Some Paintings of the Risen Christ (By Louise Crenshow Ray, in "America.") Although the Resurrection of Christ is not described by the Evangelist, and apparently was not witnessed by human eves, ancient masters, in their religious and artistic zeal, did not allow this limitation to prevent them from depicting the scene upon canvas. The paintings of the Resurrection only vary as to minor details; Christ is almost invariably conceived as bearing His Resurrection flag, with the red cross upon a white ground. He is thus represented in a little painting by Francesco Mantegna, in the London National Gallery. A mass of hollow rock in the centre of the picture contains a marble sarcophagus,upon which stands the Risen Saviour, partially clad in a red mantle. His right hand is raised in benediction, while in his left is a tall rod surmounted by a cross composed of golden balls, with a red-cross banner attached. Below lie four sleeping soldiers, while a fifth seems to keep watch. A slender tree closes the picture to the The serene sky indicates adright. vanced dawn. Perugino, in his painting which hangs in the Vatican, depicts Christ as rising in a mandorla while an angel approaches upon either side in adoration Beside the altar-shaped tomb below. one soldier, said to be a portrait of Perugino himself, is fleeing; one clutches his sword as in a terrified dream. while another, said to represent Raphael, is a slumbering youth. The subject has also been treated by del Garlx) (Florence), Rembrandt ( Munich!. Sodoma (Naples), and f , eral times, though not successfully. i Tintoretto. Albrecht Durer's Resurrection in his "Greater Passion" is a powerful and impressive picture. Owing to the Vurgate rendering of Christ's words to Mary Magdalene when He appeared to her in the garden, the painters have failed to observe that the more literal translation of the original Greek words is, "Be not grasping hold of me," rather than, "Touch me not." so for the most part their paintings have but little meaning. The deep lesson implied was that Christ's bodily nearness and earthly affection were vanished with the past, while the spiritual union could not begin until after the Ascension. Mary was yearning for the human Jesus—He pointed her to the Divine Christ. Thus did He warn His Church at His earliest appearance, not to revere His human form to the exclusion of His Divine Perosnality,
painters. Of the two, Romanino had more fascination and superficial cleverness, but Moretto possessed deeper qualities which Romanino never attained. Romanion's "Supper" shows a simple room, a swallow upon her nest; humble accessories upon the table; but the serving boy, with his crimson cap and white feather, as he turns to look at Christ, out of a corner of his eye, displays a touch of RomanMils fantastic cleverness. Bellini's masterly Supper at Emmaus in the Church of San Salvador at Venice is considered one of the first paintings in Italy. A noticeable feature is the grandeur given the head of Christ. The Venetian school, including Titian, usually treated the subject with earth.
the Gospels dwell upon the physical details of the occurrence—it is not even mentioned by St. Matthew; St. Mark s tates that Christ was taken up into Heaven. St. Luke seems to imply that the Ascension of Christ's glorified body was not actually witnessed by the disciple!: :"And it came to pass while He blessed them, he was parted from them and carried up into Heaven." It is doubtful whether the Scriptures warrant material delineation of this scene except by such symbols as the early Christians used in the Catacombs. It is not one of the more frequent subjects with painters. Even the irreverent familiarities of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries were awed by this transcendent mystery which gave them
THE RESURRECTION OF CHRIST. "And they went out quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy, running to tell his disciples. And behold. Jesus met them, saying: All hail. But they came up. and took hold of his feet, and adored him."— Matthew xxyiii., SW ft. commonplace surroundidngs, but avoided the vulgar realism of many artists. "The ruffian Caravaggio." as Ruskin terms him, treats this theme in the most realistic fashion, without a trace of sacredness or devotion—the thing we notice first is the obtrusive roast chicken upon the table. Rembrandt pictures deep reverence of feeling in the attitude of the disciple whohas recognised Jesus and clasps his hands in adoration. The other disciple, as yet unconvinced, leans upon the arms of his chair, his questioning eyes fixed upon the Master's face. There is an expression of ingenious curiosity upon the face of the serving boy. Still more admirable is Rembrandt's conception of the Risen Saviour --a mysterious radiance beams from His pallid face: the parted lips, the glassy eyes that have looked upon death are unforgettable. By some s trange magic of art, Rembrandt was enable to breathe into our hearts the Divine picture insignificant in appearance, without beauty of background or accessories, subdued in colour, and almost awkward in treatment.
Although Titian's. "Noli me tangere," in the London Gallery, is remarkable from a technical standpoint, it lacks t he reverent feeling displayed by some of the earlier painters. Christ is partially robed in white, and a hoe is unnecessarily placed in His hand, as Mary at first supposed Him to be the gardener. The golden light, the blues and olives of the landscape, together with the crimson of Magdalene's raiment, combine a feast in emotional beauty, which emphasises the feeling of this woman who breathes out her soul in the word, "Master," as she kneels before Him. In a curious picture by Jacob Cop r elisz, Amsterdam, dated 1507, Magdalene is richly dressed in semi-royal costume, but with her traditional blonde hair, falling loose from an elaborate head-dress worn by ladies of high sta"The Incredulity of St. Thomas," tion.

scope for that crude realism in which too many of them were wont to delight. Perugino's famous painting of the Ascension at Lyons is noticeable for the fact that the ascending figure of Christ is encircled by a wreath of Cherub heads. Painters usually associated angels with the Saviour, so when they began to depict the Ascension, .they were naturally led to suf.mund it with the ministrations and forms of angels, although the SCTir ture which relates how celestial b • sang at His birth, does not expressh: s tate that they were seen or heard by mortals, The subject has also been treated by Giotto (Arena Chapel). by Correggio (Church of Evangelista, Parma), and by Tintoretto (Scula di San Rocco). The last named painting is a unsatisfactory as Tintoretto's other representations of the scene. He seems more interested in details than in the truths which he meant to convey. The great significance of the Ascension is that Christ has taken into the Godhead His very Manhood, and that Ile will remain in the heavens forever, thrmighout all eternity, together with His Blessed Mother, to make intercessif ,r those who acknowledge I

See the Christ stand!" "
ANGEL PROTECTOR AGAINST LONELINESS. Loneliness is one of the dangers which we have to fear because of the inability of our moral nature to cope with the adverse forces of the invisible world: and, to meet this danger, the provident love of God has given us our Guardian Angel. Ever at our side there is a golden life being lived. A princely spirit is there who sees God, and enjoys the bewildering splendors of His Face, ever there where He is, nearer to us than the limits of An unseen our outstretched arms. warfare is raging round our steps, but that beautiful bright spirit lets not so much as the sound of it vex our ears. Ile fights for us and asks no thanks, but hides his silent victories and continues to gaze on God. His tenderness for us is above all words. His office will last beyond the grave, until at length it merges into a heavenly equality, when on the morning of the Resurrection we pledge each other in those first moments to an endless blessed love. Till then we shall never know from how many dangers he has delivered us, nor how much (if our salvation is actually due to him. Meanwhile he merits nothing by the solicitude of his office. He is beyond the power of meriting, for he has at• tam ed the sight of God. His work is simply a work of love, because his sweet presence at our side he knows to be a part of God's eternal and creative love towards our particular soul. SOCIETY OF ST. VINCENT DE P AUL, WA.

MODERN DISCONTENT Fidelity to religious principles was urged by Cardinal O'Connell, Archbishop of Boston, U.S.A., in an eloquent discourse to the members of the Holy Name Society in Boston. Veneration, he said, was the first act of Religion; without veneration there is no true reliigon. He urged his hearers to increase veneration for Almighty God through the honour paid to His Son.

The people are so r estless that they are fatigued even though they are doing nothing. This What is the is a terrible condition. remedy? First of all, what is the cause: what is really back of all this discontent? It is the lack of faith. When we understand the purpose of life here-below and the destiny of the hereafter, we come to the realisation that we are creatures of God. The understanding of our destiny We are glad to acbrings us peace. cept any blessings God sends to Us. Such a realisation does not bring fever, nor discontent—ambition that is never The nearer we approach satisfied. The Throne of Almighty God and the better we understand the benefits of the Supreme Being, the more humbly we accept whatever happiness He gives us in this mortal life and the more courageously we strive for the happiness that is eternal. This continuous striving, without a purpose or an end, is striving for what?

Now, without religion this is impos. sibls, for when a man begins to think that all there is in life is what he sees before him he is striving for things that he can never attain, and he is striving in vain, because life is so short that before he knows it it has all passed. That is the cause of universal discontent. Men have forgotten God. They are absorbed in petty trifles of the day. The gift of eternal life which Almighty God intends to confer on them at the end is worth striving for. but because they have no faith they tail .to appreciate its true value. You will find to-day that this adherence to religion is regarded as oldfashioned. It is not. It is the only solution of the riddle of life, the only remedy for discontent. Tolstoi, in one of his realistic sketches of Russian life, tells the story of a peasant, who, learning of the Russian tradition that a farmer could claim all the land he travelled over in one day. made the deposit of the equivalent of 1.000 dollars_with the authorities that were to check up on the amount of land travelled which was to pass into the peaasnt's possession at nightfall. The peasant arose early and started out briskly to walk as far as he could. so that he would become a great farmer with a large tract of land. He travelled far into the day. Realising that he could only walk from sunrise to sun. set and must be back with the checkers at nightfall, he turned and began the r eturn trip. He saw dusk approaching and toiled on zealously in order to be back before sunset, and claim his land and his 1,000 &liars deposit. He trudged along as the sun was setting, and finally after a tremendous effort, reached the starting point, only to fall dead from exhaustion at the moment the goal had been reached. whereupon the checkers calmly said that he did not have the land that had been traversed, and they kept his 1,000 dollars deposit. That represents in a very graphic way the conditions of unrest and di-content to-day. Men are never cl): fled, they are always running and ways, grasping, with fear in their heart.z lest they may lose Finally, after it i • all over, what is it? The grave, and that is the end. the inevitable end of all fooliA ambition. That is the end of discontenment
that never knows peace. That is The End of All This Unhapiness, that is pursued without thought of the happiness that is the gift of God. We should realise that all happiness is from God, and that our first duty is to Him. My dear men of the Holy Name, our Blessed Lord has shown the way. He gave us the only true philosophy or life. He taught us to bear the burdens of life as they come, with a cheerful heart, with complete submission to God's will, and to go on in whatever position we find ourselves in working out, first, our salvation, and then the happiness of a life that knows, loves, and serves God first, last, and all the time. That is what faith teaches us, day by day, hour by hour. From the time we were children we learned this lesson, but the world has forgotten it. Yet men will have to pay the price when they finally realise that all their efforts are of no avail. But even if they attain something of the riches of the world, or some of the honours of the world, it is all ashes in the end. without God's blessing. We have eternal life to live for. There is the great end. We should bear our burdens bravely and thus understand something of the suffering which •Christ underwent for us. Beyond the grave is the kingdom of God and eternal life. Who but a fool would hesitate to choose between one and the other? Oh, yes, we make our mistakes: we are not always as keen in our fidelity as we might be. Almighty God understands that. He knows how frail human nature is and to that end insti• tuted the Sacrament of Penance, m which man bows down to the earth in humility, but rises up with the Strength of God. That is the Catholic life, and there is nothing else worth having. nothing so completely satisfying. Now, my dear men, there are millions who are disseminating this gospel of discontent. They are enemies of God. Men of the Holy Name, why have you not as much zeal for the laws of God as His enemies have for their gospel? Why cannot you spread it as they who are trying to destroy all government, fancily, faith, and religion. Spread Their Nefarious Propaganda? Let us not be cowards in human life, but with a courage that comes from God's grace, face our cross with peace of mind and contentment of soul. That is happiness. Go out and preach that gospel, a, these enemies of God and mankind are preaching their gospel ,bringing about dust and ruin. There can be no government with these propagandists constantly undermining laws: there can be no peace until the peace of Christ reigns again, and you, my men, must be the apostles of that peace. By the power of heaven go forth with that s trength in your hearts. If you are men of courage and are completely dedicated to that gospel. we are sure of the welfare of America because, after all, these enemies of God are cowards, who work in the dark. secretly and sometimes violently. Me:1 of God, men of the Holy Name, go forth before the whole world with faith in your heart to preach the gospel of peace and contentment. This is my message to you: stand firm; show Your faith in God, and be a tower of strength. for contentment and happiness here below is a' pledge of your e ternal hereafter.

