called attention to the fact that many
of the descendants of the Scotch may
be found from the Gulf of Mexico to
the Arctic Ocean, "And," said the
reverend speaker, "they kept the
faith" Again said Father MacAdam:
go to Ottawa, the capital of Canada,
and pay your respects to the Arch
bishop. He will give you Highland
welcome in sweet, melodious Gaelic,
for although his father was French,
his hearts love has gone out to the
language Of his mother, MacKinnon
of the blood of Gamma. Go to Toronto,
the largest English-speaking city in
Canada; the Archbishop belongs to the
MacNeills of Barra. Go to the extreme
western diocese of the dominion; the
Bishop is Macdonald, who speaks
gracefully and writes racily in the
Gaelic of Lochaber. And now come
back to the far east where you will
find our own beloved Bishop, whose
ancestors, if mistake not, came from
blithesome, jovial Uist."
A Scotch Catholic should not be
looked upon as an impossibility. Many
forbears Of the present race, through
cruelties inflicted, fell away; but, after
all, when a Scotchman gives himself
an opportunity to think over the past,
when he reads religious history, and
when he is honest with himself, there
is nothing for him to do but acknowl-
edge that the land of the bluebell and
the heather was originally a Catholic
country. And If this thoughtful Cath.
olic will be just, he will take up the
study of the true Church. When he
has read and carefully digested what
he reads he will readily discover that
he has been in the wrong pew. That
his place is in the bosom Of the
Mother Church, the haven Of rest
where his early forbears worshiped.

The scholastic year of the College
Of Saint Teresa opens Thursday, Sep
TENDER 6, with the regular registra-
ton of students. A distinguished
Faculty has been provided which, to
gether with an enrolment unprece-
denied in the history of the College,
points to a most successful year. The
marked increase in the number of
students has necessitated the open
ing Of new College Dormitory, Lor-
etto Hall, which is to be turned over
to the incoming Freshman class. The
ever-increasing popularity of Saint
Teresa's is attested by the influx of
students from many states in the

us that this measure was worse than
Home Rule could possibly be.
It is now clear to every think
ing man that Irish autonomy in
some form bust be conceded.
Four or six Ulster counties might
cut themselves out, and, so far, most
of the arguments on the subject have
heard, have turned on the question of
whether this is possible rather than
whether it would be profitable. To my
mind, it is time that the question OF
profit should be considered if Ulster
is not to be guilty Of the stupidity of
cutting off its nose to spite its face"
1t seems to me that the supporters
of an Irish enclave rest their case on
the assumption that Irishmen will be-
have differently from the people of any
other race to whom the right of freely
managing their own affairs has been
granted. The same assumption gov
erned the opposition to every reform
in the affairs of this country, even
though Irish history, from Roman
Catholic emancipation to local govern
ment is one long refutation of this
assertion, and today it is advanced as
boldly as ever Amending the Gov
enant" by eliminating Donegal, Mona
CHAN, and Caven cut the life-artery of

Unionists and Sim Feins.
How can we look for special con-
sideration at Westminster, if Ulster
breaks from Ireland against the wishes
of the English people, because in the
coming years Ulster will have to take
what Great Britain thinks fit to allow
her, and an overworked House of
Commons in the period following the
war may lack both the time and in
clination to adopt it's legislative
schemes to the special conditions pre-
vailing in the fragment of a province.

know l speak for many Unionists.
If there is to be a settlement, the
broader it's basis the better. Half
hearted measures create unnecessary
friction; let Ireland have the freedom
we had the courage to give South
Africa, and, unless mistake my coun-
trymen, they will use and appreciate
it just as wisely.
Nationwide freedom within the En-
pire is the right argument with which
to meet the Sim Fein cry for indie
pendence outside the Empire.
What l have written may cause my
accommodation with bell, book and
candle from the fold of orthodox Ul-
ster Unionists. l believe, however,
that many others will share my exile,
and we shall have the consolation of
thinking that we are still Unionists
anxious to preserve the considered
essential unity of Ireland, and, so fos-
tering the new and real sense of unity
between this island and the British
Empire which the worlds clash OF
arms has awakened.

