80,000 by 17 and you will see that we have spent on. a system of education from which we derivs no benefit and from which we cannot conscientiously derive any benefit, £136,000. jNot cnly have we been obliged to contribute this enormous sum of money for the, education of other people's children, but we have had to educate our own ; i and estimating the cost at a little more than half the amount paid for Govern ment education— bpcause we can edu cate our children at about half the cost—and if justice and equity were | respected and allowed as m . England, • Ireland, Scotland, and other place?, I and we had a portion of the rates which ! ■we pay, it would be a great saving of money. Well, make this allowance, and say that we are educating our children at little more thap half—about £2 per head. That will make £22,000 ft year or £374,000. In other words, since the present godless system has come into force we have paid £136,000 for the training of pupils m the State schools, and £374,000 for educating pur own children m our own schools, making a total of £1,500,000, besides the cost of erecting, and furnishing, and repairing, and paying the taxation on our schools. 3f this is not cruel in justice, not oppression, then I don't know what injustice or oppression means, Now, if we add to this the cost of sites, if we had the erection of school buildings, the amount of money paid by the Catholics of this colony for education would not fall short of £2,000,000. I have been very careful m compiling all these figures. Ts not this truly suffering for justice and conscience sake ? Are you not to be admired for the noble, the divine stand which yoj take? Are you not imitating the noble people of the land from which you came. You treasure the fttith of your fathers and you know it is an inestimable gift, a precious in heritance which, if you have nothing else, is worth millions of worlds. And these children, if you give them that faith and that treasure it will be a source of comfort and strength, a con solation for all time, and a source of glory throughout eternity. This is why you take the noble stand you do. "Sou will not barter your faith for a miserable mess of pottage such as wealth, honors, dignities, positions of any kind. No, if you have nothing else but your faith to give them you have given them that which is greater far than all the world besides. God himself tells us this. And this is why •we cannot logically, consistently, send our children to these godless schools; and this is why we make the efforts we are making m this cause. 1 his is the keynote to the devotedn*ss of these holy women who have left their homes and consecrated themselves to God for whpt'2 They will forgive me when I say it, but I must tell you what I said to their devoted pastor when I first came to visit the convent. It was poverty, it was bordering on misery, more than poverty for themselves. What were they doing this for ? They left their homes, their friends, and their country for these dear children to teach them to love Je?us Christ, and m giving them that which is a million times more than anything on earth. They have made their sacrifice for this : they have consecrated their souls I with their faculties, their bodies with their senses, and devoted themselves to transmitting these inestimable treasures to the children. They realise the glory of the work of education. Persons sending their children to our schools -— both Protestants and Catholics — do so because they object to placing their children m the irreligious atmosphere of schools where God is put aside. This is the reason why we cannot send our children there, and this is the great fact which gives rise to such admiration : that we stand so much, maks such sacrifices. You are alive to the interests of your dear children. And you know that education or instruction without morality is rather a curse than a blessing. A great statesman, Wash ington, indeed several statesmen — Lord Derby, who was Prime Minister of England ; Guizott, the great stateman m France, all these men Protestants— said what amounted to what I have said v Do away with religion, and you do away with morality" Without religion you cannot have any true, solid foundation for education. A great English statesman said a few years ago " Religion is not a thing apart from education, it must be inter woven with it. It must be the principle which controls and regulates all actions." Is this to be put aside, the sap, the foundation of morality : for all must admit that religion is the foundation of morality ; and this is why I say that without it there can be no true morality. For what is morality depended upon ? The relation existing between the creature and the creator, between God and us. ]f you do away with this, what basis can you have it upon 1 There is none, xind is it not a terrible fact that—parents have said it to me m this colony— their children have been instructed and have grown up, if not igno rant of religion and treating it with contempt, at least despising its teachings ? God forbid that I should be an evil prophet or be a pessimist, but I foresee sad days for this colony if the present system were allowed to go on, if it were not that even m the state schools there are men and women who are superior to a system which is bad. They are above it, and they act as a kind of breakwater, stemming the tide of infidelity which must of neces sity enter and make ravages m these children's minds, We are here to-day to invoke the Holy spirit, as we did m the beautiful prayers of the liturgy, to come and bless that home, to bless those who are there and who will be there, to ward from them all evil, to care for them and make them just, make them obedient, make them humble. Humility is the word wbjcb twice sirucl? m§ as we were singing the prayers today. What |a the great problem so hard to be solved ? Subjec tion, If each one could please him self all would rule. In the Catholic schools the children are taught to think themselves humble, and if they wish to get to heaven they must be obedient children. " Unless you become as a little child you cannot enter' into the kingdom of heaven.'' I' have m my hand a review which is little known m £his colony. It is edited by one who was a clergyman of the Church of j£agland, and some time ago became a

