HOME RULE AGITATION.

1t is little wonder that the century
which has passed since then has been
a century of ever-growing agitation
for the restoration of national Par
lament on Irish soil. That the expert
ment Of governing Ireland without an
Irish Parliament has succeeded, none
but the most ignorant and prejudiced
will maintain. While Great Britain's
wealth and prosperity have greatened,
Ireland has been bleeding to death.
Her population has fallen from over
eight millions to four millions and
half. In education she is still the
most backward of all our peoples.
In later years new spirit of SYM
pathy with Ireland has manifested it.
self, not only in our own country, but
throughout the Empire. The healing
virtue of free institutions has been
most strikingly evidenced in Canada
and South Africa. Pride in Parlia-
mentary Government is one of the
chief characteristics of those who
dwell in prosperity, beneath the Bri-
tish flag, under the Southern Cross,
yet these people had not the same
binding sense of nationality that exists
in Ireland. They had no ancient par
liamentary traditions, no national lit
erature, no tragic and romantic his
tory. The Irish people are supported
in their demand by the success of every
modern precedent as we'll as by the
impressive argument of ancient his
tory.
IreIand's Claim to SeIf-Government
English Nonconformity will not be
Indifferent to this appeal. Lord Nor
ley once said about us that we had
had in the past "the consistent legend
of civil enlightenment" We shall not
now forget our title to that consist
ency. We shall not be deaf to the
voice of the past, nor blind to the
prospects of the future. The problem
of today is not as to what England
will do for Ireland, but as to what
England will allow Ireland to do for
herself. British Nonconformity can
not resist the claim of Ireland for self
government until we are prepared to
repudiate for ourselves that privilege
and responsibility of self-reliance and
self-control which for three hundred
years have been the secret, under
God, of the strength and prosperity
of our Free Churches.
Before bring my review of this
subject to an end let me add a few
words on some specific points which
are exercising the minds of Noncon-
| formists.
The first concerns the attitude of
the Irish members to English Educa-
ton. Now / am not proposing to ar
que here the pros and cons of the
Education question as we Noncon-
| formists accept them. The view
taken by the Irish Nationalist is quite
frankly the Catholic and denomina-
tional view; and as such it is not ours
But let me remind my fellow Non
conformists that during the passage
of the Act of 1902 Mr.. Dillon urged
upon Mr.. Balfour the remedying Of the
Nonconformist grievance in the single
school area districts, and that Mr..

THE SINNERS BELL
(Translated from the German of Will
helm Mueller by Helen Hughes
Hielscher.)

There lived in Breslau city
An ancient legend tells
An honest master workman
Who founded bells and bells
And many white or gold bell,
He founded in those days,
For churches and for chapels,
To the Fathers name and praise.
And they sounded all so clearly,
So pure, so sweet 'twould seem
He mixed the gold of Faith and Hope
Within the molten stream.
But of all the bells he founded,
The one that doth excel
Was cast in ancient Breslau,
And is called the sinners bell.
In the tower of Magdelana,
This masterpiece was hung,
And many hardened heart to God,
Hath called it's brazen tongue.
HOW Sh11llully Iu0 LudSl0T,
And true his work had planned,
How tirelessly by night and day,
He wrought with head and hand.
And now has come the moment
To test his craft and skill,
The seething flood stands ready
The walled-in mould to fill.
He called his boy: Il place thee
AS fire-watch while I go
To slake my thirst and strengthen
My spirits for the flow.
"But listen; on that spiggot
Dare not to lay a hand,
For such witless act I swear
I'd slay you where you stand"
Alone beside the kettle,
The boy stares in the glow
That swirls and rolls and tumbles,
All fain to overflow
1t Kisses and it whispers,
In his head strange voices sing,
And something draws his fingers
To that forbidden thing.
In his hand he feels the spiggot.
And slowly round it slid,
Then fear took all his sense,
He knew not what he did.
He ran unto his master
To tell his luckless deed,
He clasped his knees and weeping,
Began for grace to plead.
The first word told the master,
No further need he say,
He drew his hand, for anger
Quite carried him away,
And with his knife he struck him
In the breast a cruel blow,
Then how he reached the kettle,
Himself he did not know.