Catholics Watch India Educational Policy
Madras (India).—The Archbishops of Madras and Pondicherry, the Bishop of M ylapore, and representatives of twelve dioceses in Southern India took part in the fourth general meeting cf the Catholic Educational Council, held at Mylapore, the third week in December. The chief business of the meeting was the critical examination of the policy of the Government of Madras in regard to elementary education and its probable effects on the future of Catholic schools.
Resolutions were passed emphasising: (1) The need for an educational survey in each diocese as a preliminary to properly locating higher elementary schools, converting inefficient schools into junior schools, or developing them into efficient schools with five standards and trained staff: (21 the necessity of creating a diocesan elementary education fund and the appointment of a full, time Diocesan Superintendent of Schools in each diocese to bring schools up to the required standard of efficiency: and (3/, the need of calling upon tie Executive Committee and the Catholic members of the Madras Legislative Council to watch present legislation and safeguard the fundamental rights of Catholics to run their own schools. The policy of. the Government is to start central schools with properly equipped staffs and large numbers
children in important localities, and eliminate small and inefficient schools. How gravely this policy affects Catho. lie schools is illustrated in the contemplated action in a Catholic fillage The Govof the diocese of Nellore. combine ernment has decided to schools of different denominations into one in Polur, Kurnoon district, where there are four schools, one Catholic, and Hindu, one Mohammedan, and one Protestant. The Protestants (Society for the Propagation of the Gospel) have been approached on the subject and have agreed, though not officially, to undertake the management of the proposed central school. Classes are to be allotted to buildings according to numbers. Thus, if the Catholic school has a larger number in the second class, the children from the other three will be housed along with their teacher in the Catholic school, and vice versa. The only religious training to be permitted in school hours is "moral ethics." Failure to co-operate with the scheme when put in operation .means deprivation of Government recognition and grant. The consequences of the local arrangement if carried out will be that Catholic children will be subject to a nonCatholic teacher; a non-Catholic teacher may be incorporated in the Catholic school, becoming even headmaster; and Catholic nuns may be compelled to teach in a non-Catholic school.

A pioneer group will work in the western half of the Apostolic Prefecture of Broken Hill under the Polish Jesuits until such time as it feels prepared to take full charge of the area.

AT MISSION TURKS STRIKE SCHOOLS. A serious menace to the Catholic schools in Turkey and in other Balkan countries is contained in the decision of the Turkish Minister of Instruction to secure a law forbidding children to attend elementary schools belonging to foreigners. For several years, the law requiring teachers in schools belongine to foreigners to be appointed by the Government has been a cause of many difficulties in the Catholic schools. The new law, if passed and put into operation, will mean the closing of the elementary school.: founded by the missionaries. DIED AT 109—BUILT OWN TOMBSTONE.

Defender of Papacy Acquitted in Indian Libel Suit Ernakulam (India).—Mr. I. C. Chakko, Catholic author and defender of the Papacy, was acquitted by Mr. N. S.

The case, which lasted a year and a half, was one of the most sensational in Malabar in many years. Six lawyers, including the leading Hindu criminal lawyer of Travancore High Court, appeared for Mr. Chakko. The acquittal is hailed by the Fides correspondent at Ernakulam as equal to the recent submission to Rome, in September. 1930, of the two Jacobite bishops. Mar Ivanios and Mar He writes: Theophilus.

People who were so far placing implicit confidence in the writings of Mr. Daniel, who is a very columinoils anti-Catholic writer, have begun to distrust his assertions.

Patrick Henry Rahilly, a noted Minnesotan legislator, philanthropist, farmer, pioneer, died recently at Lake City, Minnesota, U.S.A. The death of Mr. Rahilly, who was ninety-eight years old, closed a distinguished career. Born in Limerick, Ireland, he went to America when he was fourteen years old. Three years later he left his family and settled in New York as a farmer. After some banking experience in the east, Mr. Rahilly returned to Minnesota, acquired some land and continued to add t o it until he possessed a farm of 1,600 acres, considered the finest of its kind in the locality. In 1874 Mr. Rahilly served his first term in the State House Four years later of Representatives. he was returned to the same office, and in 1879 served in the State Senate, later becoming again a member of the Lower House. In 1925 he was made a Knight of St. Gregory the Great for "his unblemished character and constructive interest in civic and church affairs." A £1,200 pipe organ was one of his gifts t o St. Mary's parish. Mr. Rahilly was said to be, at the time of his death, the oldest Knight of Columbus in Minne:ota. -TUMULT IN THE SOULS."

The Cardinal bases his protest on the Catholic disapproval of cremation. In a letter to the Press, the Cardinal says it is just that the nation should desire to express its gratitude and admiration towards the dead patriot. The method chosen, however, should not have failed to respect the traditions of the country. Conceived in the form of funeral honours rendered to the ashes of a burned body, the tribute, declares the Cardinal, challenges the Catholic conscience, which disapproves of cremation. "The Belgian nation are not in sympathy with such an ill-placed demonstration," he says. "It runs counter to time-honoured usage and affronts common sense, since funeral ceremonies are meaningless after the destruction of a body by inceneration." RECEIVED INTO THE CHURCH. Mr. Morgan Morgan, the conservative candidate for the Upton Park Division at the last election in England, was received into the Church on Shrove Tuesday by the Rev. Father Sylvester, 0.F.M., at St. Anthony's Franciscan Church, Forest Gate. In the Capuchin College, Assisi, Italy, last month.

CORRUPTION BY POSTERS AND PICTURES, The Executive of the Catholic Young Men's Society of Leeds (Eng.), have commenced a campaign against the objectionable pictures and posters so often displayed at cinemas and other places of amusement. It is a work which should appeal to the members of the society, said the national president. It is an appalling fact, he continued, that only two per cent of the films produced to-day could be considered, from a Catholic point of view, as fit to be placed upon the screen.

A dim winding street in Seville. T hrongs of people standing silent, waiting. A movement at the further end. The light of candles flickering uncertainly. Priests and penitents.

Qtdet, but Not Awed. The famous ceremonies which mark the end of Lent begin with the blessing of the palms—great golden fronds ten and twelve feet tall—in the Cathedral at 8.30 o'clock on Sunday morning. At Vespers that evening the sacred banner, vast and rich is unfurled before the High Altar and displayed to the people. Then from the various churches of the city come the processions, making their ways by devious routes towards the Cathedral. The order of every day is much the same. Through the sunny hours, the old town drowses. In the late afternoon, the humble folk crowd the streets. Those of the better class am pear at their windows. on balconies. or ( together with the tourists) fill the chairs set out to rent in certain open spaces. The mayor, with accompanying dignitaries, appears in a velvet. eirapedd stand set up before the Town Hall. They wait, all these people. with endless patience, for the coming of the processions which are the core of the week's rich pageantry. This waiting is a curious thing. There are thousands of quiet people among whom the vendors of sweetmeats, of balloons, of trinkets, even of water, ply their wares. There is little noise and no rowdyism. The people are quiet, they are even reverent. Yet there is in the atmosphere of these Sevillian streets nothing but the hushed awe that envelopes the religious expression of northern lands.

Of blood and agony, of the horror of that dreadful scene, the nakedness of Spanish realism spares us no last detail. On the other the Virgin stands beneath a rich canopy upheld by silver rods. , She is gowned in velvet heavy with broidery. She wears a golden c rown, she is loaded with jewels— those for which no place can be found on her person are heaped at her feet. Fresh flowers surround her (one hundred and twenty dozen white carnations is no unusual tribute) and myriad tall candles flicker before her. No peasant this, no brooding mother, but the most exquisite of ladies to whom these people, from of old, can scarcely dc sufficient honour. Seville, we must remember, was the home and breeding ground of the doctrine of the immaculacy. Not for nothing was the province called Tierre de Maria Santisima.

As earh procession passes there is a lightening of tension, a general movement in the crowd. People flock out into the streets at will. But always there is quiet. Now and again a man appears on a balcony. or perhaps stands in the street and raises up his voice in one of those poignant melodies that seem to cut the very air. Saetas, meaning arrows, they are called. They constitute the only breaks, but the people seem infinitely content to stand from late afternoon until far into the night, with processions passing at uncertain intervals.
arc wails oi sorrow. When the last ot the Nazarenes has filed through the Cathedral, there begins the Sermon of the Passion, which ends with the words "It is finished." But the drama of Holy Week is not yet ended. At 6 o'clock that afternoon the last of the processions move through crowds that are even more silent than those of the preceding days. This is the night of death. Twelve pasos file by. Then there is a sense of tightening tension. The officers of the municipality of Seville, at once splendid and dignified in gorgeous uniforms and multitudinous decorations, move sedately into view. The Roman soldiers follow. Then a young girl in white, with hair unbound, carrying extended the handkerchief of St. Veronica.

Scions of the Royal Line Proud Heritage of Catholics. "We are not scayengfiers for the world's favour. We are Royalty, successors in the Royal line from the King of Kings." This declaration was made by the Rev. Father Owen Dudley, in the Town Hall, Gateshead, England. at a demonstration organised by the Hexham and Newcastle Diocesan Council of the C.Y.M.S. To-day non-Catholic bodies were becoming more and more absorbed into the world, levelling down to the world's level, waiting on the world's will, and always fearing the world's disapproval. The Catholic Church faced the worlri with her unity, and that amazing unity was visible to the whole world, while the other churches were hopelessly disunited and were contradicting each other. "Supposing I had half-a-dozen Church of England bishops sitting here," said Father Dudley. "Supposing here was sitting Dr. Barnes, next door to him the Bishop of London, and again next t o him Dean Inge. There are a Low Churchman. a Modernist Churchman, and a High Church Bishop all together. "Supposing I were to ask them 'What does the Church of England stand for? What does she teach? In five minutes or less we should be clearing this platform for the first round. They would be arguing their heads off as as to what the Church of England did stand for. Apply that to all the leaders of Nonconformist bodies and they would immediately disagree. "There is no unity of belief outside t he Catholic Church. The Catholic Church is one in her worship because she is one in her Faith. She faces the world with her holiness, her catholicity, and her apostdficity. "No national Church can be the international Church of Christ. The Catholic Church alone preaches to all nations. After centuries of persecution, she dares to rise again and set us altars against Protestant communion tables. The Catholic Church by her very daring proclaims herself the Church of Christ. "If we were turned out of this land t en thousand times, we would come back again time and again until the end of the world.

