and enter Capuchin
monastery, and when DR.. Lynch was
nam.d his successor at Toronto,
Father Walsh was called to the cathe
dral. st. Michael's on Church street, and
made its rector. The condition Of

presence in That parish, aud he held
