THE RECORD.
P REV OL IliTERNATIONAL EUCHARISTIC CONGRESSES. (Continued.) Madrid, 1911—Vienna, 1912. Devotion to the Blessed Eucharist was widespread in Spain before the "Reformers' cast the insult of their denials in the face of Jesus Hostia. And when the nations of Europe were torn between Faith and defection, can it be wondered that Spain held fast to the Hidden God? Spain had waited long for the privilege of acting as host at the triumph of the King, but when that privilege was acorded her, she gave to Him and to His followers a welcome truly royal. His Holiness the Pope, in appointing the Cardinal Archbishop of Toledo as his Legate, made several special recommendations with regard to the subjects to be discussed. In this he showed his reliance on the learning and fervour of Catholic Spain. The Congress was carried out with great splendour and organised to the last detail. Everyone, king and peasant. co-operated to make it a success. The Royal Progress accorded to the Host in procession, the homage of king and people, made clear to the world the devotion of Spain to the King and Lord of all. The year 1912 was declared in Austria a Eucharistic Year, in preparation for the Congress of Vienna. The Ern. peror Francis Joseph gave his whole, hearted support to the work of organo sation. All the members of the Royal family joined in welcoming Cardinal van Rossum, the Papal Legate. The Viennese. always quick to show appreciation, demonstrated their joy with their traditional enthusiasm. A profusion of talent was apparent in the multitude of papers read durSections ing the Congress meetings. were provided for each of the numet. ous peoples then incorporated in the Austrian Empire. as well as for French. Dutch. and Spanish Congressists. The Congress was 'worthily brought to a close amid the beautiful surroundings of the Queen city of the Danube with a splendour of ceremonial and setting greater than at any previous one. Malta, 1913—Lourdes, 1914. The island of Malta was evangelised by St. Paul: a prince of the island was consecrated Bishop by that same great soldier of Christ. and during nineteen centuries Malta has remained a stronghold of the Faith. It was the bulwark of Christianity on the MediFrom its fortress wafts terranean. many a ehather host has been hunted back in confusion.

Never did nation show such sterling Faith as was shown in Malta during the Congress of 1913. No Legate ever received a more enthusiastic welcome Amongst than did Cardinal Ferrata. the many discussions those that dealt with the immemorial devotion of the Maltese people to the Blessed Eucharist will be remembered best. The close of the Congress was one of the most spectacular on record. by reason of the profusion of fresh flowers showered everywhere and the splen-
Th, dour of the city illuminations. Sacred Host had been sheltered in Malta from the barbarous infidel in years gone by. It was made equally clear that Malta would shelter It in the midst of a material world. The Congress of Lourdes in 1914 marked the silver Jubilee of the International Eucharistic Congress movement. It had as its dominant purpose the extension of veneration for the Kingship of Christ. It was fitting that it should be held at the shrine of Our Lady, the first human being to bow down before the Majesty of that Kingship. The International character of the Congress was very marked, no fewer than eleven different sections being provided for Congressists speaking eleven different tongues. The leading orators and scholars of the various countries had been selected to discuss the subjects which the Holy Father had laid down. The Universal Church joined with the Congressists of Lourdes in doing homage to the King on the closing day. All lands simultaneously proclaimed Ilim Lord and King. Roms-1922. A t the Congress of Lourdes the Cardinal Legate had looked forward to the establishment of the reign of Christ the King in the hearts of all men. That hope was only partly realised. The King of Kings is also the King of Peace: yet within a few weeks from the day on which he spoke the words of peace, the greed of the materialists of Europe had plunged the For world into an insane conflict. years the world was in turmoil. When the actual carnage ceased the politi• dans met in conferences, Peace Conferences that could not achieve real peace but only passive suspicion. ;Only from one source could real peace spring.

Every aspect of the peace of Christ was considered in relation to the perpetual presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. The Congress of Rome was a great success, a real contribution to the peace Its achievement was of the world. the answer of Catholicity to the rapacity of the politicians and the ambitions of the diplomats. Rome of the Martyrs alone could teach forbearance to the nations. Rome of the Catacombs alone could teach For Rome alone is fidelity to ideals. the guardian of the earthly Presence of the King of all the suffering, the King of Peace.
Amsterdam-1924. ln 1924 the Congress was held at Amsterdam. Holland was ripe for the privilege of demonstrating to the world its Faith in Christ. The long-continued persecutions of the Church in the Netherlands by the Calvinists had bred a race of zealous Catholics who entered eagerly into the work of the Congress. The appointment of the Dutch Cardinal van Rossum as Legate was hailed with enthusiasm. His official re-eptIon was P. veritable triumph.

liberty of conscience and worship to all men, the Catholic Church has continued to increase within its borders until it has become a powerful factor in the life of the nation, a great force for good in the most modern of all modern States. America had granted a resting place to the God of the Eucharist when His Presence was denied and His people persecuted in many lands. The great t riumph of Chicago, over the very ground trodden centuries before by Father Marquette, pioneer and missionary, was America's reward for her sheltering of the hunted Catholics of Ireland and Great Britain. Exiles from many lands had found in the United States freedom to work and pray. And to Chicago came representatives from all these lands. Cardinals, Bishops. priests—to the Eucharistic hosting of the New World. The Congress of Chicago was a thank-offering for the benefits of the past and an augury of great hope for the future. The civil authorities, business groups and the general public of all creeds united in the preparatory work of organisation. Never was the representative of the Pope received with greater enthusiasm than that which greeted Cardinal Bonrano on his entry into " the most American of American cities." The Congress of Chicago was the greatest religious gathering the American Continent has ever seen.

