KING GEORGE V. AND THE POPE.
Sir,—'W liile travelling recently I read a report showing that tho toast of "The Pope and the King" had been proposed at a Wellington committee's banquet, in honour of throe Irish delegates who had collected about ,£IO,OOO for the cause of Home liule for Ireland. Seeing that Mr. John liedmond has promised that Protestants in the North of Ireland shall be as well treated as tho lioman Cat holies in the South whoa an Irish Parliament is established, T do not think he would (indorse (lie action of his representatives in New Zealand when they already publicly prefer tho Pope of" Homo before King George V of England. Can any loyal subject of the British dominions support a toast which places their rulor below the level of an outside authority? Personally, I am an admirer of tho present Pope and his predecessor on account of their spiritual and literary gifts.—l am, etc., AN ANGLICAN CHUKCIIMAN.