Redmond has recently expressed him.
self most strongly as favoring a Bill
to remove that grievance. may add
that the Irish Party did not show
themselves to be irreconcilable in re-
gard to Mr.. BirrelIs Bill of 1906.
But apart altogether from these con-
siderations, | frankly avow myself
one who believes as much in Home
Rule for England and Wales in regard
to a problem that only concerns Eng
land and Wales, as l am in favor of
Home Rule for Ireland in affairs that
only concern Ireland Why should we,
who believe in settling our own Edu-
cation problem according to our own
principles and convictions, be anxious
to retain a system which in giving
England control of Irish problems may
easily give Ireland control of English
problems? If there is any resentment
at the part played by Irish members
in English Education that resentment
cannot possibly suggest that the Irish
members should be permanently re-
tanned to play a part which must be
as uncongenial to them as it is dis
tasteful to us.
The second point concerns the
famous NE Temere Decree" With
that Decree l have no sort of SYM
pathy. l think it is unwise and un-
just; and unworthy of the free age in
which we live. But the point to re-
member surely is that nothing can
annul the validity of civil marriage;
and it was expressly provided under
the Home Rule Bills of 1886 and 1898,
and will undoubtedly be provided by
the Bill of 1912, that the Irish Parlia-
ment shall not have the power to pass
any measure interfering with civil
rights or religious liberty. If it is pos
sible to make this more emphatic and
explicit still, we have Mr.. Redmond's
word for it that he and his colleagues
are quite willing that it should be
done.
Nobody can pretend that under the
existing system religious equality pre-
lish Nonconformists would be heartily
in sympathy with the Presbyterians
and the Methodists of Ireland in pro-
tests against Episcopal Ascendancy,
and the figures quoted in Mr. Mac
Veagh's article will repay study.
Home Rule Not Rome Rule.
The last point it is necessary to deal
with is that Home Rule will mean
Rome Rule. In regard to that it is
sufficient to say that if democracy
would produce in Ireland an increase
of clerical power, then it will do in
Ireland what it has done nowhere else
in the world. When Daniel O'Connell
declared that he would take his re-
ligion from Rome but his politics from
home, believe he spoke for his coun-
trymen; and there are abundant illus
trations that could be produced from
quite modern history to prove that
the electors are increasingly independ-
ent of clerical dictation on political
issues. For instance, Mr.. Redmond
was first elected for Waterford despite
the hostility of every priest in the con-
stituency; Mr.. William O'Brien and
his followers were returned at the last
Election for eight constituencies, al.
though they were opposed by nearly
all the priests in the various districts
| and Mr. T. M. Healy was defeated in
Louth where he had the sympathy OF
nearly all the priests in the Archdio
cese, and was elected in Cork where
nearly all of them were hostile to him

BIBLICAL PLAY
THE SHEPHERD KING" WILL BE
PRODUCED UNDER CATHOLIC
AUSPICES IN NEW YORK FOR
THE BENEFIT OF THE UNITED
CATHOLIC WORkS-TELLS THE
STORY OF KING DAVID OF
ISRAEL.

The one important event of Catho-
lie interest in New York in the month
of May, will be the production of
the wonderful Biblical play, "The
Shepherd King" by the Emmett Corri-
gan Producing Company, in the Gar
den Theatre, Madison Avenue and
Twenty-Seventh Street, for two weeks,
beginning May 4. The play will be
given under the auspices and for the
benefit of the United Catholic Works
of which His Eminence Cardinal Far
ley is president, and which has his
personal interest at all times.
That the United Catholic Works
should undertake to produce so great
and elaborate play shows the enter
prise of the organization and the con-
fidence it has in receiving the support
of the Catholic people of the city.
That it will receive this support was
made evident at the first meeting held
following the announcement to make
the production. All the Catholic fra
ternal and social organizations sent
delegates who not only promised their
support, but either ordered the house
outright for a certain night or took
away with them large block of
tickets

The United Catholic Works includes
81 charitable, social, philanthropic and
educational organizations in New York
City It was established two years
ago by Cardinal Farley to provide
money to aid those works that might
meet a deficit during the year, and
to give assistance to new organizations
that gave evidence of promise in
worthy undertakings, and to be CEN
ter Of INSTRUMENTATION between all
the organizations in it's fold. Last
year $4,000 was raised to carry on
the work. The larger part of this
amount was raised through an exhibit
and sale. 1t is expected that like
amount will be realized from the pro-
duction of "The Shepherd King" to-
gether with the private donations that
may be subscribed:

In addition to raising funds for it's
work and giving the public the oppor-
tunity to witness one of the most beau
tiful and interesting plays ever pres
ented on the stage, the United Cath
olic Works, by the production, has
given an impetus to an enterprise
already undertaken to present to the
American people plays worthy of their
support. It was left to Catholic to
make the venture and he has started