THE RECORD.
Catholic Education
Catholic Russians in Paris Interior of Russian Church.
And Disabilities Suffered by Denominational Schools The Assisted School System was in force from 1871 to 1895. Under it, the lenominational schools received a per capita grant. The respective per capita grants pain to Government and assisted schools during those Years, were as follows:— Act of 1871:-.Government schools received £2 15s per head; Assisted Schools received £1 is 6d per head. Act of 1874--Government schools received £3 lOs per head; Assisted schools reecived fl 15s per head. Act of 1894—Government schools re. ceived £4 lOs per head; Assisted schools received £1 158 per head. It will be seen that up to 1894. Assisted Schools received exactly one half of the grant to Government Schools. In 1895, the grant to Assisted Schools ceased'. From 1871 to 1894. the total amount paid to Catholic Schools was £34.881, whilst during the same period buildings were erected and land bought to a total value of £47,000. The Catholic authorities at the time did not desire an alteration of the Assisted School System. The subsequent position was forced upon them. and they had to take a sum of £15,000, granted to them. This amount was paid as compensation for vested interests, which had grown up under the then existing law, and not for any future loss, which the Catholic Schools might suffer. If the latter were the case, history shows how utterly inadequate the amount was. With the great increase in population of the State since 1896, the number of children attending Catholic schools had increased proportionately. According to the last report of the Director of Education, the number of pupils attending private schools was 12,051 in 1928. From this has to be deducted 1900, in respect of non-Catholic private schools, and a number over 10,000 is left. If the grant had been continued. the Catholic schools, during liTA would have received £17,500—£2,500 more than the amount which in 1895, according to a few legislators, was supposed to compensate them for all time! From a careful perusal of the report of the Select Committee appointed. and the susequent proceedings in Parliament in 1895, the following conclusions must be drawn:1. That the amount of £15.000 was not accepted by the Catholic authorities as full compensation for the cessation of the per capita grant to Catholic Assisted Schools. 2. That the amount was paid as compensation in respect of vested interests, that had grown up under the Act of 1871. 3. That the Catholics favoured the continuation of the Assisted School System, and the compensation paid. was accepted without prejudice. 4. That the amount of £15,000 was not paid to compensate the Catholic community for future loss. The attitude of the Government. as a result of the Assisted Schools' Abolition Act of 1893, is that complete satisfaction has been given, and any requests made for consideration of assistance in any shape or form meet with the reply that, "it is against the .Art." Existing Disabilities as Result of Abolition Act. Since 1893, the Catholic community has continued to build, equip, and maintain its own schools, rather than eliminate Religious Doctrine from its system of education. These schools are subject to inspection by the State, for the purpose of being classed as "Efficient." The huge sacrifice made bv the Catholic people is clear when c onsideration is given to the cost 01 Education to the State, and the saving to the State. effected by Catholic schools. The report of the Education Department for the Year, 1928, shows that the cost per head in State Schools, on average attendance, was £10 18s 5d, and including Administration, £11 is 10d. By providing for 9,093 scholars during that year, the Catholic schools saved the State just under £164000. This sum in one year! In addition to this, the Catholic pop ulation, as a part of the general community, contributed its quota to the cost of State Education to the amount of more than a further £100,000. Till, is illustrated by the following figures: The net State expenditure, inclusive of Public Works expenditure on school buildings. during year ended 30th. June, 1928, was £763.413: representing £1 85, 11 Id. per head of population. Treat• ing the Catholic people as one-fifth of
total population, gives us the startling figure of £152,682. Some idea of the result of the discrimination exercised under the Act is conveyed when details of facilities extended to State school pupils, and denied to private school pupils, are examined. Transport. The Department, with the a-cap-royal of the Minister, makes grants to local committees in the country, for the conveyance of children to school, between the ages of 6 and 16, provided the parent does not enjoy a net income of over 1400. In practise, this provides a motor car or char-abanc which, in travelling along a road, picks up the State school child, and leaves the Catholic child to walk, although there may be plenty of room in the car/ On the Railways in the metropoli tan area, pupils attending the nearest State school travel free, and pupils travelling past one State school to attend another, obtain tickets on following rates: 1 to 7 miles, Is per month; to 12 miles, 2s per month; 13 to 20 miles, 2s 6d per month; over 20 miles, half pupil season ticket rates. Similar concessions are available on the Government trams. The Education Department pays Is. and the balance, if any, is paid 'by the pupil—so that the pupil travelling 7 miles, still travels free. Other pupils pay quarter Ti } ordinary season ticket rates up to 18 years of age, and over 18 years, half rates. The effect is as follows: A State pupil from Midland, attending school in Perth lafter passing Sixth Standard, for the completion if educationl, pays Is. per month, with no age limit. A pupil from Midland attending Christian Brothers' College, or any )ther Denominational school. pays 4/6 per month, up to IS, and 13s. over 18 (half ordinary season ticket rates). deasparbens. In glancing at some other countries, we find:1. That in England, a Dual System exists of Provided and Non-Provided Schools. The Catholic Body erects its own schools. but when built, the State maintains them and pays the staff. The Education Grant is applied- equally. to all Schools and Staffs. 2. In Scotland. Presbyterian and Cdtholic Boards control their own schools. Both are equally provided for in the State Grants. 3. In Canada. an Education Tax is divided proportionately between the different Denominations. The tax is paid to the Heads of the Churches. who are then obliged to run their own School System. 4. In Lutheran Holland. the Catty). lies also receive their due proportion of State Revenue and support Australia. which prides itself on the maxim of "playing the game." is the only country in the Empire, and practically in the civilised world, which closes its eyes to a palpable injustice being done to one section of the community. It is desirable that the public of W.A. should be conversant with the disabilities under which Catholist Schools labour. Any fair-minded Australian. becoming aware of the position, must be convinced of the injustice done by his own country, in this question of Edu caticii, and be prepared to assist in setting right the long-standing wrong SOUTH AFRICAN DISCOVERIES. Statements made in the South African Press suggest the existence in South-West Africa of ruins bigger than those of Zimbabwe, the unsolved riddle of Rhodesia. They are south of Gobahis. on the banks of what was once apparently a tributary of the Nosob River. They are said to be in a better state of preservation than those of Zimbabwe, owing to the fact that they have been covered intermittently with defert sand, probably for long periods. The view is advanced that the Gobabis ruins belonged to a city which was a link in the transcontinental trade in diamonds. rubies.

Catholic visitors to Paris (says the -Irish Catholic") may be interested in the fact that there is a Russian Catholic colony and a Russian Catholic church in the older tection of that city, over on the "left bank'---the Church ot the Holy Trinity, at 10 Avenue de la Soeur Rosalie, near the Place d'Italie. This corner in Paris is a veritalbe bit of Old Russia, with the congregation of many representatives of the older aristocrats, with its native decorations and its famous Russian choir music. Sunday Mass is at 10.30 o'clock. Saturday evening vespers are a feature at 5.45 o'clock. It is the Russia of the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth centuries, for during this period Russia was in communion with the Holy See—before the great Schism. Monsignor Alexandre Evreinoc, a former member of the Russian diplomacy. a Catholic priest, is in charge, uri the title of Archimendrite and Prot taire Apostolique. The late lamer . Cardinal Dubois gave this church ..: special protection, and presided at the first patronal feast of the church. At the close of his discourse on this memorable occasion he warmly congratulated "these Catholic sons of a 11 Russia." The exterior of the little church simple aspect, but the interior has painted by some of the tic' R". artists in Paris, and rergnational characteristics: t and their sconces of painted oak. the icons, beautiful examples of ancient Russian art—these casings encased in silver relief. The screen of iconostase is hung with the paintings of icons, and separates the faithful .from the priest when he enters the Royal Door, at a certain part of the Mass, the door which is in the centre of this screen. The two large icons on each side of this door are encased in silver. The one facing the beholder on the right represents Christ with the Book of the Gospels open in His Hand. and the one on the left is a painting of Our Blessed Lady with the Divine Infant The service conforms to the Greco Slav rite; the liturgy is the same as that used by St. John Chrysostom. When one visits Rome and views the ancient churches. notably that of St. Cecilia's in Trastevere, one is shown that part of the church where the catechumens were dismissed until after the solemn part of the Mass, and following that ancient custom, the celebrant of the Mass, according to the Byzantine rite. passes through the Royal Door and celebrates that part in secret. In a loud, sonorous voice he pronounces the words of the Consecration, and then emerges to give Holy_ Communion to the faithful under two forms. The f ercour is very great in this little sanctuary of exile. Here the congregation prays every Sunday not only for their poor, martyred country so far a way. hut also for Our Holy Father. with gratitude because he has given them his spiritual assistance and protection.

Chief Justice Congratulates. Informatiai was conveyed beforehand to the Chief Justics (Sir Philip Street) of the proposed celebration of the Red Mass, and his Honour warmly congratulated the organisers and applauded their object. After the Mass, Father Bartlett read the following message of his Grace A rchbishop Sheehan: "Through this Votive Mass to-day. the Catholic members of the legal profession of Sydney unite in proclaiming their faith in the Holy Spirit of God as the Giver of all those gifts whereby man is made conscious of his eternal destiny, and is endowed with the strength to achieve it. "They lay before Him the homage of their adoration and love; and, with profound humility, they profess their willingness to be guided by His gracious inspiration. They beseech Him to be with them all through this year, so that they may never swerve from the narrow path of rectitude, truthfulness. and honour; and so that, while striving for justice among men, they may with equal earnestness strive for peace and reconciliation. "These petitions of theirs, in themselves so weak and ineffectual, they place in the Hands of Jesus our Saviour, the Priest and Victim of the Mass, confident that He will make them His own, and present them at the throne of the Divine Majesty with all the boy,. of His Sacred Heart.

Plea , Alflares, and godets are all in Use. though many of the new winter frocks flare from the hip-line, in others may be found a variety of pleats. Fancv pleatings are being revived, double tiers of box-pleating, and all round pleated skirts. Tunic blouses are quite a distinctive feature of the winter fashions. There is a return of the Russian blouse. The blouse is not now considered to be only a dress accessory: it is now a necessary adjunct of any dress.

