The Modern Mind and the Church

Fides Special Service to "The Record.'

The modern world held that people had a right to go to the devil in their own way. Ninety per cent, of the people were like sheep and took their standard of being decent or indecent from their neighbours, said Father Ronald Knox, M.A., speaking on "The Catholic Church and the Modern Mind" at Blackpool, under the auspices of the Catholic Evidence Guild last month.

DUBLIN CONGRESS, 1932 The advance programme of the 31st. International Eucharistic Congress, to be held in Dublin on June 22-26, 1932, has reached us. Under this heading we shall publish each week some particulars of the arrangements being made in Dublin to celebrate an event that will attract to Erin's shores mazy members of the mighty family of the Irish race scattered all over the world. In 1932 Ireland will also commemorate the 15th. hundred anniversary of the coming of St. Patrick, who landed • on its soil in 432.) 4,1I. .1 esPREVIOUS INTERNATIONAL EUCHARISTIC CONGRESSES. ( Continued Lourdes, Angers, Nan, Angouleme. At Lourdes the intimate connection of the Blessed Sacrament with Our Lady was made manifest to one of the most fervent Congress gatherings seen so far. Many of the papers, as was fitting, dealt with the Eucharistic devotions, particularly the Mass, in relation to rural districts. It was at this Congress of Lourdes that women were first admitted to Eucharistic deliberations in a special section. Angers, whence sprung the heresy of 13erangarius, held the Congress in 1901. Here in the tenth century the Real Presence had been denied. Here, too, that denial was retracted in face 0. the opposition of the sturdy Angevin Catholicity. What the third Council of Angers had formulated succeeding centuries of'Catholicity had guarded. This Congress marked the beginning of youth sections at Eucharistic gatherings and made clearer the importance of women's sections initiated at Lourdes, for it was here that women ii spoke at a Eucharistic Congress. By reason of its attention to the needs Youth, the Congress of Angers has been called "the Congress of Hope." The Congress of Namur in 19172 was notable in many ways. Mgr. Heylen. then as now Bishop of Namur, President of the Permanent Committee, was the sponsor of the Congress. The organisation was carried out with a perfection of detail by Committees composed of the flower of the Belgian nobility. These included a Committee of Catholic youths and a Committee of Catholic women. By no means the least of its glories was the part played by the children, their prayers and sacrifices for the success of the Eucharistic Hosting. The people of Belgium had eve: striven for their Faith in Jesus Hostia. The Congress of Namur was their reward. At the Congress of Angouleme in 1904 (the first in the Reign of Pius X ), the fruits of the first Congress Prayer Crusade were offered to the Eucharistic King. Here, again, great stress was laid on the importance of the Eucharist in the life of youth, especially in the training of the child Rome-1906. The year 190.i was the silver Jubilee year of the International Eucharistic Congresses. Leo XIII had issued thirtythree documents in favour of the movement during his reign, yet it had not received official status in the Church. But whatever measure of prestige was lacking to this most fertile of sources of good to the Church, was fully made up by the action of Pius X. in -holding the Jubilee Congress in Rome itself. This mark of the Holy Father's concern for the advancement of the Congress movement was conveyed to the Catholic world by the Brief of 28th. February. 1905. The Holy Father himself celebrated the opening Mass, assisted by a Latin deacon and Greek sub-deacon. All the glory and splendour of the See of Peter and the ceremonies of Mother Church contributed to make the occasion memorable. During the Congress the keenest minds in the Catholic world discussed ways and means of furthering the Kingdom of the Eucharistic Host Great churchmen united with the foremost Catholic laymen in giving of their best in lecture and debate to the cause of Christ. In closing one of the greatest Congresses in the history of the movement. His Holiness encouraged the faithful "to put forth their best efforts in a crusade which seemed the only one capable of saving a foolish world from going headlong to its ruin." Tournai, Mets-1906, 1907. A few months after the great Congress of Romer Pius X issued the famous Decree "Sacra 1ridentina Svnodus" on frequent and daily Communion. The Congress of Tournai was the first organised effort to discuss this epochmaking decree and to seek means for its practical application. The Eucharistic Congress movement had exerted untold influence on the Church towards this very end. It was the Eucharistic Congresses that helped to

crush the last remnant of Jansenism that would have opposed it. The Congress of Tournai was the Congress of Frequent Communion. At its inception the Papal Legate stressed the importance of the recent decree. During its great conferences, the frequent reception of the Blessed Sacrament was urged on young and old as the niotive power of the Christian life. The Congress closed on the note of Reparation for the age-long indifference of man. Two innovations of note marked the Congress of Metz, held in the following year. One was the official reception accorded to the Papal Legate, Cardinal Vannutelli, by the city officials and citizens of all creeds. The other was the great procession of the children. "the lambs of Christ's flock." During the whole Congress, the central theme was "Frequent and Daily Communion.- The fervour of the Catholic people of Lorraine informed every act of that great gathering—was the motive force behind its inspiring close.

Congre-- had been held in the New World. In this year the triumph of Christ the King passed from Europe to the great American Continent. It was fitting that the twenty-first International Eucharistic Congress should have been held in Montreal, a city that might well be named as one of the world's great Catholic capitals; a land which was early Christianised by the pioneer missionaries of France, several of whom laid down their lives for the Hidden King in the effort to establish His reign in this vast new-won land. The great Congress of Montreal might be said to have marked the results of that effort, the flowering of the seeds sown in the blood of Martyrs. The Papal Legate was accorded a royal welcome by Church and State Many of the most prominent Catholic laymen of Canada and USA. delivered orations of note. Prominent amongst these was the Hon. Henri Bourassa, Canada's leading Catholic journalist. In an eloquent speech. the late illustrious Father Bernard Vaughan, 3.7., paid a glowing tribute to the steadfast faith which the Irish people have sustained by their love of the Blessed Eucharist. Every aspect of the Eucharist as an antidote to modern evils was dealt with. The Congress closed in a storm of Representatives of more rejoicing. than a dozen nations of the Old and New Worlds united in a shout of triumph for Christ the King. (To be C,ontinuedS

