CATHOLIC CLERGY AND THE WAR.
To the Editor. Sir, —My aboriginal friend threatens to emerge if necessary from his long white cloud with its surplice of calico. Doubtless he will ho able to tell us he has six sons in the navy and six in the army and I have ne’er a one. I don't like to prejudice his contemplated dramatic debut, but we shall have to view him as an anonymous snickeror and hope that his progeny have more bravery than their dad, who came before the public with a stillotto and stabbed in the back. His scriptural quotation about increasing and multiplying, sounds mighty, hut when he has emulated Brer Rabbit in that respect it will be time for him to crow. By the way, if practical religion Is to be judged by successful propagation it seems to me that rabbits are entitled to be regarded as highly religious animals, and should be provided with a sanctuary instead of being done to death by Inspectors and other nuisances. —I am, etc., J. O’NEILL.
