THREE BOOKS FOR BOYS. From Benziger Bros., 36-38 Barclaystreet, New York City, N.Y., U.S.A., there comes three stories, written by American priests for American boys. The setting is American, and at times the idiom peculiar to American youth needs interpretation, yet the stories are so true of the genus boy that they will prove appetising fare forthoys the world over. (We realise, of course, that the more we emphasise these books as stories for boys, the more eagerly will The they be read by school-girls!) picture of a manly lad, that gets in and out of trouble with the agility of an eel, is painted in bold relief by these priest authors, who undoubtedly remain boys still. There is nothing in these tales of the "namby-pamby," "mother's darling," creature that must be called a boy, •because we cannot call him a mouse or anything else. Let us hope that this laudable enterprise will not cease with the present output, but that these authors may produce more, and encourage others to enter the field, wide but almost deserted, of stories for boys with a Catholic background. To our school librarians we say, add these books to your shens, and your children will welcome the others that may come. By Rev. Raymond Brass Knuckles. O'Brien. Net, 125 dollars. Here is a book about a boy who falls in with a gang whose speciality is larceny in all its forms. When the gang's hang-out is raided a pair of brass knucdisappears and kles mysteriously causes the hero of the tale no end of worry. The finding of them in a most unexpected way will give the reader as big a thrill as anything he can see on There is a sound, nonthe screen. pietistic Catholic tone introduced into the story when our young gangster gets acquainted with some real Catholic boys. It is through them and their parish priest that the hero finally It shows that "turns to the right." crime does not pay, and it incidentally inculcates a right feeling for religion and the Church. Father O'Brien has written a tale that grips and directs the healthy boy. It is a moving story touching many influences that bear on a boy in an American city. Reading the description of Speed's First Communion in the final chapter. one experiences the effect of a beautiful incident painted by a true artist. Another book that clamours for a place in a school library. The Bascomb Boys on the Gridiron. By Rey. II Heagney. 12mo., cloth, with frontispiece. Net, 125 dollars. Father Heagney's new book, unlike his former books, "Ted Bascomb in the Cow Country," and "The Testing of Al Bascomb"- has its setting in the East. Al. the young cowboy, and cousin of Ted Bascom)), comes east to go to school with his cousin. At Ted's urging, he is to try to get a place on the St. Andrew's hotball team, of which Ted is the quarter-back. Al finally succeeds, and becomes one of the team's outstanding players. On the day of one of the important games, however, Al was abducted from the school, by means of a ruse to ensure victory for the opposing team. How Al eludes his captors and takes part in the game, as well as his discovery of a hidden treasure, will afford many entertaining moments for the young reader. We recommend this story to boys as an introduction to the mysteries of American football, mysteries which remained mysteries to me even after two seasons' observation of the doings on the "gridiron." Harry Brown at Barchester. By William F. Hendrin, S.J. Net, 1.75 dollars. This is a story of life in a Catholic High School: a regular day school such as we find in every city. The book takes into account almost every phase of activity in high school. The story is laid in class Sophomore A, presided over by Father Forrest, a stern but kindly Jesuit. There are many incidents both amusing and of more serious character that take place in this room throughout the Sophomore year. The story opens just before the beginning of the football season, and is carried through the exciting games of this season, to the basketball, and

There are many other episodes, both thrilling and amusing, which will furnish boys of junior high and high school age with very enjoyable reading. All books are well made, print and paper good, and the frontispiece makes an attractive introduction. We suggest to school librarians to write to Benziger Bros., 36-38 Barclay-street, New York City, for a list of their stories for children, suitable for school Teachers, be they priests, libraries.
religious, or lay, should never lose sight of the admonition of R. L. Stevenson in the "Art of Writing": "The most influential books, and the truest in their influence, are works of fiction. They repeat, they rearrange, they clarify the lessons of life; they disengage us from ourselves, they constrain us to the acquaintance of others: and they show us the web of experience, not as we can see it for ourselves, but with a singular change—that monstrous consuming change—that monstrous con. nonce, struck out."

Protestant Bishop of Killaloe STANDS FOR MODERNISn i he Protestant Bishop of Killaloe ( Dr. Patten), at the opening service, in St. Patrick's Cathedral. Dublin, of the General Synod of the Protestant Church. preached a sermon which cannot but have a disturbing effect on the minds of Irish Christians generally, and of Irish Protestants in particular. Up to now, says the "Catholic Times." Ireland has been practically free from the canker of Modernism: at least, the Modernists, apart from an eccentric or two, have not dared to air their views in public. But now Dr. Patten gives the mencouragement to erme into the open. There were, he said, certain preachers and teachers who go outside the limits imposed by the official authority of the Church, and such men the Church tolerated at the present juncture, but it was not to be assumed that they were generally representative of the Church. An individual Modernist, in so far as he departed from the official teaching of the Church, spoke for himself, and himself alone. in any case, he added, heresy-hunting was no cure for the incidental risks of free investigation. Let them, instead of trusting any teaching by those who were labelled, or libelled, "Modernist"—let them, instead of identifying the new learning with heresy, rather trust most deeply, more definitely on the guidance of the Holy Spirit for the Church. If. for instance. at any time, any particular phase of Modernism was plainly subversive of the whole' content of the
t. hurch's faith, then it would come to nought. And if it be reconcilable with that, then it would prove to be but a fresh interpretation of the Truth, which moved precisely because it lived. Modernism was, from one standpoint, the price paid for freedom, and it was partly, at least, due to those who were called Modernists that the Anglican Church was in the very front of the best British scholarship and thought of to-day. That. remarked Dr. Patten, could not be said of -Rome. She had produced many great saints, but in the realm of Biblical scholarship and criticism she was cribbed, cabined, and confined. The Irish Protestant's dislike of Setesy-hunting is a very new growth. Only a couple of years ago the incumbent of a Dublin church was proceeded against in the Court of General Synod for introducing into his church services certain "Popish" practices. He was reprimanded and ordered to cease his innovations and to apologise, which he did. On the other hand, within the past year another incumbent in another diocese has publicly repudiated the doctrines of the Trinity and of the Divinity of Our Lord. His offence not savouring of Popery, he was not posecuted. In fact, he has received indirectly from Dr. Patten a testb monial as being perhaps an instrument of the Holy Spirit. Heresy-hunting in Ireland is confined to the prevention of the growth of "superstition." Denial of the Christian Faith is not super-t ition

Sunday, December 14, will ever remain an eventful day in the lives of the Children of Mary, this being the day set aside for their first annual picnic, which was held at the Porongorups. It needs good foresight to cater for seventy healthy, hungry pirnicers, and this was done by the good Sisters, who supplied in abundance dainty provisions to satisfy the hearts of the happy party. Morning dawned grey and doubtful, but Our Lady saw that the long-looked-for day would not be marred by the weather, and in a short time the heavy clouds were transformed into a wealth of glittering sunshine.

Then a great muster to the Convent steps for the distribution of "playlunch," which consisted of a little parcel of "goodies" for the long journey.

At 5 o'clock we journeyed back to the Hostel, where we had tea, and by 7 o'clock we were ready for the homeward journey, which was made by the Napier route, completing a round drive of eighty miles. After travelling about 12 miles, our attention was drawn to the fact that the second bus was not following up, so we drew up immediately to give them time to overtake Becoming anxious, a party set us. out in search of the missing ones, while the others occupied their time No doubt by reciting the Rosary.