The pasos come from the various parish churches of the spectators. and many of them have descended from generation unto generation of these people. Quaintness of Tradition. The Christ of Great Power from San Lorenzo stands on a silver platform with an adoring angel at each comer. For all that, lie is a blood-stained, sweat-streaked sufferer, falling beneath the burden of His Cross. La Maracrena from San Gil is a young and supple woman of the people and the best loved of all the Marys of Seville. Her nearest rival, the Virgin from the Gipsy suburb of Triana, is taken. with a roll of drums at dawn, to pay a visit of consolation to the women prisoners. Upheld before the grim walls of the gaol, she is an object of anguished adoration. As for the Nazarenes, these Brotherhoods have been a part of the life of Seville for five hundred Years. Each procession comes from its parish church, makes its way by whatever route it will through the city. but turns at last into the Calle de las Sierpes, crosses the Piaza de la Constitucion, and proceeds to its ultimate goal, the High Altar of Santa Maria de la Sede. Good Friday is, of course, the climax of the week of mourning. The processions start at 2 o'clock in the morning and arc marked by an atmosphere of intense solemnity.

Outer World Brevities. Khartum (Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, Africa).—The persistence of the British Postal system and the complete isolation of some Catholic missionaries, are exemplified in the remarkable 20,000 mile journey of a letter from Italy addressed to "Father X., Catechumenate of the Immaculate Conception, Bin, Africa." The existence of this catechism school is known only to the missionaries in charge. "Bin" is not a town, but the name of a tribe living in the vicinity of Wau (the centre of the Catholic Vicariate of Bahr-el-Gazal), and does not appear on any map. The letter travelled, according to its. postmarks, to Cairo (Egypt), to Mombasa ( Kenya Colony), to Zanzibar (Tanganyika Territory), to the Cameroons ( West Africa), to the Cape of Good It was then Hope (South Africa). forwarded to the Colonial Office in London. which declared that a tribe called the Bid was to be found in BahrelGazal.

Ernakularn (India) —Fifteen young women of the Malabar Coast of India, constituting the first group of Syrian Catholic girls for missionary work in other parts of the country, left Ernakulam, Malabar, to labour in the diocese of Vizagapatam, January 2. Under ordinary circumstances, they will never return to their own country. (Chihli. China) —The Suanhwaftt confidence of a Chinese Bishop. His that his Lordship Bishop Tcheng, pagan fellow countrymen would interest themselves in a Catholic library, where daily lectures were given, is being rewarded. The hall was opened.

Rome.—The quiet and unsensational advance in the development by the Catholic Church of an indigenous clergy and indigenous sisterhood in missionary countries, is evidenced in a number Of recent first religious professions, which present a picture of progress in four countries. These professions, it must be stated, do not represent the first of any race or nation to become priests or religious, but merely of certain sections. or as members of particular orders or congregations. China reports the pronouncing of temporary vows at Ankuo on December 24, by the first eight novices of the "Brothers of St. John the Baptist," a Chinese religious Congregation founded by His Lordship Bishop Melchior Buen. CM., Vicar Apostolic of Ankua. Indo-China reports the simple profession. at Hue. on December 9, of the first five Annamite Brothers of the Redemptorist Order. Africa reports the profession. at Ouagadougou. in French West Africa. of the first seven African girls to become nuns as members of the Congregation of the Immaculate Conception. These pioneers were tried and tested during five years postulancy and two years' novitiate.

Rome.—Exceptionally impressive are the statistics of the Franciscan Missionaries of Mary for the year 1930. In the care of the sick alone, 3,035,765 were treated, more than equivalent to nursing the population of the city of Paris or the entire Irish Free State, if every citizen were suddenly stricken. In various asylums. schools, work shops and such institutions, 66,000 children were assisted or educated. Fiftyeight hospitals cared for 78,725 patients; 123 dispensaries treated 2,952,482 people; eight leper asylums housed 1,959 inmates; and nine lazar-houses 2.500 inmates. Visits to the poor totalled 37,707, to the sick 191079, and to those in prison 25,203. Baptisms administered in danger of death by the Sisters amounted to 46,188, of which The Franciscan 35,521 were adults. Missionaries of Mary, with Mother House in Rome. have a personnel of 5,144, of whom 1,828 are labouring on mission fields. Departures for the missions during 1930 totalled 104.

Troubles Life with its troubles makes us doubly appreciative of its joys. How welcome the sun is after days of cloud and So, too, when the dark shades rain! of trouble disappear we are happy beings. There can be no disputing the fact that life brings with it a reasonable amount of trouble to each and everyone of us. You could search the world over and interview each member of the universe and all would confess to some sort of a worry or trouble. No one is absolutely happy in this life. It is one of the strongest arguments of the immortality of the soul. Emerson once made the statement that "Life is a festival only to the wise." and that because the wise accept life cheerfully and as it is, that they can smile and make it a festival. They They are are not blind to trouble. not without trouble. But they have learned the secret of facing it with courage and high hopes to conquer and make good. It is a pitiful sight to see a man give Poor creature, way beneath trouble. he must have been under the impression he was living in an Utopia, where trouble could not touch him. Yet when his idea has been wrong and he found trouble upon him, shivered and shrunk from it like a coward. How soon can a life be ruined by this delusion that trouble exists for someone else but not One stroke of misfortune for him? and the first trouble changes them completely to cynical beings with little to live for, and very little interest in life itself.

ate the troubles which fall to our lot. No one else could suffer as we do. No one knows the agony of our hearts. We find ourselves in a self-pitying mood, and dwell at length upon our misfortunes. When, as a matter of fact, we could look about and be thankful that we have not another's troubles to bear; someone's who is far worse off than we. It is a case of struggle. It is either your victory over trouble or trouble's victory over you. We can decide which it will be. I have heard many people advise laughing at their worries and cares, trials and misfortunes; but who can do that? We are all human. There are all kinds of troubles, little ones and big ones. Some we can shake off very quickly and with little thought. Others, by their very nature are hard to lose and linger with us to annoy and worry. Troubles are like an army of enemies swooping down to conquer us, and we must confront them like a brave soldier. And with us we must carry the weapons necessary for defence if not conquest. Faith is the strongest and mightiest of all, and with it we can do wonders. It is a battle against self and especially pitying self. We cannot allow our fear to sap the vitality needed in combat. We must face the situation with high hopes, courage, and an abundance of self trust. There is often the suspicion that things will fail, that the outcome will be far worse than vou can imagine, that there is little need for any attempt to fight against trouble: and all these things are conducive to weaken our courage, to dampen our spirits and break our faith. We can look back now at any number of troubles and smile at our victory, laugh at our exaggerated ideas concerning the outcome. We say that those were just trifles though we regarded them as mountains at the time. That is the way most of them work out. To-day's trial is the worst, and to-morrow we will look back on it with a smile. We are always confronting crises which put us to the test. No one has been without them. No one has been great without them. No great man could be great without them. It is the victory over. self. It is the persistency in fighting to the finish once you have dared to face the battle.
have impulses, good intentions, high hopes and aspirations of meeting the tests required of us; but the one who perseveres and remains cheerful is the one who can be considered great. If we could be philosophical enough to consider that the day is only twentyfour hours long, and the day's trouble is enough to handle without borrowing worries for the morrow, we would find ourselves in a stronger position to handle the situation. And if, during that one day, you will try to smile and be optimistic and cheerful, it will help you a long way to ride over most of the difficulties. A long face and a sour attitude of mind never aided a victory over trouble. Then you are entirely alone, but a smile and a cheerful heart help tremendously to stimulate your action to persevere and win. Foresight is wise, but foresorrow is suicidal and as a kind soul once said: "Castles are at any rate better than dungeons, in the air." There is no people created too weak or timid that they cannot resist troubles which make them into cynical, pessimistic and disagreeable people. Ever since the world began, humanity has had its share of trouble and no one can side step it. To face it bravely, with a stout heart, an abundance of faith and some optimism is all that is required of us. Sorrows and troubles may bend the spirit for a time, but it was not. intended that they should break us entirely. Rather troubles bring out the best in man and make him a noble creature —The Looker On." adarainon.

The Undying Hope of Easter
-Easter is the feast of hope and the pledge of happiness that cannot be dimmed, and of life that mocks the grave. A t. the sepulchre from which Christ has risen we gather flowers that will not fade and blossoms that never. lose their fragrance. They are an antidote for the days when our hearts grow weary and heavy within us and when our feet drag on the rugged and thorny paths of life. One balmy breeze wafted from the empty sepulchre of the risen Christ has the power to strengthen us for the battles that confront us and for the journey that vet lies before us. There is a wonderful charm in Easter. The very thought of it thrills the soul with a sublime courage that The very name nought can subdue. rings out like a bugle call that rallies all our energies to one heroic, magniMen need the message ficent effort. of Easter; for they need hope. as they need light and the air. Hope is man's best friend here on earth. In the darkest hours, it whispers into his ears the happy message In the bleak o: the coming dawn. days of long winter months, it speaks to his heart of the sunny spring that is even now stirring. In the cheerless days when the face of the sun is hidden by black clouds and grey mists, it gives him assurance of the glorious triumph of light over darkness. At the very brink of the grave, its voice is heard speaking in clear and unequivocal accents of the victory of life over death. As long as hope dwells in the heart .of man, no burden seems unbearable, no road seems too long, no path too steep. no night too dark. Hope has a magic touch which transforms stumbling blocks into stepping stones, burdens into wings. Hope makes us face toward the east where the golden rose of dawn bursts into glary. Hope spills splashes of crimson around the horizon and tips the hills with fire when the valleys are still buried in gloom. Hope makes us catch the fragrance of ,rem when the echo of the last stroke of midnight is still lingering on the chilly air. It urges us onward. It quickens our footsteps and puts music into our heart beats. The undying power of Easter lies in its appropriate symbolism. The grave spells defeat for man. In its presence, he is utterly helpless. Here, his ambitions cease and all his plans are wrecked The grave has but one meaning for man. It is defeat which baffles him and frustrates all his designs. To the grave everything sue, curabs and surrenders. But that Easter on which Christ broke the seal which death had see upon the grave has changed all this. The grave is no longer the end. It is a beginning. Banners of hope wave over every grave and the flowers of promise grow on its edge. Life can be eclipsed, but it • cannot be annihilated. The victory may be delayed, but it cannot be turned into defeat. The good may be temporarily obstructed, but it cannot be conquered. Justice may be impeded. but finally it will triumph. Virtue may be enslaved, but it will break all bonds. The evil may have a brief day of success, but the evening will come and sweep away the last remnant of its short sway. In the moral world. weeds have a short and fitful life, but the good plants possess an unquenchable vitality. This is the symbolism of Easter. The world of to-day needs the le.son of Easter. It needs more than ever t he promise of the final triumph of justice: for, it would seem that wrong and injustice had established their reign on earth and that evil held irresistible sway. The power of evil will crumble before the breath of time. ou may bury injustice beneath mountains; yet it will rise and confound its enemies. You may bend the right to. the ground, but it will rebound with rejuvenated resiliency and undiminished vigour. That is the consoling Inessage and comforting promise of Easter. This world will have its Easter. even as Christ has had His Easter. It is bound to come. It must come. Nothing can shake our trust in the happy destiny of this world. We do not fear the future. We do not distrust the happy issue. We have no misgivings as to the outcome. Be it ever so dark, upon the night follows the dawn. Christ has had His Gethsemane and His agony. He has had His Golgotha and His Good Friday. But on the wings of time came His Easter and His Resurrection, As His sufferings were t hickening around Him, Easter was approaching and coming nearer with silent footsteps. Nations have their Gethsemane. They pass through
THE RECORD. agony and death. They may be trodden down aad ground into dust. They have their Golgotha and their Good Friday. But they will also have their Easter and their glorious resurrection. That is the law of this world. Easter never comes without Good Friday. But Easter comes infallibly after Good Friday. The way to life, freedom, happiness, joy and triumph, for man and for nations, is over Golgotha. MAYLANDS.

