-: Anglo-Irish Lyrics Sung in the Circus When we were Boys (By THOMAS JONES, in the "Cork About that time in the eighties of the last century, when Sir Arthur Sullivan, son of a military bandmaster of Irish parentage, was busy, in collaboration with Mr. Gilbert, producing the most brilliant of his comic operas, at the time, too, when "Little Mary Cassidy," the "OuId Plaid Shawl," "Maw reen," etc., fresh from the poetic imagination of their authors, were new and popular with the Irish in London, there were in a lower school here at home in Ireland other bards singing their own songs to vast audiences at a weekly wage, giving perhaps quite as much pleasure and doing just as much good, and these were none other than the "Irish clowns" in the summer Mexican Circus, "just arrived in Ireland after touring the United States of AmAnd surely when Powell and erica." Clarke's Great Paragon Circus, or Lloyd's Mexican Circus, or Ginnett's, visited our old town, some forty years tgo, what a delightful day we had; no work for the schoolmaster that day; a greater school than his with easier lessons was now opened—the circus had arrived; the circus with its caravans and coaches, elephants and camels, spotted dogs, spotted ponies, spotted clowns and strangely dressed ladies; then, the "to-the -devil-may-care" air of the wagoners, and their strange speech; the great tent and the small tents serving it: all with new lessons, surprisingly new: and with the blue sky above us, the summer weather hot and sultry, and the whole show gathered into one place on the green, we had before us a strange picture indeed — a bit of Texas here and of Mexico there, a bit of Bagdad close by and of Delhi across the way; and Johnny Paterson, the Irish clown from New York, in the midst of all. self-satisfied, bland, and smoking a cigar.

For to cross the briny ocean, And I'm off to Philadelphia in the morning. With my bundle on my shoulder, etc., etc. A fter the chorus, in which the greater part of the audience joined, the band, which during the singing had accompanied with much restraint, blew forth a deafening echo of the melody; and this, with the increased excitement in all parts af the house was so great, that the hitherto sagged roof of the marquee showed a decided tendency to blow out into the domeshaped or hemispheric form so loved in architecture Johnny Paterson, the Irish Clown. The song was soon among the most popular in Ireland. and even to-day, with the words "revised and edited by Stephen Temple," it is often inquired for in our local music stores. John Paterson, "the Irish Clown" and the reputed author of this lyric, was a native o f Ennis, his father. I am informed, being a sailor. It would appear that as a young man he had emigrated and, having a good singing voice. some native Irish wit, and histrionic ability, he visited Ireland annually as "clown" in one of those American circuses so common in his day. He was in Lloyd's Mexican Circus in the eighties when the writer had the pleasure of seeing him in Bandon. . He died in Ireland and was buried in Tralee, followed to the grave by one of the largest funerals seen there tip to his time. Some of my readers may have heard him in the following:—

The terms in English ridiculing loud young men who make themselves con. spictious by over-showy dress, as fop, loddie-daw-laddie dah, dude, dandy, masher, swell, swank toff, gent, etc, are in more common use in the States than among us, and occasionally one of these words or some other Americanism in the song points plainly to the homeland of the author. The following could easily be assigned to an Irish-American source; and what a thrill it is for those who appreciate " the twiddle of the fiddle" to listen to M r Ilan Murphy's execution at the ale outside his pub— " Dan Murphy would bring out his fiddle, W hile his daughter looked after the Then the music would ring and some grand songs we'd sing, At the stone outside Dan Murphy' door." It's easy guessing why Dan's claugh ter remained in looking after the "store," for the young creature couldn't suffer her father's fiddling, and so busied herself within, telling her young man in confidence how the boss had a drop in, and so had dropped out t. the stone to play "The Coulin" to col •i himself. The lethargy of the movement in "Annie Rooney" will always remind us of the tired circus horse, the powdered lady in the tight cottons, and the floury clown of the cherried features The chorus only this time— "She's my sweetheart. I'm her beau; She's my Annie, I'm her Joe. Soon we'll be married, never more to part. For little Annie Rooney is my sweetheart." Here was an opportunity for the ff ute and piccolo of the band, but the I rass blowers wouldn't be restrained and brazened it out from beginning to end. Then, when the ring and the band had tired of the amorous, they drivelled off into emigration again, and perhaps ic, c. ,1 the doleful, soreful. sorHiinful and agonising rowful,

wail of the "Young Husband of Kilkenny"— "Some years ago Kilkenny town I left with heart so sad, For foreign parts to seek for work To clothe my wife and lads. I left a wife, a darling wife, She was more than life to me, All in our lowly cottage home And fared across the sea. Chorus. From my home, sweet home, lowly, poor and sad; My home sweet home, it nearly makes me mad To think upon the little ones I left behind at home, Around their mother's empty hands in that home, sweet home." But the quick-step, buoyant optimism in "Paddy Keane" sends us home in good humour— "With the big turf fire and the house nice and clean, Now who is as happy as me, Paddy Keane? To the baby in the cradle I hear the mother say— Won't you go to sleep, alannah, till I make your daddy's tea." And now I am done, except to say that "To-ra-ra-boom-de-ay," "The Man That Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo," "A Bicycle Made for Two," were much more popular at the time amongst ol us than any of Johnny Patterson's or Johnny Quinn's melodies.

Among the World's Largest Volcanoes PRIEST SCIENTIST TELLS HIS

EXPERIENCES

"Valley of the Thousand Smokes. Projecting the atmosphere, spirit aid tang of adventure that were part and parcel of his thrilling jaunts through the rugged and bizarre wilds of Alaska, Father Hubbard, S.J., in a two-hour lecture at Washington, related an impressive story of his exploring treks along the far-flung peninsula, across seemingly endless, sharply-pinnacled glaciers, monotonous tundras, through bounding rivers, over almost impregnable ice cliffs, along the rims of the world's largest volcanoes, and into the smoking mouths of the volcanoes themselves—all in the interest of geology and for the love of a science that has been the Jesuit's allabsorbing passion as priest and hardy pioneer. Father Hubbard's lecture was sponsored by the U.S. Geological Survey, and was given in the auditorium of the Department of the Interior. His remarks accompanied the showing of hundreds of feet of motion pictures taken on his little expeditions into the glowering wastes of this country's northernmost possession. Land of Anomalies. Himself openly impressed by what he has seen and discovered, the Jesuit explorer declared that, without exception, Alaska is the land of the unusual where anomalies, almost freaks of nature, abound, and where size and distance stagger comprehension. "If 1 were to come upon a dinosaur in Alaska," he said, "I would not be sun prised." He explained that, after years of exploration in Switzerland, where he learned the art of scaling sheer cliffs with nothing but a mountain pick and a sure foot to aid him, he had planned to "visit" Alaska and then spend some time investigating the volcanic pheno mena of New Zealand. -However," he said, "whenI reached Alaska I found that if I had three lifetimes in which to liveIcould not begin to scratch the surface of things to be tound in that wonderland." In his several trips the priest touch, d many parts of the south-eastern sec. aka of the peninsula untrod before by the foot of Indian or white man. The purpose of his expeditions was to make detailed studies of the great craters of Aniakchak, Veniaminuff. and Katmai, the last named known as the "moon crater of Alaska," because of its resemblance to the outline and formation of the most prominent craters on the :ace of Earth's satellite. Not only were his hardships and efforts rewarded by invaluable additions to the geological data of that sec. lion of the world, but he definitely established that Aniakchak, reputed to be extinct by no less a person than Mr. Sargent, of the U.S. Geological Survey of 1922, was still active. The events of his treks to the volcanoes, to Kodiak Island, traditional home of the great bears, and to the -Valley of the Thousand Smokes," were almost as thrilling as his first sight of the phenomenal craters. Taking with him football "stars" from the University of Santa Clara, fitted because of their peculiar physical qualifications, to withstand the hardships of the arduous tourneys, Father Hubbard set out with The dogs were the four pack dogs. best type of pack animal for the expedition since heavier beasts of burden would not lend themselves to being hauled to great heights and over rough obstacles. New Wonders Disclosed. At every turn of the journey new wonders were disclosed, not a few of which were almost contradictory, such as tropical flowers within the Arctic 4 lircle and verdant forests contrasting sharply with barren cliffs and the glis tening white snows capping towering peaks. Five days of the most difficult travel. in the course of which at times paths had to be cut through thickets with axes, rivers forded, precipices scaled. fought. and blizzards encountered quicksand, formed by the fine lava dust of the region, negotiated, brought them to the base of Katmai. When they reached the top the sight that met their eyes beggared description. Thera lay a lake in the three-mile

crater thousands of feet deep, making the canyons of tourist fame in western United States ditches by Comparison. After investigating the geological formation of Katmai's crater they pushed on to the wonder that was Aniakchak. The majestic beauty of Katmai impressed them, but the infinite variety o f Aniakchak caught their imaginations with even greater force. In attempting to climb the mountain crowned by the rim of the great crater, they alThey most abandoned their efforts. pushed on finally and before raising their heads over the top they knelt down and offered up to the Creator the sight that was about to meet their e ves. gasped. looked—and They then Stretched out before them was an,expanse of twenty-three miles across to the opposite side the rim. Within they saw another volcano, or vent mountain, rising out of the deep crater, immaculate in a cape of snow. This new vol. rano was as large as Vesuvius.

