Iamnowabouttorelatetoyouatrue story,whichactuallyoccurredinthe year1847,atatimewhengrimfamine wasdesolatingthegloriousIslandof Saints,andtakinghundredsupon hundredsofpoor,half-starvedcreaturesfromaworldofcrueltyandoppressionto,letushope,abrighterland, where Thewickedceasefromtroubling, Andthewearyareatrest.
Peoplelaydeadordyingbythe roadside,and,althoughmanywere tempted-andinmanyinstancesdidtoselltheirhopesofsalvationfora mere"messofpottage,"intheshape ofsoup,atthehandsofthosesinful creatureswhoadoptedthismeansof proselytizingthestarvingIrishfrom theirbelovedfaithwiththemoney whichwascollectedinEnglandandthe Continentfortheuniversalreliefofthe faminestrickenpopulation,still,weall knowhowthatthousandspreferred deathbystarvationratherthanforsake thegloriousfaithofSt.Patrick.And nowformystory,whichshallbe called-
FAITHFULUNTODEATH.
Amongstthemanywhomanagedto escapefromthehorriblefamineandfind refugeinEnglandwasapoorwidow andhertwochildren-aboyandagirl. Herhusbandhadcurlysuccumbedto theravagesofthefamine,andno courseseemedopentothebereaved motherbuttoflyasquicklyaspossible fromtheplacewhere,asachild,she hadplayed.Bysomemysteriousmeans shehadscrapedtogetherthenecessary passage-money,andonodarknightshe waslandeUriendlessandutterlydestitute,intherownofLiverpool.Thence shewenttoBirkenhead,andthereit wasthat,nothavingtastedfoodfora considerabletime,shecrawledtoanold emptyhouse,completelyexhausted,and withthecriesofherstarvingchildren ringinginherears.Forherselfshe caredlittle,buttoseethesufferingsof herlittleoffspringwasagonyitself, andinavoicefilledwithalltheanguish ofadesolatemother'sheartshepressed themtoherbosomandofferedupher prayerstotheEternalFatherofthe widowandtheorphan.Ferventlythe poorwomanprayed,andbesoughtGod tosendsuccourtoherselfandher children,andthathersupplications ascendedtotheMostHighthesequel ofmystorywillprove.
ItsohappenedthattheProtestant clergymanoftheplate-anotedcontroversialistonmattersofreligion,a bigot,andamostintensehaterofour holyfaith-waspassingthehomewhere thedyingwomanlay,and,hearing moansasofapersonindeeppain issuingtherefrom,curiosityprompted himtoenter.Uponherwretchedpallet ofstrawhosawbeforehimthe emaciatedformofthestarvingwoman, andcrouchingbyhersidehertwolittle children,whosecriesonlyaddedtothe mother'ssufferings.
Drawingnearthewretchedwoman, theparsonsaid,"Howlonghaveyou beenlyinghere,mygoodwomen?"
Shetoldhim;and,hardthoughit mayappear,hemutteredbeneathhis breath," I anotherofthose Irishcreaturescometotroubleuswith theirwretchedcriesforassistance."
Suddenly,however,abrightthought struckhim.Whatagloriousthingit wouldbeforhim,andwhatablowto theCatholicsitwouldprove,ifhe couldpersuade-ashefeltsurehe wouldbeabletodo-thisalmostdying womantoabjureherreligionand becomeamemberoftheChurchbylaw established.Then;!1111-ofthisidea,he thusspoketoher: ".myworth7tcreature,...youmust knOW-tlifitIansaministeroftheProtestantreligion-infact,aministerof thatheavenlyinstitution,sothatit would.scarcelyberightformeto bestowhelpupononewhobelongstoa religionwhichistheveryincarnation ofwickednessandcorruption.Now, ifyouwillgiveupyourpresentbelief Iwillundertaketohearalltheexpenses ofyoursickness,andwillbestowupon yourchildrenagoodhomeand.agood

Thepoormotherheardtheparson's rhapsodiestotheend,and,although tears-bigscaldingtears-rolleddown herpale,emaciatedcheeks,shefirmly shookherhead,
"No!"shecriedasvehementlyas herweakenedconditionwouldallow, "nevershallitbesaidthatIforsook myholyreligionforthesakeofmy body.GodandHisholyMotherwho havesofarguardedandprotected?me will,Ifeelsure,dosototheendI SoonerwouldIdie:alongwithmy childrenthanlivewiththethoughtof mysintotormentmeduringlife,and Heaven'seternalpunishmentas,my justrewardatdeath."
"What!"criedthehard-hearted parson,"wouldyouprefertoletyourselfandyourchildrendieamiserable death,ratherthanenjoyhealthand happinessbymerelygivingupone religionforanotherwhichisthetrue religionoftheGospel?"
