SINN FEINISM DENOUNCED.
Ju a pastoral letter read in all the, churches of the diocese ot Armagh on Sunday, November iloth, Cardinal Logue", Primate "f all Ireland, said: •'Whether it lie due to the demoralisation which this world-war has brought to almost every country, or to the fate which seems to hang over our own unhappy country, Masting her hopes when they seem to brighten, an agitation has sprung up and is spreading among our people which, ill-considered and Utopian, cannot fail, if persevered iu, to entail present suffering, disorganisation, and danger; and is sure to end in future disaster, defeat, and eoUapso. And all this "in pursuit of a dream which no man in his sober senso can hope to seo realised: the establishment of an Irish republic, either by an appeal to the potentates of Europe seated at peace conference or an appeal to force by hurling an unarmed people against an Empire which has five million of men under arms, furnished with the most terrible engines of destruction which human ingenuity could devise. The thing would be ludicr/tis if it were not so mischievous and fraught wit*; such danger, when cleverly nsed as an incentive to fire the imagination of an ardent, generous, patriotic people."
