GAELIC EXPERT
PROMINENT GERMAN CELTOLO-
GIST COMES TO AMERICA.

Professor Kuno Meyer, the great
Celtologist, whose name is a house
hold word among Irish scholars, has
recently arrived in New York, where
he is staying at present. Like most
prominent Celtologists, he is a Ger
man, who has made the Celtic Ian
guages, and the Irish language in
particular, life long study. His
name is familiar to educated Irish
Americans.
Professor Kuno Meyer was born in
Hamburg in 1858. While yet boy, in
1874, he made his first acquaintance
with Gaelic in Scotland, where he
spent two months vacation on the
Isle of Arran. His attention was again
attracted to Gaelic at the Leipzig Uni.

lures on the language and literature
of Ireland. The attraction proved sc
powerful that he threw up all other
studies to devote himself entirely tC
Celtic. In 1883 he received his de
gree with a dissertation on the Irish
version of the Alexander legend
which he edited from Leabhar Breac
with a German translation.
Professor Meyer is one of the best
living authorities on Old Irish, ant
no man, no Irishman of the presen
day, has done so much to bring with
in the reach of scholars the worlC
over the treasures of old Irish litera

The labors of the early Irish mis-
sionaries in Germany have been re
ciprocated by the great work of tn,
modern German scholars in the un
titled field of early Irish literature.

LETTER OF THE MOST REVEREND ARCHBISHOP

Peter. None should there be to whom
the opportunity is not given to hear
his words, and, so doing, make act of
reverential submission to the supreme
authority with which he is invested.
The matters treated in the Letter
are of solemn import to men and to
nations in modern conditions of re-
ligion and of society. The evils of the
present day are forcibly portrayed:
the remedies are stated which alone
will counteract those evils. All should
know the evils that they be guarded
against, and the remedies that they be
applied in daily life.
1t is great Letter-great in the
lessons it imparts and great in the
authority of which it is the message.
1t calls for our closest and most obedi-
ent attention.

Venerable Brethren,


Health and the Apostolic Benedic-

Apostles, considering as addressed to
Ourselves in the same voice in which

Divine goodness, was a certain incred-

salvation of all men; and in accepting

desire that Jesus Christ expressed

A Sad Spectacle.

Now when from the height of this
Apostolic dignity We can, as if at one
glance, contemplate the course of
human events, and when We see be-
fore Us the miserable condition of civil
society We are affected with acute
sorrow. And how could We, as the
common Father of all men, not be
sorely troubled at the sight of Europe,
and, indeed, of the whole world-the
most terrible and most painful spec
tacle perhaps that has ever been pre-
sented in the course of history?

ENCYCLICAL LETTER
OF HIS HOLINESS POPE BENEDICT XIV.
BY DIVINE PROVIDENCE POPE.
Appeal to Rulers and Governments.

Moved by such grave evils, at the
very first step as it were, of the Sow
ereign Pontificate, We considered it
our duty to recall the last words of
Our predecessor, Pontiff of illustri-
GUS and holy memory, and to COM
mence Our Apostolic Ministry by re-
peating them; and so We warmly be-
seech rulers and Governments to con-
slider the tears and the blood already
shed and to hasten to restore to the
people the precious blessings of peace.
May the merciful God grant that, as
on the appearance of the Divine Re-
deemer upon the earth, so at the be-
ginning of Our duty as His Vicar, the
angels voices may proclaim Peace
on earth to men of good will' (Luke
ii, 14), and We pray that they may
listen who have in their hands the
destinies of States. Assuredly there
are other ways and other methods by
which justice can be done to injured
rights. Let the belligerents, laying
down their arms, have recourse to
these, animated by good faith and in
tention. 1t is through love of them
and of all nations and not from any
motive of Our own that We speak.
Let them not, then, permit Our
! friendly and paternal voice to be
raised in vain.

and of all nations and not from any
motive of Our own that We speak.
Let them not, then, permit Our
friendly and paternal voice to be
raised in vain.
A War Against Society.
But it is not merely the sanguinary
bles and embitters Our spirit. There
is another furious war which eats at
the entrails of modern society-a
war which terrifies every person of
good sense, because whilst it has ac-
cumulated, and will accumulate ruin
amongst the nations, it contains in
itself the seeds Of the present dis
astrous struggle. From the moment
when the rules and practices of Chris
tian wisdom ceased to be observed in
States-rules and practices which
alone guarantee the stability and
peace of institutions-these States
necessarily began to tremble at their
foundations, and there followed such
a change in ideas and customs that,
if God does not soon intervene, it
appears as if the dissolution of human
society is at hand. The disorders that
have arisen are the want of mutual
love amongst men, contempt for au
thority, injustice in the relations be
tween the different classes of society
and material welfare made the only
object of mans activity Gas If there
were not other and much more desir
able blessings to be gained). These
in Our opinion, are the four causes
why human society is so greatly dis
turbed 1t is necessary then thai
energy be exercised generally for the
purpose of removing such disorders
and restoring Christian principles, i
the object is to put an end to discort
and compose differences.