Through the whole expanse were the tracks of great Kodiak bears, tracks they had seen before they had arrived at the volcano, and that had led them to find the crevice in the great rim that forms what entrance there is to the giant mountain top. Haying no idea of the discovery that was in store for them, Father Hubbard and his party felt convinced that Antiakchak was a dead volcano. Katmai, with its eight and a half mile circumference rim, was then considered to be the largest active volcano in the world. But the tracks of bears were instrumental in changing that view. For Aniakchak was active. They followed fresh bear tracks, and in doing so came upon dozen of very active ftnnaroles, or smoke vents, indicating that beneath the apparently placid and harmless floor of the crater been had steamed the fires that thought long since quenched forever. Everything was anticlimax, after that, despite the wonders of the "Valley of the Thousand Smokes," visited before by Father Hubbard, and the monotonously glorious ice-field that was the crater of Veniaminoff. The valley as seen from surrounding elevations, presented a picture of miles of steam issuing from hundreds of vents in the ground, and over which the explorers heated their coffee, rice, and other food Slush scooped that needed cooking. from glacial snows and placed in a pan and melted over these "stoves of nature." afforded them their water.

Catholt Action, so much urged in its fulfilment by His Holiness Pope Pius XI., is merely a new name, for old work; but work which has, except under a few forms, fallen into disuse. Catholic Action, in fact, means: "The lay Apostolate—work done in the world by laymen and women to enforce Catholic principles in a Catholic manner; help in works of charity; to instruct the ignorant; bring back erring sheep to the one true Fold; in a word, to help the over-worked priests in any way possible. Now, one of the greatest obstacles to the smooth, united working if this lay Apostolate is— forgive the obnoxious word—snobbery, fatal to the combining of charitable and cultural objects. If this obnoxious spirit, not unknown in our midst, could be entirely obliterated, how much united good work might be done. Also, we are too much inclined to leave social activities to non-CaIs the reason modesty, lazitholics. Anyway, it is up ness, or snobbery? to us all, in these troublous times especially, to unite in strong Catholic Action, in answer to the call of His Holiness. There are two ways in which we can especially go in for this lay Apostolate, that is by joining either the "S.V.P.S." or the "Third Order of St. Francis." A great authority has said: "The Third Order and Catholic Action go hand in hand." And do not let us forget that Pius XI. is a fervent Tertiary himself, and that this very year he will celebrate the Jubilee of his profession in that While Ozanam, the founder Order. of the "S.V.P.S.," also a Tertiary, and the greatest authority on Franciscan literature, did so much to establish Cathclic Action in a world which had grown cold and careless.

Preaching on December 14, after laying the foundation stone of a church at Cradock, Rt. Rev. Bishop MacSherry said that the tide of Catholic activities runs very high over the missionary world during the Pontificate of "the Pope of the Missions," as Pius XI. is affectionately called. As an instance, he mentioned that in his Vamriate at the extremity of the Dark Continent, he had during the past three years the consolation of blessing the foundation stones of no less than four spacious churches, two of which have already been completed.

CATHE-

The Mayor of Tours has issued an order forbidding heavy traffic in the neighbourhood of the Cathedral. The s tability of the Cathedral gives no cause for alarm, but this step has been taken at the instance of M. Bray, the architect in charge of the historic monuments of the Department of Indre et Loire, iii order to prevent any possibility of damage being done to the north tower. Of which the foundations have shown signs of sinking. The north tower stands upon a GalloRoman substructure, and appears to be less solidly built than the rest of the Cathedral. A few years ago a fissure appeared at the level of the second storey of the tower, and temporary measures were immediately taken to prevent it from spreading. A plan for the general reinforcement of the tower with concrete and chains has now being drawn up. and will soon be put into effect. M. Bray considers that every possible cause of vibration in the immediate vicinity of the tower should be removed in order to facilitate the work. DEATH or TYROLESE SCHOLAR.

P. Drennan, of Marengo. Mr. Austin was born in Redding, Vermont.

He later attended Rochester University, Rochester, New York, and New Brunswick Seminary, New Brunswick, New Jersey, where he was ordained June, During the war, Mr. Austin 1909. served as an enlisted man in the Ninth United States Infantry until after Chateau Thierry, when he became a First Lieutenant and acted as Reconaissance Officer. On his return to the United States, he spent three years in the hospital before coming to Marengo. At Marengo he taught for three years in the high school before being called to the pastorate of the Presbyterian Church there. In May he resigned his pastorate, and now has been received into the Catholic Church by Father Drennan. An Anglican clergyman, the Rev. Clement Wilfred Porter, and his wife, Mrs. Doreen Porter, have been received into the Church by Father Woodlock. at Farmstreet, London. Mr. Porter was educated at St. Paul's School and Jesus College. Oxford. He served in the World War and afterwards became assistant curate at Llandudno. Later he served in three London parishes. A CHRISTMAS BRUSH-UP. The offer of Timberland (U.S.A.) barbers to give free haircuts as Christmas gifts to the poor met with a great response. nearly 500 persons appearing at the City Hall for tonsorial treatment, two days before the great feast day. Sixty barbers worked in relays. One firm gave free towels service, while others gave the use of their automobiles to take people from outlying sections to the City Hall. A lone barber travelled 14 miles to serve a family of nine. Fifty adults in need of shaves were in the City Hall throng. The others, boys and girls, had haircuts and received bags of candy.

"Catholicity and the Modern Mind" Lecturing in Glasgow, on the above subject, Father Knox, M.A., of Oxford, said: "The mind of to-day was no more modern than the mind of yesterday or the day before. It was passing through a series of movements, but the Church in this kaleidoscope of changing fashion remained the same. Its philosophy was a more direct challenge to the thought of to-day than at any other time." Father Knox opened his address with a parable contrasting the little girl Alice, in the story "Alice in Wonderland," to the world's failure in the past four centuries, in that she found at one time she was too small to reach the key on the table which would open the door to the garden of all that was truly beautiful, and then when she was tall enough to reach the key, she found she was too big for the door. The little girl was like the mind that had prevailed for so long and yet had failed to penetrate the secret of the Catholic Church—the beautiful garden that lay beyond the door and of which it gets occasional glimpses through the keyhole as did the little girl in the story. The door was always the same. it was Alice who changed. So it was that the world was always too modern for Her, either too small or too "big." The world's antagonism was in a state of transition. Yesterday's mind was passing into the mind of to-morrow.

The modern mind desired the Catholic Church in a way. It was beginning to see there was something to be said for the Catholic atmosphere and f or Catholic order, which would answer its needs. The Cathoic Church was more and more attracting attention, and the attention which she attracted was more respectful than before. The reason behind the fact was obvious. All their institutions were in danger of collapsing after a century or more of criticism. More authority or sanction behind them was necessary if people were to live at all. The age was patiently an age of tolerance. The outlook adopted by the modern-minded Briton to-day was one of toleration, and one found a decided tendency not to persuade a man to abandon his religion in favour of another. The modernist asked: "Why not be content to admire the life of Christ and leave it at that?" Religion today had Leconte a question of sentiment and too little a matter of definite conviction. The modern world. said Father Knox, needed the Catholic Church back again. because it needed to restore some notion of authority. lust say— saw your ad. in 'The Fteeccd.' A RTISTS'

1932

The advance programme of the 31st. International Eucharistic Congress, to be held in Dublin on June 22-26, 1932, has reached us. Under this beading 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 SOU in 432.) 41-4010-4141 DUBLIN CITY. Set between the hills and the sea, Dublin stands on a site eminently A range of hills lie behind, urban. and beyond them great mountains reach up to the soft-tinted Irish sky, sheltering the wide central plains of Ireland from the sting of the sea-borne winds. Like all great cities, Dublin is built upon a river which flows through the centre of traffic. It is not a great river like the Mississippi or the Volga, but rather a genteel urban river which seems to exist for no other purpose than to grace an ancient and glamorous city and, as a sort of afterthought, to provide reaches for oarsmen and pools for anglers. The River Liffey broadens out below the city centre to form the harbour of Dublin at the apex of Dublin Bay, one of the most famous stretches of water The Bay is bounded in the world. on the north side by the great rock of Howth, famous in song and saga. The beautiful harbour of Dun Laog• haire marks the southern extremity preserved in the ancient Church of St. Michan, which dates from Danish times. The native Parliament, native but not national, was abolished in 1800, and its powers transferred to London. With it went the Anglo-Irish aristocracy.

