The Pope's Encyclical on Christian Marriage AN INDISSOLUBLE TIE AND A DIVINE ORDINANCE
His Holiness emphasises that Christian marriage is a Divine ordinance, and, therefore, indissoluble in the interests not only of the parents themselves, b • ut of the children also:— "And as a prelude to this Encyclical, which aims solely at vindicating the divine institution, the Sacramental dignity and the perpetual indissolubility of marriage, let Us first lay down this unshaken and unshakeable principle: that matrimony was not instituted by men but by God; not by men but by God, the author of nature, and by Jesus Christ, the Redeemer of the same nature, was it protected by laws and strengthened and ennobled; these laws consequently cannot be made subject to any human judgment or to any contrary pact even by the spouses themselves. "This is the doctrine of Sacred Scripture, this is the constant and universal tradition of the Church, this the solemn definition of the Council Trent, of which proclaims and confirms with the very words of Scritpure that the perpetuity and indissolubility of the marriage bond and its stability and unity have their origin in God the Creator."
marked by the stamp of chastity in such a way that the spouses bear themselves in all things according to the laws of God and of nature, and should study always to carry out with great reverence for the work of God the all-wise and all-holy will of the Creator." Next, the Holy Father considers the question of wifely obedience. This subjection of the wife to the husband "does not deny or take away the liberty which fully belongs to the woman both in view of her dignity as a human being and in view of her most noble office as wife and mother and companion." But it does exclude that "exaggerated licence which is not for the good of the family." and, further it forbids that "in this body which is the family the heart be separated from the head to the great., detriment of the whole body and the proximate danger of ruin."
amorous and frivilous novels, by einematographs portraying vivid scenes, by addresses broadcast by radio-telephone, in short, by all the inventions of modern times the sanctity of marriage is trampled upon and derided; divorce, adultery, and the basese vices are extolled or depicted in such colours as to be free from all reproach and infamy. . "The doctrines defended . . . . are offered for sale as the productions of a genius which is thought to have emancipated itself from all the old-fashioneo and immature opinions of the ancients; and to the number of those antiquated opinions is relegated the traditional doctrine of Christian marriage. The Temporisers. "Not all the sponsors of these new doctrines are carried to the extreme of unbridled lust; there are this' who, s triving, as it were, to ride a middle course, believe, nevertheless, that something should be conceded in our, time as regards certain precepts of the Div. inc and natural law. But these likewise. more •sr less -wittingly, are emissaries of the great enemy, who is ever seeking to sow tares among the wheat. "We, therefore, whom the Father has appointed over Ills field, We who are bound by Our most holy office to takt care lest the good seed be choked by the weeds, believe it fitting to apply to Ourselves the most grave words of the Holy Ghost with which the Apostle Paul exhorted his beloved Timothy: •Be thim vigilant . . fulfil thy ministry . . preach the word, be instant in season, out of season, reprove, entreat, rebuke in all patience and doc. trine.' "
strung passage from Augustine, the Pope calls in such eases the woman "a mere mistress of her husband," and the man "a paramour of his wife." "We must also consider," he says, that other grave crime by which an attack is made upon the life of the child while still in its mother's womb. Some regard this as lawful, leaving it to the decision of the father or mother. Others regard is as forbidden, except in a case of grave reasons which they call medical, social or eugenic requirements, and they wish legal sanctions to be suspended in favour of those requirements. "We have already said how great is Our compassion for the mother who, in the course of nature, finds herself exposed to serious risks to health or life. But what consideration can be sufficiently strong to excuse under any circumstances the direct killing of an innocent person, for we are dealing direct' with the Commandment, 'Thou shalt not kill.' "Whether it be a question of the life of the mother or of the life of the child, it is equally against the ci anmandment of God and the voice of nature itself: 'Thou shalt not kill ( Exodus 20, 12). And in fact, the life of both one all(I the other is equally sacred, and no power can be conceded e ven to public authority to destroy that life."

"The maternal love and foresight of tke Church dissuade the faithful for very grave reasons from mixed marriages, as can be seen in that Canon of her code of Canon Law where we read: 'The Church forbids everywhere and with all severity the marriage of two baptised persons, one of whom is a Catholic and the other belongs to a heretical or schismatical sect; if there is danger of the perversion of the Catholic spouse or of the offspring the marriage is forbidden by Divine law' (Codex. Canon 1060). Effect Upon the Offspring. "And even when the Church is induced by consideration of the circumstances of times, of persons or things to grant a dispensation from these severe laws (with due reservations for the Divine law and with due safeguards and guarantees in so far as pos. sage against the dangers of perversion). the Catholic spouse can scarcely avoid incurring injuries by such a mar"As a matter of fact, it happens not rarely that there is a lamentable defect in the religious training of the offspring, who easily lapse into religious indifference only a step removed from unbelief and impiety. Moreover, in those miXed marriages it is much more difficult to attain that vital union ca souls which should show forth the mystery already referred to, that is, the hidden union of the Church with Christ. "In fact, it usually happens that this union of heart is destroyed, or at least weakened, where there is a difference of mind and of heart in those lofty and sublime things venerated by man, that is, religious beliefs and sentiments. Hence the danger that the love of the spouses may languish, and that the peace of the family, which springs mainly from the union of hearts, may be laid in ruins. Hence it was that, many centuries ago, the ancient Roman Law defined matrimony as 'the union of man and woman in lifelong consort and in the communion of human and Divine law" IModestius in Dig. De Ritu NuptiarChoice of a Partner. Haying emphasised anew the Church's standpoint upon the indissolubility of wedlock and the evils of divorce, and after insisting that all true followers of Christ should be guided in all matters that touch upon faith or morals by the Holy Church of God speaking through its supreme pastor, namely, the Roman Pontiff, the Encyclical gives advice of the due preparation that must be made by parties contemplating marriage. The greatest care should be exercised in the choice of a partner in order that the sorrows arising from an indiscreet marriage may be avoided. The parties must keep in mind the thought of God, of Christian religion, of themselves, of their partner, of the children to come, and of human and civil society. They should not omit to ask prudent advice of their parents. Some of the difficulties of the married state. the Encyclical states, are due to mistaken circumstances. To reduce these dangers the contracting parties themselves should make every e ffort. Where they are not self-supporting help should be provided by public or private guilds.