Return of the Prime Minister booking very much better after his sea trip and English fresh air, during ,his short holiday in the hub of the universe, the Prime Minister (Mr. Scullin) returned to this country by the He reOrmonde on Tuesday last. ceived very enthusiastic welcomes at Fremantle and Perth. A great gathering of citizens gave him a remarkably warm and kindly reception at the Prince of Wales Theatre. His speech on the occasion was received with great favour by the gathering, and manifestly he was well-approved of the people. ,At the luncheon given by the League of Nations' Union, he made a stirring appeal for support for the League, and later in the day he was warmly welcomed by Labour supporters at the Unity Theatre. In a lengthy statement given to the Press, Mr. Scullin referred to the economic position and the results of the discussions at the Imperial Conference. Other questions were referred to him by the interviewer, but he withheld comment until he was better acquainted with the course of Australia's domestic affairs during his absence. In the discussion with the heads of other Governments in the British Commonwealth, the Prime Minister said, there was always present a vein of sympathetic understanding due to common troubles and to a realisation of Governthe difficulties confronting ments dealing with adverse world economic conditions. Governments could only play their part, and it would require earnest effort from every section of the community to place Australia on the high road to prosperity. After having been abroad, Mr. Scullin said he was more convinced than ever of the importance, apart from the Imperial Conference itself, of visiting Great Britain at the present juncture. Australia's efforts to solve her problems were being watched with very great interest in other parts of the British Commonwealth. There was a disposition to paint our present position and future prospects in pigments of drab grey, if not of inky blackness. He did not want to minimise the seriousness of the difficulties, but the pessimism in some quarters abroad, as well as in Australia, was not altogether warranted by the circumstances, and was impeding the way to recovery. The nervousness of investors in Great Britain regarding Australia's position would, he believed, be shortly overcome. The important loan conversion, just undertaken with signal success in Australia, would have most favourable effects abroad. The Australian delegation went to the Imperial Conference with natural eagerness to provide marketing outlets for the increasing exportable surplus of the primary industries. Mr. Scullin continued. In view of the known attitude of the British Government towards tariffs, it was realised that the difficulties Australia would have to face would not be confined to the question of increased tariff preferences, but would extend even to the maintenance It was of the existing preferences. quite wrong to stiggeat that, because the discussions had not led to the immediate adoption of additional tariff preferences. the Conference had not On the conachieved a great deal. trans the discussions had led to the laying of a foundation for, closer economic co-operation, the first results of w hich should be revealed in the very Far-reaching changes in near future. the political or economic life of a nation or group of nations ceuld not be brought about in a day. There u-as no need to emphasise to the people of Australia, Mr. Scullin said, how important it was to have from the British Government the declaration that existing preferential margins would not be reduced for a period of three years. or pending the outcome of the economic conference in Ottawa this year. Hitherto the granting of those preferebees had been subsidiary to the imposition of tariff duties on the goods concerned for revenue purposes, and the preferences had, therefore been liable to be withdrawn at any time
Hoyts Capitol Theatre "Sunny Side Up,- Fox Movietone's gorgeous screen musical show, enters its second week at the Capitol to-day (Saturday). This tuneful light cornedy-drama, written by De Sylva, Brown. and Henderson, has placed Janet Gaynor and Charles Farrell on a new pinnacle, utterly different, but in the same high altitude as did their performance in "Seventh Heaven." The dainty, wistful little Janet proves her versatility by playing a comedy role, broad in spots, and again She on the borderland of pathos.

There are at least six tremendous song hits in "Sunny Side Up," in. chiding "A Talking Picture of You," "Sunny Side Up," "I'm a Dreamer," "Turn on the Heat," "You Find the Time. I'll Find the Place," and "You've Got Me pickin' Petals Off of Daisies." Augmenting the imposing cast are one hundred singing and dancing beauties in the chorus ensembles.

The World's Greatest Lyric Tenor, John McCormack, in "Song 0' My Heart," the Next Attraction for the Capitol. "Song o' My Heart,- the Fox Movietone musical romance, starring the world. renowned concert tenor, John McCormack, opens at the Capitol Theatre shortly. This production will give admirers of John McCormack's singing, and the more millions who have not been privileged to hear the great tenor other than through the medium of records, an opportunity of hearing him at his best. There are some fa?cinating aspects about the voice of John McCormack. One of them is the use of his voice as an instrument. Sometimes it is like a stringed instrument over which he has the most perfect control. Another aspect is the power of concentration with which he infects his listeners, his wistful nuances, his sense of climax used deliberately with utmost dramatic effect. As some great actors can create a part, and nobody afterwards seems to play it in just the same way, so some songs in his generation will remain synonymous with the name of John McCormack. The story of "Song o' My Heart" opens with John McCormack as a talented singer in a little Irish village, saddened by an early disappointment in love The girl, following the dictates of a domineering aunt, marries another. The role is beautifully enacted by Alice Joyce. and Maureen O'Sullivan and Tommy Clifford give delightful net-formances as her two children. Ulti-

Around the Catholic World SHOPMEN "TRAVELLING PROTESTANTISbL"
or
The 'Vsservatore Romano," after having received particular reports from the several Catholic vapors of the various regions of Italy, denounces the operations of what it calls the "travelling shopmen of Protestantism," who are making use of the Missionary Journal, in particular, to attract subThe paper demands that scriptions. the police take action to put an end to the activity of these unscrupulous propagandists, who, not content with attacking the good faith of Catholic families, seek also to buy the consci• ences of unfortunates a prey to misery, by the aid of large subsidies, provided by foreigners, which they dispense. The "Osservatore Romano" declares finally that it is perfectly true there exist actually a vast movement of Protestant propaganda in Italy where, following the new religious law, non-Catholic cults can style themselves to-day not "tolerated" but "admitted," "that is to say," says the paper, "admitted to disturb morality and to deceive mankind." "PADRE OF THE RAINS." Out at the University of Santa Clara, California, an aged Jesuit priest can be seen to slip into the Ricardidemorial Observatory once a day for a few minutes to look over records and reports. He is not permitted to do much more than that, but it is his way of keeping "in touch," and the fact that he is abler to do even that much is a source of joy to the students and teachers at the University, for it was feared many times in the past year that Father Jerome S. Ricard, noted "Padre of the Rains," would never enter the Observatory again. Father Ricard, after his long illness, has, for several months, been back in his old quarters at the University. Despite his eighty-one years, Father Ricard is always witty, and his mind active and clear, his associates say. He is always hopeful of resuming his work of directing the Observatory, which he made famous. The Observatory work is proceeding as usual. but Father RicardS absence is sorely felt. (Note: Father Ricard, S.J., died at San Jose, California. on the 9th. of December; aged 81.) A MADMAN'S "RAG." Sentence .of two month's imprisonment with hard labour was passed at the Derby Borough Police Court upon Williain Davies, aged 66, who pleaded guilty to a charge of wilfully damaging the door of St. Joseph's Church by splashing it with black enamel. This was the fourteenth time the door had been defaced. Captain Rawlings, the Chief Constable, described Davies as a man of very peculiar habits. He stated that the prisoner had been twice in mental hospitals in Wales, and later became an attendant at the Mickleover Mental Hospital. Captain Rawlings also stated that Davies. who lived with his sister in Derby, kept most extraordinary hours. He added that the prison medical officer had reported that Davies had behaved quite normally and had shown no signs of mental defect. •Davies declined to say anything about the case or to explain his conduct. It was stated that he had described his actions as "a rag.- He was arrested by two priests in the eadv morning after disfiguring the church door. MINERS BUILD A CHURCH. Catholic miners of the Stainforth district (Eng.) have themselves built a temporary wooden church at a cost of £265. It is free of debt. There are 1,400 Catholics at Stainforth. Some time ago, the miners of 5Ioorends, also near Doncaster, built a wooden church and then a social club. Bishop Cowgill has appointed Father Esser, C.R.P., a noted Belgian artist, some of whose work has appeared in the "Universe." to be priest-in-charge of Stainforth. A TOLERANT BISHOP.

ARCH-
The Anglican Archbishop of Wales, speaking at Colwyn Bay, referred to the recent controversy in connection with the recognition of a new Catholic school in the town and said: "I congratulate the Roman Catholics heartily upon their achievement, which really represents the achievement of common sense and fair play." His Grace declared that the good manners of the childrern attending privately maintained schools were b.n example to the town.
NEW
ENGLISH PROVINCE OF NUNS FORMED. A province of the Sisters of the Holy Cross has been formed in England, with Mother Augustine of the Holy Cross Convent at Gerrard's Cross as the first Provincial. There are about thirty Sisters of the Holy Cross in England with houses at Wimbledon, Belmont, and Gerrard's Cross. The order is a teaching one. The Sisters came to England and founded the convent at Wimbledon in 1902. Ten years ago they established a branch at Belmont, and two years ago founded a convent at Gerrard's Cross. The Mother General came to England to establish the Province and has just left for South Africa, where the order does missionary work. The Sisters also work in India and Chile. The Holy Cross Convent and School at Gerrard's Cross was formerly known as "The Grange." In the Middle Ages it was a farm or grange of the Canons Regular of St. Augustine of Missenden. Later it became the property of the famous Quaker family of Pennington, Judge Jeffries, of Bloody Assizes fame, lived there for a time. CATHOLIC YOUTH OF CHINA PROTESTS. "The 284,793 Catholic young men and young women in China, and all those who study abroad, protest against the intolerance of the National Government in the education question. The decrees which forbid the study of religion and the holding of religious ceremonies in our schools of China are directly against the natural law, the Chinese Constitution, the principles of Dr. Sun Vat Sen, and the liberty of citizens of the Chinese Republic. We desire that religion be taught without We dehindrance in all our schools. sire freely to pay honour in our schools to the God whom we love, the God who has created heaven and earth. No human power has the right to prevent us from following our conscience. We demand to the very limit our rights of Chinese citizenship." This is the text of the protest which the Catholic Youth Association in Peking has issued against the action of the new Governrnent in prohibiting the teaching of religion and the holding of religious service= in the mission schools CATHOLIC PREMIER RESIGNS, Herr Vaugoin. the Catholic Preinffir of Austria, and his Cabinet, have resigned, and the President has entrusted another Catholic, the provincial Governor of the Vorarlberg, Dr. Otto Ender. with the task of forming a new Cabinet. Marshal Pilstulski.. the Catholic Premier of Poland, has informed the President of the Republic that he is resigning. as his health does not permit him to do as much work as his office demands.

