eZI ANOTHER CHURCH HISTORV. From Benziger Bros., 36-38 Barclaystreet, New York, we have received a Church History written as a text-book for secondary schools. The text covers in 620 pages the story of God's Church from its foundation to the present day. There are illustrations, maps, charts, tables and index to assist the The format of the book students. leaves nothing to be desired. The history is well laid out, each page carries arresting headings to guide the stuThe dent through its paragraphs. chapters conclude with some hints for further study which indicate pertinent references that may be used by the There are some general teachers questions that send the pupils back over the chapter foraging for an answer. In this aspect of his work, the author, Father Laux, would have improved this useful feature if he sought some suggestions from Belloc's "Eye Witnesses of History." In that delightful little volume I3elloc recreates the atmosphere of the event, making us see it through the eyes and prejudices of an eye-witness. History, especially Sacred, as irt Old Testament, leaves the average student with a sense of unreality—people and events strike him as portraits of a past that is dead and done with it. The children miss much unless they are able to project their minds back into the actual circumstances of that day, and not to look back through spectacles fashioned of to-day. We fail, as teachers ot history, religious and secular, unless we direct our pupils how to paint the scenes with their imagination. The questions at the end of the chapter could easily include ones such as these—v.g,, to face the illustration on page 453, "Edmund Campion being led to prison." Imagine yourself as one of that crowd, and picture what you saw, and narrate what you heard. Our teachers of the advanced classes have now a number of suitable textbooks on Church History to select from. We have already reviewed in these columns: "The Student's Church History"—Hart (B. 0. and W.) ; "A Book of Church History"—Connington (Longmans, Green, Ltd.). This latest addition is worthy of a trial in our schools.

Eleabthona jogged along as all good asses do, Joseph led her bridle-rope, she bore the holy Two; Soft cried the desert sands, "wherefore are these Three?" "Hush!" replied the angels, "a heavenly Company." Joseph drooped with weariness, the desert sands were hot; Where for a resting-place could they find a spot? The birds had their warm nest, the fox a hole for bed, But the little Lamb of God had not where to lay His Head. Eleabthona stopped short as tired asses will, Night had come on and the stars were quiet and still: All was so silent, no oasis and no tree, Broke the strange surrounding and wierd monotony. Yet was that not a cry—someone in pain? "Joseph," called Mary, "I hear it again." "Naught but your thoughts you hear, peace, and Sleep!" said Saint Joseph, "your fears give you alarm."

Latest China Victim; Thirtieth in Seven Years Rome. -Father Mark Ho, Chinese priest of the Prefecture Apostolic of Hupeh Province. China, whose death by strangulation at the hands of brigands is announced in a Fides cable from Shanghai, December 12, becomes the 30th. victim of China's unrest in the last seven years. The list includes eight Belgians, seven Italians, five Chinese, three Americans, three Frenchmen, two German, one Spaniard, and one Irish. Details concerning the two Chinese priests, Father Matthew Kin and Paul Cheng, killed by Communists at Kianfu, ICiangsi Province, October 13, following the wholesale capture of priests and sisters, reveal that both the victims had suffered also in the persecutions during the Boxer Rebellion of 1900. Father Matthew Kin, who was 69 years old. had been ordained eight years, when the Boxer Rebellion broke. and it was to his care that the Vicariate was entrusted when the foreign clergy had to flee. On the return of tie Bishop, Father Kin was extremely valuable in treating with the Government regarding indemnities. He was especially well read and on good terms with mane Chinese savants. his last known words, spoken to a Christian who brought him some food on October 12, the day before his death, are tragically suceint: "To-morrow it will be useless to come, because I have been condemned to death by the Corn-

