Special Appeal: At Mass, the chief Celebrant (Priest) leads the prayers some of which are meant to be communal – congregation is expected to join in. This is true especially at the Gloria, Creed, Acclamation of faith (After elevation of host and chalice), great Amen, and Our Father. Could each of us help to revive this practice and so make the overall prayer ours—more communal and meaningful?

BEHAVIOUR: But Dr. King addressed this sort of “either/or” argument decades ago in an address on racism/segregation at Cornell College in Iowa. It’s well worth reading:
There is another myth that has circulated a great deal. I call it, for lack of a better phrase, the myth of educational determinism. I am sure you have heard this: ‘Legislation can’t solve this problem, only education can solve it. Judicial decrees can’t solve it, executive orders from the President can’t solve it. Only with education and changing attitudes through education will we be able to come to a solution to this problem.’ Now there is a partial truth here, for education does have a great role to play in this period of transition. But it is not either education or legislation; it is both education and legislation. It may be true that morality cannot be legislated, but behaviour can be regulated. It may be true that the law cannot make a man love me, but it can keep him from lynching me, and I think that’s pretty important also. It may be true that the law cannot change the heart, but it can restrain the heartless, and this is what we often do and we have to do in society through legislation.
AUSTRALIA: Fire Management In Australia. The current wet conditions delivered by La Niña may have caused widespread flooding, but they’ve also provided a reprieve from the threat of bushfires in southeastern Australia. Now they have time to prepare for the next bushfire season.
DAIRY Cow for your lawn; What will the ex-dairy cows do ? There’s going to be a lot of them, considering there’s nearly two million in the UK alone! So, we thought, why not let them do what they do best and graze all day?” Tempted? For more information, head over to realdealmilk.com/moo.

IRISH LANGUAGE REVIVAL. ENTHUSIASTIC. PUBLIC MEETING IN L1STOWEL.SPEECHES BY MESSRS FLAVIN AND O’DONNELL, M.P’S.
On Friday night a large and thoroughly representative public meeting was held in the Hall of the St Patrick’s Total Abstinence Society, Listowel, in support of the Irish Language Revival Movement, Addresses were delivered by Messrs; M J Flavin, T O’Donnell, M.P’s; J Gallagher, Tralee, and others. The proceedings throughout were of the most enthusiastic character.
Amongst the others present were—Messrs T Gibson, M Enright, B.A, Professor St Michael’s College; P Breen, do; M; O’Connor, J.P; J T Pierce, V.S; J J. Galvin, R.D.C; Dr Crowley, R J Marshall, Solr; D Browne, R Browne, J B Tackaberry, UDC; W L Fitzgerald, do; P Hayes, do; M Kerin, do; R J Cuthbertson, J Collins, J M’Guire, E O’Sullivan, D J Flavin, U.D.C ; C Hanlon, J Nolan, J Browne, L Buckley, U.D.C ; W Keane, etc, etc.
The Chairman, who on rising was received with loud applause, said that he sincerely thanked them for conferring on an humble townsman of their own the very high and distinguished honour of being asked to preside at that meeting, and he thought there were very few occasions greater pride than on an occasion like the present, when old men and the young blood were hand in hand in support of their good old language, which was prized by their ancestors, and which unfortunately and unfriendly Government had done all that in them lay to bury beyond hope of resurrection (applause). He thanked God the spirit of the Irish people, as well as the spirit of the Irish language, had not been killed. They were assembled to give their little assistance to push forward the Gaelic language by every means in their power;
and he said that the language, being the language of Ireland, was a language well worthy of support; and they could not expect that the Irish people would be worthy of their ancestors unless the language that had been handed down had been preserved by them (applause). His duty there that night would be a very light one—merely to introduce to them the several speakers , some of whom were young men who had made a very close study of the Irish language, and whom, he was sure, they would be delighted to see coming ward speaking in support of their native tongue. On the proposition of Mr M Kerin, U.D.C, seconded by Mr J J Galvin, R.D.C, Mr T O’Sullivan was appointed secretary to the meeting. The following letters of apology were read:— Listowel, November 16.1900. Dear Mr O Sullivan —Lest I may not be able to attend your meeting to-night, I write to let you know that the movement which is being got up here for the revival of the Irish language has my fullest sympathy and shall freely get any help I can give it. (Applause). Yours faithfully, John Pattison. Finuge, 16,11, 1900.
T F O’Sullivan, Esq, Sec Gaelic League, Listowel Branch).
Dear Mr. O Sullivan —I am duly in receipt of your circular, and in reply beg to say that the movement to revive the Irish Language has my fullest sympathy and support. I am sorry I cannot be at your meeting tonight, but shall gladly become a member and do what I can to forward the movement (applause). Yours Sincerely Edward J Cussan
Mr T Gibson proposed and Dr Crowley, seconded the adoption of the following resolutions.
1—That we pledge ourselves to promote by every means in our power the revival of our mother tongue (applause).
Several other promotional points were also approved.

THE CHOLERA.
In the whole of Russia there have been 6,144 cases of cholera, and 2,741 deaths. In St. Petersburg on Tuesday there were 155 cases and 51 deaths, while 69 recovered. It seems that a hundred passengers landed from Hamburg at Harwich, and every effort is being made to trace them. Some suspicious cases have been taken in hands in Falmouth and Tynemouth. The cases at Liverpool have been properly isolated. One of the patients died on Wednesday. An order was issued from the English Local Government Board on Thursday requiring all vessels from Hamburg to get rid of their tank and bilge water before entering English docks. Up to a late hour on Wednesday night no spread of the infection in England was reported.