Established on November 23th., PM, by Fathers Moinet and Delanney, of the White Fathers, the mission in that portioh of Central Africa which is now known as the Belgian Congo has to-day a Catholic population numbering 700,000. Having travelled overland for months from the Indian Ocean to the Great Lakes. the two priests made their first foundation at, Mulweba. which the slave trade so destroyed within five years tthat they were compelled to start again at Kibanga. In their early. years they had to fight hard against sleeping sickness, and the evils of slavery, but in the fifty years that have passed since they landed, in the dark of a November evening. at Mulweba, the missionaries who followed t hem have taken possession of every c orner of the vast area of 900,000 square miles, the equivalent of four Frances, which constitutes the Belgian Congo. In this territory 594 missionary priests, 304 missionary brothers, and 489 missionary sisters are at work, closely seconded by the Belgian Government, which appreciates thoroughly what their labours mean for the good of the 15.600,000 inhabitants. Great regions are yet unoccupied, but each year witnesses important advances and tens of thousands of converts. Another decade will find the number of the faithful well beyond the million mark.

CONVERT JEWS' ACT OF REPARATION. While more than 10,000 young Catholics. at the appeal of Cardinal Verdier, assembled in the nave of the Cathedral of Notre Dame to assist at the offices in honour of Christ the King, a ceremony more humble but more significant was enacted in the crypt of the basilica of the Sacred Heart in Montmartre. Sixty Israelite converts had assembled there, they also to honour together Christ the King. The superior of the chaplains of Montmartre, who gave the address, felicitated them on this gesture of love and of ieparation. He exhorted them to persevere in their prayers to bring back to the cradle the lost sheep of Israel. GLASGOW TRIBUTE TO VETERAN PR/EST. At ,the Port Glasgow Town Hall recently, Rev. Father Philip McColl, who some time ago retired from the charge of St. John's, Port Glasgow, was felicitated by his former congregation, and presented with a testimonial and a cheque for £420. Testimony to his successful administrative work at St. John's, as well as the active part he took in public affairs, was borne by several speakers. LTNE IN 1940. Sir Richard Gregory, Emeritus Professor of Astronomy, Queen's College, London. is forecasting for the "Daily Mail- processes whereby in 1940 plants, which convert inorganic substances alto food, will be reproduced at chemical works. Toil necessary to secure bread from the soil will be avoided, he says. Instead of gross feeding, a concentrated product of the laboratory will maintain the body and through an slectric stimulus of the brain the deaf will hear and the blind see. Organic chemistry will produce new textiles competing with cotton and wool. Doris Zinkelsen, the artist, suggests that women may live in glass houses. wearing exquisite fabrics spun from glass, which will be unbreakable and not transparent, and also materials of metallic origin which, if torn, can be repaired at any handy garage.
said Sir John Ganzoni, M.P., a Protestant, opening a bazaar in aid of renovations, costing £300, at the Church of St. Pancras, Ipswich, England. He hoped that the Catholic community throughout the country might be fairly, reasonably, justly and considerately treated, and, above all things, that education of their young might not be interfered with, but that they might be allowed to see after heir own independent Church people. The DeputyMayor, a Methodist, hoped the bazaar would be a success, and said he was positive there was much good to be gained by coming in contact with one another and collectively doing some. thing towards the achievement of a re. salt.

-••-••-•-•••-•.”
"It is now three weeks to the day— Wednesday—since we arrived in San Francisco. and this is the first mention I've made of it, but I'll try now and tell you about our three-day stop-over there. First, I must say that we both liked the city immensely—as well, I think, as New York, Washington, or Chicago, and, secretly, better titan Los Angeles —that is, as a city, but it wouldn't be safe to voice that opinion in L.A., as the rivalry that exists be• t ween the two places is keener than anything You ever heard of, and you'd be found dead in your bed if you said anything derogatory about this city to San Francisco, though, is a native. the real metropolis, and has all the atmosphere of New York and 'big Chicago, and the thrill that goes along with it, while L.A. is such a straggly, spread-out place. I think I told you in one of my letters awhile back, when talking of Cleveland and Detroit, that 'Frisco was the Fourth City in the U.S. Well, I was mistaken. Los Angeles is —but it shouldn't be. Its population, however, is nearly two million, which seems absurd when you see the place, but which is easier to understand when you realise that the 'city' takes in all the surrounding territory for about thirty miles. and even includes a narrow strip of country which leads down to its harbour at San Pedro. Los Angeles, you see, has profited, by the experience of the older cities, such as Cleveland and San Francisco. which were surveyed in the early days before they had any notion they would grow t o such a size, and now cannot expand any further because they are surrounded by places which absolutely refuse to amalgamate with them. Cleveland for instance, has the suburbs of Lakewood and Rockey River on the west, and on the east, East Cleveland, Cleveland Heights. Euclid Heights, Shaker Heights. and some others. These places are really part of Cleveland—in tact. are the residential sections of the city. All the people who live there work in Cleveland and make their money there, and there is nothing to show where Cleveland ends and the others begin, and yet they will not be classed as part of the city. San Francisco is a litle different. The limitations to its expansion are more of a geographical nature. It is a peninsular city, you see, and is surrounded on three sides San Francisco is built on by water. that small peninsular only eleven miles Across the Bay are the cities long. of Oakland and Berkeley—but on no account would they join in with San Francisco. though most of the people who live there go over to 'Frisco every (lay to work. San Rafael and Sausilito. on the other side of the Golden Gate, are smaller places, but the same situation obtains with regard to them as poor S.F. is doomed to stay that size for the rest of its days. and as its business sections extend, and it becomes more 'citified' (metropolitanised, I can almost imagine the Americans saving! its population will probably get smaller, for the people will all move to these other places to live, and in the next census will be counted as residents In Los Angeles, however, the t here. situation is exactly the reverse of this. It is. if course, a much newer city than San Francisco. and so, when it began t o grow, it immediately annexed as much of the surounding territory as it could, and so has plenty of room left for expansion. If either San Francisco or Cleveland were anything near as large in area as Los Angeles, their populations would be far greater, but as it is, they are smaller .and yet a city is ranked in the census according to its population, without taking anything else into account.
"Well, all this long harangue arose out of my attempt to explain why San Franciscc,. with a population of only six or seven hundred thousand, was in reality much more like a city than Los Angeles, with a population of almost two million. San Francisco has quite a presentable skyline, and lots of big buildings, and the same busy, bristling atmosphere of New York and Chicago, and an empty block is a thing to comment upon, whereas Los Angeles has no skyline, only one true skyscraper- the City Hall--(though there are many buildings about ten or twelve storeys highs, and there are almost as many empty blocks as houses. "I must tell You of our arrival in San Francisco, for it was quite exciting. While we were in Denver we got a letter from Eileen Ward—whom You probably know by hearsay by this time—saying she had just moved into an apartment. and asking us to stay with her. She also said she would meet our train. so we needn't worry about how to get to her place. etc.
The following interesting comments are extracts from a letter of Miss Constance Modit, M.A. to her parents in Perth. Miss Moffit has graduated from the National Catholic Social Service School at Washington, where she has spent the last two years specialising as a social service worker. She and Miss Norma Parker, M.A., who has done the same course, are at present employed at their special work in Los Angeles.