The Return of Religious Faith Some Recent Tendencies of Thought. In an article contributed to the 'New York Times," Mr. G. K Chesterton sees in contemporary life a general movement away from scepticism in f avour of religious faith. In the survival of religion Mr. Chesterton finds perhaps the only perfect example of what nineteenth-century Darwinians were pleased to call the "Survival of the Fittest." "We have, of course," Mr. Chesterton writes, "seen just lately the most dramatic exit of great material scientists from the camp of Materialism. It was Eddington, I think, who used the phrase that the universe seems to be rather like a great thought than a great machine; and Dr. Whitney has declared that there is no rational description of the ultimate cosmic motion except the will of God. "But it is the perishing of the other things, at least as much as the persistence of the one thing, that has left us at last face to face with the ancient re• ligion of our fathers. The thing once called free thought has come finally to threaten everything that is free. It denies personal freedom in denying free will and the human p.swer of choice. It threatens civic freedom with a plague of hygienic and psychological quackeries spreading over the land such a network of pseudo-sciontific nonsense as free citizens have never yet endured in history. . . . "The whole trend of it, which began as a drive and has ended in a drift, is toward some form of theory that a man cannot help himself; that a man cannot mend himself, above all, that a man cannot free himself. In all its novels and most of its newspaper articles, it takes for granted that men are stamped and fixed in certain types of abnormality or anarchical weakness: that they are pinned and labeled in a musuem of morality or immorality; or of that sort of unmurality which is more priggish than the one and more hoggish than the other. "We are practically told that we might as well ask a fossil to reform itself. We are told that we are asking a stuffed bird to repent. We are all .lead: and the only comfort is that For by thi:'we are all classified. philosophy, which is the same as the 'blackest of Puritan heresies, we all died before we were born. But as it is Kismet without Allah, so also it is Calvinism without God. "The agnostics will be gratified to loam that it is entirely due to their c.wn energy and enterprise, to their own activity in pursuing their own an' ties, that the world has at last tired of their antics and told them so. We have done very little against them; non nouns, Domine; the glory of their We final overthrow is all their own. have done far less than we should have done, to explain all that balance of subtlety and sanity which is meant by • Christian civilisation. Our thanks are due to those who have so generously helped us by giving a glimpse of what might be meant by a pagan civilisation. And what is lost in that society is not so much religion as rea Kw the ordinary common daylight • intellectual instinct that has guided A world ir the children of men. which men know that most of whs• they know is probably untrue cants it be dignified with the name of a skeptical world; it is simply an impotent and abject world, not attacking any thing. but accepting everything who trusting nothing; accepting even its own incapacity to attack: accepting its lack of authority no doubt: doubting its right to doubt. --__ _GOD ALWAYS PRESENT. A buillder on the top of a house always apprehends the danger of falling, says St. John Chrysostom. On this ac. count he is careful how he stands. So have we much to fear, how much soever we may be advanced in virtue. .The principal means always to entertain in our souls this saving fear is to have God always before our eyes, Who is everywhere present, hears and see, all things, and penetrates the most sacred folding of our hearts. 'Whether you eat, go to sleep, sit at dainty tables, are inclined to anger or ant other passion, or whatever else you do, remember allays that God is present, and you will never fall into dissolute mirth or be provoked to anger, but will watch over Yourselves in continual fear.

Faith and Patriotism in France SOME FIGURES IN CONTEMPORARY FRENCH HISTORY. In his -Memoirs and Musings,- in the "Catholic Times." "Nestor" writes: I once heard Mr. Hilaire Belloc giving a lecture at Oxford on "The Catholic Reaction in France," some years before the appearance of Mr. Denis Gwynn's brilliant volume on the same subject. It was at the exciting period of the Dreyfus agitation, between the two condemnations of the alleged Jewish spy. The speaker professed to see an intimate connection between this agitation and the reaction towards catholicism throughout France; especial. ly in the great cities; and one of his hearers ventured, I remember, to ask whether, if the Catholic reaction depended on so evanescent a _phenomenon as the Dreyfus agitation, it was not likely itself to prove equally evanescent. "No," Mr. Benue at once replied, "for France is essentially, and at heart, a Catholic people. Every Frenchinan, broadly speaking. has made his first Communion, and hopes to have the good fortune to make his And he proceeded to press his last." point home with the wealth WI illui"trations (many of them drawn from his personal experience in the army and elsewhere- of which he was a mastter. Back to the Faith of Childhood. The death of the great patriot and soldier. Marshall Joffre—long a complete stranger to Catholic practice— fortified by the fullest blessing from the Hole Father, and by all the consolations which Holy Church offers to a dying sinner, brings to one's mind the enormous part which patriotism has played in France in recent years in bringing men hack to the faith of their childhood: the "simple faith of a Breton peasant," which the illustrious Pasteur described as the innermost be, lief of his soul. What marvellous examples does modem France afford us of the complete and miraculous con. version, at almost every period of their life's history, of men and women who had for years spent their brilliant talents ,literary and other, in a continuous campaign against the Church of God! The Conversion of Madame Adam. How truly wonderful, for example. has been the case of Madame Adam. freethinker, agnostic, revolutionary and republican, who lived through four revolutions, and won literary immortality by her masterly writings in her own "Nouvelle Revue." Once a worshipper of Gambetta, she grew to detest his vehement anti-clericalism, and slowly worked her way back--or for. ward—to become a fervent practising Catholic, with the deepest veneration especially for those saints who were examples of true patriotism. Madame Adam returned to the Catholic Church because she hoped thus best to fulfil her mission as a patriotic French woman. "I believe," she said, "that a true French patriot can no more escape being a Catholic than a truly patriotic Turk escape being a Mussulman." Madame Adam has graphically described, in her own novel. "Chretienne." her conversion from paganism to Christianity. Alone With God on a Mountain Peak. Take again the astonishing life story of Charles de Foucault-I, to which the graceful and elegant pen of Rene Basin has done full justice in his biography of him published a few years ago.

