rwo "When Rogues Fall Out" Before a Vienna Cc -Art (writes Dr. Frederic hinder, Vienna correspondent of the N.C.W.C.), an involuntary and comic end was recently put to what was called the great sensation of the propaganda oi the "freethinkers." In the last few years a former nun has been presented in person at a large number of meetings of freethinkers in This nun had beCentral Europe. come a freethinker herself, and related to the audiences the "terrible experiMary ences" of her monastic life. Fugger, as she is known, had as a matter of fact been in various convents in Hungary and Austria, but was found to be possessed of neither sufficient education nor religious self-discipline. Wherever she made an appearance she circulated a fantastic pamphlet with the title ((28 Years Behind Convent Walls," which abounded in clumsy inventions and ridiculous exaggeraThese pamphlets bore titles tions. such as "Buried Alive," "My Mental Tortures in the Confessional Chair." In court, where Mary Fugger appeared as a defendant and the League of Freethinkers as plaintiff, it was disclosed that the pamphlets had been written only in a very small part by the former nun, and were in fact the work of the secretary of that League, who "padded up" in a sensational manner what he had heard from Mary Fugger. Although some 45,000 copies of the pamphlet, which was published under her name, had been sold, the alleged author did not receive a single cent. She then had the pamphlet printed when on a lecture tour in Germany, and sold it on her own account. By doing so, however, she fell into disgrace with her former employers. The League of Freethinkers sued for an infringement of the copyright, and by means of an arrangement she was obliged to conclude in court, the League not only deprived the unlucky woman of the means of maintenance she earned by selling the pamphlet, but forced upon her the additional obligation of paying a fine which she, being quite destitute, will have to pay in monthly instalments. Now the heroine of the "novel" is furious with the League of Freethinkers and the League is furious with its "Martyr of Convent Life," whom it cannot send any longer to its stage. But the world has been enriched by a good joke.

THE RECORD.
Around the Catholic World UGANDA CHURCH TO ST. PATRICK. Years of toil by an Irish priest in Uganda, and generous subscriptions from Catholics there, and from Irish people all over the world, have resulted in the opening of a beautiful church dedicated to St. Patrick, at the Mission of the Mill Hill Fathers, Madera, Soroti. Dr. Campling, VicarApostolic of the Upper Nile, performed the ceremony of dedication, and celebrated the first Mass in the new edifice. Over 7.000 people were present. Father J. Brennan, parish priest of the church, afterwards thanked the friends who had helped him to carry the work to completion. LEAVING BETHLEHEM FOR AMERICA. Many young Christian Arabs of the Bethlehem region have left for America. This emigration is due to the economic crisis of the country. Members of families, established in the historic town since the time of the Crusaders, are now obliged to go abroad in order to find work. The Bethlemites were wont to work for pilgrims and tourists, but the travellers lately have been passing through the town hurriedly and spending little money. TEETH EXTRACTION RESTORES WOMAN'S SIGHT. Fourteen years ago, Mrs. Lillian Wallace,. of Chicago, now 38, lost the sight of her left eye. Physicians advised that she have the eye removed to save the sight of her other eye, but she refused Last month she had six teeth pulled. Her jaw ached when she returned home.

