The Story St. Patrick Told

St. Ildephonsus' College, New Noma The annual match between the Past and Present students was played on Sunday, 8th. inst., on the College Oval. The Pasts' were represented by a strong combination, particularly in batThe teams were as follows:— ting. Pasts: R. Bryant (eapt.), W. Bryant. I. Campbell. P. McCabe, V. Byrne, t Lanigan, J. Clune, V. Clyne, G. I Geffs. R. Abbott, M. Abbott, and A. Parcel!. Presents: G. Skeahan (capt.), L. Wood, Bros. Cyril, Patricius, and Theophane, E. B. Smyth, K. Peterson, J. Sullivan. R. Horton, L. Hanson, B. Harding, and L. De Mamiel. The Present Boys' captain won the toss and sent the Old Boys to the wicket, the opening pair being McCabe and W. Bryant. Skeahan bowled from the top, and Brother Patricius from the The bowling was accurlower end. ate and the rate of scoring slow. In Bro. Patricius' second over Bryant touched a rising ball and was caught at first slip. His successor, V. Byrne. was similarly out to a fine catch by Bro. Cyril off Skeahan. The score was now 34 when Campbell came to the wicket. His stay was short, as he got in front to a well pitched ball from Bro. Patricius. Geffs was next, and at once started to bar in a nice free However, in atand easy manner. tempting a big hit, he was bowled. McCabe had been batting in a very sound fashion, but was stumped off Bro.

An adjournment was then made for lunch, and the game was resumed at 2 p.m. In his first over after lunch Smyth bowled Bryant, and a little later the same bowler obtained the wickets of J. Clune, R. Abbott, and R. Lanigan in the same over. V. Clune was caught and bowled by Skeahan, and Brother Cyril obtained the last wicket, the innings closing for 163. The opening pair for the Present R. Boys were Skeahan and Wood. Bryant bowled from the top end and W. Bryant from the other. The bowling was fairly accurate and the scoring slow. In W. Bryant's third over R. Abbott brilliantly caught Wood, and soon after Skeahan was out 1.b.w. to R. Bryant. Bro. Cyril and B. Smyth were associated in a fairly long partnership. and really flattered the very mediocre bowling. Bro. Cyril was out at $5, and Bro. Patricius following, However sarted to go for the runs. he lost his partner at 87. and was himself clean bowled by Jerry Clune. The score was 105 for 6 wickets. The game was at an interesting stage, but the rest of the Presents collapsed, the innings closing for 130. Thus the Pasts won a very enjoyable and interesting match by 33 runs. Scores: Pasts. W.

With wondering looks they gathered close about him, And held his hand, and kissed the robe he wore, The children of the gentle Gaels of Eire. Whose hearts would soon the King of kings adore. And Patrick gave his message to the children. Because he knew their lips would bear it forth And spread it through the pleasant fields of Eire, From East to West, from South to kingly North.

Excavations at Ephesus In connection with the approaching celebrations of the 15th. centenary of the Council of Ephesus, by which the Divine Maternity of the Blessed Virgin Mary was declared a dogma of the Catholic Faith, it is interesting to note that further excavations of the gigantic Cathedral of St. John and the discovery underneath it of the ruins of another ancient earlier cathedral in size scarcely less huge than its predecessor, have featured last year's rind by the Archaeological Expedition Austrian which, with the support of the Rockefeller Foundation, is excavating the ruins in the famous Ionic City of EpThe origin of Ephesus, which hesus. is in Turkey, but was part of ancient Greece, is veiled in obscurity. Androdes, son of Codrus, the last King of Athens, is reputed to have been the founder of the city, but it is known that Alexander the Great conquered it, The and St. Paul made it famous. e xcavations were begun in 1863 by British archaeologists, but so far little more than the surface has been scratched. The Austrian expedition which has been carrying on the work under the leadership of Prof. Joseph Keil returned to Vienna with the onset of Winter. Rich mosaics, which retain their colour after having been buried for centuries, have been taken from the ruins of the huge cathedral discovered under the debris of the still larger structure built by Emperor ltistinian in the sixth century over the grave of Apostle John. Of interest in the reconstruction of the civic history of Ephesus is the discos.. ery of the ruins of a private house more than 4,000 square yards in extent, the pillared courts and vaulted ronms of which give evidence of the wealth and taste of its owner.

THE RECORD

Saturday, March 21, 1931. NEWS FROM IRELAND—

Two Saints and an Ancient See Ardagh of St. Patrick and St. Mel.

