return to those thousands of boys and
girls who consumed the best years OF
their lives learning languages which
they scarcely ever heard spoken or
spoke, after the school doors had
slammed behind them. He ventured
to say that the number of native
speaking Gaels scattered through the
schools today would in five years earn.
and have more cash value to their az
count through Irish than the thou
sands of boys and girls who had de-
voted the best years of their lives
learning French and German.
The Very Rev. Father Phelan then
referred to the language question in
other countries, particularly in Boz
hemia, South Africa, the Seychelles
Islands. The natives in those coun-
tries realized the significance of Spen-
ser's advice to Queen Elizabeth re-
garding the Irish-"Tear out their
Irish tongues. and they will soon have
English hearts," The English in Ire
land at that time, because they spoke
Irish, became more Irish than the
Irish themselves.
AS to the argument that Irish was
not a commercial language. he was
always under the impression that it
was the quality of the article, and not
the description on the label, that cap
tured commerce. Danish was not a

butter-makers hard. If the people Of
Limerick had held on to their native
tongue would their butter have lost

falling of a stone from its decaying
walls? On the contrary, her decay
and English speech grew side by side.
They were face to face with an antag-
onistic civilization. How should they
beat it? Fall back on nature as the
Dutch did when they opened their
dykes on the advance of the army of
Louis XIV. Of France. Let them loose
the tree of native speech, flood the
land with, and saturate the young men
and young women with high thoughts.

Back to the Land!

Back to the land! is the slogan
We hear as we pass down the street,
Back to the shade of the hemlock,
Altar from the dust and the heat.
Sweet is the home on the mountain
Where sparkles the ever spring;
Sweet is the life of the farmer,
More blest than the life of king.
Back to the land where our fathers
Led lives that were peaceful and
pure,
Far from the baneful conditions
That urbans are forced to endure;
Far from the jostle and worry,
From pangs these wild human waves
bring,
Back where the life of the farmer
Outrivals the life of king.
Back to the land! Let it echo
In hot sitting dens Of despair;
Wide is the world that God gave US,
And free is the sunshine and air.
Break from the crowds incarnation;
Loud let the glad slogan ring;
Back to the land, and to pleasures
Unknown in the home of king.
Back to the land! Do they heed it,
The thousands now fainting away?
Tenement victims, why tarry?
Why not the glad summons obey?
Sever the bonds that enthrall you;
To things so ignoble why cling?
Oh holier the life Of the tiller!
And happier than that of the King!
MARY ROSE.

cause we ought to be angry at our
lapses from those heights, because we
ought to have determination to ex-
Gel all that has been done. Instead
of our writer's filling the country pa
pers with articles about this and that
episode in Irish history, about this
and that dead patriot, they ought to
be filling mems minds with anticipa-
lions and hopes. The best compli-
ment to dead patriots is to carry On
their work and to dream of the fu-
ture of Ireland"
What we would like to see in Irish
literature and Irish journalism would
be efforts at an imaginative construc-
ton of an Irish civilization, some-
thing which the Ireland of today
might grow into, something which
would fire the imagination of youth
and make it ardent and eager to work
for that desirable life. What we would
like Irish writer's to do for us would
be to imagine for us what an Irish
countryside would be like in 1850,
what kind Of houses people would live
in. in what way they would amuse
themselves what kind of social or
der would exist, how Guild people be
clothed, what they would read. what
children would be taught in the
in public life.''

"Healy and Myself"

"Healy and Myself" have been hav-
ing a Convention" in Cork. 1t was
devoted to speeches attacking the
Irish Party and denouncing the Home
Rule bill. The convention was a gro
tesque affair, but the Irish Times
pours out unstinted praise on it, and
lauds Messrs. OBrien and Healy to
the skies. Here is one quotation from
the landlords organ:
"As Unionists, we find ourselves,
necessarily, in complete disagreement
with the political principles which Mr.
O'Brien and Mr.. Healy advanced ut
the annual meeting of their party in
Cork on Saturday. But, while we dis
agree with them, we can still respect
them-irst, because they are patiently
sincere, and, secondly, because their
supporters fight. their battle with
clean weapons"

Jesus crucified.

Oh, come and mourn with me awhile:
See, Mary calls us to her side;
Oh, come and let us mourn with her;
Jesus, our Love, is crucified!
Have we no tears to shed for Him,
While soldiers scott and Jews deride?
All, look how patiently He hangs;
Jessu, our Love, is crucif1ed!
How fast His Hands and Feet are
nailed;
His blessed Tongue with thirst is tied:
His failing eyes are blind with blood ;
Jesus, our Love. is crucified!
His Mother cannot reach His Face;
She stands in helplessness beside;
Her heart is martyred, with her Sons,
Jesus, our Love, is crucified!
Seven times He spoke, seven words Of
love,
And all three hours His silence cried
For mercy on the souls of men:
Jesus, our Love, Is crucified!
What was Thy crime, my dearest
Lord?
BY earth. by heaven. Thou hast been
tried,
And guilty found of too much love;
Jesus, our Love, is crucified!
Found guilty of excess of love,
1t was Thine own sweet will that tied
Thee tighter far than helpless nails;
Jesus, our Love, is crucified!
Death came, and Jesus meekly bowed;
His failing eyes He strove to guide
With mindful love to Mary's face;
Jesus, our Love, is crucified!
Oh break. oh break, hard heart of
mine!
Thy weak self-love and guilty pride
His Plate and His Judas were;
Jesus, our Love, is crucified!
Come, take thy stand beneath tho
Cross.
And let the Blood from out that Side
Fall gently on thee drop by drop;
Jesus. our Love, is crucif1ed!
A broken heart. fount of tears,
Ask. and they will not be denied;
A broken heart loves cradle is;
Jesus, our Love, is crucified!
oh, Love of God!' o sin of man!
In this dread act your strength is
tried;
And victory remains with love;
For He, our Love, is crucihed!

