AFFAIRS IN IRELAND
BY SEUMAS MACMANUS.

In famed New Ross, where the Wexford
rs rebels put up such brave fight, the
people of Wexford the other day unveiled
a monument to their heroic ones. Mr..
John Redmond had been invited by the
monument committee to do the unveiling.
His reception at this critical juncture in
Ireland's affairs was laden with signifi-
cance. Says a writer in Dublin weekly,
the Peasant: ION the arrival of Mr.. Red
mOnd at the station great crowds were
waiting, but as he moved from the plat
form with his retainers not a single cheer
was heard. The procession passed from
the railway to the hotel in comparative
silence, headed curiously enough by
Sim Fein banner, and not a sound of
welcome was there, except from few
on the hotel steps AT the meeting there
were the same cut-and-dried speeches
that we have heard times out of number
The talk Of the people in general was in
favor of Sim Fein." Great changes are
certainly in the air in Ireland. And he

SUNDAY MORNING CHAT.

In the Southern Churchman Of June p
was a leading editorial on "Open Pulpits
and Church Unity" calling attention to
the fact that the Protestant Episcopal
Church has for many years been a pro-
nOunced advocate of church unity, and
that in Chicago, a good while ago, the
church In general convention adopted a
declaration as a possible basis of church
unity the world over Later this declara-
ton was adopted by the entire Episcopate
of the Anglican Communion. assembled
at the Lambeth conference, In London.
and it has been repeated in general con-
ventiOns, diocesan councils, Episcopal
conferences, and missionary assemblies
almost too many times to be numbered.
The Churchman in vigorous style urges
the Episcopal Church. which has done so
much TO familiarize the world with the
ideal of church and Christian unity, to
remove the one barrier which it thinks
has possibly been a greater cause of Of
fense, Ill Will, and misjudgment to the
various denominations than all other
causes combined-that is, the exclusion of
other Christian bodies from her pulpits
It claims that in the removal of this bar
rier the church would surrender nothing
and transgress no principle, but would
bring about good viii and. kindly feeling
and go far toward convincing others Of
the sincerity of her declarations, and do
more to get a hearing for her plea for
church unity than by any other act in
her power. The general convention which
meets in Richmond in October is urged
TO help along the cause by taking prac-
tical step in this direction.
Among those '1n favor of opening the

Bishop Of Minnesota invited an evangelist

OF course. the foregoing has called out
much comment not only from the Episco-
pal, but other denominations. and one
thing plainly TO be seen is that the bond
Of peace" unites the churchmen Of to-day,
and that the time Of harsh controversy
over church matters has passed, for in
the expression of opinion, whether in IA
vor Of or opposed to the open pulpit, there
has been the utmost courtesy, brOtherly
kindness. and regard shown in the ex-
change Of views.
Many paragraphs have been pointed at
the churches, sometimes supposedly fun
ny, sometimes severe, regarding the d.
vergent creeds taught by their mission
aries in foreign lands, bringing, so It has
been claimed. bewilderment rather than
understanding to the minds cropping for
light In view Of all this, 1 do not think
enough emphasis has been laid upon the
great epoch-making event that took place
at the China centenary conference in

which was interdenominational in char

that the Chinese church should be organ
