An English Catholic on Ireland
| Twenty-seven years ago the Marquis
of Ripon, an English Catholic noble
man, when delivering an address in
London, said: Some might forget,
| and | am afraid there are many who
| forget, what English Catholics owe to
| Ireland. How is it that | can hold
office in the government of the en-
pire? To whom do | owe those adj
| vantages which were denied to Catho,
lies. a few generations back? 1t is
to that great Irishman, Daniel O'Con-
nell, and it seems to me that it would
be indeed ungrateful if | did not under
these circumstances fully devote my
time and the abilities / possess fo1
the advancement of the Irish people.

by glazing example of bigotry
| which comes from Yorkshire. There
is convalescent hospital at Bridling

\ England people for wounded soldiers
Some twenty-five convalescent troops
have just been turned out of that es
adjustment because they refused tt
attend the Protestant services twice
day The ringleaders of what the
managers chose to call a nfutiny were
, Catholic men who naturally decline
to participate in heretical worship
They were Joined by some Noncon
formists. They were told to leave the
hospital Unfortunately such occur
rences cut both ways, and the out
come may be that all hospitals vii
be forbidden to have religious serv
ices of any kind, which will be los:
to Catholic wounded in general hos
pitfalls where they are allowed to at
tend Mass on Sunday and have thu
aministrations of their own chaplain.
