In the death of Reverend Thomas Gavan Duffy in Tindivanan, India, early last month, the Church has lost a missionary priest whose apostolic efforts covered a wide range and were blessed with remarkable success. He was a hard and zealous worker, who was practical as well as far-seeing, and to him is due in great measure the development of the successful Catholic missionary technique now in vogue in the greater part of India. He was also the author of a number of books and monographs which have become classics in the field of missiology.
Father Gavan Duffy was a native of Ireland, closely related to the great Irish leader, Charles Gavan Duffy, one of the founders of The Nation, who later went to Australia where his great political and literary ability made him a leader in public affairs.

THE MISSIONARY.
Ye who declaim in centres large and populous,
Who write of wisdom deep and the home polity,
Who don the mantle or assume the toga of
The sainted Thomas or pagan Demosthenes,
Hark to the gently artless word by one addressed
Who bears no crown of bay nor wrote a schoolman's theme,
But in the uncloistered world afar has fought amain
For souls who tread the path that leads to unbelief.
Far westward where the cold Pacific loudly beats
Against the rock-bound cliff, the lonely pastor guides
His scattered flock; through many a deep canyon he seeks,
Through the dark redwood glades he drives, to meet rebuff;
Through fog, in cold, through rain, in heat, o'er the lost trail
His duty is the Host to bear to the rude shack;
His love the smiling pagan child of Faith bereft
By vacillating forbears weakly sold for pelf.
How meagre is his fare, his garb how worn and thin,
Poor is his home, his fire is low, his meal he begs;
Yet as the south wind sobs ringing the bell off-shore
He hears the call to choir of old at midnight toll:
Thus is he one again with those who Matins chant
In havens calm, 'mid holy peace of common prayer,
With pious youths in ancient Cork by famed Loch Mahon
Or nigh the seagirt shrine of well-loved Donegal.
Ye learned ones who strive throughout the fleeting years
To plumb the vasty depths of Aquin's mighty lore,
Who weigh the laws, who bind the bay unto your brows,
Can ye adjudge when all is won, when life is done.
For whom has the Master planned the worthier palm?
For ye has been the pæan, the adulating throng;
For him the sinful wanderer's prayer, the solaced soul;
Wisdom divine with justice fair shall 'ward the crown.
—Urban Riordan, O.M.Cap.

HE CAID MOURNS HER DEAD ARCHBISHOP
The Trainer, Melbourne,
July 13, 1934.
Moving Panegyric by Dr. Mannix at Solemn Obsequies
"A GIANT TREE HAS BEEN UPROOTED"
After lying in state for three days at St. Francis Xavier's Cathedral at Adelaide, the body of the late Archbishop Killian, whose death we announced last week, was borne to the grave at West Terrace Cemetery last Wednesday. The Pontifical Requiem at the Cathedral was attended by three Archbishops and representatives of the Hierarchy and clergy of Australia, together with leaders of the State of South Australia and many distinguished members of the laity. A huge throng of people, non-Catholic and catholic, was present at the Cathedral, and lined the streets to pay homage to the memory of the beloved Archbishop. In the panegyric, delivered at the close of the Requiem, Archbishop Mannix spoke eloquently of the splendid career and noble virtues of the late Archbishop, and the tremendous loss suffered through his death by the Church in Australia.
THE solemn obsequies of the late Archbishop Killian, of Adelaide, took place on Wednesday of last week in his Cathedral city, to which his remains had been brought on the previous Sunday, and where they had since lain in state at St. Francis Xavier's Cathedral. The tribute of homage paid to the dead prelate was a straking testimony of the love generally felt for his over whom he ruled. Thousands of mourners, amongst them people who did not subscribe to the faith that he confessed and defended, straped of the open coffin in the chapel of St. Francis Xavier: men and women of the workshops and the offices, folk of many avocations in life, with, here and there, some who who can find no place of business in the busy world—old and young, the poor and the well-to-do—all paused in sorrow beside the earthly temple that had housed the great soul of Andrew Killian.
THE OFFICE FOR THE DEAD.
Solemn Obsequies for the Dead was recited on Tuesday evening at the Cathedral, when Archbishop Prendiville, of Perth, presided.
On Wedness for the Pontifical Requiem Mass for the repose of the soul of the late Archbishop was begun at 10 a.m.

PANEGYRIC BY ARCHBISHOP MANNIX.
An Irishman Dr. Mannix, Archbishop of Melbourne, in a moving tribute delivered to the dead Archbishop at the conclusion of the Requiem Mass, said:
The prayers and supplications of the Bishops, priests, and people are earnestly requested for the eternal repose of the soul of Andrew Killian, whose unexpected and untimely death has unexpected and see of Adelaide vacant and has brought sorrow not merely to Adelaide, but to the whole Commonwealth of Australia.
"Later on, at this Cathedral, Mind, to be held in this Cathedral, justice will be done to the life and achievements of the late Archbishop. To-day we have come not to praise him, but rather to respond to the mute appeal that comes from the dark silence of the catafalque where he says to us: 'Have pity on me, have pity on me, at least you my friends, because the hand of the Lord hath touched me.'
"We have come, as I say, not to speak his praises, though they well up in the hearts of us all. We come to pray for the eternal repose of his gentle soul. We come to offer our sympathy, in the first place, to his own relatives, to whom he was so much attached, his relatives in Australia and in the old land that gave him birth, and to his relatives who are scattered, perhaps, over the seats; we come to offer them our sympathy and join with them in their prayer.

