THE CHILDREN'S Awe -The annual meeting of this Society was held in the 0ourt House on Tuesday last and as usual, was attended only by the faithful few who, having tsome know ledge of the work done, feel it to he worthy their asaistance. The report of the Executive for 1900 showed 10 cases dealt with, involving 13 children. Of these, two lads had been committed to the Industrial Schools, needing striet discipline ; three were cases of girls) Jed astray, one heing under 14 years of age ; two members of a deso- late family ho.ve been taken from pov- erty and placed in good homes ; while three others whose circurnstaneee make anything like proper bringing up an impossibility, are being prepared for removal to the London Shelter, from Whence they will reach suitable homes. Two of the CAPPS were infants, one dying while arrangements for ite transference were being completed, and the other, the child of dissolute parents, will be remot ed in a little while. Other details might be git en, hut these show that even in the pros- perous county of Huron there are fre- quent calla for the interference and co-operation of he Children's Aid So- ciety. The report acknowledges the sympathy and financial aid given by the County Council, who have paid bills aggregating $05.37, for transport. atioe, clothing runt maintenance in therm cases. elratefill mention is made also of the cheerful and sympathetic co-operation of Mr. Joseph &indent, Secretary of the Children s Shelter et London, an 1 of the officials of the S.

The Dundee Star says the deceased was one of the best known ministers in the Hamilton boifference of the Methodtst Church, and that In his death that body loses one of its best pulpit orators and one of its best beloved pastors. The gentleman had been actively engaged in the minietry for about 25 years, the greater part of which was in the Ham- ilton conference, and wlsile pastor of Batton street church, Hrmilton, he organized the Young Men's Union of that church. He was 0, man of warm heart and cheerful disposition, and of great piety And zeal, and endeared himself to all whom he met. The de- ceased was a member of the A. 11'. and A. M.. the L. 0.

Editor Goonnicn SkrAtt. Sta,-In your issue of ttlt inst. there appears a conenueication from an ex. Methodist minister, Mr. Benjamin Nott, condetnnation of the resolutions of the Catholics of Goderich to use the tneaus within their reach to punish, not %iodic- tively, hut for correction's aake, the French Government and people for their act of robbery recently committed against all Christianity. But this robbery falls more grievously on the Catholic Church for the reason that tlte vast majority of those who suffer this persecution are Catholics, and also because the conditions under which the robbery is committed are esseutially opposed to the constitu- tion of the Catholic church, wherear Protestants, RS members of merely local organizations, can more readily accommo• date themselves to the local machinery which the French Government has laid down for the management of public wor- ship. In fact, Air. Nott says that from the Protestants "there is not a word of compiaint against the Governutent," be- cause it has dissolved " the unholy alli- ance between Chtirch and State." Mr. Nott is entirely mistaken on this point. On the occasion of the pasenge of the laws under which the churches and ecclesiastical property were seized as the property of the elate, the Protestant and rewish consistories and conventions both protested against the law Its an iejustice, and ao it really was. But the Protereants and Jews, being not essentially one body, found that they could miller such laws keep up public worship, rind they used the laws establishing asaociations of wor- ship so that the church buildiugn might not at oace poen out of their hands, for they are not without hope that better times may restore to them the full title to their possessions. Nott has evidently not made him- self acquainted with the brutality of the proceedings of the French Government, nor indeed does he even seem to have read the almost daily reports of the pro - great, of the persecntion against the Cath- olic Church, otherwise he could never have asserted that " the crisis in France is not a persecution of brutal violence in- flicted upon the church by the govern- ment; It is the cuhnination of political, moral and social conditions in the church, combined with her disloyalty and intri- guing." He says also that the amsertion of the Goderich Catholics is a false charge that "the French Government blasphemously boasted that they bad driven Christ out of the schools and they would now drive him out of the country," and "they have driven the clergy out of their homes with brutal violence." It is the ex•Rev. Mr. Nett who asserts here what is false. And where are the proofs? The chief Rabbi of France, M. Leh. mann, protested thus: " Wily should the State suppress establishments which luel been guaranteed by nearly every consti- tution passed since 17et, nod protected by every law„ , mei why simnel it aeize property :Acquired with its approba- tion) Whnt we want is that plates of worship shonld belong to those who built them and who pray in them, and that every religious denomination ahould pre. serve the form of organization which moat conformable to its traditions and aspirations." Thin venerable Rabbi sees in the act of spoliation the insecurity of future ownership, or rather tenaticy, for what the Government owns 0 may claim at eny tinie. The Protestant consietnries have spoken similarly, hut they endure for the present what they cannot cure. The Catholics have; a different tradi• : ion, however. The Catholic Church et the world is under gine supreme head and the Bishops govern the various diocesen, t oo in number, lido which the world is divided. It !tiny he readily neon that the new Vrench law which givea a few men n each parinh the full control of the ad • ministration of church affairs, Ignoring both Bishops; arid Pope, cannot he ender, ed, whether the worship nenociationa be made up of go/ 4 or bad turn. lt can aot be allowed that such rinnortetinna ahould appoint whom they 1i/cane as pentore, en excommunicated or etispended prienta. end do everything else in connection wills the church and ita worship, under the direction and aupervinion of the State.

