A British war office blunder with re-
gard to the blessings of the colors of the
Irish Guards has provoked sharp COM
ment from some of the papers. AS an
nounced some time ago, the Rt. Rev. DR..
was invited and consented to perform the
ceremony. The king, it appears, ex-
pressed hope that when the bishop
blessed the colors he would not wear his
episcopal cope and mitre, since these
would preclude his displaying his numer-
Gus hard-won decorations and war med
ais. HIS maJeStyS desire was received
by Bishop Brindle as command, and
arrangements were in progress for the
function, when it was intimated to the
bishop that the Anglican chaplain gen.
eral was to take part with him in the
service. All Catholics are we'll aware
that the church is decidedly averse to
joint services of Catholics and non Cath
olics, inasmuch as they tend to foster the
idea that one religion is as good as an
other. The bishop of Nottingham, there
fore found that he could not accept the
invitation that had been given to him. and
he was entirely in accord with the car
dinal archbishop of Westminster in COM
ing to this decision. Application was then
made to the Catholic chaplain, Father
Cyril Foster, and after representations on
his part it was agreed that he should
blass the colors and then leave the pa
rade ground. A feeling of strong indig-
nation has, it is stated, been aroused
amongst the members of the regiment by
the action of the war office
