DUBLIN.— Good Advice Lord Justice Holmes's speech in Dublin m smpp-ort of the Auxiliary Fund of the Protestant Episcopalian Cihurch was a welcome rebuke to the Puoteytant critics who have beesi busy denouncing the waste upon Jnsh Catholic churches and Iris-h ('at)bolic schools. lie desired, he said, to take the opportunity of saying that he disassociated himself from certain comments that had been made as to tihe spirit of devotion displayed by Roman Catholics in the matter of church building and tihe hi:c. 'He regretted such comments, for he beliejvefcl that the contributions to such work were actuated by two motives. In the first place they weie caused by icasion of the fact that these Roman Cathlies loved their Churt'h, and secondly, because lowng their Church they were ready a'nvd prepared, to make self-sacrifices for it. He asked tiiem at that meet ma;, as Protestant's, to show a similar spirit of self-denial arid hbpraliby. Their congregations, it nnihi be admitted, were more wealthy indeed than their Roman Catholic brethren, and, therefore, he was smre their contributions would at all events realise what was needed for the Auxiliary Fund.'