Wool lace material is also popular. Smart little sports frocks are fashioned of it in wool-green and royal blue. Small shoulder capes are much in evidence, especially on sleeveless ainner gowns; but this style is more suitable for a matronly figure. Many evening gowns reflect the early Victorian ages, but V-neck lines will always be popular. A new feature is to have the evening slippers matching the colour of the beads and gems worn. and this idea looks very effective with a white gown. Necklaces of beads, pearls, or shaped stones are still popular. A new colour in gloves can only be described as a deep, dusty pink, and it is considered to be the correct colear for evening wear for sleeveless or dim ner frocks.

Another distinguished French soldier has passed away, in the person of General Berthelot, who died on January 30. Our readers probably know that he had to submit to an amputation of his left leg. The nurses in the nursing home were much impressed by his fine character and by his anxiety during his illWhen ness to avoid giving trouble. the doctor told the general that it was necessary to have his leg amputated, the famous soldier answered: "Do what Whenever anyone you have to do. has said to me there must be sacrifice. I have always replied: let it be." ihis general never once .complained. Those about him were surprised at his absence of complaint, and the nurses told The latter said in their patient so. answer: "When one has made a sacrifice it is finished. My silence surprises you. but I admire Your devotion to duty: yet you don't talk about it nor complain of Your work. Why should I complain?" The moment General Berthelot -entered the nursing home, he said: "I wish to die like Foch and joffre. so I want to make a good confession" This he did on January 11 to the Abbe Girnud. Vicar of Saint Jean Baptist, at Grenelle, who also administered t.xtreme Unction. General Berthelot revived a little and received Holy Communion on January 12. but the end As he lay dycame on January 30. ing, his lips were moving as if he prayed, and he kissed the crucifix. General Berthelot was born at Feurs. Loire. France, in 1861. He was trained for military service at Saint Cyr. which he left in 188.3. He had a brilliant military career; during the Great War he took part in the siege of Verdun. but he is specially famed for his services in Roumania, where he reorganised the army according to French methods. The people of Roumania have a very grateful memort- for what the general did for their country. He was also present at the second battle of the Marne. General Berthelot was remarkable for his fidelity to duty, and was the possessor of a strong character. He was a conscientious, hard-working, persevering soldier, somewhat silent in manner :very modest and retiring, he did not seek honour or glory. He was a splendid leader. May he rest in peare.--"Trish Catholic"

CHURCH AND SCHOOL BUILDER DEAD. The diocese of Derry has lust an L • ergetic and scholarly priest by the death of Rev. William Doherty, P.P., Buncrana, which occurred recently. He had been unwell for some weeks, but his passing was unexpected, and caused general regret. As administrator in Long Tower, Derry, and as parish priest qf Buncrana, he won distinction as a builder of churches and schools. He rebuilt Long Tower Church and the fine schools connected with it, and to him, also, goes much of the credit for the completion of Nazareth House. When he was appointed to Buncrana he undertook the task of providing new schools, and Wilt an oratory of.striking architectural design. This building, dedicated to St. Columba, wa< completed last year.

THE RECORD.
Assailants of the Dogma of Infallibility
ing it amidst a clergy and people devoted to the Holy See. Here it may be asked why if the conclusion of infallibility was so evident so many able men failed to recognise it. It may be answered, in the first place. that the same fact was in evidence before every previous definition; and, secondly, that faith is not merely an act of the understanding, but also An Act of the Will, and that spiritual promises were not promised to the men of great intellect but to men of good-will. It is not for us to judge of the characters of those opposed to infallibility, but it is pertinent to refer to a text: "Thou hast hidden these things from the wise and prudent and hast revealed them to little ones." (Luke xi., 211. But the one argument which the Catholic opponents of infallibility could not gainsay was the definition itself of infallibility. Bossuet was the great defender of the infallibility of the Episcopate as a body—no Catholic could hold otherwise—which was only another expression for the infallibility of the Church. But now The Infallible Episcopate Defined the I nfallible Pope. For all who were Catholics it was the end. Dollinger still held out, and b.: doing so was no longer a Catholic. A few others followed him, but not one Bishop. When the Council was over, 750 Bishops returned to their Sees and pro claimed Papal infallibility, and so on.stone more was added to the temple of shadowed definition on the part or Catholic truth. Much of the opposition to the foreshadowed definition on the part of States arose from an unfounded apprehension of its political consequences, and much of it to a rear lest the desire of an aggressive section might be realised, and an exaggerated definition be formulated. But when the definition appeared, carefully limiting the scope of infallibility and guarding it against possible abuse. all Catholics at least saw its best justification in the fait accompli. Attention should be drawn to the fact that the Episcopate were losing everything and gaining nothing by the definition. They made it clear that The Bishop of Rome was Alone Infallible, and they only in union with him. Nothing, surely, but conscience could have prompted their suffrages, and yet one of your correspondents makes his own the rather contemptible suggestion of Dr. Coultnn, that the support of the Bishops in partibus infidelium was given for a pecuniary return.
I cannot possibly ask for further space to answer certain statements of Let me only our correspondents. say in conclusion, that at the root ot their mistaken notions generally is the fact that they failed to take account of the explicit and implicit faith of the Church, as well as its co-relative-the development of Christian doctrine. When they realise that Divine faith is not a stone but a seed, then they may come to assent to what I have tried, however imperfectly, to explain.

Those Councils only drew certain conclusions from premises which were defined, and added the conclusions to the explicit teaching of the Church. The new definitions were not bolts from the blue, but crystallisations of the floating and indefinite beliefs of the Church. Clearly, the crystallisation could not have taken place if the implicit faith had not provided the raw material.

Around the Catholic World UNION OF CATHOLIC MEN. A thousand Catholic university men of various degrees, among them State officials, scientists, lawyers, and educators, have joined in founding a Union of Catholic University Men in Austria, to assert in a better way the Catholic conception of the world by means of organised forces. The union is regarded as a symptom of the gratifying change which has _taken place in Austria, especially within the last decade. At the close of the last century Catholics were seldom to be found in the higher sections of the intellectual professions. In a Catholic population physicians and lawyers of Catholic conviction were lacking, and ecclesiastical institutions were obliged to engage the services of doctors and lawyers, who though Catholic in name, had never been baptised. A BRAVE NUN. A nun, Sister Teresa Augusta, of the Hospital at Fleury-lesaubrais, France, has been decorated with a silver medal for her bravery during a recent fire in the institution. At the peril of her own life, this brave Sister saved the lives of six other nuns of her comniunity. NERO'S VILLA. T he remains of a ,house belonging to the villa of Nero have come to light during excavations made near the lighthouse at Anzio. on the coast south of Rome. The building is described as a luxurious dwellinghouse, the older portions of which are ascribed by the authorities to the Republican epoch. The portions belonging to the "Nerothan" period may be distinguished by the peculiar structure of the walls, while there are evidences that further structural alterations were made in the fourth century A.D. Excavations made to the left of the lighthouse show the existence of other Roman construction, probably a public building. Remains are to be seen of rich interior decoration, composed of columns, marble panels, and splendid mosaic pavements. These pavements all date to various epochs. HOLY FATHER AND A RULER.
MOSLEM
One of the most powerful rulers Morocco, Caid el Glaoui, a Moslem Pasha of Marrakech, in recognition of his generous gifts to missionary work of charity, has been sent a medal by the Holy Father. The presentation was made by Monsignor Vielle, Bishop The following reply by of Morocco. the Caid is a noble tribute to the missionaries of the Church, and shows the greatness of his mind. Thanking the Bishop, the Caid said: "There are those among men who hold the key to peace and happiness, but there are, alas, those also who hold the key to disunion and unhappiness. You missionaries, wherever you work for the glory of God, carry the key of peace and happiness. I number you among my greatest friends. I give my hearty thanks to the great Pope of Rome for the very precious gift with which he has been pleased to honour me. T send him my best wishes for his- happiness. I may not pray for him: he is so far above all religious and so near to God. It is he who must deign pray for me." DECLARED TO BE "LEGALLY" DEAD. Father John A.