The magnificent pile of the General Post Office, burned in those days. has now been restored in all its pristine glory. The same is true of the Custom House, reckoned a masterpiece of its kind, which was burnt during the war that preceded the Treaty of 1922. Dublin has changed but in form, and that slowly, during many centuries. It still retains the glamor of age and civic dignity. The spirit of poets and statesmen, soldiers and playwrights, still clings around its mellow streets and tall old houses. Within easy reach of the city centre are many remnants of past ages, reminders of saints and soldiers, of the culture of ages long past, of WATS whose turmoil has long ceased to echo between the mountains and the sea. WHAT IS AN INTERNATIONAL EUCHARISTIC CONGRESS? The material side of a Congress is We have been aceasily visualised. customed to hear of Congresses of various kinds. The thought that the word generally brings to our minds is that of a gathering of politicians or learned men, but we know that an orderly assembly makes a Congress. whatever its purpose he. It may be a number of statesmen convened at Vienna or Paris or the Hague to decide the terms of peace after war, and the conditions of the relations of nation with nation; or it may be a representative body of scientists assembled to help in the progress of human knowledge, or any other gathering of men with common Interests to advance. Not only PanPacific or Pan-American conventions of divers sorts, but also International Congresses have become quite familiar We have read again and again to us of chosen representatives of all the civilised nations of the world meeting to consider political, social, commercial or scientific matters. There is no educated man, therefore, who on hearing the term International Congress does not at once conceive a convention of men from all nations, peoples and tongues met in some particular place, for some particular object or end. History of Eucharistic Congresses. It is precisely the nature of this object or end that determines the essenWe tial character of the Congress. have mentioned political, social, scienThese all belong to tific gatherings. the natural order of civilisation, to the But we temporal and civil sphere. have a higher kind of Congress than any of 'these. The perfect world-wide society that Christ Our Lord established on earth has interests and activities more excellent than anv that are discussed or directed in parliament or academy. Being a spiritual and social

institution, she has her assemblies of rulers and teachers and worshippers intent on one or many of the objects that fall within the scope of her mission. Catholic religious Congresses deal with the great matters that concern man's eternal welfare. They are as manifold as the interests which the Church embraces. They may be convened under the aegis of her authority to elucidate one or other of the great Christian truths, or they may aim at promoting moral and spiritual discipline amongst the members of Christ's mystic Body, or they may centre round those holy and sanctifying institutions which her Divine Founder has placed in the A Nahands of His beloved Spouse. tional Congress has one or other, perhaps a combination, of such objects as the purpose of its existence. The adjective that qualifies Congress will generally tell us what the object is. In the present case there is question of a Eucharistic Congress, so we know at once that the great world-representative gathering of princes, priests, and faithful knows as an International Eucharistic Congress centres and focuses its activities on that divinest of divine institutions. the Holy Eucharist of the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. Here we have the idea of our Oecumenical Convention. Why Are They Held? What has brought those men from every nation under heaven to this parIt is the Blessed Euticular place? charist that has gathered them together in the unity of one common purpose. As members of the Catholic Church they believe that in the Sacrament of the Altar, after the consecration of bread and wine, Jesus Christ, ttue God and true Man, is truly, really, and substantially present under the appearances of those sensible elements. They believe on the authority of the Gospel and of the infallible Church to which they belong, that our Saviour, in a supreme outpouring of His divine love, instituted this Sacrament to be a memorial of Ilk wonderful works and a perpetual reminder of His death till They He come to judge the world. know with the knowledge that comes of enlightened faith that this is the great spiritual food of which Jesus said: "He who eats Me the same also They see in the shall live by Me." little round Host the antidote that delivers them from the daily ravages of concupiscence , and preserves them Relying on the from deadly sin. plain words of the Divine Master, as interpreted by His own Spirit speaking in the Church, these enthusiastic people who are come from near and from afar firmly believe that they have here given them as a spiritual food the pledge of their glorified life hereafter, the svmbol of that one mystic Body whose Head the Christ of the Eucharist is, and to which they as Christians adhere with the cohesive forces of faith, hope and charity.

the Victim of their eternal salvation, the representation and memorial and perpetual application of the bloodstained offering of Calvary. They know that if they go from end to end of the world, if they go up into heaven itself, they will find nothing greater than the Eucharist, for the God of heaven and earth is there, dwelling corporeally in a virgin-born humanity wrapt around with the sacramental veils of bread and wine. This is sufficient to show why this great Sacrament of the Church's holiness, unity and Catholicity should bring men together in Congresses, What is Done at International Eucharistic Congresses. And what are they come to do? The answer to this question is as manysided as the Blessed Eucharist itself, They are come to know the Holy Sacrament more clearly in Its many aspects, value It more highly, love It more ardently, avail themselves of Its infinite treasures more solicitously; they are come to make It known to others, to make It valued and loved and used in order that men may have life and have it more abundantly; they are come to honour the royal Presence of Jesus and to make a solemn public protest to His Divine Majesty against the carelessness and wickedness and blasphemous impiety of those who care little for Him; who despise His law, who openly and satanically reject His Divine Principality. These are the comprehensive aims of a Eucharistic Congress. (To he Continued.)

Some Maltese Proverbs Malta. like Provence and other small patriotic countries, has preserved its own language. In Valetta, the capital, mil in the suburb of Floriana, you will hear Maltese. English. and Italian spoken in the streets. But in the intimacy cf home life Maltese is invariably used. Indeed, in the casals or villages it is the only language spoken The Maltese language is reputed to be the oldest living language in Europe. It has variously been said to be derived from the Phoenician, Arabic, and Hebrew. The Persian language contains many words which are similar to the Maltese tongue. Like the Langue d'Oc. which was restored by the Catholic poet, Mistral, whose centenary occurs this year, the Maltese language presents many attractive problems to philologists. Weather Lore. Malta is a land of proverbs and folklore. In the country districts the peasants working on the land are full of wise saws concerning the weather and the time for sowing crops and harvesting. A learned Maltese professor. Dr. A. Cremona, has collected many of these sayings. "The period of twelve days." he writes, "preceding Christmas Eye, that is from the 13th. up to the 24th De• cember, is taken by farmers as corresponding to the condition of the weather during the forthcoming year. The weather condition of each day is supposed to forecast approximately the condition of each corresponding month in chonologieal order." The Maltese countryman, in fact. puts very little faith in the meteorologist, preferring to be guided by his own observations and experience. It is interesting to note that some Maltese proverbs are the direct opposite to English ones. The Forecasts. "If it does not lighten or thunder on Christmas Day. winter is gone. if it lightens and thunders winter will have another run of forty days," the MalThe English proverb, howtese say. ever, runs: "If Christmas Day be fair and bright, winter will have another flight: but if Christmas Day brings

clouds of rain, winter is gone, and won't come again." It is believed in Malta that, when pigeons are chirping or the peacock calling, a storm will soon follow. This agrees with the English. "When the peacock loudly calls, soon we'll have both rain and squalls." In March the weather in Malta is often very cold, hence the saying: "Marzu, Marcella in Nanna hatquet il-moxt u rixteliu; which is, in English, "In March, grandmother, or the old spinster, has burnt even the weaver's stay, and her flax comb to keep warm." On the Feast of the Conversion of St. Paul, a day which is observed with great solemnity, the weather is said to change seven times, and it is al. ways marked by the sun being veiled by scuds of tiny, showery clouds. Whet Words. Many proverbs are. of course, common to all countries, but the following are not, I think, well-known in England: "Jewiftah biebec u ftahau, Jev ghalka u insatar." Either open your door to do yourself rse holfnour, or close it and conceal "Tini xartija u itfaghni Give h sea luck and throw me into the etheast blows in the dust fills his ey owHe Those who have been bitten by serpents are afraid of coiled ropes Death keeps no calendar. He who stays in the valley will never get over the hilt Cliem ix -alb zomrn, &h." Ponder will old people's words —John Mifstid, in the "Cathotir Times."

What of the South American Indians? surely on three continents of the globe besides his own, the European has conquered. He has not only taken possession of the land, but has displaced the aborigines. In North America some 300,000 Indians form the last remnant of the race, and who ever hears of them as wielding influence? In Australia, some 60,000 natives remain in distant retreats, and if they are not a dying people at least they are but precariously holding their own. For the third Continent, South America, we must make a reservation. The Indian was not destroyed, but Spanish and Portuguese civilisation certain. ly prevailed in his transformation. Today in the large cities are to be found lawyers, doctors, statesmen, priests, bishops, with the suggestion of the aborigine on their faces, but no one would dream of calling them Indian.. They have become fused with the newcomers of the past four centuries, first the "conquisitadores.- of Spain and Portugal, and recently immigrants of almost Added to every nation of Europe. these have been many negroes brought first as slaves. In Peru Chinese immigrants have so fused with the native that a new type is seen emerging. In British Gujana thousands ot Hindus have come from India, while in Brazil there is some 100,000 Japanese. But besides this bulk of population t o all intents non-Indian, there remains a body of some 9,0(10,000 which remain clearly of the soil. This body divides itself into two, the first, totalling something less than a million, classing almost literally as "untamed savage." and the remainder, well over eight million, representing those who, although they have not fused, have learned some lessons from the white and have accepted his missionaries. The uncivilied Indians are nomads, and dwell in the virgin forests and mountains, fleeing always before the Government advance of the white. treaties and maps mark carefully the boundary lines of states, but these men of the wilds often do not know and never care in what republic they dwell. For instance, in the depths of the Continent, where Venezuela, Colombia, and Brazil meet the tribesmen, are to all practical purposes sole masters of their destiny and live quite oblivious of modern governments. Of the other class, one finds groups in every republic of the Continent, except Uruguay. The most important representations are in Peru (2,000.000), Bolivia (1,500,000). Brazil (1,500,000, found particularly in the Matto Grosso and on the Amazon), Ecuator (1,200,0001. Venezuela (500,000). Colombia Chili (50060), ( 150,000).

