The American Negro CATHOLIC OR EPISCOPALIAN. Sweeping changes in denominational loyalties among the millions of American Negro religionists are under way! This racial group, which constitutes over 10 per cent of the population of the United States, has hitherto attached itself to Evangelistic churches. Converts to Catholicism and the Episcopalian faith during the past decade, indicate that the majqrity of future generations of Negroes will be members of the last two named religious bodies. These and many other pertinent racial facts are discussed in Dr. John Louis Hill's new work. "Negro—National Asset or Liability,' which was published recently. Many of the author's conclusions are certain to arouse much comment and discussion. For instance, Dr. Hill ascribes the current Negro affiliations to early religious environment, and believes that the Episcopalian and Catholic doctrines and forms of worships are an irresistible attraction to the Negroes's emotional and mental point of view. Dr. Hill's book is based on close study, survey and observation over a lifetime. He is a southerner by birth and tradition, and an independent Democrat in political affairs. Educated for the ministry, he graduated from a theological seminary and served in several Congregational pastorates. Excerpts from Dr. Hill's chapter on religion follows: "More than half of the adult Negro population in America is identified with some church or other. A very large majority of Negro church-members in the United States belong to Protestant denominations. But from a careful analysis of all the churches, and of the forms of worship in the churches, both Protestant and Catholic, and of the Negro's mental makeup and natural tendencies, the inevitable conclusion must be that most negroes are Protestant, because of their early religious environment. Their religious history had its beginning in the South, where the Protestant churches predominated, and naturally, the coloured church became Baptist or Methodist, or Presbyterian, or what not, because they were patterned after the white churches which were the only models they had at hand. These organisations, from their humble beginnings, have spread far and wide over the country at large, and have taken on such proportions that their membership is now numbered among the millions. The largest among them is Baptist, with the A. M. E. Zion, perhaps ranking second. Practically all of the Protestant religious bodies in America are represented by Negro organisations. "Though small in number, there are some coloured Episcopalians and Roman Catholic churches. In some of the cities where there are no coloured Roman Catholic congregations, a sprinkling of Negroes here and there, are communicants of white Roman Catholic churches. "It is significant that within the last decade, the proportionate number of Negroes becoming Episcopalians and Catholics, particularly the latter, has rapidly increased. This fact, together with a careful study of Negro psychology and the peculiarities of the Episcopalian and Catholic churches, lead the writer to make a prediction which of course may, or may not come true. Holding no brief for any church, and in this connection disclaiming any bias for or against any religious body, the writer believes that within another half century a much larger proportion of American religionists classed as Negroes, will become members of the two last mentioned religious bodies, with more of them Catholic than Episcopalian. "This prediction is based upon wellknown facts relative to the Negro's nature, and upon the doctrines and the forms of worship of these churches. As regards the Negro himself, his mind and his artistic and dramatic nature quickly sense and readily react to the colourful, the theatrical, the 'pomp and circumstance,' and to the dramatic, in expression of all things. In this sense, the Episcopalian service and the High Miss of the Roman Catholic Church render complete satisfaction to the natural demands of the Negro's menThere is not tal and artistic being. enough force in adverse conditions and circumstances to always keep separated a people, and systems and forms of worship, as naturally adapted and as completely conforming to each other as are the coloured people and the two above mentioned churches."

THE RECORD.

Science and Religion Is there a War Between Them? "The Old Faith and the New Learning" was the subject of an address delivered in the Theatre Royal, Dublin, by Dr. Downey, Archbishop of LiverIn the course of his address, pool. the eloquent and learned Archbishop said: The past thirty years represented something more than the conventional early years of a century. Already a new spirit—elusive and perplexing— was discernible in life and literature. It was difficult to describe and impossible to define. But if the 13th. century stood out as the golden age of philosophy and the 17th. as heralding the reign of physical science, they might not inaptly describe the present as a psychological age. On the other hand, recently a president of the British Association had de. dared this to be "the Heroic Age of Physics," and with excellent reason, when they considered the marvellous scientific discoveries and inventions which had so far marked its course. The advance had been not merely in physical science, but in mental science also. Psychology, from being the Cinderella of the sciences, had become the Queen of the Muses. Nowadays there was a psychology of everything—of life, literature, and art—and there was, too, a pseudo-psychology of religion which, under the guise of the new learning, had brought about the revival of many ancient heresies. The time spirit of every age was reflected in the religious aberrations of the period and consequently, to-day, there was a notable tendency to proclaim science as saviour. to try to explain everything, even the mysteries A numof faith, in terms of science. ber of people, some of them dignitaries of the Church of England, seemed tu have been thrown oft their balance in the welter of controversy and to have lost themselves and others in "the profane novelties of words and the oppositions of knowledge, falsely so-called. T hey were very busy endeavouring to bring the Gospel up-to-date, or, as they said, making it acceptable to the modem mind, by striving to harmonise it with what they conceived to be the latest scientific discoveries. But with all due respect to these mucl,rn pundits, continued Dr. Downey, was there a war between science no contact there was no conflict; and and religion? Surely, where there was there was no immediate contact between the provinces of science and religion. Between science and religion there was the third province (if philosophy. Science dealt in description, philostinny, in explanation, and religion had been defined by Cardinal Newman as ' the worship ot God.'' That science was not concerned with the ultimate explanation of things was freely admitted by scientists themselves. Prof. Karl Pearson had written: "An explanation is never given by science. The whole of science is description." So, too, Prof. Wetham said: "Physical science seeks to establish general rules which describe the sequence of phenoim na in all cases: And again, Sir ()dyer Lodge said: "Science is the metrical knowledge of phenomena"; and he went on to point out that in regions where measurement did not apply there was no science. Dean Inge, whose gloomy utterances contributed much to the gaiety of nations, lieemed more interested in science than religion, or what he conceived to be science, and told them there was a war between religion and science. Dr. Barnes, of Birmingham, added to this the soothing reference, "Amen, so be it." Both said that in this war religion was getting the worst of it, and they appeared to be positive. ly pleased (Laughter). Philosophy, on the contrary, was a rational attempt to explain the universal order of things by their ultimate causes or principles. There could be no conflict between accurate description and true explanation, between sane science and sound philosophy, and the din of contending parties existed only in the heated imaginations of people who had misconceived the function of science or the function of religion, or, alas, the functions of both. Truth could not be at war with itself, and in the worship of the Eternal Truth both science and philosophy played their humble but harmonious dart.: A good instance of the way in which the so-called war between science and

