AN Old IRISH NOMANS ROSARY BEADS

During the course of a mission
preached in London, Father Conway,
who had been thirty-five years in the
priesthood, was invited to visit one
of the noblest families in the city.
The hostess had amongst her jewels
modest rosary beads of Irish oak, and
the missioner looked his surprise.

Ito tell you its history?"
II shall be pleased to hear it," he
answered.
The story was as follows:
First of all l must tell you that
my husbands people were about the
greatest fanatics amongst the Prot
estants, and that my own ideas
about Catholics were certainly very
false. I had been taught that ignor-
ance and idolatry were their great
est faults. My husband and l were
most careful to allow no Catholic to
enter our service or have anything to
DO with our children. One day my
waiting maid came into my room al
most besides herself with excitement
"'Oh, my lady, see what l have
found-one of those horrible Papish
idols!' And she held towards me the
very beads you are looking at.

find them?"

keeper said they belonged to poor
old Irish woman who comes every
day to sell cress.'

band, and his younger sister were,