:-‘t. Patrick is said to have visited Ardagh in the year 454, and to have converted the local chieftain to the iaith; to have founded a cathedral and monastery here, and to have appointed St. Mel or Melsus first bishop of the See. Many authorities are of the opinion that St. Mel was a nephew of the National Apostle. The ancient Cathedral of Ardagh, some remains of which still are to be seen, ranks as one of the oldest Cathedral Churches of Ireland. At Ardagh St. Mel founded a school or college ,and this institution, like so many others in early Christian Ireland, sent many a zealous missionary to aid in the work of evangelising the Pagans in many parts of the European continent. At Ardagh of St. Patrick and St. Mel, the bishops of the diocese continued to reside down to the days of Henry VIII. The persecutions of and Elizabeth. those terrible times sent the bishops into hiding. robbed and dismantled the Monastery and Cathedral, and put an end to the ancient village as the metropolis of a diocese. From the time of the Reformation until about the end of the eighteenth century, the bishops of Ardagh had no xed place of abode; no headquarters i for the See. Dr. McDermott Roe, a bishop of Ardagh in the later Penal days, resided at Kilronan, Keadue, Co. Roscommon. and was buried in the family vault of the McDermott family beside the grave of Carolan, the last of the bards. Another ruler of the See. Dr. Brady, made Irishtown, Athlone, his most frequent place of residence. His successor. Dr. Cruise, about the beginning of last century. acquired and occupied a suitable episcopal residence at Bally. mahon. which continued to be used as such for many years. The story of most Irish dioceses sinet the upheavals of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries includes the con fiscation or destruction of the ancient cathedral, churches, and other ecclesi astical buildings (including the residence of the bishops) and the slow an, diffieult endeavour to replace the ori.

ginal temples and houses by neN% structures. So it was in Ardagh. Ne‘N parish churches had to be provided and in Athlone and elsewhere sonic splendid ecclesiastical buildings wert raised. Then came the problem of a CatheOne of the most learned, able dral. and zealous bishops that ever ruled over this See, Dr. William O'Higgin, ( 1793-18531, addressed himself to the task of erecting a new cathedral short ly after his appointment to the govern ment of the diocese to which he sm ceeded in the Emancipation year, 1829 The fine structure that to-day graces the entrance to the town of Longford was begun by him and its classic di sign was largely his conception. The Cathedral was completed by his successor, Most Rev. Dr. Kilduff. The founder of the Cathedral of Longford. Dr. O'Higgins, was a remarkable man. Not so long ago a most interesting article dealing with his career appeared in the "Irish Ecclesiastical Record,' from the pen of Very Rev. Canon Mas He was one of O'Connell's terson. most intimate and valued friends, and at the time of the Repeal agitation was one of the ablest and most outspoken of the Liberator's lieutenants. Educated at Paris and Rome. he had as classmate in the former city the t uture General de la Moriciere, the commander of the Papal Army in the campaign of MO, in which the Irish "Zouayes" participated. In 1843 la Moriciere paid a visit to his old friend Dr. O'Higgins at Ballymahon, and the Government of the day showed some signs of perturbation lest the prelate who stood so close to O'Connell in the Repeal agitation leadership should be con. templating military measures in concert with the friend commander. The idea was, of course, ridiculed, and O'Connell was able to assure the "powers that be" that "Dr. O'Higgins had no army concealed in his back parlour." For a period of two centuries, the Clonmacnoise. of ancient diocese whose patron is St. Kieran. has been united to that of Ardagh: hence time title of the diocese as that of "Ardagh and Clonmacnoise."

Jazz Dance Scandal in Ireland Justice Goff's Views "We are dealing with a kind of dance which has been described by one of she gramophone manufacturers as Savage dancing to savage rhythm. rhythm is. I am afraid, associated with the arousing of certain base passions. and is associated in that way in the minds of a very large number of people who are not normal." Mr. Goff. DJ., made this statement in Dundalk. when he delivered a considered judgment refusing the applica tion of Peter Donnelly for a licence for dancing in respect of premises in Church St. Dundalk. There had, unfortunately, Mr. Goff continued. been some very serious abuses in connection with ame of these dance halls. "We are," he continued. "dealing with post-war times, and with a large number of people who have a very peculiar outlook as a result of the terrible things that happened during the last 14 or 15 years—with a large number of people who have been subwet to exceptional influences. "I am afraid that the influence of this jazz dancing and the influence of the cinema have been very bad: that

they have made a terrible number of people abnormal, and that these people. whom I might call jazz addicts, have lost control of themselves. "In fact, you will see them on the streets, in the railway carriages, and on the tramway cars, and they cannot Their bodies are being keep quiet moved about and are swaying to some imaginary jazz rhythm.' He had, he added, visited the premises which were very nice, but the ap plication was opposed by the Urban Council. who were charged with the responsibility of the public safety. It was with some regret—Mr. Donnelly having spent a lot of money on the premises- -that he had to refuse the application for the license. He was not quite satisfied with a number of the points which had been questioned on A conbehalf of Rev. Father Tohall. siderable portion of the yard to which an exit ran was dark and this was ry • a desirable place in which to have ar e xit He was refusing the application ;flietv on the opposition of the Urbac C ounial. because he was sure they wen actuated solely by the necessity for th, public safety and had no axe to grind