religi,,i ,.- i‘m king was afforded by Prof. Bury in his -History of the Free. dom of Thought." His thesis was, "The proofs furnished by science that the Biblical record as to the antiquity of man is false." As a matter of fact, there was no Biblical record as to the antiquity of man, as Prof. Bury knew, for he himself said: "An English divine of the 17th. century (Dr. John Lightfoot, Vice-Chancellor of Cambridge University) ingeniously calculated that man was created by the Trinity on October 23, B.C. 4904, at 9 o r in the morning. and no reckoning of the birth dates could put the event much further back." The so-called Biblical record turned out to be a reckoning based on the Hebrew genealogies on the assumption that these genealogies were as complete as the list of the Kings of England. The discrepancy, therefore, if there were any discrepancy, was between the figures for the age of man based on the date furnished by astronomy, geology, and other physical sciences on the one hand, and the hypothetical figures based on admittedly incomplete genealogies on the other. That was a fair sample of the way in which the "war" between science and religion was worked up. The utterances of militant Rationalists were set forth as the sober findings of science with a capital S. The substitution of description for e xplanation had been the favourite trick of every materialist from Demo. critus down to the latest Rationalist They had a very good instance of it in Mr. Well's account of the origin of the world. They were given a most minute description of how everything happened. He described for them tht struggle for existence, the survival of the fittest, and natural selection. All this was description. It wa< as though they sought to show that a watch need not have had a watchmaker by giving a minute description of its internal mechanism. This elemental religion was to bring about a Humanitarian Utopia in which there would be no madhouse, no Custom House officials, no large police forces or jail staffs, no cheats, sharpers gamblers, forestallers, parasites, or speculators, but in which nevertheless there would be no diminution of ad They were some• venture or romance what dazed by this vision of the "unification of the world." The history of the human race on its intellectual side was simply the history of the inquiry which man was f or ever instituting into the meaning and nature of his surroundings. The greatest of all these questions was the question as to the origin of the uniHow did it come into verse itself. being? The old answer was that the universe and everything in it was brought into being by a cause uncaused, outside the universe and distinct from it. Nowadays that answer was being set aside in favour of non-theistic evolution, and they were given the thrilling drama from microbe to man. Said these evolutionists: "Only give us a sufficiently long time, and we will show you how to get nearly everything out of next-to-nothing." The real difficulty for the out-and' out evolutionist was to bridge the gulf between mind and matter, and all attempts to bridge that gulf had failed ignotninouslv. Darwinism had been put forwar

simpit I H frock, made of um crushable crepe, has a frock cut in one piece, with a narrow front panel set in to a low set flare. The front panel, and where the low set flare is, has piping of a contrasting silk. The front panel is finished with buttons. The tie, collar, cuffs and belt are of the same shade as the contrasting silk. A sensible morning frock of printed cotton, has the fullness in the forward shoulder seams set in, and finishes in cross over fashion to the waist. A vest is inset of contrasting material. The skirt has inverted pleats cut in one with the front of the frock. A delightful walking frock of black georgette shows a shirred front that harmonises in line with the slanting side seams of the centre-front panel. The skirt is flared, and cut cross-wise, continuing the princess line. The ivory lact collars and cuffs, finished with a douse edging and binding of georgette, makes an appropriate finish. Children's frocks still continue on the simple lines, and childhood and simplicity should go together. A pretty little party dress of pale pink crepe de chine has a wide, round shoulder yoke, trimmed with small appliques. Dainty smocking gathers the fullness of the front of the frock to the front. A dainty little frock of cambric has a scalloped deep yoke, with invertea pleats set to the downward points of each scallop. A Peter Pan collar has birds worked on, it, the scallops of the yoke and hem being worked to cop respond with the collar. A frock for a girl of twelve years, made of figured silk, has a deep-pointed yoke front and back, and pleated in six knife pleats each side of the deep-pointed yoke. A tie and belt of self material finishes a neat and useful frock. Very useful garment for drill and dancing can be made of check cotton, printed fugi. or plain linen. The top part is finished with a Peter Pan collar of contrasting material, and the full skirt and undies are edged with the same contrasting material.

The Garden. The enthusiasm for gardening will come round again with the turn of the year. The waning of summer, and the care will come again for the things that grow in the garden. To the patient gardener winter is a time of waiting, and as winter is approaching it is time to prepare. In winter we can work at midday in the garden; in summer the midday heat is too intense, so winter is made bearable be cause there are so many things in the garden we can do that we cannot do in the heat of summer. In winter nature sends all the fairy flower folk to sleep. a sleep so deep, that we cannot wake them until the proper time comes Flowers will not reawaken round. before their appointed time. All women love flowers, and a flower and vegetable garden at home is a decided asset. Many a wearisome hour can be whiled away in the garden. and how interesting it is to plant the seeds watch the young plants grow, then the flower buds come, and then the full glory of the garden in its gay array of flowers of all hues. Does not the result justify the toil?