The booklet, The date of printing of which is given as October, 1930, has a "foreword" signed by John H. Cowles, Grand Commander of the Scottish Rite Supreme Council. In it ?.Ir. Cowles declares the material contained in the booklet is published "without comment or desire for controversy." It adds: "These divergent views are clearly set forth, and nothing more important can engage the attention and action of everyone who has the interests of our country at heart." Following the foreword are extracts from preambles. resolutions and declarations of the Scottish Rite Supreme Council ot the Southern Jurisdiction of the United States, adopted at a session in Dallas.

ASTROLOGERS GULL NATIVES. The witch doctor in Zululand now has a formidable competitor in astrologers, who for a small fee, generally five shillings, offer the credulous naThe tives a reading of the future. Dutch have developed an extensive mail order business in horoscopes, ann thousands of pounds are being sent to Holland every year, so widespread has the craze become. European "Prbfessors of Astrology" are also doing a thriving business locally. The natives implicitly believe what they are told by the "astronomers," as they call them, and if they happen to receive a gloomy reading they lose all interest in life and abandon themselves to the fate predicted for them. There is great jealousy among the superstitious Zulus should one of their number receive a fortunate horoscope. The new craze is having a thoroughly demoralising effect, arid the authorities are giving the matter their attention with a view to curbing the activities of those trading on the credulity of the natives. though it is difficult to check the traffic in horoscopes by 'post. SITES OF OLD awnsn an. With the object of uncovering further remains in a cemetery found near the ancient Jewish city of Belt Netopha, south of Jerusalem. Dr. Meizler, German Jewish archaeologist, who has been specialising in excavations of ancient tombs around the Holy City in the last few years, recently received a Government license to dig near "Ramat Rachel." The latter is the site of the Jerusalem Jewish Labour Commune, where two interesting ossuaries of the Roman period recently were found. The discovery of the ossuaries was accidental, and was made while a foundation was being dug for a new labour encampment to replace the wooden barracks which were burned down in the 1929 riots. One ossuary, in perfect condition, was of Palestine marble. Both contained skeletons. QUIT TOO SOON. L. S. Patterson, an American fanner. who lived near Ciudad Obregon. purchased an old mine, La Fronteriza from a Syrian. Felipe de Iza, and went to work looking for gold. After six months' hard labour and when all his money was gone, he decided to quit. lie paid ha a sum to cancel his contracts. and the Syrian took the mine back, Patterson returning to the United States a month ago. ha, curious to see how much work Patterson had done, went to the mine and, pecking at a rock with a small hammer, rhs covered a vein of gold which is paving off at the rate of £400 a ton.

Vatican City Railroad Smallest in the World. The smallest railroad in the world will soon be inaugurated at the Vat:' can City. It is the Pope's own railroad, on which he can journey to the outside world and on which Cardinals or heads of State or Papal representatives can enter the Vatican City. Only 600 feet long, it has double tracks, several switches, and a big railroad station that would do justice to a railroad 600 miles long. A hundred or more workmen have been busy since last April constructing the "line" in back of St Peter's. They have dug a 300-foot tunnel into the Vatican Hill. It will be used as the "yard" of the railroad, and in. it locomotives and cars, including the Pope's special train, will be kept and trains made up. A beautiful pollcentric arch has been built at the spot where the railroad enters Vatican City. It carries two gates of iron and bronze. The station for its size is one of the most beautiful in the world. It is built in travertine stone of a soft rose colour. It is 189 feet long, which be used as the "salone d'onore." or rt ception room for august visitors. The station will not be called upon to ban. die much passenger traffic. The railroad is not destined to carry ordinary passengers. hut merely the Pope himself, Papal Nuncios to foreign countries, visiting Cardinals, Bishops and Nuncios. The road will do a modest freight business, as foodstuffs and merchandise will come into Vatican City directly. In accordance with the Lateran treaties, no duty will have to be paid on these goods. A great effort has been made to prevent the modern garishness of a railroad from coal( • ing with the architectural treasures Vatican City, softened by centur:The Vatican Hill, into which the tutnel has penetrated, has been ornamented with fountains, and landscape archi tects have turned it into a garden si •

After Mass the guests were treated to a Communion breakfast, at which the Rev. Father McKay presided. In the evening the ex -students and oT the Convent were the guests riends f of the Sisters at a concert, dance and dainty supper. The concert was very nicely arranged, and was enjoyed by a large and appreciative gathering. After the entertainment visitors were ushered into the Convent courtyard, where supper was served. During the repast Mr. Alex Angelo rose and congratulated the Sisters on reaching the silver anniversary of their coming to the district on behalf of ex-pupils, old residents, and friends of the nuns. He spoke of the magnificent work perform ed, not only for Carnarvon, but for the people of the whole of the NorthHe said that Carnarvon was West. the Oxford or Cambridge of this part of the State. He, all parents and ex. pupils were extremely grateful for what the Sisters had done for them. Con. eluding, he asked all present to stand and drink to the health and prosperity of the nuns, that they may be spared many years to continue their great work SO well accomplished during the last quarter-century. After reading apologies and extracts from several letters received from varions parts of the State, Mr. John Skipworth, an ex-pupil, presented on behalf of the past and present pupils and friends a bowl of new silver coins amounting in the sum of £28, Before responding for the Presentation Sisters, the Rev. Father McKay said that he had to apologise for the unavoidable absence of His Lordship Bishop O'Collins, but on his part and that of the priests of the Diocese of Geraldton, he sincerely congratulated the Sisters. He expressed the. delight and satisfaction of His Lordship with the magnificent work done during the past 25 years, under such adverse conditions, and he imparted a verve cordial blessing Responding for the Sisters, he thanked all ex-pupils and friends for the handsome gift and also for the kindness especially of the older residents shown to them during their long stay in Carnarvon. They trusted that God would give them health and strength to render further service to Him and the people of the north for mans- years.

CLUNE, Archbishop of Perth. THE ALTAR-HOME OF GOD. As the Blessed Eucharist is Jesus Christ, we must adore It with the deepest reverence. We pray to Jesus Christ hidden under the Sacramental veils of he appearances of bread to thank Him for His many benefits and to ask Him r the graces of which we stand in need. God said to Moses: "I will set up My tabernacle in the midst of you, and I shall be your God, and you shall be My people." It can be truly said of a tabernacle , if a Catholic Church in which the Blessed Sacrament is reserved that christ has set up His tabernacle in the A Church in midst of His people. which the Blessed Sacrament is reserv, cl is the House of God in the fullest meaning of the term, for Christ our King, who reigns in the highest Heaven, also lives in a church where the Blessed Sacrament is reserved as truly .is His people live in their homes He is there all through the busy hours of t he day and the silent hours of night. It is His intense love for us that causes Him thus to dwell amongst us. ''My delights are to be with the chilFrom His altar home dren of men." we may well imagine Him calling up to its: "Come to Me all You that labour and are heavy laden and I will refresh My Child, give Me thy you. . . . heart." He welcomes us when we visit Him in the church, and it is a beautiful Catholic practice to make visits to Him in His Sacramental home from time to time. When visiting the Blessed Sacrament, we can speak to Jesus as a friend to his best friend, for He hears us. and is pleased when we come to Him to consult Him in our difficulties and place before Him our sorrows and joy s ,Thr difficultic, and trials