The history of Charles de Foucauld, as Bazin tells it, is fascinating and romantic; but there are other, and contemporary, French figures hardly less Among them stands out Ernest so. Psichari. maternal grandson of the A brilliant sceptic Ernest Renan. student, and a highly promising young soldier: he, too, passed a youth uninfluenced by religion: and then, at the age of twenty-six, he headed an expeditionary column to Mauretania, and spent three years among the African deserts. In these spaces and silences he found his way back to the Church of his fathers, formally professed himself a Catholic, and wrote a wonderful book. "A Centurion's Journey"--the detailed history of a double journey, that of an officer at the head of his column, and of a soul in search of God. It is an intensely moving picture of his progress through Nature to the God of Nature and of the Catholic Church: and no one can read it without profound emotion. Psichari went to the front with his regiment iii' the great war. and fell, at the age of thirty, dur ing the retreat from Charleroi, his ros ary on his arm, and defending his guns t o the last moment.

Bombs to Bulbs

-Forgetting the World War, whose horrors were multiplied by the bomb his brain devised. Sir William Mills, now lives in a beautiful garden on the French Riviera. More than 75,000,000 Mills' bombs were used during the war, and military authorities said their effectiveness threatened to replace the rifle. However. the 74-year-old inventor got little but thanks and a knighthood for his work. He maintains he lost money through his invention. The story of the bomb maker is an interesting one. In April, 1915, after he had spent large sums .in experimental work, government experts were convinced of the effectiveness of the supplied 50,000 bomb and ordered By working day and night quickly. Mills was able to deliver 8.000 the following month. In 1921, Mills asked one English penny each for the 75,000,000 used, as a commercial royalty, but the Royal Commission on Awards to Inventors granted him approximately £27.600. Two Years ago, in contesting a tax action by the Government. Mills said he had been given orders for the manufacture of only 4,000,000 of the bombs from which he derived a net profit of 1390,485. On this amount he paid an income tax of £16,053, and an excess profits tax of £73.142, leaving an excess of taxes over profits of £11,498, and in addition he was paying a supertax of £10,000. The change from bombs to bulbs was an easy one for the inventor, who has maintained an interest in floriculHe is a collector of ture for years. art and books of which he has an e xtenc.ive knowledge.

Around the Catholic World CHINESE STUDENTS IN EUROPE. The Christian Association of Chinese Students, inaugurated in Europe a decade ago by the well-known missioner to the Chinese, the Rev. Vincent Lebbe, C.M., continues to prosper, and conversions to the Faith are yearly registered among students who came to Europe as pagans. The Association is especially active in Belgium, since Cardinal Mercier manifested intense interest in Father Lebbe's work for Chinese s tudents. Realising the vital importance of such a movement, Cardinal Mercier aided the missioner from the start, not only urging Catholic colleges to grant free board and tuition to Chinese students, but himself giving the example by providing for an OriAt the close of a reental student. treat for Father Lebbe's Chinese, the Cardinal, on a certain memorable occasion, himself administered the Sacrament of Confirmation to more than twenty of their number.

THE PERSECUTION OF RUSSIA. A Catholic priest who had succeeded in escaping from the notorious Solowki interment camp has arrived at Stoppoe, on the Russo-Polish frontier. He states that in December, there were in the camp 20 Catholic priests from the districts of Minsk and Mohylov who had been arrested for a collective protest lodged by them in connection with the arrest of Bishop Skowronski. Altogether there were 48 Catholic and 423 Russian Orthodox priests interned at the camp. MASS BEQUESTS. The ruling of the late Lord Biracen• head that a bequest for Masses was not void as a superstitious practice in England. has been held as a precedent in Canada, where Chief Justice MacDonald has given a similar decision at The case was one in which Winnipeg the executors of a will sought to have it declared that a bequest of 7,000 dollars to the Sacred Heart parish.

WHITEHAVEN PIT DISASTER. Six of the twenty-seven victims in the explosion at the Haig Pit, Whitehaven district, in England, were Catholics. The bodies of Joseph Rogan and his son John, were so mutilated that they were identified only by a process of elimination of the other bodies. The first priest or minister to arrive at the scene of the disaster was Father H. Jraurus van Theil, 0.S.B., who has charge of the little Church of Our Lady at Kells, which stands within a stone's throw of the Haig Pit. Father van Thiel lives with the Benedictines at St. Begh's, Whitehaven, but on the night of the accident he had gone to Kells, about a mile away, to stake the furnace at the church. He was about to return to Whitehaven when a partstiioner tola him of the disaster. He rushed to the pit head immediately. Thousands of men, women, and children were gathered there.