COMMODORE JOHN BARRY
BI-CENTENARY OF HIS BIRTH.
FORMATION OF ASSOCIATION IN WEXFORD.
There was a representative attendance at a meeting held in the Town Hall, Wexford, on Tuesday to form the Commodore John Barry Association to arrange for co-operation with the American Government in the reception and erection of a statue of Commodore Barry, which that Government is providing at a cost of 20,000 dollars, for presentation to Eire in honour of the bi-centenary in 1945 of the Commodore's birth. Commodore Barry, who was founder of the American Navy, was born in Ballysampson, Co. Wexford.
Dr. James Pierse, Wexford, presided. Following a discussion, it was decided on the proposition of Mr. R. G. Walsh, solr., seconded by Mr. J. L. Esmonde, T.D., to form the association.
On the proposition of Mr. T. D. Sinnott, Co. Commissioner, seconded by ex-Senator Miss Kathleen Browne, His Lordship Most Rev. Dr. Staunton, Bishop of Ferns, was unanimously elected president. Miss Browne, Very Rev. P. Murphy, P.P., Glynn, and Ald. R. Corish, T.D., Mayor, were elected vice-presidents. Dr. Thomas Pierse, M.O., Wexford, was elected chairman on the proposition of Mr. W. V. Stafford, seconded by Mr. T. D. Sinnott. Messrs. M. Kavanagh, solr., and John English, Wexford, consented to act as hon. secs.
Several suggestions were made regarding the scope of the association in conjunction with Wexford and other Irish organisations at home and in the United States. Amongst the suggestions discussed was one put forward some years ago by the late Very Rev. T. O'Byrne, P.P., Piercestown, that if funds could be procured a fitting memorial would be a National College at Carne.
A letter received from Ald R. Corish, T.D., Mayor of Wexford, stated that owing to being engaged in the Dail on Tuesday it was impossible for him to attend the meeting, but as he had taken a great interest in the proposed memorial he would be glad to act on any committee appointed. The letter also stated that the Corporation were endeavouring to provide a public park in the town, and that the work on the site would be paid for by an unemployment relief grant, but the land would have to be paid for out of the Corporation funds. In view of that, he suggested that the meeting should consider the possibility of some of the money available to the association being used to purchase land and amenities for the park, which could be called the "Barry Memorial Park," and have a statue or plaque installed in it.
Mr. John Keating, T.D., wrote stating that owing to the sitting of the Dail on Tuesday he was unable to attend the meeting, but he wished the project every success.
Dr. J. Ryan, Minister for Agriculture, wrote: "I am sorry I cannot be present, though I need hardly say that I wish you and your committee every success in the project."
Rev. Fr. Senan, O.F.M. Cap., Church St., Dublin, wrote promising whole-hearted support, and stating that the Father of the American Navy was well deserving of commendation in Ireland, as in these days we should lose no opportunity of stressing the friendship that always existed, and still exists, between Ireland and the U.S.A.
The following were appointed on the general committee: Very Rev. Canon Furlong, P.P., V.F.; Very Rev. Canon Harpur, P.P., V.F.; Very Rev. Archdeacon Cloney, P.P.; Very Rev. D. Quigley, P.P.; Very Rev. P. Murphy, P.P.; Very Rev. M. O'Byrne, P.P.; Very Rev. M. Newcombe, P.P.; Very Rev. J. Sinnott, P.P.; Very Rev. R. Pickey, President, St. Peter's College; Rev. G. J. Murphy, Adm.; Rev. J. Codd, Adm.; Rev. R. Walsh, M.S.S.; Rev. J. Ranson, C.C., hon. sec., Hykinsella Historical Society; Rev. Fr. Senan, O.F.M.Cap.; ex-Senator Miss K. Browne, Miss N. O'Ryan, M.C.C.; Dr. J. Ryan, Minister for Agriculture; Messrs. John Keating, T.D.; John Esmonde, T.D.; D. Allen, T.D.; Ald. R. Corish, T.D.; Dr. T. Pierse, Ven. Archdeacon Willis, Rev. Canon Hazley, Dr. J. A. Pierse, Messrs. F. M. O'Connor, solr.; John Elgee, solr.; R. G. Walsh, solr.; T. P. Walsh, solr.; J. J. Bolger, solr.; J. V. Fahy, D.J.; M. Dwyer, Co. Registrar; T. D. Sinnott, Co. Continuisioner; N. J. Frizelle, Sec. Co. Council; John Bennett, W. K. Stamp, W. M. Corcoran, R. Hanton, J. E. Walsh, M.C.C.; W. V. Stafford P. B. Pierce, P. B. Hegarty, W. A. Doyle, M.