Well, our train was supposed to get into Oakland at 5.30 p.m., and so we had informed Eileen, but the schedule was changed, and we landed in at 4.20. Of course, there was no sign of Eileen at the station. and we thought perhaps it meant 5.30 at San Francisco, which is a full 25-minute ferry trip across the bay from Oakland. So we got on the ferry boat and went over, and landed in the famous ferry-building, which is a perfect hpla-bub of noise and excitement always—worse than the subway station at Times Square, I People rushing madly verily believe. to catch their boats—people tearing
prise to me, for I had heard a lot about San Francisco from Eileen and Miss Regan, and others who come from or had been there. I knew all about the Bay, and the Golden Gate, and the fogs for which it is renowned, and the climate (it has less variation in climate than any other city in the world, I believe—an average winter temperature of fifty-something degrees, and an average summer temperature of only sixtyodd degrees)---but no one had ever mentioned its hills to me, and in my mind they are its most characteristic feature. You never saw such long or such steep hills—and they are right in

Never were we so delighted to see She, it appeared, had gone anyone. over to Oakland to meet us at 3.30, and our ferry-boats had crossed in the bay. "Eileen has a little 'efficiency' apartment—as they are called—in a large apartment house, on Nob Ilill, so called An because the elite all live there. e fficiency apartment is one like Nellie Mac had in Cleveland—just one goodsized room, furnished as a living-room. with a bed built into the wall, a closet which also serves as a dressing-room, a bathroom, and a kitchenette-dinette. They are just big enough for one person, or two very congenial people at most. I slept on the Davenport for the three nights we spent with Eileen, and she and Norma slept in the double lied. which folds up into the wall in the day time. "San Francisco is the hilliest city I was ever in. It is built. like Rome, It was such a suron seven hills.
Just the down-town business district fancy a city whose every street almost is'as steep as Mount -street, and many of them even steeper. The street cars which go up and over the hills are all cable cars, as the ordinary electric street cars could never climb them. S, me of the hills are tunnelled, and the street cars go through them instead of over them. The apartment house in which Eileen lives is on _Nob Hill, which is a very steep hill. with a cable ( ar going up and over it one way, and a tunnel (ming through it the other way---if you know what I mean. The elevator in this apartment house, instead of only going down to the basement. went right on down, sixty feet further 'to the level of the tunnel, so you could go right down there to catch your car. It seemed to me as though all the awful steep hills in San Francisco would do a lot to complicate further the traffic problem, and that one would need to be a very good d river to manage all the ascents and descents safely, but they say there are The comparatively few accidents. brakes on all cars, however, are always tested very thoroughly. "I liked San Franciscti immensely. as I said before. It has an atmosphere all its own. Of course, its situation is -on the peninsula between the ocean and the bay-and you get some perfectly marvellous views from some of the hills. One of the days we were there, a niece of Miss Regan's took us driving all round the city, and another day a friend of Eileen's took us out, and I think they showed us everything. We drove up to the top of Telegraph Hill. from where, on a clear day, you get a glorious view of the Bats with Goat Island in the middle of it. and Oakland and Berkelv on the far side,
and San Rafael and Sansilito across the Golden Gate. The Bay is an immense stretch of water--almost twice as large as the Swan at Perth—and has all the nsual irregularities--inlets, etc.— peculiar to bays. The loveliest view of all. though, is from Twin Peaks, for as well as seeing the Bay, you get a real bird's-eye view of the city, and can also see the ocean away to the distance in the West. There are such a lot of spots in San Francisco from which one can obtain good views, either of the city or of the Bay. Most cities just have one or two spots to which visitors are inevitably taken, so that they can admire the city at its best, but from almost any road You care to take in 'Frisco You can get good views.

PERTH, SATURDAY, JANUARY 10, 1930.
Without Christianity A Supreme Court Judge—John F. Carew —some few weeks ago, in the course of an address to a large gathering of members of the Supreme Anchor Club of America, urged the support of men in public life, who are trying to check what he called the modern tide of irreligion. The organisation had gathered in the Hotel Astor, New York, for its annual Communion breakfast, and after asserting that "there had been a great breakdown of religious belief in this country," Justice Carew declared that proposals such as the Federalisation of education and "free speech on the fundamental matters of sex," were contrary to Christian principles of American government, and exemplified the type of irreligion that must be checked. • 5: The glaring characteristic of the time is to curl the lip of disdain when the conceptions of religion are put forward as a check to the licence of society. The youth of to-day resent the advice of their elders and sneer at the restrictions common to Christian family life. "Flaming Youth," ever buoyant and bounding in its ambitions and pretensions, cynically smiles at the wisdom of the elders of the world, lightly regarding it as an old crutch that carries a decayed and spent force. It is impatient of delay, pushful, daring, impetuous, and would scale the heights of Parnassus and chastise its gods. Not for modern youth are the commands of the Decalogue nor the sanctities of religion. A new culture is creeping into the world, and society, caught by its lurid glamour, follows its bewildering lights, unmindful of the abysses ahead and life's tragic disillusionments. Independence in thought, absolute freedom in action, is the common creed of the gay, debonaire adventurers who are being turned out year by year from the gilded halls of the great universities of the nations, to propagate a creed that has eliminated the Eternal One from its philosophy. Civilisation is to be altered, at least the civilisation we 'know, is to be made less exacting in its moralities and enforcements. The philosophy of Hollywood must be extended. Human nature is human nature. Why interfere with its urges? Ah, Why? The prisons and penetentiaries of the world hold the answer. The broken lives of the millions who have followed the lure of the lights that hang above the shifting swamps of uncontrolled humanism, supply a potential warning against unbridled liberty. Civilisation is organised society, the efforts of centuries of service in a disciplinary atmosphere—it is a growth from uncontrolled barbarism to ordered standards of living. It took its rise from Christianity; without it, it will collapse. • • Every crisis has its cause and effect. The hand of Providence has touched the world again and again with warning fingers, telling it in mystic ways that it is governed by the immutable laws of Creation—that man is on earth for a Divine purpose, and in fulfilment of the Creator's design. Infractions of His law and covenant must inevitably end in suffering and disaster. In every retrograde step made by humanity there follows punitive effects which tell of a supernatural and chastening force. The eternal laws of the Creator cannot be invalidated by His creatures, nor can they be violated with impish impunity without pain. disease, suffering, and death. A world without Christianity would be barbarism restored, and the restoration of barbarism would spell abomination and desolation, and the sickness of moral corruption. Secularism in education is the danger of the time. At its doors rnay, with justice, be laid the ever-growing license of youth and the disturbed conditions that are loosening the passions of society throughout the world. The alternative to religion is social chaos. • • Christianity. then, as the only authentic interpreter of religion, is the primal rock upon which rests civilisation, and only by the observance of Christian principles and precepts can civilisation be preserved. Without the savor of the Christ-Presence in the world, mankind would inevitably relapse into primitive ways— mere education alone could not protect frail human nature from becoming a prey to the beast that would rise from the ruins of Christianity.

The Pope has approved designs for the new Vatican City coinage, which will be stamped at the Italian Royal Mint. The 100 lira gold piece (worth about 22s.) will bear the effigy of the Pope. The 50 lira will portray Our Lady, whilst the other coins will also bear images and inscriptions of a sacred character.

Then some of our good anti-Papal friends might unbend and want to exchange their "wads" for good Popish money. Mgr. Jean Baptiste Leclerque, who during the war was sentencej to death by the Germans after a court-martial, has died at Tourcoing at the age of 76. Mgr. Leclerque warned his people not to give up any of their metal goods to the Germans, as they would be used to manufacture ammunition against the French. His sentence was commuted to life-imprisonment, and he was released after the Armistice. Prince Louis Pignatelli della Leonessa, of Monteroduni, Minister Plenipotentiary of the Order of Malta to the Holy See, has died in Rome. It is only a domparatively short time since the Minister presented his credentials to the Holy Father. He was taken ill shortly after, and was unable to perform any of his duties. Requiem Mass was celebrated in the Carmelite Church of St. Teresa, in the presence of the Diplomatic Corps and the officials of the Secretariate of State. Baron Herman Groebel, the head of one of the wealthiest families in Hungary during the days of the Empire, has died at Budapest at the age of 75. He entered the Catholic Church some years ago. The Barons Groebel were famous for their philanthropic activities and on their large estates provided employment in timber enterprises particularly for thousands of Jews. Nearly all the descendants of the Jewish barons in Hungary are now Catholics, not only the Barons Groebel, but also the children of Baron Koenigswarter, the family of the Barons Wodianer, of Baron Popper. of Baron Siegmund Kornfeld, at one time vice-president of the Budapest Jewish community, of Baron Orosdv, Baron Peter Herzog, and of the Barons Hatvany. Also the descendants of Baron Manfred Weisz. of Baron Schossberger. the Barons Ornstein, Guttman. Madarassy-Beck, and Herzl are Christians. Mr. Alfred O'Shea, the distingvished Australian tenor, has scored many triumphs in the music world of America. One paper referred to him as John McCormack's alter ego.