Mr. Pannir Selvam, who is a barrister, President of the Tanjore District Bdard, and the representative of the three million Catholics of India, expressed satisfaction that the caste system was slowly but steadily giving way to social standards which would more surely bespeak equality and friendship and make for unity, and the conseouent benefit of the country.

During the evening an adjournment was made to the adjoining hall, where a sumptuous feast had been prepared. The tables were tastefully decorated, pride of place being given to the threetier birthday cake on the top table. Rev. Father Halpin, in proposing the toast of Miss Tindal, eulogised her sterling qualities, and congratulated Mr. and Mrs. Tindal on the occasion of the coming of age of their eldest daughter. Miss Tindal responded. Mr. J. Kendrick proposed the toast of the parents. Mr. Tindal humorously responding. Absent friends were toasted at the instance of Mr. J. Tindal, and the usual honours were accorded the chairman on the proposition of Mr. T. Moore. A pleasing feature of the evening was the presentation of a large silver key by Mr. Tindal to his daughter. The key was later inscribed with the signatures of all those present. During the evening numerous telegrams received were read. and the host of presents, both valuable and useful, were exhibited. The festivities were continued until a late hour.

The comments that have reached me have been rather generous and kind towards the new syllabus. It is very consoling to learn that the teachers are satisfied with the reform, and do not c onsider them too burdensome. - The making of Friday's period a liturgical lesson for all classes from the Infant Schcol to the Leaving Classes, is the main innovation. I feel sure that by the end of the year it will be a happy one, blessed with fruits in the increased interest of teachers and children in the Liturgy. If any teacher has any difficulty in filling that period with the courses as outlined, viz., explanation of prayers, the Mass, the passing year, the externals of the Church, I shall endeavour to be more explicit and more detailed. One criticism that may be dealt with now: "The advanced classes should not be asked to revise too much of the work set for the earlier classes, especially if anything new be added." The revision in the three advanced grades (Junior, Leaving I. and II.) is confined to prayers, and the Mass. Both of these should have been thoroughly done before pupils reached that stage, and consequently the revision of them need not take up much time. If the unusual prayers were said occasionally during appropriate seasons, v.g.. Memorare in May, and the Mass was done as part of Friday's lesson, I feel that the burden of revision would be greatThe death occurred at the St. John ly lessened.

Saturday, April 4, 1931. NEWS FROM IRELAND—
How Whately Hoped to Proselytise Irish Children A Scheme that Failed With the approach of the centenary of the establishment of what was known as the "National System" of education in Ireland. some references to the history of that system, and, in particular. to the educational handicaps under which Irish Catholics laboured throughout the greater part of the last century, are particularly appropriate just now, says a writer in the "Dublin Standard." Before Emancipation, as is well k nown, educational facilities provided by the State for the poorer classes in reland were avowedly of a Protestant I and proselytising character. Catholics could not, of course, conscientiously avail of these, and were driven to the makeshift system, if such it could be These called, of the hedge-schools. institutions had at least the merit of not interfering with the religion of the Catholic children: on the contrary, the C -tholic Catechism and other instructive, devotional works were taught in nearly all hedge.schools, and many a young student owed his preparation for entrance to Maynooth College to the zealous labours of the hedge-schoolmasters. Mr. Stanley's System. Mr. Stanley, the Chief Secretary for Ireland. who fashioned the "National System- in 1931, was well-intentioned enough as regards giving Catholics what he considered a fair deal in the matter of elementary education facilities. The main objects of his system were: 01 The education of the poorer classes in Ireland: (21 The prevention of proselytism in State schools: and (31 The establishment of a system of "mixed" education. whereby Catholics and those of other denominations would receive their secular instruction together and their religious instruction separately. The first Board of National Education consisted of seven members, of The whom five were non-Catholics. presence of the then Archbishop of Dublin, Dr. Murray, in the board was one of the chief factors in inffuencing Catholics throughout the country, lay and clerical, to give some countenance to the system. The non-Catholic CT Protestant majority on the board did their best from the outset to nullify the good intentions of Mr. Stanley. and to administer the system in a manner as unfair to. Catholics as they could devise. Dr. Whately. an Englishman. who was then Protestant Archbishop of Dublin. and Carlisle. a Scottish Presbyterian minister, were the leading spirits in endeavouring to infuse into the system as much as possible of anti-Catholic bias. Carlisle, who before coming to Ireland had been an official of the Bible Society, succeeded in a short time in getting himself appointed to the important and influential post of paid Resident Commissioner. Dr. Whatety's Candour. Dr. Whately. who was the author of a number of controversial theological works. sought to have these introduced into all the schools indiscriminately, at the public expense, and although the board's rules provided that all books used in schools should be supplied to the children at cost price, the Protestant majority on the board refused to put these principles in force in respect of purely Catholic works used for the purpose of instructing the Catholic children in the rudiments of their Faith. Dr. Whatelv, for one, made no secret of the fact that he valued the "National" education system chiefly as a proselytising agency. His daughter, who wrote his biography, quotes him as saying in this connection: "I believe that mixed education is gradually enlightening the masses of the people, and if we give it up. we give up the only hope of weaning the Trish from the abuses of Popery. I cannot openly support the Education B oard as an instrument of conversion. I have to fight its battles with one hand, and that my best, tied behind me. The diffusion of Scriptural knowledge is the great instrument of conversion." Reasserting Ascendancy. And he boasted that "the education supplied by the National Board is gradually undermining the vast fabric of the Irish Roman Catholic Church."

A t an early stage the Christian Brothers. who had been doing such splendid work for Catholic education in Ireland almost from the beginning of the century, allowed their schools to come under the jurisdiction of the new board in order, for one reason, to participate The Brothers, in the State grants. however, finding the conditions so irksome in respect of the exclusion from the schools and from the school day of everything regarding the Catholic religion, withdrew after a short time. and so they remained as long as the "Naticnal Board" remained. "Stop the Clock!" An incident that occurred in a southern town during the brief period of the Christian Brothers' connection with the board was made the subject of a little poem by the late T. D. Sullivan. entitled "Stop the Clock." It appears that in the Brothers' schools in the town, the boys had been trained to bless themselves and say some short prayers every time the clock struck. This practice was, needless to say, absolutely contrary to the rules of the system of "National" education, and, accordingly, when one of the board's inspectors was known to be in the neighbourhood, the clock was deliberately stopped lest its striking should betray the accustomed practice of the pupils. "I'. D's." verses describe a pupil rushing into the school and informing the Brother of the approach of the inspector, and then— The teacher sighed and turned around. He touched the swaying pendulum, The clicking wheels forbore to sound, The hands stood still, the clock was dumb. How the Catho;• : people, in the face of the ditlicukties of their position maintained their connection with the board during the first two or three decades of its existence, is a marvel. The unwearying vigilance of the Catholic the unceasing Bishops and clergy, watchfulness of the few Catholics on the board and of the Catholic Press and Catholic members of Parliament succeeded, after a long and tedious struggle, in at least removing from the system the taint of proselytism. "Happy English Children.," That was one thing—the main thing. The religious issue so predominated in the early years of the system that other considerations were forgotten. The de-nationalising or Anglicising tendency of the system from its inception was never attempted to be hidden. A nation of "happy English children" was sought to be raised up by the national schools, and not a line of Irish history or Irish literature was allowed to be taught. The old language was contemptuously brushed aside as a sunival of barbarism whenever and wherever it manifested itself. Not until the "seventies" were the National Teachers allowed to include it in the category of "extra subjects" they might teach. From the beginping, the position of the teacher under the "National" system was far from enviable. His personal liberty and initiative were restricted; his salary was small in those days, and the power placed in the hands of the board's inspectors and officials in dealing with him was much too sweeping. Happily, to-day, most of these conditions have gone for ever. The Christian Brothers are once more condu,ing their schools under the national education authority, and they no longer need to rush to stop their clocks on the approach of the inspector. We are altogether too much inclined to forget that after the Act of Emancipation had been passed. a second battle, almost as uphill a fight as that which resulted in the victory of 1829, had to be waged over many weary years—the struggle for fair play for Catholics in education. Outstanding figures in this fight were, besides O'Connell and Archbishop McHale, three Archbishops of Dublin---Dr. Murray, Cardinal Cullen. and the late Dr. Walsh.
Blasphemous Papers Redemptorist Father's Protest. Rev. J. B. Coyle, C.SS.R.. Esker, when speaking at the women's retreat in St. Joseph's Church, Galway, described a recent article in the "Daily Mail" as a scandalous and blasphemous one. Blazoned across the tap of the paper, said Father Coyle, was: "Sensational New Uncensored Life of Christ." It was not a life of Christ, but bits and scraps from the gutter literature of 1,900 Years ago, and worthy to appear on the principal pages of the gutter Press of Great Britain to-day. What was written by Jewish and Pagan antiChrists of the first century was considered up-to-date enough for the so-called or self-styled cultured crew who conducted some of the modern British newspapers of the 20th. century. It was no wonder that poor Protestant England was being robbed of any of her little faith through such blasphemous papers and "Lives of Christ." The same methods could be used to rob Ireland of the Catholic faith. "Had the Galway Urban Council no power to prevent blasphemous insults to Christ and His Church on earth?" asked Father Coyle. Had the Civic Guards no power? Had the Government no power? He asked the newsagents to east away these putrid rags, and not to handle them, and he asked the people, Catholic and Protestant, not to buy them. They were only fit for the scavenger's cart. At the conclusion of his sermon. Father Coyle got all the congregation to stand up and renew their allegiance to Christ, the King, holding up their right hands and saying, "Long live Christ, the King." Posters were torn down by some people. Cashel Takes Action. Cashel newsagents have decided to discontinue the sale of the -Daily Mail" in consequence of its publication of the blasphemous article regarding the Saviour. At the devotions in Cashel, Rt. Rev. Mgr. Dean Ryan, P.P., V.G., denounced the. blasphemous contribution in the "Daily Mail," and called upon the people to cease buying a newspaper which treated the Redeemer He asked the with such disrespect. people to refrain from buying all English newspapers as a Lenten offering in reparation for the insult given to Our Lord in the "Daily Mail.- The 8 o'clock Mass, celebrated by Dean Ryan. was specially offered in reparation to the outraged Saviour. At a meeting of the Castlebar branch of the Catholic Truth Society, Rev.
Geoffrey Prendergast, presiding, a resolution was adopted protesting most emphatically against the action of the "Daily Mail" in publishing a blasphemous article, "Sensational New Uncensored Life of Christ," as they looked upon it as an insult to Christianity. The resolution called upon the Catholic Truth Society to make representations to the Minister for Justice on the sub ject, with the object of preventing the publication in the country of such blasphemous articles.
"Nordic" Pretentions Bishop of Galway and the Carnegie Libraries, The Bishop of Galway, discussing in his Lenten Pastoral attempts at compromise on matters which are of the very essence of Christian morality, says that on such questions there can be no compromise. "It may be said," his Lordship goes on, "that Catholic Ireland knows and is prepared to obey the laws of God in this particular matter. When, for e xample, certain 'Nordics' endeavoured to have divorce legalised in this country, they were promptly and emphatically told what the Irish people thought of their ridiculous pretensions. "Still, there is a possibility that some Catholics may be led astray in questions other than divorce—questions which are shamelessly discussed in imported papers and magazines, and in the modern novels which constitute the chief 'cultural' asset of the Carnegie Libraries. "The foundation of practically all errors, ancient and modern, regarding matrimony is the assumption that it is merely a human institution and, as such,' is completely subject to human laws and to changes of circumstances. "Against this false theory the Church proclaims, with infallible voice, that Matrimony is of divine institution. Further, it is of Catholic faith that a valid marriage contract between baptised persons is one of the seven sacraments instituted by Christ." W. BURTON BUTCHER.

