was stnick with tho curious psychological fact that John Henry Newman was one of three hrothcre trained in the same liomc, yet they took totally


different ways. John Henry was the one win hft the Church of England and became a lioaian Catholic ; of tile otlicr two, one became an eminent University professor, and tho other was an c.atremo Nonconforniiat—.a Baxitist among tho Bapti.ts


John Henry Newman formed religious conviotions • when young ; as a hoy ho would soarecly over enter

a dark room avithout crossing himself. It was this superstition, no doubt, that had a great deal to do with his leaving the church ; yet in after life lie. did not turn his back upon his early self. In 1822 ho was persuaded by Archhisliop Sumner to abandon his own faith and rccoivo tho doctrine of baptismal regeneration—that was tho beginning of . tlio change. A second cliango took place,' Newman was taught that tho sacred tc.vt was never intended to teach a doctrine, hut only to prove it ; niid thus he was led to turn his back upon the Bible, and ho went to the church as his guide. In 1882 lie believed in the doctrine of apostolical succrasion. His ne.vt step was that ho learned to consider antiquity as. tile true exponent of the doctrines of Christianity nnd the basis of tlie Church of England That, . said tlio lecturer, would have been all right had, he gone back to tho first centuiy—tho oldec tin: antiquity tho better; hut instead of that ho stopped at the second century. In 1S40 he began to despair of tlie Clmrcii of England, and in the. following year ho lost .a true friend, and he could not tell w'hich w.ay to turn in his pcrple.vity. It w.aR in the August of 1815, after thovisitof a- priest of tiic Boman Church, that John Henry Newman vanished from tho Church of England j , and lie cxolainied that it was like going into an - open sea, not knowing into what port he would land. The rev. gentlemen said, whatever John Henry Newman might not Iiavo been, he certainly was an earnest Christian and true to conscience. It was a great tiling to turn Ids back npbn the family circle, the university, and tho Church j but at the ca'l of duty he made a saoriflcc; and the man \rho counts all things ns loss for Christ’s sake, as did Newman, should be honoured by everybody. - It It was on his return voyage from Italy, where ho Iiad been to recruit his health, that Newman wroM that beautiful hymn “ Lend, liiiidly light. It was the cry of one who had for tlie time forgotten the saying of his Master, “ I am tho Light of file world.” Tho lecturer said lie was glad wlicn they appointed Newman ns Cardinal, tor if ever a man


de.servod tliat position it washo—for who Iiad niailo such’grcat sacrifices ? lyiicn lie died, there passed


aw.ay one of Britain’s most noble sons. - Votes of thanks wore then accorfed. to the


lecturer and chairman, and tlio nicctint terminated.

ality by Lord Rihble.sdalc in tho lYrucfeenf/t Cc«/(fry. It is quite clear that like all unprejudiced persons who came in contact-with ^Ir. Parnell without raising his suspicions, Lord Ribblesdalc greatly’ admired ,tlic Irish loader, and-hjs^ description oL a long niglit jountcy with him


itigiily


instructive. : Lord Ribblcsdalo sa3'8 tiiat Mr. Par­ nell was not at all reticent when he mot with any­ one who took an intelligent interest in his ideas, and that ho was a pleasant travelling ccmpanion— evidently with the higli-brcd air of the patrician wlio, when it suits him, can talk witlr a total stranger as .'igrcc.ably and with as much ease and


dignified simplicity as if he Iiad known him nil his life. Lord Ribblcsdalo says ho was impressed by


Mr. Parnoll the moment he, entered tho carriage and “ arranged his effects with almost old-niaidish precision,” putting on an old and unliccoining skull­


cap and composing himself to read what looked like one of- Jules A^erne’s stories, iho weather failed to draw’ him, but wheii.Lord Ribblcsdalo tried him with'his'Arrears Bill ho was more .suc­ cessful. Lord. Ribblcsdalo was one of tho few Peers who thought tlie Governmentmade a nustakc


in roiccting it, and of course tho3’ have since had to p.ass it. Mr, PArncll said, “ 1 suppose the Government thought it a dodge of nunc, Ihorc was no dodge; my Bill was only w;hat I thought the properway of meeting a certain condition ot things.” It was alwa3’s a common blunder to take it for'granted tliat Mr. Parnell must, lia>o a dodge” in cverVthing. Lord Ribolesdalc refutes the assertion of Mr. Healey, wlio s.ays that it was only after tlie Gladstonian quarrel that Mr. 1 Anicll took any interest in industrial Ireland. . On the contrarv, Lord Ribblcsdalo found that Mr. 1 arncU believed strongly in the immediate beneficial eiicct- ou Ireland of industrial development of all kinds. Ireland was, however, then in so bad a way that that the risk of Home Rule did not influence her.


Y’ ct he thought the first yc.'irs of Homo Rule would be most an.xious ones, only he seemed to try and keep his eyes shut to tho chance of the failure of Homo Rule as an economic cxpcnniont.


Blit Mr Parnell was one of the few Irishmen . .
