England's Envoy
to the Holy See

The appointment of Sir Henry How
ard as envoy of England to the Holy
See has created considerable specula-
tion in diplomatic circles as to the
probable attitude of England toward
the Holy See and whether or not the
present crisis will have a result of
making England decide upon resuming
diplomatic relations with the Holy
See. Great Britain and the
United States are not represented
among the diplomats credited to the
papacy. During the reign of the late
Pope Leo the Thirteenth, England
sent Sir Henry Erington to Rome on
a diplomatic mission to the vatican.
The United States, in 1902, sent form
er President Taft to Rome on a diplo-
matte mission to settle the Friar land
question in the Philippine Islands.
Neither the United States or England
are represented, however, by perma-
nent diplomatic envoy to the Roman
Pontiff, as are the non-Catholic coun-
tries of Prussia and Russia France
has not had diplomatic representa-
tive at the Holy See since 1905.

GERMANY's ATTITUDE TOWARD
IRELAND.

Great interest is shown in ireland
regarding the reported visit of Sir
Roger Easement to Berlin, where, ac-
cording to communique issued by
the German foreign Office, he con-
ferred with the authorities in regard
to the future of Ireland in case of a
successful German invasion of the
United Kingdom.
Sir Roger Easement, according to
the German statement, asked for a
declaration of Germany's intentions
toward Ireland to relieve the ankle
ties of 1rishmen at home and in Amer
lea caused by the British governments
representations to the effect that a
German victory would result in a
great injury to the Irish.
The acting foreign secretary there
upon issued a declaration of Ger
many's wishes for the welfare of the
Irish.
Germany will never invade Ireland
with the intention of conquest or the
destruction of Irish institutions" the
secretary said. "If the fortune of arms
ever leads German troops to the coast
Of Ireland, they will land, not as an
army of invaders to pillage and devas-
tate, but as forces of a government
inspired by good will to the country
and people. Germany wishes nothing
but Ireland's welfare and national lib
erty."

BY Father A. J. Ryan.

K o, Mary Immaculate! guard 4
4 with loving care this country 4
K dedicated to thee Let thy pur- 4
K ity keep 1t pure. Watch over its
4 institutions. AS thou art the 4
4 Refuge of all sinners, this coun- 4
4 try is the refuge of the exile and
4 the oppressed. Guide it ever in 4
4 the ways of peace. Let it never
4 forget its high vocation to teach 4
4 all the nations of the world, by 4
4 word and example, the prin-
4 ciples of well-regulated liberty
4 and reverence for the rights of 4
4 men. Let not its prosperity be 4
4 its ruin. Alas! many Of its chill
4 dren, who know not what they
4 do, are walking in uncertain
4 paths, which are dark and lead
4 them away from truth. Mother
4 Of all, pray for US and plead for
4 them, that we, thy children,
4 may love and adore thy adorable
4 Son with more fervent faith;
4 and that those who are wander +,
4 ing in errors path may, through i,

The teachers meetings under the di.

Of especial interest this year and the

the Order of Mercy, ON "The Advan.

ing excellent work under the Jealous
direction Of Rev. F. A. Moeller S. J.,
and symposium by the members was
feature of last June's meeting. This
symposium has been issued in bulletin
form for wider distribution. This is
also true of many other papers read at
the eleventh convention, notably Faith.
er Garesche's paper, Father Cummins'
paper, and Sister Helen Angela's.
A round table discussion OF special
value and interest marked the meeting
of the Seminary department, and there
were two splendid papers. One by
Rev. DIR. Herman ]. Heuser on "The
Study of the Bible in Our Seminaries,"
and the other by Rev. Thomas s. Do

to do as the years go on.

A HAPPY COINCIDENCE.

President Washington issued his
first proclamation calling upon the
people Of the United States to observe
day of general thanksgiving, Novem-
Der 26, 1883. and 1t was by happy
coincidence that at the same time,
month and year that the Catholic hier-
archy was established in the United
States, with the Right Rev. John Car
roll, DID,, a patriot, priest, personal
friend and ardent admirer of President
Washington, it's first Bishop.-From

Gibbons.