ireland of the Future.

George Russell, editor of the Irish
Homestead, and known as poet I'M
der the letters "a. E." has the fol-
lowing interesting article in his maga-
zine under the heading 1.-The Ireland
Our Children Will Live In"
IF we look at our Irish villages"
he says, 1--WE have to think what
might be. There is nothing in Eu-
rope to compare with the unloveliness
of an Irish village. How rarely are
there trees and flowers! How rarely
does one see house which is 4
pleasure to look at! The bare build
ings, without character, without
beauty of proportion, arise anyhow,
as If the Imagination of the architect
or builder was dead and the mechan-
ical mind could not rise beyond four
walls with oblong holes in them for
windows. We have exiled out Of Ire
land beauty, the most spiritual and
ennobling Of all Influences. We have
thousands of pot-houses reeking with
the odors of the rinsings Of drink. and
there is hardly library, a gymnas-
ium or public bath anywhere.
will our literary men not try to
create civic patriotism by some image
of what might be, of the rural COM
munity living in lovely villages gay
with flowers, made beautiful by trees,
with picturesque houses and public
places of meeting, where the COM
munity works together as one being,
buying, manufacturing and selling to-
gether in one industrial brotherhood,
and devoting year by year some OF
its wealth to public purposes? viii
they not see about planting the
hedges with fruit trees, with apple
and pear and plum trees, with goose
berry bushes and currant bushes, and
let the fruit be used by the poor
families, by the laborers. or sold and
the profits used for creating village
halls, theaters, literature, gymna-
Sums? Is not this done already in
many a continental commune? Could
it not be done in ireland? Is the will
of ireland all gone to water, that 1t
never braces itself up for public la
bors? Is the soul of Ireland dead
that it does not dream of beautiful
life?"
Plain talk and practical from a singer
out of the nest of Irish singing birds.
He reminds his readers that growing
nations, as Canada, the United States,
Germany, are reaching out to the flu
ture. But Ireland?
! ireland for a century has been: i'm
poverished in its character by the
political necromancers, who have al
ways been summoning up its dead
past for council as the witch Of En-
dor called up the shade Of Samuel for
Saul the King. We have been brood
ing a great deal on 49, even in these
days when 1rishmen ought to he
brooding a great deal more on 1895
and on what is to come. We believe
that the true source of the inspira-
ton of the patriot is to be found IN
the future and not in the past. The
only enthpsiasms which really sti,
people to the deeps are enthusiasma
based on hope and not on memory
The only history worth keeping in
mind is the history Of great men, Of
the people who were greater than we
are today, and Of the civilization
which were higher than ours. and we

Some Six Hundred Thousand Speak
II in Ireland.
At a meeting held recently at the
Belfast College of Irish, the Rev. Ia
ther Phelan, ST. J., made powerful
plea for the preservation of the Irish
language.
Father Phelan said that to the sup
CRITICAL observer the revival of the
Gaelic language was only stone in
the National edifce, and a stone more
or less scarcely worth worrying about.
But when that superficial observer
learned to think deeper, and when his
mental horizon widened, he would dis
cover that it was not only stone, but
a keystone on which all depended
that went to build up a clean Celtic
civilization. The mistake of the out
side observer was to see in the re-
vival only the restoration of a Ian
guage. But those who had observed
the movement at closer quarters saw
that with the revival Of the native
language the wheels of native indus
try began to throb. The connection
between a Gaelic idiom and a suit OF
clothes was not very evident, yet the
began to clothe their thoughts In ma
tive speech, they began to clothe their
bodies In native tWeeds.
Whoever measured the influence If
the language movement by ethical and
artistic standards must be struck by
the high ideals 1t had inspired, and
the refining influence 1t had exercised
over the emotions. A drunken Gael
was a contradiction In terms. It was
reviving the chaste and artistic step
dancing. native music and song, ma
tive drama-and even opera. That in
fluence had penetrated the masses. II
was felt in the remotest glen. The
Gaelic revival had taken for Its watch
word: mo Language, no Nation
BY the word nation" they understood
in a word everything that gave CO.
hesiveness, and stamped the national
life with character, and made it that
organic whole which they called q
distinct civilization. The very rev
speaker then dealt incisively with the
objection:
What good is Irish?" For the pass

young Irish heads had been bent owe,
