At St. Patrick's Day sports, at the Agricultural Ground, Sydney, Archbishop Kelly made a vigorous speech. '"All the world over," he said," "the desire of the free nations is that Ireland will return to her place among the self-governed nations. Rut so far the goal has not been gained. "We, tho people of Sydney, say 'Let the Irish Parliament bo opoued in the old House in College Green without delay, and lot it not bo later, despite the House of Lords, than 1914.' "

Later, in responding to a vote of thanks, Archbishop Kelly said he bolonged to all, without any difference of creed or country. Ho could do no more than give himself to the people. But when there was any question of fidelity to principle lie loved to be in tho forefront of tlio agitation. Ireland had been faithful—more faithFul than any other nation. She bad been the most faithful to the principles of love of country and love of God. Let Ireland have as much freedom as England and Scotland.

"If we don't get Home Rule,'" continued l Archbishop Kelly, "then they can look out! \Ye will upset their Parliament over and over again. The fight has gone on for centuries, and if it is to go 011 for centuries mnr» so much the worse for Wi.aL ihey call the British Empire. If they are wise, and give us Homo Rule quickly, we will all be very glad, but if they don't then we will treat them as we did the Other day, and we'll succeed, as we succeeded with the bursaries. You know we could have had two commissioners in for the bursaries. There were more Catholic schools in the State than others. As for the British House of Lords—well, the Lords are only showing their incompetency as hereditary rulers. They do not recognise that Ireland is losing lier life's blood, and that every Irishman who goes away does so with hostile feelings towards England. The members of the House of Lords are not fit to he in the Upper Chamber. Do you think T have a warm heart for England, because I could not get an education excopt in Trinity College?"