SCOTCH CATHOLICS.

Many people reign surprise Wnen
they encounter Scotsman or person
of Scotch descent who is Catholic.
Just why this should be is one OF the
unaccountables: No doubt it is due to
ignorance, for there was time when
Scotland was just as Catholic as is
Ireland or Poland, and history records
the fact. st. Ninian first took the
faith in Scotland, and later st. Co.
lumbar did much for the land OF the
heather. But after time came dis.
sension. The spirit of heresy began
to display itself. Brutal cruelties used
in other sections came upon Scotland
and many of those who previously had
been stanch Catholics gave way in the
face of starvation and severe punish
ment inflicted.
There were those, however, who
kept the faith and fought the good
fight. Many descendants Of these peo-
pie are to be found in Canada. In
Glengarry about all the people are
Scotch and almost all are Catholics.
Farther east, on Christmas Island,
Cape Breton, there is colony of Cath
olics, the great majority of whom still
speak the Gaelic language. Here a
short time ago was celebrated the one
hundredth anniversary of the coming
of a Catholic Bishop to the shores of
the Bras dor Lakes. 1t was remark
able occasion. The pontifical mass
was celebrated by Bishop Morrison,
while the sermon was preached by
Rev. Donald M. MacAdam, p. p, OF
Sydney. The preacher spoke in
Gaelic.
1t was Bishop Plessis, Frenchman,
who went to the Gaeic-speaking fam
lilies of the Bras dor Lakes hundred
years ago. But to these God-fearing,
earnest Highlanders, Language or ma
tionality made little difference. Their
visitor was Bishop of the Church,
and, poor and scattered though they
were, his welcome was one filled with
genuine Scotch hospitality. In his
memorable sermon Father MacAdam

world of today. In connection with
this, it is of interest to note that the
College Library will be enriched by
splendid collection of Spanish and
Italian classics imported directly from
Europe. The Reverend Thomas Nor
moyle, s. T. L., who conducted the
Greek Of the College Summer session,
will take over the Greek classes for
the scholastic year. The department
of Germanic languages will be headed
by the Reverend Julius Haun, Phi. D.,
D. D.. of the Urban College of the Pro
paganda in Rome. The Latin depart
ment will be in charge of Miss Mary
Jane Bennett, M. A., Miss Jessie
Quigley, NJ. A., Teaching Fellow Of
Columbia University, New York, will
direct the department of Mathematics,
Sister NJ. Rachael, M. A., Columbia
University, the department of English,
and Miss Helena Blackwell, B. A., will
assume charge of the Public Speaking
work.
Another initial feature of the new
year is the installation of the new
Hall pipe-organ, the gift of an un-
known benefactor, Christmas, 1916.
With the beautiful College Auditorium
as setting, the organ presents most
impressive spectacle.
With such an suspicious opening,
splendid results may be anticipated
for Saint Teresa's in 1917-1918.

come "haves'' new situation arises.
I shall be told, Of course, that II econ
omic arguments no longer apply reli-
gious arguments still hold good-as a
cry that lost most Of It's force when
the Orangemen and Professionals of the
Ulster Volunteers sprang to arms that
Catholic Belgium might be rescued
from Protestant Germany. If Roman
Catholicism is the bane that some peo-
ple pronounce it, then the occupation
of Belgium by Germany becomes tri-
umph of the righteous cause of free
dom and progress instead Of the crime
it has been so loudly proclaimed.
Personally, am convinced that the
unifying influence of democracy Is
greater than the Emergencies of creed,
and Irishmen, whatever else they lack,
have democracy in the blood.
Just as Other Nations.
I have a pretty wide experience of
the working of local government, and
i have never met Unionist even in
counties where Nationalist are in the
majority who would abandon the sys-

latter were Professionals and Unionists
