A CARDINAL AND DEFENCE.
During the course of a speech delivered in opening a new church at Epping, New South Wales, Cardinal Moran referred to Australia. He said that during the past few weeks Australian statesmen seemed to be fearing that even the perils of war might be within reach of Australian shores. He hoped the blessings of peace would long continue to be the heritage of Australia. But it was the duty of Australian citizens to fit themselves for any future danger, They must be prepared in time. There was ■an old saying that “ if we wish to preserve peace, we must be equipped so as to be able to defend those rights, either against domestic enemies or those who assailed them from without.” They might look forward to having a cadet force in connection with the school at Epping, and he was sure that if they needed any assistance in perfecting the discipline of the younsters they would no doubt obtain it by union with the adjoining districts.