Catholic. For long years ho wrote m fa> or of ChnVtian education, and I suppose there is no writer m the United States who Aviolds dio pen so well as this writer does. In a short pithy article entitled " Where are we going to," he gives th< se facts :—"ln the year 1892, m the United States, there were 7357 murders, 236 persons lynched, 3860 suicides, 82,000 persons m gaol, between forty and fifty thousand persons divorced, 17,457 in sane persons m the state of New York alone, or about 500,000 m the whole of the United States. In the same year there were 100,000,000 dollars wasted m drunkenness. Then there were some alarming numbers of in fanticides and fceticfde's, such wide spread and barefaced robberies, and every species of fraud and injustice that one is obliged to define the public conscience as a sink hole of infamous and nameless iniquity." In the last census he says—"more than 40,000,000 of American citizens answered as be longing to no church. This kind of thing is the natural result of public schools without God." He wants to know how this is to be remedied, and first, he says, m the true religion taught m the Catholic schools and elsewhere. There is a n-.an experienced m the things of his country and his people, and he deplores the fact of in struction without religion, and he is right. This is why, then, we are making the efforts that w*» do, and I congratulate you again, for you have done right towards God m this divine work. The sacrifice is hard no doubt. Tt is hard indeed, and none feel it more than we, your bishops and pas tors, that we should be obliged to urge you. If we were neglectful of our duty we might say -'• You let your children go to the State schools." They are not numerous enough if we would. But even if we could, we know that we must point out to you what you must point out to your children—their duty towards God and the interests of their immortal souls, the interests of the State at large of which they will become ornaments, citizens who are true Christians. If Christianity is takpn away what authority is there that you should obey the laws. The sacrifice may be great, your efforts may be even painful, at the cost of thus educating your children, but the day will come when you will look back upon all you have done and say to your selves. " Though it seemed to be much it was little, because I know now that I received the reward, that these my dear children will become for me m heaven what they were on earth, a portiop of my glory for time and for eternity. " Suffer little children to come unto Me and forbid them not, for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven."

At Vespers and Benediction His Lordship preached, his subject being the love of Grod to man as evidenced m the Blessed Sacrament.

ASHBURTON MARKETS.

Mr David Thomas reports .upon the live stock market for the week ending November 20, as follows .- -On Tuesday, at the Aahbnr ton yards the usual slock sale was held. The attendance was good, but buyers were not keen on purchasing, therefore the sale was rather a draging one. The entry was not a large one, consisting chiefly of ewes and lambs and shorn hoggets. Fat sheep sold fairly well, bub ewes and lambs and hoggets were not m demand, therefore several lines were passed out unsold, but were sold privately after the sale. The total for the day's yards consisted of 3607 sheep, 24 cattl«, and 6 pigs, of which my entry comprised 2449 sheep, 4 cattle, whioh I sold at the following prices, viz :—73 fat merino ewes 43 6d, 27 shorn fat merino ewes 63 Id, 25 shorn fat merino ewes 63, 31 fafc shorn two-tooth crossbred ewes Us lOd, 29 fat shorn two-tooth crossbred ewes 10s lid, 25 merino ewes 2s Bd, 42 shorn hoggets 63 4d, 70 merino ewes and lambs (all counted) 6s 2d, 58 shorn hoggets 7s, 336 shorn hoggets 83 4d, 303 first cross hoggets 93 Bd, 13 hoggets 6s 9d, 136 two-tooth crossbred ewes, 130 lambs 15s 7d, 257 crossbred ewes, 230 lambs lls, 250 merino ewes, 250, lambs 7s lid, 54 mixed sheep 4s, 82 hoggets 9s 3d, 16 two-tooth crossbreds Bs, 18 ewes and lambs 6s 3d.