The Question Box Archbishop Vaughan. Roger William Vaughan was the second Archbishop of Sydney. He came of a remarkable family, which gave to the Church six priests, three of whom became Bishops, and five nuns. Roger was the second son, the eldest Herbert, eventually becoming Cardinal and third Archbishop of Westminster. Archbishop Vaughan, of Sydney, was born in Herefordshire, in 1834, and died suddenly in 1883, while on a visit to He became a Benedictine England. monk, and after spending some years in England was, in 1872, chosen as Coadjutor Archbishop of Sydney, to which See he succeeded in 1877. The remaining six years of his life were spent in apostolic work, and in the interests principally of Catholic - primary education. Zionism. Zionism is a movement to segregate the Jewish people as a nation, and give them a national home, either in Palestine or elsewhere. Orthodox Zionism looks to the return of the Jewish nation in Palestine, the coming of the Messias, and the restoration of the Temple and its worship. The reformed Jews reject this idea of a return to Palestine, and aim at the unity of the JewThe efforts of the Zionists ish race. to found a Jewish State have been only fitful and intermittent. Various Zionist Congresses have been held, and some Jewish communities have been founded, but the realisation of the Zionist ideal seems still very far off. Mamertime Prison. The .Mamertime Prison is situated under a church in Rome, known as "St. Joseph of the Carpenters," near the f orum of Trajan. According to tradition, St. Peter was imprisoned here, but historically there is no proof of this. The prison dates from the pre-Christian times of Rome, and was the dungeon of many political prisoners.

The Earthquake in New Zealand DESTRUCTION OF MARIST SEMINARY AND OTHER LOSSES

Two Marist Fathers and Seven Students Killed The results of the appalling earthquake in New Zealand have called forth world-wide sympathy for the Dominion in the tragic loss it has sustained by the destruction of Napier How and other flourishing towns. terrible and complete was the ruin caused by the disturbance we may conjecture from the views given in our local dailies of the shattered and broken town of Napier. The greater part of a beautiful and prosperous seaside town was stricken into a heap of fallen masonry and twisted building material. The havoc wrought is awful in its comWhat the earthquake did pleteness. The not destroy fire accomplished. destruction to life and property in the North Island is pitiful. The whole of New Zealand has been thrown into mourning. In the cathedrals and in the churches throughout the Dominion Masses were celebrated for the repose of the souls of those who had lost their lives in the earthquake.

Our Boarding Summer Schools--Shall they Continue? return Ilona:, but the littAlics. Scheme will follow them into their homes by monthly letters and lessons, and thus keep alive the many instructions they received during the weeks' residence at the convent. Look at what has been done this summer ,and convince yourselves that you can do something more. In the country the main sacrifices have been made, and all that we are asked to do is help to finance the scheme. For each child boarded at the Convent the Scheme promises to pay 10s. per week.

Father Gilroy, seated among 56 children, drawn from the distant corners of his Parish, to board at the Albany Convent, where for two weeks they were prepared for the Sacra ments by the Sisters of St. Joseph Father Gilroy. surrounded by the 56 Bushies who spent two weeks at the Albany Convent recently, in preparation for their First Holy Communion. They came by car, cart, horseback, or on "shank's mare." from the scattered settlers home between Nornalup and Denmark, and from the cottages of the Group Settlements. During the two weeks in Albany the girls lived at the Convent, and the boys were hospitably accommodated by Catholic families in Albany. Every forenoon there was school, but it was so new to these children that it did not seem like school at all. For the first time many of them listened with wonder in their eyes to the story of Him Who dwelt amongst us. The Church had the attraction of a treasure chest for these unspoiled innocents from the bush. and Benediction, with its lights and music, was a thrill not readily forgotten. Slowly, step by step, they were gently led by the patient Sister: until the great morning came when IT to Whom they were drawing closer would fill their souls with His Sacramental Presence for the first time. The pastor and the Sisters eagerly await. that morning also, and receive an adequate return for the sacrifices they have made in beholding their young faces suffused with a holy joy. Out back there are hearts beating faster in the settlers' lonely home, and in the cottages of the Groups, when parents remind each other that their little gill or boy will this morning receive Our Blessed Lord into their joyous heart, We can detect tears glistening in the mother's eves, but they are tears gratitude to God that a zealous priest in their district, and a convent of Sisters imbued with the Apostolic spirit have reached out to their bush home gathered up their children into their arms, and carried them near the Taber narle home of Our Blessed Lord, there to spend two weeks beneath its pro tecting shadows. Without this schen,of summer boarding schools, what hope had their young ones of being properly prepared for the Sacraments? Dad is

too busy wrestling with the primaeval forest to earn bread for his home. Mother has many things to make her days all too short to do them in. The school does not help. The pastor cannot face that duty, much as he would like to. His visits are too infrequent, and usually hurried, to take in another centre. To meet that urgent need, the Mishits' Scheme exists. Look at its cork this year, and convince yourselves that here is something that is worth helping. here is charity translated into action, here is missionary work that Compels your admiration. And all that is possible because the priests in dktriets have searched the

four corners of their vast districts and gathered in the children living far away from the sound of the church bell, and farther still from the murmured prayers that herald the approach to a Catholic school. And our Teaching Sisters, who are ever ready to make sacrifices, willingly give up their holidays, fill their convent homes during the only quiet weeks in the year, and spend themselves teaching the children "to know, love, and serve God here on earth.Having finished their school work, the pastor. and Sisters, with the active co-operation of the towns people, organise sports, picnics, and entertainments for the children The children

PERTH, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1931.

