Killamey some memorial of its beautiful Arbutus 
trees. 
We hâve beeu led to Ireland, and our thoughts 
naturally dwell on the protracted struggle which truth 
has there maintained with error. Painfully do we 
muse on persécutions to which the faithful hâve been 
subjected, and on deeds of horror which the sword of 
fanaticism has worked. The religious aspect of Ire¬ 
land is now most interesting. Long has darkness 
brooded over this fair island, and light has glim- 
mered but as the distant star. The dawn of morn- 
ing, however, begins to be discernible. May it “ shine 
more and more unto the perfect day.” Be this our 
prayer for Ireland ! Then, children of one govern- 
ment, we shall be subject also to the same spiritual 
rule, brethren in love and in faith, in time and in 
eternity !