"Why Bring That Up?" in this issue we publish part of a pamphlet outlining the financial disabilities under which the Catholics in this State are at the moment suffering, because of their faith in the religious school, and their refusal to accept the secular training which the State oilers to their children. Here is a statistical statement that defines the extent of the injustice which we have suffered, and continue to suffer. The Catholic demand for equal pay for equal work done is so obviously fair, that Governments, no matter whit their hue be, are reduced to subterfuges that an errant school-boy would blush to use. Successive Ministers of Education have endeavoured to parry our advances by sending us back to the supposed settlement which was forced upon Bishop Gibney. That fictitious bubble is now burst, and if future Ministers of Education resurrect it to mark time and in order to evade an issue that they cannot honestly face, let us keep this statement well in mind.
Catholics do not
ask, and never will ask, for a bronze penny from non-Catholic citizens for the teaching of religion. .They ask, and have the right to ask, that as they pay their share towards the education of the State. an adequate return should flow back into their own schools in the form ..of financial recognition for the work of the State. done according to State requirements, and measured by State standards of efficiency, which our Catholic schools have done and continue t o do, in secular subjects. •
• We are inclined to write boisterously about this educational bone that our politicians wish buried deep down; but some restraint must be observed in our editorial column. Some of our o wn people grow restless when we mention that we are unjustly treated. The politicians on both sides, who are members of our Faith, borrow that ejaculation which those incomparable funmakers have made current coin the world over—"Whv bring that up?" Were the politicians the only ones to be considered, we should echo that sentiment quite heartily. What a nasty taste that word, politics, now leaves in one's mouth! We have shed that innocence that would lead us to hope for anything from the m ere politician—except promises. "Then why bring that up?" W e bring it up. and we counsel our people to continue bringing it up until we convince our fellow-citizens of a fact that has not penetrated so far into the body politic, to merit the name of an opinion that is public. The fact, carefully set out in the statement in this issue, is that we save the people of this State over £100,000 annually, by building and maintaining our own schools. Were it not of the Catholic schools, the education tax would have to furnish another huge sum that can only be found in the pockets of the citizens of the State. Raise that cry, in season and out of season, and gradually our case will reach the homes of the people, who will see for the first time that Catholics have been treated unjustly. S.
•
Is it too much to hope that our State may raise tip some one leader who will ambition statesmanship instead of politics, by grasping the standard of Catholic claims in education, and carry It forward into the' counsels of the politicians. England has demonstrated that such men still live. Some Catholic Labour members led the attack that eventually defeated the recent Educational Bill. because Catholic demands in eibu ation were not honoured. Is there a Daniel in W.A. that is big enough for this big task?
"The Liturgy is certainly a sacred thing. Through it we are raised to God and are united to Him The faithful come to the sacred places oi worship to draw piety from its chief source by active participation in the Eucharistic Sacrifice. It is really necessary that the faithful should not assist at the sacred ceremonies like outsiders or mute spectators."—Pope Pius XI. Answer the call of the Pope. Learn to use a Missal at Mass.

This year's celebrations of the day will concentrate on a concert of unusual attractiveness, to be held that evening at His Majesty's Theatre, at 8 p.m. We publish the unique programme elsewhere. A glance at the items will testify to the able organisation of the small committee that ha gathered into one programme so many well-known artists, and such a variety of numbers. It will be an Irish concert, drawing from the rich store of Gaelic music the old gems that have moved lovers of song the world over. and whose appeal grows mellower am. Sweeter with the years. Erin of the tear and the smile will pour forth her melodies on next Tuesday evening, to delight and charm those fortunate enough to be present. The next issue of "The Record" will be a special St. Patrick's Day Number. We request our readers to order whatever extra copies they may need. Many feature articles will paint that great Apostle of the Gael in colours that glow with the reverence and love of his spiritual children during the past 1,500 years. What a span of years to capture and hold the fickle hearts and straying minds of men! Since the Easter of 432, when Patrick the Apostle landed on Irish soil, the name and fame of St. Patrick has grown with the advancing years, until to-day his spiritual children cover the old and new lands with the emblems of the Faith he brought to them.

From the Vatican City State February II is to be observed as a public holiday throughout Italy, commemorating the signing of the Lateran Treaty and Concordat, on February II, 1929. A Friend of Benedict XV, Prince Ruffo della Scaletta, the new Minister of the Order of Malta to the Holy See, has presented his Credential Letters to the Pope, with the usual ceremonial. Prince Rugo was a very intimate friend of Pope Benedict XV.. and it was that Pope who performed his marriage ceremony in the Vatican shortly after his election as Pope. As Cardinal Archbishop of Bologna he had promised to officiate, and becoming Pope in the meanwhile, he kept his promise in the Vatican.

A company of the Swiss Guards was drawn up across the gateway beyond which—in Ttalv—a great crowd gathered.

Bishop Urges all Priests to Foster Catholic Press In a message to all the clergy of the United States, urging them to foster the Catholic Press, Bishop Boyle, episcopal chairman of the Press department of the National Catholic Welfare Conference, declares that "we shall lack a thoroughly Catholic-minded people so long as the mentality of Catholics is moulded in other quarters by the news, and the opinions on the news, which they read there." -The days are perilous," says Mgr. Boyle, "and minds and minds and hearts and souls are in danger of corruption and of death. "The traditional profound san. ity of Catholics is not proof against all shocks. It needs the sustaining influence of Catholic truth developed and applied to a consideration of the vital and dis. turbing news and opinions that grow like fungi upon the rottenness of pagan views of life.

Manari on the new organ. The Pope later visited the sacristy and from there passed to the Convent of the Franciscan Missionaries of Mary, who are in charge of the Vatican tapestries. After leaving the Convent, and having been greeted by the persons present, the Holy Father went off in 'his car towards the Gardens. On the afternoon of Sunday a solemn "Te Deum" for the anniversary was sung in the Cathedral of Rome, St. John Lateran's. The Cardinal Vicar o fficiated, and the Papal Court, the Dipmatic Corps and all the principal prelates of Curia had special places in the Sanctuary. The vast Basilica was thronged, and the hymns of thanksgiving rose from thousands of lips to thank God for haying given to His Church so great a Pontiff.—"The Universe."

In his panegyric, Archbishop Downy said: "He stood for that manly independence, that directness of dealing, that fearless courage which stamped him as a typical North country man, racy as his native soil. There was nothing of the pedant about him. His Latin quotations were of the warp and woof of his ordinary speech, and his learning never trammelled his delightful sense of humour.

