cause the gravest apprehensions for the future. This !lge in which we live, is nn age of stormy debntes and con­fllcts on the principles ofthings. Socinlism, Communism, Rationalism and Infidelity have seized the great body of .the people. Rebellion ngninst the laws of the Christian .Faith and of the Christian Church hns bnrst upon the world, like a storm at sea. True Christianity is b~ttling like an iron-clad, ag>tinst the combined furies of barba­r-ism, infidelity , scorn and malignant hate. Distorted minds, apostate nations, hostile socieLies and pulpits of profanity have ungratefully conspired to destroy the ·only true guardian of faith and mornlity, and therefore of order and civilizfl.tion, and to spread far and wide contempt for heaven's law. Itnly , so long the home of learning and s:<nctity, under the mild and beneficent rule of the Popes, is now only a shadowy monarchy, and her king, weary of his stolen crown, sighs for thnt pe:tce which he cnn nowhere find. Her fruitful valleys, :once the abode of a peaceml and happy peasantry , QI'e now inhabited by an oppressed

· and discontented people, who, ifthey have not yet established anarchy in the state, are restrained. only . by those principles of Christian faith, which the usurping reigns of Victor Emanuel and Humbert could not totally emd icate.

The Russian Empire, glorying in its wealth and coloss11l power, is sh!Lken throughout its vast extent by the machinations of its nihilistic subjects. Thfl.t power­

.fnl fl.Utocrat, the czar, who rules with an iron hand over church and state has not a spot in all his dominions where he can rest in security. He does not appefl.r among his people, unless surrounded by an army of police and satellites, and every unusual sound causes blood to rush back to hi s he:<rt, lest, the next moment he be hurled into eternity by the most t errible agent ever phced in the assassin's hand-dynamit~

Prussia too, that nation which has played so impor­tant a p:ut in the dra.ma of the world during the p:<st twenty years; that nation which h:1s silenced, apparent­ly, forever, the politic:1l voice of catholic Austria and

_ brought proud France to her knees, despite her large standing army and the consummate diplomacy of her prime minister, is in danger of being torn asunder by a frenzied. populace. Never before, perhaps, in the history of 'lny nation, aud certainly not in the history ofGerm~ny, did a state so little accomplish the end fur whic!J it was organized. The lnrge standing army, so necessary tor the prosecution of the !:tte wars in which Pru~sia wa.s engaged, and still necessary · as a means of defence are an additional burden on a people 11lready overtaxed.

Tile Germans are clri ven to desperation, by the tyrannical rule of a govemment which should have rendered them happy, and Bism:trk, the most uncom­promising enemy tile chnrcl1 ever had, the man who but a short time ago, exerted all his powers to destroy every vestige of Catholicity, now seeks an alliance with that same Church as the only means of saving the empire.

Haughty England is agitated throughout the length n,nd breath of her possessions by the clamors of starving millions. Poverty and oppression reign in the most beautiful and fertile of all her territories, and though Gladstone, Harcourt, Grenville and the other mani­pulators of the British Parliament, may tell the world: "it is all right," yet, th·tt cry cannot be hushed for it is

the voice of a clown trodden nice clamoring for justice. In this period of moral anrl social earthquakes, when

the great ocean of time is strewn with wrecks of society, drifting rudderless, 11nd hopeless, we look across the troubled waters for some haven of safety. With longing g>1ze and anxious hearts we tnrn to the eldest daughter of the church; to a nation which has long been the pride of civilization; to a nation of heroes, scholars and saints. Bnt, alas! France's imperial or royal crown is no more. The glories of her past history ru·e lost on her ctegenerate children. Her civil and religious liberty is gone. She is given over to an infidel goverment. Already she is trembling at the revels of the communists, and very soon the cr11sh of her downfall may resound throughout the world.

Spain, which once held ascendency in the world of progress, discovery and military glory, hns long been politically dead. But now, as if to hurry on her disso­lution and blot out her ex istence, an anarchical element, known as the "bl11ckhand," is at work on her soil. She has been aroused from her slumbers by the yells of the revolutionistb, and the tocsin that broke her lethargic sleep may yet be her death knell as a nation.

Our own country, though it has a national existence of but a hundrerl years, hns not escaped the contagion. Trne, it is not oppressed by that plague of Europe, large standing armies, and its agricultural resources afford ample means for livelihood to all its inhabitants, but the same cause of discord exists here as in the old world. It is the same war, the war between capital and labor, between the powerful and the weak, and the revolutionary Spirit has seized the people, from the Great Lakes to the Gulf ot Mexico, from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean.

Such then is the social condition of the world to-clay and the outlook for the future is clark and ominous indeed. This spirit which pervades the m!lsses, this spirit of revolution, of destruction, is the same in all countries, it matters not under what name it appears. It is the same motive which actuates the carbonari of Italy, the nihilists of Russia, the socialists of Germany, the communists of France, the invincibles of Ireland, and the various organizations which clistmb the p&'1ce and harmony of the United States. And as the plant cannot exist unless the seed is first placed in the soil, so also, it is certain that this state of things must have a cause. But where are we to seek this cause? It is only in the f~tlse principles which have been taught the people for the last three hundred y&'lrs. l\fan is by nature so constituted, that if not restrained by some authority, higher than human, he continually seeks for wealth and power, no matter what misery must necessa­rily result therefrom t•> his fellow creatures. And hence, when the authority of God was rejected by kings, and fhlse principles of justice and morality taught to the people, those seeds of rebellion were sown, which are now bearing such abundant and bitter fruit. When Luther, ov~r three centuries ago, rose up in his pride like Lucifer of old and said; " I will not serve," "I will not obey," he set an example which has been imitated over and over again since his time. And as kings rebelled against just authority, that they might follow the bent of their own evi l passions, in like manner, do they find their oppres­sive rule justly set at naught by the people. It was revolt against authority that severed Eugbnd from the church in the sixteenth century. "I will not serve," was the

And thus t he fi g ht wh ielt has Leon progressing so long is at lrtst rcrtching its culminati on.