Loreto Convent, Nedlands, Opened GREAT TRIBUTES TO *On Sunday last, March 1st, His Grace the Archbishop said Mass at Loreto Convent, Nedlands, and _then blessed the most recent addition to the schools of the Archdiocese. The formal opening ceremony took place at 3.30 p.m. in the School-room. Sir Thomas Molloy, K.C.S,G., was in the chair. There was in attendance a fair gathering, which included the Hon. Mr. Keenan, Minister for Education, Sir Charles Nathan, Mr. President Dwyer, Mr. Le B. Henderson, the architect of the building, and the following members of the clergy: Rt. Rev. Monsignor Vermin, VG., PA.;. Rt. Rev. 0. Raible, PA.; Very Rev. Father Robinson, C.SS.R.; Very Rev. Father Prendiville, Adm.: Rev. Fathers Haugh, 0.31.I.; Purcell, 0.M.!.; Kenny, 0.M.I.; O'Neill, O'Brien and McMahon. Rev. Brothers Conlin and Power. Brother Boland, 0.M.I., who claims not to have missed an opening ceremony in the diocese for nearly half a century, was also present. Sir Thomas Molloy addressed the assembly, stressing the financial burden under which the Catholics of this State were labouring. If proof of their sincerity were asked for, a function like this presented proof sufficient that the Catholic people were willing and ready to accept the double tax which their religious schools called for. It was well that others should realise what the Catholic schools were saving the State each year. Were all those children, at present being educated in the Catholic schools, to flock to the State schools. it would cost the people of W.A. well over another E100,000 People outside the Catholic Church should not forget that. Sir Thomas called upon His Grace to declare the school Opt 11. HIS GRACE'S ADDRESS. His Grace made an tliopc nt pita for generosity on this occasion, when the Loreto Sisters had kindly come forward to assume the financial responsibility for their new school in this new parish. The parishioners of Nedlands were few, and many of them were beginning their married life. Having recently 1 )pened a church, they could not face the task of financing a school as well. The Loreto Nuns came to the rescue. They began with a secondary school, but the completed building wffl provide a primary school, kindergarten, and a residential hostel for Catholic women undergraduates attending the University. "This is one of my cherished ambitions," said His Grace, "to see our Catholic girls housed here, where they shall be helped in their s tudies by the Loreto Sisters. most 03 whom are distinguished graduates themselves. The wave of depression has postponed the fulfilment of that dream for a while, but we still hope that the original plan will be soon carried out. This consideration should weigh with the Catholics of Nedlands, and incite them to be generous to-day." His Grace touched lightly upon the financial disability of Catholic schools. "It woad hardly be delicate for me," continued His Grace. "to stress the point of Catholic disabilities in the presence of the Minister for Education. We are a suffering people. This function to-day gives some indication to our non-Catholic citizens of the sacrifices we have made, and are prepared to make, to give to our children a sound education grounded on. Catholic culture. We consider education must have religion as a basis. That has been our belief in the past, and continues to remain the first principle of our Catholic philosophy of education. Looking back, we must confess that we have been rewarded by the results." His Grace paid tribute unreserved to the Loreto Sisters as educators. "The Loreto Nuns," said His Grace, "were known throughout this land as women of remarkable culture, whose work as 'educators was singularly successful. One trait that is apparent wherever the Loreto Nuns are established, it seems peculiar to this teaching Order, it is -that the ex-pupils are more attach0,1 to them than the pupils of other Ling Orders."

"These beautiful women who educated my daughters," continued Sir Charles, "have always appealed to me as ideal teachers. When the invitation reached me, I had hoped that it was a personal one, rather that, an official one." Mr. President Dwyer's pleasant task was to return thanks to His Grace for his presence, and for the eloquent plea he had made for the new schogl. Ile could assure His Grace that not the least of the brilliant jewels that already formed the diadem of Catholic education in the schools of the Archdiocese was that day opened. The Loreto Nuns will live up to the best traditions of the diocese. They will become a flourishing institution, spreading their influenee around this new parish. His Grace asked the assembly to acknowledge the Chairman, Sir Thomas Molloy, in the usual manner of expressing their thanks. An apology was read from the Hon. Mr. Macfarlane. The New School Building.

Sponsors at Baptism. M. M.: A non-Catholic cannot be admitted as a sponsor at Baptism. In the first place, the sponsor takes the place of the child to be baptised, and on the child's behalf makes the profession of faith. In the second place, the sponsor assumes the responsibility of caring for the child's education in the Catholic faith, should the need arise. It stands to reason that these duties exclude a non-Catholic from the office of sponsor. St. Sebastian. G. R. : Sebastian was the tribute of a cohert in the Imperial army, and was martyred during the military persecution of the Emperor Diocletian, about the year 290 A.D. . He was buried in catacombs on the Appian Way. since named after him, the Catacombs of St. Sebastian. His tomb is in the church which now surmounts the site of the ancient catacombs. St. Sebastian is the patron saint of soldiers, and his feast day is 'January 20th. tan W. D.: The word Messias." strictly speaking. means "the anointed one:" in the Scriptures it is the title given to the promised Savious of mankind. The Messias is described in great detail in the books of the Old Testament, and was eagerly expected by the Jewish people. Equivalent titles were "the Son of David." and "the Son of Man." and Our Lord's application of these titles to Himself proves that He claim. ed to be the promised Messias. although His claim was rejected by the Jews, who expected a Saviour, to free them also from the yoke of the Roman Empire.

PERTH, SATURDAY, MARCH 7. 1931.

