Wynne asks if McFarland saw last week in the Spectator a garbled quotation from Bishop John Hughes 's lecture on Ireland which has him assert that the Church is the cause of Ireland's degradation. He wonders if it should be answered or explained, lest it create erroneous impressions. He remembers the real statement of the Bishop's lecture. Had the people of Ireland, like those of Scotland, forsaken the faith from a temporal point of view they would have prospered. Perhaps the article is not more unjust than the majority of Protestant writings on the subject but he cannot understand why the editors did what they did. He saw Mr. Guth, Christmas, who had received a letter from McFarland. They had a large congregation that day. There has been an increase in interest and attendance especially among the French. :: I-1-a A.L.S. 2pp. 4to.