The State should play its part where there are insufficient dwelling-houses, where there is unemployment where living is costly, and where the mother is forced to go out to work. State-aid cannot be neglected without possible hann to the commonwealth. Unfortunately. nowadays, the Pope states, through a certain inversion of the true order of things, assistance is often provided for the unmarried soother and her illegitimate offspring which was denied to legitimate offspring Finally. the Pope pleads for the cooperation of the religious and civil powers in such great questions, and points as a happy example to the provision of a Concordat between the Holy See and the Italian Government whereby the Sacrament of Matrimony was recognised as having in civil law all the effects attriubted to it in Canon Law.

Hobart Club: Walsh (capt.), Lightly, Reid, Hoffman, Ryan, Wilkinson, Emmett, Larcombe, Blake, Woods, Barrett. The Play. Shea won the toss and took B. Buz. zard with hint to open the innings. They started well, but Buzzard called Shea for a short run, and had him run out Arthur now came after scoring 10. in, but met with no better success, being run out when trying a short run. The score was now 2-0-15. McLeod followed and batted very carefully for two overs, when he was out 1.b.w. to Emmett for one run. O'Shaughnessy now came to the wicket, and stopped the rot. He did just as he liked with the bowling during his innings of 40, the highest score for his team. He hit two beautiful sixers, and he and Buzzard took the score to 78 before he was caught by Woods off Reid's bowling. Brown now joined Buzzard, but did not show his old confidence. He was bowled by Wilkinson after scoring 3. Lyons came next, and started to bat very nicely, but fresh calamity Buzzard, was to befall the College. who had given a fine display, tried to lift one from Wilkinson, but mishit it and was caught in the long field by Ryan followed, and settled Walsh. down to nice, steady batting, but Lyons, who was now 6, was bowled by The score was 8-8-98.

Lightly and Barrett opened the innings for Hobart, the formed taking strike to O'Shaughnessy, who bowled from the river end. After playing the first two balls, he was struck on the finger with the third, and although he attempted to bat on. had to retire. Reid came in next, and the pair played carefully. Ryan. bowling from the College end, kept the batsmen quiet, Barrett failing to score off him. O'Shaughnessy, in his second over, got Reid caught by Lyons at third slips. the scores being 1-2-8. This did not look too good for Hobart, but Barrett was batting very nicely and looked like getting a score. Hoffman, at the other end, was very shaky, and after getting 2 was run out. Ryan now came in, and at once settled down to solid batting. He and Barrett looked like making a good stand, when the latter lifted a ball from Shea, and was caught in the outfield by O'Shaughnessy, who was fielding well. Wilkinson replaced him, and at once began to score freely. He and Ryan were both playing very nicely, although the latter should have been run out twice, but B. Buzzard at square leg was very slow in his returns. These two batsmen carried the score to 59 before Ryan was bowled by O'Shaughnessy T hy score was now 4-25-59. Emmett followed, and after contributing 7, was caught by Arthur off Genoni's bowling. Larcombe, the hitter of the side. was caught on the boundary by Arthur off the same bowler after scoring 2 Woods, the next man in. settled down s traight away, and with Wilkinson. who had given a perfect display of batting, carried the score to 114, when the first -named was bowled by Shea for 12.

CLUNE, Archbishop of Perth, --- THE STANDARD. OF SERVICE. When we study the life of Christ, when we descend beneath the surface, when we place that Divine Heart before our u yeti, then there are sepecially three characteristics of that charity of Christ that are manifest. In the first place it appears that the love of Christ for mankind was a supernatural love. Further, as we turn over the pages td the Holy Gospel and analyse that love of Christ, we behold His love for man. kind was a practical love: and then as that beautiful life draws to a close, and we trace the reddened footsteps of the Saviour and ascend to dip Mount of Calvary. as the blood came trickling down upon us. we behold that the love of Chriet for mankind was a sacrificing love. Our love and service to mankind. like His, must be Atli-sacrificing. Such was the love of service of Francis Xavier, who had the courage to pass his ancestral castle in Spain. without paying it a visit, in order to go out, never to return, to the great untaught realms of the world and consume his life in the quest of souls. Such was the love of St. Vincent de Paul, which made him attend to and nurse and become a slave to the poor leper in his house of St. Lazare in Such was the love of Father Paris. Damien that he should go to the Islands of the Pacific and become a Such is the leper with the lepers. standard of Catholic service—such is the high call of its charity G. E.

fucharistic Congress
PREVIOUS INTERNATIONAL EUCHARISTIC CONGRESSES. I Alle, Avignon, Liege. The First Congress, at Lille, was held on June 28th-30th . 1881. just fifteen days after an iniquitous law had been made in France banishing religious inntruction from the schools. As if to protest against such persecution, the sessions of the Congress were held in the halls of the Catholic University founded to guard against such a contingency. Great fervour and endeavour marked the first Congress. In its triumphant close was foreshadowed the future glory of the social reign of Christ in the Eucharist. Here at Lille, by the efforts of M Vrau, the permanent headquarters of the movement were set up. and a Per. manent Committee formed, with Mgr. r e Ia Bouillerie. Coadjutor Bishop of Bordeaux. as President. and M. fluetaye Champenttx as Secretary. At Lille the headquarters of the movement remained for more than thirty years.

A beautiful tulle veil, daintily appliqued with silver lace, was held in place by a coronet of orange blossom. The veil formed a train effect, and a sheaf of white carnations and fern was carried. The two bridesmaids, Nfisses Grace Taylor and Mary Ochiltree, were frocked alike in salmon pink georgette, semi-flared with tiny frills from waist to ankle. Sheaves of pink carnations and ferns were carried. Mr. W. Broderick carried out the duties of best man, and Mr. J. Moss acted as groomsman. The bride's mother, Mrs. Carroll, received her guests in a frock of nigger-brown crepe de chene, with hat to tone. Mrs. Ochiltree, who as. sisted in receiving the guests, wore a smart frock of black satin, relieved with touches of white.