God or Anti-God It is not inappropriate during this Lenten Season, when Holy Church is preparing for the sorrowful days of the Divine Passion, to ask a remembrance for those of the faithful in other lands who are experiencing all the processes of affliction, and the tyrannies of persecution, because of that Faith into which they have been born or called by the grace of God. The cup of tribulation is being drained by them to the dregs, and their Faith is being tested as in other days the fidelity of the martyrs had been tried in the Roman Circus, or the proscribed Irish had been tested for theirs on the gallows, at the whipping post, or in the horrors of exile in the Barbadoes, over which the shadow of death perpetually hovered. Terrible as were those days, it is a saddening reflection that the awfulnesses of the Roman tyrants, ere the full light of Christianity had spread its effulgence on the world, has been paralleled in 'recent years in at least two nations where the Christian religion had been planted in fruitful and friendly soil. Persecution of the Church has been known in every age, and enemies of Christ and His Revelation have existed from the very first days of the going forth of the Apostles. The Church is fated to be hated, because she exercises a divine tyranny over the cohorts of injustice and wrong, and because her mission is to smash the idols of Baal and to spread wide the Kingdom of the Victim of Calvary. • • The question of the time is: God or Anti-God? To what purpose is the advocates of secularism in the policies of Cabinets moving to-day? For a long while now, in the political affairs of the nations, there have been creeping in daring spirits whose ambition is the dethronement of God in the world and the enlargement of Demos-the god of Democracy. An especial instance of this mighty adventure we can point to in the extraordinary development of the Anti-God League in Russia. However much we may deride the abberations of that mad Colossus of the North, we cannot overlook the fact that its influence in world politics is not a negative force. and certainly not within the British Empire. Whilst our separated brethren are waxing angry over the frivols of society, and the alleged decadence of religion, it might not be disadvantageous to their own particular cults did they confine themselves to that especial work which Christianity demandsthe preaching of the Gospel of Christ-His charity, His love. His justice between man and man. They might also eschew politics and leave them to the wisdom of those selected as the representatives of the people. The time is fraught with many possibilities, because democracy is being stirred into revolt by social irritations that have their roots in injustice and a lacking of that human sympathy which gives the equilibrium to social order. Too much of the pagau materialistic philosophy has gained an ascendancy in ment's hearts: "Eat, drink, and be merry, for to-morrow we 'die; Materialism, individualism, egoism, these are the canker-worms of the world to-day as they were of the Roman Empire. Luxury and avarice are the vices of our modern plutocratic states, with their petty pottering politics, their economic jungle. and social despair. • • • • Never within the longest memory of living man has the world been touched by such a series of afflictions as are now pressing their harsh fingers into .the flesh of men. Poverty, disaster, commercial depression, financial losses, economic crises hold the attention of the world to-day-and yet Pleasure must have its fixtures, and the gay world must dance its measure.

The Church's motive for introducing this expression of joy in the midst of Lent is to remind her children that the fruit of penance is joy, and to encourage them to persevere to the end of the season of Penance. The blessing of the Golden Rose by His Holiness the Pope takes place on this Sunday., This flower, "so lovely in its beauty and fragrance." is "a symbol of spiritual joy." And so the Holy Father beseeches God, Who is "the joy and gladness" of all the faithful. "to bless and sanctify this Rose."

THE RECORD. HOLY FAMILY CONFRATERNITY. The Retreat for men, conducted by Fathers Mitchell and Cosgrove, C.SS.R., in preparation for the establishment of a branch of the Holy Family Confraternity in the Monastery Church, came to a successful close last Sunday night. After the Blessing of Our Holy Father the Pope had been given to all who made the Retreat, the Confraternity was formally entrusted to the care of its first Director, Father Robinson, C.SS.R.. who briefly addressed the congregation and exhorted all intending members to assemble for their first meeting on Friday night. Provision is already made for the accommodation of twelve sections, in groups of three. One group is allotted to those usually attending the Monastery Church, and one to those attending each of the three neighbouring All intending members are churches, free to join whatever section they preBut they are exhorted to join fer. some section representing their own it has been suggested that district.

Since the completion of his term of directorship, which in the Marist Congregation is limited to six years, he has been a member of the College Staff. In the various functions confided to him, Brother Borgia has always displayed marked ability as an organiser, and was foremost in rendering service to the Old Boys' Association both in Australia and New Zealand.

ST. PATRICK'S DAY CELEBRATIONS, 1931 GRAND IRISH NATIONAL CONCERT. As has been previously announced, the activities in connection with St. Patrick's Day will take the form of an Irish National Concert. The Committee in its wisdom has decided not to hold the procession and sports this year. The Concert will be held on the evening of St. Patrick's Day, at His Majesty's Theatre, and a number of wellknown artists have offered their services. More details will be a vailable in our next issue. Box Plans now open at Musgrove's. Early booking is advised, owing to the number of applications.

tor, in succession to Mr. Atiee Hunt, Mr. Westhoven joined the Commonwealth Service from West Australian railways, being attached to the central administration of the PostmasterGeneral's department when a new ac countancy system was introduced. Then he became accountant of the Post Office for Victoria, and afterwards for a period was a Public Service inspector. He has been Deputy Postal Director for several years. Only recently Mr. Westhoven has been engaged on work with the committee appointed by the Premiers' Conference to investigate overlapping, duplication, and waste in the various Government services. Mr. Westhoven, who is a man of great personal charm, has immense tact and an unsurpassed knowledge of the departmental aspects of the Public Service. No one begrudges this distinguished officer his well-won promotion. His rise has been rapid because his ability is great, and every single advancement Mr. has been more than merited. Westhoven's latest appointment should prove a most happy and successful one. The death occurred on Thursday, February 19th., at Mount St. Evin's Hospital, at the Mother Rectress, Mary Brendan Lynch. By her death the Sisters of Charity, whose Mother House is at Pott's Point, Sydney, sustain a very great loss. Last July Mother M. Brendan was transferred from St. Vincent's Hospital, Toowoomba, where she had done excellent work during her six yeara of office, and where her name is revered by priests and people. His Grace the Archbishop of Brisbane, Most Rev, Dr. Duhig, and his Lordship the Bishop of Toowoomba, Right Rev. Dr. Byrne, sent telegrams of sympathy and regret to the MotherGeneral of the Order on hearing the sad news. The departed religious was a real spiritual daughter of Mother Mary Aikenhead, whose example she ever kept before her, and a typical member of her great Order, the first religious Order of women to come to Australia. She was one more of those great nuns whose work in the magnificent hospitals of the Sisters of Charity is the pride of the Catholic people, and the admiration of the whole of the community. Mother Mary grendin, who was the daughter of the late Daniel and Mary Lynch, Clare. Ireland, had two sisters in the Order—Sister Mary St. Pierre, St. Vincent's Hospital. Sydney, and Sister Mary Veronica, Catholic Ladies' College, East Melbourne. Mrs. P. F. Morris, Melbourne, is a sister, and Mr. James Lynch. Sydney. a brother. The late Mother Brendan was a relative of His Grace the Archbishop of Perth. Mr. Phil Giles, junr., who received a nasty hurt to his head recently, and is in hospital suffering from its effects. underwent an operation on Tuesday last, and his friends will be pleased to know that his condition is satisfactory. Phil is well known in local football circles, and is an old C.B.C. boy. A good Catholic lad. we hope he will soon be restored to his usual health.

