Frances War Against Religion.

The Journal des Debats, one of the
great journals of Paris, nationalist
organ, writing ON the proposed expul-
sion of the Little Sisters of the As
sumption-the Nursing Sisters of the
Poor whose Dublin house is in Camden
street says:
Everyone knows the work of these
religious people, and how much graf
itude is due to them. If sickness Wis
it's workers house the Little Sisters
go to the aid Of the family, and they
are not content with the Office of
nurse. When it is needed, they look
after the household, preparing the
meals, and caring for the little chill
dren, and will accept nothing for their
labor So the man, who would have
to watch by the bedside of his wife,
can go to earn his days wages, sure
after and the homework done. 1t will
be easily understood that the an
nouncement of their intended expul-
sion must be received with general
Misrepresentation. This natural public
sentiment has been declared sharply
at LIE Vallois-P But the imme-
date witnesses and the daily bene-
ficiaries of their devotion are not the
only ones to protest.
EVERY Catholic is reused, and 9TH
ers share their indignation. In the
Figaro, M. Pierre Lott expressed his
indignation with eloquent warmth.
I am not Catholic he declared, lest
his action should be set down to cler-
icalism. The acquisitions of the Ian
terms against the individuals of both
sexes even beneficent. who 'abdicate
their will in the hands of an occult
power will remain without an echo,
and no one will perceive in what is
attempted here the necessity of the
defense of society," The execution of
the law today is, unhappily, not an
isolated event. Some days ago, at
Lyons, force was employed against re-
ligious of the same order, and the
population of La Croix Rouse dis
charged its obligation of gratitude by
the testimony of it's sympathy.
care we to witness at LIE Vallois.
Perret also those devoted women
chased from their shelter? Everyone
will wish that at this moment those
who hold the power would find other
things to occupy them-other obpects
for their energy. Those who have so
often seen authority hesitate to act
In cases of admitted urgency will be
the more astonished and scandalized
at this unhealthy and odious display
of activity. The law, we are told, is
there. We have some difficulty in I'M
derstanding why the form of their
daily devotion to the sick poor has
not merited for the Little Sisters of
the Assumption to be classed as hos.
pitalieres. At the utmost those who
speak know to a miracle how, when
they wish 1t, to leave legality asleep"

Masonic Lodges Active in This Work
in France.
The London Catholic Times says:-
The brutal action of the French Gov
eminent in expelling the Little Sis
tiers of the Assumption from their
converts is arousing indignation
amongst nearly all classes of the popu
lation. Members of different trades
have drawn up petitions and presented
them to their Parliamentary repre-
scntatives. The signatures are very
numerous, in some cases forty and
fifty thousand. M. BRAND, who is
member for st. Etienne, has received
from workingmen in his constituency
a petition in which they say: eve
beg of you to use all your influence
with the Government, without delay,
to prevent the expulsion of these re-
ligieuses. We know not with what
they can be reproached and we do not
understand why the Government
is consecrated to the work Of relieving
the miseries Of the toilers. or the
people around us no one understands
It. The police themselves who have
orders to expel them do not conceal
their establishment and consterna-
tion." 1t is not surprising that the
friends of the toilers. The policy of
the Government is dictated from the
Masonic lodges, which in France are
the active centers of the atheistic
propaganda. The Little Sisters Of the
Assumption are prosecuted simply be-
cause by their self-sacriflcing lives
they are giving the toiling masses
proofs of the power Of faith and are
thus spreading the influence of the
Christian religion.
Isle of Beauty, Faro Thee Well.
Shades of ev'ning close not DER us,
Leave our lonely bark awhile,
Morn, alas! will not restore us,
Yonder dim and distant isle;
Still my fancy can discover
Sunny spots where friends may
dwell,
Darker shadows round us hover.
q, Isle Of beauty, fare thee well.
'.ris the hour when happy faces,
Smile around the taper's light;
Who will fill our vacant places?
Who will sing our songs tonight?
Through the mists that float above us
Family sounds the vesper bell;
Like a voice from those who love us,
Breathing fondly, fare thee well.
When the waves are round mo break
ing,
AS I pace the deck alone,
And my eye in vain is seeking,
Some green leaf to rest upon;
What would I not give to wander,
Where my old companions dwell
Absence makes the heart grow fonder,
Isle of beauty, fare thee we'll!