There will still be trays to tempt us out, but the warm week-ends suitable for baach or hills are vanishing until next summer. It is time now to be considering the winter frocks, for dull and cold days appear to be looming in the near future. Nothing is so practical as a coat of warm, yet light-weight woollen material, and it can he worn over any frock, if it is well cut. One point to be kept in mind is that a coat requires tp be fairly ample, and not to give any appearance of tightness. Have any of my readers chanced see the new colour? It is hard to give a name to it. It is neither rose nor red; neither peach, prune, strawberry, nor yet "pour tant." It reflects more the tone of a strawberry that is not yet ripe. It is really an enticing shade for fair maidens or young matrons, but does not act in too kind a manner to the more mature figure. The modern woman seems to be charmed with anything that will give an Eastern touch to her frocks, and beige lends itself atb mirably to touches of bizarre colouring. A gentle whisper is to be heard that winter dresses are reverting to the short side again, and as winter is a time of rain and mud, the idea of shortness is very sensible. Nothing looks worse than a long, bedraggled wet, muddy skirt, so short skirts are desirable, and for a practical costume suitable for walking, a pleated skirt will give the necessary fullness and freedom required.

In the Peace and for the Peace of Christ POPE'S CALL TO LAITY. "It is absolutely impossible that the nations should possess and enjoy that tranquillity of order and liberty which is the essence of peace as long as from within and without there are threats and dangers which are not met with proper. measures of defence. It is certain that such threats and dangers are inseparable from the anti-social and anti-religious propaganda; but it is not by material measures of defence alone that they can be repelled and conquered." So the Holy Father said in his New Year address to the members of the On the peace College of Cardinals. which the world and the individual need, the conditions essential to its attainment, those which imperil it, and the part Catholics are called upon to play in securing it for themselves and others. the Holy Father said, in part: "Catholics are called not merely to a larger and more perfect enjoyment of the peace of Christ, but also to strengthen and to spread the Kingdom of Christ, and to spread and cons date His peace, and this by means of the many-sided apostolate of the seasonable word, good works, and prayer, so easy for all and so powerful, nay, omnipotent. with God. "Here, then, is a vast and magnificent field for all the Catholic laity, too, whom we do not cease to invite and to call to participate in the apostolic work of the hierarchy. And it is to the Catholics of all the world, and principally to those who study, work and pray for Catholic Action, that We today send this warm invitation and call. "Let them all unite in the peace and for the peace of Christ, in full harmony of thoughts and feelings, of desires and prayers of work and word— spoken word, written word, printed word—which will produce a warm and salutary atmosphere of true peace that will envelop the whole world. ''But it must be the peace of Christ and not merely a sentimental, confused and indiscreet pacifism; because that alone is true peace comes from God and which has the essential and indispensable characteristics and the precious prints of true peace. "The peace of Christ surpasses all understanding, and it is a rave mistake to believe that true and lasting peace can reign amongst men and peoples as long as they seek primarily, principally and most eagerly materrar and earthly things, which, because they are finite, can scarcely suffice for all, even if no one should desire to take the lion's share (a large assumption), and it must follow of necessity that the greater the number of those who seek them the smaller will be the portion for each; consequently those earthly things are inevitably a source of cupidity- and strife, of discord an opposition. "It is extremely difficult for internal peace of mind and heart to exist and to last amongst citizens and classes of society if there are strong motives for opposition between citizens and classes by reason of the unequal distribution and unequal proportion of advantages and burdens, of rights and duties, of distribution of wealth, management. and labour, and of the share in those profits which can only be produced by friendly co-operation. "It is more difficult, not to say impossible, that peace should last amongst peoples and States if. in place of true and genuine love of country. there should reign and be diffused an egoistic which nationalism, and unbending means hatred and envy in place of a mutual desire for good, distrust and suspicion in place of fraternal confidence, competition and strife in place of harmonious co-operation, ambitions for hegemony and pre-eminence in place of respect for and protection of the rights of all, including those of the weak and small."

THE RECORD.
How the U.S.A. Received Papal Encyclical Warm Tributes td the Pope's Uncompromising Words (From N.C,W.C. News Service.) The transmission of the Holy Father's Encyclical on marriage from Vatican City to New York was remarkably acThe 20,891 words were sent curate. by cable and radio. Only twelve possible mistakes were detected, and confirmation or correction was at once This record-breaksecured by cable. ing dispatch was relayed by the cable and radio receiving offices in New York to another part of the city, where it was received on four high-speed automatic printing telegraph circuits, each capable of coping with sixty words a Approximately six hours minute. elapsed between the printing of tru, first and last words on the automatic machines in the receiving office. When the N.C.W.C. News Service heard that the Encyclical was about to be published it undertook to have it cabled for the Catholic newspapers in the United States. It was-learned later that the Associated Press was making similar arrangements and, to avoid duplicated expense on the same message, the two agencies combined. Comments. Commenting upon the EncycliCal. the "New York Times"—which printed it in full—stated: "What he (the Pope) has to say about the historic doctrine of his Church on the subject of marriage, with special reference to proposed modifications of it under modern conditions, will be read with
the keenest interest by the clergy of the other churches, and must be considered of great importance even by those who do not belong to his faith and order, who are whole-heartedly devoted to the betterment of family life, and especially to surrounding well-born children with the best aids possible, but who will be eager to know the judgment of His Holiness." The "Philadelphia Public Ledger" said the Encyclical "sums up those teachings and those experiences concerning marriage and the home that have so powerfully influenced Western The civilisation for centuries. . . . Encyclical . . . will profoundly affect the thinking of millions in the Western w orld." "He Saws What He Meant." Arthur Brisbane, the most famous "columnist" in American daily journalism, paid tribute to the uncompromisWill ing terms of the Encyclical. Rogers. the "humorist-philosopher," who also writes a column read by millions every day, declared: "I don't care what your religion is, what your belief is. what your opinion on various humanitarian questions: individuals. and political parties especiat ly. can learn much from the Pope of the great Catholic Church. When you read what he says you don't have to start wondering, or ask your neighbour what he meant, he says what he meant."