DUBLIN CONGRESS, 1932

The advance programme of the 31st. International Eucharistic Congross to be held in Dublin on June 22-26, 1932, has reached us. Under / this heading we shall publish each week some particulars of the arrangements being made in Dublin to celebrate an event that will attract to Erin's shores mazy members of the mighty family of the Irish race scattered all over the world. In 1932 Ireland will also commemorate the 15th. hundred anniversary of the coming of St. Patrick, who landed ..-.............--...-..... .....- on its soil in 432.) .-.o_... THE ARCHBISHOP OF DUBLIN, Primate of Ireland. The present Archbishop of Dublin, the Most Rev. Edward J. Byrne, was When born in Dublin in May, 1870. a boy at Belvedere College, he won the highest distinctions at the Intermediate Examinations. In 1887 he entered Clonliffe College to study for the priesthood, and at the early age of nineteen years took his Arts degree with honours in the Royal University. In 1892 he proceeded to Rome and gained many distinctions at Propaganda. He was ordained in Rome in 1895, and returning to Ireland entered upon that long and most varied mis. sionary career that meant so much to him in his after life. He served in such widely different centres as Howth, Rollestown, Blackrock and Marlborough Street, aim there is no doubt that it was the experiences of those days that are responsible for his present remarkably ripe administrative judgment, and that created in him those strong missionary interests that have characterised his episcopate from the beginning. In the year 1901 there came to him a call which was not altogether pleasing to him, as it meant at least temporary separation from the work he loved. lie was asked to proceed to Rome to take up the duties of ViceRector of the Irish College. The call was certainly providential. We see now how important it was as a preparation for his later work. There was so much to be gained in Rome that could not be had elsewhere—a broad culture, wide ecclesiastical interests, the mentality that comes of contact with the congregations, and above all, loyalty, virile and mature, to the traditions and record of the Church, He and to the Chair of St. Peter. stayed in Rome only a couple of years. At his own wish he was allowed to return to the mission. But when he left Rome it was evident to all that much had come to him during his sojourn in the Eternal City. His missionary work now lay in the busy parish of Marlborough Street, and he took up at once as his special avocation the care of the large men's sociality attached to the pro-Cathedral. In that sodality we have the origin and explanation of all that most devoted love for the working-men of Dublin, and zeal for their interests, for which his episcopate will always be remembered. In the year 1920 the Archbishop, Dr. Walsh, whose health was failing, reIle solved to look for an assistant. consulted his Chapter, and there was no surprise, indeed the result had long been anticipated, when their choice, fully confirmed by the Archbishop, fell on the young curate, Father Byrne. Ile was consecrated Bishop at the Pro' Cathedral on 28th. October, 1920, and the next year, on the death of Dr. Walsh, succeeded him as Archbishop. There is no need to speak of his career in the period that followed. Quietly and unobtrusively, for that is his way, he has worked for Church and people. He was a guiding light to his the flock in the difficult years of twenties, disturbed as they were by war, civil dissension, and turmoil of various kinds. In one of his Philippics Cicero complained, or rather boasted, that "no man has in those twenty years been the enemy of the State without declaring war on me also." For our Archbishop we can make the obverse claim that, though touching the public life of the country at many points in the most difficult period of Ireland's history, he never made an enemy. Of his work for the Church it is hardly necessary to speak. The trek of the Irish people citywards has meant an enormous increase in the Whole towns population of Dublin. have sprung tip along our city boundary, where only a few years ago there were fields and wooded uplands. But it is the Archbishop's life-long principle that where the people go. there the priest should follow, Accordingly we now find those new populous centres fully supplied with churches and schools all designed to suit the grow ing needs of the people. But of grander things than the ordinary working church he has also had The existing Pro-Cathedral a care. has been renovated and enlarged, whilst it was with pride that the people heard only a couple of months ago
of the splendid site that has been secured for a future cathedral worthy of the city of Dublin. Lastly, we are now preparing for the Eucharistic Congress in Ireland— mainly the Archbishop's inspiration. The labours that devolve on him in this connection only those in close touch with him can know. Day after day the immense problem of organising this huge undertaking is being faced. The Archbishop has many willing helpers, but the ultimate decisions, many of them of a momentous nature, devolve on him. Let us hope and earnestly pray that these labours may be rewarded: and that, through God's blessing, this great work may be brought to perfect accomplishment.— Outline of Provisional Programme, Sunday, June 12:— General Communion for women throughout Ireland.

Hoyts Capitol Theatre John McCormack, the Eminent Irish Tenor, in "Song o' My Heart," The world's greatest tenor, who stars in Hoyts Capitol's extended season attraction, "Song o' My Heart," which is being presented to capacity audiences, is to-day doing for song in Great Britain and America what Dante did for literature in Italy, and what Spencer did for literature in England. There are no indifferent audiences when John McCormack audiMcCormack sings. ences are composed of the really cultured men and women of the communities where he appears, who listen spellbound, while a great artist sings great songs and proves to them that an artist and a song may be great without being mysterious. ' Actuated by the thought that it would be a physical impossibility for McCormack, within the span of years allotted to him, to appear in all
he rarely fails to include it as an encore during his concert programmes, is a composition of Charles Marshall, with lyrics by Harold Hartford. "Rose of Tralee" is a Clover-Ditson number. "Song o' My Heart" is the story of a broken romance, which mars the life of McCormack, a young and ambitious singer, in Ireland. The girl, Alice Joyce, marries another, becomes the mother of a boy and girl, and is deserted by the husband. In after years, McCormack appears in concerts in Ameica, is a success, and is booked from coast to coast, but, on the opening night of his concert tour, he has a strange premonition that something is wrong across the seas. After the concert he learns that his former sweetheart died in Ireland approximately at the time a great audience was acclaiming his singing of "I Hear You Calling Me.- He abandons the concert tour, goes back to Ireland, and sees that

KERRIGAN. & FARRELL MeDONALD, The famous tenor and the two comedians of Fox Movietone's Musical Trish Romance, "Song o' My Heart," now being presented to capacity audiences at Hoyts Capitol Theatre. loallities where his voice and his presence was desired. Winfield Sheehan, vice-president and general manager of the Fox Film Corporation, solved the problem by inducing McCormack , to sign a contract to act, sing, and talk in a picture production. Through the medium of Fox Movietone, the voice that has always been proclaimed great is considered to be made greater via the singing screen. In "Song o' My Heart,' John McCormack sings eleven numbers, logically introduced in the action of the delightful lyrical romance. Of the entire repertoire, "I Hear You Calling Me," "Rose of Tralee," and "Little Boy Blue,' are perhaps the most appreciated numbers. "Little Boy Blue" is based on the poem by Eugene Field, and set to music by Ethelbert Nevin. In singing "Little Boy Blue," Frank Borsags, who directed "Song o'_ My Heart," has deftly introduced a pictorial effect of a little boy. his flag, and his to soldiers, giving an added human touch. "I Hear You Calling Me," which is identified with the great tenor that
the daughter of the woman he had al%vitys loved is happily married to the young man of her choice. In addi. tion to Miss Joyce, the supporting company includes such favourites as Maureen O'Sullivan, J. M. Kerrigan, John Carrick, Farrell MacDonald. Effie Ellsler, and Tommy Clifford. Supporting featurettes include, "Flower Garden," a Metro-Goldwyn color-tone; a Laurel and Hardy comedy, entitled "The Brats.- and Fox Movietone News. On Sunday next, Fox Movietones production of circus life, "Four Devils,- casting Janet Gaynor.