"It was just Ile removing a web from in front of me," she explained later after physicians had declared sight had been restored to the eye they had advised removing. JESUIT'S AVERAGE LIFE SPAN 65 YEARS. • The average -.pan of life of members of the Society of Jesus is sixty-five years, statistics just compiled at the Jesuit headquarters in New York reveal. During the year from October 1, 1928, to September 30. 1929, the total number of deaths was 307. or less than one and one-half per cent, of the membership, the report showed. Among those who died in this year were 219 priests, eighteen scholastics and seventy coadjutor Brothers. Two Fathers were in their ninetieth year and one Brother was in his ninety-first. The average length of service in the society, it was stated, is over forty years. BOGUS PRIEST ONCE A CONVICT. Father Paul Fife, 0.S.B., of St. Michael's Catholic Chord'. in Canon City, Colorado, U 5k, together with Charles W. F Meyer and a Deputy Sheriff, succeeded in catching William R. Rynd, who has been posing as a Catholic priest, and is charged with passing spurious cheques. Rynd. who was caught after passing a bad cheque for MO to Mr. Meyer and a forty-mile motor-car chase, was found to have in his possession a set of episcopal and Catholic ecclesiastical seals, with which, it is believed, he had devised false baptismal, Confirmation, and ordination papers. It was discovered that Rend had served a term in San Quentin Prison, and in the Mississippi Prison on confidence game charges. --POLISH CONSUL LEAVES JERUSALEM. Dr. Titus Zbyszewski, Polish ConsulGeneral for Palestine, has been transferred to Chicago. U.S. The transfer is regarded as a marked promotion. Dr. Zbvszewski, who is a Catholic, has made many iiiends while in the Holy Land, and the news of his departure has been received with regret. During the riots last year. when Dr. Titus was acting Dean of the Conuslar Corps, he displayed a most sympathetic attitude towards the sufferers with whom he came in contact. PRIEST SAVANT DIES. One of the most learned priests of Spain. Dr. Don Angel Amor Ruibal, has died and has been interred in the cloister of the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. of which he was canon The funeral was attended doctoraL by representatives of the Government, the Civil University, and the Pontifical The greater part Of Dr, University. R uihal's life had been devoted to intellectual pursuits. He had published t wenty volumes of his works, had acquired universal fame. and had written many condensed pamphlets and ar-
tieles for reviews. Notwithstanding his vast importance in the field of philology, Dr. Ruibal's most profound studies were on ecclesiastical affairs. As a member of the Theological Cornmision appointed by the Holy See to study the Dogma of the Universal Mediation of the Blessed Virgin, he began his study from the patristical, Latin, Greek and liturgical viewpoints. lie was undoubtedly one of the most learned priests of the present-day Church. Cardinal Mercier said of him that he had "exhausted material." Dr. Ruibal was born in 1870 in a picturesque village in the province of Pontevedra, Galicia. Ile studied at the Seminary of Compostela, then in 1897 entered the recently-established Spanish College at Rome. He received the doctoral degree from the college of la*, theology and philosophy at the Pontifical University of Compostela. Very much against his will he was elected Vicar-General. The last years of Dr. Ruibal's life were overshadowed by infirmity so that he tried to abandon his books and studies to other hands. But his affliction prevented him from sleeping, and so he would often spend the whole night writing. His mind was clear until the very last m oment. NEW
MINOR SEMINARY FOR ROME. Plans have been prepared, and work ,:tarted on the site, for a new minor seminary for the diocese of Rome. This is really the seeond building destined for this purpose., as the one now being completed, the Holy Father has decided, is to be the residence and offices of the Governor of the Vatican City. The new seminary will be outside, hut close to the Vatican City, near the junction of the Italian and Papal railways. The foundation -.tone will be laid in the spring. FRIAR MADE TEACHER IN STATE UNTVERSITY. A t the University 01 Leiden. Holland, a Franciscan Friar, Dr. J. J. A. Bernsen. has been appointed assistant to his former teacher, Dr. E. Dubois, with the special mission of studying the Paleontologic Trinil Collection of the University. The young scientist received his doctorate in Mathematical and natural sciences at the University of Amsterdam. in 1927, upon presentation of a dissertation written in English and entitled: "The Geology of the Teglian Clay and Its F sil Remains of Rhinoceros." TO FILL AN EMPTY NICHE. Another large marble statue will shortly be placed in one of the empty niches in St. Peter's reserved for the canonised founders of religious orders. The sculptors Silvio Silva is now at work on a statue of St. John Eudes, founder of the' Eudist Fathers and the Sisters of Our Lady of Charity and Refuge, who was canonised in the Holy Year. There are already thirty of these statues in place, and only nine places are now left vacant. The last to he placed in position was that of St. John Baptist de la Salle. founder of the Brothers of the Christian Schools. The great weight of these statues, and the height of the niches. makes it difficult and costly to install them. ANTI-CLERICAL TO BE IMPEACHED. !IL peachment proceedings Are to be instituted by the Mexican Senate against the Governor of Tabasco on charges of grave offenses against the national Constitution, according to a statement issued by the Secretariat of Gobernacion. The charges allege that the Governor set up rationalist education in the official schools of the State, instead of secular education prescribed by the national Constitution. UNEMPLOYMENT IN AMERICA. A sign of the times in America is the opening by the Society of St. yin. cent de Paul of free food kitchens in the State of Detroit, America. What isIsorrowful need there is not common to that State alone. Poverty is unhappily rife among the unemployed working classes throughout the States. The action is taken at the direction of the Right Rev. Michael J. Gallagher, Bishop of Detroit. The first kitchen was opened near the headquarters of the Society, and has been prepared to serve 100 persons at a sitting, and will be open to all person-. without regard to race, creed, or colour. A DYING SECT. . The Catholic Apostolic Church, founded about 1G) years ago by Edward Irving, is in danger of early extinction, because the ministers ordained by the original "Twelve Apostles" are

dying out, and when the last goes there will be no one to direct the Church. The last of the original "Apostles" died about 30 years ago. There are 500,000 adherents of the sect in various parts of the world, and they worship in 500 churches. An article of belief in the Catholic Apostolic Church is that the milleniurn is corning, and thus no preparation was made for perpetuating the Church beyond the life time of the "Apostles" and those whom they ordained. So strongly do members of the sect believe, even now, that the world will end before the last of the ministers dies that they have made no preparation for the disposal of the church funds. The sect is well known as the Irvingites, after the founder, who was a deposed Presbyterian minister. One of the churches in London lost its last minister a few years ago, and the building was rented to Catholics at a nominal rent of £5 a year. It has since passed into Catholic hands. The largest Irvingite church in London is in Gordon Square, a central site Thirty years ago there were twenty ministers at that church. Now there are only five left, and when the last one dies the Irvingites will have no need of the building because the faith will have outlived its promise. RELIGIOUS ICE FIRST CONCERN President Masaryk. of Czechoslovakia, in the course of an official reception just held for him at Bratislavia. received a delegation of local Catholics, led by the Rt. Rev. Paul Jantausc/a, Administrator Apostolic of Tmava. Bishop Jantausch greeted the President on behalf of the Catholic residents of the country. President Masaryk, who is a non-Catholic, thanked the Bishop for his warm greeting, and said he was deeply concerned with the religious life of the nation. He said the Catholic majority in the country held great promise for the future, although the tasks lying before them were difficult. He expressed himself as confident that the Catholic Czechoslovakians would master these tasks. "Of course," he said, "we are not concerned with prosperity alone. I. for one, am concerned with the religious life of the country in the first place, since religon is one of the main objects of all cultural aspirations. Your task is very beautiful, but it is difficult." President Masaryk lauded Dr. Edward Benes, the Foreign Minister, as particularly worthy of prake for the way in

The ruins of an "American Pompeii" will be sought in Arizona next year by an expedition of the University of Pennsylvania Museum. This was closed by Dr. Harold S. Colton, professor of anthropology at the university, and a member of the expedition the museum has had for several years in the field near Flagstaff, AS. Mr ruins, Dr. Colton said, are believed to lie beneath a layer of black basaltic sand 18 to 21 feet thick, which in turn is overlaid by centuries of drift sand deposits. Should the buried city be located, it is expected that many relics revealing the habits and customs of the real American pioneers will be found Possibility of such a discovery was revealed to university field workers w hen a number of ancient pueblo ruins were discovered, showing that volcanic action had been heavy in the vicinity after the dwellings of the Indians had been in ruins for several hundred years Sunset Crater, near the Coconino forests of Arizona, was held responsible for the eruptions, which are estimated by scientists to have occurred centuriee ago. Efforts to learn the date of the eruptions will be made by Dr. Colton and Dr. A. E. Douglass, professor of astronomy at the University of Ari zona, who is reported to have discovered a method of determining geological time in Arizona by means of "tree ring chronology."

