THE EXAMINER.

who created this last best gem of earth, shining through |of education. But as yet they have really done nothing,

this his fairest creation.

THE JESUITS.

The following extract from the October number of| Brownson’s Quarterly Review, will be found particularly: interesting at the present time, when the children of St. | Ignatius are persecuted. When the devil, and the| world betimes, even urged on by the hastiness of impru- | dent friends, are up in arms against them, we love to! read words like these. | “Everybody knows the popular meaning attached to! Jesuitical. ‘Taking the word in this meaning, there are, no men so little Jesuitical as the Jesuits. Their whole) history proves them to be remarkable for their simplici-! ty of heart, singleness of purpose, and straight-forward- ness of conduct. No man can take up a work in de-

fence of the Order, written by a member, without being| corner of Dorchester and Queen’s Streets, where he has

fully convinced that the Jesuit is the antithesis of the | character commonly ascribed to him. We have heard) many charges, and grave charges, against him; but we’ have not heard one that we have not seen refuted.—| Jesuits are men, and, of course, suffer more or less the| infirmities common to all men: but we should like to be shown a body of men, of equal numbers, placed in the trying circumstances in which they have been, who have shown less of human infirmity, or have been more)

true to the motto, 4d majorem Die Gloriam. ‘There is| delivery, upon which terms only can he solicit Pa-

no field of science or art which they have not culti- vated with success; no department of literature which they have not enriched with their contributions: scarce- ly a nation to which they have not preached the cross ; and hardly aland which they have not sanctified with the blood of their martyrs.

“ Ev a the present persecution of the Society is to its giory. If the Jesuits had been political demagogues,— if they had been violent radicals, ready to sacrafice li- berty to licence, order to amarchy, religion to politics, heaven to earth,—our ears would not have been stunn- ed with maddened outcries against them; the world would have owned them as her children, and the age would have delighted to honour them. We know it is pretended that they are the enemies of liberty and the friends of despotism, but it needs only a slight know- ledge of facts to know thet this is mere pretence. Li- berty has more than once found her noble champion in the Jesuits, and the hostility a year or two since manifest- ed to them in France was because they demanded the freedom of education a right guarantee by the charac- ter itself. They may not be, in these days, foremost among those who stir up rebellions and revolutions; they may not regard the fearful events which have just transpired in Europe, or are now transpiring, as sure to bring back the golden age of the poets; they may hold, their mission to be spiritual, rather than political, and believe it more important to convert individuals and, nations to God than to one political creed or another:, but if so, it does not follow that they are wrong, or that for this very reason they are not all the more worthy of| our respect and confidence.

“The Society of Jesus was instituted, not for political, but for religious purposes, and its members, by their pro-|

fession, are devoted to preaching the Gospel, hearing; confessions, and educating youth, and that not for one} country only, but for all countries. These ends are} the same and of equal importance everywhere and un- der all forms of government. Ifthe Jesuits were to adopt a political creed,and become its propagandists, how could they devote themselves alike to the ends of their institute under the monarchy of Europe and the demo- cracy of America? What course would or could be pro- per for them, but to abstain from declaring themselves in favour of any particular form of government, and to content themselves with simply inculcating upon all citizens to obey the legitimate government of their coun- try, whatever its form or constitution ?

“The charge against the Jesuits of being in favour of this or that form of government arises from their refusal to declare themselves in favour of one or another, from ine fact that they have no political creed, and make it a point of duty to stand aloof from politics, and to con- tine themselves to the discharge of their spiritual func- tions. They obey the powers that be, and compori tiemselves as loyal subjects to the authority of the country, whether it be autocracy, as in Russia, consti- iutionalism, as in I’rance and Great Britain, or republi- canis, as in America. What more could be asked of iuem ¥ if tyrants denounce them because they will! not turn defenders of tyranny, if revolutionists denounce them because they will not join in the war against le- gitimate authority, whose fault is it? Are we to con- deoin the Jesuits because tyrants and revolutionists have wronged them ?

~W herever the Jesuits are permitted to establish them- selves, they are a blessing. It is not easy to estimate the value to this country of their services as instructors of our youth, It would be difficult to find a substitute; turthem as educators. In every part of the conntry.' cvey are, fur the pure love of God, founding colleges, | and traming up our children in the way they should oa is this nothing? These colleges are but of yesterday, ' vet they have already done great service,—as we our-; @ kes can testify, who have had four sons fora long} .. in ove of them, and who have peculiar reason to thank Alrighty God for raising upand moving the}

good fautlers to devote themselves to the important work! ‘

in comparison with what they will do. ‘They now rank

must place education with us at least on a level with what itis inthe most favoured countries of the Old World. And can we count this small service ?

“Worldlings may despise the Jesuits: infidels and heretics may calumniate them; misguided Catholics, whose faith is but a dead faith, may distrust them; but the world needs them, our own country needs them, and though the Church is dependent on no religious order, they are not the least efficient of her servants.”
