LOYOLA COLLEGE REVIEW 25 Context of Macaulay's perfected New Zea- lander, in his essay on Ranke’s History of the Popes, tarag. 3. There is not, and there never was on this earth, a work.of human policy so well deserving of examination as the Roman Catholic Church. The history of that Church joins together the two great ages of human civilization. No other institution is left standing which carries the mind back to the times when the smoke of sacrifice rose from the Pantheon, and when cam- eleopards and tigers bounded in the Flavian amphi- theatre. The proudest royal houses are but of yester- day, when compared with the line of the Supreme Pontiffs. That line we trace back in an unbroken series, from the Pope who crowned -Napoleon in the 19th century to the Pope who crowned Pepin in the 8th; and far beyond the time of Pepin the august dynasty extends, till it is lost in the twilight. of fable. The republic of Venice came next in antiquity. But the republic of Venice was modern when coinpared with the Papacy; and the republic of Venice is gone, and the Papacy remains. The Papacy remains, not in decay, not a mere antique, but full of life and youthful vigor. The Catholic Church is still sending forth to the farthest ends of the world missionaries as zealous as those who landed in Kent with Augustin, and still confronting hostile kings with the same spirit with which she confronted Attila. The number of her children is greater than in any former age. Her acquisi- tions in the New World have more than compensated her for what she has lost in the Old. Her spiritual ascendancy extends over the vast countries which. lie between the plains of the Missouri and Cape Horn, countries which, a century hence, may not improbably contain a population as large as that which now inhabits Europe. The members of her communion are certainly not fewer than. a hundred and fifty millions; and it will be difficult to show that all the other Christian sects united amount to 120 millions. Nor do we see any sign which indicates that the term of her long dom- inion is approaching. She saw the commencement of all the governments and of all the ecclesiastical estab- lishments that now exist in the world; and we feel no assurance that she is not destined to see the end of them all. She was great and respected before the Saxon had set foot on Britain, before the Frank had passed the Rhine, when Grecian. eloquence still flourished in Antioch, when idols were still worshipped in the temple of Mecca. And she may still exist in undiminished vigor when some traveller from New Zealand shall, in the midst of a vast solitude, take his stand on a broken arch of London Bridge to sketch the ruins of St. Paul's. Macaulay, who read and remembered every- ‚ thing and who never pretended to be original, must have been familiar with other anticipa- tions of his famous sentence. He must have known Mrs. Barbauld's Eighteen Hundred and Eleven, a poem in which she writes of a youth from the Blue Mountains or Ontario's Lake’’ who views the ruins of London. Particularly must he have remembered the blank verse of Henry Kirke White (1785-1806) on Britain a Thousand Years Hence,” in which occur these lines :— O’er her marts, Her crowded ports, broods silence; and the cry Of the low curlew, and the pensive dash Of distant billows, breaks alone the void. Even as the savage sits upon the stone That marks where stood her capitols, and hears The bittern booming in the weeds, he shrinks From the dismaying solitude. As all the poets copy one another, Shelley stole Kirke White’s bitterns, while Macaulay passed them by as having no prose value. He harked farther back to Wilcocks in his Roman Conversations (1792-94), wherein he read of “foreigners 2000 years hence sailing up the Thames in search of antiquities,” passing through some arches of the broken bridge,” and viewing ‘‘with admiration the still remain- ing portico of St. Paul's. One year earlier, in 1791--Масаціау would remember—Volney, in the second chapter of Les Ruines, dreams that some day оп the banks of the Seine, the Thames, ог the Zuider Zee”, a traveller may seat himself on silent ruins and bemoan in solitude the ashes of nations and the memory of their greatness. And Mac's unfailing mem- ory will remind. him that in 1774, seventeen years before Volney's book appeared, Horace Walpole warned Sir Horace Mann that аї last some curious traveller would ‘‘visit Eng- land and give a description of the ruins of St. Paul's.

LOYOLA COLLEGE REVIEW 27 Dr. J. С. McCarthy HE newspaper accounts which first announced the sudden death in New York of Dr. J. G. McCarthy, and those whichafew days later reported his funeral in Montreal, dwelt especially оп one characteristic ої the deceased, his gentleness. This, we think, is the trait of his lovable nature that will also live most vividly in the grate- ful memory of sev- eral successive gen- erations of Loyola boys who came under his indulgent care, and still more perhaps in that of the College Fac- ulty who reposed in Dr. McCarthy the most absolute confidence. Dr. McCarthy accepted the re- sponsibility for the health of the in- mates of Loyola in the first year of the existenceof the Col- lege, when after the fire at the corner of St. Catherine and Bleury Streets, it was transferred to 68 Drummond Street. Dr. McCarthy lived conveniently across the street, and thus nat- urally seemed destined by a kind Providence to become the first college physician. His name appears in that capacity in every college catalogue until last year's, when he is marked consultant. Failing health and his removal in 1913 to another neighbourhood, compelled him to give up much of his work at the college, but of his ever active interest in the college he continued to give abundant and most generous proofs. The college in its history will number few warmer friends than Dr. McCarthy. John George McCarthy was born fifty-eight years ago at Sorel, P.Q., а town some 45 miles below Montreal, where the picturesque Richelieu River flowing down from Lake Champlain empties into the Saint Lawrence. His father, Thomas McCarthy, sat in the first Parliament of Canada after Confederation, as member for Sorel. His mother, Mary Emma Tunstall, belonged to a family well-known in Montreal, which had given the Anglican Christ Church Cathedral its first Rector. John С. McCarthy gradua ted in Medi- cine from McGill ‘University in 1888. Two years later he became Assistant Demonstrator in Anatomy, becom- ing later Assistant Professor, until after nineteen years of teaching, he re- tired in 1909. . Of this phase of his life we quote the following from the Montreal Gaz- ене: .- Dr. НО З Birkett,: dean ої thé Faculty of Medicine of McGill University, de- clared last night that Dr. McCarthy had made the discovery of a new anatomical structure in the brain, which has received his name, and paid the following tribute: Dr. McCarthy was an exceptionally clear and interesting teacher. Тһе medical profession in Montreal have lost in him a very able and highly esteemed member, and his many close friends deeply deplore his removal. The news of his death was a great shock -to us all. То those who knew Dr. McCarthy more intimately, the news of his death, though a great shock, was not entirely unexpected. Не was a very sick man when, yielding to the persuasive requests of his brother, he tried the