Eveu though the lot of some of us should later be cast amidst irreligion, we feel in a certain measure fortified against the dangers ahead. We hope to live a life of Faith, availing ourselves whenever possible of the healing Sacrament of Penance, the strengthening Sacrament of the Blessed Eucharist. and the elevating purifying Sacrifice of the Mass. This scheme of providing for the spiritual needs of the children of the way-out back is surely Heaven inspired. I cannot do better than sum it up by quoting an extract taken from a letter recently written by the parish priest of Otnagh, Tyrone. Ireland. He writes: "The paper you sent me with the full and interesting account of the work done for the 'Bushies' charmed me immensely. The first thought that struck me was the marvellous adaptability of the Catholic Church. and the endless permutations and combinations of It brought before me human life. problems of the Faith that never struck me before. It is surely most blessed work, sowing the seed literally in soil that I trust with its spiritual fertility will bring forth the 100 fold." Father Sheridan desires us to express his grateful thanks to the Sisters, for their nnflagging attention to their proteges during their stay at Narrogin. It is surely an act of selfdenial-- one that we doubt not will merit an ample reward—to spend the time of a well-deserved vacation in the unusually difficult task of instilling a spark of spirituality into minds, up to that moment, almost enveloped in an atmosphere lust material. A word of special thanks, inadequate though it be, is due to Sisters M. Pattlinus, from Katanning, and M Joseph, from Highgate. who were here on a holiday visit. and gave both time and patience unstintedly to the moulding of the minds and hearts of those young hopefuls on which so much will depend for the glory of God and Iris rhurch in the future.

OILESTNSTON ON NONE. Mr. Gilbert K. Chesterton has recent:y given us a book on Rome. An eminent critic once said: "Chesterton has grown familiar with life, yet it never seems to have lost its morning freshness for him; he still goes adventuring into it, and finds new things everywhere, or sees the old things from a new angle. . . Always in Chesterton's best work, there is that sense of seeing evecything intensely, vividly, for himself and for the first time." So it is with "The Resurrection of Rome." The Eternal City has provided material for a host of books, memoirs, impressions, historical sketches, records of travel, and yet Chesterton gives us something entirely new. It is somewhat difficult to classify his book. He says himself in the introduction, that he is a bad reporter and a bad tourist, and his book is not a mere record of impressions, much less of travel. It is more in the nature of a philosophy of history, expounded and illustrated in ChesIt is terton's own inimitable way. the story of how and why Rome has survived, how and why Rome has risen again to glorious life, when apparently buried in oblivion. This theme is e volved in a series of essays, each one dealing with a phase in the history of Christian Rome. "The Story of the Statues" tells us of the victorious struggle of the Popes against the Eastern Emperors, and the founding of a new Western Empire. The title is suggested by the fact that the struggle centred for a time around Iconoclasm, and Chesterton sees in the abundance of statues in Rome, a symbol of the The Empire of the Pope's victory. West sought to bring the Church to Avignon, but once again Rome conquered. This story is told in the "Pillar of the Vatican." The Renaissance, "The Return of the Gods," was an apparent rebellion against the spirit of the Church, but Chesterton justly observes that the Renaissance cannot be considered apart from the Church. United Italy made Rome their national capital, and yet "The Holy Island" tells the story of a new kingdom on the Rome is eternal beVatican Hill. cause it is the city of the Popes, and the inherent power of the Papacy has been the cause of Rome's oft-repeated Mr. Chesterton's book resurrection. Perhaps makes interesting reading. it will not appeal to all. Some would prefer a simpler theme, an appreciation of the rich treasures of the Eternal City, or more direct impressions of the Catholic Rome of to-day. And yet the book is a robust declaration of faith and of love for all that Rome means to the Catholic world. As such it recommends itself to Catholic readers. ("The Resurrection of Rome:' G.