Marshal Joffre Knew How to Die Marshal Iotfre, the hero of the Marne —unquestionably one of the decisive battles of the world—passed peacefully away in the nursing home of the Monastery of the Brothers of St. John For two days the of God in Paris. illustrious soldier, who was nearing his 80th. year, had a rosary beads clasped in his hands, and all the circumstances of his passing show that he had returned to God and the faith of his childhood. Rev. Pere Bellesoeur, Eradist, at the request of Mme. Joffre, when the Marshal entered the clinic of the Monastery, visited the sick man, and was cordially received by him who had always maintained good relations Pere with his Cure at Louneciennes. Bellesoeur passed all the time he could with the Marshal, who, with sentiments of lively faith, received the Last Sacraments. Pere Bellesoeur had brought his own crucifix, and the Marshal kissed it fervently, while murmuring pious ejaculations. Absolution was given to the dying man, and the prayers for the dying said. Cardinal Verdier, Archbishop of Paris, said that the Marshal had been great in death. Certainly the same serene courage and stubborn vitality, which once made all the world his debtor, moved it, during the last week of his life, to wonder, fruitless hope, and deep regret. His countrymen have parted with one of the legendary figures of the war, and their hail and farewell will be spoken from the heart in many countries, not least of all in Ireland, to the gallantry of whose soldiers he never,, lost an opportunity of paying the highest tribute. A fter the funeral service at Notre Dame there was a national funeral to the [nyefides, in the crypt of which the remains were temporarily laid. Re. quiescat in pace! "La Croix" says that the intimate friends of Marshal ,Toffre were not surprised to hear that he had received the 'rites of Holy Church when absolutely conscious, and at his own request. It is told in the review, "Aux Ecoutes," that his conversion dates from the day that he assisted at the civil obsequies of General Pelle, his former Major-General. Cardinal Dubois, Archbishop of Paris, had, it will be remembered, refused a religious funeral to General Pelle. because he had married a young woman who was divorced. Joffre was much impressed by the Cardinal's decision, and his conscience began to trouble him. In addition, the recollection of the faith of which Foch had given an example made a great impression on him on the day he assisted at It was then his funeral obsequies. that he decided to have his union with Madame .joffre blessed. It is to a great degree owing to the influence of his Christian wife that the Marshal returned to his religious duties. So it is not surprising that he summoned the chaplain of the Brothers of Saint John of God to his bedside. Joffre, who was a strong Freemason until 1914. showed during the war a perfect tolerance for all beliefs, but he remained a determined free-thinker. The war, however, opened his eyes, and he began to display an indifference towards the Lodges of which he had been such an assiduous member. Joffre always maintained an affectionate regard for priests whom he had met during his career. One of these clergymen, a special friend. was a Jesuit, Mgr. de Saune. and was Vicar Apostolic of Tananarive. He was a companion of the late Marshal in the Polytechnic School. Another friend, a priest. was Pere Lecornu, a mission. er in the Extreme East. He had been, as Captain Lecornu. a military companion in the war at Tonkin. In 1922. when --Marshal ,foffre was in the Extreme East receiving acclamations of triumph for the victory of the Marne, he remembered his old companion of thirty years previously and went to visit him. Pere Lecornu was then dying of cancer, so the interview was touching. The priest died two days later. During the war a rumour was circulated that Joffre was a Protestant, consequently Canon Respaut, Cure of Riversaltes, published a statement in the "Gazette de France" that Marshal _Toffre had been baptised a Catholic in the parish church. at Riversaltes. on January 23, 1852. and was a Catholic from birth, belonging to a sinHis mother cerely Catholic family. was a Tertiary of St. Francis,

H.A.C.B. Society DISTRICT BOARD. The fortnightly meeting was held on the 3rd. inst., the District President, Bro. E. A. Clarke, presiding over a complete Board, comprising Bros. E. H. Manton, P.V.P., J. W. O'Brien, P.D.P., J. Edwards, G.S., Sister Gilbertson, D.T., Bros. L. C. Rampant, DIV., S. J. O'Halloran, D.G., T. J. Hynes, DM., G. F. Creighton, D.M., J. W. Whitely, DM., and W. A. Brown, R.D.T. The District President extended a very cordial welcome to Bro. Whitely, who had been unable to attend the meetings for about six months on account of an injured ley, caused by a motor accident. He also expressed the pleasure of the Board at the presence of Bro. Rampant after a somewhat severe injury caused by a motor accident. A letter was received from the Rev. Father William Gimerez, of Goomalling, asking for certain information relative to the society. The General Secretary reported that the Rev. Father O'Brien, of Nedlands, had given his permission to the establishment of a branch in his parish, and that arrangements had been made for a meeting of parishioners on Monday night, the 16th. inst., at the church. Already Bro. Jack McGerr and Mr. Tom Outridge have been doing the preliminary organising, and prospects are that a very good branch will be the result. On Sunday next, after Mass at Nedlands. the District officers will be available in regalia to furnish to parishioners any information that they may desire in connection with the society. The hope is expressed that the parishioners will not be diffident about coming to the meeting, even if they have not actually made up their minds to join. Their presence will assist in establishing in their parish on a firm basis a Catholic benefit society. Even the more elderly residents can give valuable assistance by joining as honorary members. Sister Gilbertson gave an interesting report of her visit to Geraldton, and spoke in appreciative terms of the enthusiasm displayed by the executive of St. Francis Xavier's Branch, and a big proportion of the members. They were working under difficulties in some respects, but she felt sure that they would surmount them and that the branch would gradually improve in strength. Although she did not have an opportunity of visiting Nabau a, some of the members had called on her, and it was evident that they were most earnest and sincere in their determination to do the best they possibly can for the society. St. Patrick's Old Boys' Branch. The President, Bro. Gerald Barrett, presided over the meeting held on the 4th. inst., there being a good attendance of members. The question of representation on the Friendly Societies' Association was dealt with, and the President was appointed as the branch's delegate. Arrangements were finalised for two teams to compete in the Relay Race at the general picnic, and it was hoped to secure the cup for the branch. 13m. Smith reported on the position of the cricket team, and evoked applause by declaring that it was almost certain to win a pennant this year. After the close of the meeting, the members entertained themselves in carrying out the syllabus item. "Sing, Recite, or pay 3d." The s yllabus item for the next meeting is "'Games."

St. Patrick's Senior Branch. The 5th„ being quarter- night, was used as a very good reason by members generally to visit the meeting room, and incidentally the secretary also, in his official capacity. The pleased look on his face augurs well for a heavy depletion of the receipt book stock in the central office. Bro. Anthony Barrett, as President, advised members not to neglect the opportunity of spending a very happy day on the water and at Point Walter at the H.A.C.B.S. Picnic, held on Sunday, February 8. Bro. C. W. O'Dwyer, P.P., was appointed delegate to St. Patrick's Day Committee. The sub-committee have the syllabus well in hand, and members are requested to make a point of hearing the report next meeting and considering its merits. As the meeting closed, strenuous efforts were being made to obtain a strong team for the relay race, and the various events at the annual sports. Members are asked to stick wholeheartedly to their daily rehersals of the President Charge for the branch competition. , Social and Sports Committee. Record attendances of delegates have been held at recent meetings. On January 30, after much business in connection with the picnic had been transacted, Bro. Hynes was called on to present Sister Rita Prindiville with a cushion, as a token of affection from members of the committee. Sr. Prindiville, whose marriage was celebrated on February 2, has been untiring in her efforts as delegate from Queen's Park branch, and her long association with us makes her loss all the more keen. St. Dominic's Branch, Nabawa. The usual monthly meeting of the al -ve branch was held in St. Brigid's ' erch, Nabawa, on January 2nd. Bro S. McDonnell presided over a small attendance of members. Much discussion took place over the unfinancial members, and all present were asked to do the best they could to urge members to pay their contributions, or make application for payment of contributions. Several members expressed their opinions with regard to the benefits of the society and all were asked to try and bring along some new members, so as to increase the membership in our branch. Doctor's certificate for Bro. P. A. McDonnell was received. The quarterly Communion was held on Christmas morning at o'clock Mass, and was largely attended, almost every member approaching the altar rails in regalia. The met• ing then closed.

PROPOSED NEW ALPINE RAIL WAY.