A FORGOTTEN ULSTER NOVELIST
BETWEEN a luridly modern Savi and a swash-buckling Sabatini it stood sturdily, a fat little volume, on the Library shelf. No colourful jacket on it, nor alluring publisher's blurb to entice a reader—just its simple title, "The Old House By the Boyne," and its author's name, "Sadlier." A very Cinderalla of a book. But it proved brimful of romance; the caprice of the sea and the tangled threads of the loom of Destiny all skilfully woven in the tapestries of a delightful tale. It is a story—none of the stark realism, nor the ugly pagan modernity and crude vulgarity that the critics of the present day hail as literature.
"When the ceremonies of religion were proscribed by law in the northern province, and the poverty to which Ulster Catholics were reduced
By Roisin Donn Byrne
left them only thatched cabins wherein to worship God, the ritual of the Church was still carried out within the walls of Drogheda and thither as on pilgrimage, went the northern Catholics year by year at Paschal time to witness the religious solemnities they might never see at home. Drogheda was in these days the Rome of Ulster, and happy were they who from Cavan, Monaghan, Fermanagh or Armagh could go to spend Holy Week in Drogheda.
THIS description of Drogheda of more than a hundred years ago arouses curiosity concerning the author, and we find that Mrs. James Sadlier was an Ulster, woman—Mary Anne Madden—born on the last day of the year 1820 in the town of Cootehill in County Cavan. Her career in the world of journalism was as romantic as any modern girl could wish. At the age of eighteen the little country girl, whose writings were to become so well known in the Continent of North America, was contributing articles and stories, and poems to a London magazine, "La Belle Assemblee." Her father was an upright and respected shopkeeper, but the bad paratic of the eighteen-forty attendant worries and the pecuniary difficulties in which he found himself soon hastened his deaths. A few short weeks later, in August, 1844, Mary Anne and her young brother emigrated to Canada.
Her urge to write was further stimulated by her residence in Montreal, and soon contributed by were appearing over her name in "The Literary Garland." a monthly periodical of that city. There attracted the notice of James Sadlier, junior partner of the Catholic publishing firm, D and J. Sadlier and Co., who lost no time in making the personal evident that of the young Irish writer. It is Anne Madden was not confined to her literary style,
for, after what must have been a whirlwind courtship, she became his wife in 1846.
DURING the 23 years of her married life—and she made a happy, successful business of marriage and the managing of her large family—she wrote assiduously facility from her pen. With seemed to pour with facility from her birth, the nostrolgia of the exile for the land of her country, she depicts the island-studded Erne, the historical Blackwater, the lovely vale of the Boyne, and the noble sweep of Galway Bay in the crescent of the blue hills of Clare. She wrote with the moral and religious well-being of her fellow-Catholics in view at a time when there was a strong anti-Irish and anti-Catholic feeling sweeping through America. She was connected one way or another with such prominent Catholic journals as the New York "Tablet." and the Boston "Pilot," the Montreal "True Witness," and the New York "Freeman's Journal." On the publication of her novel, "The Blakes and the Flanagans," the Bishop of Toronto, Dr. de Charbonnel, declared that "it volumes she produced, the "Confederate Chieftains" is the most vivid and brilliant little short of a masterpiece.
SUCH Irish Catholic writers as Thomas Moore, John Banim and Gerald Griffin had already made names for themselves in London. Thomas D'Arcy M'Gee had done likewise in the United States, and hailing as he did from the neighbouring county of Louth, became one of Mrs. Sadlier's best friends, an association which lasted until his untimely death in 1867, and, in addition to her own work, she found time to edit his "Poems," and write a "Biographical Sketch of M'Gee."
There is a flavouring of Sir Walter Scott about Mrs. Sadlier's ballads, and, doubtless, she was influenced by that great historical author, at the height of his fame when she was a young girl in the Ulster. Like her predecessor—Maria Edgeworth—she writes of Irish life and character, but with a rich imagination, extensive erudition, and with a kindly understanding of her own Catholic class. Her great contemporaries in England—and the nineteenth century produced a remarkable number of literary giants—had nothing to teach her. Her fecundity created a whole world of types and persons. The Brontes, and Jane Austen, then carving their niches in the Hall of Fame, write of the England of their own restricted scope and social intercourse. Mary Anne Evans, better known by her nom-de-plume of "George Eliot," had wider experiences and gave the novel its modern form; Harriet Beecher Stowe, in the United States, wielded her pen like a crusader's lance in the cause of the American Negro slaves. World-famous women novelists all, remarkable also in the fact that they lived in the same half-century, and Mrs. Sadlier, as Ireland's contribution to the little band of women writers of that period, is an author to be proud of, and to merit the attention of her compatriots.