Plight of Protestantism in Belfast It would seem (says the "Irish Catholic"$ from sidelights thrown on the position of Protestantism in Belfast that the capital of Northern Ireland is proportionately in as had a plight as is London thmugh lack of clergy. churches, and Sunday schools, and it is stated that some 50.000 of the Church population of Belfast has lapsed from contact with those who might be supposed to be their spiritual guides. These facts came out when the proposal to create another Protestant bishopric in the North was turned down recently by a majority of the Diocesan Synod of Down And Connor and Dromore—which :am° Synod had five years ago approved the erection of the additional See. Two reasons for this change of mind by the Synod- are adduced one, that the supposition that the cost would be borne bv the reneral funds of the Church was ascertained not to be well founded: the other that the money which the carrying out of the project

would require could, especially just at present, be more fittingly applied to more urgent needs. The "Irish Times" not obscurely hints that the existenct of the Border has something to do with the cold shouldering of the project Our contemporary says:— "The complaint has been made that the whole Church denies to the Northern diocese the help for which its needs clamour. This feeling may be unjust to Dublin and the South. but it exist, and, so long as it exists it will be n Tr danger to the Church's welfare. years ago we did not conceal our easinexs at the possible effects of 1tical partition on the Church's unit• and in some measure our fears ha-v.Belfast and Dublin been fulfilled. have fallen apart.

One reason is that I was born in Ireland; another that it is my natal day. Even though the sports were not held, I hope you all wore a bit of green ribbon or sported the shamrock. St. Patrick himself used the shamrock as a symbol of the Three in One, the Trinity, to explain how it was possible: There are the small three perfect leaves joined into one perfect leaf. Most of you know the old song: "There's a dear little shamrock, that grows in old Ireland, 'Twas St. Patrick himself sure who found it." Then the chorus: The dear little shamrock, The sweet little shainrock, The dear little, sweet little, Shamrock of Ireland." AUNT BESSY.

Whose lot was just the senile: Found something pleasing for herself, In every day that came. Of course, things tangled up sometimes, For just a little while; But nothing ever stayed all wrong, She used to say, and smiled. So one girl sighed, and one girl smiled. Through all their lives together; It didn't come from luck or fate. From clear or cloudy weather.

The reason lay within their hearts, And coloured all outside; One chose to hope, and one to mope. And so they smiled and sighed.

SL Patrick's Night at His Majesty's A GRAND NATIONAL CONCERT "Oh Native Music Beyond Comparing" There is It was a great evening. no question about the success of St. Patrick's night at His Majesty s. Never was there a more enthusiastic gathenng thronged within its walls. From floor to topmost gallery the seating accommodation was taxed to capacity, and over all the spirit of the Gael spread ita enfolding ;charm-from the first orchestral item, with the lilt of old favourite tunes, to the last invocation. of the anthem, "God Save Ireland," without which no really orthodox Insh e vening is complete, the hearts of the big gathering throbbed as one heart with that intensity of affection which is characteristic of the race when united in honouring the memory of St. PatOn Tuesday last, for the first rick. time in a long while, the glorious Seventeenth passed without the usual St. Patrick's Day procession, but amends were made for that seeming lapse of love for the Saint by a truly warmhearted display of affection in the great gathering which did honour to the Saint by participation in one of the most enjoyable concerts in years. His Grace. under whose patronage the concert was given, and many of the clergy and Christian Brothers were included in the huge audience, and in common with everybody else, richly enjoyed the feast of music and flow of song. The "Fantasia of Irish Airs," by the Victoria Square College Orchestra, was the opening number of the programme. It was a fitting one. Frocked in white with green scarves, the curtain rose upon an attractive group of young Australians. who gave positive evidence, in the superior interpretation of their musical fantasy, of the quality of the instruction given at their school. The pupils of the Christian Brothers' College, a company of smart juniors, who came into the fierce light of public notice with a confident step and an air of decision that all would be well, under the direction of Madame Filippini, tunefully and delightfully rendered "Fairy Tales of Ireland" and "Cruiskeen Lawn." Most of us heard those songs before, and many of us have helped to sing the "Cruiskeen Lawn" on occasions with varying effects, but from the thrcats of the young C.B.C. blackbirds on Tuesday e vening these old timers came back like forgotten melodies. The items were very well received. The pupils of St Joseph's School, Victoria Square. gave an interesting gymnastic display, under the direction of Major Saunders. The movements of the class were graceful and the marching rythmical and attractive. A splendid effect was given when the colours of the Irish Free State were unfurled and the salute was given. The action evoked tumultous applause. which was again and again repeated. Mr. Arthur Coulehan gave a pleasing rendering of "Mother Machree," and for a recall number sang "Oft in the Stills' Night." Both songs are old favour. ites, but they never seem to lose their charm when well rendered. The "Last Rose of Summer," and "Ireland is Ireland to Me." were very nicely rendered by the pupils of the Presentation Convent. Cottesloe Beach, under the direction of Madame Filippini. !'Ma. rushla" was beautifully sung by Miss Flora Nowotny, who was recalled. St. Patrick's Boys' Champion Choir, conducted by Madame Filippini, received a warm reception on their appearance. Their two numbers. "The Rose of Tralee" and "Kern- Dance," were exceptionally pleasing items, and delightfully rendered. The applause that followed was well deserved. The boys gave a splendid account of themselves, and reflected honour on their school. Their contributions concluded the first section of the programme. The overture of the second section, by Miss D'Arey's Orchestra. "Savoy Irish Medley," was sprightly music. and many toes throughout the theatre were set in motion to the tunes. "Ireland. Mother Ireland" was an excellent item. It was a song and tableau, with orchestral accompaniment, by the pupils of the Sacred Heart School. and won great appreciation from the audience Fourteen pretty singing shamrocks charmed the audience with their beautiful voices In the background was a harp and harpist, and a Celtic Cross. During a pause in the song, a musical monologue. "Will My Soul