Father Otto Raible, the Administrator Apostolic of the Kimberleys, who is at present the guest of His Grace the Archbishop at St. Mary's, Victoria Square, has given an interview to the representative of the "West Australian,' which we take the liberty of publishing. The interview graciously describes the distinguished missionary as follows: Tall of stature, though slight of figure, with flowing black -beard and moustache, Father Otto Raible, Administrator Apostolic of the Kimberleys, arid Chief Superior of the Beagle Bay and Lombadina, aboriginal missions, who arrived in Perth on Saturday, is a picturesque figure. Kindliness, courtesy, and enthusiasm for his work are enduring impressions of him. He succeeded the late Father Droste and arrived from Germany in June, 1928. A fter attending the Eucharistic Congress in Sydney, in September of that year, he went to the iNorth-West. Be. f ore coming to this State he was engaged in missionary work in the CameHe will proroons in West Africa. bably return to the North-West at the end of the month. Father Raible said on Tuesday that the Beagle Bay and Lombadina Missions were opened by the late Bishop Gibney, of Perth, in 1890. He secured the services of twelve Trappist monks from France. These monks controlled the mission up to 1900, but the rigid rules of their organisation did not permit them to devote the necessary attention to the missionary work. They the Pallotine were succeeded by Fathers --an international order with headquarters in Rome—where the Father-General was located. There were about 500 members of this order. Provinces had been established in Italy. Germany. Ireland, Poland. and Brazil, and missions had been founded all over the world with the exception of Asia. At one time the establishment of a mission in China was contemplated, but a shortage of priests prevented this. The Pallotine Fathers in Australia were engaged in work in this State. There were six priests and seven Brothers. Two Fathers and six Brothers were located at Beagle Bay. two Fathers at Broome. one Father at Lombadina, and one Father and two Brothers at Tardum, near Mullewa. Referring to the missionary work. Father Raible said that the, Beagle Bay Mission was 84 miles north of Broome, and Lombadina was 50 miles further south. The work consisted in en. deavouring to teach the aboriginals and half-castes to be pseful members of society. There were about 230 aboriginal men, women, and children at Beagle Bay, and about 70 at Lomba. rlina. About 200 acres at Beagle Bay were under cultivation, all kinds of A shortage vegetables being grown. militated Lombadina of water at against a large area being brought Fifty acres had under cultivation. Rice was also grown been cleared. at Beagle Bay. Two years ago about four tons of rice was secured from eight acres, and this year there was every prospect of a good ,crop being obtained. Efforts had been made to cultivate tobacco, but with little success. When the plants attained a certain growth they were attacked by in. Surplus vegesects and destroyed. tables were marketed at Broome, but at present, owing to the depression, there was only a limited demand at that centre. The aboriginal women were engaged in the gardens and rice farm, while the men did the ploughing Facilities were proand heavy work vided for the male aboriginals to learn trades. They were taught carpentery. blacksmithing, saddlery. bootmaking. t ailoring, baking. broom making and tanning. The girls were taught sew. ing. cooking, and other domestic work. The men received instruction from the Brother, while the girls were taught he the Sicters of St. John of God Con. vent, which was in the mission grounds. The main support of the missions was cattle, of which there were about 3,000 head. Despite the poor country, the An. cattle were in good condition. rangcments were made to send 500 head to the south this year, but as a protective measure against pleuro pneumonia, no cattle were permitted to be driven overland from the North-West Singing and Acting. Enthusiasm with regard to the singing of the aboriginal children was ex. pressed by Father Raible. Some time ago he said the natives, under the direction of the Sisters, staged some Biblical scenes. The presentation, which was by gesture only no words being On anspoken, was very effective. other occasion the natives sang for two
The death occurred in the St. John of God Hospital, on Sunday last, of Sister M. Ita, of the Josephite Convent, South Perth. The deceased nun had spent forty years in the religious life, twenty-five of which were spent in W.A. Of latter years she had endured continual ill-health with admirable patience and fortitude; but her death comes as a doubly severe blow to the Sisters-of St. Joseph, following so close as it does on the death of the late Provincial, Sister M. Blandina. A Requiem Mass for the soul of the deceased Sister was celebrated on Tuesday last by His. Grace the Archbishop, in St. Joseph's Church, Subiaco. A large number of Sisters of St. Joseph, religious of other Orders, and lay peo. Among the ple attended the Mass. priests present were: Right Rev, Monsignor Fagan. Very Rev.

Fathers Moloney, O'Reilly, O'Neill, Donagher, Crowley, Masterson, McKeon, Prendiville, Mc' Mahon, Kenny, O'Connor, Cunningham, The Kelly, Lenihan, and Sullivan. Mass was chanted by the priests' choir. After the imparting of the Last Abaci. lution, His Grace the Archbishop, in a short panegyric. said that his first duty was to extend his heartfelt sympathy to the Sisters of St. Joseph.

Will you not give me a few minutes if I do my best to tell about a Silver Jubilee? You may then go back and delight Yourself again with golden thoughts about the golden bird. It all happened at St. Dominick's Priory, Dongarra. on the 22nd. of Jam', On that day three of the ary, 1931 Sisters—Rev. Mother Vincent, Sister M. Hyacinth, and Sister M. Patrick— were keeping the 25th. anniversary of their Religious Profession. Twenty-five What a long time, I thought. Years! Surely they had merited whatever happiness and honours come with a Silver Jubilee. The Bishop of Geraldton, Rt. Rev. Dr. O'Collins. arrived, together with Rev. Fathers Lynch and Halpin. The Solemn High Mass began at 9.30. It was sung by the Bishop. assisted by Rev. Father Halpin as Deacon. ann Father Lynch at Sub-Deacon. Father Kennedy was ME. Kneeling among a large gathering of the Sisters' friends, I noticed a little silvery band very neatly woven in and out among the flowers on the beautifully decorated altar. I could hear some very silvery notes coming from the choir behind me. All things are silvery for the Silver Jubilee, I thought. During the Mass the Bishop He conaddressed the jubilarians. gratulated them, and thanked God for the blessing of the twenty-five years He had given them in His Divine service. He spoke of their lives of sacrifice and of the senice they render to Mankind. He prayed that God might give them many still more fruitful years leading up to the joys and blessings of a Golden Jubilee. At 3 pm., there was Solemn Benediction, given by His Lordship, assisted by Rev. Fathers Lynch and Halpin. Then later on came a musical entertainment. The joyful songs and the music, "faint and sweet," seemed to fill the place with happiness. I stole a look at the jubilarians. They were typ in the "seventh- heaven." Once more I thought—if only my silver hairs could win for me some kind of silver jubilee, wouldI not be happy? Yet,Icould never be as happy as these Sisters. Before we prepared to go, the Chaplain. Rev. Father Kennedy, said some words of thanks on behalf of Rev. Mother and the jubilarians. He thankBishop for the blessings he hao ccl brought them through the High Mass and Solemn Benediction, and for the favour of his bright presence throughout the day. There was a word of thanks for Rev. Fathers Lynch and Halpin, and for all the music-makers of the evening. But listen! Just as I was going out the door, some one said: "Did you The bear about the 'Golden Eagle" Perhaps your famous bird again! thoughts already soar in his direction. I believe that in days to come mine will often return in their wayward flight to that Silver Jubilee celebration. It was a very hapy day for me. How happy must the jubilarians themselves have beenl