Tokyo (Japan) —Interesting comment on the activities of the Catholic Church in Japan is found in the recently published 1930 "Japan Mission Year Book." a summary of Protestant work edited by Paul S. Mayer. After mentioning the difficulty of the Church in combating animosity, the author of the articles continutes: "But it has elements of great strength. One is the character of its missionary personnel, cosmopolitan, increasingly so. and utterly devoted. Another is the consistency of its policy. The educational institutions play fair, doing thorough work and not obtruding their religion on those who do not want it. Consequently they are well patronised by many of the 'best families' In evangelistic work the aim is the Christianising of families, not the conversion of individuals culled from the general public. It is particularly to be noted that a girl is not granted baptism unless she can present a paper signed and sealed by her father or guardian to the effect that she will never be given in marriage to a man not a Catholic.'

Their blood did not cry out for revenge, hut for the mercy of God that he may hasten the day of grace for the vast population of China. The last beatings of those noble hearts have been the beatines or Charity."

Light comedy and tremendous drama are woven together skilfully, and, as on the stage, the film drama is a powerful vehicle for an actress. Miss Chatterton gives it a remarkable rendition.
Mr. Gugeri also mentioned the excitement during the Fenian troubles. "I got many threatening letters, but, fortunately, nothing happened. Denis Lane was very nervous, but as I opened the mail Iput all threatening letters in my pocket. "One precaution we took was that the first dozen copies printed were brought to me, and then I left the office and sat in a Strand restaurant for an hour or so until a few hundred copies were printed."
At the conclusion of the ten o'clock Mass on Christmas morning, the Very Rev. Father Moss, Adm., entertained the members of the choir, collectors, and altar boys at a pleasurable little Father function at the Presbytery. Moss congratulated one and all for their efforts during the past year, and expressed the hope that in the future the choir would have the benefit of more male voices to make it what it should be, one of the outstanding comTHE WORLD'S LARGEST BRIDGE. binations of its kind in the State.

THE RECORD.
Around the Catholic World NOTED CONVERT DEAD. M. Adolphe Rette, the noted poet and author of religious books, whose conversion to Catholicism about thirty years ago caused a sensation, has died at the age of 67 at Beaune. He at first devoted his talents as polemist and poet to anti-religious socialism. Tortured by moral doubts, he decided to commit suicide, and confided his intention to the poet Francois Coppee, who told Rette of the consolations he had himself received in the Faith. Coppee sent Rette to a priest, and then to the Benedictines. Rette told his story in "Du Diable a Dieu," which caused many conversions, the first being that of his own mother WOMAN LABOUR LEADER DIES AT 100. Mrs. Mary Jones, better known as "Mother" Jones, the 100-year-old militant Labour leader, has died at Silver Spring, Md. She was "a great influence in public life, and an inspiration to the men and women of organised labour," said Mr. William Green, president of the American Federation of Labour, on hearing of her death. Mother Jones was born in Cork, Ireland. Her husband and four children died in the yellow fever epidemic in Chicago in 1867. She began her Lab. our work in the '70's, and figured prominently in very many fights against the l)ppr csion of workpeopre

A DISPUTED INSCRIPTION. Mgr. Ladeuze, Rector of the University of Louvain, has won his appeal against the order of the Lower Court enjoining him to replace the Latin inscription desired by Mr. Whitney War. ren, an American architect, upon the balustrade of the new Louvain library. The inscription in question means in English: "Destroyed by Teutonic fury; restored by American generosity." In giving judgment, the Court of Appeal in Brussels held that the architect could not invoke his rights of authorship, which were confined to ownership of the plans. These did not stipulate that no stone could be changed in the course of the execution of the work. The inscription therefore will not be replaced on the balustrade.

CULTURE PUT BEFORE RELIGION. A fter about twenty years of useful w ork by their society in the Children's Courts, the Home Office since January last had excluded all denominational probation officers from these courts, as it was now considered that young offenders would be more benefited by people of culture than by people of religion. This statement was made at the quarterly meeting of the Brentwood Conferences of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul at St. Anne's., Custom House, London, by Major WeggProsser, K.S.G., President of the Superior Council, who said that was a position that the Catholic body would be unable to accept. and he . anticipated that they would find a successful method of combating it. Right Rev, Dr. Doubleday, Bishop of Brentwood, said there were now about two million people in his diocese, and of these a fair proportion were Catholics. The sudden plantation of great populations in what had once been rural Essex had produced such a state of affairs that he felt sure that after his death Dagenham or Becontree would be found graven on his breast. Still, as the Society of St. Vincent de Paul was very active in his diocese, he could say his prayers quietly and feel that he had handed part of his office over to them to do.

Cushions are friendly and useful things, and if your house is devoid of them, a lot of the home comfort will be found to be missing. A lot of lovely colours and cosy comfort can be added to your house by carefully chosen cushions, so much so, that your friends will open their eyes in admiration. Good cushions give an air of artistry, and will bring to a room more quickly than anything else.

