It is reported that the Borrs attacked them to-day. D. and F. are mid- way to Belmont where a well is being sunk. B., U. and E. left Belmont at 4 pm. yesterday and marched here. H. remained. Hive pioneers were left to bring part of the stores by train. I marched with the oxen. We reached here at 9.15. A blunder in loading the waggons kept us late leaving Belmont. liming worked hard all day I was tired when we got here. Batson and I lay behind the cart, the colored drivers at one side, the oxen in front. After issue of rations and breakfast of fried bacon, bread and coffee, I had a bath, washed my socks and shirt and l'elt quite fresh. The com- panies got their tents pitched about noon and immediately got orders to move across the railroad. That is the kind of thing that makes me tired. It must be pretty warm sometimes, for common soap it left on boards in the sun will melt, and wax candles are very little use. sagging intoall sorts of curves. I seem to stand the heat Well, for the blacks seem to be just as anx- ious as I to get into the shade of the wag- gons or anything else. Two streams of troops are flowing towards Magersfontein. The railroad being unable to handle all, one is marching. The poor Gordons were encamped here when we arrived. This a.m. they marched off for the front again to the music of pipes. I thought we were in one of the streams but we seem to have struck an eddy. I heard a gun just now but it turned out to be a blast. One of the colored drivers was talking about the war this a.m. He said the Boers boasted that they would drive the Englishmen into the .sea and Englishmen would not be seen in ‘ Africa. any more. Continuing he said Englishmen come by truck (rail), ox‘wagon am? cart, buckwagoh, horseback and walk, and finished by the remark, “I dond dink Boer ever see so manys Englishman: be- fore."

When we were at Belmont one case of fruit that came was over~ripe, so some of the pioneers under- took to make each brandy. The left it to ripen till eaving Belmont w en they sampled it. The flavor was not as good as expected but the strength made up for it. Two of them were knocked out the first round, so the others did not imbi‘be.

Th1s day is at (1.1V ot triumph for the children of Irish parent:-; and they should rember the dignity with which they should fulfil their oblig tions as “children of the Saints. " It must be ev1- dent to those who are follow mg the course of events to day that we are in the midst of a religious evolution. W e see that even in this country, Putestantism is fdnf pass- ing away in France, Austria, Poland and Belgium We see pe0p1e returning to the foldg and giving up error. Even in England there are great changes; proud England which found it impossible to ac- knowledge any other church than the English is coming around to be Once more Catholic. A complete transformation is taking place throughout the world, and many earnest souls are returning to the old faith of St. Patrick. “We are the children of the. Saints, and look fox- that light which would be given to them that change not their faith Tobias, 218." As most of the old members of the pried:- h0od are peasant: an ay, and moat of the old pioneers with them alac â€" lo the Voung children of the “Sogzarae h Aroon” it is fitting that I address my-elf on this least of_'he patron Squnt of Ireland. At High Mass on the mowing of St. Patrick's Day Rev. Father Sullivan of Peterboro delivered an addresa in St. Mary’s church of this town. A very large audience was present. The following 18 an outline of Father Sullivan’s lecture: Text: We must not forget that France evange- lised the world in this through her martyred priests, whose blood was shed to plant the faith. Their principal centres were Gi-osse isle and Point St. Charles. To-day the people are mystified by the multipticity of creeds which aSsails them, but the Catholic priests are saving the faith throughout the land. file Irish faith planted by St. Patrick has been tried in the furnace of tribulation. and has come out more firm and lasting than ever. Rome the centre of civilization, was swept by persecution, yet nothing could crush her Irish faith. She alone has preserved the taith which shoots its roots and bran- ches through all parts of the known wovld. When you Visit Jerusalem, you see it there, when you go into the catacombs, you find it there also. When pagan Rome fell she arose a christian city. whose flow- ers of devotiou to the faith were watered oy the blood of her martyred children. They preserved the faith as truly as when St. Patrick planted it on the hill at Tara. \ hen God chooses natiOna for any great work, He endows them with all the qualit- ies necessary for the perfo: nuance or that work. There are many traditions concern- ing the Irish. It is beliewd by many that they were Malesians, who settled there after the transmigration of Babylon. They looked for the coming of the Messiah, and never forgot their task they bent their necks to that yoke and were ready to re- ceive His teachings. A Sermon at St. Mary’s by Rev. Father Sullivan of Peterboro. THE PATRON SAINT It is not necessary for me to go into de- tail about the life of St. Patrick, of his boyoood's days spent in Africa, of his landing in Ireland, etc. We know of his triumph on Easter Sunday. when he ap- peared a man vested in Crosier and Mitre. The Druid King sat on his thr0ue in splendor. surrounded by his attendants, and when he beheld St. Patrick. who had kindled a fire some distance amp. he ordered him to be brought to him. When St. Patrick told him of his m-s:icn. and of the one true God he woashipned, they were astounded; they argued agglufib his dnctrine, but be convinced them of the truth, and thus the conversion of the Isle was accomplished without bloodshed. The three centuries from the 5th to the 8th were a golden period in the island. It gave many Saints and scholars to the world. Many notable persons from all parts were educated in her seminarées. Among them Alfred the Great. afterwards founder of the University of Oxtord. and also the founder of the Seminary of Paris. Ireland during that period, was one of the most peaceful spots in Europe, and she escaped the wrath of the northern hordes. Even in pagan Rome she was the ark of God, secure fiom His wrath. There were very few of the ancient towns to whom she did not give her martyrs. France. Switzerland, Belgium, Germany all shared her martyrs. In the 6th centurv her sorrow begin. The Danes and the:Normans did not cease to persecute her, and when the spostacy of England under Henry the Eighth took place. Ireland sank out of sight among the nations of Europe. She was like her crucified Savior, but she never forgot her teachings. In the 15th century, when the western schism took possession of the land. Ireland alone remained firm. There were feuds among the Irish chiefs. and the English King tried to bribe them, but they scorned him with indignation, Lon- donderry and Cork united asa man and spurned his prgposals: 'St. Paul tells us that faith is the subs- tanee of things to be hoped for. England chose for that isle the glory of this world, and Ireland for over 1100 vears the glory of things unseen, and this is the quint- essence of faith, the realization of things unseen. They talk of Ireland being SIP-pur- stitious, of the people seeing ghosts and banshees and fairies. Well, it is owing to the faith which has become part of their nature, and which makes them so easily realize the unseen, that they can in fancy see what really has no visible presence. The Irish race are slow to forget their dead, they reverence them forever. The :tenacity of their faith destroys all obstac- lles of time and space, it is their natural gift; you might crush out every sentiment in them, but the love of the altar of faith will last to the end. The Irish have many faults, but where is there a man who has given more proof of conjugal fidelity, of more or the purity of Mary, than the Irish- man. Who has more patient, tender love than the Irish mother? The Irish wife is Queen of her husband's heart because he honors her pure woman- hood, and is true to her. Whet sufferings do not the Irish mothers endure, when they see their sons and daughters bidding them good-bye forever, to be exiled in a foreign land. Did ever mothers sulfer as they? No other mothers, except the me. only Mary, at the foot of the crOss. Re- member my voung peonle to whom much la given of him, much shall be required. Jesus expects you to show your Protes- tant friends, that yours is the religion that Emakes saints: I exhort )ou in the name of Jesus, of St. Patrick. and of all the hidden saints of Ireland to'honor by the purity of your lives your Irish names and your catholic faith. 75 Cents par annnm PAGESS T0 12 OF IRELAND