A young Korean, Peter Ryang, has been ordained to the priesthood at the Cathedral in Seoul, Korea. Father Peter Ryang speaks fluently Latin, Japanese, French, and English, as well as his native Korean. He learned his English from books, without the aid of a teacher, during recreation hours at the seminary. Right Rev. Dr. Coleman, Coadjutor Bishop of Armadale, N.S.W., who is returning to Australia after an enjoyable holiday with his aged parents at Melleray, near the famous Seminary. was entertained at a concert in Mount Melleray Seminary, last month. The Lord Abbot (Rt. Rev. Maurus O'Phelan, who introduced his Lordship to the professors and pupils, said it was the first occasion on which the students had an opportunity to meet and entertain the Bishop. Dr. Coleman said that whatever success had attended him he gladly attributed it to the monks of Melleray. In regard to the public examinations, he would be justified in claiming for that Seminary first place in all Ireland. That Seminary had been essentially one where boys were educated for the priesthood, and he hoped that it would be always so. To the ordinary curriculum had been added an agricultural course, and he was charmed to see that success had attended the venture. If God spared him for ten years it was one of the most ardent wishes of his life to live to see Ireland again, with a new generation equalling but not surpassing in physical and moral excellence those whom he now saw before him. The Lord Abbot, in thanking Dr. Coleman, said that Dr. Coleman was the seventh of an illustrious line of bishops in Australia who had received their education in Mount Melleray. Miss Reta Harrington, of Airliestreet. Cottesloe, has been awarded the Lady Hackett Mouldden prize for Latin on the results of the recent University examinations. General O'Duffy, Chief Commissioner of the Saorstat Civic Guard, announced. during his visit to Bogle recently, that legislation is about to be introduced to put an end to' the scandals which have their origin in the dance halls and other places, where all night dances are carried on throughout the Irish Free State. "Sad, indeed tragic," says an Irish newspaper, "are the stories told by some of those whose fall f rom virtue, whose ruin, shame and despair, has been the outcome of frequenting these unregulated and unsupervised sources of moral danger and contamination." These abominations have for some time been a source of grave anxiety and shame to the Bishops and priests of the Irish Free State, and General aDuffy's announcement is surely a very welcome one to them. Rev. Brother Frederic. B.A., Dip.Ed., of the Marist Brothers' College, Bendigo, and an a-student of St. Brigid's, West Perth, has been spending the vacation with his family. at 135 Charlesstreet, West Perth, and is returning to Victoria by the Manunda on the 17th. inst. Brother Frederic (in the world R. Eddy) was formerly an :altar boy at St. Brigid's, and all who knew him then will wish him the fullest measure of success in his religious calling. The 'Irish Catholic" comments on Archbishop Spence's visit to Cork, and the honour paid him by its citizens: "Cork may well be congratulated upon putting upon the roll of the City by the Lee the illustrious name of the Most Rev. Dr. Spence. Archbishop of Adelaide. South Australia. The honour done thereby to his Grace is at least equated by the honour to the roll of having his name inscribed upon it. The citizens of Cork have expressed in this matter the feelings of all Ireland towards Most Rev. Dr. Spence, for all Ireland remembers with deep gratitude the beneficent but hazardous action which he took in the dark and troublous days of the recent history of our country. His intervention—the opportunity for which appears now Providential—contributed in no small degree to bringing about the happy change in the relations between Ireland and Great Britain, the beneficent effects of which his Grace has seen with gratified eyes during his visit now coming to its close. All Catholic Ireland will share in the regret expressed by Most Rev. Dr. C,oholan, Bishop of Cork, that it will not be possible for Archbishop Spence to be in Ireland for the grand events of 1932.

Fathers Laffan and Linehan, the two Irish priests attached to St. Columban's Mission, who were seized by bandits last April, and released last month, were removed to hospital at l' lankow, on arrival there.

So one morning, brushing the sleep from their eyes, they one after another yawned and dressed and went out into the streets of the city and started a revolution.

OUR BUSHIES SCHEME
The more we live the more we realise that nothing succeeds so well as an honest, healthy growl. A diet of honey grows very insipid when unvaried. Continued compliments leave us inert, inactive, and satisfied. One of the decisions that made Augustine the scholar Augustine the saint, was made during his Milanese years, Having made his name in that city as a teacher of rhetoric, his friends urged him to take unto himself a wife that would bring him a handsome dower. A magistrate, married and rich—three -honourable and desirable estates to which it would not be over-difficult to reach. Had Augustine accepted that practical advice, he would have become a worthy and useful member of society, and in the end, such is the ossifying action of habit, would have been quite satisfied with himself. But the true Augustine would have died, and no one would have remembered that he lived. By relinquishing the tempting_ease of the smooth plains of life, Augustine the scholar became Augustine the saint, whose name we invoke to-day with love and veneration. So with us, it is necessary to hurl a stone into the complacent waters of our lives, that we may be goaded out of our natural desire for ease. Our growls have had a rich harvest, which we acknowledge with gratitude. The following donations will help us to meet the expenses of the Summer Schools at Wagin, just finished, and of the others now in session, Esperance, Albany, Denmark, Busselton, Manjimup, Bridgetown, and Pinjarra. Money will still be needed to follow on with the correspondence classes during the years: £5, from Mr. James Fanning, the Irish College, Rome: Mrs. Williamson, £1 Is; A Friend, £1 Is; "Townie,' lOs.; A Friend, 10s: 10s. from The McGillicuddys, who write: "This has been so long coming, but it has taken a long time to save, being made up of nearly all half-pennies."

Death of Marshal Joffre With the opening of the new Year, France went into mourning for the death of her eminent son, Cesaire Joseph Jacques Joffre, who was Commander-in.Chief of her armies in the Great War during the two terrible years, 191517. His death was announced on the 3rd. inst.. after a period of suffering which the heroic old Marshal of France bore with philosophic patience and Christian resignation. His end was peaceful. Before falling into his last sleep, he whispered, as he would have said after one of his battles, counting o ver the events of a hard clay's fighting. "Things are not going too badly." He had received the consolations of his Catholic Faith before shutting his eyes upon A world in which he had played no insignificant part, and on France, to which he had given patriotic and splendid service. No pomp or panoply of greatness marked his passing. The man who saved France on the Marne lay like a simple soldier, in a plainly furnished room, on a plain iron bedstead, in a nursing home, with folded hands, taking his long last rest. Like his great predecessor, Marshal Foch, his passing was in keeping with his great soldierly attainments. The French Minister for War will deliver the funeral oration: he has sent an Order of the Day to the Army announcing the Marshal's death, adding: "Joffre saved France on the Marne, where he broke all the efforts of the enemy. His strength of soul, indomitable energy, and continuous enthusiasm, ensured final victory." But to the dead soldier and leader. what matters now praise or blame? He hears them not, or at least he may not thrill to his, country's applause or resent the harshness of unjust criticism. All is quiet on his front now--eternal silence envelops his last mortal dwelling place —he has gone to keep a long bivouac with the men of his nation who have been acclaimed immortal. Disappointed hopes were his, and, maybe, during the jedious hours of illness, he had

learned how slender was the thread which held human applause and its object together. His life could scarcely be called a great success, and many things conspired to embitter his reflections. The light on glory's plume is not permanent, as the great men of history have learned—and we hope the old warrior closed his eyes to the world with peace in his soul. The little crucifix at the head of his bed may, perhaps, have •brought him a contented rest. Peace be to him. He had lived a long time—at 78 he died with the dirge of a nation for his requiem.

Western Australia put up a very meritorious performance in their first Interstate Carnival. They defeated Victoria. but went under to New South Wales and South Australia. The match against New South Wales was lost by the narrow margin of two rubbers. which might easily have gone our way, as we lost four rubbers on the third set.

What the future holds in store no one can tell; but if day by day we try to make the world happier and brighter by kind words, deeds, and smiles, we will not have lived in vain. There is enough sorrow and trouble in this weary worka-day world without one adding to the quota of burdens. Help one another, sink old quarrels and differences, let bygones be bygones, and instead of trying to crush one another, try the We different principle of uplifting. are not put on earth to crush each other: if we do, we are not following the example of the Divine Master, whose words were not to "forgive seven times, but seventy times seven."

