What is Some Personal Reminiscences of Cardinal Bourne about?

I T was, I think, soon after he became Archbishop of Westminster that I first met him. He knew that I was an old fellow worker with Dr Barnardo, and was then acting as Secretary of the National Memorial Fund to raise a quarter of a million pounds to free his homes from debt ; and at the time we met I was setting out on a journey round Europe, with Dr Barnardo's successor, to study the conditions of child rescue work in other lands. Although the Barnardo's Homes in earlier days had come into sharp conflict with the Roman Church regarding Catholic children, an honourable arrangement had resulted, and the Cardinal seized the opportunity of our tour to give us introductions, in no formal terms, to many Catholic Homes abroad. (He did more. Knowing by my Christian apologetics writings that I was particularly interested in the MSS. of the Bible, he asked me whether I would like to see the famous Vatican MS., and he gave me an autograph letter to the Librarian with whom I ultimately spent some hours examining that, and other treasures of the great library ; and to my astonishment I found when I reached the Vatican that he had, without my knowledge, asked that I might be received).
