Cussen read an address of wejgqine fc the' bT^qp,, exjrqsg.ing th« gratification fetf by meinb,ers." qf the cougregation at his appointment, and a hope that under his guidance the ohuruh of the diocese would prosper. Dr. Luck replied in fitting terms, and referred briefly to the want of a Catholic school in the district. Mr William Jones then presented an address of welcome on behalf of the members of the Hamilton branch of the H.A.B.G. Spcipty, Tlie Bishoj?, }i\ ackjqwledging tl^c ad* dress, said he hearftly approved of such societies. They were not only established for the alleviatjqu qf sickness and distress, but also for the honor of $he church. TO bo ft member pf such a society jt was fU'4 «cce^apy {$ ty ** S,W il Catholic. ■Furthermore, the society was not a aoeret one, liko that "of Freemasonry, which had worked much evil, and with which those before him must have nothing to do. He concluded by exhorting them not to be satisfied, with a mere confession of their faith in words, but to put their religio i into practice. Mass was celebrated by the Rev. 'Father Q'ttora.Q.S.Bu after. whifiU th« ,Bis.hop r addressed;.she candidates for confirmation on the subject of iheir duties andtrprivileges as 'members of 'the chuich. " Confirmation be said was a seal, an impress, which should they attain "to everi lasting life wduld be ■• an honourable badge, but if they" tailed and were cist out then it would be a , badge of shame andianominy.

Had he the means he would not hesitate to build the school himself. But it was not in his power to do, and the duty, therefore, deyolved on the 1 parents. Until they <> could, avail themselves' of suph a eohool, and so long as they" we&VgoiUaifeif itf toafl) iP" a t}}e national schools-^from wluch Migion was excluded— it was their duty to ace that their childr,eh 'obtained Religious inistruction at honie'and in the' church.