Pass Through Ireland?" was appropiately spoken by Miss Josephine McNamara, a pupil of Miss L. Kavanagh. Miss Lorna Sydney-Smith's "Believe Me" was delightfully rendered, and as an encore the old, but evergreen, "When "Barney O'Hea" followed. Other Lips" was wry nicely rendered by Mr. Arthur Cooper, who has a good He gave a recall numtenor voice. be, which was also well received. One of the most favoured items of the evening was the "Irish Jig," by the pupils of St. Joseph's School, Victoria Square. The five little colleens danced as only the fairies dance, and one was expressly brilliant. The whole house expressed its appreciation in spirited applause. Miss Isabel Reith very nicely rendered "A Little Bit of Heaven," and for a recall number "Love Will Find a Way." This singer has a pleasing manner and voice, and her songs were well received. Very much appreciated contributions were the songs of the singing pupils of St. Brigid's Convent. West Perth. Their trained voices gave an added charm to the music of the evening. "Has Sorrow Thy Young Days Shaded?" was a lovely item, as was The also "Love's Young Dream." singers were delightfully frocked, and the soft shades made a colourful setMiss Eileen Hart's beautiful ting. contralto voice was heard to advantage in the "Exile's Return." She was deservedly recalled and repeated the last verse. The old, old timer. "Father O'Flynn," was toasted with commendable fidelity by Mr. Jack O'Sullivan, who seemed to revel in the joy of his appointed task. He came back in response to an encore, and as happily and spiritedly gave "A Toast to Erin." They set the founts of sentiment flowing, and the rafters rang with the applause that followed,. These two items practically closed a well-balanced programme. Mr. O'Sullivan rang the curtain down with the Irish national anthem and prayer, "God Save Ireland," given with all the fervour that may be found in a gathering of Gaels. So concluded one of the most delightful Irish concerts we have witnessed in many years, and those interested in its production are deserving of the congratulations of the community. Miss Doreen D'Arcv, L.T.C.I., was the accompaniste for the evening.

St. Joachim's Activities. Annual Club Tournament. Favoured by ideal weather conditions, the St. Joachim's Club opened its annual tournament last week-end. on the Victoria Park Courts. The tournament promises to be one of the most successful in the club's history. both in the interest taken and in the standard of play attained. That members are interested in the fixture is shown by the record entry which the committee, with obvious satisfaction, reports. Even on the two opening days it was remarked that better ten• nis was being played than in previous years, an improvement which may be attributed largely to the skill of ,new members participating for the first time, and partly to the tonic effect of their play on other competitors. The value of new blood in any sport seems to be usually twofold: the new plaster is an asset in himself and also tends to improve the form of other players by enlarging the field of competition and introducing greater variety of style. These two consequences certainly seem to have followed in the present instance. The handicapping. too, seems to have made the competl tion very open, many of the result being unexpected. The club welcome, its new members, who include Messrs. Tom Outridge, Jack Mayhew, Graeme Quinn, and Bernie Prindiville, and Misses Annie Dyson and Connie Prindiville. who have all transferred frolocal clubs ,and also Mr. Day.