Lent--The Season of Penance Those of you who are fortunate enough, and indeed, wise enough, to pray the Mass with the priest in your missals, will have listened to the voice of the Church speaking to you during the past three Sundays, Septuagesima, Sexagesima, and Quinquagesima, in her heaven-forged language of the liturgy. You will have noticed that her priests are clothed in the sombre purple hue of penance, that the joyous singing of the "Gloria in Excelsis" is now silent, and that your thoughts are directed by Epistle and Gospel to the need for penance, if you would become better. The atmosphere is thus created, and Lent comes to souls already awaiting. The answer to our question, What is Lent? is that Lent is but a vest-pocket edition of life. Lent offers to the thoughtful a model season of Christian life. The aim of living for the Christian is the abiding union of man's will with the Will of Christ, a union blossoming in a service of obedience grounded in love. The price that must be paid for that closer union is death to self, genuine sacrifice, consistent penitential practices. And the reward for such living is a Christ-like character. WHAT IS LENT?

Lent is ushered in with the dramatic symbolism of the ashes. As the priest marks your forehead on Ash Wednesday, he says to SPIRIT each one of you: "Remember, man, thou art I ut dust, and unto dust thou shalt return." OF LENT? \ shes are a picture of our life, for our body shall be ashes. Ashes are a symbol of death, and a symbol of sin. The strewing of the ashes remind us of death and sin in order to arouse in our hearts a real spirit of penance. and to express sorrow for our sins. During the weeks that are now before us, all the great preachers of penance address us: Isaias, Ezechial, Daniel, Jeremias. They all speak of the need of penance and conversion to God. The contest between the Prince of Light and the prince of darkness for mastery over our souls is ever going on—Christ and His adversary wrestle for possession. As this contest is ever going on, we are drawn more and more into it. The "strong one." the devil, must be dethroned in 'my heart by the "stronger one,- Christ. Christ must reign in it. He will be established on His throne by fasting. prayer, and charity. These three will curb the strength of the evil one, will weaken vices and attachment to sin. Prayer, fasting, and penance are the armour of the Christian. Protected by these safeguards, we can enter the contest and do battle with the spirits- of wickedness. WHAT IS THE

• 1.ent is the spring- time of the soul. The soil Hi our hearts must he prepared ; obstacles must he removed; they hinder the growth of MESSAGE the seed of the Word of God. Paths of inOF LENT? difference must be treated and tilled to render them soft soil ; brambles of passion must be pruned and cleared away; and the weeds of worldliness and excessive pleasures must be rooted out. Lent offers us a golden opportunity to return to our work in the vineyard of our souls. We are asked to come away from the whirlwind of amusements swirling around us, so that the din of our pleasures may not, during Lent, as it does at other times, prevent us hearing the knocking of the Master at the door of our hearts, seeking admittance. And the Master's call to us during Lent is to follow Him along the paths of self-denial, and self-imposed mortifications. "If any man will come after Me. let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me."

His parents died when he was very young, and he was left in the hands of a brother ,who was married, and in whose house he was treated worse than a slave. Another brother, a priest, called Damian, took pity on him, and gave him an education. It is probable that St. Peter took the surname of Damian out of gratitude to this brother, who was so fatherly towards him. Peter made great progress in study. He became a religious, and led a life of austerity and fervour. Pope Stephen created him Cardinal Bishop of Ostia. A later Pope allowed him to resign his Bishopric, and to go back to his beloved desert, but he was employed from time to time in Church matters of importance. He helped religion greatly by his writings. Ile died at the age of 83 years. February 24.—St. Matthias. Apostle. Double of the 2nd. Class. Red. 2. Of the Day. Creed. Preface of Apostles.

A public Retreat, open to all the Catholic men of Perth, will be preached in the Monastery Church, beginning on Sunday night, February 22nd., at 7.30. Men only will be admitted into the church at the exercises of the Retreat. The Retreatants will live at home, and go to work as usual. The Retreat will continue morning and evening during the week.

The men will go to their General Communion on Sunday, March 1st., in their respecThe Retreat will tive churches. close at the Monastery Church on Sunday night, March 1st., at 7.30. The Exercises of the Retreat will be conducted by Rev. Father Mitchell, C.SS.R., and Rev. Father Cosgrave, C.SS.R. The Retreat is intended to prepare the way for the inauguration of the new branch of the Archconfraternity of the Holy Family, which will be established at the Monastery Church during the Retreat. The members of that body will be divided into sections, according to their parishes and districts. The Retreatants are in no way bound to join the Archconfra. ternity, but will have every opportunity of learning all about it. The Retreat and the establishment of the new branch have the blessing of His Grace the Archbishop, and the cordial approval of all the priests of the city. The Redemptorist Fathers most earnestly invite every Catholic man—married or single—to attend the Retreat from start to finish. The Eastern States exchanges notif us of the serious illness of His Lon: ship Bishop Shields, of Rockhampto:‘. Dr. Shields has been under medica care since his return from his ad lim m a visit in 1927. Prayers have been asked for him in the churches of his diocese, and we hope our people will remember him also. Passing by on the "Oronsay" on Tuesday, the Rev. Father Moore, cf West Maitland, spoke interestingly on the smooth running of the organisatioa preparing for the 1932 Congress in Du:). lin. We have been publishing each week some extracts from the first official Bulletin issued by the central committee. News was cabled to Sister M. Colman. Convent of Mercy. Victoria Square, of the death of her brother, Rev. Father Francis Ryan, 0.F.M., at the Friary, Drogheda, Ireland, on the 12th. February. Father Francis was the third of three brothers who joined the Franciscan Order in Forest Gate, London. Father Felix, the eldest, is attached to the Friary in Liverpool. Father Paul is the Superior of the Head House in Forest Gate. and Father Francis (R.I.P.) was transferred to the Irish Province and worked in Drogheda until his death at the age of 40 years. The deceased has two sisters in Religion, Sister M. Antonia, Convent of Mercy. Strabane, and Sister M. Colman, Convent of Mercy, Victoria Square. To the young priest's mother. Mrs. Ryan, still living in Clare, we extend our sincere sympathy.

