The subject of the O'Siillivan Scholarship and' Sir Robert Stout's attitude in Tegard to the bequest was referred to by Bishop Lenihan at St. Patrick's Cathedral on Sunday. His Lordship said : "During the week we were informed that a bequest had been made by Mr. O'Sullivan, of Timaru, to enable Catholic students to win renown, at the New Zealand University. This news was s mot,t gratifying to us,' and if any such bequests aro made to any other denomination they will also be interesting as an assistance) to the cause of education. Subsequently, however, Sir Robert Stout took it upon himcolf to adversely criticise tho wisdom of the pcuute when it accepted the bcqnest, and in .so doing posed as the adviser of Catholics. If Sir Robort Stout would or could leave every such matter relating to Catholics severely alone it would be better for us and' boiler for tho RejeTal goodwill and peace of this Dominion which we all so earnestly desire."