"He is Risen, as He Said" On Easter Sunday the Church rejoices in the great victory of the sacrificed Christ, rejoices in the fact that Christ rose for us, and that we are to share in all the blessings of His victory and Resurrection. ' "I arose, and am still with thee, Alleluia," Christ tecf .t.V.a:W out in the opening words of the Mass on Easter morn. What-eosaciling-woreis-irnd4iEn! These words bring us all into a full, living union with Christ, our Pasch. For it is Christ the Lord who speaks them, and addresses them to His Father. The !— priest who prays them, the choir Who sings them, the faithful who participate—all give to the Risen Saviour their lips and heart, think His thoughts, share His glory and emotion in. the celebration of Easter. •
Christ came not to dissolve the old Law but to fulfil it. By His ignominious death on the tree of the Cross, He restored men to the place occupied by them before Eve plucked the fruit from the tree in Paradise. By His death He led us out of the bondage of sin, at* of-t -land-of-the Egyptidasr-the-lantrotaer-riar -damnation, ant of the land of the devil. --into the promised lanclzfletring int ;tit malt ankritoneyc-Heiect Pier By the Precious Blood shed on the Cross He reddened the doorposts of our souls on the day of Baptism, and in Holy Communion we eat the Flesh of the true Paschal Lamb. Christ our Pasch is sacrificed. The Easter Preface in the Mass points explicitly to the double effect of. the Sacrifice of the Cross in the words: "Who by ding bath overcome our death, and by rising again hath restored our life.'* Easter is the completion of the Sacrifice of the Cross, the memory of which The overcoming of death, we commemorate on Good Friday. the pardoning of sin effected by Christ on the Cross leads to His Resurrection and the pardon and glorification of the Church. The bodily resurrection of Christ is the sign and cause of our spiritual resurrection. Christ by His death on the Cross entered into glory as by a gate; by this gate He also leads us into the land of grace, the land of the true life. • • •

THE RECORD.
We will only be able to understand the meaning of the Resur- • rection, appreciate its joys, and realise its consolations, if we learn the secret of the Cross. This secret learned, the Easter Alleluia will become a source of joy. What sweet comfort is it to know that the Risen Christ appeared first to those who had shared all the sorrows of Calvary with Him! The same Risen Christ is with us in the Blessed Sacrament. Wrapped in the white linen of love, He is hidden from our eyes, but He stands ever before us as He stood before Magdalen in the garden. He speaks to us as He spoke to her, words of the most affectionate greeting, and we thrill with joy at His nearness: Even should we have forsaken Him as His apostles did, or denied Him as Peter did. He will come if we are truly sorry and yearn for Him. There will he no rebuke, no upbraiding on His part. only words of mercy, pardon and Into the upper chamber of our hearts, the doors being shut love. to all worldly things. He will come bringing Easter joy and gladness, and in Holy Communion He will whisper His glad Easter Of this peace the Easter candle greeting: "Peace be to you!"

When the travellers drew night to the town. Jesus made as though He would go further, but the disciples persuaded Him to stay with them, because it was "towards evening!' And lo, "it came to pass whilst He was at table with them, He took bread, and blessed, and broke, and gave to them: and their eyes were opened, and they knew Him, and He vanished out of their sight." ("Stay with us, Lord," let us whisper to Him when He comes to us in Holy Commit. moo; and will He not enlighten our eyes too?). "Rising up the same hour," the disciples hastened back to Jerusalem to share their toy and new-found faith.

In that first visit to the Apostles Our Saviour gave yet another proof of His love towards them and towards all those "who through their word" should believe in Him. He instituted the Holy Sacrament of Penance. "As the Father has sent Me, I also send you. Receive ye the Holy Ghost! Whose sins you shall forgive they are forgiven them: and whose sins you shall retain, they are retained.He brings the whole merit of His Redemption with Him out of eternity, and makes of it in this Sacrament an inexhaustible and overflowing fountain for the forgiveness of sins." Let us thank Him lovingly for this inestimable benefit, and let us make use of it with joy and eagerness, since in receiving it we receive the price of His Precious Blood and His Sacred Wounds. The Gcspel narrative goes on to tell of the absence of St. Thomas on the occasion of this visit, of his unbelief, and Our Lord's ineffable 'condescension towards him—. giving him the proofs he had demanded.

Cardinal Merry Del Vals Anniversary Observed in Rome. The first anniversary of the death of Cardinal Merry del Val evoked many touching tributes of remembrance, testifying to the deep affection and esteem in which the late Cardinal was held. His tomb in the Crypt of St. Peter's was a place of loving pilgrimage all day long. Flowers covered it all over, and two Papal gendarmes stood by it on duty. A beautiful cross of violets from the late Cardinal's sister and w reaths from the working-men "Sanpietrini.” of St. Peter's, from his young men's club in Trastevere, and many o thers lay on the tomb. A rchbishop Cherubini, Archbishop Pelizzo, Mgr. Canali, the Cardinal's dearest friend, and many other prelates said Mass at the two altars near the tomb. Marquis Dominic Merry del Val and his sister were present at the Mass celebrated by Mgr. Canali. At Santa Prassede, the titular church of the late Cardinal, a solemn Requiem was held. Cardinal Rossi, the present titular, presided at the throne, and Abbot Pierami, 0.S.B., pontificated.

Out of the Metal-Pot Who shall decide when doctors dis The Premier (Sir James Mit agree? (-hell), reviewing the present difficulties of the State, recently advised more production. "We must prodhce more," has been the plaintive declaration of nearly every public speaker in his references to the changed condition of Australia's "Produce, produce," was the fortunes one panacea they had to counteract the financial drift, and we at one time heard them with irritating iteration. They were so popular that they were even talked of at wedding parties and • wakes. It would seem to the unintelligent, free and independent voter there was nothing else needed to lift Austra, Na again to the peak of affluence, but to work harder and produce,more. Then the tariff came, and Russian wheat, and the farmer found the market was a falling one and prices had dropped so depressingly low that the mention of greater production to him was like aspersing a beloved friend or holding out a red rag to a Bolshevik bull. There was a tightening up of purse strings, and a multitude of other causes that Mr. Scullin and his tarriffFactories makers couldn't foresee. couldn't find profitable work for their unemployment came hands—then camps, hungry people, and that degrading thing—the dole. The Premier, however Is an optimist: he still repeats "We must produce more." The Minister for Lands (Mr. Latham), who has just completed his tour of the Great Southern, advises the farmers to "grow less wheat." as a means to forcing up the price of wheat. That means not more production_ but under production—it means a lot of other things that are likely to become economic wasps to pest Government later on. Mr. Latham's advice is interesting, when contrasted with the advice of his leader, Sir James Mitchell. The class of film-makers who have been playing up to the depraved instincts of that section of society who delight in lurid plots and suggestive situations, are beginning to realise that they have over-stepped the bounds of prudence, and are now moaning against the growing movement b., cleanse the film factories of the dirt that has been brought into the business for commercial gain. Censorship in Ireland has raised a tumult in England against the filth of dirty suggestion in the cheap fiction exported to Ireland. tinder the covers of popular novelettes, and the yellow Sunday press of England. There has been a great drop in the "sales." and, of course, the offending parties are annoyed that the "liberty" of the press Their interest in has been assailed the freedom of the press is if a very dubious nature, and does not amount to much. It is measured by the sumtotal of their earnings—the wages of a disreputable craft. What is not uplifting in literature or art can have no rlecent motive, and indecency in these t wo spheres of cultural expression is an abomination that should he suppressed by grave penalties. On this question of censorship, as it applies to the stage, the distinguished Paulist Editor and lecturer, Father Jas. Gillis, addressing a meeting of the Catholic Actors' Guild, in New York, recently, said: "It seems to me that the stage is now in the same condition as t he liquor traffic in the days before prohibition. I remember well how the brewers and distillers were saying to the liquor dealers, 'Be good or you will bring national prohibition down on us.' But the liquor dealers would not behave, and they brought on prohibition.", This is practically the position of the authors and producers in the film industry to-day: they are competitors in the art of sensationalism and subjective humanism. .Their fingers are on the pulse of the average hedonist, whose palate must be attended to. The picture industry needs considerable overhauling, and the sooner a cleaner class of films replaces the stupid ephemera that is too frequently put upon the screen the better Why it will be for public morality. should the questionable life of the underworld and the depravity of night hawks in night clubs be put upon the screen, and why should the faults of the rime and the divorcee be forced into public prominence tinder the pretence of public entertainment? Whilst the financial interests of the Motherland are preaching the proprieties in financial morality to the Governments of this country, it wouldn't be inappropriate for them to begin some practices in self-introspection The recent statement by Arcos Ltd.. the Soviet trading association in
Saturday, April 4, 1931.
THE RECORD London, relative to the export of commodities from Russia to Britain, should be of absorbing interest to the British taxpayer with notions of Empire trade. They certainly demand the attention of the people of Britain's Dominions, who are looking to the Motherland for sympathetic consideration in their present difficult economic straits. There should not be the slightest doubt in any impartial and reasoning mind in this country concerning the nature of the labour used in the production of timber for the Russian export trade. All the arts of Soviet sophistry cannot whitewash the semi-slavery of the Russian timber trade. The statement by Arcos Ltd. should awaken a world of protest in Britain and her Dominions against a system that enslaves labour by means of beggarly payments under the pretence of free agreements, at great profits to the Soviet Government. The hollow mockery of the freedom of the peasant recruited for timber work in the northern regions of Russia to make a profitable agreement, must be apparent to anyone with average intelligence who reads the following: "The wages for timber-fellers are one rouble 75 kopeks a day (about 3s 9d), for sawyers 2 roubles 20 kopeks (about 4s 9d), for peasants with their own horses, about 3 roubles 30 kopeks ( about 7s)." To give a plausible countenance to this slavery in the Russian timber trade, we are told by Arcos Ltd. (once booted out of England neck and crop, now restored to full trading privileges), that the agreement provides for an eight-hours' day. That is possibly as long as a peasant could work in Northern Russia. and he would have to "go some" under the whip of the Soviet overseers. The pay would scarcely provide him with the meanest Russian diet, and when he had finished with his "seasonable occupation," he may with his little remaining strength crawl into his hole of a home and die, unwept and unuued for by this tragic Russian Government, in the presence of which the so-called Christian Governments of Europe are flattening themselves in servile obeisance. How much has been extorted from the impressed labour of the peasants of the northern regions of Soviet Russia we may guess from the fact that in 1930 127 British ships were chartered for the export of timber from the Soviet Union. and the amount paid for freights was £617,000. Payments for coal bunkered by these ships amount to £200,000. In plausible terms Arcos Ltd. tells the British taxpayer, in support of the `Russian timber trade with Britain, that on these two items alone nearly a million pounds of Russian money has come to England. Ah : but Arcos Ltd. does not say how much good British money that should have been spent within the Empire, upon which the Motherland must rely for help in days of stress and emergency, has gone into the Soviet Treasury to be used in the work of destroying British markets. What barefaced hypocrisy it is for Arcos Ltd. to tell Englishmen that the normal development or the timber trade between Great Britain and the United States of the Soviet Republic is in the interests of both countries. ---PLUS FOUR