A very enjoyable new year's eve party was a surprise party arranged by about fifty of the friends of Miss Pat Davies, and held at her parents' home at Mt. Lawley. The spacious dining room was cleared for dancing, and a delicious supper, supplied by Mrs. Taylor, was served on the back lawn, specially illuminated for the occasion. Music was supplied by Jack Nit-e's orchestra. Mr. J. R. Campbell thanked the organisers on behalf of Miss Davies. for the delightful evening, and Mr. C. Bannon proposed the t oast of Miss Davies parents, to which Mr. Davies responded.

In sonic of the new dresses the Tudor influence is bein: shown, especially in the sleeves of light woollen materials. In one of these models the sletvt is fairly tight-fitting, and the cuff is trimmed to match the huge bolster-like collar.

Some smart t wo-piece frocks have uncommon t ouches in the self insets on the sleeves and pockets. The straight stitched' collar is also notable, as well as the dainty tuckings on the back. The ‘kirt has a stitched wrap at the side, :Ind can be worn with a tuck-in-blouse. A frock of dark brown crepe de chine is on view in a window. The cut is demure and severely plain, the relieving touch consisting of deep cuffs and a wide collar of shell-pink pleated chiffon.

The safest rule for buying economically at t he sales is to buy only what is absosultely necessary. It is a grave mistake to buy material simply because it is cheap and may come in later on. Unless there is an immediate use for t he material, it is simply throwing money away that might be saved or spent far more usefully. There are no points to be gained in a reckless orgy of buying, or buying for the simple reason that an article is cheap. Have you seen some of' the new china ornaments? They are quite

Then there is something new in the way of flower-holders, in the form of jolly blue kingfishers sitting on a log. The birds look quaint and pretty peeping out between the flowers. A dainty, clean, and attractively set-out table adds to the charm of well-cooked meals. Cretonne is coming greatly into fayour again for house decoration, and for your own room or a guest room, what can be more charming or in better taste than curtains, bedspread, cushions in remarkable clarity and beautiful blooms of colour. If the walls w ere tinted a deep cream. vieux rose linoleum, and vieux rose ground cretonne, what a charming room it would be to retire to when one desired rest and tranquillity from household worries. Try and have the rooms not too sombre, but cheerful. Eyen a kitchen in a home can be made attractive. In a cosy home in Perth there is such a pretty kitchen, and the whole effect has been carried out by the busy wife and mother. The walls have been tinted a warm. pinky beige colour, and gaily tinted modern cretonne to match is used for tablecloth and curtains. The lino. is a blue ground with pinky flowers. ?he woodwork is painted blue to match the floor covering. Then the little kitchen tray, chairs, End china were painted to match a pretty blue ornamented with pink rambling roses. You could hardly call it a kitchen. as the actual cooking was done in a little kitchenette adjoining; but it certainly could be called a dainty breakfast-room. Dresser, window sills, painted blue, made the whole a room where meals could be enjoyed in comfort. A cold-looking room can be made to look warm and cosy with orange-red tones in floor-covering, cur. tains, and furniture, especially if the walls are tinted pale-gold relieved with brown. An artistic home is half the battle, and costs no more, and very often less, than a home used to house furniture only. A home should be a cheerful resting place, a place to be proud of, a place where friends delight to gather and are welcome.

A Remarkable French Priest 50th. Anniversary of His Death, The Fathers of the Assumption celebrated last month the 50t1 anniversary of the death of Pere d'Alzon, their founder, and first Superior General. Born in 1810, he was ordained a priest in 1834, and died in 1880. Devotion to the Church was the characteristic of his life and is the spirit of the Order which he founded. Pere d'Alzon's intense zeal led him to found many good works, chief amongst these being the organisation of "La Bonne Presse," from the publications issued by which all classes of society find matter for instruction, for edification, for sanctification, and for wholesome and reposeful recreation. The Sovereign Pontiff has addressed a letter to the present Superior-General of the Assumptionists, in which his Holiness says that he desires to take part in a commemoration which will cause to shine with a new brilliancy that device so dear to Pere d'Alzon and his spiritual children, "Adveniat Regnum Tuum"—"Thy Kingdom Come." That device, which harmonises so well with "The Peace of Christ in the Kingdom of Christ," is the cry of every soul redeemed by the waters of Baptism, and the Founder of the As.sumptionists so well knew how to interpret it by his works that one might say that he lived for that Kingdom and for its extension. The Holy Father likewise says that the good priest did all he could by his alumnates to protect youth from the many dangers which multiply on the journey through life, and that he hop-
ed by the establishment of the Work of Our Lady of Vocations to put into the hearts of the young the flame of a zeal which would inspire them to save others. Pope Pius XI. draws attention in his letter to the care and interest Pere d'Alzon took in the working classes, striving to safeguard them from the dangers of ignorance and irreligion. The Pontiff refers to the organisation of pilgrimages by Pere d'Alsoa and to his work for the return of the separated Churches of the East—above all his desire for the formation of a native clergy. The Holy Father concludes the letter by according the Apostolic Blessing to the Assumptionist Fathers and to all their works. The letter is signed by his Eminence Cardinal Pacelli.

India Tolerant of Catholicity Mistaken Impression Given of Unrest. Rao Bahadur Pannir SeIvan, one of the delegates to the AU-India Round Table Conference, addressed a big gathering of the Students' University Mission Circle, at the headquarters of the Association for the Propagation of the Faith, London, on the Catholic situation in India. Dr. Margaret Lamont gave a vivid lecture based on her medical experiences.in India, China, and Africa, and among other interesting facts mentioned that there were to-day in India 200 Indian Catholic women doctors as well as a much bigger number of Indian medical men. Rao Bahadur SeIvan paid an impressive tribute to the educational activities in India of the Jesuit Fathers, and declared that it was to them that the high standard of Indian education was primarily due. He stressed the fact that the Indian temperament was, on the whole, tolerant, and that the Hindu would tolerate Catholicity in others, though not in his own kith tnd kin. The great aim of the Catholics was to obtain the assurance that in the future they would have the privilege of conducting their own schools and carrying on other allied work with the same freedom and facilities hitherto en. foyed. It was possible that in the future Catholic institutions might be threatened, and it was therefore desirable that some arrangements should be made whereby they could get a. measure of They representation on the Council. hoped, therefore, to be able to devise some method whereby the interests of Catholicity should be safeguarded. That was not an easy task amongst a population of which ninety-five per cent, were pagan and, it would be very difficult for Catholics to be in any way adequately represented. He said that there was a mistaken impression as regarded the unrest in Conditions were not by any India. means as unsettled as the Press here would lead them to suppose. The proportion of followers of Gandhi was really very small, and his appeal was chiefly to the imagination of the masses. India. on the whole, was peaceably in. There was indeed a certain dined amount of political agitation. as was the ease with most countries to-day. There was also, however, a considerable section Which desired to advance and fin self-government by constitutional means only. He would remind the audience.

He declared that there are Catholics who decline to accept Pope Leo XIII.'s Encyclical on the condition of the working classes, characterising the teaching of His Holiness as Socialism, and he complained that Catholics sometimes treat as fanatics people who try to make them think. The Cardinal Archbishop dealt with Father McNabb's speech in his opening remarks. "Father McNabb has given us an immense amount to think about," said 'His Eminence, "but I do not think you ought to go away in a spirit of discouragement. We are living in extraordinarily complicated times; times so complicated that no one, even the wisest among us, can really see the issue. "There is a great deal going on that we must lament and deplore, but we must not forget that there are in this country thousands—hundreds of thousandds—of earnest people really trying to do their best to set things right; earnest people not only inside but outside the Catholic Church.

His Eminence said he thought the i‘son Father McNabb wished to bring out wss that each individual should do his best. No one individual could do very much.

Enemies of Their Own Children His Lordship Dr. Shine, Bishop of Manchester, England, in a recent review of the Church's activities in his diocese in the building of churches and schools, points with pleasure to the fact that the attendance at Mass in the diocese is 30,000, and to the fact that the diocese has more than fifty ecclesiastical students: but he condemns the conduct of certain parents. On new schools, and extensions to schools alone, His Lordship states, some £40,000 is being spent. Recording the attendance at Sunday Mass, he writes: "It is certainty gratifying to know that so many men, women and children remember their God, worship Him on His own day, and correspond with His graces for But one cannot but their salvation. be solicitous for the many who, unfortunately, forget or ignore God, and are untouched by His warnings and unmoved by His appeals. . .

