The Pope’s Forecast.
T he Popo, in receiving recently a large number of British pilgrims visiting Rome, took the occasion of the recent Eucharistic Congress in London to recall the close bonds which had once united Eng'land to the C hurch of Rome. He considered that the Roman Catholic demons-tration in London, combined with frequent conversions to the Roman faith, were forerunners of England’s conqffete
return to the fold and perfect subrntssion to the See of Koine. Such comments, coming from such a quarter, raised the enthusiasm of the pilgrims to their highest pitch, and they intoned the hymn, “God bless our Pope.” So touched was the Pontiff that as he retired he repeated : “ Thanks, thanks ” whilst the pilgrims burst- into loud hurrahs.
