We would also request their Lordships the Bishops to be kind enough to appoint in each of their dioceses a member of their clergy who would have the charge of centralising the work and making it known, and who would enjoy the spiritual favours of the Sovereign Pontiff, who has ever been the protector and father of Poland. To every Catholic, to whatever country he may belong, this work is a question of honour, a protestation of the civilised world against barbarity. Out of France we firmly hope our work will meet with deep sympathy, similar associations will be formed, and regular communications established between them. May the blessed Virgin, Patroness of Poland, bless and second our efforts. All communications and donations intended for the "Work of Catholicism in Poland" to be addressed to the Rev. Father Perraud, Priest of the Oratory, Director General of the Work, 44 Rue du Regard, Paris. French and foreign newspapers favourable to Poland are requested to publish this act of foundation of the "Work of Catholicism in Poland". _Letter to the Archbishop of Dublin from the Director-General of the Association._ "Paris, 20th December, 1864, "My Lord Archbishop, "The work, the plan of which we lay before you to-day, is one which recommends itself to your zeal and your love for the Church. "The touching words of the Sovereign Pontiff have stirred us to lend assistance to martyred Poland. May the Church of Ireland second the Church of France in this endeavour, which is so noble, and, at this moment, so necessary. "I venture to unite my humble voice with that of the pious prelate and of the eminent men who are at the head of this work, in the hope that the bishops and priests of Ireland will listen with favour to an appeal on behalf of a persecuted church and nation. Accept, my Lord, the expression of profound respect and lively gratitude with which I am, "Your most devoted humble Servant, "ADOLPHE PERRAUD, "Director-General of the Work". LITURGICAL QUESTIONS.
