Excerpt from An Irish Shrine of the Madonna and Bective Abbey In the Pastoral Letter of His Eminence Cardinal Logue for Lent, 1902, we find the following: - "A great work is being done by the Catholic Truth Society of Ireland for furnishing the people with such reading as will deprive them of all excuse for resorting to the poisoned sources from which so many were wont to imbibe an irreligious, sensual, and often corrupting draught. Their efforts merit and should receive every support. Whenever I see in a church the well-known box destined for the distribution of their publications, I take it as a clear proof of the pastor's zeal for the best interests of his people." In the Lenten Regulations for the Diocese of Dublin, 1903, His Grace the Archbishop writes: - " The work of the Catholic Truth Society [Ireland], now so firmly established and happily so successful throughout the diocese, is deserving of every encouragement from both clergy and laity." "It is well known," writes His Grace the Archbishop of Tuam, "that various printing presses in Great Britain daily pour out a flood of infidel and immoral publications, some of which overflows to this country. We have a confident hope that the Society's [C. T. S. I.] publications will remove the temptation of having recourse to such filthy garbage, will create a taste for pure and wholesome literature, and will also serve as an antidote against the poison of dangerous or immoral writings." "Allow me, dearly beloved," writes Dr. Fennelly, Archbishop of Cashel, in his Lenten Pastoral, 1903, " before concluding, to say something in favour of the Catholic Truth Society, which as been got up for the purpose of counteracting a growing taste amongst our people for an overflow of filthy literature from England and other countries. Its publications are racy of the soil; are very varied in point of subject; and, as far as I can judge, are, in many instances, of high literary merit.