Out of the Metal-Pot The defeat of the firebrand and bigot, Thomas J. Heflin, for re-election as United States Senator from Alabama, is believed by Senator-elect John H. Bankhead, who beat him in the Alabama contest, to indicate that the Ku. Klux Klan is a dead issue in the United States since Senator Heflin "was the outstanding Klan figure in the "Every possible inpolitical arena." fluence," Senator Bankhead said, "was used by the organisation in his behalf. Yid;lin is now a dead issue in Alabama politics." Mr. Bankhead declared. And the Klan is as dead in the United States as a dishonoured corpse well can be.

In circulation at the present time is what purposts to be the oath of fidelity of the A.J.S.A.. some secret institution which has been organised "somewhere in Australia," ostensibly to protect the British Empire from falling a prey to the Jesuits. We don't know who the lunatic or lunatics, or halfwits are who are at the back of this very ambitious organisation. Like the Black Hand and the Ku-Klux Klan, and the domestic cockroach, they do their work in secret. Flit-and-run sort of fellows, they don't care what harm they do. provided their pet hobbies are advantaged—under an impartial analysis such folk are usually too small to measure up to the commonplace— they are like weeds in the kitchen garden. and if not eradicated they are sure to work havoc and destruction. Certain names are associated with this and anti-Jesuit society, so-called amongst them is a law-and-order exponent, who has a very pronounced affection for William Prince of Orange. and is a busy-bee among the brethren.

When a former owner of the house was approached for permission to have a tablet placed on the house, he objected. saying he did not want any "graveThe present stones" on the house. owners have no objection against the desire of the poet's friends.

He made all men his debtors, leaving to those who loved him the memory of his personality, and to English poetry an imperishable name." There's a small station called Mongu, in the depths of Rhodesia. It has no particular influence in the commercial life of that part of the Empire, but Mongu had a little community of Cttholics there recently, whose sterling faith calls a lesson to Catholics in more This small favoured circumstances. Rhodesian station is generally reached by boat from Livingstone, by the Zambesi River, taking three weeks upstream and ten days downstream. Difficulties and delays are experienced on the journey owing to the several rapids The only Christians met en route. that are seen there are usually some officials that happen to be stationed there, and then only temporarily. An impressive act of faith occurred at this little isolated station recently, when seven white men and twenty native Catholic policemen collected about £50 and chartered an aeroplone to bring a priest from Livingstone in order that they might have Mass and the SacraThe journey that otherwise ments. would have taken three weeks was The made in less than four hours. faith of this little handful of Catholics is further revealed by the fact that one of them has constructed a private chapel in his home, where the little Isolacommunity meet for prayers. tion and loneliness brings the soul in closer touch with God. In great cities and busy places, the lure of commerce and pleasure captures the thought of men and women, and only by the few, and the poor, the Great Creator of All is remembered. The beaches on Sundays are the cathedrals of thousands who never give a thought to Divine worship. The little, isolated, unknown body of Catholics in Mongu are an example of heroic fidelity to their Faith, which should cause lazy Mass-missers to blush with infinite shame.—Plus 4.

Holy Family Confraternity The interesting news that a branch of the Holy Family Confraternit3- is to be established at the Monastery Church, was announced there last Sunday. In other countries the Holy Family takes a leading place amongst religious sodalThe famous Limerick Confraities. ternity leads the world in numbers and regular attendance. It has over eight thousand men on its rolls. The Clonard Confraternity. in Belfast. is a good second with over five thousand men. The branches of this Confraternity t hroughout Australasia are few and far between. But where they exist, they seem to grip our Catholic men more firmly than any other sodality. This may lie accounted for by the fact that their meetings are held every week, and the rules demand thorough organisation. One of the most flourishing branches in Australasia is that of St. Gerard's. Wellington, which was established al most twenty-five years ago, by His Grace Archbishop Clune, when he was Rector of the Monastery there. Some of the most regular attendants at the weekly meetings in St. Gerard's come from the parish of Lower Hutt, over six miles away. All receive Holy Communion once a month in their own parish, and in this way membership in the Confraternity stimulates regular Commonthly attendance at the munions of the Sacred Heart or other sodalities. The Monastery is so centrally situ. aterl. that only a good will and a little effort are needed to have established there the largest Holy Family Confra ternity in Australasia. By way of preparation for its establishment, a Retreat for men will be opened in the Monastery Church on Sunday night. February 22. to close on the following Sunday night

Both boys and girls wore a special badge—a medal attached to a white ribbon, so as to distinguish them from the town children, who, as it was the first Sunday of the month, approached the Holy Table in a body, too. The Children of Mary and Holy Angels' Sodality wore their own regalia. Before they received, Father Gilroy addressed the First Communicants, telling them of the great privilege which was theirs that day, receiving the great God of Heaven into their souls for the first time. He then asked them to renew in their own persons the promises made for them by their sponsers in Holy Baptism, which they did. After Mass, at which hymns suitable for the occasion were sung by the sodalities, and in which most of the 13ushies also joined, they were all invited to join the First Communicants at a grand breakfast, prepared for them at the Convent, at which 56 of t hem were present and thoroughly enjoyed the pood things provided. They then attended 10 o'clock Mass, and at 3 in the afternoon came to church to recite the Rosary and sing a hymn, as some were leaving by the evening's train and would not he able t o attend devotions. Another contingent left next morning, after hearing Holy Mass, yet another lot that evening, the last. on Tuesday morning. many expressing the wish that they could stay a week or two longer.

Hibernian Annual Picnic February 8 was meant to be a picnic day. so bright and sunny it dawned. Many others thought so too, for when the "Perth" left Barrack -street Jetty, at 11.5 am., there was a goodly compliment of Ilibernians and their friends on board. Naturally, a record attendance was not anticipated in these troublous times, and though many old faces were missing, we were delighted to have with us Bro. T. R. de Lucey, a foundation member of our society, who renewed acquaintance with Point Walter after an absence of 57 years. Then, too. our Past National President, Bro, M.

PERTH, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1931.

The Church and Youth "The Catholic Church wants now inure than ever the young men for her lay apostolate—she wants youth, dynamic youth, with its buoyancy and optimism youth that can do and think and dare greatly, youth that is elastic, responsive to new situations, 'and capable of adjusting itself to meet new dangers. The Catholic Church is in grips with new paganism; every day she is confronted with new problems, and she has need of youth with the clear vision and the generous sympathies. . . Youth that, in the game of life, makes straight for the goal and counts not the cost." This appeal was made to the Brothers of St. Vincent de Paul Society in the City of Belfast, by Most Rev. Dr. Mageean, Bishop of Down and Connor, only recently. It may be directed to the alumni of our Catholic secondary schools, who are starting now on a new year of study. The Church looks to her youth to carry on the warfare for God when the old soldiers in the apostolate have lowered their arms by weight of years, and have handed their standards on to younger hands. And where are the recruits to come from? To the youth of our Catholic schools the Church looks with yearning eyes, for only there she knows can be had in a special degree that knowledge competent to equip them to fulfil those nobler purposes of life which are at the back of real progress—a brave, law-respecting, generous and moral citizenship. Religion is at the base of a truly progressive national existence. It comes into every phase of public action where public life recognises the values of religion as a directing agent in shaping the trend of social life—a social system based upon Christian principles and moral standards. World conditions to-day are so distressing that thinking men realise that beneath the crust of internationalism there is a nervous malady in progress that needs the attention of the physician. Over a long line of years, and through a series of circumstances fraught at times with menace to human liberty, the fever of rationalism has been burning in the blood ot nations. and thrones and dynasties have fallen beneath its delirium. In the uprise of a dissatisfied society, for more liberty, altars and shrines have been swept away, and license masqueraded with impious lawlessness. Every such episodic outbreak has. been marked by a suppression of justice. human rights, and religious sanctions. Only with the restoration of these sanctions have disturbed society been brought back to sanity. Clean Business, finance, home government, law, civic virtue, all depend for their standards upon religion. "Loss of faith, denial of God, the split-up of Christianity, uncertainty about the future, politics for their own sake, and growing disregard of the moral law are intimately connected with unemployment and civil oppression," says a contemporary. The evil that follows irreligion is admitted. But. unfortunately, judges differ. The voice of the Catholic Church sounds above the dissonance of political strife and the jargon of rationalistic controversies pointing the way to peaceful nationalism. She stands in the gap of danger, and her counsels have a wide circuit, thirty and more millions hear t•e voice of His Holiness, the Sovereign of Vatican City, and its influence has a wonderful awakening effect. Never at any time since the upset of the 16th. century has the voice of the Church been so well respected—because she stands in the place of truth and justice for prince and pauper alike. She owns no nationality—all mankind are her children, even as all mankind came with the redeeming love of her Divine Founder. • • • • Though the State will not admit the fact, it is nevertheless greatly indebted to the Catholic school, because its system of education is a complete system that keeps in view the exaltation of the public and private life of the citizen and his preparation for the life eternal. Let the cynic sneer at this assertion, if he will, it remains all the same a verity. Religious citizens and moral citizens are what leaders in public life should demand, for beneath the cover of national life, if it must have permanence. rest religion and morality. These are the two preservatives. Secularism means irreligion. license, corruption, and social decay.