The pupils of the Convent School have opened a fund to provide a sports ground at their school.

Thanks to the fine efforts of a band of workers (ex-scholars and friends), the preliminary work of excavations and timbering has been completed, and a start made with the gravelling. With a view to augmenting the funds. an Irish concert and dance was held in the School-room on March 12. The concert, organised by Mr. Fred Burke, proves1 to be one of the best (if not the best/ ever held in the School Hall. The accommodation was overtaxed. Proceedings opened with an overture of Irish Melodies, by Miss Maude Dalton's orchestra of five instruments, and their efforts were loudly applauded. Then followed a fine rendering of a song by Mr. E. Maltman. The school children contributed a song and dance, entitled an "Irish Reel," which was well carried out. The Misses Northey's duet.

The "Confessions" are more helpful still when we come The important thing in the life of a Saint to look at Patrick, the Saint. is that which is hidden, interior, namely his growth in holiness: His actions that come down to us as facts of history may be signs of sanctity, but, however great, they are not enough to make a saint: the motives must have been saintly and only the Saint himself can tell us of these. The Saint himself has the key of that Sanctuary: he alone can let us see its secrets. The biographer—who undertakes to inform us about it—is but an outsider like ourAs we selves.

At the age of 15 years he is taken captive by an Irish raiding expedition, and sent as a slave to tend swine on the wind-swept slopes of Slieve Mash, in Antrim. "After I had come to Ireland," continues the Confessions, "I tended flocks daily, and often in the night I prayed. The love and fear of God increased more and more, and my faith grew and my spirit was roused, so that in a single day I said as many as a hundred prayers, and at night almost as many, even while I was living in the wood and on the mountain." A fter some years in captivity, Patrick escaped to his native shores and began his studies. His family and friends conspire to wean him from the expressed desire of returning among the pagan Irish, as a Missioner. "And while still in Britain," narrates the Confessions, "I beheld in a vision of the night a man called Victoricus coming, as it were, from Ireland.. with letters innumerable. And he gave me one of them, and I read the beginning of the letter which ran thus: The Voice of the Irish: and while I was reading aloud the opening wcieds, methought that at that very moment I heard the Voice of those who dwelt near the wood of Foclut, beside the Western sea, as in unison they cried aloud: "We beseech thee, 0 holy Youth, to come back and walk once more amongst us. And I was greatly affected and could read no more, and so Iawoke." •

"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 of 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.

Turning the searching rays of the "Confessions" on some salient points in Patrick's life, we see the inner man as he really was. He tells us why he wrote this document: "Though I am unperfeet in many things, I wish my brethren and kinsfolk to know what manner of man I am that they may be able to understand the purpose of my life. Long since I thought of writing this confession, but till now I hesitated, as I feared to incur the censure of the tongue of men: for I am not learned like others, who have studied laws and sacred letters, and who from childhood never changed their mother tongue. 3.1y speech and my style were changed into the tongue of the stranger, as anyone may see from the character of my writing.*

After many years of waiting and disappointment, and indeed persecution from his friends, Patrick. at the age of 60, received the much petitioned commission from Pope Celestine, and in 432 set sail for Ireland. He tells us the motives that prompted him to go to Ireland "I came to the Irish tribes to preacn the Gospel, to bear insults from unbelievers and many persecutions, . even unto bonds and to give up my freedom for the profits of others. And, if I be worthy. I am ready to give up my life, without a moment's . delay, and to pour it out most gladly, even unto death, for the Lord's sake in that country."

On Easter Eve Patrick and his little band land on Trish soil, and camp on the hill of Slane, facing royal Tara, where the Ardrigh or High King holds his court. On that night no fire is to burn on hearth or hill, no light is to gleam from palace or hovel, until the flame of the sacred pile kindled by the Ardrigh on the green rath of Tara shall be seen burning over the plains of Meath. That night is consecrated to the fire-god of the pagan Irish. Patrick lights his Easter fire, and immediately the alarm is sounded at Tara. The chief Bard rushes before the King, and in prophetic words exclaims: "0! Ardrigh, a fire has this day been lighted in Ireland whic.h, if it be not at once put cut, will burn for ever in the land." Soldiers are despatched. Patrick is arreeted, and or his way to Tara he recites that prayer known as the

Taking in at once the whole purport of Gabriel's message, she asks simply to know God's Will with regard to her vow of virginity. This difficulty eolved, she says her "Fiat": "Be it done."