PERTH. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1931.
The Catholic Church and Birth-Control Between the moral and intellectual life of men there is an intimate communion. Our moral decisions are regulated by our intellectual convictions, and if these latter prove false, then our moral calibre will be deficient. If our day was either logical or radical, moral decisions would cause but small worry, for then they would proceed from a metaphysical background studded with principles infallibly true. This, however, is not the case. Modern ethics is sadly afflicted with a disastrous nearsightedness. Its vision extends only to that which lies immediately before its eyes. Mist vital moral decisions are made without any reference to the ultimate truths by which they ought to be dictated. The most outstanding of these recent decisions—and when we say outstanding, we mean the one which affects most the individual and social life of the nation—is that bearing the imprimatur of a "courageous" clergy and a degenerate society: promulgated by a host of devoted adherents, who spare no energy, who are frightened at no obstacle, whose God is Materialism, whose desire is Lust. Within the next few years a fierce battle will centre round these issues which involve basic human rights and bear directly on the dignity of human personality. In the coining crisis, both to render themselves immune from contamination and to set others right. Catholics must be well informed. This is our reason for speaking on topics which we would have preferred to ignore. We treat of them to counteract the poisonous effects of a too liberal publication. • • Birth control is futile for the end desired. Its advocates want the race thinned out. The world is over-populated, professions overstocked. They speak with blissful ignorance of the economic history of nations. Had the world no economic problems with half its present population? it has yet to be proved that numbers solve this particular problem. The world is suffering from many evils, but a superabundance of children is not one of them. Our ultra-moderns paint lurid pictures of swarms of children in what they call the slums, undeveloped, undesirable, and "unfit." and with the cry of "fewer children, better children," prescribe the remedy of birth prevention. What this standard of fitness is, or who gave them the right to fix one, we do not know. But one thing we know, that the trouble is not with the children or with the parents, but with the inhuman economic and social conditions in which they are condemned to live. Let these he remedied, and leave Nature alone, and there will be room enough to callable all to live a reasonable human life. No! Birth-control is no solution for our social difficulties. At best it offers us but sorry makeshifts and temporary palliatives. which leave our evils substantially untouched. It substitutes social expediency for the moral law. Such an evasion will bring its penalties. setting Nature's law aside and substituting reasons of expediency, carnal prudence sacrifices the future to the present, a procedure that involves a hazardous policy that will terminate in mural bankruptcy. In a word: The evasion or violation of the natural law, which is the basic fundament of all human law, can never lead to the soltition of our social problems. • Birth-control is vetoed by a law indelibly inscribed in men's hearts—the law of nature. Marriage was instituted lw the Creator for the purpose of procreation. The marriage right is intended to be used for that purpose. To use some unnatural means of preventing conception is to frustrate that purpose and defeat a natural end. it is the deliberate misuse of a power implanted in man by nature. and employing it in order to frustrate the end for which it was bestowed. There could be no more direct and unequivocal violation of nature than this. it is the complete perversion of nature's purposes and needs. It is verily and indeed prevention, prevention of the fulfillment of the designs of God. It is. therefore, intrinsically vicious—morally had. • C' Against this teaching of the Catholic Church many have raised their voices, and some—the leaders of the blind—have col-

emnly declared another doctrine. In doing t.), their only reason was the universality of the vice in question, and because it was rampant in society, they pronounced it lawful. ‘Ve do not envy their criterion of truth. They have made doctrine subservient to passion. In them have the words of Christ been verified: "If the blind lead the blind, they must both fall into the pit." They have fallen a good way down, we fear, and members of their own household are sand-bagging the only exit. • • We know that many specious arguments are assigned by the advocates of birth-control for its moral justification. But there is no practice for which men are not ready to find a reason so long as the practice in question enlists their passions in its favour. In his recent Encyclical on Marriage, "Casti Connubii," our Holy Father, Pius XI., having considered all the reasons in favour of the moral justification of birth-control, adds: "But no reason, however grave, can be put forward by which anything intrinsically against nature may become conformable to nature and morally good. Since, therefore, the conjugal act is destined primarily by nature for the begetting of children, those who, exercising it deliberately, frustrate its natural power and purpose, sin against nature and commit a deed which is shameful and intrinsically vicious. Small wonder, therefore, if Holy Writ bears witness that the Divine Majesty regards with greatest detestation this horrible crime, and at times has punished it with death, as St. Augustine notes. Onan. the on of Juda, did this, and the Lord killed him for it." • • This is the doctrine of the Catholic Church—unchanging. unchangeable. We are well aware that in particular cases it may entail an amount of sacrifice. But the same law runs through the whole of the religion of Jesus Christ. the law of struggle and of sacrifice; married or single. "through many tribulations we must enter into the Kingdom of God." In all these hardships. however, God has not left us without a helping hand. He bestows His grace abundantl - upon us. Nature may be weak. but Grace is strong. It perfects Ind elevates nature and makes'it capable of heroic acts of virtue. And the virtue of conjugal chastity, that beautiful ornament of the state of wedlock, will never be wanting to those who earnestly seek and pray for it. —W. K. meditation.

His Urace toe Archbishop will con duct the ceremony of Reception and Profession at St. John of God's Hospital. Subiaco, on Sunday, March 8th. His Grace the Archbishop will formally open the new Convent School at Nedlands to-morrow, Sunday, at 3.30 p.m. The Loreto Sisters, who will be in charge, are bearing the financial responsibility of building and equipping the school, and in this day of high interest rates, the burden is a heavy one. It is to be hoped that the parishioners of Nedlands, who have now a Catholic school in their own parish. will help by their presence and their generosity the Loreto Sisters to meet the heavy debt incurred. The schooi is situated at Webster-street, Nedlands On the "Orama," due Tuesday next, His Grace the Archbishop of Adelaide, Dr. Spence. 0.P., and his Lordship the Bishop of Ballarat, Dr. Foley, are returning from their ad limina visit to Rome. Both prelates were present at the opening of St. Mary's Cathedral last May. The Rev. Father O'Connor, of Cottesloe, is at present in St. John of God Hospital, Subiaco, where he underwent a slight operation recently.