THE RECORD.

Christian Brothers' College, Perth STUDENTS WELCOME A DISTINGUISHED OLD BOY REV. FATHER C. CUNNINGHAM. tin Thursday, February 26, the Rev. Father C. Cunningham, who was ordained at St. Mary's Cathedral on December 27, 1930, visited his old school the Christian Brothers' College-and celebrated Holy Mass in the College Chapel. After breakfast, the boys of the sec ondary division of the College, to the number of two hundred, met in the Assembly Hall, to honour Father Curlninghom. The Principal of the College, the Rev. Brother W. I. Power, presided. The Rev. Principal, in wetcoming back their distinguished guest, expressed the pleasure it gave him to meet and welcome an ex-student who had been raised to the sublime dignity of the Priesthood-a state of life which was one of the most honoured that any man could attain. Continuing, he said that from his first acquaintance with Father Cunningham he was convinced that God wanted him for the Priesthood. Charlie Cunningham, as a school boy, was blameless in conduct. was always a keen student, and wryalways noted for his spirit of prayer. Regularly at stated intervals during the day, and always just before leetirMg at night, would he slip away from his companions to pass a fete moment,: in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament. No doubt the spiritual help received at these visits developed the vocation which was realised on December 27th., when Charlie Cunning. ham was ordained a priest To condude. Brother Power said that he Was •ure that each of the boys present was proud of Father Cunningham, and expressed the hope that all through 'life t he students of C.B.C.would find in their guest of this morning a friend. a helper. and a guide. Three hearty cheers from the students left no doubt as to their endorsement of the Prin. eipal's remarks. Rev. Father Cunningham, who was greeted with long sustained applause. said that if Rev. Brother Power was proud of him, he was prouder of his teachers, and of his old school. Quite a thrill of delight passed through him to stand and offer Mass at the altar from which he so often, as a boy, had received "The Bread of Life." He said it was his misfortune not to have come sooner to visit his Alma Mater. Continuing, he referred to the great .1appiness he experienced in his ordinaion. Although the preparation was ard, it was all compensated for now that his vocation was realised. Brother Power, he said, spoke of his visits to the Blessed Sacrament. He wished -now to testify to the great help he sustained in those visits. To conclude. he expressed his gratitude to his old master, Rev. Brother Power. and promised that, as far as he could, he hoped always to be in a position to help on any student of C.B.C. who might require his priestly ministrations. On behalf of the Brothers and lay members o fthe staff, and of the pre,ent day students of the College. the Principal (Rev. Brother Power) presented Rev. Father Cunningham with a Missal to be used at Mass Father Cunningham suitably replied, after which the gathering dispersed. ANNUAL SWIMMING SPORTS. W. Lee Junior and Senior Champion. By K. J. L. On Tuesday. February 24, at the A.N.A. Baths. the Christian Brothers' r -ollege held their annual swimming -ports. A large gathering of parents and friends viewed the races from the balocnies. Considering the choppy water, the swimming was of a very good standard. The outstanding performer of the day was W. Lee. Although only 15 years of age, he had no difficulty in winning both junior and senior titles. He won the 10G yards. 440 yards open. and the 220 yards, under 16, thus securing 10 points. Kirkpatrick WAS runner-up with 8 points. Ile won the Backstroke, and was second in the Breast Stroke McLeodt who was cecond in the 440 yards, open, is also worthy of mention. He swam a very ; lucky race, keeping level with Lee until the last 25 yards, when the winner's superior condition told. Results:

CRICKET. C.B.C. v. Junior Old Boys. (By K. J. L.) Last Sunday afternoon, at the College Oval. the Junior Old Boys' XI. defeated the College by 14 runs. In the absence of Shea. O'Shaughnessy led the College. The teams were: C.B.C.: ,O'Shaughnessy (capt.). B Buzzard, Arthur, Brown, McLeod, Buzzard, Lyons, Ryan, Chitty. Ken neatly, Mumane. Old Boys: Kennedy (eapt.), Bryant Giles, G. 13oylson. W. Boylson. Perry Herbert, Sullivan, Briggs, Barrett Langor. The Play. The College won the toss and elected to bat, Arthur and Buzzard going in. The last named played a beautiful innings, scoring freely all around the wicket and never gave a chance. All through this player has been most consistent in his batting, and can always be depended upon to get runs for his side when they are in need of them. Another worthy of mention is McLeod, who put 22 to his credit when he retired. During the season he has improved greatly in his batting. He has a solid defence and plenty of power to put behind the loose ones. Taken altogether, the side performed very well, and O'Shaughnessy declared the innings closed with 7 for 116, in order to give the Old Boys a chance to bat. The Old Boys captain, T. Kennedy, sent out Briggs and Giles to open the innings. The former played a nice innings for 19, and looked like getting a lot more, when he was caught and bowled by Brown, who was bowling very well, and finished up the day with the good average of 4 for 48. Taken all round he was the College's best bowler. Herbert and Perry were easily the Old Boys' best scorers the latter contributing a faultless 32 not out, while the former had secured 21. when he was caught by Chitty off Ryan's bowling. At time the Old Boys were 7 for 130, thus securing the verdict by 14 runs.. The College badly missed .T. Shea, both in the batting and in the attack, but O'Shaughnessy handled the team very well.

