FATHER MATHEW UNAPPRECIATED BY THE IRISH.
The Sacred Heart Review, Volume 31, Number 7, 13 February 1904
A writer in the Western Watchman regrets that the Irish, as a people, have failed to realize the magnitude of Father Mathew’s work. He says:— ” It is, indeed, sad to see Irishmen worshiping the heroes of bombastic and theatrical movements — movements that were, for sufficient reasons, failures from the moment of their incubation—and treating in a quasi – respectable manner the memory of a man whose name will be linked forever with Lincoln’s as one of the two greatest humanitarians of the nineteenth century. ” If the Irish were to let politics alone for a decade, and were to concentrate all their efforts in spreading the temperance lesson of Father Mathew throughout their island home, I am sure they would accomplish more in that time for their general advancement than they can in a hundred years by political agitation ‘doped’ with poteen and dazed with tradition. … If temperance were to become the bloodless battle-cry of the Irish, they would soon stand in the van of nations, because a people that leads
in a great moral undertaking commands the respect and admiration of other peoples. Ireland would take on again the prestige and influence she had when she sent forth her missionaries to the ends of the earth. . . . ” It sometimes appears to me that Father Mathew, whom I consider the greatest Irishman born in centuries, is to be adopted by Americans. He seems to be better understood by them. They seem more readily to grasp the truth of the words so grandly illustrated in life, and so vigorously enunciated in his speech : ‘ A sober man is a God-fearing man, and a God-fearing man is a pillar of Christian civilization.’ “