"The enemy also is the environment of irreligion. the pagan atmosphere that so obscures God and is unfavourable to spiritual life. It is sad to see the faith dwindle and die even in one soul. "The knowledge that many succumb to the deadly influence of evil example and infidelity should arouse all who value the Faith and hope for eternal life, to do what lies in their power to safeguard Catholic Truth and counter those pernicious elements that make for destruction."

HOME, SWEET HOME "Mid cottages and palaces, wherever we may roam, Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home. GOD DOES NOT FORGET. The world will strip your failings, And hide the good you do, And with its sharpest thorns The ways you walk bestrew; You'll toil for men; they'll cure you4Twas thus, and thus 'tis yet, And thus 'twill be forever, But God does not forget. The hours of silent grieving, For some one loved and lost, The hours of self-denial, ('Twere hard to count their cost) The falling soul uplifted, The sorrows bravely met, All are on earth forgotten— But God does not forget. His eye is ever seeking The 'wee things" done for Him, And they shall light the shadows Where Death waits, stern and grim; So, lift your burden gladly, Nor falter, fear, nor fret, For Heaven is in the distance, And God does not forget. —BRIAN O'HIGGINS. WORDS OF WISDOM. Nothing is impossible to intelligent industry, and a man with an ideal. Life is made up of roads. Have you chosen yours, or are you idly following any course that looks inviting for the hour? Catholics must go as well as know. A signpost points in the right direction, but it never goes on to the goal. It is so sweet to serve the good God in the night of trial; we have only this life to live by faith —The Little Flower. He who resigns himself completely to the will of God fears neither death nor anything which may happen to him. Let your diligence in preserving or in cleansing the conscience of others come after that of your own. All who set not their minds on this world are accounted fools; but who will be the merrier in the world that is to come. The friend of God must be as a little child, as the Gospel tells us, and when the soul is quiet there is no difficulty in knowing what must be done. Just as the sight of God will be pleasing to His elect, and give them great joy, so will it be appalling to the reprobate, and terrible in its effects upon them. I wish you could conquer your sensitive self-love, which takes from you the light of reason, and makes you love the world and your children beyond measure.—St. Catherine of Siena. Mary is always willing to help us when we are her disciples. The devotion of Catholics to the Mother of God is one of the glories of the Church. Mary is at all times interested in our spiritual and temporal needs. By whatever rough or obscure path we may be led, let us close our weak eyes to see only by the eyes of that Wisdom which nothing escapes. And if we open them, let it be only to fix them with loving fidelity on that aborable Wisdom that is called Jesus. God sought in pain will not be an unrecognised God when possessed in joy. -JESUS OUR MODEL. If we wish to understand what true virtue is, we must contemplate it in Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ; He is our one great Example; He gave Himself for us for that reason; He was made Man that holiness might be sensible and palpable to us. All sanctity which is not formed and modelled on His sanctity is false: it is displeasing to God: it may perhaps deceive men. but it is useless for Heaven. Let us, then, make Jesus Christ our study; and ,that we may know Him thoroughly, and express His life in ourselves, let us continually ask His for light and grace.—Grou. FOR MEN IN THE WORLD. The Beatitudes lift man up to God and then force him to turn back again to the world from whose fascination and power he is set free, to help it They are the laws and to bless it. of life, not of a solitary ascetic living as a hermit who, if such a thing were possibue, seeks his own sanctification regardless of the welfare of his brethhen. No. they are the laws of life, of men who live and move and have their being amongst their fellow-creatures, who make the world the better and men the happier for their existence. who cannot ignore or forget others, who, having found the key to happiness for themselves, have found it for others also.—Maturin.

ENEMIES OF MAN. Evil habits are certainly the most dangerous enemies of man; for they are rooted in his own nature. As moths and insects multiply in the darkest corners, so the root of bad habits is to be found in the lusts of a depraved nature; they are Satan's allies and auxiliaries, and traitors in our own camp, who open the doors to the enemy; they are the parasitical, clinging plants, which sap our strength and hinder the growth and progress of all that is good. Apparently harmless, they creep in on us; the charm of novelty, the enjoyment of an unguarded moment, or the sudden surprise of an occasion of sin coming on us opens up an entrance for them. Where a strong will, a deep abhorrence of sin, and, above all, the conquering grace of God are wanting wherewith to drive out the enemy, he will most certainly fix his quarters firmly, grow like a parasite and surfeit himself, feeding on what is most precious to us, wasting, sullying and spoiling all—S. Von Oer, O.S.B. "GOD KNOWS ME." A woman, poorly dressed, presented herself in the sacristy of the Basilica of Montmartre, and asked to see the superior of the chaplains. From her appearance he thought her to be in need. She offered him a coarse envelope, in which Father Lemius found five bills of a thousand francs each. "It is for your work," said the woman. "They are my sayings during t wen ty years." He asked her name and address. "All that is useless," she replied. "God knows me well, and that is enough." So saying, she took her leave. "MIRABILE DICTU." The God of Might In weakness born! A wondrous thing! In childhood finds At Mary's breast His strengthening! The God of all Knew earthly need! The Lord and king Who suffered thirst Himself becomes Our nourishing! The God of Love Whose endless praise All angels sing. Gives mortals life By seeking death In suffering!

with us. But there will never come into our hearts at such a time a single pang of regret over any word of impulsive or deliberate affection which passed our lips at any time. We have reason to be on our guard in most directions; but we can be fearlessly free in our loving utterances. Apart from any question of the good we do to others by our words of love, we are personally the gainers, for now and for hereafter. THE MYSTIC ROSE. Mary is very appropriately represented under the symbol of a rose. For as the rose is the queen of flowers, so the Blessed Virgin is the Queen of the angels and saints, who may be called the flowers of God's creation. Oh, how gracefully buds the rose on the thorny stem, and yet has in itself no prickles, and spreading its sweet and pleasing odor! It is not improbably thought that in the neighbourhood of Jericho the rose reaches its greatest beauty and perfection. As the rose springs from a thorny stem, and yet has in inself no prickles, but is all smooth and fair, and pleasing to the eye, so Our Lady, although sprung from a race infected by Oriental sin, was smooth and fair by grace, and free from the thorns of guilt. St. John Damescene sees in the thorns with which the stem of the rose is covered, a figure of the Jewish people. "Oh Rose," he exclaims, "spring from the thorns—that is from the Jews—thou hast spread abroad thy heavenly odor!" Of this heavenly Rose, Sedulius wrote elegantly. To translate his Latin verse: "As on a thorny stem the rose buds sweet and fair, Not knowing how to wound, Its origin ignores; So from Eve's sinful race comes Mary Virgin rare, Who. pure and innocent, man's former lot restores." St. Bernard, in the same sense, making a comparison between Mary and Eve, says: "Eve was born, Mary rose. Eve;, proved herself a thorn by the wounds she inflicted, Mary a rose by assuaging our evils. Eve was a thorn, attracting death to all; Mary a rose, restoring to us our happy lot." CONFIDENCE IN PRAYER.
therefore, we know that He longs to Yet, how come to our assistance. often do we approach Him as though He were some hard Taskmaster, some far-away, terrible busy Deity, who may or may not listen to our petitions! We allow our own small mean way of looking at things to blind our eyes to the beauty of His omnipotent eternal love; His perosnal love for each individual soul. HOPE. God is not only powerful and wise!' He is also good; in fact, He is the sum-total and source of all goodness. It is His express wish that we should regard and treat Him as our Father in the fullest and truest sense of the word. In order to reopen the gates of heaven to us, He was pleased to become incarnate and to be led like a lamb to His voluntary crucithe slaughter. fixion tells mors plainly than any words what idea He intends us to conceive of His attitude towards us. He who has brought us back from the bondage of Satan at the price of His Blood assuredly will not leave a single stone unturned to see us through to the finish with the work of our salvation. God does His part by lavishing upon us graces which enlighten the understanding and fortify the will, without treqpassing upon the perfect liberty of choice with which He has endowed us, and by the proper use of which He intends us to serve Him and to save souls. We are not mere passive recipients of grace. We must, so to cpeak, put out a hand and lay hold— in a word, we must co-operate. There is no possibility of God abandoning us, but there is considerably more than the shadow of a chance of our abandoning Him. It is on account this danger that St. Paul exhorts us to work out our salvation "with fear and -trembling" (Phil. ii.. 12). The more you trust God and mistrust yourself, the less ground will you have for being apprehensive about your perseverance to the end. Cling closely to God. Who alone never changes and never turns His face away from you. BRYANT & WATERS 80 to 90 STIRLING ST PERTH WOOD & COAL MERCHANTS

One or two of the Ghouls joined .them. "Who chaperons to-night?" asked Madalen, conscious that Max was looking at her speculatively, also conscious that she was at her best in a brown velvet coat that made her hair flame and her eyes jewels.