A Terrible Visitation The appalling results of the earthquake which has desolated part of the North Island of the New Zealand Dominion, has touched the heart of Australia with a great- sympathy for those who have suffered by the visitation. Coming so swiftly in the early morning, without any indication of the awfulness that was to overwhelm such a wide area, it will be remarkable if the loss of life is not much larger than is up to now recorded. For the victims we feel the greatest sympathy. - The beautiful towns of Napier and Hastings have been practically- destroyed, and many homes have been stricken by the grim spoiler, Death. In Napier alone, it is reported, more than a hundred deaths have occurred, and other casualties are numbered at a thousand. In the space of less than a quarter of an-hour, two important towns were tumbled into ruins, as though battered by the shells of an enemy, and the countryside desolated. With ruthless severity, the fiendish current traversed the unfortunate areas, leaving in its trail an awesome wreckage. God pity the victims. It is an appalling circumstance. We who are so far away from the scene of the disaster, and who have but faint notion of the horrors of an earthquake when keyed-up to full working order, can only imagine in dim and uncertain way the realities of such an extraordinary and uncanny happening, and moralise on the effects and guess at the physical causes. A fter all science has done, and the wonders it is accredited with, it has not been able to anticipate, so far as we know, seismic disturbances, and upon those disturbances scientists can only learnedly expatiate without definitely understanding their cause. Science has done nothing, and can do nothing, to limit their scope In their presence science stands abashed. or to prevent them. Beneath the earth and the sea a fiendish current runs and plays havoc at will with towns and cities, and we wonder in amazed horror and ask the question why the earth is so troubled within. Perhaps as good a reason as any is that our materialistic world needs an occasional awakening to remind it that there is a Masterful force governing this grey old earth, that will not, and cannot, be controlled by the finite mind of man. * In the 18th. century, there were several great earthquakes, which were attended with appalling loss of life. About 30,000 people perished in the great quake of Lisbon, which extended over a very wide area. Numerous earthquakes, many of them attended with fearful devastations, have since taken place in different quarters of the Globe. The Japanese visitation caused widespread havoc, and in a lesser degree the somewhat recent Italian earthquake. These two latter manifestations of an occult force, that so far has defeated the powers of human genius to control, touched the chords of pity in the human breast, and evoked world-wide sorrow. Because of the many pathetic incidents connected with this latest earthquake, the deepest and most sincere sympathy must be felt for our New Zealand neighbours who are victims of the disaster, and for the people of the Dominion generally, to whom it is a terribly wounding blow. Perhaps the most tragic and poignant incidents recorded are the cruel overwhelming at the Napier Technical School of 40 boys, who had just returned to their studies after the Christmas vacation. The school is a mass of debris. The other is the destruction of the Marist Seminary at Greenmeadows, where nine were killed. Anxiety in Catholic circles is felt for the fate of the schools in St. Patrick's Parish, Napier. The parish is in charge of the Marist Order. It has a parochial school for boys and three parochial schools conducted In- Sisters of Our Lady of the Missions, a high school for girls, and a Maori boarding school for girls. Hastings has a large parochial school conducted by eight Sisters of St. Joseph of Nazareth. It is not known if these schools had concluded the vacation and re-opened for the new year. and the lack of such knowledge gives reason for grave Our hope is that a kind Providence has anxiety for their fate. been merciful to them.

In the Gospel Our Lord foretells His Passion. The Son of Man "shall be as.
livered to the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and scourged, and spit upon. and after they have scourged Him they will put Him to death, and the third day he shall rise again." It was to the Apostles that He spoke these words, but "they understood not the things that were said." They had not
yet grasped the mystery of the Cross at all. "That mystery only became clear to them through the descent of the Holy Ghost. "By putting this
Gospel before us to-day the Church reminds us that the season of Lent is at

As t hey drew nigh to Jerusalem a blind man who sat begging by the wayside, and had heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out to Him: "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me." The crowd rebuked him, but he only cried out much more and Jesus rewarded his faith and perseverance by asking him: "What wilt thou that I do for thee?" "Lord, that I may see." And Jesus said to him! "Receive thy sight; thy faith bath made thee whole." The prayer of the blind man—Lord, that I may see—is a fitting one for us.

News and Notes A meeting of the St. Patrick's Day; Celebrations Committee will be held in the Cathedral Hall, Murray-street, on Monday evening next, 9th. inst., at o'clock. * * The St. Patrick's Day celebrations this year (March 171 will take the form of a grand national concert, arrangements for which are in progress. The committee have decided to dispense with the usual procession on account of the depression, realising that considerable expense is entailed by parents in dressing their childhen for such an occasion. • • • "We went the other day to St. Peter's and prayed at the tomb of the Cardinal (Merry del Val)," writes a visitor to the Eternal City. "His tomb is always covered with flowers and generally (there is) a lighted candle or two in token of the love and affection which he has gained from the people. For the flowers are brought by many— not just one or two large bouquets of expensive blooms, but rather gifts from his poorer friends, which, I am sure. is what he would have liked. Every one, too, kneels and says a prayer there." The late Cardinal (comments the "Catholic Times") would seem to have earned these proofs of affectionate remembrance by his own fidelity to the memory of his former beloved master and friend, the saintly Pius X. On the 20th. of every month he would offer the Holy Sacrifice at the Pontiff's tomb, now nearly opposite his own, even coming from a distance for the purpose. He was faithfully at his post last February 20th., only six days previous to his unexpected and deeplyregretted death. 4' The fortieth anniversary of the "Rerum Novarum," the famous Encyclical of Pope Leo XIII., is to be celeThe offibrated in Rome next year. cial programme has been published.