News and Notes The Abbe Victor Bouillon, of Nice, who was suspended three years ago for publicly affirming his support of the Action Francaise. has made his submission. After dedicating a book to one of the leaders of the movement, he defended it in a public letter, although it had been condemned bv the Holy Father. He was suspended by Mgr. Ricard. then Bishop of Nice. The Abbe Bouillon is believed to be the last to make his submission of the two or three priests who publicly defended the Action Francaise after its condemnation by the Holy See. * "Rome was not built in a day, and. short of a miraculous intervention by Divine Providence, the real Catholicism of which Rome is the one and only centre will not be fully re-established in England except through generations This of strenuous toil and labour."

The first woman in the Philippine Islands to receive premier honours in the annual Bar examinations of Manila, Philippine Islands, is Miss Tecla San Miss Andres, a practical Catholic. San Andres achieved first place in the latest examination, and ascribes her success to prayer. She is a graduate of the University of the Philippines. Father Lopez, M.S.C., who is on a short holiday in Perth, preached an eloquent and instructive sermon on "Sanctifying Grace" at St. Brigid's, W est Perth, at the evening devotions on Sunday night last. Father Lopez is stationed in Adelaide, South Australia. The world to-day is looking on every side for leadership to rescue it from its But it fails to see that difficulties. its strength and direction lay in the moral laws of religion, in the will of God, declared Father Henry Day, S.J., M.C., in opening a course of sermons on St. Joan of Arc, in the Church of Our Lady of Victories, Kensington, London. In these times of political and economic distress, we would do well to imitate the supernatural courage and confidence of the Saint. She listened with an intentness which left her no time for doubts to the voice which told her of the Divine Will. • On last Sunday morning, Dr. O'Hurley announced that during the Lenten Season, Stations of the Cross will be given at Bayswater every Friday evenSince the beginning of ing at 7.45. the scholastic year the Sisters from Maylands have made arrangements for a Catechism Class at Bayswater every Sunday morning after the 8 o'clock So far the attendance has Mass. been satisfactory. It is not generally known that for a number of years the wife of the great Marshal Joffre was a student at the Convent of the Assumption, -Kensington Square, London, writes "Onlooker,' the chatty columnist of the "Catholic A few years ago Madame Times." Joffre visited her old school in the company of a distinguished member of the French Embassy, and was introduced 'to the Rev. Mother by her maiden name. During a tour of the convent the visitor was escorted to the dormitory, and here the Superior paused •before a bed over which hung a picture of the Marshal. Turning to Madame Joffre, she said: "This is where the wife of Marshal Joffre used The sursleep; do you know her?" prise of the nuns upon Madame Joffre revealing her identity can well be imagined. When there is so much whinging and whining about depression, a few "howlers" might be enlivening to depressed spirits. Here are a few of the latest; they follow the recent University exams.: "The lifeboat is so wonderfully constructed that, it can carry more than it can hold." "I am sorry I was unable to attend school yesterday, but I fell and cut my knee on a piece of glass, and to-day I ave a pane in my leg."

The Christian end of Marshal Joffre ( says the Paris correspondent of the Dublin "Standard" I has been a happy surprise to the Catholics of France. Although he never displayed any open Marshal hostility towards religion. Toffre was looked upon as a freethinker. He was thought to be a Freemason, and his closest friends belonged to those two political groups. the Radicals and the Socialists, to which we we anti-clerical legislation. However, at his own request, he received the

He was fully conscious when the blessing of the Sovereign Pontiff reached him. This Christian end will contribute not a little to the preservation of his truly Marshal Joffre national character. enters into history in the best possible manner. An anti-Catholic incendiary has been proved guilty of having attempted to destroy by fire St. Patrick's Church, Napier, which escaped destruction by the earthquake, and the school conducted by the Sisters of Our Lady of the Missions, and also the school in Hastings, conducted by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Nazareth. These charges of arson were admitted by Samuel Hazlett, a Napier labourer, in the Police Court. Tip Catholic Church at Napier was fired by this miserable creature on January 3, and the convent at Hastings on January 1. He was committed to the Supreme Court of Wellington for sentence. With• in Vatican City three springs have been discovered, which in an emergency will provide the Papal territory with an independent and adequate water supply. The annual Retreat for the Highgate Children of Mary will commence on Monday evening, March 2, in the Convent Chapel. All members are requested to attend. Father Owen Dudley, novelist, writer, and brilliant English convert, was a recent visitor to Ireland, where he received a very good welcome in Dublin. He lectured in the Theatre Royal in that city before a large audience, which included the Lord Mayor, Father Gannon, S.J., Dr. J. B. Magennis, and Mr. Martin Maguire, K.C., who presided. The subject of the lecture was "Marriage—Holy and Unholy," and the dominant note of it was that "the happiest home is the home that is full of children." Father Dudley described the recent Papal Encyclical as "one of the most terrible condemnations of the world that was ever issued by the Holy See." Father Dudley referred to the fact that there is no divorce law in Ireland, whose law under all governments has never provided for a dissolution of the marriage bond. He condemned the practice of Catholic parents sending their children to Protestant schools. How could, he asked, their religion and morals be safeguarded away from a Catholic school? If the excuse was made that Protestant schools were more efficient, he answered that was merely a fiction. In Eng. land at present thousands of Protestants were sending their children to Catholic schools in preference to Protestant ones. • The • "Kurjer Wilenski" reports the arrival at Stolpce, on the Russo-Polish frontier, of a priest who escaped from the notorious Solowld interment camp. He states that in December there were in the camp twenty Catholic priests from the district of Minsk and Mohylow, who had been arrested for a collective protest lodged by them in connection with the arrest of Bishop Skowronslci. Altogether forty-eight Catholic priests and 425 Russian Orthodox priests were interned at the camp. A • theft was committed last month in Vatican territory, in the house occupied by the mother and sisters of Mgr. Borgongini Duca. Papal Nuncio to Italy, a chalice being stolen. The chalice was among the gifts which the Archbishop received upon his appointment after the conclusion of the Lateran Treaty. While the occupants of the house were out, workmen called to attend to the central heating. The main left them in the room, where they were working for a moment, and soon after they left. On returning home, the family at once noticed the disappearance of the chalice. The police authorities of the Vatican City were im• mediately informed and interrogated the three workmen, one of whom is still detained. His wife, however; has made a statement, which has not been made public, but it is thought that it may lead to the arrest of the thief. In the windows of the Misses Murray's book shop in Hay-street, there are a collection of pictures, in oils and water-colours, that are well worth examination.

