London Truth. Apropos of the story in last week’s “Truth” of the theft of an umbrella during the communion service,"the following reaches me from Ireland: The umbrella of a Catholic penitent was stolen whilst she was at confession. She went with the story to Cardinal Wiseman, hoping, probably, to obtain compensation. The only consolation she got from the Cardinel was this: “My child J am sorry for you: but the Scriptures tell us to watch as well as pray.”
