MEATH— The Clergy's Protest At a conference of the clergy of the diocese r Meath, he-Id in Navan, the Most Rev. Dr. Gau>ghran presiding, the following resolutions were passed expressing feelings of the deepest sorrow at the persecution which the Church in France is undergoing by the expulsion of the religious Orders, by the secularisation of education, 'by the spoliation of convents and presfoy.tenes, by the- prohibition that is being enforced against the free celebration of Holy Mass, culminating in the outrage offered to the Supreme Pontiff himself by the wilful misrepresentation of his pastoral instructions, and by the expulsion of his special representative ; and declaring that in the midst of such persecu<taoms it is a source of deep consol-ajtAon to witness the marvellous unanimity of bishops and priests in sentiment and in sune-ings, as well as their wholehearted determination to persevere in loyal attachment to the See of Rome. With very special feelings of indignation the clergy protested against -any attempt to siuppress the Irish College— a college endeared to them by so many noble traditions— traditions which carried them back to the ages of persecution, when their exiled students found the sanctuary and home in Catholic France which was denied to them in the land'of their birth. ROSCOMMON— A Father to the Poor The Most Rev. Dr. Clancy, Bishop of Elpbin, in the course of a letter acknowledging a vote of condolence passed by the Castlerea board of Guardians on the death of Monsignor Hanly, P.P., says • his hand wasalways open to relieve distress, and he never felt so happy as when he gave whatever little money he had to relieve the misery of poor pasishioners. For. the same reason, no institution in the parish was dearer to him than the Workhouse, and I have known him' to ~ suffer the most, acute -pain when he encountered those persons whom he could not relieve as effectually as he should like. In the. highest spiritual sense of the word he was truly a father to the poor."

It says the year 19U6 opened with great promises, which have been ?>Z ? an J ulfiUed - •. Since the days of Father Mathew there has been nothing approaching the wave of temperance sentiment which is now spreading over the country 'The most encouraging feature is, that it promises to lead to results in the near future that will not only reform drinking habits, but bear such economic fruit that it will appeal to all. For this welcome change, credit is given to the Anti-Treatine League, the Gaelic League, the crusade con-ducted by the Capuchin Fathers, and other movements The pledge administered by bishops to childnen when receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation is not referred to X iXt'ff won ' ders since toe hierarchy Laborers' Cottages In, the course of a letter to the ' Freeman's Journal, advocating the erection of laborers' cottaiges in Conraaulght, the Most Rev. Dr. Clancy, Bishop ot Elphm, says :— The first of the Irish Laborers' Acts was passed in the year 4883, and since then at least six further Acts dealing with the same problem, nave been placed on the Statute Book. Each year a sum of ' over £40,000 has been forthcoming from the British ■ lreasury to aid us in providing suitable residences foragricultural laborers in Ireland. According to a Par- . liamentary return, supplied by the Local Government XV M the requisition of Mr. Flavin, M.P % for West Kerry, on the 13th March, 1906, bringing the statistics -down to the 31st of the same month, it appears that of 20,634 laborers' cottages erected in Ire- i land during these twenty-three years, 10,617 were erected an Munster, 8018 in Leinster, and 3663 in Ulster • whale in Connaught, where they were most needed, only ddb cottages for laborers have .been erected during that period. I find that, in several individual unions, oufcsi'de i Connaught, more energy. has been manifested in availing of the Laborers' Acts than in all the unions of the western province put together. For example the single rural district of Kilmallock, in the County Limerick, has been provided- with as many as 722 lab- - orers cottages ; and in each of the seven other unions over 400 cottages have been erected, that is, 60 in excess of the total number erected in the whole or Conraaught. *
