erty of Philadelphia: Like wolves their priests
were hunted down in the Businesses of the noun
tains, and felons price was set on their heads
Laws penalizng them with racks and ropes, were
enacted to terrorize and crush them. The bread
was taken from the mouths Of Irish children and
their strong men died OF starvation by the road
side: Combined tyranny and want drove them in
myrlads to the four corners OF the earth.
But wherever they have roamed as outcasts
they have witnessed to Thy faith and out of the
savings OF their sweat and toll they have dotted the
surface OF the globe with temples to Thee How
long O Lord is Ireland to suffer? For centuries
sine has been nearest to the cross of Thy Cruciied
Som We pray that having, like Him. been fixed to
the wood of the cross, like Him also she may be
raised by Thee from the dead. Amen"