HOLY FAMILY RETREAT. The Retreat at the Monastery Church, which commenced last Sundae night, has been very well attended during the week. Whenever there is anything to be had concerning the Kingdom of Heaven, we are accustomed to see women making an honest bid for it. But Sunday night, at the Monastery Church. was an exception Spiritual favours were generously dispensed by Fathers Mitchell and Cog. grave, C.SS....and not one woman was -there to receive them.

It 'was a treat to see hundreds Ail men filling the church, and to heat their manly voices answering the Rosary, and singing -Hail Queen of Heayen," "To Jesus Heart All Burning,' and "Faith of Our Fathers," as well as the Benediction Hymns. As a result of the Retreat, it o. hoped a strong branch of the Holy Family Confraternity will be established. Already a dozen beautiful Section Shields have been erected in the church, three for each parish bordering on the Monastery, and each group headed by its parish Patron. In this way the men accustomed to receive Holy Communion in Highgate Hill are expected to join one or other of the three sections allotted to them, viz.. "The Sacred Heart of Jesus," "St. Peter," or "St. Paul," whichever they choose. In the same way, men from Leederville have their choice between "Our Lady of Perpetual Succour," "St Joseph," and "The Little Flower of Jesus." Men from West Perth have their choice between the three greatest of the Irish Saints—"St. Brigid," "St. And Patrick," and "St. Columba." the men living close to the Monastery have their choice between the three Redemptorist Saints—"St. Alphonsus."St. Clement," and "St. Gerard." Those attending the Retreat are expected to receive Holy Communion (Sunday) in whatever to-morrow church they usually attend. The Retreat will come to a close tomorrow (Sunday) night, with the blessing of our Holy Father the Pope Then, on the following Friday night, the first meeting of the Confraternity proper will take place. Father Robinson. C.SS.R., has been appointed its first Director. For some time he has been looking around for suit& le young men to assist him in the government of the Confraternity as secretaries, prefects, sub-prefects, and orderlies. He has been fortunate in securing the services of a splendid body of prefects and sub-prefects. But the most responsible office of all—that of Secretary—is still vacant. Will two good young men kindly come forward and volunteer their services as Secretary and Assistant Secretary? God will generously reward everything done for Him
From the Vatican City State T he 'Universe Correspondent reports that "the use of the title of 'Excellency,' which was given by right to some few prelates of the Papal Court and by courtesy to Archbishops and Bishops, has now been regulated definitely by a Decree of the S. Congregation of the Ceremonial. The title is now to be given to Patriarchs (who already had it), Archbishops and Bishops, whether residential or titular, to all the Assessors (Oriental, Consistorial, Holy Office) and Secretaries (Propaganda, Religious, Council, Rites, Sacraments) of the Congregations, to the Secretary of the Segnatura Apostolica. to the Dean of the Sacred Roman Rota, and the Substitute Secretary of State. Besides the above-mentioned those who already enjoyed the title of "Excellency retain it. They are the Maestro di Camera of His Holiness, the Vice Camerlengo of the Holy Roman Church ( Prince Ugo Boncompagni Ludovisi). the Majordomo, the Auditor of S. Camera Apostolica and a few others. All Nuncios and Apostolic Delegates enjoy the title of "Excellency." In connection with this granting of the title of "Excellency" to the Assessors and Secretaries of the Roman Congregations. it is rumoured that they may soon be all raised to Episcopal dignity. Even in the past it has often happened that the Assessors and Secretaries were Archbishops and Bishops."

Grazioli, Sob-Dean of the Sacred Rota, and Judges Pericoli and Angelini-Rota. of the Vatican City, represented the Courts of the Roman Curia.

Still in active work, and interested in the problems of to-day, may His Grace be with the Church in Australia -many more years, helping to direct her work for God and society. * . The factors contributing to the recent New Zealand earthquake were described by Father O'Leary, director of the Riverview Observatory, in an address broadcast from Station 2UE. Contrary to popular belief, said Father O'Leary. the earth's crust was not a solid mass. Actually it was made up of many great rocky blocks, resting or floating on a layer of plastic material beneath. As some blocks sank into the plastic layer more deeply than those adjoining them, the rocky walls rubbed together, and fearful strains were set up. Sometimes, indeed, there would be another fracture in the earth's crust, some thirty miles deep. and perhaps hundreds of miles long. Shocks such as these naturally set the whole world quivering. New Zeaiane was "in the first line of battle." and portion of its eastern coast was subject to terrific stresses. Australia, fortunately, was too far away to feel more than distant repercussions of the combat. In connection with the Swiss Industries Fair to be held at Basle from 11th to 210. April, Thos.

