 OF HIS LORDSHIP THE BISHOP OF KINGSTON ON TBtE TRIBUTE TO' SIS HOIiH«Ba«^. 
 
 Edward John, hy the Chtux of Ghc! and the favor ofihe Apostolic See, Bishop of Xirtg^tori. 
 To the Olsrgy pind Laity of our Diocess, HeaUh and Bsnedicthn in the Lord. 
 
 Dbably Bklovsd Brethren : 
 
 The zeal and lively enthnsiiusm with which the iaithful throiighou^ this Dloce^^ 
 liave proclaimed their attachment and fidelity to the Holy See, have been to us afa abundant 8bur& 
 of joy and consolation. In all the Missions meetings have fteeh held, and everywhere the .pedjp^ 
 have freely declared .their love for the Holy i^ather and their devotion to thte Sfee of Ifeome. ij&b 
 lis return thanks to the God of mercies who draws good from evil, and who makes use of the wick^ 
 designs of perverse men to cause the fjuth of His Holy Church to bhra more brightly in iht hearts 
 Of Her children. 
 
 And indeed, Beloved Blrethren, never in the history of th3 Churcli' vtas there sSei^' greater 
 unanimity among her children ; never did there exist a closer union between the Pastor and! thig flock ; 
 never did the Catholic body, spread as it is throughout the world, give a stronger ph^of, a more 
 solemn declaration of their respect and deep veneration for the Chair of Peter I Wh&t a' delight- 
 ful and ut the same time what a consoling spectacle does not the Catholic universe piresent at the 
 present moment to the christian mind? Every where pi*ayers are bbing oflfered up for the wants of the 
 Church, and to obtain- for the Holy Father the cohsolations he nfeedk in thfe midst Of so many trials. 
 Every where the children of the Catholic Church express the feelings of indignation which fire thrdit 
 souls as they behold the impious, the sacriligoous spoliations committed against the Patrimony '<rf^ 
 Saint Peter. And thus, by the permission of an all -ruling Providence, does it happen that the ef- 
 forts of the enemies of the Church become vain, whilst their rage and hatred only sfefve to arouse 
 the indifferent and the lukewarm ; and to fill the hearts of all true Catholics with feelings of love 
 and reverence for the Church of God and Har Chief Pastor. Yes, Beloved Brethren, this sublime 
 spectacle, of the vrhole Catholic world, giving expression to its feelings and rallying round thethi'oriB 
 Of its well beloved Pontiff, cannot but produce a happy effect. The voices of so many millions of* 
 iUithful children protesting energetically against ths iniquitous treatment to which their spiritual 
 Father is subject, will ere long produce a salutary impression on those whose duty it is to protejt* 
 the Church of God against all temporal cnen.ics. 
 
You will coatinue, dearly Beloved, to offer up prayers for the Holy Father, and to beg of God 
 that He would console and assist him in the midst of his bitter afflictions. Do not for a moment 
 cease to conjure heaven to shorten the time of trial and to quell the tempest which now rages round 
 the Bark of Peter. But, beloved Brethren, whilst in obedience to the wishes of the Holy 
 Father, you lift your hands in prayer, you must not forget that you have another duty to fulfil ; 
 that it is in your power to prove in a tangible mantier your love for the Church and its Head. Our 
 Holy Father has been deprived of a considerable portion of his States ; his revenues which were 
 Wore small, have been diminished, whilst the calls on his treasury have increased. In the midst 
 of his wants to whom should he look for succour if not to his children. It is true he has 
 not made any demand, but will we wait to be asked when we know that our Father is in want ? 
 Win we not rather hasten to offer him a portion of our worldly substance, and thus show that our 
 lovo does not consist in words alonfe, and that we will not remain satisfied with expressions of bar- 
 ren sympathy. Oh Beloved Brethren, what a happiness to be enabled to assist J. C. m the person 
 of His Vicar; what a source of joy to be allowed to offer a tribute to the spiritual Head of 
 the Church ; what a consolation in after life to reflect that you contributed according to your means 
 to support the Vicegerent of Christ on earth against the enemies of true religion. 
 
 Already in many countries the Catholics have sent their offerings to the Sovereign Pontiff. 
 Among the first we behold poor Catholic Ireland-downtrodden, despised, persecuted, she has 
 through ages of unheard of persecution preserved in all its lustre the priceless gem of divine faith ; 
 and ever ready to contribute to Ae glory of God's Church, she sends to the Roman See, from her 
 ' very necessities, sums which by their amount fill with surprise and astonishment even tho^e who 
 thoughttheyknuw best her generous heart Oh let the noble example given b> ^our brethren 
 produce in you its full effect. Imitate their generosity as you share their faith in the Church and 
 their love for their Supreme Pontiff You will contribute to this the most laudable of all purposes^ 
 to maintain truth against error. Catholicity against heresy, innocencs against guilt and iniquity, the 
 cause of Christ and bis Church against all the efforts of Satan. Can it be possible that any one 
 calling himself a Catholic could be so dead to every noble and generous feeling as to refuse to con- 
 tribute his mite ; on the contrary, filled with holy emulation will you not vie with one another to 
 see who will contribute most in favor of this most sacred cause. 
 
 Do not allow the suggestions of worldly prudence to dry up the sources of christian charity. If 
 it be true, as we cannot doubt, that he who giveth to the poor lend'eth to the Lord, how much more 
 "true must these words be when our offerings are made to the representative of Christ on earth. 
 Gome then, dearly Beloved, come and make your offering to the Holy Father. Whatever may be 
 your position in life, rich or poor, come and give according to your means. Let none remain be- 
 hind, however small may be your mite it will be acceptable in the eyes of that God who reads your 
 hearts and who knows your dispositions. If God has given you an abundance of the things of this 
 earth, give generously and God will reward your generosity. We ardently desire that all should 
 share' in this holy work, because we feel that it will draw down on all those who shall have contrib- 
 uted to it^the most precious graces, the richest blessings of Heaven. 
 
 We have therefore decreed, and by these presents do decree as follows : 
 Ist.— A coiJeotlou shall be taken up in each Mission of this Diocess, to form a tribute t<> the 
 Holy Father 
 
2nd. — The Reverend Pastot in each Mission tvill lake suet stej)s as he may deem best calcu* 
 culated to ensure the success of the collection* 
 
 3rd. — All the monies thus oolledted must be sent to us before the 15th July ne*t. 
 
 This, our Pastoral letter, is to be read in all the Churches and Chapels of this-DiooesSj tin thef 
 first Sunday after its reception. 
 
 Given at the Episcopal Palace at Kingston, under our signattire and ttei seal of the Dioccss, the 
 fourth day of June, one thousand eight hundred and sixty.
