THE MASS RoCk.

The eighteenth century was tire
age which gave to Irish Topography
the CONDEMNATION" or MASS
Rock" to be found on every barony
map of Ireland. What memories
ciing around each hallowed moss
clad stone or rocky ledge on the
mountain side, or in the deep re-
cess OF some desolate glen, whereon
for years and years the holy sacri-
nee was offered up In stealth and Sc
crecy, the death penalty hanging
over priest and worshiper.
Not infrequently mass was inter-
rupted by the approach OF the ban
dogs or the law, for, quickened by
the rewards to be earned, there
sprang up In those days the in
famous trade of priest hunting, FIVE
pounds (s25) being the price paid
by the government for the head Of
a priest or the head of a wolf.
The utmost care was necessary In
divulging to the faithful the place
fixed on for the holy sacrifice. The
poor, half-starved people fiocked in
ones and twos to the spot TO avoid
suspicion being aroused, and before
mass began sentrles were posted all
around so as to obtain an early view
OF the arrival OF troops or priest
hunters.
Yet despite all vigilance. not IN
frequently the bloc dof the priest
dyed the stone altar.
II might be inferred that one hun
dred years OF this persecution would
have extinguished Catholicity, but,
on tn contrary, God. as II by mir
acie. preserved the faith, vitality
and power Of the Irish race. Ire
land, after one hundred and nifty
years OF bloody persecution. rose
from its sepulchre and walked forth
full Of life. No mere human faith
could have accomplished this trans
formation.