HIS HOLINESS POPE l'IUS Nt

y pray that the Lord may lead you ‘ith light and unite you with the flock that hearkens to His voice, so that there may be only one fold and one shepherd." The Pope urged rulers to show justice and charity and their subjects to obey their legitimate rulers, reminding them that to rebel against lawful authority is to resist the Divine will. The rich should remember to hold their wealth in trust, while the poor, in seeking to improve their material lot. should also strive for spiritual wealth. He earnestly besought workers and masters to avoid hostile struggles and mutual competition, and to bind themselves together in brotherly and friendly alliance to realise in the tranquillity of order their common good no less than their own profit. His Holiness concluded by imparting the Apostolic Blessing. Reception in Perth. Reception of the re-broadcast of the Mojal npening of the Vatican City Station was remarkable clear. especially -;ignor Nfarconi's speech. The Pope's address must have been read, because it was much quicker than the Pope's usual deliberate way of speaking. The Latin address was read with that inflection of voice peculiar to Italian speech, and the rise and fall robbed the speech of distinct reception, travelling as it did 11.000 miles from Rome. His Grace the Archbishop listenerl-in, through the courtesy of Harris, Searle and Sandoyers Ltd., who graciously lent sets for the occasion, and expressed himself pleased with the results of this extraordinary innovation. His Grace said that the reception revealed the exact tone of His Holiness' speaking voice.

Desperate efforts are being made to induce the Catholics of Germany to asquiesce in the formation of a coalition Government in which the National Socialists should have a part. These efforts have not met with success, and that they are not likely to meet with success is evident from a speech which has been delivered at Kassel by Dr. Kaas, the leader of the Catholic Party. "If I might be permitted to offer the National Socialists some advice." said Dr. Kees. "I should recommend them to take a holiday from politics. They would be best advised to make the journey 'without -taking a retur ticket. This would be the best way in which they could perform any service to the German people."

Mr. Frank Bowler was initiated as a full benefit member. Members are requested to give special attention to the question of increasing the branch membership. It is only by being a member of the society that one fully realises the advantages to be derived therefrom, and, as a matter ot fact, it is not a question that one cannot financially afford to be a member, hut rather that one cannot afford to be without the benefits which the society offers. The report and balance sheet for the November quarter was submitted to the meeting by the secretary (Bro. Lou flagartyl.

The speakers held the members in wrapt attention, and the unanimous opinion was that this constituted one of tne best syllabus items that the branch had ever made available for the entertainment of its members. The adjudicators congratulated and commended the competitors for their very fine el• forts, and awarded the first place to Sr Leahy. Sr. Leddin was placed second. and Bro. Frank Reader third. Bro. O'Brien presented to St. Leahy the prize of half a guinea, given by Bro. Frank Reader.

The players have worked untiringly to prepare the play, and there is certainly a treat in store for the members. We expect that every member who can possibly do so will be present. and they are invited to bring their friends with them. We also extend an invitation to members of other branches to be present.

Egan. occupied the chair, and presided over a record attendance After the usual formalities were attended to, and a new member proposed, the President congratulated the branch on the grand showing ot members at the quarterly Communion last Sunday, also to Sr. Manton for her work on the banner. It had been the intention of the District Board to be present in order to make a "drive" for new members on that day, but on account of the arrangements to open a new branch at Nedlancls, where their services were required, they were unable to come. The meeting closed and all members adjourned to entertain the large number of members of St. Mary's Branch who arrived in acceptance of a previous invitation. The gentlemen played a game of quoits, the victory going to St. Columba's, the -a-ores being 315 to 219. While the gents. were playing quoits. the ladies were "fighting it out" at table tennis. Although no teams were picked, the games were nevertheless strenuous. At about 10.30 a dainty supper was served. after which the President (Bro. Egaril spoke a few words of the pleasure which the visitors had given them by being present, and hoped that it would be by no means the last. As if in answer to this, Bro. Keith Matters, of St. Mary's. responded, and issued an invitation to members and friends to be present at St. Mary's on Wednesday night. 25th. inst.. to hear a concert.