L Out of the Metal-Pot
Father James Delaney, spiritual d'rector of the Pittsburgh Branch of the Holy Name Society, speaking under the auspices of the Pittsburg (USA.) Circle, International Federation of Catholic alumnae, recently inaugurated a series of weekly broadcasts on "Worthwhile Motion Pictures." In these addresses, the lecturer gives the names of the pictures, commending the good and condemning the bad. There was a cluttering amongst theatre managers. and theatrical interests protested vehemently to Father Delaney and those sponsoring his talks, and finally carried the protest to the radio station itself. Wireless is being used to broadcast some very doubtful propaganda on occasions, and there comes no protest to the stations, but when a moralist seeks to direct the public mind towards the cleaner things in a city's recreations, such is the vicious modern urge of managers of play-houses to pander to the coarser palates of si eiety, that immediately they are opposed they feel an outrage has been done to their liberties. The imps of the under-world are stirred up against the promoters of the decencies of broadcasting, and a hubbub is raised. Scienc has given the world a great utility in wireless, and the Church will make it an auxiliary to the pulpit to spread abroad to all men the principles of the moral law. If there is something wrong in the art of film-making, something that cannot bear the fierce light o f public censorship, then it must be amended—the movies must not be made a close preserve for degenerates and unclean minds.
A certain weekly, noted for serving up scandal for the delectation of a certain kind of reader, recently harked back to a shameful novel by Emile Zola, which attacked the miracles of Lourdes. The work might well have been left in the limbo of lies into which it had been thrust We rTO not intend dealing with the article in detail (says a South African contemporary), but single out the case of Marie Lebranchu known to the readers of Zola's "Lourdes" as "Ida Grivotte." We quote from an eminent authority, Dr. A. Marchand, President of the Medical Bureau of Lourdes:— "Marie Lebranchu. of Paris, the child of consumptive parents, who died of Consumption, was herself a consump tive. The gravity and incurability of She her .disease was incontestable. had been treated by many doctors ti no effect. For months she had bee:'. bedridden, and wa” in the last stage of phthisis: there was spitting of blood, pus, and tubercle bacilli in the sputum. On her arrival at Lourdes. in August, 1892, because of her weak• ness, they hesitated to immerse her in the Piscine. At her earnest request she was allowed to take the baths. and there and then she was radically and completely cured. Zola followed her to the Medical Bureau and assisted at the official discussion made by twenty doctors, who testified to the sudden disappearance of all lesions in the lungs.Zola's pretence that his heroine died after her journey from Lourdes is an absolute falsehood. Marie Lebranchu married, and did not die in 1592 but on 11th, August. 1920, 95
years after her cure The sudden cure ot mane Lebrancnu-s tuberculosis lesions was as supernatural in its persistence as in its instantaneity. The cure was absolutely definite, for it stood the test of time. Federal Treasury figures for eight months ended on February 28, are far from encouraging, notwithstanding the pressure of taxation upon the people. The anticipations of the Treasurer have not been half realised. The revenue has fallen away to jiggery. To balance the Bullgets, the service is being combed and re-combed, and unemployment has been added to. It does not seem to strike our legislators that every addition to unemployment is a loss to revnue and new fuel thrown on the fires of discontent already becoming more than vocal throughout the Commonwealth. With all the eloquent mouthings of the Opposition, and the soulful tiaclarations of the Government, the drift continues, because no real effort, not any tangible effort, has been made to halt the drift. True the Government has clapped on more taxation as its only constructive method of dealing with the situation. From time immemorial that has been the habit of spendthrift monarchs, unscrupulous landlords, and incompetent administrators. Figures talk, at least the figures of a Treasurer talk, if you care to examine them. The Canberra figures for March 10 reveal that our purchases abroad have fallen more than half below the estimate for the year. That means that we are becoming more interested in the products of our own country. The income tax returns for the year must show a big drop. The wider the fieldr of unemployment the more attenuated will be the returns from income. Unless the Federal Government and the Stave Governments show results within the near future, stagnation and starvation will follow rapidly their hesitation, ineptitude. and want of inspiration and wisdom to see a way through the present economic fog. There are so many statesmen making the air throb with their objections to the Scullin Government, that it is remarkable not one them have so far produced a plan to restore prosperity to the country from which they draw emoluments for cushSoon the nation will be ioned jobs. on the dole, and he will then be an optimistic Treasurer who can see revenue in paupers.

IMPRESSIONS OF CLEVELAND A RIVAL TO FORD'S DETROIT (By MISS NORMA PARKER, M.A.) The following interesting account comes from Miss Norma Parker, MA., who with Miss Connie Moffat, M.A., went to Washington over two years ago. and there graduated in the National At present both Westralian gradCatholic Social Service School. uates are working as social service experts in Los Angeles:— For the past few months Cleveland has been our home. Cleveland • differs from New York or Washington, and is in fact probably closer to the real America. Its chief claim to distine. tion would se, n lie in the fat it is the infhl . capital of F or so the radio .6 nouncers tells us from the Cleveland stations each morning, and as a result of being told so Miss N. Parker. day in and day out, every Clevelander holds this It is a as quite beyond dispute! city of chimney stacks blazing furnaces, trailing smoke, ugly industrial plants of a dingy uniform grey, and curiously enough of beautiful homes, too, stretching along the shore of Lake Erie, and extending back into lovely residential sections. Cleveland is a city of a million, but it carries its bigness quietly, and wears The down-town seca suburban air. tion, dominated by the new Terminal Tower, the railway station, is businesslike and noisy with traffic. The tower rises a slender finger seven hundred feet into the sky, and is to be glimpsed from all over the city, forming part of At night, flooded a hundred vistas. with bright lights, it becomes a fairy thing. It is the heart of the city. But the business section ends within three blocks to each side of it, and then the street cars travel through rather quiet streets of suburban homes of all degrees of respectability and comfort. There is no hint of the congestion so typical of New York. and there are few of the large apartment houses which make Washiogton an apartment city. Cleveland is fortunate in having a gully, the low lying bed of the Cuyahoga River, where many of the hugest industrial plants are placed. This is spanned by numberless bridges, and is a hive of ceaseless activity. Some of America's largest steel concerns are here--and these come into their full glory by night. Then, gazing down on the valley from one of the bridges, you see the masses of flame leaping forth and glowing in the sky; and should there be clouds lying low, these take on for miles around the most beau-Uful and weird burnished copper Then with the black smoke hue. stawks of the gully outlined in the light of the flames, the scene loses completely its drear ugliness, and takes on a fantastic beauty. It is not a pretty object by day. though after a week or so in Cleveland, one loses consciousness of the smoke-laden atmosphere. and it comes as a shock to look back from one of the villages farther out on the lake shore and see a city with its head in a murky cloud--Cleveland with its pall of smoke! This is another of U.S.A.'s great foreign cities, with a little Germany, a little Hungary, a little Italy, and a goodly mixture of Poles, who are in the majority Russians, Yugo-Slays, Czechs. AustrianFt Croatians, and Ulcranians. The foreign sections, however. lack the picturesque touches with which New York is so lavish. The immigrants who come to Cleveland are a more hardy bunch. New York, being the port of entry. is apt to be the dumping ground of the most unfit, and one does not find in Cleveland quite such a squalor or quite such devastating poverty. The most interesting features in connection with the foreign population are the various national churches. The city is studned with Greek or Polish churches, and many of other nationalities: and often these have accompanying schools. The policy of national schools is the basis Most of the van for much argument oils national groups have been in their favour and have built them so that we have the spectacle in Cleveland, presumabl- an American city of the Mid-
dle West, a Polish school, where all classes are conducted in Polish. Of recent years there has been' a very definite movement away from such a situation, as most Americans feel that it is essential that the great foreign groups in their midst be assimilated, and that the retention of distinctions in customs and language by the children should be discouraged. The city extends along the shore of Lake Erie, but one isn't very conscious of the Lake, not to anything like the extent that one is conscious of the Swan in Perth. Many Clevelands, it would seem, live and die without any knowledge of the lake, beyond the fact of its existence. There are three or four beautifully kept public parks, e xtending to the edge of the lake, but for the most part this frontage is private property. Cleveland's most beautiful residences string themselves out along its edge with grounds funning to a private beach, or more often to the edge of the cliff, for the largest part of the shore is steep. , Often a small and usually shingly beach lies at the foot. and the length of the lake wall is studded with many very substantially built stair-ways straddling the cliff. These have to be strong to withstand the winter storms, or rather the storms which come at the end of the winter, when the huge expanse of solid ice which is Lake Erie in the depth of the winter months, begins to break up It is the shallowest of the Great Lakes, and is the most disturbed and treacherous, though one would not suspect that to see its unruffled surface on a summer day. Cleveland's nearest neighbour among the great cities, and its chief rival, is Detroit. the city which. with Los Angeles, is remarkable for the rapidity of its growth—in 1910 a comparatively small town; to-day steadily growing in wealth and influence. We spent a w eek-end in Detroit, travelling by a Great Lake steamer across Lake Erie to Petroit, perched on the beautiful stretch of the Detroit River. The trip is delightful, and the steamers elaborately fitted in the style of a transoceanic liner. We watched the lights of Cleveland and the striking mass of the Terminal Tower fade away from the steamer deck at midnight. and found ourselves docked in Detroit when we woke next morning. It is a city with a sky-line, with a growing number of sky-scrapers, and with an undeniable city air. It can bear, of course, no comparison with New York, and as yet can count its sky-scrapers without much difficulty; but it is impressive with its huge business houses, beautiful hotels, and lovely stores clustered together on spacious Washington Boulevard, described in "guide" language as the "centre of women's desires and men's regrets" Detroit seems a little original among American cities-at least it gets away from the American inevitability of numbered streets, which are undoubtedly convenient, but somehow so ordinary, and its public square bears the title of Campus Martins. a title which can hardly claim originality perhaps, but at least is unusual in America. The Detroit River is a beautiful stretch of water, the connecting channel from Lake Erie to Lake St. Clair. and through to the remaining lakes, and so carries a great volume of water. It has another distinction which the guide points out to you, in that, being the boundary line between the United States and Canada, it is the only river in the world which is dry on one side and wet on the other! The Canadian city of Windsor, very much smaller than its neighbour. Detroit, is within easy reach across the water, the ferry doing the trip in ten minutes. The immense span of the Ambassador Bridge is another connecting link between the two countries, or the tunnel burrowing under the river makes the crossing easy. We are quite thrilled to cross over to Canada and have dinner on British soil once again. America is the friendliest of nations, but somehow Canada seems closer to home At least the Canadians know how to serve tea—an art the Americans have never acquired! Coming back we had, of course, our few belongings care.
fully scrutinised. Many of the American tourists to Canada try to bring some liquor in, most of them for the fun of the thing—but their chances of success in a car are negligible—and the fine is five dollars a bottle, in addition to which the said bottle is confiscated. There are many amusing stories current of the efforts made to beat the Customs, and, of course, it is done, as witness the fact fhat bootlegging is Detroit's largest industry! It is primarily an automobile city. One can't get away from the various automobiles show rooms, and the huge factories are among the attractions of Detroit. Ford has very definitely lets his impress on the city. We went out to the Rouge River plant, the largest car manufacturing plant in the world, with one hundred thousand men numbered as employees. It is, as is to be expected, huge, the buildings stretching in seemingly unending line. The Lincoln, Cadiallac, Packard, Hupmobile, and Dodge factories are similarly immense. Probably the two most striking buildings which Detroit lays claim to are the General Motors Building and the Fisher Body Building, the first described as the largest office building in the world, and the second surely ranking as one of the most beautiful. The interior decoration in its spacious high-ceilinged entrance hall is in the style of many coloured mosaics, with striking lighting effects from beautifhl chandeliers. Both internally and externally it is a triumph in the style of architecture America is evolving. The Henry Ford Two-Million Dollar Hospital is another of Detroit's marvels, a very lovely and very large building endowed by Ford. In America one usually prefixes the outstanding buildings by their price figures! Thus one speaks of the five-million dollar Public Library, the nine-million. dollar Fisher Building, or the eighteenmillion-dollar General Motors Building. The city is lucky, too. in the possession of a beautiful island park, Belle Isle. cut off from Detroit by a channel of the river, but linked to it by a wide bridge. The island is threaded by a large number of lagoons and canals, ideal for swimTing and boating. and there are bautiful motor roads and riding paths and stretches of natural wood, so that we find side by side natural and cultivated beauty. The acquarium, the zoo, a golf course, a yacht club, the beautiful Belle Isle Casino, are all contained within its seven hundred and fifty acres. And one can look back from Belle Isle to the fine sky-line of Detroit. or forward to the shore line of Canada. Detroit. dyhamic Detroit, as some of its citizens like it to he called. is by no means the least pleasing of America's many great cities.

