1887 to take charge of the Ursuline
house at Springfield. Ill., She had no,
been outside of convent walls once
during these fifty-one years, and this
was her first sight Of locomotive and
other modern wonders.

request your Lordship to remind the

no doubt that if the Catholics of Amer

is founded OF the fact that in those
dioceses where the bishops and priests
have taken a. particular interest in en-
tightening their people on the subject
the contributions have been more lib
eral than in others. Moreover, to in

Ancient Irish Bells.

1t was about the time of ST. Patrick,
in the fifth century, that bells began
to be adopted in the Christian church,
though their use in other directions
first Christian bells. like Patrick's
weighed only few ounces. and from
that they gradually increased till the
greatest weight was reached at Mos
COW with 1913 tons Of beautifully en-
rched work. a strange contrast to the
humble "Clog-anearhacta Patriac.' or
',bell of Patricks WE'LL sometimes re-
ferred to as the bell Of Armagh, with
it's dimiutive dimensions of inches
high by inches broad 4 inches Deep
made of thin sheets Of hammered iron,
bent into a four sided form, fastened
This bell is at once the most authen-
tic and the oldest Irish relic of Chris
tian metal work that his descended
to us. writes W. J. Fennell in the Bel
fast Gazette, and is mentioned in the
Annals under the date of $50.
Such as this were the bells of the
early apostles of Ireland. but the age
was q, progressive one, and advancing
art soon claimed the bells to work on,
and the hammered iron gave way to
bronze castings, more skiIlfu work.
manship and to more perfect reson-
ance. We are fortunate enough to
have on loan the finest example in
the Bangor bell Of what the craft of
bell making had advanced to by the
time the tenth century had dawned.
For 500 years the iron bell of Patrick
had done it's duty, and now it had
to be laid by.
The same story applies to many
other famous bells of Ireland and their
shrines, but the church loved these
ancient bells and their associations
rendered them mast precious relics
They must be preserved, and the far
famous gold workers of Ireland came
to the rescue and brought the national
art, then in the zenith of it's perfec-
ton, to bear on the eases to hold
them called "shrinos" and by far the
most beautiful of all was that for the
bell of the great patron saint of Ire
land.
The Shrine" was made to inclose
the rude iron bell. This fine ex-
ample of the goldsmith's work must
have been executed between the years
1891 and 11O5, with DonelI McAuley,
whose name is given in the inscrip-
ton. filled the sec of Armagh The
shrine parts are fastened down with

covered with scrolls. some in aIto-re-
lievo and some in has-relief. It is also
decorated with gems and crystals, and
on the sides are animal forms, elongat-
ed and twisted into interlaced scrolls.
Since the original shrine was made, in
1921, it has never been lost sight of,
but has been handed down from Gus
todian to custodian, generally of the
same family.

years Of age, when she went to the
Ursuline convent at Quebec, and be-

years later she made her vows as an

II Pays to Remember.

That Gossips never secure "perman-
ent jobs"
That happiness is found only when
you look within, not without.
That love may be ever so great, but
must lso be wise, to grow.
That to be poor without losing self
respect or a sense of enjoyment is a
fine art.
That mediocrity. provided it be per-
severing, accomplishes more than f1t-
full talent. Hares and tortoises still
run races.