The Preto+ Government celred al/ the doeuments of the Perin Ntinciature end thought, or pre. tended to think, it had a prize which would prove what Mr Nott aaserta with - mit a particle of proof. And why does not the French Government produce itn probative (incur:lento now' it la become Mk 11 paper% do not exiat, and because they are nkillfiri and brazen in deceit The Pope end the French Binhope nre in reality lovern of Prance, and they helve borne the perteention inflicted on them eith wonderfnl patience and meek nens ; hnt there in no rear,on why we, the Catho- lic/a of Canada and the Milted Statea, ahould not strike back an effective Mow, when AI, C tetrameter*, the French Pretni • er, announces that theee is now on a de- termined war in which he has find the nounces dogmatically that it is nothing of the kind. But there aro real Protest- ant clergymen who are authorized to speak for Protestants, and W110 differ en- tirely front Mr. Nott. Bishop Durnoulin, the Anglican Bishop of Hallilltou. said a few days ago In a sermon in St. James' Cathedral, Toronto, "It is not in heathen Janda that we have most to fear for the progress of the gots. pet of Clarist, but in Christian lands where there is danger 9f apentacy. Wo have an example of title in Prelim, which is on the high rood to the repudiation of God." Rev. John VanSchiak, a Protestant pas- tor of Washington, on Dec. 3o said at a pnblic meetiug on thie very question; " I am a Protestant, I was born a Protest- ant. I arn proud of the Protestant tradi• dons of my fathers, and happy in my work as u minister of the Protestant church. But I want to say fairly aud squarely that Protestantism will Luise n high and noble opportunity if it does not rise with indignation and power and pro- test against the wrong done to the Catho- lics of Fmnce." It must be borne in mind that the church buildings in France to the value of $tioo,000,000, were confiscated in tekle and sold during the twelve years of the Reign of Terror. These were all the pro- perty of the Church, and were built by means of the donations of pious people, and not by the Government. Napoleou I, knowiug that gcod morals and good citizenship canuot exist without religion, made the Concordat with the Pope, Pius VI, that religion should be restored. The church property which bad not been de- stroyed or sold was restored, but there was a great difficulty in regard to that which had been sold to individuals by the atheistic State, and a cempromise was made that the State should pay the sala- ries of the priests and bikhops, the whole amount tieing only one per ceut of the property thus confiscated and sold. These salaries were therefore, uot as Mr. Nott represeute, a payment for which the Pope allowed the Governtnent to nominate the Bishops. They were a payment in part for a debt due by all just lante. Here it is to be remarked that iu the restoratieu of religion Protestants and jdws were also beniguantly considered, even larger salaries being given to their clergy titan to the Catholic priests, be - canoe the former Mid families to support. Mr. Nott represents the matter as if the Pope had agreed that the Government's notninees to Bishoprics should be neees. eerily accepted by the Pope, and that Pius X broke the Concordat by not ac- cepting Premier Coombes' nominees. Pius VI tnade no such agreement. The Government wan allowed to norn• incite the Bishops, but At WAS always the Pope's inalienable right to accept or reject the nominees. The Church and the Pope could 110t exercise any influence if Mr. Nott's state- ments were true. In practice the agree- ment worked so that both parties to the contract agreed upou the men before the nominations Were made, and thus both were satisfied. It was for many years the aim of the Redicaln of Prance to de. stroy religion, and M. Cnonthes merely used the right of nomination Hs a pretext to carry out hie plan. ife claimed the sole right of appointment, a claim which no Pope ever did or could concede. To show the spirit ln which the French pereecution is carried on, we need only consider the following etatement of a niember of the C.overnment, M Briand, then Mihister of Education, now Minister of Public Worship. These words Were addressed to the school teachers et A mime+ fsw weeks ago : " The time has come 001. from the minds of French children the ancient faith which has served ite purpose, and replace it with the light of free•thought, It ix time to get rid of tbe Christian iden. We have hunted Jesus Christ out of the army, the navy, the schools, the hoepitaln, inaane and orphen asy hum and law courts, and now we must hunt him out of the State altogether." Were not the Catholicn of Goderich right denouncing a Government whose mt•mhers, Briand, James, ttc•, 114W...spoken in thin style A eililoce+ not Mr. Non render himself open to stinpicion of favoring Athenint when he becomes the 1)01 atiot such men ?

To tile editor of Tun Sten. - Oa (recount of considerable dfitcgsv sion having arisen over the reeenb purchase of coal by the new Commies slon, and more especially oti account of tho flagrant nalerepresentationit made by some concerning tho mune, allow us to state in a few words what actually occurred. Immediately after the municipal elections, Mr. Kelly informed tho Commission tbat there waa tiot coal at the works to last longer than a week, and that some stop must be taken at once, The Ooms mission perceived that if the purchase of coal without tendee was to be avoided, tendere must be asked for by telegram Immediately. Let it be here etated that by actual test at the works tho only coals which we can safely purchase with due regard to economy are Wilson's "Red Jacket","Voughi. gheny", The lihirmount Ooal 'Fairmount coal" and Pochabontas". We asked tenders from Win. Lee. F. B. Holmes, Peter bleEwan Estate. Itobt. Elliott, The Fairmount Coal Co., Detroit, and the H. 1'. Moon Coal t)o..

Acting on this principle they cannot buy any coal which has not been actually tested at the works. If there are any who would like to get an order from us, by sending a 'eanaple oar their coal will be tested We have actually found a number of those tested to be almost absolutely useless. We may add In conclurriou, the Commission not hav- ing been sworn in, we adviaed the engineer to nuske the purchaae which was made. WATER & 1101TT UOMM1481014. PEOPLE WE KNOW.