Rev. Either Frank Ryan, who was recently ordained at Propaganda College, Rome, is due back in the Archdiocese in August. Father Fanning, recently ordained at the Irish College, Rome, will arrive about the same time. Rev. Father Goody, who was ordained at Propaganda College, Rome, will spend two years in Zagreb, in YugoSix\ la. to learn the language.

From the Vatican City State Prince Marcantonio C,olonna, Prince Assistant at the Papal Throne, and a very large representata.tion of the Roman nobility, were received by the Holy Father in special audience for the presentation of the New Year's greetings. Prince Colonna, in the name of all present, read a short address to the Pope, expressing the filial wishes of the Roman Patricians, and promising to prove their devotion to the Holy Father by aiding him with their prayers. The Pope, in reply, spoke of the pleasure it was to see so many of such illustrious families—real dynasties of Faith—gathered about him, and thanked them for their prayers. Cardinal Pacelli has sent a letter in the name of His Holiness the Pope, to the Bishop of Padua, praising the activities of the religious and civil committees formed for arranging the celebrations to be held this year in honour of the Seventh Centenary of the death of St. Anthony of Padua. Cardinal Cerretti, the recently appointed Protector of the Caked Car. melites of the Ancient Observance, took his formal possession at the International College of St. Albert in Rome recently. The Cardinal was received by Father Magennis, Prior General of the Order and the members of his Curia. The ceremony took place in the beautiful new chapel attached to The Procurator General the College. read an address to the Cardinal who, in reply, spoke of the glorious traditions of Carmel and the devotion to the scapular. After the religious (eremonv, the Prior General entertained the Cardinal to lunch. Some days later Father Magennis left Rome for Brazil to make the visitation of the houses of his Order in South America. The first number of a newspaper. “L'Illustrazione Vaticana," published in the Vatican City under the direction of Mgr. Mercati, Prefect of the Vatican Archives, Comm. Nagara, Director of the Vatican Museums and Galleries, and Count de la Torre, Editor of the "Osservatore Romano," made its appearance on Christmas Day. The paper will appear once a fortnight: it will feature news of Catholic events all over the world, with special attention to developments in Missionary countries, publish reviews of books by eminent critics, and contain regular contributions of liturgical, historical, archaelogical and artistic' interest. As one might expect, ceremonies and functions occurring in the Vatican City will be specially catered for. Of Catholic news in Italy and abroad, Catholic Action items will be fully reported. The results of Vatican archives tesearch will form an attractive featurr for the learned.

News and Notes We deeply regret to announce the death of Mrs. Jerry Ryan. which occurred in Dublin recently. The deceased lady went to Rome for the ordination of her son, Father Frank R yan, and was on a visit to her sister in Ireland when the sad event took place. Her many friends in Perth and Geraldton, where she was well known and respected, will regret her demise. To Mr. Jerry Ryan and family "The Record" extends its sincere sympathy in their bereavement. • * Mr. William Francis Murphy, of the Cathedral parish, died at his residence, 58 Bronte-stret East Perth, on Monday last, after a prolonged illness. He was a faithful member of the Sacred Heart Sodality, and a devout Catholic. He • had the consolations of Holy Church, and was well prepared to answer the inevitable call that must come to every

one. Requiem Mass was celebrated on Tuesday morning, at St. Mary's Cathedral, for the repose of his soul. A widow, one daughter, and two sons survive him. Frank, who is a well known and active member of St. Vincent de Paul Society, is a son of the deceased R.I.P. Before s going to Rome, December last. Sir Thomas H. Grattan-Esmonde and Lady Esmonde visited the Bar Library in the Royal Courts of Justice, and handed over to the authorities of that institution the fine painting, by Sit Godfrey Kneller, of Sir Edward Herbert, Chief Justice of the Common Pleas in 1687, which they have presented to it. The portrait was discovered by Lady Esmonde in the storeroom of a Dublin art dealer, and it has been most successfully restored. Suitably framed in old gold, the portrait shows the art of Kneller at its best. It is a sumptuous and stately portrait of the Judge in the picturesque style of the period, wearing his robes, plumpfaced, fresh complexioned, and dignified, sitting in an armchair, a manuscript in one hand. The portrait is hung to the best advantage on the grand staircase of the Bar Library. The picture is the first painting of any Judge in early English legal history to be hung in the Royal Courts of Justice. Lady Esmonde, by the way, haying illustrated the memoirs of the Esmonde family and those of the Emmet family, is now engaged in writing the memoirs of the founder of her family—Sir William Creswell Levins, who was four times Mayor of Oxford, and whose tomb is in Christ's Church of that An ancestor of hers went to city.

During the evening Father Sheridan, on behalf of the choir and congregation of the Catholic Church, expressed great regret that the Church was losing such a popular member and willing worker.

In 1281 he was elected to the Reichstag. The combat between Windthorst and Bismarck for the rights of the Church, oppressed by the laws of the Kulturkampf, was then at its height, and Porsch very soon became the confidesFelix tial assistant of Windthorst. Porsch was a member of the Prussian Diet for forty-five years, from 1884 to 1929, and was, later on, Vice-President. It is said that there was not a single great Catholic organisation which had not recourse to his vast knowledge and He could both write devotedness. and speak well.

A big void has been made in the front ranks of the Archdiocesan clergy by the death in Dublin on Saturday, the 24th. ult., of Right Rev. Monsignor J. O'Gorman, parish priest of Parramatta. A dangerous malady, not conducive to surgical treatment, and wnfch forced him to take a six months' rest in hospital during the Sydney Eucharistic Congress year, brought about this sudden but not unexpected end. A cabled message only a month or so back made it clear that Monsignor O'Gorman was then 'near to death's door: but fears were allayed when certain improvements id his condition brought more hopeful reports. Now, without warning of a relapse, comes the tragic announcement of death: and so another strong link in the chain of our ecclesiastical leadership has snapped, and historic Parramatta has lost it third successive Monsignor, the two preceding pastors being Mon. signor Rigney and Monsignor O'Reilly. Those who recollect the memorable departure of his Grace the Archbishop in March Last for Rome. Carthage, and Ireland, will also recall the seemingly s trong figure of Monsignor O'Gorman by his side. Together with Rev. Father P. J. Murphy, he went overseas with his Grace, in the best of spirits, and, no doubt, hoping that the change would stall off for many Years an illness that was troubling him under the exacting conditions of brisk parochial life. He attended the Eucharistic Congress at Carthage. and. in the capacity of his position as a full member of the Permanent Committee of all .International Eucharistic Congresses, took part in a meeting of that body in Paris. Later he went to Ireland. Despite his precarious state of health and the various other matters connected with his travels, he yet constrained himself to bring pen to paper in a short series of articles, chiefly concerning the Carthage Congress. for the "Catholic Press," of which he had been a director since 1907. His Rapid Rise. Monsignor O'Gorman was a native o f Scariff, Co. Clare; he was born there in 1870; and he entered his clerical training at the famous All Hallows Seminary. Dublin, where he had a brilliant career and was ordained in 1896. On arrival in Australia, he spent the first few years of his work in MelLonnie, on loan; and when Sydney received him, it quickly became apparent that here was a priest specially gifted and qualified for a leading part Soon he bein ecclesiastical affairs. came linked with such men as the late A rchbishop XV. Barry. of Hobart, and others, who formed a fine combination o f workers under Cardinal Moran. He -s-as placed in charge )if Pyrmont and Ultimo for some years; and, following a brief term on the Cathedral staff. took a trip to the old country. When the new regime commenced at the death of the Cardinal. his Grace the Archbishop appointed Father .0torman Administrator of St. Mary's Cathedral. Then began his herculean work- - raising funds for the comple. non of the mother church. In a vigorous drive throughout his term of nice, from the beginning of 1912 to 1919, he triumphed in this special work beyond the expectations of all : and fully £100,006 for the fund is attributed ti his zealous prosecution of the cause. His big part therein culminated in 1919 with a final rally, a great Cathedral bazaar, which was a huge success from angles. When ecclesiastical changes rang once) more, and encompassed Father ( vG)irman. no minor position was conceivable for one of his ability. Thus it was that he was chosen in August, 1919.• to enter into the leadership of Parramatta, vacant through the death o f Monsignor O'Reilly.

It was a tribute to the priest, his capacity, and his zeal that he was appointed secretary to that memorable XXIXth. International Eucharistic Congress, held in Sydney in 1928. Despite a lengthy bout of illness during the year, he kept in close touch with every department of Congress activities, and fought back to his feet for the period of Eucharistic fervour. For the interest and effort he extended to this highly successful Congress, he was appointed next year to the Permanent Committee of All Eucharistic Congresses.

Again they proclaimed their pride in him, in February, 1923, when he was leaving for Ireland to visit his mother and relatives. Two well-known Sycl. ney priests, Rev. Fathers J. Considine and M. °telly, accompanied him. The Parramatta people gave him a royal send-off, and among their numerous gifts was a set of Rosaries for his mother.