The teams were: Perth Club: Sir Thomas Coombe (capt.), Messrs. McDougall, Burgoyne, Buning, Wagner, Proctor, Campbell, Leslie, Brown, Dr. Vincent, Dr. Hall. C.B.C.: Shea (capt.), Arthur, B. Buzzard, O'Shaughnessy, McLeod, Brown, J. Buzzard, Ryan, Lyons, Trainor, and Chitty. • The Play. Sir Thomas won the toss and sent in McDougall and Burgoyne to open the innings for the Club. They started well, and carried the score to 21 before Burgoyne was clean bowled by Shea for 4. Bunning and McDougall gave the College some leather hunting for about five overs, when Bunning was off caught by Chitty at mid-on Wagner. O'Shaughnessy's bowling. who followed, scored freely for his innings of 32. Hall replaced McDougall and started to hit out freely. He hit two fine sixers off McLeod's bowling. The next four batsmen, Coombe, Proctor, Campbell, and Leslie, the last two not out, did not add to the score very materially. At 4.50 Coombe declared the innings dosed at 187 for 6 wickets. only giving the College 70 minutes to bat. Shea and Arthur opened the College innings, and immediately set clown to solid batting Arthur batted nicely. scoring freely all around the wicket. and when 44 retired. Shea. at 29. played over a ball from Hall and was bowled. O'Shaughnessy only lasted three balls, when he was caught by Bunning at cover. Brown was a surprise. Instead of going for a hit. as usual, he was content with singles, and in his score of 19 he only hit one four. McLeod batted well for 17 not out. He and B. Buzzard took the score to 123. when time was called. With only three wickets down, the College looked like having a win if the Club had left them a little more time to get the runs.

All members were exhorted to approach Holy Communion in la body on Sunday, March 8, at 7 o'clock Mass. It is hoped there will be a good attendance at the next meeting (March 9th.) as members of the social and sports cornmittee will be present to give an exhibition at table tennis, and it is desired to make the evening enjoyable for all.

Rev. Father Haugh and Srs. Kavanagh and McCorry took the negative side, while Bros. J. W. O'Brien and B. and C. Edwards took the affirmative. As the lady members were upholding their own case, the debate proved very entertaining and amusing, and throughout caused much mirth and laughter. Rev. Father Haugh, in moving a vote of thanks, expressed the keen appreciation of the members in having such an able adjudicator as Bro. J. Dowling. The side for the affirmative was awarded 61 points, and that for the negative 68 points. The debate shows what latent talent abilities these lady members possess, and it is understood that the losing side has isued a challenge to another debate in a few weeks' time. The success of these debates, both so. cially and educationally, is very pmmising, and it will probably not be long before the challenge will extend to other branches.

News and Notes (Continued from Page 11.) The next meeting of the ex-Students of St. Joseph's School, Victoria Square, will be held on Tuesday, the 10th. March. A large attendance is requested. Children of Mary, says Father Degen, should take full advantage of the new mode by which a much longer outer dress, especially for evening wear, is replacing the immodest high-level skirt. Just because they have left school and started to work, young girls cannot dispense with parental protection without serious consequences. It is asking for trouble to acquiesce in their doing pretty well what they like without reference to their fathers and mothers. This is the kind of laxity which is producing the cigarette-smoking, picture-house-mad, boy-hunting type of girl who parades the streets of our big Neither sons nor daughters cities. should be allowed to spend their evenings at dances and parties away from home, unless a definite time-limit has been imposed and accepted. It is infinitely • more important for children to be taught the facts of Divine Revelation than how to analyse sentences or to draw hexagonal prism,. Teo little law and discipline is as bad as, if not worse, than too much. Children's hearts should be educated as well as their heads. Religion is the only subject which speaks to the heart as well as to the head. The flapper who attempts to "joy-ride" through life will sooner or later bump into moral values and Eternal truths and get a Hell of a shock. Among the victims who lost their lives during the recent earthquake in New Zealand, was Sister Mary St. Vin gine, who died from injuries received during a collapse of the Catholic school at Greenmeadows. She was teaching with Sister Ignatius, who was killed outright. Sister Canice, who was in charge of the school, was also injured, but there is hope of her recovery. The pupils were all got safely out of the building. hut the teachers sacrificed themselves to their safety. Sister M. Virgine and Sister M. Ignatius were both devoted and successful teachers, and had only the previous day taken tip duties at Greenmeadows. It is estimated that the loss sustain. Cr! by the destruction of the Marin

"Our buys say they never had such a glorious day as the First Communion Day.

Then Communion Breakfast: then 10 o'clock Mass (such a delight to children who see nothing of their holy religion): then a day for sport and happiness, with an occasional visit to Our Lord, and last, Benediction at night, when the children joined in the '0 Salutaris,' also learned during their ten days' stay in Albany. The Sisters have done wonders in so short a time. I have always tried to teach the children all I could about religion. but how hard a task, when they see nothing of their religion.

St. Canice's Branch, Cottesloe. At the fortnightly meeting of the above branch held on the 25th. February, Bro. J. Hogan presided over an excellent attendance of members. Correspondence was received from the General Secretary, relative to the Cardinal Moran Memorial Fund, pointing out that the branch was in arrears in its contributions. The secretary stated that the council of the Cottesloe United Friendly Societies' Association had raised levies on all members, and until these had been paid he did not deem it wise to further burden the members. This had been explained to the District Board on the occasion of their visit to the branch. However, the secretary stated that levies were now being made, and he was instructed to write to the General Secretary acquainting him of the position. Following the meeting, lectures were given by members dealing with various Australian subjects, and proved to be interesting and highly educational. The next meeting, on the 11th, inst., will be followed by a shooting contest and a good attendance of members is anticipated. [ We would be gratefut if secretaries o f branches would let us have their reports on Tuesday afternoon or Wednesday before noon.]

