The English-speaking Race and Roman Catholicism.
—Canon Moyes in the Daily Mail Year Book of the Churches gives the following statistics of the numerical strength of Roman Catholicism in the British Empire and America. In the British Empire there are 140 bishops, 13,000 clergy, 12,000,000 people, and, adding the United States, we have 230 bishops, 30,000 clergy, and 24,000,000 people for the English-speaking race. This, according to Canon Moyes, gives us more than a fifth of the entire Roman Catholic Episcopate, and about a tenth of the entire Roman Catholic people among the English-speaking race.
Spanish Emancipation.—Is not yet. The expectations of tolerance resulting from the influence of Queen Ema are being disappointed. A reaction in favour of clericalism is operating. A change of political ministers has brought about Vatican supremacy. Many of the Religious Orders from France have settled in Spain, where once again the laws are being administered at the advice of the priests, and civil liberty and, of course, the activities of Evangelical missionaries are being curtailed.—Bukwark.
