HANDS TO THE PLOUGH.
BISHOP FOGARTY’S ADVICE. LONDON, Feb. 23. Commenting on th© distress in Ireland, Bishop MeNeelly, of Raphoe, condemns the pessimistic propaganda as keeping the people in a ferment of discontent. Much of the depression, he says, is due to the long spell of adverse weather, but “why should people faint now who did not lose confidence in more trying times?” Bishop Fogarty, of Killaloe, says: “During the Great War, while others were starving, God lavished abundance on Ireland. We have shown our gratitude by burning, wrecking and destroying the gifts of God in a campaign of crime, which is an awful scandal to the world and a disgrace to our Catholic name. “If His chastening hand is laid upon us we have nobody to blame but ohrselves. Unless Ireland organises her agricultural resources, everything we have to sell will be driven from the market. We shall .he left, as we deserve to be, a nation of beggars.”
