Bishop McGolrick gave an account Of
his sojourn in Great Britain and ireland.
While in the latter place he visited his
old Alma Mater, where he ordained sew
eral young divines for missions in vari-
GUS parts of the world. He sat with his
old tutors and professors OF whom he
stood SO much in awe in his school days.
and had no doubt they remembered all
the marks against him in their black
book though they pretended to have for
gotten them. He met all the bishops Of
Ireland assembled at Maynooth college
and received invitations to visit wi til all
Of them, Which, if accepted, would oc-
cupy his time for the next FIVE years.
He visited the schools of the Christian
Brothers and was convinced that the
efficiency OF these schools is such that
the people OF ireland will, in the near
future, be the best educated people in
the world; that the youth educated in
these schools pass the most successful
examinations for government and COM
mercial positions; that they are now Civ
ing their attention to subject hereto
fore neglected, and that is, technical and
manual training and the necessary
mathematics to insure proficiency in
that branch, so that the young mechanic
may be not only a skilled workman but
may have the ability TO plan, execute
and supervise work on his own account
or as master workman. He found the
cause OF temperance very much neglect
ed by priest and people. In England,
he had the great pleasure OF meeting
Cardina! Manning, and of being intro
duced by him to men prominent in edu-
cational and literary circles, and in the
total abstinence cause. The cardinal in
troduoed him to very large man with
the remark: "This is my body-guard:
be has saved my life on many occasions
by keeping back the crowds and pre-
venting them from crushing me; his
name is Moriarity; he 10 from Kerry"
Be said that the cardinal, though great
man and prince of the Church, is the
most humble and approachable of men;
that he is a great philanthropist. and a
friend to the poor to whom his doors are
always open, and who seek his advice
and counsel in all their trials, and that
with all his exacting duties he is never
too busy to listen to and comfort them.
He said that until recently the Catholic
church in England was composed almost
exclusively of the poor, but that in the
last few years conversions among the
nobility and the educated have been so
numerous that it is no longer regarded |
as social ostraoism to join the Church !; |
that the accessions from those ranks to |
The Church have the effect of setting the !
middle classes to studying the doctrines |
IF the Church, and Of bringing them into
it's fold. He visited Scotland also, and |
found there as we'll as in England and |
Ireland that the people were sadly in |
need of temperance reform that it was
10 common an occurrence to see men
under the influence Of liquor

bishop said that a movement was about

bishops in this country, with the aid OF
hose in Ireland it is hoped, may give
