AN ANXIOUS TIME.
Duke of Newcastle Dicusses Situation
in England.

in England.
New York, April 16=The Duke of
Newcastle, who, next to Lord Halifax,
is the leader of the ritualistic or ~CatH-
olic'' party in England, made an ad-
dress on Sunday before the Mems Guild
of the Church of St. Mary the Virgin
the highest" Episcopal church in New
York.
I'VE in England are passing through
a most anxious time" he said AT the
moment the war abSorbs public notice
and we are enjoying a temporary lull,
but it is only temporary, and I fear
We have much trouble ahead. When
the archbishopS delivered their prepos-
ferrous judgment last July Catholics
were dumbfounded, because most of
them thought that at least it would be
a compromise odious as compromise al
ways is when matters of Catholic faith
and practice are at stake.
But the judgment being what it was,
the right course would have been for
Catholics to present united front and
firmly to refuse obedience. That the
decision was only an opinion we have
the primate'S own authority for stating.
Unfortunately Catholics did not act to-
gether, and many of those priests whom
we had looked up to as pillars of the
faith were the first to yield, some
through sheer panic. others through
what I think a mistaken sense of duty.
THANK God there are some who re-
main firm Their positions are very
different, and in some dioceses the
bishops are pursuing a. course of sys-
tematic persecution of those priests who
will not betray their people by surren-
dering their Catholic principles.
Il have maintained throughout that
the incense must be fought for vigor-
ously, because the real attack is not
upon it, but upon the whole doctrine Of
the Eucharist. It is the real presence
that Kensit and all the blatant Pro-
testants of England hate, and it is said
that great Catholic truth that they are
determined to root out of Englands
church if they can. Incense is only a.
preliminary object of objection, but it
is quite certain that all the rest will
follow, and that is why we cannot sub
nit
Il feel-many Catholics feel-that
the only remedy for the evil is disestab-
lishment. In the days when every
member of parliament was at least
nominally a churchman, the connec-
ton between church and state was pos
sible. but now, when parliament con-
tains men of all religions and of no re-
ligion. the connection is an anomaly,
and if parliament should attempt to re-
wise the prayer book, a contingency by
no means impossible. tremble to think
what the result would be. I dislike to
see old things disturbed, but my con-
victiOn is that we Catholics in England
should work for the complete independ-
ence of the church, and you here will
I am sure, assist us with your prayers