Another newspaper absurdity has Stalin, the Russian been exposed. Dictator, was never a pupil of the Jesuits, or in a Catholic seminary. An American leader writer made the following statement in an American newspaper, in a reference to the Dictator: "Training in a Jesuit school, against which he soon revolted, of course, probably furthered both his notions and practice of rigid self-discipline." There is no foundation for the statement, other than the inability of the writer to understand the reason, or one of the reasons, given by Stalin for be. coming a Marxist: "Jesuitic repression and the martinet intolerance of the Orthodox seminary where I spent some The Rev. Dr. Edmund A. years." Walsh. Si., who is an authority on the situation in Russia to-day, points out Stalin could not have attended a Jesuit school, for the excellent reason that at the time referred to there were no Jesuits in Russia, and, consequently, no Jesuit school. The fact is that. as Stalin himself say, he was a pupil at the Russian Orthodox seminary at Tiflis. He may have revolted against it, but his mother says he left it because of his health, whilst the vox populi declares that he was expelled. • Christian martyrdom in a terrible form, says the "Universe," has been suffered by a Catholic missionary, Father Marcus, at the hands of Chinese Communist brigands in the mountainous district, south-east of Ilupeh. Father Marcus was driven out of his parish in November last, but returned with the intention of rescuing his vestments and the sacred vessels. When he arrived at the mission station, he

A rope was tied round his neck, and he was slowly strangled. His murderers buried him without troubling to make a coffin. • • Among recent conversions to the Church in England, is Mr. H. C. Thomas, who shortly before completing his term at Shrewsbury, England's famous public school, was received into the Catholic Church. As head boy, it was his duty to read the lessons and take other parts in the school's religious services, but his conversion raised no difficulties singe he had won a scholarship to Cambridge and has now left the school. Mr. Thomas is 19 years of age. Leaving the school before his term expired, an uncharitable report was spread about that he was expelled. The head master, Canon Sawyer, denied the report. "He left the school (says the Canon) in a perfectly natural way and of his own free will. He was a very fine fellow, a credit to the school, and he takes with him the good wishes of every one." It is recalled that a parallel conversion was that of Father C. C. Martindale, S.J., who was received into the Church on leaving Harrow, and went straight from school to the Jesuit Novitiate. Half a ton of narcotics, estimated to be worth £200,000, were seized recently in New York Harbour by American Customs officials. The packing cases hidden were containing the drugs among furs on a French steamship.

The Question Box
Irish Missionary Captured by Chinese "Reds" Cruelly Scourged by Communists Very Rey. Cornelius Tierney, of the Maynooth Mission to China, and a native of Clones, Co. Monaghan, having fallen into the hands of Chinese Communists, has been barbarously treated by them, and is being held captive for ransom. The Chinese Communist methods of dealing with Missionaries in the interior are vividly described in the letter from the Irish Catholic missionary in Kiangsi Province to his Shanghai headIt tells the story of the quarters. capture of the writer's colleague and the desecration of the churches of the St. Columban's Mission. The letter says:— "Fathes- Tierney is still held by bandits. The following are the facts as far as I know. He got the word the bandits were not far off, but did not believe the rumour. The following ,morning he rang the bell far Mass. The bandits were just entering the village, and when .they heard it they immediately surrounded the church. Father Tierney was captured just at the door. They tied his hands, stripped him, and brutally scourged him. "Afterwards they threw a soldier's cloak round his shoulders and made fun of his sufferings. "For five days they kept him in that state, one hand always tied to his They gave him only rice to body. eat. Carried on a Ladder.

They placed him on a ladder and carried him to Nang Feng. "While in Song Tangshu some of the Catholic Chinese approached him. "They say he was a pitiable sight, suffering front malaria at the time.

Everything in the house was looted- not a thing left. The Reds took our clothes and everything they could find and threw them out on the street. "The Catholic Chinese saved some food stuffs, and the orphans 'were able to rescue a few articles of clothing. The chalices and some of the vestments were saved "Father Kerr was in hiding when the bandits came, and had a narrow escape. They came within a few yards cf his hiding place Fathers Duffy and McManus are safe out in the mountains. Father Teng, the Chinese priest in Nang Feng, also managed to escape though everything there was looted or destroyed. Spies Everywhere. "We do not know how things will end. There are now a thousand Gov. eminent soldiers in the town, but the Reds are only thirty miles away and may conle back at any time. When they arrive in a district it is impossible to escape, for they have spies everywhere. "We must leave all things in the hands of God. "Everyone, both Catholic and pagan, has great sympathy for Father Tierney. The pagans spoke tip for him, and tried to defend him when the Reds were beating him. The Catholics are marvellous, and doing their utmost for him. We cannot hut feel very proud of them." Bandit's Demand. Later, the same priest writes:—
"A letter has just been received from Father Tierney. He has been given o ver to the local Reds--the same who murdered Father Leonard last year I Rev. Father Timothy Leonard, on They are demanding July 13, 1929'. 40.000- Mexican—dollars as ransom, and threaten that if it is not paid within three weeks he will be put to death. Father Tierney writes that his strength is failing, and asks for prayers that he may be able to stand it. He himself is quite resigned to die" IRISH CENSORSHIP. "An Rioghacht," a society of lay:" men seeking to promote Catholic Action, particularly in the direction of doctrinal study, asks for a radical alteration in the present method of censoring publications. "An Rioghacht" —Gaelic word meaning "The Kingdom" - -was founded four years ago by Father Edward Cahill, S.J. Its members are chiefly university graduates, and its branches extend to many of the chief towns of the Saorstat. • The present system of censorship is that all publications may circulate freely until complaints brought before the Minister for Justice induce him to ban them. The change suggested by "An Rioghacht" is that no publication should be imported into the Saorstat until it has been licensed by the Censorship Board. Matter printed in the Saorstat would be allowed to circulate as at present, since no instance has arisen of any publication printed in the Saorstat containing objectionable matter. The suggestion has received widespread approval front representative Catholics both in the press and on One writer points public platforms. out that the extra expense of such a general censorship could be defrayed by a small fee payable by persons applying to have their publications licensed. Such fees the writer claims, would be more equitable than those now enforced, which have to be paid by persons bringing the objectionable publications to the notice of the Censorship Board. General interest has been heightened by a demand from the Catholic Truth Society for a more rigid inforcement of the Censorship against news agents selling papers which contain advertisements for contraceptives. The Minister for Justice has pointed out that such news-vendors are protected if they can show that they could not by reasonable care have known or ascertained the contents of the book or other publications in which such an advertisement appeared. The Minister makes it clear that this provision applies only to isolated and comparatively obscure advertisements and is intended to protect only news agents who have inadvertently sold prohibit. ed matter. HIGH COMMISSIONER FOR FREE STATE. The Irish Free State Government announces that Mr. John W. Dulanty, C R., C.B.E., has been appointed High Commissioner in London, which office was vacated recently by Professor T. A . Smiddy, on his becoming a member of the Government Tariff Commission recently sot up in Dublin. Educated at the University of Manchester, Mr. Dulanty, who is a well-known Catholic, held the post of Secretary to its Faculty of Technology, and had good work to his credit also as Educational Adviser to the Indian Students in certain of the Northern Universities. Entering the Higher Division of the Civil Service before the war, he had rapid promotion as Examiner in the Board of Education, an Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, and Principal Secretary of the Ministry of Munitions. After acting for several years as Managing Director and Deputy Chair -