Genial and Scholarly. Despite his strict principles and unbending views on important public questions, the Monsignor was a man whose very geniality, charity, and sincerity made for him friends in every direction and walk of life. He was a champion of the principles of religion in education, and strongly advocated the cause of Catholic benefit Among his other interests, societies. he was a director of the "Catholic Press." the Catholic Women's Hostel. the Catholic Women's Association, and the Parramatta District Hospital, and a member of the committee of the Parramatta Soldiers' Memorial.

Few priests have rendefed more signal service to the Archdioce,e, especially in connection with St. Mary's Cathedral, to which he was at-

His zeal and sincerity were transparent, and though he sometimes differed from others in regard to ways and means, and never minced his words in, saying so, his judgment was respected, He and his honesty never doubted. was a man who could not but prove a worthy citizen wherever his lines were cast. To Catholic and nonCatholic alike he was a Christian gentleman; and his manly virtues were always admired. No wonder the news of his death caused such grief in every home in Parramatta.

Father O'Kelly was equally eulogistic of the deceased: "He was a wonderful scholar," said Father O'Kelly. -and whenever in conversation we were aways proud of him,, for he was most ready and clear with all his explanations of Church and national affairs.

Week by week factories were closed down, and a very grave crisis might be at hand. When they turned their eyes across the Atlantic Ocean and looked at the two Americas, they could count six revolutions that had passed over South America in twelve months: and in the North the United States were faced with an unemployment problem as vast as that of England. In Europe they saw a state of unrest, of turmoil, and in places of economic prostration.

Despite poverty and economic troubles, there was one dangerous sign that had increased from month to month, and that was the terrible craze for pleasure and amuse-

They were tod that the dark evil was on the wane. Very few believed that it was. It had gone perhaps from the public streets, but it had only gone indoors elsewhere.

A characteristically spirited and eloquent address was delivered by the Very Rev. M. J. O'Reilly, CM., in Brisbane, on the 23rd. ult. The distinguished Rector of St. John's College, Sydney, is not given to mincing words, and his direct and logical utterances on the education issue, at the meeting over which his Grace the Archbishop of Brisbane, Most Rev. Dr. Duhig. presided, not only make excellent reading, but present an unanswerable case In the course of his address. Dr. O'Reilly said that in the whole British Empire there was nothing so disgraceful and discreditable in its origin as the anti-Catholic position throughout Australia in the matter of education: and when any man spoke about British fairplay he should be made to hold • his tongue until he made a public apology to the Catholic people for the injustice inflicted upon them and the insults offered ti them in the matter of education. 'The Thin End of the Wedge." In no other Dominion tinder the British Crown could such a thing happen as at the beginning of the anti-Catholic campaign in Victoria in the early 'seventies, when the Victorian Minister for Education erased from the books in use in the Victorian schools It was the antithe name of Christ Catholic and anti-Christian campaign that was the beginning of the movement against the Catholic schools And at the same time in Victoria as the name of Christ was erased from the school books, Mr. Wilberforce Stephen, Attorney-G-eneral of Victoria, speaking to his constituents at Prahran on June 25, 1872, boasted that an educational measure introduced by the Cabinet had for its object the persecution of a section of the people. He said: "The thin end of the wedge has been introduced into the Catholic body—fcheerst—and they must allow him to say that the end of the wedge was a very sharp one That wedge was education. it had already been introduced: it would be driven home. and it would rend the Catholic body asunder." That statement was preserved like a fly in amber in the columns of the "Argus" the following morning, "and." asked Dr. O'Reilly. "was ever such a statement made in any other Dominion under the British Crown?"

The Aim of the Campaign. In New South Wales, Sir Henry Parkes, who had actually spoken in favour of Catholic education, afterwards came into Parliament and told them that he held in his hand an Education Bill that would put an end to the calling of the priesthood of the I hurch of Rome. "And," added Dr. O'Reilly, "Parkes is gone, and the Catholic priesthood is I can understand that still here Alfred Deakin spoke the truth when he said that a wave of atheism had swept over Australia in the 'seventies. "And you can see that the beginnings of anti-religious education in Australia was inspired by a hatred of the very name of Christ. The aim of the campaign was to rend the Catholic body asunder. and I always think that these men who undertook the role of prophets should have calculated a little more carefully the history of the Church, 'the milk-white hind, oft condemned to death but fated not to (lie.'" Time to Wake Up. His grievance against politicians was that they had continued that policy of hatred of the Catholic Church. They had failed however and they would continue to fail, because the Catholic pet). ple were unbeatable. "There was a time," he added, "when the Catholics had their hats in their hands They no longer have their hats in their hands, but they have their boots on their feet, and it is time they put in the boot (Laughter) They don't sing 'Solidarity.' but they pull it off, and no one else has practised that wonderful solidarity between Bishops, priests and people that has made the Australian Church the wonder of the world," Whether the politicians solved the problem of education or not. they would heat them in the future as they had done in the past As good Australians they should he determined to remove from their country the blot upon her fair escutcheon that tarnished its gold and associated Australia with evil doings that no self-respecting country should condone it was time to wake up

ford to pay for them, those desiring secondary education should be made to pay for it if they were able to do so. In New South Wales, apart altogether from the brilliant boys and girls for whom bursaries were previded, two hundred entered the University of Sydney every year who had not to pay a penny in -University fees for three years. The Anti-Catholic Attitude. The attitude of those opposed to Catholic claims in education was this: "We admit that you give the same education as our State schools but we will give you nothing because you teach Christianity." The Brisbane "Courier" that morning, reporting the division in the House of Commons on the Education Bill, had said that the Catholic members withdrew their support demanding State aid for sectarian schools. That meant that they were Catholics. If anyone said that he had become an agnostic he would be looked upon as a broadminded man; if he became a Mohammedan his friends would see unthought-of virtues revealed in him in a few months; and if he became a Buddhist no one would question the reason of his change of faith. "But," added Dr . O'Reilly. "according to the Brisbane 'Courier,' if you are a Christian you are sectarian."

What Catholics Want. "Into every school in Australia Catholic put one brick of every five and pay for it. In England the Catholics have got everything we are asking for in Australia: as also in Scotland, where the Catholics are only a small minority, and in Wales and in Canada. Only in Australia, at the hands of our fellow. citizens, from whom we deserve better things, we get scurvy treatment meted out to us. "We deserve better at the hands of our Catholic Labour man He is a power in Australia, and he has come to stay. He should take heart of grace front the example of his forty fellow Labour members in England to-day, and we should be able to say through the length and breadth of Australia, from Leeuwin to the Line, that Austra,. .ta is not suffering any injustice for conscience's sake "—"Advi,eate."

He convinced them, by giving them the experience of it, that in organised co-operative association lay a highway to economic safety. The people had faith in him and so put trust in his ministry of new ideas. Nor was the goal at which his self-help aimed solely material betterment; he saw its psychological value in infusing self-confidence. He developed the worthiest capacities of our farmer community, supplanting sporadic, spasmodic, unintelligent individbal effort by organised collective action. And his scheme of agricultural banks demonstrated the moral value of making character the basis of credit. The Chairman announced that owing to the generosity of the subscribers, they were able not only to present Father Finlay with his portrait, but to establish an Endowment in the College c onnected with the science which he hail been interested in for so many Years. The precise nature of that Endowment had not yet been determined. The Chairman then unveiled the portrait, and Father Finlay, who was received with applause, cordially thanked the subscribers, who had enabled him to present to the College a memorial of his years of service in the University. While he appreciated the motives which lay behind the presentation, his best reward was the students who had passed through his class-loons. and who had distinguished themselves in the sen-ice of their country. Father Finlay next paid a tribute to Sir Horace Plunkett's work in* the Cooperative movement, and said he was delighted to see present a representative of the Dungloe workers from Donegal. who had rendered a big service to the nation and the country as a whole. They had taught a lesson to the people which they had a sad need to learn. In an isolated hamlet on the Dimegal coast they had established an industry without help from the Government, without patronage from capitalists, and by sheer determination and hard work it had become most successful, its wares being sold in different parts of the world. The Woollen Mills at Foxford had been established by cloistered nuns for the purpose of uplifting the people in a squalid and poverty-stricken district, and their success was a matter of great satisfaction to him. The founder, although broken in health, was still in the convent at Foxford, and he would like that a message should be conveyed to her that they at a gathering of that kind appreciated what she had done. There were many schemes for establishing industry in Ireland, but if the problem was to be solved, it would only be by what had made Dungloe and Foxford what they were—hard work and clear thinking

SOURCE OF SPIRITUAL SADNESS.

How many are there whose real end in the spiritual life is self-improvement rather than God, and how little they suspect it! Now, perhaps, it is true to say that we never attain in the way of self-improvement even the point which seems to us quite easy of attainment. We are always below the mark we aimed at. Here ,again, is another source of sadness. But, whatever way we look at this miserable disposition, we shall find that the secret fountain of all its phases is the want of mortification, and more especially of external mortification. In a word, who e ver found any spiritual sadness in men trying to be good, which did not come either from a want-of humility or from habitually acting without distinct re ference to God? —Faber.

