HOME RULE PLEDGE
Given Publicly in London by the Prime
Minister.

At monster meeting in Albert
hall, London, Herbert Henry Asquith,
the British prime minister, laid down
the policy on which the Liberal gov
ernment is appealing to the country.
He repeated what had been said by
other ministers-that if returned the
government would demand the limita-
ton of the power Of the house of lords
and then went step further and
pledged that the Liberal party would
grant self-government to Ireland.
The premier's pledge on this subject
was in the following words:
speaking last year before my ac-
cession to the premiership I described
the Irish policy as the one undeniabie
failure of British craftsmanship.
repeat tonight what I said then, and
on behalf of my colleagues and, be-
lieve, on behalf of my party, reiter-
ate that this is problem to be solved
only in one way-by a policy which,
while explicitly safeguarding the su-
preme, indivisible authority of the i'm
perial parliament, can set up in Ire
land system of full self government
as regards purely Irish affairs
"There is not and cannot be any
question of separation. There is no,
and cannot be any question of rivalry
or competing for supremacy subject
to these conditions. That is the Lib
eral policy. For reasons which we be.
lieve to have been adequate the pres.
ent parliament was disabled in ad.
vance from proposing any such solu.
iio3, but in the new house the Lib.
eral government at the head of Lio.
eral majority will in this matter III

SO hard. Who can imagine st. Joseph's
eagerness and anxiety! AS to Mary
the touching preparations which
mothers usually mako for the birth
OF their children served to make her
feel her difficulties all the more.
However, even this cloud of uneasi-
ness could not disturb her. She bore
within her bosom the "Ordainer" OF
all things-He who knows all and can
do all. TO be anxious about Him
would be puerile. AS to herself--what
did 1T matter? Had she not every
thing-all-with that Treasure? When
given to her, could she envy the
wealthy mothers? To suffer with Jesus
in her bosom was for her. a double
JOY; it was to share in the role Of
the Saviour even before He Himself
had entered upon tit was to carry
the cross in bearing Him who would
extend Himself upon 1t. She awaited
the Will of God. And this God, poured
into her soul. drop by drop. a serenity
greater than that of the night which
enveloped the hillside.
Joseph searched diligently but found
no place. At last, having no further
hope in man, they thought of the grot-
| to under the xnol. 1t is to this place
they wend their way. Providence, kind.
maternal and active, conducted their
steps.

anything which would remove the
Irish Nationalists from this historic
and, hope, final fight for home rule
and against the house of lords, as aa
irreparable disaster.
The speech of Mr.. Redmond and the
decision of the Irish bodies at home
this peril. The English and the Irish
masses are marching to battle togeth-
er for the same ends, against the same
enemies. And that is the ideal sit
uation.
From, s-hc Irish point of view, then,
the battle is going all our way. We
have the Liberal leader; we have thu
whole Liberal party fighting for COM
plete home rule, making it one of the
there shall be no mistake about this
having been one of the issues, and,
therefore, in the position when the
election is over, of declaring that the
country has given the Liberal party
the mandate to deal with home rule.
This means that home rule will be
proposed in the coming parliament;
and it means that if the mischievous
omnipotence of the house of lords to
block all legislation favorable to Ire
land be destroyed, home rule will be
an accomplished fact within the linn
it's of this coming parliament, that is
to say, within the next four or five
years.
All this, of course, depends on
whether the Liberals win the general
election. All I have seen in England
confirms the opinion l have made
public since the beginning of the con-
troversy, that the Liberals are going
to win, and to win with a consider
able majority. I have been reading
the speeches of all che Liberal lead
ers, and. the one and all breathe the
spirit of courage, Of resolute purpose,
of a most buoyant rejoicing over the
chance the insanity of the house Of
lords has at last given to the Liberal
party to deal smashing and final
blow to the sinister body which has

Little Sisters of tho Poor.

A non Catholic member of the stan
OF the indianapolis Ncws says:
Working at the desk, with head bent
over the page on which l was writ
ing, somewhat laboriously, for thought
did not come without much effort, I
was dimly conscious that some ono
was standing near my left elbow.
Turning half way round, not without
an air OF fretfulness at being dis
turbed, l saw two silent black figures,
black robes and black hoods with
shining white linen caps beneath.
What quiet little figures they were!
How serene their faces! Gentle beg
gars as they were, had made up my
mind not to give a cent. There are
too many asking aims as Christmas is
coming on. The spokeswoman Of the
two in low tone, scarcely moving her
lips, said: Something for our poor,
If you please; anything that you feel
like giving. no matter how much, or
how little?'
The request was made in such a
meek way, and yet there was an air
OF nobleness, Of dignity, about the
beggar, a sweetness and delicacy. How
was it possible to refuse? "SomethiHs;
for our poor; anything you may feel
like giving"
1 began to tumble in my pockets.
Both the Sisters, Little Sisters of the
Poor, were smilingly encouraging the
search. From an aggregation of keys
and the smallest of small change,
something was at last gathered. AS
it passed from the hand of the giver
to that of the Little Sister there was
another smile from both of these gen.
/ tie beggars, q sweet-toned "Thank you
for our poor" and they went away as
silently as they came.
| But the atmosphere they left be-
hind them was that of the blessed
Christmas time, and after they were
gone the giver, feeling good because
Of his small donation, wondered if he
would not have felt proportionately
better had it been larger.