PERTH, SATURDAY, JANUARY 24, 1931.
The Church's Vanguard The published results of the University Examinations for 1930 should leave no doubt in the Catholic mind of the efficiency of our teaching Orders to wisely shape the intellects of the young people entrusted to them for education. If there were any element of such doubt of the quality of education imparted to the youth of our schools in some unknown section of the community, that might perhaps entertain some of the objections of plausible, and not very loyal, Catholics, that it is expensive and less efficient than the State's public system, that uncertainty must asuredly have been blown to smithereens by the results of the University examinations for the year just ended. They are, of themselves, sufficient evidence of the scholastic value of our primary and secondary schools. If the proof of the pudding be in the eating of it, Catholic education in this State can reasonably claim distinguished merit from the number of its successes during the University examinations. They speak for themselves, and our teaching Orders need no vulgar boosting or spruiking to commend them to the intelligensia of the community as educators worthy of Government recognition. But, of course, they'll not get the latter. They are outside the pale of Government notice. An unfair law has practically outlawed the Catholic school, and successive illiberal Governments, one-eyed in the distribution of the State's aid to education, has chosen to forget the existence of the Catholic school. With all the obstacles and drawbacks experienced by Catholic education in its two divisions—primary and secondary—it has, nevertheless, forged its way onward, and to-day we may, with pride, claim for the Catholic school, the denied of Government patronage, equality in secular knowledge and achievement with the best acclaimed of the State's public schools. In primary and secondary education, our schools have more than held their own in the recent examinations. S .

O f the thirteen Government University Exhibitions awarded on the results of the Leaving Certificate of the W.A. University examination, held last November, no fewer than six, we learn, have been gained by our Catholic schools. The results show that a high standard of secular education has been reached. and added to this is the glowing factor of religious instruction. A great impetus has been given to Catholic education from the spiritual side, and this because in the classroom God is not regarded as a figment o f the brain, the centrepiece of creation's romance—a cosmic mystery —but the Lord of All the vast great creation, that man is something more than a chemic lump, a "thingumy" that is composed of earth, fire and water, and just a cosmic accident of some sort that plays his part for a little while here on earth and then goes back to the dust again to stop there. From the Catholic school we get the hope of the future. God-fearing and God-loving citizens. The Catholic school is the antidote to that destructive liberalism which is undermining social order and degrading the human intellect. Education that does not recognise God in its curricula is a poor old thing for civilisation to lean upon. The nation that trusts to its secular schools entirely for ethical guidance in its affairs, is sure to find itself eventually face to face with the black alternative that has set its seal upon Russian public life. The Catholic school is the Church's Vanguard; it is the sign and symbol Of Christianity, and Kittle day it will come into its legitimate inheritance. Some day Justice will open her eves and recognise the claims of the Catholic school. It may not be a far-off day when Justice will wake up with a start. Necessity is a hard driver, and many tyrannies have had to submit to its dictation. The growth of Socialism, the demands of Communism, the reactions in society. the looseness in social morals, the disregard for the old proprieties, and the vaulting independence of youth, the irreligion of to-day, the unbridled license of night-time society, all combine to prod Justice with a warning prod, into an attitude of caution and thought. Denominational education must eventually compel consideration from the Government of this country. What Government spends in keeping down crime and lawlessness, might be more advantageously spent on Christian education—the strength and protection of society.