THE WAY TO WORLD PEACE. I he diplomats of practically all the Latin American republics stationed in Washington, prominent members of the clergy and the laity, attended the annual Thanksgiving Day Solemn High Mass in St. Patrick's Church, at which the Most Rev. Michael J. Curley. Archbishop of Baltimore, presided. Hundreds thronged the old church, draped with the flags of the Latin American nations, to participate in the Mass pontificated by the Rt. Rev. Thomas J. Shahan, rector emeritus of the Catholic University of America, and to hear the Rt. Rev. Msgr. James H. Ryan. rector of the Catholic University, preach a sermon, pleading for a return to Christ as a means of realising world peace. Lining the three aisles of the church, cadets of St. John's College stood at attention throughout the Mass and presented arms at the Consecration when gongs were sounded.

Then, as I don't like all the trouble I've had, In future I'll try to prevent it; For I never am naughty without being sad, Or good --without being contented. WORDS OF WISDOM. Remember that when you get to a point in life where everything and everyone seem set against you, that God's hand is stretched out to you in closer friendliness than ever. In this world we lean on creatures, on works, on friends, on human comfort; but the soul, conscious of its weakness, sin, and guilt, must seek its healing at other springs. The world does not wish for one and the same thing. Each one wants something different. How fortunate it is that nature allows man to follow his own wishes. It is a great subject of praise to God, that one soul like St. Francis should have wrested so many others from the devil and should* have won such a large number to God. The reason so many souls who apply themselves to prayer are not at once inflamed with God's love is that they neglect to carefully prepare themselves for it. I want you to believe me, and be convinced, that nothing is so safe, nothing so secures us from going wrong, as to desire to be always ruled by others, and to obey their commands from the heart—St. Francis Xavier. If we are well with God, all is well with us, though the thickest darkness of adversity be round and about. If we are not well with Him, nothing is well with us, though the best and brightest of earth be at our feet.— Father Faber. Between those who are united in Our Lord Jesus Christ by the bonds of charity and by the desire to promote the honour and glory of God the most agreeable letters are those which the Holy Spirit engraves on their hearts by the prayers which they make for each other. THE SPIRITUAL ATTRACTION. But it is a still greater sign that we are making progress if we have a strong feeling on our minds that God wants something particular from us. We are sometimes aware that the Holy Spirit is drawing us in one direction rather than in another; that He desires some fault to be removed or some pious work to be undertaken. This is called by spiritual writers an attraction. Some have one persevering attraction all their lives long. With many it is so indistinct that they only realise n now and then; and not a few seem to he without any special drawing at all. -- Faber. ACCEPT—NOT REJECT.

The greatest security we can have in this world of being in the grace of God consists, not so much in sensible feelings of His divine love as in a firm resolution never to consent to any sin either great or small.—St Francis de Sales THE LITTLE FAULTS. We must take care of little faults; for he who once begins to go backward, and to make light of such defects, brings a sort of grossness over his conscience, and then goes wrong altogether—St. Philip Neri. THE ROAD TO LOVE. It is confidence and nothing but con. fidence that can lead us to love. Does not fear lead to that severe justice as it is represented by sinners? But that is not the kind of Justice Jesus has for those who love Him —The Little Flower.

A LOVER OF LITTLE CHILDREN.

MARY JUST/FIES OUR TRUST. The more we trust in Mary, the more she justifies that trust But it must be a trust accompanied by repentance, prayer, and good works; a trust expressed by zeal for her honour, by personal devotion towards her, and by heartfelt thanksgiving to Almighty God —Bishop Hedley.

WASTE NOT. To "overcome oneself" and to "lay out one's life without being biassed by any disorderly affection," come to one and the same thing. A "disorderly affection" is some liking or dislike, habitually gratified, which is noway reducible to the proper last end of life.— Father Rickarby, S.J. PRAISE BY attrATION. They who admire and praise the merits of the saints should imitate their manners. Either they ought to imitate if they praise, or they ought not to praise if they will not imitate: for we ourselves can be what they were and we can do what they did — St. John Chrysostom. THE CATHOLIC HOME. The first thing to remember about a Catholic home is that it should be a Christian home. Christ is its Model. Christ is its Master. Christ is its King. Christ is its Friend. What does that mean? It means that all in the home cught to know, first of all, what Our Lord wants them to do. and then that all should follow His directions. Christ instituted the home. He instituted the home for the sake of the family. A family is not a number of people in a house. A number of people can live together in a large house (like a hotel), or a small house (like a boarding-house), but that is not a family. A family means father and mother and children. Strangers do not belong to the family. Our Lord has commanded fathers and mothers and children to live together by themselves, and to treat each other in special ways. Unless the special ways an obeyed by all in the home we cannot say it is a Christian home. The Catholic Church has been appointed by Our Lord to teach people the way to make their home as He wishes. Every Catholic home really belongs to Our Lord. Therefore, every Catholic home should obey Him. . 5 Established 1594 'Phone 134141 •

The Priest's Vigil

A Miracle in Italy The Host and Monstrance of Canf anaro. In the village of Canfanaro, in the Province of Istria. Italy, the people are very impressed by and interested in a miracle which they believe to have taken place in the local church during Vespers on Christmas Day, when the AcBlessed Sacrament was exposed. cording to the Italian Press, the priest of the parish, Don Zelco, saw the Holy Face of Christ covered with blood and crowned with thorns. The Divine apparition was also seen by the children in the choir as well as by the faithful iii the church. Canfanaro is a small village with about 900 inhabitants, and in the Middle Ages it gave shelter to the people of Docastelli. a neighbouring town, which had been ravaged by barbarians and then stricken by pestilence. The inhabitants when taking refuge Canfanaro carried with them in precession sacred objects from their church, Santa Sophia. These objects are still in existence, and amongst them is the monstrance which was on the altar at Canfanaro on Christmas Day. In 1735 this monstrance disappeared from the tabernacle, where it was preserved, and it was discovered on the High Altar in the Church of Santa Sophia amongst the. ruins of Docastelli. Seventy years later the monstrance again disappeared from the church at Canfanaro, and was found at Docastelli—this time on a piece of fallen masonry from another church. Sant' Antonio, in the same locality.