WORDS OF WISDOM. Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you. All our happiness depends upon our detachment from ourselves; and in this, if it be perfect, consists everything. There is only one kind of wound at all that is to be feared, and that is when the mind is wounded by giving consent to sin. Nothing will give a secure foundation for the spiritual life except abiding sorrow for sin. "When I get time." is an expression used only by those who do not appreciate what time is. Love cannot be idle: he who loves God cannot live without giving Him continual marks of affection. The ejaculatory prayers which are most pleasing to God are acts of love, resignation, and offering of one's self. I know that you are afflicted at my absence, but love and obedience will dissipate your grief —St. Catherine of Siena. Good intentions which evaporate in words are like air bubbles and just as useless. Sorrow, borne with resentment and bitterness, isolates the soul not only from God but from her own fellows. The value of acts of virtue, love. hope, resignation, and contrition do not consist in the sentiment, but in the will.

rather than by shameless brevity or immodest tenuity. Many men reduce their married life routine, prosaic to a dead level of which is painful for their wives, to whom the glamour of romance means as much after as before marriage. The humdrum husband who ceases to be a lover cannot expect his wife to be other than unhappy. After a talk with Our Lord during a visit to the Blessed Sacrament, we go away with more charity in our hearts, we face our work and our duties with increased courage, and altogether we feel that life is much more worth while. The ponderous outward respectability of the middle-aged often masks colossal hypocrisy. God in a workman's jacket is not an irreverent description of Our Lord's life at Nazareth.

A CARDINAL'S WORDS OF WISDOM.

HOME, SWEET HOME MY MOTHERS ROSARY. My mother's eyes, like Irish skies, Were blue and sweet and clear; Her hair the shade that nature dyes The woods when winter's near. Her fingers, like the lily pale, Lacked strength for mighty deeds, But graces that will still avail Came from her rosary beads. her when the morning light mind I Lay on her features fair: I mind her when the turf fire bright Shone round her old armchair; And while I knelt, with bended brow, She told of Her who pleads, And joined my hands and taught me how To count my rosary beads. I mind her when, one morning grey, Before the spring had come, She quietly passed from us away— With pain my lips were dumb. The eyes I closed had always seen Her offspring's wants and needs, And fingers cold still held between Her cross and rosary beads. Oft when I kneel a shrine before Though sacred be the place, They come again those scenes of yore, 01 life's sweet dawning grace; And when they speak of souls in bliss And saint who intercedes, I think of her and fondly kiss My own brown rosary beads. —S.M., in the "Salesian Bulletin."

THE RECORD.

phets, and the wicked enemy will fly from yon. The servant of God often profits much by suffering such things. For the Devil does not tempt unbelievers and sinners, whom he already holds securely; but he tempts and harasses devout believers in various ways. —The Imitation. -SAY LITTLE PRAYERS OFTEN. Pray always, not merely at stated times, and have a stock of ejaculatory prayers to be said often during the day. These should be adapted to the end you have in view, and to the various circumstances in which you are placed.—Antonio Rosrnini. THE RIGHT ATTrrunE. Charity bears all in a spirit of love Be on your guard against melancholy and fretfulness: put the best possible interpretations on actions. Look upon them as the consecrated souls of the Son of God. esteem yourself very little and below them all —St. Jane Frances.

Words of wisdom culled (by the N.C.W.C. News Service) from the latest volume of sermons and addresses of Cardinal O'Connell, Archbishop of Boston: If you want to know your friends, make a mistake. A firm superior gets things done quickly. A gentle one gets them well done. Do the good you can, then forget it. Others will remember it for you. If the villain of the modern play would only strangle the author instead of the heroine, he would earn his ap plause. The real priest weeps at another's sin. The Pharisee draws a long face and peddles the scandal. A true critic looks for good qualities. An unjust one is blind to everything but defects. The richest man is one who needs a little. Watch ambition—it is a leaping horse which may land you in the ditch. When your enemy rages, smile and hear him stammer. The social cliMber enters by the back stairs and goes out by the front ones. And— Forgive and forget. The first helps your soul, the second your liver.

Aunt Bessy's Corner

DEAR NIECES AND NEPHEWS,— I wonder if the Cornerites are forget. ting the "Bushies." I am afraid they are not keeping the cause in mind. In a new magazine for children, called "Youth,- I came across these words: "I will love my country, and work for it with all my might, and obey its laws." Suppose we take a little lite erty with the lines and transpose them to read: "I will love my Faith, and work for it with all my might, and obey its laws.' Now, if we love our Faith, we will work for it, and make part of our work the "Busbies." No more lectures; we will pass on to other subjects. Some of the boys and girls are sending in riddles and puzzles, and the words thank you are given to them. Do not make your contributions too lengthy, and, if not original, please give the name of the author. In other words, make them short and very interesting, or "short and snappy." but the main thing is not be forget to send them in. AUNT BESSY.

THE BOOK OF KELLS

Interesting Facts in an American Paper Writing in the "Plain Dealer," Miss Grace V. Kelly says:— The Gutenberg Bible may be the most beautiful printed book known to mankind, but still the Book of Kells remains the most beautiful book, with no qualifying adjective. For, after all, work done by the hand of man, with inspiration flowing from the soul to the finger tips, has it all over work into which mechanical processes enter, be it ever so perfect. The John G. White Collection has a facsimile of the Book of Kells, very beautiful and distinguished, but still a faint echo of the glorious volume which lies forever beneath protecting glass in the Library of Trinity College, with a page turned every day in the year, so that if you stick around long enough you can see it all—or nearly all, for I have not heard of any visitor who has seen one page that they tell of, and which they probable never turn. The story of this page dates back to the visit of Queen Victoria, who visited Ireland after ruling it for 50 years. The story goes that the Irish were polite and showed her around, not neglecting Trinity College and its library. They even took the Book of Kells out of its case and let her have it in her hands, and she—mistaking it for a visitors' Wirra. book—wrote her name in it. wirra! The Book of Kells, paying the pen.alty of possession of utter beauty„ has plenty of stark tragedy in its history, but no greater tragedy than this. Even when Gene Tunney visited it, almost with a brass band, in the sum. mer of 1928, and stamped it with his approval, the injury was not quite so overwhelming. For the stamp was but a mental one, and nothing physical happened to the book on that occasion. But I, remembering how I sneaked up the day before to worship it silently and humbly and with no interfering explanations from the guides, felt that Tunney had taken a liberty with the blessed book with his ostentatious apFor I have noticed that he proval. approves what is already so thoroughly approved that he is in no danger of uttering mistaken judgments.