News and Notes A revised edition of the Catholic Encyclopedia is planned by the editors. Many improvements will be made in the new edition, which will reveal marvellous progress made by the Church in every part of the world. The following letters from parents to teachers, though they are not quite as interesting as Addison's letters, still they have an interest all their own, and are worth reproducing:—Dear Sir,— Please do not punish Jack, as we never do ourselves except in self-defence.— Sir,—You told my boy that drinking beer injures the coat of the stomach. Please don't interfere with my family affairs.—Teacher, I hear you have been putting my boy under the tap. The next time you do it, I'll come and put your dirty mug in the same place. —Dear Sir—Please leve off teeching Fred any more jimnasticks. If Iwant him to jump, I can make him jump. Miss Gillian Olivier, the English novelist, author of "The Broomscod Collier," was received into the Church recently, at St. Dominic's, Haverstock Hill, by Father John Baptist Reeves, 0.P. For the first time since the Reformation, Mass was celebrated at Northiarn, Sussex, in an oratory at Little Doneegrove, the new home of Mr. T. P. Fry and his wife, Miss Shiela Kaye-Smith, the novelist. Mr. Fry, who, before his conversion in 1929, was an Anglican clergyman, served at the Mass. The centenary of the death of Simon Bolivar. the famous Venezuelan patriot and liberator, was marked by a Solemn Pontifical Mass of Requiem celebrated in Westminster Cathedral by Bishop Butt. His Eminence Cardinal Bourne, members of the Westminster Metropolitan Chapter, and other clergy assisted in the sanctuary. The Cardinal pronounced the absolution at the catafalque. Following the Mass, the members of the Committee adjourned to Ansley House, Hyde Park Corner. where Mr. Arthur Henderson, Foreign Secretary, unveiled a tablet commemorating the meeting between Simon Bolivar, the first accredited Spanish representative, and Marquess Wellesley, the Foreign Secretary. The diplomatic representatives of the five South American Republics during the day placed wreaths on the Cenotaph in memory of the British troops who fought in Bolivar's war of liberation, and on the Canning statue. • The modern world was beginning to want the Catholic Church because it wanted to restore some mission of authority', but the moment the Church made an authoritative announcement, the world turned away with the panic-cry of "liberty," said Father Ronald Knox, MA., lecturing on "Authority and Religion," in Glasgow, recently, under the auspices of the Glasgow University Catholic Women's Association The mind of to-day was no
list of Catholic foster mothers, certified by. the local authority if they receive children under the age of seven years, is kept. The society is at present hoarding out 300 children in certified schools, besides having arranged for the admission of about 150 other children to Catholic Homes. A Home for w orking boys is maintained in Shaw. street, Liverpool, where the boys provide about fifty per cent of their keep. As soon as they are earning sufficient to maintain themselves, they are placed in lodgings. These activities, so far from winning favour for the Catholics of Liverpool, have excited the animosity of Orangemen and the jealousy of bigots who are playing-up in the Archdiocese of Dr. Downey. The first meeting of the consultative committee of ten which was recently appointed to assist the Governor of Rome to deal with various city problems, has been held in Rome, says Reuter. Prince Boncompagni, the Governor of Rome, explained that the intention of the Government was that Rome should become a modern city in every sense of the word, and said that the Authorities had determined upon an elaborate programme of road construction, paving and tree planting. Lungs" for the benefit of the poorer quarters are to be established, as most of the parks and open spaces are in The the official and richer quarters. authorities propose to develop the Roman Campagna and make it a vast agricultural domain, producing the bulk of the meat, milk, fruit and vegetables required by the capital. By such means the cost of foodstuffffs in Rome may be reduced.
Monsignor Maurilio Fossati, Archbishop of Sasari, has been appointed Archbishop of Turin. The new Archbishop belongs to Arona, and is the seventh of ten children of humble parents. His father was employed by the company owning the steamers on Lake Maggiore, and never earned more than 30s. weekly. One of the Archbishop's brothers has an inn in Rome, another a printing works in Milan, and a third is a commercial traveller. The Archbishop is of a kind, reserved and humble nature. One of his sisters in Turin was unaware of his nomination to Turin, and assured a reporter who called on her that her brother would be the last one to communicate to anybody anything connected with his sacred office. His appointment to Turin has been received with lively satisfaction by the clergy and laity of that city.
Passed to his eternal reward in England recently, a young priest of the Hexham diocese—Father Arthur McCormack. His early death, at the age of 34, from internal trouble, may be accounted to hardships of the Great War, in which he served for two years. He had been suffering for some time, and for a year had been unable to carry on with his missionary work, though occasionally he did supply work. He studied at Ushaw College, Durham. When the War broke out, he joined up with a number of other Ushaw students, his army service extending from 1916 to 1918. While in France in 1918 he received severe face wounds He was an instructor in musketry at Catterick and a sergeant whilst in France. He returned to Ushaw in 1919, and was ordained in 1924.—R.I.P.
More than 2,000 Catholics, many of them carrying torches, formed an escort at the departure ot Father Michael O'Ryan. 0.M.I., from Liverpool, recently. Father O'Ryan has been rector of Holy Cross Church for six years, and has now gone to Inchicore, Dublin. A band headed the procession to the Father O'Ryan embarking stage. rode in an open carriage, accompanied by representatives of the Holy Cross district on the City Council.
The following stories—one from North Wales, the other from Belfast— emphasise to Catholics the value of possessing pious objects by which their religion is made known to non-Catholics. During Mass at Penmaenmawr, N. Wales, the superior of the Capuchins, Father Bernard, announced that a seaman named William McLoughlan, aged 23, of Moville, Co. Donegal, had been drowned at the Quarry Pier while loading a boat during a gale. Father Bernard stated that the reason the young man's comrades, non-Catholics, had come to tell the priest was that amongst the dead seaman's belongings they had found a medal of St. Christopher bearing the familiar message: "I am a Catholic. In case of an accident please notify a priest." The congregation recited the "De Profundis," and a visitor arranged for a Requiem Mass the following morning. The body was recovered from the sea, and has teen taken to Ireland for burial. A man who had been knocked down by a motor-car in a Belfast street was taken to hospital in an unconscious and dying condition. One of the nurses attending him was a Catholic, and naturally wished to find out the man's religion. His battered clothing gave no clue, and the nurse had given up hope of finding out, when two rosary beads slipped from the man's breast. She immediately telephoned to a nearby church, and in a few minutes a priest arrived. The man died, but he was able to receive the Last Sacrament.
A young Irishman, Patrick O'Shaughnessy, arrived in Montreal, the day after Christmas, after walking 1,400 miles from Winnipeg, to seek a cattle boat in which he could find a free passage to take him home to see his fiancee, who was lying seriously ill in Ireland. When he heard of the girl's illness, °Shaughnessy at once started At out, though he had no money. Montreal he was told that the last cattle boat of the season had already Undeterred, he started for St. left. John, hoping for a passage from there. This means that he had to walk another 500 miles. and under winter conditions.