Original Dance. Following their success of the previous Thursday evening, the club held a novel dance last Monday night. Under the electric lights of the club courts a string orchestra played music, to which those present (and there was a good muster) danced during the evening. Though somewhat diffident at first, it was found that once the crowd became used to dancing in tne open air, they enjoyed the sensation of novelty as well as the dancing itself. An audience, of course, collected in the street, but though its Members came to scoff, they were stricken dumb by the brilliance and beauty of the gathering, and went silently away. In conjunction with the dance a bridge evening was held, which enjoyed an equal success. The social committee of the club are very pleased with the success of these recent ventures, and are confident that the rest of the programme will be equally enjoyable and satisfactory. Results of Tournament. The annual tournament was concluded during the week-end, with the following results:— Women's Singles Championship: Mrs. Thomson beat Miss Byrne, 6-2, 6-0. Final: Miss M. Herbert beat Mrs. Thomson, 6-1, 6-1. Women's Doubles Championship: Misses Herbert and O'Connor beat Misses Waltho and Fogarty, 8-6, 6-1. Men's Doubles Championship: Final --Herbert and A. E. Heagney beat Winton and Prinderville, 6-2, 6-4. Men's Singles Championship: Herbert beat Kingston, 6-4, 6-2; Prinderville beat Outridge, 6-3, 6-1. Final: Herbert beat Prinderville, 1-6, 6-1, 7-5. Mixed Championship: Miss Herbert and Tully beat Mrs. Thomson and Winton, 6-3, 6-1; Miss Outridge and A. E. Heagney beat Miss C. Smith and B. S. Heagney, 6-3, 6-3. Final: Miss Herbert and Tully beat Miss Outridge and Heagney, 6-3, 6-4. Women's Doubles Handicap: Misses Smith and Corry beat Mrs. Thomson and Outridge, 64, 6-2. Final: Misses Smith and Corry beat Misses Murray and O'Connor, 6-2, 6-2. Men's Doubles Handicap—Final: Byrne and Coghlan beat Herbert and McGovern, 6.4. 4-8, 8-6. Mixed Doubles Handicap: Miss O'Connor and Tully beat Miss Murray and Coghlan, 2-6, 6-4, 7-5: Miss J. Kent and Herbert beat Miss Waltho and E. Ileagney, 6-2, 6-0. St. Brigid's Tennis Club, West Perth. In last week's issue of "The Record," the account of the annual report stated, owing to an error by the correspondent, that the mixed doubles handicap event in the club's tournament, had been won by Miss N. Webb and Mr. W. Pye. It is desired to point out that Mr. Pye's partner was Miss N. Dunne. • A fine programme of competitive tennis lies before our players in the near future. On Sunday, 12th, inst., a social match with St. Mary's will be played at Leeden-ille. The following week-end will see members at Northam, and on the 26th. inst., the return match with St. Mary's will be played at West Perth. Things are certainly moving at St. Brigid's! Members are urged to visit the King's Park Courts during this week-end. The play of the Davis Cup men and our local champions is both a joy and an inspiration, and should be fully availed of.

THE RECORD. should not only have held its own, but have proved quite a record. All night long, from the first strains., of the music to the Medley at 3 am., one had only to glance around the hall to see satisfaction and delight written on e very face. And how could it be otherwise! Nothing had been left ml. done, no work, no trouble spared by the splendid body of 'helpers to keep up the high tradition that has been set up for this, "The" Ball of the year. No family with a name and the spirit of the Rooneys could help doing something very extra-special on a night like St Patrick's. and Daniel O'Connell himself could hardly have out-done Mr. Unsworth in the whole-heartedness of the manner he rendered the accompaniment to the music of the orchestra The decorations of the On his comet. hall, too, were a revelation. Year after years designs have been adopted, each more beautiful, if possible, than its predecessors, but that of 1931 was outstanding, and by universal consent proclaimed the choicest of them all. The supper room also had been very tastefully prepared. the memory of Mrs Birmingham's success at last October's Ball, despite the months that have passed since then, being as fresh as ever, was a wonderful stumulant to And if the supper-room emulation. was prepared with so much pains, it was only to show to better advantage the choicest dainties that were there in profusion to back the decorations up. Ham sandwiches that would have tempted St. Patrick himself, pastry and cakes of every conceivable combine. tion and design, and to crown all, fruit salads, jellies, and trifles, such as you would hardly expect to see outside a banquet. Six sittings, each of 60 persons, were necessary before the last comer had been served, and it is a tribute to the generosity of those who donated the supper and to the management of those who dispensed it that, despite such an unexpectedly large attendance, the only ones to have to go somewhat rationed were the attendants themselves. Two o'clock struck before the last of the supper had ended, and at 2.30 hardly a soul seemed to be thinking of going home, all dancing as merrily as they were at the beginning, Mr. Sheridan between and Mr. Caligan. as them keeping the dances going in fine style. But all good things must come to an end: many of the people had come long distances, some up to 20 miles: not a few had to be at work early in the morning, and so with many regrets, but yet without complaint, at ten to three exactly came the end of the most successful St. Patrick's Ball that has yet been held at Manjimup. and that is saying a lot, the door takings being no less than £43.

THE RECORD.
Aunt Bessy's Corner DEAR NIECES AND NEPHEWS,— This is the Easter number; and Eastertide used in olden days to be st very special occasion. In some countries yet, on Easter Sunday, the greeting is still "Christ is Risen," and the answer, "He is risen indeed," a holy, happy time. Easter cards used to be exchanged, but such a lot of the dear old customs are falling into disuse; and it seems a pity. We are all becoming too matter-of-fact in these days, too much accustomed to take everything for granted. Suppose all the nieces and nephews make a big effort to bring joy and happiness into a lonely life this Eastertide. Bring happiness into your own homes by doing thoughtful little acts, speaking kind words, being obedient and throwing to the four winds that blow the spirit of discontent that is far too prevalent to-day. Be thankful for small mercies, grateful for any pleasures that come your way; but the greatest thing of all at Easter is to begin the day by going to Mass. Whatever you do, do not forget the Then most important thing of all. join heartily all (lay in any fun prepared for you, and when You return to school after the Easter holidays, return invigorated in mind and body, and settle down again to school work like giants refreshed. from Acknowledgements: Letters Kathleen Tindal, Joan Davis, Grace Panizza, Tom Depiazzi.

by Women to ilnterest AUNT TABITHA Of — Conducted
[ Social items from city and country are welcomed in this page, but must reach the office by Monday's mail. Address such to "Aunt Tabatha," Box J633, G.P.O., Perth.] More than likely, one of the oldest laws in the world is the law of hospitality, but in these days it is only too true that a lot of the entertaining that used to be done in the homes is being done in halls, restaurants, etc. There is not the kind welcome, the homely feeling that one feels in an entertainment in a home. Well, perhaps it is better looked at in this way that times have changed, but human nature has not changed. 'To-day a lot of wailing is being done by the older folk, and they seem to think that though in days gone by they were able to find amusement in the home circle, to-day the younger generation is unable to amuse itself. It may be so, but now-a-days things have to accommodate themselves- between the demands of the times and the demands of human nature, and this has not been done. Although "the home" may have moved with the times, the chief incentive has been, perhaps, the "As few rooms as saving of labour. possible, and no larger than we need," is the general cry. Then our friends cannot expect us to ask them to stay for a night, a week-end, or to spend a holiday with us. It is, therefore, not surprising to find that human nature, which has not changed in needing recreation, but which is educated to look for it in a more healthy and vigorous form, than in bygone days. turns to look for it outside the small and frequently crowded rooms of the homes, and alas! too often flats. Then, surely with regard to our friends and guests the entertainment we would like to find outside our own firesides is just the one they would like to find when they come to visit us. Entertaining, like charity, should begin at home, and because it does not, we hear the wail of parents that now-adays there is no family life at all. That is certainly the case in very many instances.. Sometimes we hear it said that the nation will suffer on account of the pleasure-seeking proclivities of There is much the rising generation for and much against that statement. just as if there had never been any deThe sire for pleasure until to-day. demand for amusement, taken in proportion, is no greater now than in the last generation, or than it ever was. The art of home entertaining has been so sadly neglected, that growing families have of necessity gone outside to find their amusement elsewhere, and this has given rise to the growing pessimism of the elders. It seems such an amazing thing that parents can sit down by lonely hearths, and let this state of affairs exist, doing a grumble against the expenses of the iunior's pleksures. when just a little forethought would soon show a remedy. You all know how attractive we make our homes when guests are expected. and the amusements we plan to But keep them from feeling bored. the moment they are gone we sink down to the same old hum-drum life. Why not make the same effort to keep an attractive home, a home full of amusement for our own young folk. !co one needs to spoil a family, hut we are certainly shirking our responsibilities as parents, if we say they must learn to entertain themselves and leave it at that. It is the duty of every father and mother to keep the young folks entertained at home, guests or no guests. Why should the brightest side of homes be shown to strangers, and the dull, gloomy side reserved for our own dear ones? Keep an up-to-date stock of games in the home. Do not reserve all little parties until the time conies when we have guests staying in the house. Let your sons and daughters entertain their own friends in your home. By doing so, you will be able to supervise their list of friends and gradually, but very carefully, eliminate all undesirable acquaintances. Let home be home in the truest sense of the word. There is no valid reason at all for the gigantic evil of home boredont that is planting its dragon claws on the sacred precincts of home life. Remember that the art of being hostess sometimes begins, but does not end, with the food and entertainment pro-

Mr. and Mrs. Keogh and family, who have been holidaying in Albany for several weeks, have returned to their station home, "Byro." on the Murchi• son. Mr. and Mrs. J. Cummins, who have been spending a holiday in Perth, left for Carnarvon by the Goscoyne. A very pleasant social and dance was recently given by church members, and was held in the Memorial Hall, Corrigin. The committee wish to thank all who contributed to the supper, which was served by Mesdames Baxter, Corr, Alusical items by Misses and Craig. Thomas, Hatfield, and Messrs. Wray and Efford, were greatly appreciated. The lucky-spot waltz was won by Miss Hatfield and Mr. M. Ding. A fter nearly eighteen months spent abroad, Dr. Michael O'Connor returned by the Italian MS. Remo. Friends of Hiss Eileen Foley, the popular pianiste of the'Karoola. will be sorry to hear that she is an inmate of St. John of God Hospital. Mrs. O'Grady. of Kalamunda, is entertaining Mrs. Thomason, of Cottesloe, as her guest. Mrs. Caesar, who has been staying with her sister. Miss McMullen, of Claremont. left last week on her return to Urella Station. Mrs. G. Hickey and her little son Brian. of Second Avenue. Mt.

