Answers to Correspondents

"Sympathiser" (Takaka)-We regret that the only copy of the American Report that reached us is the one we are at present using in the Tablet. . To Various Correspondents.—Next week we will publish ' the final list of subscriptions for the Relief Fund. After that no more will be received as the Editor will be absent and cannot 'attend to them. Send what you can get direct to Cardinal Logue, Armagh. Inquirer.—We are not aware that Sir Edward Carson married a Catholic. His wife cannot be the person you inquire about since no such person exists. N.M. —The Irish people did not recognise the Union by their presence in Westminster for over a hundred years, as our local day-lie asserts. For many decades after the Union no Catholic was permitted to become a Member of Parliament, and when O'Connell was returned his presence was a protest against the Union. H.McM. —Catholics oppose Bible reading in schools because the Protestant version used in public schools is a faulty translation and it leaves out a number of books,- also because of the danger of permitting men and women of no fixed religious views to comment on the text.