He has never been in a train, tram, or motor car. He has five sons and two daughters, all living. One of his daughters is over seventy years of age, and receives the old-age pension. -Homeless--the organ of the Liverpool Catholic Children's Protection Society—announces that the latest venture of the society, the St. Vincent de Paul Children's Welfare Centre, although opened only two months ago, now has more than eighty children on its register. It is under the charge of the Sisters of Charity. It is also stated that in the society's Babies' Home. at Fairfield, more than thirty small children from a few months to several years old, are cared for, and a
The Irish Hospital Sweep has got its conge froth the English postal authorities. Under instructions from the Home Office, letters posted in England addressed to the Hospital Trust, Dublin, in connection with the Grand National Sweep, are being stopped. There is a fluttering in political dovecotes in England because much good English money has gone to Ireland to maintain Irish hospitals. It was unfortunate for the Irish Hospital Trust that Belfast and Vancouver got so much of the sweepstake and England got little if anything at all. Anyhow, John Bull is up against gambling—John has grown pious,

1 OUR BUSH1ES SCHEME
ii Ii
On last Sunday we mentioned the Busbies' Scheme at the Masses in the Cathedral parish, and as a result we are richer by £1 from Mrs. Keenan, 10s, from Mrs. M. O'Dea, lOs from Mr. Ferguson. We acknowledge also with thanks: 10s. from Miss Kelly, Subiaco; I4s., per Mrs. Courtland, Belmont (a great worker for our needs). A mother in a Group at Denmark writes to thank Mrs. Courtland for her papers and pictures for the little ones. This gives one some idea of the value of our Bushies' Scheme. Without this scheme of summer schools at the various convents in the country, the children would grow up in ignorance of their Faith, and then the ranks of the "ought-to-be Catholics" would increase at an enormous rate. This mother appreciates the change in her child after some weeks in the Albany Convent, and is consequently eager to send her other children for instruction. She writes: "I am trying to get the other little girl in for the summer school, so as to give her some insight of her religion, as they don't see any of their religion here. We shall soon be having Father out after Christmas. It will be 12 months since Father was here in February. We were two years out here when Father Pace came out, and we thought it Heaven. When he came out he christened my baby. She was then six weeks' old, and we walked nine miles to hear Mass and to go to Holy Communion at 8 o'clock Mass. We were the farthest out. We have no road, all bush track to get to the road. I have heard Benediction twice since I have been here, once when we were staying in Perth, and once when I went into Denmark. Then I had to go 40 miles, and I gave £2, that was when the Denmark church was opened. Then I had the pleasure of meeting and seeing Archbishop Dune. What a splendid gentleman he is." That is a typical letter from a Bush Mother, willing to make any sacrifice that her children may not grow up pagans. Picture that nine-miles' walk through sand, carrying a baby, and fasting that she might receive Holy Communion! What a splendid example for all of us—especially us who live beneath the chadow of a church, and consider ourselves martyrs for the Faith if we get up for an early Mass on Sunday! A little thought, and all of us could help mothers in the bush to care for their children. We can all spare a few pence each week, and that would soon reach the Ilk. mark, sufficient to keep one child at a Convent for one week. In a parish in the Great Southern a scheme was started of asking every adult in the congregation to give one penny every Sunday that Mass was said. The chudren collected the pennies and handed them to the priest to be a fund for the next Summer School. If that custom grew each parish would have something in hand to meet the expenses of the Summer School. Our children will respond to anything that is big. They are the best of givers. willingly sacrificing their "lollies pennies. All that is necessary is that they be reminded of the needs of the Bushiest Scheme. Next week we hope to tell you of the great things dorte in Narrogin. Forty-five children entered the Narrogin Convent on January 11, for two weeks' instruction. The pastor. Father Sheridan, has combed every corner of his continent parish, arranged the transportation, added to the wardrobe when necessary, and entered his name at the head of the teachers for the two weeks. The good Sisters welcomed the 45 bushies, and made them feel at home at once. For two weeks their days were spent with the children, leading them nearer to Our Blessed Lord, making them happy at school and at play, catering for their healthy appetites, providing many nice dishes for kiddies who have a sweettooth. The parishioners have plucked the cabbages from their gardens. dug the potatoes, made the cows work overtime—helping in every way they can to make the "Busbies" as happy as possible. Priest, Sisters, parishioners are doing their share to continue this missionary work, this Near-West apostolate, to feed the children who hunger for the Bread of Life to be broken to them— and what are you doing? Does this mission among the Busbies mesa nothing to you?

Questions about the doctrine and practice of the Church will be answered in this section week. ly. Inquirers are to be as brief and clear as possible.
Sugar! Sugar! ! Sugar! ! ! What a tumult this common but popular commodity is creating. Who would think it could cause so much anger and so much controversy? On the breakfast table it is indispensible to the tea drinker and the coffee addict. Baby must have its pap; Medeline, when she condescends to make the household marmalade and preserves, or tries out her knowledge in the pastry line, accounts it as a principal ingredient, and, of course, something that she must have at all costs. It does not much matter to her unsophisticated mind how much sugar costs, nor does she care tuppence about the embargo. Madeline has no responsibility. It is papa's.affair to meet the expense, she has not yet to worry over the econoShe did read mics of housekeeping. a course of economics for her matric, but applied economics in every day She knew as household affairs, gee! much about them as she did about the Einstein doctrine of relativity, and her pet lap-dog knew as much as she did. The price of sugar, and the embargo on sugar, Government interference in the natural functions of the sugar trade, and Government control of the distribution, does not concern fair Madeline, provided she gets the indispensible ingredient for her cakes and pre4erves, not forgetting her afternoon tea and her morning cup of coffee.
The exchange question has reached the stage now when it may be regarded on the same plane as the latest scandal. Some public hawk is out to suck the blood of the doves. What a Innumber of doves there must be? dustry is being brutally maltreated these days, and industry will be hard hit by the jump-up in the rate of exchange, unless something is immediately done by Government to meet the situation.

