Сторінка 15 - He read and explained the gospel of the day, which proclaims the startling announcement that it is more difficult for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven than for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle.
Сторінка 481 - This is but a complimentary notice to a distinguished man just arrived among us, and well does he merit it. He is a stranger to us personally, but he has won a world-wide renown. He comes among us upon a mission of benevolence, not unlike Howard, whose name and deeds rank high in the annals of philanthropy, and who sought to carry hope and comfort into the darkest cells, and to alleviate the moral and physical condition of their unhappy tenants. He comes to break the bonds of the captive, and to...
Сторінка 463 - Glory be to God on high, and on earth peace to men of good will. We praise thee; we bless thee; we adore thee; we glorify thee. We give thee thanks for thy great glory, O Lord God, heavenly king, God the Father almighty.
Сторінка 381 - I tried to give her hope of English aid, but, alas ! her prophecy has been but too true. Out of a population of 240, I found 13 already dead from want. The survivors were like walking skeletons ; the men stamped with the livid mark of hunger ; the children crying with pain ; the women in some of the cabins too weak to stand.

Сторінка 383 - The hunger is upon us," was everywhere the cry, and involuntarily we found ourselves regarding this hunger as we should an epidemic; looking upon starvation as a disease. In fact, as we went along, our wonder was not that the people died, but that they lived; and I have no doubt whatever that, in any other country, the mortality would have been far greater; that many lives have been prolonged, perhaps saved, by the long apprenticeship to want in which the Irish peasant has been trained, and by that...
Сторінка 366 - ... badly housed, badly fed, badly clothed, and badly paid for his labour. Our personal experience and observations during our inquiry have afforded us a melancholy confirmation of these statements; and we cannot forbear expressing our strong sense of the patient endurance which the labouring classes have generally exhibited under sufferings greater, we believe, than the people of any other country in Europe have to sustain.
Сторінка 414 - O'Connell all the more when O'Connell boasted and proved that he could drive a coach and six through any Act of Parliament.
Сторінка 369 - Judging from the evidence thus collected and from what we have seen of the progress of the disease in England, we can come to no other conclusion than that one half of the actual potato crop of Ireland is either destroyed or remains in a state unfit for the food of man. We, moreover, feel it our duty to apprise you that we fear this to be a low estimate.
Сторінка 469 - I have as much as I can do to save men from the slavery of intemperance, without attempting the overthrow of any other kind of slavery ! Besides, it would not be proper for me to commit myself on a question like this, under present circumstances. I am a Catholic priest; but, being here to promote the cause of temperance, I should not be justified in turning aside from my mission for the purpose of subserving the cause of Catholicism.