The different passes and scholarships, etc., secured by my nieces and nephews made me feel very pleased, but I am a little bit greedy, and this year I expect the number to be doubled. One little thing there is to remember, and, yet it is not a little thing, it is a big thing: No matter what troubles came along, and these are not smiling times, meet them with a smile. Do your part bravely, and be cheerful and smiling. It is impossible for mothers and fathers to give you the same privileges that they gave you last year. and you can help and cheer them along by not asking for luxuries, pleasures costing money, or. if you ask, and a refusal is given, think: "Well. I know if Dad and Mumu could let me have it. they would, because they never begrudge me anything in their power that will do me good." So, keep on smiling. be joyous and happy, and bring smiles and cheerful words along with you. AUNT BESSY.

Food's too hat, or else LOO cold. All they care to do is scold. If it's fine they still complain, Growl again, to see the rain. All these children do is cry, Nothing pleases, so, why try? Grumbling all the whole day long, E verything that's done is wrong. Boys who live in laughing land, Sing and play 'a happy band. Frowns are banished far away, Smiles chase tears and woes to-day. Oh it is a pleasure sweet, All the happy boys to meet. Everything we do it right, And the days seem short and bright. Boys and girls leave crying land. Come and join the laughing band. Laugh 'neath skies so bright and blue, And your school mates laugh with you.

Over trivial matters I delayed. Then I went—why had I stayed? ' I found that I had gone too late: The valley lay inanimate. The brook was shrunk, and crept along; Sinister silence choked its song. The giant white birches chilled my heart: Like lonely ghosts, they leaned apart. Oak leaves hung stiffly, shrivelled, brown, Too tired in death to flutter down.

vou were welcome, and might enter at once." So it is with Christ, the "door" of God's love. This is a door that is easily opened; it is never locked. Christ loves to admit lost ones to His Father's blessedness. No one who creeps up, no matter how timidly, out of whatever sin, will be thrust away. When the dove, after all her restless flight. returned to the ark, it is a gentle touch in the story which says that Noah reached out his hand and drew the weary bird inside. That is the way Christ does when a soul, weary and faint, flies to the window of His love. TO LIFT THE HEART. Nut a few of the early heresies were founded on the refusal of some people to think that art ought to be used in the service of the Creator, for they feared that it would lead to idolatry. Tt is surprising how often it happens that people themselves who have no sense of art fail entirely to understand the fine effect that art has on others and how the emotions it produces can he used to lift up the heart and mind for the highest purposes of worship — Walsh.

WORDS OF WISDOM. God moved by compassion for our misery and perverse inclinations, permits temptations to come upon us, and sometimes to be very horrible, and to come under different forms, that we may humble ourselves and know ourselves, though they seem to us to be useless.

SAINTS AND SINNERS. A COAT OF MAIL. 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 ten years gets up in the morning, works, plays, studies, and we can tell you just what kind of a man he will make.

THE RECORD.

Saturday, February 14, 1931.

St. Francis of Sales, on life and literature: "To every man, however holy he may be, there always remains some imperfection, so that we do no injury to the saints when, in recounting their virtues, we relate their sins and defects: but, on the contrary, those who write their lives, seem for this reason to do a great injury to mankind by concealing their sins, for fear of diminishing the esteem of their sanctity. Oh. no indeed, this is not to act properly, but it is to wrong the saints and all For beholding the defects posterity. of the saints, while admiring their lives. we learn how great is the goodness of God. . . ." A BIG DIFFERENCE. The worldly man, swayed by the passion of enjoying every good here below, will count sin as nothing or very Provided he is amused, all little. means are good and praiseworthy. The Christian, on the other hand, without despising the relaxations and enjoyments necessary for his feeble nature, will dread above all any offence against Like St. John Chrysostom. he God. will fear nothing but sin: "unum timet He will Chrysostomus. peccatum." never forget that his soul is immortal Nay, and that God will judge it. more, to fear the judgments of God is not sufficient for him, and as he loves God as a Father most worthy of all love, he will always seek to please Him Such a thought has in everything. no existence in the heart of a worldly man.—Mgr. Albert Forges. ARMOUR AGAINST EVIL. Keep yourselves modest, humble, full of sorrow for sin, and hatred of self. Be always recollected with as much attention and respect as if you were present at the Holy Sacrifice of the Altar, in order that the devil may have no opportunity of suggesting evil thoughts to your mind.—St. Ammon.

THE LEPRECHAUN. In a shady nook one moonlight night A leprechaun I spied, With scarlet cap and coat of green, A cruiscin by his side. 'Twas tick, tick, tick his hammer went Upon a weeny shoe, And I laughed to think of a purse of gold, With tip-toe step and beating heart Quite softly I drew nigh; There was mischief in his merry face, A twinkle in his eye. He hammered and sang with a tiny voice, And he drank his mountain dew, And I laughed to think he was caught at last, But the fairy was laughing, too. As quick as thought I seized the eff: "Your fairy purse!" I cried. "The purse," he said, " 'tis in her hand— That lady by your side:' turned to look, the elf was off, Then what was I to do? Ohl I laughed to think what a fool I'd been, But the fairy was laughing, too. —William Allingham. HOW GOD TEACHES. To comprehend how it is that temptations are sent us by God for our good we must consider that man, because of the evil inclinations of corrupt nature, is proud, ambitious, conceited, and always thinks himself to be more than This self-esteem is so dangerhe is. ous to true spiritual progress that the very scent of it is enough to hinder Therethe attainment of perfection. fore our most faithful God, in that loving Providence which He exercises over each one, and especially over those who have truly given themselves up to His service, takes care to place us in positions where we may escape so great a danger: so that we are, as it were, forced to come to a true knowledge of ourselves.—The Imitation

"John.- she said, "I shall die of fright ti you bring one of those awful things here. We shall have the house blown down as sure as anything." "But,- protested John. "it's safe enough.

"Yes. I couldn't marry a man who had broken his nose." "How did it happen?" "I hit him on the nose when he was teaching me to play golf." "I believe,- said the cheery philosopher, "that for every single thing you give away, twofold comes back to you." "That's my experience," agreed the t ither. "Last March I gave away my daughter, and she and her husband vame back in July." Mabs: "Why did Mabel look so savage as she came out of church after her wedding?" Babs: "The organist was a discarded lover of hers. You know, they had been engaged for two Years." Mabs: "But what difference does that make?" Babs: "As the wedding procession came down the aisle he started playing, 'I ain't a.goin' to tell.'" Amongst the army of Blackpool carriage-drivers is an Irishman, noted for his native wit. It stood him in poor stead one day. however. Pat was engaged by a gentleman to drive to a hydropathic establishment. On arrival at the gate the fare inquired: "What's Your fare, driver?" "Well, stir." said Pat. "the manest iintleman I ever drove here gave me t wo shillings." "Is that sci?" exclaimed the gentleman, who was a hit of a wag. "Well. here's a shilling for you, my man; I like the idea of breaking records." Diner: "Waiter, there is no wishbone in this chicken." Waiter: "It didn't need one, sir. That chicken lived such a contented life that it had nothing to wish for."

Barrister: "How far were you from the spot when the cars collided?" Witness: "Eighteen feet and three inches." Barrister: "How do you know it was exactly that distance?" Witness: - Because I measured it, t hinking some fool might ask me about the distance." A mountain school teacher corrected a boy who •said, "I ain't gwine thar."That's no way to talk. Listen. I am not going there; thou art not going there: he is not going there; we are not going there; they are not going there. Do you get the idea?" "Yessus. They ain't nobody gwine!" In the stillness of the night there came a noise from the dining-room. "Something's moving," whispered Mrs. Brown. "Go down, Herbert." "I don't think it's—er----anything," faltered Herbert. "Herbert, are you afraid to go down and face that burglar?" demanded his wife. "Afraid? Certainly not!" he stammered. "But you know, my dear, how I hate meeting strangers." Tom and his father were calling on a big game hunter. and Tom had been put on the floor to play with a tigerskin rug. He interrupted his elders' conversation with so many questions that finally the hunter took Tom on his lap and told him about the tiger hunt. Tom returned to the rug, examined it with renewed interest, and then in. quired: "How did you shoot it so flat?" A school teacher said to her class or I oys: "I am going to give each of you three buttons. You must think of the first as representing Life, the second Liberty. and the third Happiness. In three days I want You to produce t hese buttons, when I shall expect you t o tell me what they stand for.' On the appointed day she asked one of the boys for his buttons. "I ain't got 'em all," he said.

"You will then find that the parachute will open and You'll come down as lightly as a feather." "But supposing it, doesn't open?" asked one of his listeners. "Bring it back, and I'll give you another,- replied the instructor. The hen had scurried across the road right under the wheels of the car, and the motorist was having the usual argument with the angry farmer. "Well, how much is your old hen worth, anyway?" he demanded. "Well, she's worth about five shillings," said the farmer, "but I've an old rooster that's pretty fond of her. He'll die of the shock, so make it ten." "Well, my little man," said the fond grandfather, "how are you getting on a t school?"
