PERE HYACINTHE AND HIS WORK.
The work which PiSre Hyacinthe is doiug in France for his countrymen is of the most serious importance. He would dam up the freshet of infidelity aud restrain its destructive force. With an eloquence surpassed only by that of Bossuet, and a delicacy of rhetoric almost equal to that of Massillon, he lacks only
the opportunity to make a strong impression on the mind as well as the heart of his age. He is now cabined, cribbed, confined by the indifference—or, better,
the injustice—of the Government, and the very natural but still unfair prejudice of the church which was onec proud of his fame and influence. Pdre Hyacinthe should have a church large enough to give scope to his popularity. With an edifice of suitable size aud in a suitable location—Franco could easily spare him one of the numerous churches of Paris—he would bo materially assisted in one of the most remarkable and interesting experiments of the time.—New York LTurald.