man .of a leading retail distributing store in London, Mr. Dulanty accepted the invitation of the Irish Free State Government to become their Chief Commissioner for Trade in Great Britain. It is understood that he will continue his work on trading matters, together with the duties of the High Commissioner. He represents the Irish Free State on the Imperial Economic Committee, and on the Empire Marketing Board, and is a former President of the London Commercial Club. THE LATE MR. JOHN ROOFER. One of the ablest and most industrious member of the Irish Civil Service disappears with the death of Mr. John Hooper, whose work as director of the s tatistical department of the Irish Free State had been invaluable in the work of national reconstruction and in the framing of economic policy. He had for years been connected with the statistical department of the Department of Agriculture and Technical Instruction, which became an important national asset under the direction of After Mr. Coyne's Mr. W. P. Coyne. death the position was occupied by Professor W. G. S. Adams, now Gladstone Professor of Economics at Oxford. To carry on the work that had been directed by two men of such brilliant gifts required very exceptional abilities, and Mr. Hooper proved himself fully equal to the task. His annual surveys published in the reports of the Department of Agriculture contained an immense amount of skilful analysis and of valuable comparisons with the statistics of other -countries, such as few Government departments elsewhere provide. His great industry was the more remarkable because of constant ill-health and sufferings which he bore with admirane fortitude. WEEKLY PRODUCE MARKET REPORT.

Divorce. T he Catholic position in regard to divorce is very easily stated. Once • marriage is valid and complete, it cannot be dissolved; there is no going back on the part of the persons married. The marriage tie lasts as long as life. This is expressed even in the marriage ceremony, when each of the contracting parties. in formally accepting the other as husband or wife, uses the words "until death do us part." Consequently there cannot be, in the eyes of the Church, any such thing as divorce, which pretends to dissolve the bond of marriage. Sometimes we hear speak of a declaration of nullity. This means that what seemed to be a this marriage was not such, on account of some impediment, which invalidated it from the beginning. Sometimes also, in extreme cases, the Church may grant a separation, which frees husband and wife from any obligation to lead a life on. The marriage, however, in co remains, and neither party is free to remarry until the death of the other. The fact remains that the Church does not admit such a thing as the divorce of a valid marriage. -

The Church of Christ. The Catholic Church claims Christ as her Founder, and claims to derive all her teaching from Him. It is quite beside the point to say that God might have given to the world a religious system, in which the individual service of God would count for everything, and dogma for very little. Be this as it may, the Church states, and proves her statement, that Christ founded a visible Church, to which He wished all On this, and ultimen to belong. mately on her affirmation of the Divinity of Christ, the Church bases her claim to teach with authority.