Tindal. of Conwaystreet, Geraldton, entertained about ninety guests at the Stella Mans Presentation Convent last week, to celebrate the coming of age of their daughter Mary. Mrs. Tindal wore an ensemble of black georgette, relieved with Miss mauve and gold embroidery. Mary Tindal wore an exquisite frock of white georgette, moulded on long lines, with elaborately beaded bodice. A very enjoyable programme was contributed to by the Rev. Father Halpin. Misses L. Haley, S. Grc.essler, M. Burkhardt, Messrs. N. Mulligan. Groessler. and Brother Goggins. Mr. Don Mit(tell provided the dance music. Mr. J. Crameri ably carried out the duties of master of ceremonies.

The ladies' social committee of the Royal Automobile Club are holding a bridge evening on April 9. The evening's proceeds will be devoted to the Little Sisters of the Poor. Fashion. Fashion seems to move very swiftly. Already winter materials and modes have to come under discussion. Tweeds are always charming. hut this season's tweeds promise to be more charming still. Frocks still sport the capelet, but in many cases these are removable. Black jersey cloth is being used for three-piece costumes, but it requires an enlivening touch of a brighter colour. An uncommon three.piece suit was banded at the hem with interwoven s tripes of red and yellow to form a border. A plain black cardigan is worn over a jumper of yellow, inlet with black and red in bizarre fashion. I often wonder what we would do without that very useful article, the cardigan. Except for a change in colour and design, the styles have been the same for several winters. This year, however, we are going to have the choice of something different. They are going to be striped like a waistcoat at the back, and have silk collars and cuffs. Trim, tailor-made‘suits will still hold pride of place with the best dressed women Most of the new collars worn on blouses are rounded to follow the neck-line. Some shades for blouses are delicate pinks, and pale primrose, green and brown, in varying tones, will be the fashionable shade for winter

wear. A very comfortable looking f rock, in a shade of olive green, is on view at Foy's. The skirt is attached to the bodice at the waist. The front of the skirt has its pleats set in a slanting line to the side buttoning, and is cut in one piece. The bodice is made in wrapped-over style to continue the buttoned fastening line, and is relieved by a pique fold at the neck. A plain but smart frock is also on view made of small checked tweed. The frock is cut in one piece as far as the knees, from there a pleated flounce falls to about eight inches from the ground. The sleeves are bell-shaped, and the simplicity ef the whole design makes it very attractive. Brennan's are showing a nice range of hosiery. Have any of my readers ever wondered whether the fashion changes in hosiery? It certainly does. and yet we do not realise it. Ten to fifteen years ago nearly- every woman wore cashmere hose; some women, certainly, who were ultra-modern in their ideas, started to wear silk stockings, but silk was not universally worn. After the war the rage for silk stockings brought them into general wear; old people. young people, people of all classes joined the craze, and did not feel well-dressed unless dressed in silken Just after the war the fashosiery. hions called for very subdued colourings, blacks, browns, fawns, greys, but as time went on the colours changed. until champagne, flesh, sunburn, and other light tonings became fashionable. Still inure rapid changes were introduced, the ordinary heel was soon turned into a slipper heel, some of the more modern in ideas wearing parti-coloured heels. the V portion of the heel and ankle being black, or a darker shade t han the rest of the hose. Just look back for a moment and study the different changes in such a trifling part of wearing apparel in the last few years. "a pair of hose." Now-a-days the colours of our hose are altered to tone with the colours of our frocks; and to be quite up to date if the wardrobe has a rainbow in colour in frocks, we need a rainbow in colour in hosiery to harmonise. Winter Clothing. Such a lot (.4 poverty exists at the present time, and many families do not know where to find the necessary clothing for themselves and families. Will my fair readers go through their wardrobes and send all clothing that can 1* spared to the Society of St. Vin cent de Paul. Clothing is sadly needed.

'Mid pleasures and palaces, wherever we may roam, Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home." THE FIGHTERS. I fight a battle every day Against discouragement and fear; Some foe stands always in my way, The path ahead is never clear! I must forever be on guard Against the doubts that skulk along; I get ahead by fighting hard, But fighting keeps my spirit strong. I hear the croakings of Despair, The dark predictions of the weak; I find myself pursued by Care, No matter what the endI seek; My victories are small and few, It matters not how hard I strive; Each day the fight begins anew, But fighting keeps my hopes alive. My dreams are spoiled by circumstance, Mv plans are wrecked by Fate or Luck; Some hour, perhaps, will bring my chance, But that great hour has never struck: My progress has been slow and hard, I've had to climb and crawl and swim, Fighting for every stubborn yard, But I have kept in fighting trim. Ihave to fight my doubts away, And be on guard against my fears: The feeble croaking of Dismay - Has been familiar through my years: My dearest plans keep going wrong, Events combine to thwart my will, But fighting keeps my spirit strong, And I am undefeated still! WORDS OF WISDOM. Without prayers we have neither light nor strength to advance in the way which leads to God. He who cannot forgive others breaks the bridge over which he must pass himself for everyone hath need to be f orgiven. Our Lord does not so much consider the greatness of works as the love with which we perform them, and, provided we do our best, His Divine Majesty will cause our power to increase more and more each day. Where charity and prayer may be found there will not fail to be devoted care of the sick. Like the rising sun. You must advance and gather strength as you go.— St. Margaret Mary. Let pain be my food, let pain be my medicine, Let pain give me light, let pain strip me of all self-love, spiritual and temporal. To serve the servants of my Master is my victory and honcur.—St. Ignatius Loyola. One would accomplish far more things i tone believed less that the doing of them is impossible. The greater progress one makes in prayer, the greater he makes in perfection. There is nothing more to the purpose for exciting a spirit of prayer than the reading of spiritual books. THE DUTY or Pruata. The Bishop cf Clonfert (Ireland) devotes his Lenten Pastoral Letter to the "Were I asked." he duty of Prayer. writes. "what is the most important duty of the Christian.I would answer without doubt or hesitation—Prayer. "For the all-important work of salvation prayer is absolutely necessary for all who come to the use of reason. 'What exchange can a man give for his soul?' None. What can a man substitute for prayer? There is no substitute: nothing can take its place. He who prays will be saved: he who does not pray will be lost. "Without religion." his Lordship says, "there would be no prayer, and no one can pray except he believes in his heart in God and except he puts his trust in God. The man who has Faith and Hope must of necessity break forth into Acts of Adoration, Thanksgiving. and Petition—and this outpouring of the soul is prayer. Man must pray: it is natural to him to recognise and address a Supreme Being, and so true is this that every people, even the most barbarous, pray. "For a Christian to refuse or to neglect prayer is to degenerate into a purely material being, fit, like Nabuchodonosor, to herd with the beasts of the field. The soul without prayer is dead: the Catholic who neglects hii pravers is unworthy of the noble name he bears. God does not counsel or advise prayer. He commands it. It is not merely good for Catholics to pray, it is essential."

PERFEG'T CONITDENCE. If you desire to please God, offer Him cc.ntinually the sacrifice of thy heart, will, and liberty, by perfect obedience for His own sake. Our will He chiefly calls for: and whatsoever else we give Him is nothing so long as we refuse to give Him our will by obedience. The sacrifice of our hearts He calls for, and not for that of our flocks, or of anything that we can give Him without obedience.—Bishop Challoner.

Amid the sufferings which spring from a soul's insatiable desire to give something, even much, to trod. He provides her with means of showing herself That selfmore equal to her ideals. sacrifice spells suffering. the soul is convinced. She is unhappy, precisely because her offering to God has cost too Then God sends her crosses, little. such as aridity, illness, false friends, persecution, failures, and many other Our kinds of excruciating suffering. Lord is never at a loss for crosses. His workshop is full of them.—Raoul Plus. S.J. THE BEGINNING OF ALL UN. No sin is more fatal, far-reaching and fertile than pride. It is the first of the vices and, in the words of Ecclesiasticus, "the beginning of all sin" (X. 15.) A proud person is one who rates himself above his fellow-men by reason of his good qualities, and on the strength of them arrogates to himself honour and credit, which are properly due to God, from Whom we have received whatever excellence we possess.—Rev. . Degen. I THE APOSTOLIC WAY. We preach what is not known, that And hence it may become known. the Apostles are said in Scripture to To To wham? "preach Christ." those who knew Him not—to the heathen world. Not to those who knew Him, but to those who did not know Preaching is a gradual work: Him. Thus first one lesson, then another. were the heathen brought into the Church gradually.—Card. Newman. LOST OPPORTUNITIZS. It is humbling also to feel how little much we might have done for God that we have not done, how many opportunities have been wasted. how
many graces not corresponded to, how poor and languid and ungenerous has all been that we have actually had the heart to do. It is humbling also to feel hom little we have done for God in return for the greatness of what He has done for us, and how little we can do for Him, at the best, even if we were saints, considering His majesty and our nothingness; and it is painfully humbling to think how much we have positively done against Him. But it seems that humility grows far more rapidly and blossoms more abundantly in the mere thought of the immensity of God's love for us, and the unintelligibly prodigality of His fatherly love for us, where there is no thought of self at all, even in the way of merited self-reproach. BE SLOW TO ANGER. It' is an old saying that it takes two to make a quarrel, and it is the part of the Catholic never to make the second. To be swift to take offence is an un-Christianlike trait, and to be a Christian is to be like Christ. The sacred writer sets down as one of the great characteristics of the Almighty that He is "slow to anger," and Jesus Himself, both by word and example, enjoined upon His followers the duty of never yielding to provocation, of returning good for evil, of refusing to revile the reviler. But perhaps these heroic and perhaps spectacular occasions are with most of us uncommon. We might rise to these, and show a Christian spirit. It is at home and in business that the temptations to repay in kind is sometimes so overwhelming. On such occasions the Christian's motto should be "Let it pass." Yes, people say uncharitable things; they sometimes twist the truth to their own advantage, and our disadvantage; they misrepresent our motives. Are we to fly into a temper, and give them as much as they give us? That is the world's way. It was never Christ's; it should never, under any circumesances, be ours. The whole idea of "getting one's own back" is absolutely unChristian. There is so much to be done to mitigate real suffering and heart-ache, real sorrow and bereavement and poverty and want, that to waste time taking up cudgels to defend our own poor injured dignity or pride is not worth while. Let it pass. If anyone wants t o say unkind things. let them say them. It is to Christ alone we are answerable. Besides, do we not know our own weakness and lack of self-control? Can we cast a stone at another? But for the grace of God, we. too, might be saying bitter, hard, hurtful things, TRUE NOBILITY. The Catholic might very well reflect on what a distinguished thing he does when he goes to church on Sunday. It is true that Catholics on every side of the world do just the same, but a Catholic has two or three neighbours who' do not go to church for any one that does. Then his own services are so plebian and so noble, so old and so new and durable, so human and so divine; they mean man and God working together at close range: however inadequate the peacher or the taxgatherer, behold there is more than a preacher or tax-gatherer here. The Catholic also comes not as an experimenter, but in faith that the results are guaranteed. He is not religiously free to come or stay at home, for it is a good thing for men to worship God and an exceedingly good thing for them to worship Gal as a group of common
body and on a common day. Then if he is a very real Catholic, he tries to see that his holidays do not include a "holyday" or two of missing Maas on Sunday. He looks out for places and times when he can go to church. As .orne one forewarns him: "Don't be a Catholic ostrich and stick your head in the ground, expecting some one to We repeat, hit you with a pew." that the Catholic, on vacation or at home, as, in going to church, a natural distinction, as well as a supernatural one, that cannot be matched on Sunday or any day of the week.