Max, recalling a speech of Maclalen's about Southern gallantry, hastened to Constance's side and offered an arm, which was accepted with a sigh of relief, for Constance was feeling rather out of her element. notwithstanding her acquaintance with the Ghouls. As yet they puzzled her, and she delighted them. Madalen, with a curious glance at the t wo, hesitated, then took the arm of the chaperon. said something in her ear that made her laugh aloud, and they walked rapidly ahead. They were joined by several men a few 'squares from the college. "Say," said Madalen, "where is Frederick the Great to-night?" "Oh! he sends regrets." said one of the men: "he's pegging away at some beastly composition for the Competitive. We told him he was an ass—but he lighted the fire of genius just as we left." "We'll go and put it out!" was the immediate chorus, with a recitative from Madalen of 'Oh. if ye only had a hand-organ!" Constance was more bewildered than entertained. "Say." cried another, "let's stop at the Med., and rout out Fremont. He's gloating over some hideous specimen up in the dissecting room. You ought to see it." "Good.- said one of the girls, a slip of a thing with soft brown eves. "I've always wanted to go there." "Where are you going, my pretty ghoul?" began her escort, when Max called out impatiently: "Not to-night; we are late as it is. It is nearly eight." "What's on at Beeth's at eight, anyhow?" inquired the chaperon. "Been napping, Susan?" said the young fellow with her. "Why, it's Agnes Daily's turn about in 'Orange Blotams.— "The one they call 'Agnus Dei• because"--the rest of the sentence was i irowned in the shriek of laughter that followed. Constance gripped Max by the arm and stopped short. He faced about. "Well." he said coolly. "what is it?" "I do not like this. What is Fleeth's, Mr. St. Quentin?" "A very beautiful place. where the very 'best people go to see, hear, and enjoy the very worst things." "And you want to take me there?" Her voice descending struck a scale of emotion and indignation. Something seemed to stifle her. Max looked at her satirically, for he was vexed with himself. You wanted to "I never said so. go, and I am perfectly willing to take You." "Perfectly willing?" she said, aghast He hesitated. then added: "It is absurd to take such high atoral grounds at this age of the world. Beeth's is not the pit of perdition by any means. There are other places. You are out of your century, Una." The ghouls had disappeared round the corner. The sound of their jeering laughter floated back. A woman, tall, clothed in black, pass. ed the two and ascended the flight of stone steps at the foot of which they stood. The electric light fell upon her face as she went up. "Oh, Mr. St. Quentin." whispered Constance sharply, "look. look! There goes Mme. Bonnemorte, my grandmother. What on earth is she doing here? I de not understand." She gazed, seized with a trembling. Suddenly, through the brilliant windows of the Cathedral. a flood of harmony rushed upon the night, then ceased. "Come," said Constance, ascending the steps also. "Come." She beckoned her companion, who hesitated for an instant, then followed, dipping his finger mechanically in the font at'the door. Constance advanced up the aisle ob. nylons of those about her, still in pursuit of the black-robed figure who

As he bent his knee beside her she again averted her eyes. The figure was gone. Max gazed at her pure profile, the shadowy lashes brushing her cheek, and his heart swelled with an emotion so violent, so overpowering, that tears enlarged his eyes. The meaning of art, of life, of death—of all that was glorious and wonderful in the world— expanded within him. The voice from the altar ceased, the splendid diapason of the organ rolled through aisle and columned arch. The many-voiced choir chanted triumphant1 , "Magnificat anoma mca, Dominurn"; his spirit cried out in jubilant response. Far different was Constance's feeling. Max had followed her, but she had followed the shadow to him invis• ible; and when she found that it had vanished, a cold sense of the supernatural chilled her blood. She left the church as in a dream, trembling as with an ague. Max observed her with deep concern as they regained the street, and took her hand with the eager question: "What is it? Are you ill? What do you see?" For her expanded eyes were fixed upon the space before them. "Did you not see her? - she replied— "Mme. Bonnemorte? I followed her to the very foot of the altar, and she was not there." "Constance." said St. Quentin sharply, "you are dreaming, child. I saw no one." "Let us go at once to the college." she exclaimed. "Come, come!" She put a hand upon his arm, and they hastened away. She left him at the college entrance. and went to the general office, walking in upon a group with pale faces poring over a telegram. She took it from the preceptress. "It is mine. I know." she said quietly. Only a line:— "Your grandmother very ill. Come at once." In an hour's time she was on the train for the South. She roused herself as the coach began to move, and held out a hand. "Thank you, Mr. St. Quentin, and good-bye." "Do you think I could let you go alone?" he said quietly. "I shall not annoy you with my presence, but I shall he near you if you want any. t hing." It was too late to object. At Rulerton her s father met her. "I know." she said wanly. "she is dead." "No. she is not," he answered quickly. "she wants to see yeu." And the sick woman held out her yearning arms, into which her darling crept, with "Constance! My Constance!" in her ears. Max saw her once only before his going back. She seemed suddenly remote. He.could find nothing to say to her. He would have given much to remain in Ruierton for a, while, but his work recalled him imperiously. "You are not coming back?" he asked bluntly. She shook her head. "Never. never." "What, then?" "I do not know just yet. . . . Goodbye." When he reached St. Botolph he went to see Magdalen. She looked curiously at him. "Hast seen ghosts?" "Ruierton, in the South, is full of them." "With truth. But better ghosts than ghouls." "We can change the name." "Not on my account" "Which means--" "That I am going to Paris." "When and why?" "At once, and because I am wasting m y time and talent here." "Ah—vctur talent?" "I did not say genius." Madalen turned her piquant face aside suddenly. She understood at once, and realised at the same time that she loved him and had lost him— for ever. In another moment she was smiling brightly. "T think you are wise," she said, holding out a hand. "Good.bye." Then maliciously: "I have forgotten my geography. How far is Ruierton hem the Rue St. Genevieve?" "As far as the, North Pole is from the South." "Ah! but that is fortunate. We know how often extremes meet in this world." And she flashed her sly green eyes at him, showed her rows of pretty teeth, and was gone. He looked down a t his hand. "I feel as if she had bitttn me," he thought, biting his own lip.

The "tenderfoot" whispered indignantly to another onlooker: "Did you see that?" "What?" asked the other. "That swindler dealt himself four aces!" "Waal," was the astonished reply. "wasn't it his deal?" • • • A farm girl was milking a cow when a bull tore across the meadow towards her. The girl did not stir, but continued milking. Observers who had run into safety saw, to their astonishment, that the bull stopped dead within a few yards of the girl, turned round, and went away sadly. "Weren't you afraid? Why did he run away?" asked everyone. "He was scared- said the girl. "This cow is his mother-in-law!" A Scotch divine took one of his parishioners to task for his non-attendance at kirk. The man said: "I dinna like lang sermons." The parson, with some wrath. replied: "John, Yell dee, and go to a place where ye'll not have the privilege of hearing long or short sermons." "That may be,- said John, "but it winna be for lack of parsons." One morning. while passing some gardens. I saw a boy about six years old picking weeds.
"I expect Your dad has promised you something if you get all the weeds out to-day," I said to him. The boy looked up and replied, scornfully: "That's where you're wrong. He's promised me something if Idon't." Militarists tell us that to have safety from war we must have large armies. This policy reminds me of Mrs. Suburbs. Mr. Suburbs had been attending a dinner, at which the Duke was not present, and when he let himself in at 2 o'clock in the morning, Mrs. Suburbs shrieked wildly from the head of the stairs: "I don't know whether you're my husband or a burglar, but anyhow I'm going to be on the safe side and shoot!" A shepherd was sleeping' peacefully through a thunderstorm one night. His wife, however, was trembling with fear, and as flash after flash and peal after Yeal filled the valley around them, she seized the shepherd and shook him violently. "John. John," she cried. "the last day has come!" Johns eyes opened slowly, and in a sarcastic tone he demanded, "Wha ever heerd o the last day in the meedle the nicht?"
