MACAULAY.
in a speech to the British Parliament in 1845 Lord Macaulay said: "Two hundred and eighty-five years has this Church (the Anglican) been at work. What could have been done for it in the way of authority, privileges, endowments, which has not been done? Ami what have we to show lor all the lavish expenditure? What, but the most zealous Roman Catholic population on the face of the earth? On the great solid Mass of the Catholic population you have made no impression whatever. There they are, as they were ages ago, ten to one against the members of your Established Church. ... If I were a Catholic T could easily account for the phenomenon. If I were a Catholic I should content myself with saying that the mighty hand and the outstretched arm had been put forth according to the promise in defence of the. unchangeable Church."
