Archbishop Ireland is of the opinion
that priests and laymen should mingle
more together in this country than
they have hitherto done. The priests
Of France kept aloof from the people,
and behold the state of religion in that
Catholic country today! The priests ia
America come in closer touch with the
people by joining the A. o. H., the
Knights of Columbus. and various 9TH
er organizations in which they act as
chaplains and as consequence thay
know their focks better than If they
had kept at distance from them
Priests and people can accomplish
more by united effort in the cause of
church and country than If they keep
apart from each other in secular at
fairs. When a layman perceives that
priest is interested in his material
welfare he will willingly believe thai
he is also interested in his spiritual
welfare on every day of the week as
we'll as Sunday.

For the benefit of the latter we will
say that if they depend for correct

to the affairs of the Church Of which
they profess to be members, they will
very often be misinformed. It is safe
for them to take nothing: for granted
concerning the Church until tits :veri-
fled by the Catholic paper. and if they
take no Catholic paper. how are they
to find out that the news they have
read in the daily press is false ana

In this age of enlightenment and
progress no Catholic Of intelligence can
afford to be without a Catholic. paper.
There was never a time when SO, many
excellent Catholic papers were pub
lished in this country as today, and
Catholics can make their choice for a
good family journal for two dollars a
year. which will give them all the cor.
rect religious information they re-
auire. ~. s
+ There is no excuse for a, Catholic
family to be without Catholic paper
OF some kind. What opinion can one

ny their children a Catholic paper on

fson to regret their action when their
boys and girls become men and wo-
men of the world. How much they
have missed by being deprived of 4

Nothing at all. They are satisfied with

give the salient points in the great

On the Irish budget in the House OF

leadership has achieved sfSF14ats Ireland
during the past four years. This lie

falsely claim that the Irish party has
done nothing but saddle an extra two
million pounds on Ireland in the finan-
cial bill rejected by !, the Lords, and
who blame him for not voting against
that bill when it came to it's third

To give an illustrations: When
Archbishop Walsh Of Dublin, an ar.
dent supporter of the Parliamentary
party since it's inception, read the
speech of Mr.. Redmond in reference to
the grant for the New Irish University,
he wrote to the Freeman's Journal, the
item enumerated by Mr.. Redmond was
too high as 1t stands, owing to the
fact that former grants to the three
Queens Colleges had been Withdrawn
by the government. These amounted
in all to IS thousand pounds. which,
When deducted from 81 thousand
pounds, given under the Irish Uni
versities Act of last year. would leave
the actual financial beneit" as thou
sand pounds. That Of course, is cor
rect; but Mr.. Redmond was correct in
the figures he, gave in his speech. - =
| The Archbishop in his letter :says:
II do not question the correctness of

Redmond relies. know nothing Of

knew of the figures presented by Mr..
Redmond was the net grant to the
