Excerpt from Is It a Sin?: An Inquiry Into the Lawfulness of Complying With the Rule of the National Board Relative to Religious Instruction The Irish Education Controversy is n ow narrowed to a single issue. When the National system of Education was first established, it was opposed by the Clergy of the Established Church upon various grounds, all of them more or less connected with the struggle which they were called upon to maintain in this country against the Church of Rome. But among these grounds there was one which, before long, assumed the foremost place, and which was deemed sufficient to prevent the co-operation of the Clergy in that System, even though all the other grounds of opposition were taken away. It is needless to saythat this objection was that taken to the Fundamental Rule of the National Board, relative to religious instruction. With this Rule, so far as the Bible was concerned, the majority of the Irish Clergy refused to comply and they have justified that refusal upon the assumed unlawfulness of the submission. It is not meant that all those, who have held aloof from the National System, have felt themselves constrained to do so upon this ground. There are many who did not think it unlawful to comply with its restrictive rules, who, at the same time, submitted to personal sacrifices in order to main tain their schools upon what they believed to be a better system. There were others in the same ranks, who held their place there, because they would not weaken the efforts of the Clergy to obtain some measure of state support for the system which they preferred. And, lastly, there were not a few, who shrunk from incurring the odium which attached to those who joined the National Board, especially at the time when the patronage of the Government was bestowed as the reward of such acquiescence.