It may have been written and illuminat-

ed there, but nothing is known of this, for the monastery has long since been completely destroyed, and the last pages of the manuscript, which probably carried information as to the scribe, illuminator, and places of origin, have been missing for many years. According to the "Annals of the Four Masters," the Book, in its cover of gold, studded with precious stones, was stolen in the year 1006, and found- months later—under sods, stripped .4 its handsome binding. Doubtless, the missing leaves were torn away at that time. In 1539, when the monasteries of Great Britain were dissolved by Henry VIII., Richard Plunkett, the last abbot of Kells, surrendered the monastery and its possessions to the Crown, but the Book—the greatest treasure of all —was saved from the tyrant and passed into the guardianship of Gerald Plunkett, of Dublin, kinsman of the He wrote some notes in it, abbot. dated 1568, and later it went into the library of Archbishop James Ussher, of the Church of England, author of a long accepted scheme of Biblical chronology, for many years printed in the margin of Bibles, according to which the world was created in 4001 B.C. The Archbishop wrote some notes in the book in 1641. He died in 1641, and in 1661 the Book, with the rest of his library, came into the possession of Trinity College. As it exists now, the Book has 339 leaves of vellum, 13 by 94. inches. While in the possession of the Archbishop the Book was handed over to an ignorant bookbinder, and many fine illustrations and ornaments cut away to fit his idea,of a binding. What beauty it had in the beginning staggers speculations, since, with all the mutilations it has suffered, it is still the most beautiful book in the world. And this in spite of the fact that the illuminator has not bedazzled our senses with embellishments of silver and gold, but has relied entirely upon the beauty of his woven line, the meaning of his forms, and the perfect baalnce of his muted colours for his effect. Perfect taste is in it, and reserve, and the quiet ardour of a secure faith, which sought expression but needed no blatant emphasis. It is a complete expression of a people who accept a new faith, after conference and discussion, and not after an orgy of martyrdom.

Irish Bishop on Secondary Education Ihe Most Rev. Dr. Morrisroe, Bishop of Achonry, speaking at the conferring of prizes of the Diocesan College at Ballaghadereen, endorsed the views of Canon Plaine, the President of the College, that the results of the secondary schools at the certificate examinations should be made known and easily Parents in accessible to the public. choosing a school should be better able than at present to estimate the results, and make their choice with knowledge. At the examinations held last June, the College entered 16 students for the Leaving Certificate. Of these 14 pass ed and 12 obtained honours, so that the College came sixth of all the schools in the State on the honours list. and first among the Diocesan ColSixteen boys passed the Matleges. riculation Examination of the National University. The Bishop said that one was inclined to wonder at. the motive which could lead to the anxiety to camouflage the necessary knowledge by parents of the merits of the schools. To form art accurate judgment it was necessary to know more facts than were generally supplied. ''There will." said his Lordship, "be a general con-

sensus of opinion that a genuine scheme of secondary education, especially when it is supposed to lead to the University, should comprise at least one of the classical languages. Schools, however, which take neither a classical nor a Romance language are classified with others that take not only Latin and Greek, but some of the modem languages also."

The Declining Population of Ireland

Dublin's Gift to the Pope

The population figures of the Free State are far from satisfactory, writes the Dublin correspondent of the "UniThey show a continued deverse." crease in the population, notwithstanding a steady decrease in emigration. The last Census was in 1926, and since then there has been a drop of 26,000. The year 1929 showed a drop of 3,000 The births, numon the year 1928. bering 58,280, make the lowest ever recorded in the Free State in a year. The rate, which for the period 1911-15 was 22.49 per thousand of the population, has fallen to 19.78. The excess of births over deaths has similarly But it is still sufficiently large fallen to show a natural increase in the population, if it were not for emigration. Yet it is gratifying to be able to say that emigration is decreasing, and in 1929 was the lowest figure recorded, amounting to 18,145, as against an average between 1911 and 1926 of 26,946. It is nowadays by no means so easy as it used to be to get to the United States. And the attraction of America is so much less powerful than formerly that the emigrants have not reached the quota number that the United States was willing to admit. The birth rate fell because there The number were fewer marriages. of marriages registered was 13,593, being 377 under the average for the previous ten years. The most heartening feature of a gloomy return is the steady decrease in the mortality from tuberculosis. the death rate from which is 1,32 per thousand, as against 1.37 in 1928 and 1 55 in the previous ter. years. Of the 13,593 marriages, 12,670 were of Catholics.

In regard to character formation, his Lordship advised the boys to get hold of the proper Catholic outlook on life and stick to it through thick and thin. "If any of you," added the Bishop, "become statesmen don't always play for safety, because such a game is unworthy of honourable men, since risks must inevitably be taken on occasions. When your conscience is properly formed, follow its dictates and you will be safe. People in high positions who play fast and loose with Catholic principles, and fear to follow truth through dread of incurring the imputations of cectarianism, will sooner or later feel that cowardice of this sort will not meet with commendation from a people who sacrificed their all on the altar of religious conviction."

Not in Favour of Prohibition There is in the Free State no party which favours Prohibition. says the Dublin correspondent of the "Universe." But in the North there is a very vocal party under the leadership of Protestant clergymen which is prepared to follow America's example in the hope that it may better America's practice. This fact gives special point to the recent address delivered by Father Gannon,.