Perth ,will be pleased to hear she has been appointed Post-mistress at Sandstone, where she has been for the past six months temporarily employed. • The Vatican is especially pleased with the great interest manifested To the American press, which requested integral cable transmission of the Encyclical. "The Tribuna," the most important Roman Fascist newspaper, says: "The Encyclical must be heard as the highest word which can be said on matrimony. The reception of it is doubly happy in Italy, since Italian tradition concerning the sanctity of matrimony and the family is among the profoundest and dearest to her people." Speaking of the condemnation of birth control by the Poe, "The Tribuna" recalls the recent pronouncement of the Anglican bishops in the Lambeth Conference favouring birth control. It says: "The solemn words of the Pope manifest the loftiness and moral purity of Catholic teaching, its force and authority. The mandate exercised by the Roman Pontiff stands over those weak larvas of authority which still exist in Protestantism solely as formless remains of their ancient appurtenance to the Roman fold." The British secular press received it with stiff silence. Its defence of the marriage bond and the vacillation of the Established Church of England in regard to the sanctity and indissolubll. ity of marriage, is. maybe, a reason for the attitude of the secular press to the Encyclical, and it may be that they have nothing that is worth while to say in reply. The latter reason seems the correct one. They are more concerned with the tragedies and dirt of divorce than with the integrity of the home and the sanctity of Christian marriage. • • * Much sympathy will be felt with Rev. Bro. T. P. Grealy, of the Christian Brothers', College, Geraldton, who has received news of the death of his mother, Mrs. Peter Grealy, at her home a: Gympie, Queensland, on Friday week after a very brief illness. The deceased lady, who was in her seventieth year, was born at Oranmore, County Galway, Ireland, and has lived at Gym. pie for the past forty years. Her low is mourned by her husband, six children, and sixteen grandchildren. also a large circle of friends. All the relatives reside in Queensland, with the exception of Bro.

The Holy See has accepted the resignation of the Right Rev. J. H. Tihen. from the Diocese of Denver (USA.) and has appointed him to the Titular See of Bosana.

THE RECORD Einstein showed the door to the atheists who wish to claim him Mid his theories for themselves. "P. I. O'L.," in "General Talk" in the "Advocate." of the 19th. inst., pays a graceful compliment to the Australian poet, Bernard O'Dowd, when noticing his recent appointment as Chief Parliamentary Draughtsman. He writes: "Mr. O'Dowd has done the State a good service as a drafter of some of its laws, but he has done it immensely greater Not service by writing his poetry. all the ably assembled clauses in every Act for which various governments have received the credit, but which he drafted, and. I have no doubt suggested, as needed and valuable as these may be, not all these taken together equal in importance one stanza from, say, his beautiful poem, 'The Bush.'" And further, by way of justice to a ells tinguished poet hidden in the silences of a Government job: "Our greatest living poet —perhaps the greatest poet Australia has produced—Mr. O'Dowd is a writer whose words have an especially tonic value for the people of the Commonwealth in these days of usurious pressure. They have other values of course." "P. T.

The play was very interesting to watch, and some couples took fully IT hours to play their sets. Geraldton proved to be the strongest team. A very enjoyable lunch and afternoon tea were prepared, and after lunch the player returned to the courts to continue the match. At the conclusion of play, Mr. T. Hackett (captain) thanked the G.C.T.C. for the enjoyable day all had spent, and hoped that in the near future they would come out to Mt. Erin again. Mr. J. Hug suitably responded, and thanked this branch for the invitation, and said it would not be long before they went out. At dusk all retired from the courts and left for their homes in the country, 25 to 35 miles distant. Following are the results of the day's play.

Kevin Leddin, who leaves immediately for the country. The notice came as a shock to the delegates, but they rallied quickly to show their appreciation of Bro. Leddin's unfailing and untiring assistance during his many years' association with the committee. An impromptu farewell supper was partaken of, and a cheque handed to Bro. Leddin. Next morning the secretary as- ' sisted him in purchasing a suitable memento of the occasion. On our next meeting night, altered to March 3, nomination of officers will be taken. With such a large representation of delegates, these positions should be keenly contested.

THE RECORD. .
Around the Catholic World LADY 106 YEARS HOPES TO LIVE ANOTHER 25. Dr. Charlotte de Galiere Davenport, who lives in Chicago, is now 106 years, and her interest in life is so keen that she hopes to continue her active life for another 25 years. This bright-eyed, white-haired woman who appears as active as a woman of 45, is the mother of 11 children, has mastered seven languages, and is the author of "Memoirs of a Professional Woman," to be published this year. he was born in Russia in 1824. Dr. Davenport reads constantly, exercises regularly, and lives on a very limited diet. She has little patience with plump women who overindulge. "What the world needs," she said, "is more self-control and less birth control." FASCIST JOURNAL LAUDS ENCYCLICAL. -Popolo di Roma," Roman Fascist newspaper, exalts the Encyclical recently issued by His Holiness Pope Pius XI. on Christian Marriage, mentioning the great evils that follow from the destruction of the family, especially through divorce. "The Pope has affirmed the interdependence between conditions in the family and the State which If the family incannot be denied. stitution is not very solid, if matrimonial unity is not perfect, if offspring does not cement the conjugal union, if husband and wife fail in their duty and do not provide with teaching and e xample for the education of their children, men will be bad citizens, and the State will find itself, as the Pope said, built on sand. We greatly hope that the sacred words of the Vicar of Christ will recall men to the observance of those precepts on which depend their welfare and that of nations." HOLY FRENCH MARSHAL IN LAND. Marshal Franchet d'Esperey, who re. presented France at the coronation of Ras Tafari, Emperor of Abyssinia, has just visited the Holy Places in Jerusalem. On arrival he went straight to the Church of the Latin Patriarchate to assist at Holy Mass. On subsequent days. he visited the principal Christian shrines, beginning with the Basilica of the Holy Sepulchre. -• HOLY SEPULCHRE ORDER. His Eminence Cardinal Hayes, Archbishop of New York, invested 13 prominent iaymen with the insignia ot the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre in St. Patrick's Cathedral. recently. The Cardinal was on the previous day invested with the insignia of Knight Grand Cross of the Order. Judge Victor J. Dowling. ot the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court, has been appointed PresidentGeneral of the National Council which is being established in the United States. The Grand Masters of the Sovereign Order of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem (the Knights of Malta) were at one time titular Grand Masters of the Order of the Holy Sepulchre. In 1847 Pope Pius IX. attached the Grand Magistracy to the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem, but in 1907 constituted himself Pope Pius X.

educational authorities of the city of Osaka, Japan, on the occasion of the 40th. anniversary of the promulgation of the "Rescript on Education." Thirtytwo educators in the city were singled out for honours, including only one other foreigner besides the two religious. Motherr Bernadine has spent 58 years in Japan in the education of Japanese girls. At the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of her arrival in Osaka, her influence in bringing home the value of religious education was portrayed in the enthusiasm exhibited on that occasion for Catholic schools and the Catholic Church. When the Emperor of Japan during his visit to Osaka, in June, 1929, allowed the distinguished benefactors of the community to be presented to him, Mother Bernadine was the only foreigner thus honoured. The venerable religious is the superior of the Catholic Girls' Brother School of Shinai, Osaka. Coutret has seen 41 years' service as Professor in the Shining Star Commercial School of Osaka.—Fides.