The Question Box Questions about the doctrine and practice of the Church will be answered in this section weekly. Inquirers are to be as brief and clear as possible. Pope Gregory VII. T. F. Pope Gregory VII. was a Benedictine monk, of the Monastery of Cluny, in France, and was known as Hildebrand. Called to Rome in 1045, as Chaplain to Gregory VI, he re-mained to be the counsellor and helper of f our successive Popes. Eventually he himself was unanimously chosen as Pope, took the name of Gregory VII., and ruled the Church from 1073 until 1085. He accomplished the enormous task of freeing the Church from the interference of secular rulers, and from many abuses from within. He ended his life peacefully in exile at Salerus, saying almost as he died. "I have loved justice and hated iniquity; therefore I die in exile." Roman Catholic, E. C. B.: The name "Roman Catholic" is not appreciated by Catholics for more than one reason. In the first place it implies that there is more than one branch of the true Church, and, in this sense, is often the mind of those members of the Church of England, who style themselves AngloCatholics. In the second place the terms Roman, Romish, and others lar had an opprobious meaning in 7 Reformation England, and tracer that still linger in the English-speaking world. There is only one Church which can justly claim to be Catholic or Universal, and there is no need to prefix the adjective Roman to distinguish it. Lay Baptism. Edward: Lay Baptism is the name sometimes given to Baptism administered by a lay person, in case of necessity. It does not differ, of course. from Baptism solemnly administered by a priest. If the opportunity occurs later on, the usual ceremonies of Solemn Baptism are supplied by a priest. When administering Baptism, it is sufficient for a lay person to pronounce the words of Baptism, while pouring water on the head of the subject, and to have the intention of doing what the Church does. Parables. T. R.: The strict meaning of the word parable is a placing beside or a comparison. It is found frequently in the Greek Old Testament, with the meaning of proverb, by-word, or similitude. In the New Testament it acquired a new meaning, and became a characteristic of the teaching of Our Lord. Even before Our Lord we find parables similar to His, but He made the parable His own in a very special manner. In the Gospels a parabte is a narrative of fictitious character, but dealing with happenings or objects taken from the life of man, which serve as terms of comparison to illustrate a spiritual truth. In order to understand a parable we must ascertain the point of comparison, and interpret all the rest accordingly. For example, in the parable of the Sower. Christ Himself is the Sower going out to sow the seed of the Gospel, and the details of the parable become clearly understandable. Very often the details have no particular meaning, hut merely serve to complete the narrative. Tel 132692 CHRYSLER AGENCY AND SERVICE STATION

THE RECORD.
Children of Mary Sodality
Cathedral Branch. It has been very gratifying to note that during the last few months the Sodality has been making rapid growth, the membership now totalling 180. while new members are being enrolled at each meeting. That a fine spirit of enthusiasm exists in the Sodality is evident from the fact that over 160 were present at the last meeting. Numerous enquiries have been made by the members as to when the Annual Retreat will commence! Arrangements have now been made for the Retreat to begin on Monday, April 13, and to end of Monday, the 20th. The Retreat will be conducted by one ct the Redemptorist Fathers. Last Sunday was a gala day for the Sodality, when the launch "Valmeda" was hired for a river picnic. Approximately ninety members, accompanied by the Spiritual Director, Very Rev. Father Prendiville, Adm., attended the outing, and all unanimously agreed that the picnic was a huge success. Lunch was partaken of at Bicton. where games and swimming were indulged in, after which the cruise was continued down to Fremantle and out side the harbour. Fun and friendliness characterised the return journey. and when the boat reached Perth all agreed that the day was a most enjoyable one, many asking when the next picnic was to be. The crowd then dispersed, feeling better prepared to begin work on Monday. The gratitude of the Sodalists is due in a big measure to our Director. Father Prendiville, who is doing to much to increase the membership, and also to our worthy President, Mk: Aileen O'Cailaghon. and her helper Miss K. Dunne, Miss J. Naylor, :• Miss E.

Christian Brothers' College v. Senior Old Boys. ( By K. J. L.) On Wednesday, the 4th. inst., at the W.A.CA Ground, the College XI. met and defeated an Old Boys' XI., led by Dr. Horan. The teams were: Old Boys: Dr. Horan (eapt.), Father Lynch, Outridge, Briggs, Culmsee, Preston, Cogan, Scott. Doyle, Hickey, and Lanzor. C.B.C.: Shea leapt.), O'Shaughnessy ( vice-capt.), McLeod. Brown, Arthur, Trainor. 13. Buzzard, Ryan, Chitty, J. Buzzard. Lyons. The Play. Dr. Horan won the toss and sent in Briggs and Lanzor to open the innings. Briggs faced &Shaughnessy, who bowled from the river end. The lastnamed was easily the best bowler for the College. He bowled twelve overs, three of which were maidens. He finished up the day with 4 for 28. Neither Briggs nor Lanzor showed any confidence at the wicket, the latter being the best scorer with 16. Outridge was the best run-getter for the Old Boys: his innings of 33 was fautless, and he played all the College bowlers with ease. Shea eventually got him caught at point by Ryan. Father Lynch was the best of the other Old Boy batsmen. He went in and made a valuable IS, just when it looked as if a rot was setting in. The Old Boys' innings closed after lunch for 139. Shea and Arthur opened for the Col. lege. but neither showed their old form. Arthur was caught after scoring 5, and Shea was run out for 13. McLeod and °Shaughnessy formed a use.

