ULSTER MINISTER
Received Into Church and Is Studying
for Priesthood.

The conversion OF Rev. j. H. Steele,
formerly Protestant rector at Crom,
County Fermanagh, and late chaplain
to the Earl OF Erne, was announced
some time ago, and. excited much in
terest and not a little comment. Mr..
Steele is at present studying in Rome
for the Catholic priesthood The fol-
lowing is an extract from letter Of
his, dated March 13. He says:
Il have good progress to report. l
received Minor Orders, all four, yes
terday, in our chapel here at the hands
OF our President, the Archbishop Of
Armida, and had the great joy of COM
mencing my studies today for the first
of the sacred orders, the sub -diacon-
ate, which l hope to receive at Pente
cost; so that before We break up here
for the summer months, / shall be
vested in the Maniple and taking my
part at High Mass. Tho privilege is
altogether beyond my deserts, and is
one more among the many signs Of
our gracious God"
He concludes his letter as follows:
LAS to my feelings since I was re-
ceived into the Church on the eve Of
All Saints, need only say that my
happiness is complete, and seems to
increase every day. 1t is a wonder to
me now that 1 did not recognize hot

greatest event in MY life, long before

abled me to see straight at last, and

obstacles in my way, and now He is
granting me my heart's desire and full
filling all my aspirations so rapidly
| and completely as to fill me with Won
der and praise. ] have been placed al
ready on the steps Of the Altar and if
it pleases Him to terminate my life

FOR THE ALLIANCE
Meeting Held to Help the Movemen,

What Premier Asquith described as
"this venerable guild hall' without
whose seal of approval no popular
movement in London is really launch
ed, witnessed April %, a meeting for
the adoption of resolution pledging the
city to the support OF Anglo Amer
lean complete arbitration
The lord mayor of London in his
scarlet robes and with the mace in
front of him held the center of tenn
porary stage. On his right was the
prime minister, H. H. Asquith; at his
left former Premier Balfour, leader
o the opposition in the house Of COM
mons, while seated about the mayor
were the archbishop of Canterbury,
the archbishop of Westminster, Lord
Loreburn, the lord high chancellor;
Lord Strathcona, high commissioner of
Canada; Sir Joseph G. Ward, prefer
of New Zealand and other notables.
Over their heads the union jack and
See@A . ealAN SIAiPSS were cIllNlIlcQ.
Mr.. Asquith and Mr.. Balfour spoke
eloquently of the treaty first proposed
by President Taft, declaring that it
would mark new era in civilization,
but both pointedly disclaimed that a
peace pact between Great Britain and
the United States providing for the
submission of all differences to arbi-
tration would mean an alliance be-
tween the two countries Mr. Asquith
intimated, however, that what might
follow after the treaty, was an i'm
portant consideration.
Mr.. Balfour warned his hearers than
whom he said none in the world felt
more the burden of preparing for war
that the treaty would not mean the
immediate reduction in armaments.
Resolutions offered by Premier AS
quith pledging the people of London
in favor Of general arbitration treaty
between Great Britain and the United
States was greeted with tremendous
applause.

ORANGE CAMPAIGN
Try to Show That Ireland Is a Law.
less Country.

Recently in the House of Commons
debate took place on the subject,
"Law and Order in Ireland" The
Orange members tried to show that
such lawlessness and disorder prevails
in Ireland as to make it unwise to
grant the Irish Home Rule. The al
legations are OF course unfounded.
Rather statistics show that Ireland is
far freer from crime than England.
To the allegation that murder is a
daily occurrence in ireland, John Red
mond replied:
rs there any country in the world
in which murder does not occur? How
many murders occur in England
When last discussing this question l
quoted cases of murder, attempted
murder, violence and outrage, and
showed that they were tenfold in Eng
land to what they were in Ireland.
That was also the case of every crime
A murder was committed recently in
ireland which attracted a great deal
of interest and caused some sensation
in this country (England). There haG
not been one before for many years, yet
that one murder caused more sensa-
ton, owing to the methods Of gentle
men above the Gangway (the Orange
party in the House of Commons) and
other people, than the scores of mur-
| ders in this country"