JOINS THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, The Rev. Elbert W. Whippen, pastor of Christ Universalist Church, Middleton, N.C. (U.S.A.), has resigned his office and joined up with the Catholic Church, and is now preparing to study for the priesthood. For several years he had contemplated the step, members of his congregation say, but hesitated out of deference to the wishes A his mother, recently deceased. His father, also a Universalist clergyman, died three years ago. Parishioners recall that in several of his latter sermons the convert made frequent reference to Catholic beliefs and practices always in terms of praise. In his farewell letter to his congregation, Mr. Whippen expressed the belief that he could best serve humanity through the medium of the Catholic Church CATHOLICS AND EUGENICS. A Catholic may be a eugenist provld ed he seeks his end by moral and not immoral means, declared Dr. Thomas Colvin. noted Catholic medical man. in a speech to members of the Catholic Young Men's Society at Glasgow, recently.

It was the main feature of a lecture recently delivered to the Leinster Society of Organists and Choir Masters at the Royal Irish Academy of Music by Mr. T. Logier, who dealt specially with Plain Chant, and urged that it was particularly appropriate to Fligh Mass. The lecture was illustrated by examples of church mush' by the Iona Male Choir, including the singing of the Gloria and the Credo from the Missa de .Angelis, and some old German harmonised pieces. At Newry lately. Sir Richard Terry. who was the adjudicator at the Fels. said that as an Englishman nothing surprised him more than the remarkable Plain Song movement in Ireland during the past few years. There was, he said, nothing quite like it in any other European country. . He warmly praised the artistic phrasing and rhythmic continuity of the competitors.

OBITUARY. THE LATE BRIDGET KEATING. The death of the late Mrs. Bridget Keating, which occurred on the 3rd, inst., closed the life of an old and worthy colonist of 65 years' standing. The late Mrs. Keating was born in Clonmel, Tipperary, Ireland, 87 years ago. She married the late Edmund William Keating in Victoria, in 1867, and there were five sons and three daughters of the union. Mrs. Keating was a wellknown figure in Perth for many years, till failing health compelled her to live a life of quiet retirement. Of a bright and generous disposition, old age did not deprive her of the buoyancy of youth. and it was always a pleasure to engage in conversation with her. The funeral moved from St. Mary's Cathedral, where Rev. Father Prendiville offered up Requiem Mass for tile repose of her soul, and proceeded to the Catholic Cemetery, Karrakatta, where the remains were laid to rest. Rev. Father F. O'Connor recited the last prayers for the faithful departed. The chief mourners were: Messrs. James and Walter Keating (sons). Mrs. R. Elliott (daughter), Mrs. J. and W. Keating (daughters-in-law). Miss Marie Elliott (grand-daughter). Leonard, Jack, Kevin. Leo, and Leslie Keating. Frank and Ray Eliott (grandsons). The pall-bearers were: Messrs. J. Dwyer (rep. Trish National Foresters), C. Barry. P. Mooney, A. L. Doyle, J. P. Williams, and D. Keane. Those present were: Rev. Father J. O'Reilly. L. Fogarty. R. .Tolley, D. Sinclair. R. O'Keefe, G. Hodgkiss. c. Ward, D. L. McFadyen, W. G. Wood, D. Lees, R. Shields. R. flowering, H. Fox. F. Dethridge. j. D. Walsh, M. Cogan, H. Whitheact J. T. McEncroe. R . S. Phillips, C. King. L. O'Brien, T. Healy, D. Cannon, J. Preston, and T.

The funeral arrangements were carried out by Messrs Bowra and O'Dea.

The use of the formula proves nothing except that the thief is also a liar. In that he is like the profligate who defends himself with the calumny that 'all men are alike.'

Talking on the Seventh Commandment in the "Catholic Hour" (a wireless broadcast programme), the Rev. James M. Gillis, C.S.P., editor of "The Catholic World," put aside discussion "of the cruder forms of theft," and considered "some of the subtle and surreptitious violations of the Command. 'Thou Shalt Not Steal: Father Gillis spoke first about transactions on the stuck market, confessing that he has no expert knowledge of "the tricks of bulls and bears.- "But," he said, "there is one thing that I feel 1 can say, not tentatively, but dogmatically: that the men who do know the game and play the game unscrupulously are thieves and robbers quite as truly as the pickpocket, the burglar, or the bandit." Slogans Condemned. "Of course," Father Gillis continued, "there is a great deal of dishonesty in business. It is justified by those who indulge in it with some sweeping phrase such as 'Business is ;business,' or 'I am not in business for my health,' or 'Everybody's doing it,' just as 10,000 wicked things in warfare were justified with the easy phrase, spoken with a raising of the eyebrow and a shrug of the shoulders, French fashion. C'est la guerre, which means the same thing as our own English phrase 'all's fair in love and war.'" "Business lies, for example," Father Gillis continued, "are immoral and not only immoral, but possibly also unjust. One who tells a business lie simply to persuade the customer to buy, but gives him fair value for his money, is a liar indeed, but not a thief. . . . But if he lies and at the same time cheats, he commits two sins and is bound to restitution. . . ." Defrauding Government.

There is, then, no need to idly long f or grand occasions, big difficulties, opportunities for mighty efforts, tremendous works. Foolish indeed are those who would desire such things; truly, "they know not what they ask." Wise indeed, and truly happy, are those content to lead a hidden, ordinary life, and to pass unnoticed in the crowd. How precious are such lives when every word and deed and thought is prompted and ruled by love of God!