TWO STORIES—
Watching an Hour
Torn, the hunchback, made his way aimlessly along the one straggling street, which was the pride of Kilmain. It was a warm evening in autumn, an evening when the rich, red-blood sky and the fat, prosperous earth seemed to conspire for man's welfare and happiness. Kilmain is a delightful little village of thatched cottages, perched—if one may use such a word—on the crest of Beyond the village and a low hill. half -way down the hill Tom paused. He could see beneath him the fields golden with ripe corn, falling under the knives of whirring mowing machines. lie could hear the laughter of the women as they bound the sheaves, the deeper bass of the men, and the shrill delight of the children as they played hide and seek round the cocks of hay in the meadows. Here and there his eye lignted on a tawny-coated sheep-dog curled up snugly beside the remains of the evening meal. Tom gazed at it all, and smiled in his halfwitted way; for he was not only a cripple but the simpleton of the village, being that way from his birth. He He was not altogether stupid. could read a little, very little, and with great difficulty. He had sat with the other children in the village school, but he never got beyond the foot of his class. The deeper meaning of things was hidden from him, but in a childlike way he grasped the simpler truths of life. When he had feasted his innocent round eyes on the scene, Tom walked on, watching the little spirals of dust as they scurried across his path, and swaying this way and that—for all the world like a jack-tar. At the foot of the hill he found himself at the door of the village church. He popped in his shaggy head to see if there were any of the neighbours about. The church was quite empty, however. It was a sweet little wooden structure which spoke of mellow and venerable age in every beam of it. There were no aisles nor pillars nor choir loft, and it was built in the form of a cross. All f which detail was lost on Tom for the very simple reason that familiarity had blurred it. There, too, was the red light swinging in the breeze from the street before the dark door of the tabernacle. Torn, haying gazed his fill, began slowly to withdraw his touzled head when all of a sudden his eyes fell on the altar cloth. It was white, wellstarched altar-cloth, though that fact did not interest our simple friend very much. What held him spellbound was the red lettering on it. This is what he saw: "Could you not watch . .ne hour with me?" All of us have seen that message. Most of us have grasped the meaning of Christ's gentle complaint, but how seldom we give a practical answer to it. We pay a few minutes' visit, then bob a courtesy. and soon. farther down the street, are engaged in intimate and engrossing conversation with Mr. So-and-So or Mrs. What's-her-Name. This was the first time Tom had seen the words, or rather it was the first time_he noticed them Ile went up to the altar rails. Slowly and painfully he spelled out the message, repeating each word aloud to himself. He did not at once grasp what it meant. When the significance of the question did at last dawn on his simple mind, when he realised that there was Ont in the tabernacle who was lonely, without anyone to talk to. he wondered why he had not thought • that before. -Long he stood there, a I grotesque figure, with his shaggy head, deformed shoulders, thin body, and still thinner legs. Slowly he backed to the door, when another thought came, and he ran as fast as he could to the fields nearest him. He first burst into a group of =mall boys, who were dangling their hare sunburnt legs on a fence. "How's Tom this evening?" chimed the brightest of the row. Torn raised his innocent eyes from the brown knees to the qually brown faces: "Could you not watch one hour with me?" was all he said. There was silence for a moment, then the young rascals burst into an uncontrollable fit of laughter. Mad Tom was, apparently, finding new outlets for his simplicity. Tom, haying sense enough to see that his errand was a failure trotted on until he came to the first field. lie felt rather funny, but he paid no attention A number of women, to the feeling. rosy and cheerful, were coming through the gate after their long day in the field. Tom looked at them and said: "Could you not watch one hour with me?"
The words had the same effect on the w omen. All were soon joining in the laugh at poor Tom's expense. He could not understand it, and went up to the men who were gathered together in animated conversation: "Could you not watch one hour with me?" A loud guffaw greeted him, and Tom still more bewildered left the field to the scoffers. He walked some distance along the dusty road before turning aside into a mossy lane where he sat down. He was very tired, and that funny feelHe saw no one, ing came on again. but he thought he heard someone sighing. He kept very still, and after a time he heard it again. He was not Around the bend a little felalone. low with very fair hair, was sitting on little bare heels and crying softly to Tom went to investigate. himself. Here was a prospective watcher. He stood over the child, and looked down at the pair of infant eyes which took the place of the hair as the child lookThe crying stopped and a ed up. smile lit up the tear-smudged face, for all the children loved simple Tom: "Could you not watch one hour with me?" Not waiting for a refusal. he commandeered a chubby hand and marched, prouder than any lord, up the lane and down the road to the door of the church. What a sight As they were coming up that laneway with its squat mossy-stoned walls, its rank grasses and wild flowers, thick trunks of trees breaking the yellow light of the evening sun, the angels must have smiled. They knew where that innocent child and the uncouth man who had never lost his innocence were going. When thy entered the church, Tom saw that the tabernacle door was open. He looked down at the fair head: "Little one." he said. "Jesus must have got tired waiting for some one to watch with Him. Perhaps He has gone to look for some one. We will wait till He comes back." So up the church he swayeEl, dragging the child along with him in his eagerness. He sat down on the altar steps and drew the child between his knees and so they waited. The little clock in the sacristy struck seven o'clock, and the next three quarters. The fool was nodding. Only another quarter to go and the fool felt so very, very sleepy. Down and up went the shaggy head—down and up again. Then ding-dong, ding-dong: and he heard a small voice whispering in his ear: "Could You not watch one hour with me?" He opened his round eyes and found his shaggy head resting on the cheek of the child. Then his eyes closed and on his face was a wondering smile that did not fade. fialf.an-hour later an old man came in to have a look round and to lock up for the night. He saw the hunchback sitting on the altar steps. He rattled his keys impatiently, but not a stir from Tom The sacristan tramped up the church and shook the sleeper's shoulder. The shaggy head still rested on the knees sideways. The knees were wide apart where the child had stood between them. The tabernacle door stood closed, and the fool's face was shining with a light of wondrous beauty. Tom, the hunchback, had gone to watch the second hour with the Child Jesus in heaven—i. Haves. S T., in "The Rock."
Adolphe Rette's Question FITS CALL TO FAITH. Adolphe Rene. the well-known writer, died recently at Dijon in France. His life story is full of interest Born at Paris is 1863, he spent his infancy in Belgium, where his grandfather was Rector of the University of Liege. Though of Catholic parentage. he was sent to a non-Catholic college, 'whence he came forth without religious convictions of any kind. He Mined the army and led a dissolute pagan life for a number of years. With a passion for literature, he came at length to Paris, where he head Renan, Darwin, Lamarck. Haeckel, and many other authors of the same school. He became suecessiyely Socialist, Radical. Anarchist, being all the time fiercely anti-clerical. During all. however, he seems to have been like St. Paul. before that fateful journey to Damascus, honest and earnest according to his lights. Closer acquaintance with pseudoscientists and philosophers undermined his confidence in them He turned more and more to literature, until one day while reading Dante, the thought flash-
ed into his mind: "What if God really does exist?" A t that moment began a struggle which lasted for three years, a fierce combat between the flesh and the spirit, between pride and sensuality on the one hand and the call of God on the other, during which he was more than once tempted to commit suicide. Kind friends put him in touch with a Canon of St. Sulpice. Father Motet. and Adolphe Rette found peace with God. In 1907 he announced his conversion in a book entitled "Du Diable a Dieu." whose publication was the cause of a series of conversions and returns to the Faith, the first being the mother of the writer. This work was followed In' many others in defence of his newfound Faith, of which we may mention "La Regne de la Beth" (1908), "Un Sejours a Lourdes- (1909). and "Sous l'Etoile du Matin" (1910). His last work, "L'Oraison du Silence." published last year, is a kind of spiritual Will and testament. Here is a passage from it:— "I can assert with a clear conscience that never, since I came to know Thee. my God, have I known discontent, never any anxiety about my once restless life. What I write is the strictest truth, and if I insist on it, it is not for my own praise, but that all may adore the mercy of the Good Master.'" Once converted Rette never had any doubts. He accepted with humility and obedience all the doctrines and directions of the Church, and as he lay at last on a bed of pain he still strove and prayed for the saving of soots. "I live." he wrote to a friend. "closely united to Our Lord, in my daily suffer. ing.

"Yitu needn't be afraid." the chemist hooted after him. "I won't make a t harge for it." But McAndrew never slackened his pace. "It isna that." he bawled over his 'hottlder. "I'm awd hatne to cut my linger." • • "I hear you've lost your parrot that used to swear so terribly." "Yes, it. died from shock." "Really? how did it happen?" "Ile escaped from his cage and wandered on to the golf links." Maud: "I'm going to sell kisses at t he Charity Ball to-night. Do you sixpence apiece is too much for liem?" ,Ioa•1 "Ni'.

'Tell me the Id. old story!'" • Gagan, proud• ly: "Have ye heard ' hem girls Itf mine play th' piano? [hey are wonders!"

"By ringing the dumbbells, madam,' he replied. A little boy wished to give a copy Shakespeare to his mother on her birthday, and. before writing her name on the flyleaf. he took a book from the library to see the proper way of setting about the matter. Literally copying the first inscription that he limn& he wrote: "With t he kind regards of the author?' "The Greensmiths are distinctly literary in their pursuits." said a suburbanite to a neighbour.

"Oh, he writes cheques that no one will cash!" • • Two Scotsmen staying at a London hotel discovered that the washstand in their bedroom was without soap, so they rang the bell, and in due course an attendant appeared to ascertain their wishes. "Sen up sape, lad—a wee bit sape, quick;" exclaimed one of the Caledonians. For a mcment the attendant gazed open-mouthed at the two men. "They ain't French nor German nor .vet Spanish," he murmured to himself, "What can they want?" "Man." thundered the Scot, becoming angry, "can you no' understand plain Scotch?" Promptly the attendant withdrew and returned with a bottle and two glasses! He came towards her and, she watch. ed him with anxious eyes. "How did father take it?" she asked. "Ile took it all right," replied the young man. "Oh! I am so glad, Jack." she cried. "Are you?" replied Jack, hunching his shculders forlornly. "Well, I can't say I am.

"And then what did he do?" "Do!" echoed the young man. passing his hand wearily over his hair, "Ile borrowed it!" • The customer who wanted to buy a Christmas present proved most exacting. and the shop-assistant was growing a little impatient. "Now, are you sure this is genuine crocodile skin?" the customer inquired. critically examining a neat little handbag. "Quite, madam," was the reply. "You see. I know the man who shot that crocodile." "It looks rather dirty," remarked the customer. hoping to get a reduction in terms. " Yes. madam," replied the shopkeeper. "That is where the animal struck the ground after it fell off the tree." " Why. Johnny. you've got a big lump on your head. Have you been fighting again?" "Fighting? Not me!" But somebody struck me. I wasn't fightin. at all. It was an accident." "An accident?" " Yes. I was sitting on top of young George Harris, and I forgot to hold his feet."
