not here to make an argument in

some rthings which we in shee

remember that England places a

France to stay the tide that would
have engulfed not only France and
England but America as well, thus
saving civilization, and II did II
through three long bloody stagger-
ing years before America could even
hear the death cry for help. We
must remember that England kept
the powerful German fleet bottled
up in the north as useless as a heap
Of old junk and saved the coast ma
tions Of Europe and our own Ameri-

that would have been wrought. had
the German navy dared TO sail the

despite our prejudices and her mis-
takes. England is a Denefactor to
the world in general and to America
in particular. And as the blood her
sons shed will make the peoples
grow redder on Flanders fields, so
her sacrifices should cause our graf

Declaring that the Irish catholic
church was body and soul behind

clared himself against the danger

clesiastical regime.
Before the sermon, a short musi-
cal program was given which was
enjoyed by a large attendance.
His sermon follows in part:
"Sinn Fem, while a political move
ment in Ireland aiming to disrupt
the British empire and secure Ire
land a separate existence. has in
reality become a tool in the hands
of the Irish Catholic church TO dis
lupt the British empire and place
ireland under control of the Irish
Catholic church. i'm spite of the most
vigorous protest made by the prot
estant element of the island.
Ireland is little land divided
into four provinces, Ulster, Leinster,
Munster and Connought While Ire
land as a whole is overwhelmingly
Catholic, the Province of Ulster is
overwhelmingly Protestant. 1t is
from Ulster that the great protest
comes against the Sim Fem move
ment Ulster contains forty per
cent. Of the area of Ireland and has
about one-third OF the population.
1t is the most progressive portion
OF the island having vast manu-