But there are others more intimately concerned with the costs of housekeeping, upon whom the sugar embargo presses like a dead, annoying weight. The housewife, with a meagre income upon which she must make the proverbial ends meet, is greatly interested in the price of sugar, and she wonders. without finding a reason. why she pays more for sugar to-day than she did before the war or during the war, or why in New Zealand Federal sugar is selling very much cheaper than in the home market. What angers the Australian housewife is that she pays more for the home-grown article than the New Zealander, who is not compelled to buy Australian sugar, because he has the foreign article to patronise if he can get it cheaper, but who does buy Australian sugar at a price that is profitable to him. If Federal sugar can be sold outside Australia at a lesser price than that paid by the Australian general consumer, there is something rotten in the principle which compels retailers of sugar to sell at 5d. in this The sugar question is one of State. the most unsavoury impositions of the moment, and there are many malodorous and irritating Government exactions hanging like leeches over the portals of the Taxation Department, ready to attach themselves to the unfortunate visitor and suck his blood. Just now the science of financial squeezing is being carried out to its It can scarcely go much farlimit. ther without a tremendous row.

Iconoclasm. G C.: Iconoclasm was a heresy, that occurred in the Eastern Church in the 8th. and 9th. centuries. The literal meaning of the name is the breaking of images, and the disturbance centred around both the use and the veneration of images. There were two separate outbursts of inconoclasm, one in the 8th. century under the Emperor, Leo the Isaurian, and one in the 9th. century, under the Emperor, Leo V. The true principles regarding the veneration of images were laid down in the In the Seventh General Council. Western Empire there was for a time an echo of the controversy, during the reign of Charlemagne, 790. .

Mussolini Speaks Out. A very interesting discussion took place in the Italian Parliament recently before its adjournment sine die. Deputy Garibaldi inquired the reasons for the changes introduced into the list of national holidays by virtue of which the holiday celebration of September 20, the anniversary of the taking of Pontifical Rome in 1870, has been abolished and replaced by the solemnity of February 11, anniversary of the Treaty of the Lateran. The speaker e xpressed regret at the removal of this celebration; he thought it should have been maintained side by side with the latter observance. Signor Mussolini, in reply to Deputy Garibaldi. said that the latter had expressed some doubt on the glory of He had said that his prothis date. found conviction was that if only a platoon of regular French soldiers had been in Rome in September. 1870, General Cadorna would probably not have given the order on September 11 to march on Rome. Signor Mussolini added that although the Empire of Napoleon had fallen, the French Republic which had succeeded it has kept for four years the naval ship Renault at Civita-Vecchia, which proves that in her politics for the defence of the Church there is no change in tbe reghne of the Eldest Daughter of the Church. The speaker recalled that it was only moreover in 1895, on the occasion of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the occupation of Rome that a deputy introduced the project of a law tending to include September 20 amongst the national celebrations, and that the Italian Parliament adopted the idea. Fascism has demobilised September 20, which had become "a useless and Then melancholy Masonic parade." at the present time has come the fact of February 11, and he (Signor Mussolini) believes that the Italians, and in particular the Facists, will come to realise the enormous importance of this event.—"Irish Catholic."

Feelings of peace will steal o'er us and, as we stand with our feet firmly set at the guarded edge of a look-out, we will find we can sing a paean that will ring through the maze that beset us, a Laudate of light-hearted joy that will die into reverent prayer for those who have helped us to scale these almost impassible heights.

Aunt Bessy's Corner DEAR MEL I.:- AND NEPHEWS,— I have been wondering all the week whether any of you had any little original stories, riddles, or puzzles that you would like to send along for your Corner. Betty Williamson sent in a few very acceptable puzzles last week. You see it is your very own Corner, and I thought you would like the idea every much of having 4 little personal touch in it. Of course, you know that you have some of your letters in weekly, and letters from our little friends will always be welcome; but I think we could make our page brighter and jollier than it is now, with the united efforts of the Cornerites. One thing that would make the sun shine brightly on the Corner would be "Remembrance of the Busbies' Fund," that is being forgotten. You know the old lines of our motto for the Corner: "Play the Game.It is not being played with our dear little cousins from the bush. Give them a chance, boys and girls.

