from jcoutjtenancingl^Mir. Redmond, he sa y B n.L-«« M^f^ft^elt^ therefore, as Bishop of Auc^landjvvvill^be abstention froinVpijy parjbiciptitioa tlie programmes »,o|>' political [agitators. ;VMy reasons for ;'this Wine of s conduct jse, firstly, a3 a <\f the :,Cathofi<§ Church, the |SBpiriJual kjngdoin,pf Gocbconcerns myself Amuehliabo^e,' parwe«lV an( l statjnmiship fyicfflml thifflfipyfrof country is a duty and a virtue, I deprecate interfering with the bond of charity which ought to unite Catholics of all nationalities in the peace and harmony of the Catholic Church. ! Secondly, from the experience of the post lam distrustful of political leagues. As the late great Archbishop of Dublin, Cardinal Cullen, said, "These leagues may be compared to a train into which the agents invite you to .step, and in spite < of ' ' ' youfr s ft inieutions and their 'asseverations, you will find yourself carried beyond the 'posfraWhich-you'intended-.to^topf^aad, landed at a terminus altogether beyond youf ; original plans. 'Thirdly, ( leagues sue looted upon with favour 1 ' by the secret societies, which sooner _or_ later work their way into them, and then set their machinery to work for objects and ends disapproved of by the Church. Fourthly, the funds which are invariably an essential condition for the existence o( 'these leagues; and Which have to be raised from amongst those who join them, so often find an exhaustive application in the salaries of the agents, who parade their own disinterestedness. ' Fifthly, I do not 'see the wisdom or utility of mixing oneself up in an adopted country in the feuds and stiife of the land of one's birth, especially when the land of one's adoption is at the very antipodes of the field of action. Sixthly. 'By their fruits ye shall kbow them.' ;Thc • results ! of ( " ex-, | aggerated party' feeling', "especially in connection with ■ leagues,/ has been in many a diocese, and parish the prolific | source of crimes crying to heaven for vengeance, of disunion among families and friends, of false principles influencing individuals to such a, degree as to cause them to cease to heed the voice, of the church. The Catholic body in this diocese has hitherto kept aloof from all disturbing agoucics, and remained usefully and sensibly intent on their own business. I would be most giieved to see ,th,e existing peaceful harmony that reigns amongst you bioken in upon by discordant party cries," The, reply of the society niciely rcfeis thb Bishop to the rules of their society which prohibits nnlitical discussions.