The Dispersion of the Irish Race God in His mysterious wisdom permitted the nation to be flung bleeding to the four corners of the earth. In a pitiful stream, the exiles crossed the waterways of the world seeking that which was denied them at home. With them they brought their priest and their God. As the banished Israelites, wandering in sorrow away from the Holy Land, clung to the Ark of the Covenant as the centre of their life, so, too, did the banished Irish, wandering in sorrow from their holy land, cling firmly to that which is greater than the Ark of the Covenant—the Tabernacle, wherein God is enthroned. And fortified by the strength of nations. the exiles planted the Cross of Christ in Arctic ice and under tropic sun, on the rolling prairies and pampas of America, amid the sands of Africa, by the mountains of Asia, and on the wide stretching plains of Australia. The dispersion of the Irish is one of the wonders of the world. We do not recall it to arouse bitterness, God forbid. No! We look back to it as one of the glories of our Church, just as we look back to the martyrs of the Roman arena, martyrs who saved their country and their oppressors by their fidelity to our Catholic Faith. The Marvellous results of this dispersion form one of the brightest pages in the history of Ireland, and one of the grandest monuments to the undying vitality kind strength of the Catholic Church. The effects of this dispersion on the history of the world and the history of the Church are beyond computation. They are worldwide in extent and supernatural in power. Truly it is a case of God using the weak ones of the earth to confound the strong. We see a stream of broken-hearted, poverty-stricken exiles fleeing from their country, as helpless from a worldly standpoint as Christ's first Apostles. Yet look at the result! Strong with the strength of God, they have built numberless homes for their Creator, wayside churches, mighty cathedrals, seminaries, convents. orphanages, and schools, all centres that infuse a soul into the material side of the life of nations and vivify and uplift it. . . . The extent of this mighty force to-day is best seen when, in an outburst of love, the Irish world keeps the festival day of him who gave them their Catholic Faith. . . . . . . On St. Patrick's Day, the tramp of the Irish shakes the world."— Father Lockington, Si. erected it into an Archconfraternity and enriched it with many indulgences It is estimated that over a thousand l'ranches exist to-day throughout the world, whose members amount to several hundred thousands.

From the Vatican City State Popes Anniversary. The ninth anniversary of the coronation of the Holy Father was celebrated in the Sistine Chapel. where His Holiness was present at Mass with the assistance of the Diplomatic Corps and high representatives of the State. The Pope having vested a white carnice and a rich cope, and wearing the magnificent tiara, a gift of the Milanese faithful, mounted the sedia gestatoria, and the pontifical procession wended its way through the Sala Ducale and Sala Reggia. crowded with applauding thithful. to the Sistine. His Holiness was immediately preceded by the Cardinals resident in Curia, twenty in nuntber. As soon as His Holiness entered the Sistine Chapel. the choir intoned "Tu es Petrus." Then the Pope descended from the sedia gestatoria and took .his place on the throne at the Gospel side of the altar. Cardinal Locatelli celebrated the Mass, and at the conclusion the Holy Father imparted the Apoitolic Benediction.

In reply, Senator Marconi said: With silence and deep emotion I speak in your august presence, moat blessed Father. The joy given me by the truly historic moment when Your Holiness designed to make use for the first time of electric waves to send across space the words of peace and benediction to the faithful of all the world and the thought of having obtained for all believers the great consolation which they experienced to-day are the greatest reward for my labours.

Through the enlightened will of Your Holiness, a great part of the world has been able to-day to receive directly that paternal benediction which nine years ago Your Holiness, presaging perhaps the magnificent events which have since matured, deigned to impart from the exterior of the Basilica of St. Peter as the first glorious act of your Pontificate.

THE RECORD.

The Immortal Gael Nearly 1400 years have gone since, on the 17th. of March, 493, Patrick passed from earth to Heaven. Empires have flourished and gone down, whole peoples have passed away, new faiths have arisen, new languages have sprung up, new worlds have been born to man; but those fourteen centuries have only fed the fire of that faith which he taught the men of Erin. and have spread into a wider horiion the light he kindled.

HOME, SWEET HOME

'Mid pleasures and palaces, wherever we may roam, Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home." APPLE BLOSSOM. I. He thought Of naught But the Blossom of the Apple! Ile thought Than aught That blows on tree. Sweetest is that sweet blossom! —And sweeter than that Is she—