THE COREAN WAR

Shanghai, November 22 The bodies of the Chinese killed m the war are carried away along with those of the Japanese. November 24. Telegrams from Che For>, '"'under Friday's date, state that Port Arthur' was captured by the Japanese on Wed- j nesday, after a severe engagement last ing eighteen hours. The capture of Port Arthur is con firmed. While the torpedo boats m the harbour distracted the attention of the garrison, the latter was assaulted by the t/iipanese. The Chinese foughfc gallantly, and as they refused to give quarter, the Japanese lost heavily. The Japanese fleet was scarcely used m the attack. The Chinese warships, including four of the first class, we^e seized m an endeavour to leave the port and it is belipved that the naval power of China has been completely broken. November 25. ' The Japanese attacked Port Arthur early m the morning with tremendous cannonading. All the forts were cap tured m succession, and finally the earthworks were carried.

Xtcmurkalt « .Phenomena

Received November 26, 10 40 a m. Sydney, November 26 Further details of the eruption at Ambrym, m the New Hebrides, show that one of the most remarkable disfcuroances recorded m the south seas is the flow of molfc*Mi lava which came on, filling up valleys m vs course towards the sea. "The rush and roar became louder every moment, and now and then, amidst the dense smoke caused by the lava setting fire to everything, would arise a volume of steam as it rushed into streams. It travelled several miles before reaching the sea, and completely swept a cliff' away for a width of thirty yards, and poured into the ocean with a tremend ous roar and hissing noise. When the glowing mass touched, the water an immense volume of sfeam arose to a height which the officers of the Dart measured as four thousand feet, and the sea boiled furiously, so that the man-of-war had to m<>ve out of reach. The continual fall of volcanic dust and other debris is still going on, and is completely covering everything. It is feared ths natives will be reduced to starvation by the destruction of their crops. Should the fall continue much longer all vegetation will be killed from its effects. During the night shock after shock of earthquake occurred, some very violent, causing a sickly sensation amongst the crew. From Port Sandwich, twelve miles distant, Ambrym looks like an island covered with snow. When the erup tion bes»an the natives were terror stricken, 'men, women, and children fleeing for their lives.

I ha^e just received supplios-of the New Model Dutton MOWER KNIFE GBINDEK. r. "KEEP THE KNIVES SHARP," Is what every manufacturer of mowers directs, With, this grinder it can easi'y be done. With a dull knife, the wear and strain, both on machine' and team, are greatly increased, and the grass will be badly cut. A man, or even a,boy, with, this machine, can grind a mower knife perfectly, and with ease and rapidity. When a 'section is dulled or nicked by coming m ccntact with a stone, as often happens, it can be sharpened without grinding the other sections,. , THE "CORUNDUM GRINDING WHEH3L" " . does its work well, it wears but little, and will last, according to the Amount of -work done, from three to five years, and probably longer. There is a large hole m the centre of the wheel, made water tisrht by the flanges which clamp the wheel and hold it m position. When the machine is used this hollow space is filled with water through a small hole m the side of one of its flanges; the hole is then plugged up. When turning the wheel m grinding, the water is driven through ita pores by centiifugal force, compleely 1 wetting it 8. ; grinding surface. This prevents the temper of the knife from being destroyed, which would be done if the wheel weie used dry. THE OPERATOR . . while grinding a knife, stands facing the side of the wheel and over the knife clamp. This brings the grinding of the section directly under the eye. By means of a new improve ment the grinder can be readily clamped to a pole or the rim of any wheel having & width of from 3to s|inches. It requires but little skill to use this grinder; the directions sent with each machine will, if followed, enable anyone to work it without trouble. These machines are protected fully by patents m the United Stateß, Canada, Great Britain, Prance, Belgium, and Sweden .
