but left him greater in the eyes of all
thoughtful and impartial people than
before, since he only showed that
while he disdained to lie, he could
hold his tongue, even when provoked
to the utmost by the ingratitude of
those who betrayed his trust, and
who, relying upon his magnanimity,
sought to save themselves from re-
proach at his expense.
Warren Hastings trial broke his
health and his spirits. In the same
way the health and spirits Of Cecil
Rhodes were shattered by the Parlia-
mentary Investigation to which he
was subjected, as well as by the news
paper and oratorical abuse to which
he, like Warren Hastings, was sub
jected in connection with the Parlia
mentary proceedings against him.
At any rate Cecil Rhodes health
failed from the time of the Parlia
mentary inquiry. He narrowed down
the circle Of his friends. secluded HIM
self more from society than ever be-
fore, and seemed thoroughly embitter-
ed by the treatment to which he had
been subjected by his countrymen.
Once the idol of the Masses like War
rem Hastings, Cecil Rhodes became,
in the closing years of his life, thanks
to the campaign of calumny carried
on against him. an object of the most
bitter luminosity on the part of Il large
section of his countrymen. Like Hast
ings. the only recognition that Rhodes
ever received from the crown for his
services as an empire builder was Il
Privy Councilorship, and, like Warren
Hastings. it has not been until his
death that people have become alive to
the part which he has played in build
ing up the British Empire.

The Duke is evidently a convert to

Sir Thomas More guilty of high trea-
son for refusing to acknowledge the
king as supreme head of the church.
Norfolk called Sir Thomas traitor

the Duke of Norfolk remained q rene.
gade to Catholicity and died in the
reformed religion of the royal mon

the present day had lived in Henry
Wis time, would he apostatize like
his ancestor? We trow, he would. Had
he any respect for the church to which
he now belongs. he would not kow-tow
to King Edward when that royal rake
is insulting the religion which he
processes. He ought to resign his job
and let Il Protestant take his place ut

ARCHBISHOP CHRISTIE.
The Popular Prelate breaches an
Eloquent Sermon.

On Sunday, March %. the sermon
at high mass at ST. N1arys Catholic
church, Albina, Ore, was delivered by
Archbishop Christie, who selected rs
his subject, "Who Can Forgive Me MY
Sins?" The service was attended by
large congregation. Every seat was
occupied. and but Tor the attention of
the ushers, quite number would have
been compelled to stand. In addressing
the congregation, the archbishop spoke
of the Improvements which were re-
Gently made in the church. and asked
it they had been paid for. If they had
not been paid for, steps toward liquida-
ton should he taken at once A church
once built was a gift of the parish to
God, and a gift encumbered by mort
gage was not a free gift.
Taking up his subject. Archbishop
Christie said it was most serious
question. THE Master" he said, in
part, "came to deal with sin and sin
ners. and He tells us that the eternal
Father has given Me all power. Did
Christ, although He told us He came
with power. did He forgive sins? He
did. You know the history of Mary
MagdaeN, who used her beauty to drag
souls to sin. In her state Of sinful
ness no doubt. she questioned her soul
and askel: How shall l be forgiven
and he once more a child of God?' She
fastened to Christ and told Him about
her life Of sin. that she had been in
strumental in taking souls away from
Him. Her contrition was deep and her
confession heartfelt. and He said to
her, Arise, my child, and sin no more
Her sinfulness made her the despisetl
of all. But the Master made her His
companion, and the companion of His
blessed mother, Mary, queen of heaven.
She went to Him a sinner: she left
Him a saint.
Did He take the power of forgive
ness with Him or did He delegate it
to men on earth? He did invest men
with that power. and men have exer-
ciseh it since He left the earth. and
will exercise it until the end. But here
is difficulty. Many persons, especial
ly non-Catholics, do not understand the
giving of power to man. They do not
comprehend that Christ delegated His
authority to man before He left the
earth, and that if man has exercised
that authority on his fellow-man it is
Gods power, not mans. Man can
never forgive sins. 1t is Gods power
that forgives sins through the instru-
mentality and agency of man."
The archbishop referred to doubters.
past and present. and then referred To
the separated brethren Protest
ants believed in baptism which made
infants children of God and heirs of
Heaven. The same Protestants did MT
believe in the confessional because thew
thought the power of man should not
be placed between their souls and God.
Their belief was not consistent, be.
cause at the baptismal font man was
present, and by him was performed q
part of the work which made the in
FAINT an heir to heaven.
| In conclusion the archbishop advised
the congregation to fulfill the usua, dn-
ties of Easter

HASTINGS AND RHODES.

Warren Hastings, the governor gen-
eral of India. who was so elouucntly
impeached by Burke and Sheridan in
Westminster Hall. as told by Macau-
lay, and acquitted of his high crimes
and misdemeanors after Il trial Of
seven years. lived to the age of i.
Cecil Rhodes, the South African I'M
perinliSt rcsembled Hastings in many
respects and died ut the comparatively
early age of 40. The Marquise de Fon-
tenoy writes of them both as great
Englishnen because of their capacity
for extending the British empire in
the predatory style Of the Anglo-SaN
ons. She sees nothing to censure but
everything to admire in the career Of
the two English worthless who drench-
ed two continents in blood and rob-
bed and murdered inferior races to
bring them under the benign sway of
England. She says:
AS in the case of Warren Hastings,
the death of Cecil Rhodes was ncces-
| sary in order to render his country
alive to the greatness of his services
to the British Empire, and it is pass
ing strange that in none of the obit-
uaries of the South African colossus
attention has been drawn to the OK
trnortlinary analogy between the GRO
ator of British South Africa and the
creator of British India.
Rhodes, the son of an obscure coun-
try clergyman, and, whereas Rhode,
was compelled to seek Il career in
South Africa on account of his health
it was IL similar delicacy of constitu
ton that led Hastings to migrate as /,
frail youth to British India. Hastings
acquired fame, fortune. high office
and the powers of Il dictator in India;
precisely as Cecil Rhodes did in Soutl
Africa, and in the same way tina
Rhodes preserved South Africa I,