Now he is mad, And naught's to do! How could he other be, who had These twelve Long months Thus brooded you. And thought Of naught But the Blossom of the Apple! —James Stephens in the "New States. man" (London). WORDS OF WISDOM. Never reproach those who must be cormeted, except with calmness. Well! When shall we have a mind to begin to do good? God never wishes to entrap us or take us at a disadvantage.—Father Faber. Only if our daughters are responsible and our sons are honourable and clean may we hope for heroes in our land. A resolute will triumphs over everything, with the help of God, which is never wanting. We must be little children. As little children we kneel before Him in confession—as little children we love Him, and spend ourselves unselfishly in His service. God does not send us trials to lose our souls, but to save them; if we do not know how to profit by them it is our own fault. If you would comprehend the burning charity of Jesus Christ towards you, you would see that all His dealings with you proceed entirely from love. Devotion to the Blessed Virgin is actually necessary, because there is no better means of obtaining God's graces than through His most holy Mother. The humility of Jesus Christ is the gate by which we must enter, if we would have His Divine Majesty show us great treasures, as He did St. Francis. It is easy when out in the world to live after the world's opinion. It is easy when in solitude to live after one's own opinion. The great man is he who in the midst of the crowd can keep his conscience and the undisturbed serenity of his soul.

Preserve to us the heritage of chastity and temperance: keep ever brightly burning on the altar of our hearts the sacred Fire of Faith, Hope, and Charity, that thus we may emulate the ancient piety of Ireland's children, and the Church of Erin may shine with peerless glory as of old.

of children, the shady bedroom scenes and passionate close-ups of the cinema defile their minds and murder their souls. A wife should be a cheerful companion to her husband—an angel in the home, rather than a "critic on the , hearth." It is not sufficient to refrain from hating your enemy—you must sincerely love him. To accept Our Lord at all is to accept Him not on your terms, but on His. Our Lord does what no Saint, however exalted, could be conceived of doing—He makes His own character the absolute standard ot virtue and holiness, because He is the infinitely perfect God. For the same reason He never expresses opinions, but habitually uses the categorical imperative.

Therefore is he such a grgat model of obedience for us. St. Joseph lived an obscure life, but be died a glorious death. In his life he is a model, in his death he is an inspiration. A modern writer says: "His Judge was the One Who lovingly clasped his hand as he lay a-dying." The greatest, purest, holiest of all creatures was the One Who wiped the sweat from his brow, and moistened his parched lips ere he breathed his soul into God's hands. The obscure cave of Bethlehem saw the holiest birth. The obscure home of Nazareth saw the happiest death. Blessed, a thousand That is times blessed, is obscurity. God's message to the lowly the world over, "for He hath deposed the mighty from their seat, and hath exalted the humble." Oh, St. Joseph! Spouse of Mary my Mother, Foster-Father of Jesus my Saviour, teach me bow to live, and teach me how to die."

It is a source of inspiration to the Catholic artisan to reflect that the three greatest Saints in God's Church were humble workmen like himself, Joseph the Carpenter, Peter the Fisherman, and Paul the Weaver. Above the greatest Apostles in rank, and in the devotion which he arouses, is St. Joseph. He is the third member of the earthly trinity—Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. He is the patron of the Universal Church. This month of March is dedicated to him. Thus St. Joseph was a just man. is the life of the greatest of men Saints summed up in Holy Scripture. It is well to note that Holy Writ frequently uses the word "just" as the equivalent of "holy." Though of royal blood, with every refinement, St. Joseph laboured with his hands through long years of toil and hardship, earning a living for himself and the Holy Family. For thirty years he lived in intimate contact with Jesus, our God, and Mary the purest of creatures. What exalted sanctity he must have attained to be chosen by Almighty God to be the Protector and Provider of that _ sacred household. St. Joseph was a silent man. Not one spoken word of his is recorded In Holy Scripture. He used the virtue of silence as a deterrent to sin. He is the model of those strong, silent men who for ages have been the ideal fathers and the world's staunchest characters. He teaches in his silence that though speech may be silver, silence is golden. St. Joseph was an obedient man. rte received a hard command to take the Child and Its Mother in the dead of night and to flee into Egypt. But his obedience was swift, unquestioning, and uncomplaining. Such obedience in our day is rare. To question the command, to give in grudgingly, to carry out reluctantly, is too often the custom of children and their elders today T1,is WaF not St _Toseph's way.

THE CHURCH'S WORST ENEMY. There is nothing so discouraging to a priest as to talk to a non-Catholic about the beauty and truth of the Catholic Church, and when he has finished to have te non-Catholic say: "That may be. Father: but I've know Catholics who weren't much _like what you say the Church sfiould make them." It is an objection that he finds very hard to answer. He may point to the saints that the Church alone has produced. He may tell of the sanctity of the contemplatives. and the heroism that sends young men and women into religious and priestly lives. The nor. Catholic does not know these souls. He knows some Catholics whose lives are selfish, whose manners are mean. whos( viewpoint is petty and small. who lead lives none too honest, and whose hands are none too clean. He admires the theory of the Catholic faith, but the Catholics whom he knows seem badly to upset that theory by hard and sordid facts. Undoubtedly, if all Catholics lived