THE RECORD.
Aunt Bessy's Corner DEAR NIECES AND NEPHEWS,— School is fairly in swing again, and most of you are hard at work. There is one thing you can do, do you remember your first few weeks at school? How strange and shy you felt. Well, children, you have been there last year and perhaps the year before, have found your chums, and exchanged confidences about your holidays, and all the different things you intend to do this year. Now, call to mind your first appearance at the school. Everybody seem to have somebody to talk to but you, and you were glad to hurry home from the horrid school, where there was no one to talk to you, glad to get to your own home again. Now. nieces and nephews, do not let any boy or girl go home feeling like that: get them right into the school fun at once. Let them know that your school is the best school, and you will soon find by doing so that you are getting the most good out of your school days. Now, I must not creep any further down your Corner, as some of you have sent in some interesting puzzles, for which I thank you. AUNT BESSY. Letters from Acknowledgments: Norma Cripps.

XIII. that denounced the economic slavery of modern business. The barriers of the Jewish people were broken down; like prejudices remain to be destroyed. The fundamental equality of mankind in one human nature, though beautifully expressed in civic dom. ments, is, nevertheless, in practice, often disregarded. It may seem a far cry from original sin to the proper administration of penalties in prison, or a long step from the redemption to a fair and just wage for workingmen, but, without the basis of Catholic truth, none of these can be practical in application. New philosophies are quickly formed; their particular results not so easily remedied.

Amongst other things, Mrs. Bruce stated that, thanks to her education in London convents, her faith in Divine Providence had been complete throughout her journey. When forced to land in the jungle (Ai a Saturday night, she flew back to a little town, Lakone, in French IndoChina, to attend Mass on Sunday morning. "The dear old priest, Father Faber, blessed me and my plane," she said with fervour, "and I firmly believe that it was his pra9ers and blessing that -aved me later when, lost for four hours above the clouds, and afraid to come out for fear of striking the mountain tops, I was being driven on by the wind which was sending me out to sea—the Persian Gulf. Miraculously, it seemed, the wind changed, and with but five minutes more of petrol in my tank, I looked down and beheld the town of Hanoi. By the Grace of God, I thought, and not by my skill in steering, I was taken straight over Hanoi, instead of out to sea. -It was from the Jesuit Fathers at Shanghai that I received my weather reports to guide me across the sea," she added. "A kind old Jesuit priest arose at 4 o'clock on the morning of my departure to get observations for me." It was with something more than joy that she told of the last service her husband performed foe, her before she left London. "He tacked a medal of St. ChrisOF GOOLtopher on my plane," she said.

The Fight for Catholic Rights in England British Government's Defeat on the Schools Bill, The MacDonald Government was defeated in the House of Commons on Wednesday night, the 21st, ult., on the Schools (Attendance) Bill. The victory for justice for Catholic schools was a personal triumph for Mr. John Scurr (Catholic Labour member), though it was a bitter triumph over his own party. He has, says the "Universe," earned the gratitude of every Catholic in the country. Mr. Scurr, after weeks of fruitless discussion to reach a settlement, moved an amendment providing that the Bill should not operate until an act had been passed "authorising expenditure out of public funds upon such conditions as are necessary to meet the cost to be incurred by the managers of non-provided schools in meeting the requirements of the provisions of this Act, but in no event shall the Act come into operation earlier than September 1, 1932." The House divided on the amendment, and there voted: For the amendment 282 Against .. . . 249 Majority against the Government 33 There was tremendous excitement in the' House when the result of the division was known, and some Conservatives shouted "Resign." Mr. Baldwin asked the Prime Minister whether he intended to proceed with the Bill. Mr. MacDonald declared that no question of principle was involved, and the Government fluid continue its negotiations. Lord Rustace Percy moved the adjournment of the House, but the mo-
tion was negatived without a division, and the Report stage of the Bill was continued. On the vote the Government secured a majority of 18, the figures being: For the third reading .. .. 256 The third reading was acordingly carried. The Government threat to the Catholic—and other non-provided—school The Bill cannot is therefore dead. become operative unless equal justice is offered all round. The object of the Bill was to raise the school leaving age to fifteen and it was to become operative in Septern. her this year. It made no provision for the enlargement of Catholic schools to meet the demands upon their capacity which would have been created. The injustice of the measure was that Catholics, more than anybody else, were to be held up to ransom to finance this economic scheme of the Government. Catholics would, unless the House of Lords rejected the Bill, have had to find another 33,000 places at £30 a place, involving an outlay of nearly £1,000,000

Mr. Selby was very fond of pla• ying
Ickes on his wife. "My dear." he said one day as they sat at dinner. "I've
just heard such a sad story of a young girl. They thought she was going
blind, and so a surgeon operated on her, and found"— "Yes?" asked the wife.
"That she'd got a young man in her eye!" said Selby, with a chuckle. For a moment there was silence. Then Mrs. Selby said slowly, "Well. it would all depend on what sort of man it was. Some of them she conk have seen through easily enough! It was the custom in the village for the well-to-do inhabitants to make good any loss which the villagers might sustain through the death of any live stock. A retired millionaire, recently settled in the village, was ignorant of this laudable practice, and was considerably puzzled by the visit of a labourer's wife, who explained that she had lost a pig. "Well. I haven't, got it! ' said the bewildered millionaire. "What I mean, sir, of course, is that t he pig died," nervously explained the w oman. "Well, what do you want me to do?" asked the new arrival. "Send a wreath!" The teacher had been giving a lesson on the use of the word immaterial, and to discover what the children had learned asked them to bring some article to school demonstrating the word. Next day she said to one bright youth, "Now, Johnny, show me what you have brought." "Welt" said Johnny, rising, "will you please hold this stick tightly at both ends?" Having done this, the teacher in. (mired what was to be done next. "Let go one end of the stick," commanded the pupil. " Which end?" asked the teacher. "Oh, it's immaterial," replied Johnny; " there's glue on both ends." " You haven't any serious or orga• nic t rouble," said the young physician cheerfully. "You're a little nervous and run down, that's all. Take more