Insurance For Lost Jobs The man who sees his home in ashes, his goods sunk at sea, his crops ruined by hail, his automobile wrecked, or even his life in danger, may get some comfort from the fact that he is covered by an insurance policy. But how about the man and his job —whether he wears a white collar or blue overalls? What is he to do when his most precious possession—the job that feeds and clothes him and his family, and lets them go to the movies once in a while—is taken from him, and his income is cut off? 'The answer, says New York State's Democratic Governor Roosevelt, is to insure the worker against unemployment. The Governor may be called a Bob shevic for it, he admits, but he says he is in good company, and seems to have little fear on that score. Governor Roosevelt's silvery oratory reminds many of his hearers of the who speeches of Woodrow 'Wilson wove such a spell over his audiences, when Governor of New Jersey, that he won the nomination for President. Friends of Mr. Roosevelt are hoping for a similar result in 1932 for him. While some unfriendly papers smell politics in his plan, others strongly hope that his advocacy of this remedy will lead to something. Governor Roosevelt came out for unemployment _insurance in an address before the convention of the New York State Federation of Labour, at Buffalo. As quoted by the New York - Times" correspondent. he said: "I hope that the next administration and the next legislature will take up a practical, definite study of uncutof avoiding, ployment insurance, course, any form of dole, and basing their investigation on sound insurance lines under which the State. the emplo)-er. and the employee would all be joint premium-payers:" Pointing out that the General Electric Company and other large employers already have inaugurated systems of unemployment insurance. the Governor went on: "If they are doing it, is it radicat or Communistic •e- Bolshevistic for us to do it as part of a humanitarian movement? "Most of the civilised countries of the world have undertaken a govern• mentsupervised programme to alleviate the distress of fluctuation in employment. I have noticed that those countries, notably Germany. which have adopted the most scientific. sensible, and far-reaching systems of unemployment insurance, are in the van in staging a comeback in economic and social development. Why are we behind the procession? "Now.I want to talk about that subject, although, I know that certain financial- journals will call me a Bob shevie. "You and I are very definitely aware of two very definite facts. The first is that reckless and deceptive promises that this country would never again have a wide-spread condition of unemployment have not only not been felfilled but, broadly speaking, the unemployment situation in the United States is to-day more serious than at any time since 1893. "Secondly, we are fully aware that the tendency of the present industrial system makes it increasingly difficult for any man or woman past forty years old to find a new job. "To meet the first fact, the State of New York is now engaged in a definnite effort to level, in so far as possible, the peaks and valleys of employment. Already we have obtained the coemeration of several hundred large . employers of labour. . "This effort of the State is, I am glad to say, receiving the hearty co-operation of the more far-sighted employers, and I am confident that further study and further effort along this, line will • bring real results in the future. "On the second point, of men and women who find it increasingly difficult to get new 'work after they pass the forty-year mark, we have a definite illustration of why unemployment insur ance and old-age security are very similar problems and ought to be considered hand in hand with each other. "I have said that the feasts of yes terdav do not satisfy our hunger today, but it is wholly possible to set some portion of yesterday's feast aside in cold storage, - as it were, to satisfy to-morrow's hunger." A clean-cut division of editorial opinion greets Governor Roosevelt's stand, which was previously noticed. Praised by some papers for taking the lead in urging this form of industrial relief, he is criticised by others for proposing a "dole," for asking something "impossible.' and accused of talking for political effect.
-It is possible to infer from the Gov. ernur's speech," says the New York "Herald Tribune" (Rep.), "that his real hope is directed rather toward the production of votes in November than t oward the production of a working amelioratiott of the ills of the trade cycle.Continuing along this line: "Until the Governor gets down to concreate ways and means, his declaration will amount to little more than a declaration that he opposes cyclical depression and losses of work. This is a laudable stand, but hardly an original one. Perhaps the Governor also opposes the man-eating shark." Equally critical is another New York State paper, the Utica "Press" (Ind.), which advances the argument that litho State can not justifiably be expected to assume the burden of relief against unemployment if it has no control over the industrial forces which create the condition this scheme would be designed to correct." But just as strong is the praise for the New York Executive. "If Governor Roosevelt succeeds in getting a sound insurance system adopted in his State, he will win enduring fame," declares the Providence "News-Tribune" (mod.). "It is indeed heartening to hear that a leader of one of the two major political parties has at last definitely committed himself in support of unemployment insurance," asserts the New Haven "Journal-Courier" (Indb, which then proceeds to answer the arguments made by the Governor's critics. It is "ridiculous," in the opinion of this paper, to call unemployment insurance a dole— "Unemployment instance is as much a creditable business practise as is life, and fire insurance, about which no one thinks of protesting. "As for those who insist that the Government should not interfere in business, we can only say that the United States Government. like all others, has been doing that for many years. At a time when a major party in power takes pains to -Make itself synonymous with prosperity, it is ridiculous to assert that government ia not responsible for the continued welfare of its citizens."—"Literary Digest "

If the umnortified movements of nature make us speak or act in opposition to the principles we profess, we must chasten them with severity until they obey us. If we had to die just now, what What account would become of us? should we render of so many aids, of so many graces which we have received, and of so many souls lost on our account? The Holy Family is the example for all families: the model family of ChrisThat is why the names of tendom. Jesus, Mary, and Joseph are so commonly associated in our prayers. Let one who is in desolation think that with grace he iS powerful, that it is sufficient to enable him to resist all his enemies, and let him find strength in his Lord and Creator. If we are well with God, all is well with us, though the thickest darkness of adversity be round and aboua. If we are not well with Him, nothing is well with us. though the best and brightest of earth be at our feet—Father Faber. Aridity ought not to depress us, nor consolation to make us proud; in the former state, we must remember' the benefits which we have already received, and, with regard to the second, not to forget that it is a gift from God which we have not deserved. Here is the difference between the joys of the world and the Cross of Jesus Christ, after having tasted of the former, we become disgusted with them. but, on the contrary, the more deeply we drink of the Cross, the more do we thirst for it. A motive which ought with irresistible force to animate us to obey is the living example of the God-Man, Jesus Christ Our Lord, dwelling under the same roof with His parents. He was subject to them, and in that Holy Family, the Virgin Mary, our common Queen, was subject to Joseph.

CHARACTER MAKING. Many forget that character grows; that it is not something to put on ready-made; day by day, here a little, there a little, it grows with one's growth, and strengthens with one's strength, until, good or bad, it becomes almost a coat of mail. Look at a man of business—prompt, reliable, conscientious, yet clear-headed and energetic. When do you suppose' he developed all these good qualities? When he was a boy.

Let us see how a boy of 10 years gets up in the morning, works, plays, studies, and we can tell you just what kind of a man he will make. The boy that is late at breakfast, late at school, stands a poor chance of being a prompt man. The boy who neglects his duties, be they ever so small, and then excuses himself by saying, "I forgot; I didn't think," will never be a reliable man: and the boy who finds pleasure in the suffering of weak creatures will never he a noble, generous, kind man.
