Dublin—In spite of the opposition
provoked some twelve months ago,'
when the removal of the Nelson Pil
lar, in the center of O’Connell Street,
was suggested, it would appear that
the proposal is about to assume a
definite shape.
The Dublin City Commissioners (a
committee of three who temporarily
exercise the functions of the Munici
pal Corporation disbanded for cor
ruption), have included in their es
timates for the year 1926-27 an item

(By N, C. W. C. News Service)
' Paris.—“Lcs Annales de Lisieux,”
have just published the text of an
admirable letter written by Cardi
nal Mcijeicr on December 8 last to
Mother Agnes, sister of the Little
Flower afid Prioress of the Carmel
of Lisieux,
On that day the Cardinal had un
dergone a radiographic examination
and had learned from the physi
cians the desperate gravity of his
condition. That evening he told his
intimates that lie had been able to
make a worth while offering to the
Blessed Virgin.
The following letter is a page of
deeply stirring beauty: •
"... Today the doctors have
revealed to me that 1 have a tumor
of the stomach. In the depths of
my soul 1 thank God for having
something to offer Him through Our
Lady of Sorrows and with all my
heart I have said my Magnificat in
union with that of my Mother in
Heaven. Since I have been suffer
ing I have never believed that 1
should ask for my recovery. I aban
don myself lo Divine Providence,
and ask but one thing, that Provi
dence draw from poor me ail the
glory it can, at any price. Never
theless, on November 15 last, when
I went to give Benediction for the
Carmelites of Brussels in honor of
your dear Little Saint, the thought
suddenly came to me, just as 1 was
crossing the threshold of the church,
to have recourse t 0 her. Upon
reaching my priedieu, I asked my
self whether l should implore my
recovery. I did not then know the
gravity of my affliction, hut fore
seeing the eventuality thereof I did
not dare do so. I made a condi
tional request which resolved itself
into an act of abandon.
Trans-Atlantic Flight Plan
(By N. C. W. C. News Service)
Dublin—GeneraJ regret is felt at
the unlooked-for announcement that
the trans-Atlantic flight from Clif-
den, Galway County, to America is
not to take place. One of the rea
sons given is that the experiment
should receive more mature consid
eration, in view of the influence
which it would have on the develop
ment of air traffic across the ocean.
Aerial development on a big scale be
tween Europe and America is re
garded as one of the approaching
certainties, and Ireland must he the
natural gateway of such transit. Any
blundering effort in the initial stage
might only retard matters by damp
ing public zest.
Nevertheless Colonel Russell
who was to have been one of the
pilots does not conceal his disap
pointment. in consultation with
noted airmen be had arranged most
of the details and chosen the type
of machine. The Free State authori
ties called a halt, partly for the rea
sons mentioned and partly on the
ground of expense.
Hartford Auxiliary
Bishop McAuliffe Consecrat
ed by Bishop Nilan
“1 have under way several works
which I should certainly like to pur
sue for the glory of God and for
my clergy. But is not the personal
sacrifice still the best way to serve
divine glory and interests? God
does not need any one of us.
“I believe therefore that 1 am
right in keeping to my attitude of
abandon. But I do not believe I am
departing from it in begging you
to question your Little Sister to
know what is best and in asking
.you to take my place in asking her
Ihis.”

ting setting for the sociability that
was evident amongst the merrymak
ers.

reputation as purveyors of really
good dance music, and the special
program of entertainment included
a song recital liy Miss Helen Flana
gan of the Miami Conservatory of
Music, accompanied by lime. Gratini,
internationally known pianist. Novel
ty acts by members of the orchesti a

more Utan 400 Catholic children at
the big orphanage and school of the

says for his charges, together with
a series of instructions following

gratifying results.

services for the students. Accord

Muldoon of Rockford, Father laffey
began his broadcasting At first
there was Low Mass only, but with

High Mass has been said occasional^

a course on the Sacrament and ex
planations of the Mass and (he Gos

letters. Many come from hospitals,
where patients have been especial
ly grateful, and several from the
blind, who call the radio Mass their
