Lectures and sermons . ill is going to pass,and some tyrant is going to trample upon the old nation. Ifthe Irishman knows the position of his countrymen in America,he will say, Hold on, my friend ; dont begin until you get adispatch from Washington. Hold on, my friend; there areIrish Senators in the great Senate ; there are Irish Congressmenin the great Congress ; there are Irishmen in the Cabinet; thereare Irishmen behind the guns ; there are Irishmen writing outpolitical warnings and protocols; there are Irish Ambassadorsat the foreign courts ; learn what they have to say before youtrample upon us. This is what I mean when I speak of whatyou can do for your mother-land, and what Ireland hopes andexpects from you. And now, my friends, you know that, whatever way a priestmay begin his lecture, when he goes through it he always endswith a kind of exhortation. In the name of God let us makea resolution here to-night to be all that I have described to you—all an Irishman ought be—and leave the rest to THE CATHOLIC CHURCH THE TRUEREGENERATOR OF SOCIETY.