THE RECORD.
Aunt Bessy's Corner DEAR NIECES AND NEPHEWS, Autumn tints are showing in the trees, proclaiming to all that autumn is here, and winter is approaching. The days are becoming noticeably shorter. and there is not a long evening for playing games after school. The Easter holidays will be nearly the end of the swimming season, so make the most of it; see how many of-you attending the swimming classes can secure their lifesaving certificates. Pt is no burden to carry to be able to swim well, and may some day, who knows, knowledge of swimming may enable you to save some one's life, or preserve your own Some when in danger of drowning. people swim daily, winter and summer, but it takes a very hardy type to do so. The cricket season is nearly over, and soon you will have the winter games, football and baseball. I wonder if our schools will gain the championship this year. You will all be a little bit disappointed when you hear that the usual sports will not be held on St. Patrick's Day, but make amends for that by going to hear the grand concert at" night. There are times when we muss all do a little bit of sacrificing, so that we will be able to help one another, and I am sure we are not going to We can grumble over the sports. have our little picnics on that day, and enjoy a little quite fun amongst ourselves. Do you know, it is said that "St. Patrick drove the snakes out of Ireland." Now, we will try to follow his example on his natal day, not by trying to drive the snakes out of Australia (a stiff task that would be indeed), but try to drive the snakes of bad temper and selfishness out of our own natures that day, by helping some one in poorer circumstances than ourselves. There is no one so poor, or unhappy, that they cannot find someone a little poorer, more miserable, and unhappy than we are ourselves. By trying to cheer and comfort others, we become cheered and comforted ourselves. So. on St. Patrick's Day, let all Comerites obey the golden rule of "Doing unto others as they would like others to do unto them."

Father Connelius Tierney, Irish Missionary of St. Columban's Society, captured November 17, 1930, in the Vicariate of Hanyane and from the t wo Spanish Jesuits, Fathers Avito and Hidalgo, captured last April. in the Vicariate of Wuhu. The former states he is in good health, and asks 10:: such necessities as socks and clothing The letter of the two Jesuits, dated November 24, reads: "We are still in the same place, near Honan; fed by the soldiers; never any meat; the earth for a bed, with a little straw; a light cover for the two of us. Sometimes a soldier takes pity on us and throws his cloak over us. We received the clothes sent by Monsignor.?
Father Von An Swiss Vincentian, of Nanchang Vicariate, taken prisoner October 16, remains captive, with hopes of being freed by the regular soldiers. Though Father Mark Ho, Chinese secular priest, killed recently by brigands. was murdered with extreme cruelty, he could hardly wish for the punishment being meted out to his assassins. One of them has been apprehended and immediately had his hands cut off.
Polish Franciscan Conventuals of Nagasaki inatmgrated their own magazine. A magazine for children ("L'Enfant"), has been started by a Catholic layman', and is considered to supply a real de. mand on the part of youthful readers. The one Catholic newspaper in Japan, a weekly, formerly known as the "Catholic Times," was recently taken over by the Central Catholic Press Association of the Archdiocese of Tokyo. On this occasion the name was changed to "Nippon Katorilacu Shinbum" ("The Japan Catholic Newspaper") . JERSEY.
Is it a Part of the United Kingdom? An Australian Customs Ruling. The January issue of the Jersey Chamber of Commerce Journal, received by Thos. Cook and Son, contains the following: "A member of the Chamber reported an experience in which, having exported goods to Australia in the belief that the Imperial preference, would be granted on his consignments. the goods were made subject to the full duty as not being exported from the United Kingdom. The Australian Customs Department by this decision raised a question of very great general importance, and for this reason the matter was raised with the authorities in -London.

HOME, SWEET HOME
'Mid pleasures and palaces, wherever we may roam, Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home." MEMORIES. Sometimes in the gloaming, When the shadows fall, I find myself a-listening For the cuckoo's call, For the blackbird's cheery whistle In the poplar grove. Heard in the Summer evenings In the land I love. • And sometimes in the gloaming, When the wind's asleep, And the crested waves are moaning From out the deep, 'Tis myself that is a-longing For the corncrake's tune, Which is always heard in Ireland On a night in June. AndIsee the white road winding Through the hawthorn dell, And the mist above the river, Like a holy spell, And the window lights a-gleaming, While everywhere Seem angel voices telling 'Tis a time for prayer. A time for prayer, in trruth, it was, A time most blest, When the music of loved voices came To ring me rest, As Gabriel's golden "Ave," His Queen to greet. Was nightly echoed through the land In accents sweet. Thus often in the gloaming When the wind sings low, My thoughts will go a-roaming In the long ago; And I live again the dear old days, And see once more The faces and the places That I loved of yore. —Nellie Connolly. WORDS OF WISDOM. Since things do not turn out as we wish, let us wish them to turn out as they do. The worst tyrant is an evil habit, as a good habit is the noblest and most generous of masters. A proud man is seldom a kind man. Humility makes us kind, and kindness manes us humble. To give Our Lord our frank sorrow for our wretchedness, and then let it trouble us no more, is truest humility. The Heart of our Saviour is of such great goodness that He desires more to dispense His graces to us than we do to receive them —St. Augustine. The story of God's heroes is a story of good habits. They whose names we read in our Litanies did not become secure in holiness all at once. The manner most pleasing to God for keeping ourselves in His holy presence is to enter into the Heart of Jesus and confide to Him all care of ourselves.—B. Margaret Mary. The Church is that portion of creation purchased by the Precious Blood out of alien possession, recovered from unjust holding, redeemed from slavery, conquered from enemies. The heart which unites itself to the Heart of God cannot prevent itself from loving and meekly accepting the arrows launched against it by the hand of God.—St. Francis de Sales. THE WISDOM OF FATHER DEGEN ( From the "Trish Catholic.") No lasting social transformation of any value is possible without the inspiration and impetus of religion. Unexpected opportunities fall in the path of people who are whole-heartedly bent upon the accomplishment of some definite achievement. Think for yourself. Donst be a mere rubber-stamp or gramophone record. Be a millionaire of cheerfulness by scattering flowers of kindness every hour of the day. The saints were the happiest of mot% tals because they were the most innocent, not in the sense that they had only an academic or technical knowledge of sin, but because amid the fiercest and most seductive temptations they followed the straight path. You should no more dream of coming late for Mass to honour the King of king than you would of turning up late at Buckingham Palace for an audience with an earthly monarch. Prayer, good-will, hard work, and patience ean surmount all obstacles and bring the most diffictilt of undertakings to a successful fi nigh. WEARINESS AFTER TOIL A t times, our lives are hard.

long ago when the Master sat silent and alone on the sandy beach by the Sea of Galilee. The Apostles had gone to Capharnaum. The people who, in their enthusiasm, would have given Him Herod's crown and Herod's sceptre had gone back to their homes across the Jordan. The pilgrims to the Passover, interrupted in their journey, had returned to the caravan. Our Lord was alone, weary and tired after a day of unremitting labour. How welcome would be repose to His exhausted limbs, and yet St. Matthew tells us: "Having dismissed the multitudes. He went into the mountains to Pray." What a lesson for us as we think of Him in His canctuary in the hills! What a shame it brings to our hearts when we think of how we spend our idle hours!