-Mid cottages and palaces, wherever we may roam, Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home. DESIRES. Few things there are Which men desire A sheltering roof, A cheerful fire, A woman's love, A patch of ground, In these his mind's Content is found. A child to romp with And a dog, A friend to share The blazing log; The strength with which To face his task, No more than these A man will ask. To come to these Are oceans spanned And trains sent rushing O'er the land. For love and shelter, Child and friend, Are structures built And poems penned. —Edgar A. Guest. WORDS OF WLSDOM. Let us acquire the ready and consistent habit of prayer. It is a good habit. Frequent short prayers form a habit of prayer. By reason of the greater love we bear to men who are of resolute and solid virtue, we should more severely punish in them the slightest failings. We afford our soul much profit, and exceedingly please the good Jesus, when we go to Him and remain with Him as did St. Anthony of Padua. Not only in solitude, but even in the company of others, we can preserve solitude of heart and familiarly converse with God. Be confirmed in patience, that when you enter the holy city of Jerusalem you may, in the vision of peace, rereive all that you have merited in this time of pilgrimage. True charity arises from faith in the promise of God, and expects rewards To hope for only in a future state. our recompense in this life is not beneficence but usury —Johnson. It was God's love for man that saw Love what is signified accomplised. given demands love in return; and no one that knows its meaning can utter that name without the quickening of the heart-pulses, without the straining of the soul to God. In the spiritual order there is no Men are children from growing up. the beginning to the end. Just as a child may live in dependence upon his father in the days of his childhood, so, because, in the spiritual order we are all children of God, we must pass all the days of our lives in a spirit of trustful dependence upon Him. Should we feel at times disheartened and discouraged, a confiding thought, a simple movement of the heart towards WhatGod, will renew our powers. ever He may demand of us He will give us at the moment the strength and courage that we need.—Fenelon. There is no security for perseverance except in always advancing. To A boat asstand still is impossible. cending a running stream falls back To as soon as it ceases to advance. hold its place is impossible, unless it So in the gain upon the stream spiritual life. THE WISDOM OF FATHER DEGEN Children of Mary should take full advantage of the new mode by which a much longer outer dress, especially for evening year. is replacing the immodest high-level skirt, Just because they have left school and started work, young girls cannot dispense with parental protection without serious consequences. It is asking for trouble to acquiesce in their doing pretty well what they like without reference to their fathers and mothers. This is the kind of laxity which is producing the cigarette-smoking, picturehouse-mad, boy-hunting type of girl who parades the streets of our big cities. Neither sons nor daughters should be allowed to spend their evenings at dances and parties away from home, unless a definite time-limit has been imposed and accepted. It is infinitely more important for children to be taught the facts of Divine Revelation than how to analyse sentences or to draw hexagonal prisms. Too little law and discipline is as bad as. if not worse than, too much. Children's hearts should be educated as well as their heads. Religion is the only subject which speaks to the heart as well as to the head. The flapper who attempts to "joyride" tbreugh life will sooner or later

bump into moral values and Eternal truths and get a Hell of a shock— "rish Catholic." THE VALUE OF TRUE FRIENDSHIPWe do not know how much we owe to our true and pure friends—how much they add to our joy; what they do towards the formation and the adornment and enrichment of our character. We know not what touches, delicate and beautiful, on the canvas of our soul, that will be for ever, which the fingers of a friend have left there. There will be silver thread in every life-web when finished, woven into the fabric by the pure friendship of many days. How important that only the true, the worthy, those with clean hands and good lives be taken as friends, for an evil companionship will put stained and soiled threads into the web.
Throughout the world every day, according to statisticians, there are 250,000 men, women and children who are "called home." In other words, on an average, a quarter of a million people die every day.

The figures may seem fantastic, but they are likely as accurate as mortal man can estimate. They serve to remind us that death is as inevitable as the setting sun. We cannot escape death. What, then, are we to do about it?

Living thus is not difficult. It requires a little will power, a lot of determination and the help of God. The latter we can always have for the asking. Will power and determination to persevere in grace are directly our own concern. God gives all of us a free will. Are you exercising yours that when you are called home you wni he prepared?

THE YOUNG DISCIPLE. VIGIL Time was when I would tremble to pass by The lonely graveyard gate, Refusal in my heart, and a strong cry Of fear and fearful hate. But now I fear no more, with head held high In enter, heart elate, Take my stern stand without a tear or sigh Beside the dead, and wait. —Ch_arles Phillips. A SERIOUS MISTAKE. There is a proverb that the first blow is half the battle. I do not think it holds in spiritual matters; and the reason I do not think so is that such a number of persons are called to devotion and an interior life The fault was not the first blow. It was vigorous enough. loving enough, humble enough. The fault was later on; it was either that they got tired of mortification or that they fell into a common superstition about grace, and when it did not come true, they were disgusted. This superstition consists in imagining that urace is to work like a charm, almost without the concurrence of our own wills—Faber. WASTED OPPORTUNITIES. It is a humbling thing to feel how much we might have done for God that we haven't done, how many opportunities have been wasted, how many graces not corresponded to, how poor and languid and ungenerous has all been that we have actually had the heart to do, says Father Faber. It is humbling also to feel how little we have done for God in return for the greatness of what he has done for us, and how little we can do for him at the best, even if we were saints, considering His majesty and our nothingness: how much we haVe- positively done against Him. But it seems to me that humility crows far more rapidly and blossoms more abundantly in the mere thought of the immensity of God's love for us, and the unintelligible prodigality of His fatherly love for us. where there is not thought of self at all, even in the way of merited self reproach.
Among the fruits of faith is zeal for souls. Our faith is indeed weak if it does not bear the fruit of wishing others to enjoy it. Conversely, it may he said that otirfaith will not last unless we desire and take means to convert our fellow-men. This we can cul by furnishing vocations to the priesthood and religious life from our families, by co-operating in the development of our parishes and schools, by the spread of Catholic periodicals and books, and by prayer and good example.

THE LEGEND OF THE PINE TREE One very hot summer's day, Mary was going from Bethlehem to the Temple, and she was carrying her Divine Child in her arms. There came a moment when the blazing sun made it impossible for Our Lady to continue her journey along the hot dusty road. There was a pine tree near, and under this Mary stopped to rest. At the approach of the Holy Mother and Her Divine Child, the tree so adjusted its branches as to form a sort of umbrella, thereby affording an agreeable shelter to the two travellers. When sufficiently rested and about to continue her journey, Mary blessed the tree and promised that it would live forever in the slips taken from it. And to this very day, the peasants will show travellers a pine tree which they say is an offshoot of the old trees blessed by Mary. Charles had not behaved in the manner his parents thought fit; consequently he had been sent to bed long before his usual time. But Charles couldn't sleep, and at 10 o'clock he crept quietly downstairs and confronted his startled mother. "Mummie. didn't you say I wasn't to go to sleep until I had made peace
