THE CRIMELESSNESS OF IRELAND

usually well informed as to conditions
| in England and Ireland, commenting
upon the efforts of British propagan-
dists to discredit Ireland in the face
| OF the world, says in recent issue:
"A few conflicts between the peo-
men were killed and wounded, have
been the foundation on which was
built the assertion by Ireland's enc
mics that the country is 'seething with
crime. The fact of the matter is
that, compared with the people of al
most any other country, the people Of
Ireland are the most crimeless in the
world. The London Daily News, COM
menting on the Irish chief secretary
vicious statements that Ireland is in a
state of anarchy, gives the following
facts and figures which prove that
the country was never freer from
crime than at the present moment:
Small Crime Record
AS a country under an army of
occupation and reputed, according to
statements in the House Of Commons,
to be seething with lawlessness, Ire
| land presents the usual paradox. 1t
was never in so crimeless a condition
as now. So much can be gathered
| from a statement by the Irish sOlici-
| tor-general recorded in Hansard. He
says that while 1857 convicted per-
sons were in csutody in local pris.
| ons in March, 1913, the number had
fallen to 696 in March, 1919. The
number undergoing penal servitude
fell from 3OS in 1918 to 50 in March
| last-two being women.
There are, of course, many per
sons in Jail for trifling political Of
| lenses, and many in Jail who are new
er brought to trial, but the fact that
Irish judges have been presented Gas
usuaD with white gloves at most OF
| the assiZes shows the real state OF
| affairs. English politicians have been
for long time playing with ireland
| on the policy of the heads win
| tails you lose idea Of sport Wher
! Ireland is tumultuous, they say: Look
at her, she is not fit for self-goyern
ment.' and when she is tranquil the,
/ say: ireland is content with our rule
| she doesn't want Home Rule.
The crimelessness of Ireland is pri
marily due to the teachings of the
Catholic Church, which are unques
tioningly obeyed there.
But the Protestant government OF
England, in order to justify it's high
handed autocracy in Ireland today, is
busy with propaganda which says
] that Ireland is seething mass of dis
order and crime. Who is so silly as t.
! believe such a statement? The presen
! government, of Ireland is hard put tt

other coercion government, it vii

often Truth is beaten to earth, it viii

PEACE At LAST
CAT OLICS OF SWITZERLAND
ARE HAPPY AFTER YEARS
OF PERSECUTION.

Things are advancing quickly for
the Catholics of Switzerland. After
thirty-three years of persecution.
Catholics now enjoy all their rights.
Indeed, q Catholic is member of
the council Of state; a Catholic is vice
president of the national council; a
Catholic has for some time exercised
functions analogous to that of mayor
at Geneva.
A society has just been founded in
the latter city, with the object of de,
veloping religious art and assOciating
it in closer collaboration with the
Catholic liturgy. The society is ded-
icated to IS. Luke and Maurice, and
already has as members certain ar
fists, whose works decorate the
churches Of the region.

Mr.. Creers letters on Irish condi-
tons bear out the recent statements
Of the Catholic Hierarchy of Ireland,
when this earnest body, whose verac-
ity no one would dare impeach, de-
clared as to British oppression and al
legged acts of. violence in Ireland:
1T is, the rule of the sword, utterly
unsuited to civilized nation, and SUI
premely. provocative of disorder and
chronic rebellion. The acts Of vio-
lence, which we have to deplore, and
they are few, spring from this cause,
and from this cause alone. For mere
trif1es, for what in any free country
would be within the rights Of all men.
Irish people have been sent to Jail
under savage sentences"
That British propaganda is going
on, in which millions of dollars are
being spent to discredit ireland and
her fight for freedom in the eyes of
the world, is the statement of many Of
the best-informed journalists. Even
from far-off Australia the fact of such
propaganda and secret service men
stirring up strife and seeking to pre-
cipitate an attack upon the British
soldiery is openly told. That SO few
crimes are committed and the people
are SO self-contained is a marvel to
those who know.
1t is a far cry. from Little Rock to
Australia, yet Mgr. Tobin, an earnest
prelate of the Diocese Of Little Rock
who has just returned from Ireland
declared the country was an armed
camp. In the New Zealand Tablet OF
September / the same statement is
made by the Rev. Father O'Connor, a
returned chaplain. He said:

resented at this Mass. There is no
obligation, binding under sin, how
ever, to attend this Mass.
Are funeral sermons forbidden?
The new Code of Canon Law speaks
of doing away with funeral eulo9ie5,
as they are called. Some bishops
have. on the strength of this, forbid
den all funeral sermons; other Bish-
ops have preferred to await more
definite explanation Of the words, fu-
neral eulOgies. Where such dis
courses are forbidden by the Bishop
it may be presumed that excellent
reasons exist for the prohibition.
Why is the use of flowers on the
casket in Church discouraged?
When a corpse is brought into the
Church for funeral services the spirit
of religion manifests itself in the
black vestments of the priest, the SOM
Der draping of the altar and furni-
lure, the solemn music, and in other
WAYS. Flowers are a symbol OF joy
and happiness, and with regard to flu
nerals they are looked upon by the
Church as a sign or pagan belief or
disbelief. While they may be permit
ted in cemeteries, the Church prefers
10 maintain, in the house of God, the
spirit Of sadness and sorrow which is
proper 10 n funeral.
Is it permitted to use lard of any
kim in the preparation of food on
days of abstinence2
The regulations for the Archdiocese
of st. Raul read: The law OF absti-
nence folCids the partaking OF flesh
meat or broth made from flesh meat
The use of lard is permitted
at all times in the preparation OF
food"
Is it all right to eat on Friday pies,
pastries, doughnuts, ETC., when one is
not sure how they were prepared?
1t is permitted to eat such things,
unless one is certain that they con-
tain meat, as mince pie, chicken pie,
etc.
Who wrote the Mass? Has it come
down to US from Apostolic times?
The Mass was established by Christ
at the Last Supper The words used
in changing the bread and wine into
His body and blood today are the
words He used, Is recorded in the
Bible. Some of the other prayers are
from Apostolic times, some were in
troduced later. But the ceremony is
essentially the same now as from the
very beginning Of the Church.
The Roman Missal says: From
contemporary evidence it is absolutely
certain that the Preface, preceded as
now by the Sursum corda, was chant
ed at Mass in the lifetime Of Chris
tians who had known the Apostles.
The origin of the Roman Canon Of the
Mass is lost in antiquity. 1t is often
known as the Liturgy of st. Peter, and
there are many reasons for believing
chat it is really of Apostolic author
ship though here and there obviously
interpolated."
Tell me something about ST. Paul Of
the Cross.
st. Paul Of the Cross was born in
Piedmont, Italy, and died in 1775.
From his youth he was distinguished
by a marvellous devotion to the Suffer
ing Christ. He devoted himself to a
life of terrible penances and continual
SeIf.sacrifice and founded the strict
PasSionist Order which was favored
by the Holy See and flourished greatly
even in Pauls lifetime. The saint
lived to extreme old age and became