GOD'S LAW. God writes His mandates in the storm, God writes them in the sand, God makes them manifest in deeds That men may understand. God makes His law so clear that all May follow it and know The blessings of His kindly rule That from obedience flow. God writes His will in divers way That from it good may start, And blest are they who do His will With true and loyal heart. —Anthony F. Klinkner. MARY, OUR MOTHER. When the Catholic speaks of his Heavenly Mother, his heart is filled with all the strength of feeling that is contained in that word. Mary is as it were a gracious revelation of certain ineffable and ultimate traits in the nature of God, which are too fine and too delicate to be grasped otherwise than as reflected in the mirror of a mother—Dr. Karl Adam.

up to their faith the world would :tecome Catholic in a generation. It is not our enemies who do us real harm; it is our own people whose lives give the lie to the beauty and truth of the Church. Doctrine and ritual are hard to grasp; life is concrete, right under our eyes, unescapable. Since that is true, we have so fearful a responsibility. One of us is for some non-Catholic "the Catholic that I know." Some non-Catholic is consciously or unconsciously making us a reason for liking or disliking the Church. He or she is watching us and saying: "The Church must be beautiful which has inspired a life like that." Or the comment may be, "I don't think much of a Church that has as one of its members so mean, petty, and unpleasant a person."

Vance upon a time, when things was a great'le betther in Ireland than they are at present. when a rale king ruled over the counthry with four others undher him to look afther the craps art' other industries, there lived a young chief called Fan MaCool.

"Here goes pink!" sez he, an' he ups with a stone, as big as a castle, an' sends it flyin' in the air like a cannon ball, and it never stopped till it landed oil top,ov the Three Rock Mountain. "I'm your masther!" sez Fen pickin' up another "clochaun" (stone) an' sendin' it a few perch beyant the first. "That you're not," sez the Prence ov Imayle, an' he done his best, an' managed to send another finger stone beyant Fan's throw; an' shure, the three stones are to be seen, by all the world, to this very day. "Well, me lad," says Fan, stoopin' for another as big as a hill, "I'm sorry I have to bate you; but I can't help it.- sez he, lookin' over at the Prencess Maynish, an' she as mute as a mouse watchin' the two big men, an' the ould king showin' fair play, as de. lighted as a child. "Watch this," sez he, whirlin' his arm like a windmill. "and now put on Your spectacles," sez he: and away he sends the stone. buzzin' through the air like a peggin-top, over the other three "clochauns." and then across Dublin Bay, an' crapin' the nose ov Hoseth, it landed with a swish in the say bevant it. That's the rock they calls Ireland's eye now! "Be the so an' so!" sez the king. "I don't know where that went to at all, at all! What direct did you sent it?'' sez he to Fan. "I had it in view, till it went over the say,' sez he. "I'm bet!" sez the Prence ov Imayle. "I couldn't pass that, for I can't see where you put it, even--goodbye to yous," sez he, tuurnin' on his heel an' makin' off: "an' may yous two be as happy as I can wish you!" An' back he went to the butt ov Lugnaquilla, an' took to fret. an' I undherstand shortly either he died ov a broken heart: an' they put a turtle-dove on his tombstone to signify that he died for love; but I think he overstrained himself, throwin', though that's nayther here nor there with me story. "Are you goin' to lep back again?' sez ould King Garry, wantin' to see more sport: for he tuk as much delight in seeire the like as if he was a lad ov twenty. "To be shine I will!" sez Fan, ready enough, "but I'll have to take the girl over with me this time!" se:he. "Oh, no. Fan!" sez Maynish, afeered ov her life he might stumble, an' that he'd fall in love with her; an' then she'd ave to fall out with him- "take me father with you," sex she: an', egonnys, the ould king thought more about himself than any ov them, an' seri he'd take the will for the deed, like the lawyers. So the weddin' went on: an' maybe that wasn't the grand "blow out." But I can't stay to tell yous all the fun they had for. a fortnit: on'y. me dear, they all went into "kinks" (fits) ov laughin', when the ould king. who tuk more than was good for him, stood up to drink Fan's health, an' forgot Idniself. "Here's Wards your health. Fan Ma.

Cooll" sez he, as graund as you like— "an' a long life to you, an' a happy wife to you—an' a great many of them!" sez he, like he'd forgot somethin'. Well, me dear, every one was split:tin' their sides like p'yates, unless the prencess, an' "she" got as red in the face as if she was churnin' in the winther an' the frost keepin' the cratne from crackin'; but she got over it like the, inaisles But I suppose you can guess the remanider, an' as the evenin's gettin' forrad I'll stop; so put down the kittle an' make tay, an' if Fan and the Prencess Maynish didn't live happy to. gether—that we may! —"Irish Weekly.'
