A Noble English Charity hicharistic Congress ZIN65 O Reaches its Golden Jubilee
DUBLIN, 1932, Registrations to join the Australian Delegation to the Eucharistic Congress, to be held in Dublin in June, 1932, are now being accepted by Messrs. Thos. Cook and Son. From reports received from all parts o f the world, it is evident that accommodation in Dublin, in spite of the additional provision being made, will be heavily taxed to provide for the tens of thousands of visitors who desire to participate in the Congress and to avoid disappointment, applications for preliminary information and registration should be made without delay to THOS. COOK & SON, 22 FORRF.ST PLACE, PERTH. By Special Appointment to His Holiness Pope Pius XI.

THE RECORD. sands, and later millions, of our countrymen felt constrained to abandon the Establishment. The process is going on to-day. Within the Church of England there are to be found almost as many religions as there are churches. from the highest and most extreme form of Anglo-Catholicism to the shallowest Modernism. The departure from Catholic teaching has quite definitely become what the Church knew it would, viz., the giving-up of the Christian system altogether. No wonder many earnest Christians are looking wistfully towardso Rome. No wonder even amongst those who most cordially dislike her, thoughtful men are being compelled against their will to acknowledge that, whatever else may be said against the Catholic Church, no charge can he brought home to her of having given up any single doctrine. Rome may have added to the Creed: she certainly has not subtracted from it one solitary article.

A Jacobite Archbishop's Conversion MAR P7ANIOS TELLS WHY HE BECAME A CATHOLIC. His Grace Mar Ivanios, Archbishop of Bethany, Travancore, South India, who was reecived into the Catholic Church from the Jacobite Schism last September 20, recently returned to Ernakulam after a visit to Bangalore, where he was reecived by Archbishop Mooney, the Apostolic Delegate. He expressed himself as immensely pleased with the sincere welcome and deep interest of the Delegate. He was told by the Delegate of a message from the Holy Father. "Tell Mar Ivanois," the Pope had said to Archbishop Mooney when in Rome, "that We extend to him and to those who follow him into the Church a welcome, a big welcome." The Pope uttered the last three words in English, noted the Delegate. Mar Ivanios, in an interview given to a Fides representative, replying to the following questions, gave his reasons for ending his association with the Jacobite Schismatic Church, of which he was one of its chief officials: "When yet a Jacobite what was it that especially struck your Grace as the outstanding feature of the Catholic Church?" he was asked. "The outstanding feature of the Catholic Church," replied His Grace, "is the fact of its sure guidance on everything connected with life, both for individuals and for mankind." "How did your Grace arrive at the conclusion that the Church is the surest guide?" "A number of considerations forced me to this conclusion. The Catholic Church is the only true and perfect embodiment of historical Christianity, the religion which Jesus Christ brought into the world. Again, there are forces at work in the modern world that attempt to shake human society to its very foundation. My studies and observations have led me to the conclib sion that the Catholic Church is the only institution that has in the past withstood and can forever withstand successfully the onslaught of these disruptive forces." Asked to explain further these points, His Grace continued: "My studies in the origin and history of the Catholic Church, and particularly of the beneficial results it has produced in society in general, and in the lives of the saints, ancient and modern, in particular, led me to this conclusion. The conception of the Catholic Church as the living organ of Christ finds its practical expression in all its aspects only in the Catholic Church. "She alone fulfills the purpose for which God became man, i.e„ the salvation of individuals and of society. She alone is the Mystical Body of In Her alone can Christ on earth. men have the assurance that Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the For the Catholic Church shows Life. the Way, teaches the Truth, and gives the Life that is in Jesus Christ our Lord and God. "I found, too, that non-Catholic types of Christianity were both inefficient and insufficient to fulfill the very purpose for which Our Lord founded His Church. Among the various warring forces—national, racial and economic— I found that there was only one force supra-national, supra-racial, and supramundane, which could wed human society into a homogeneous whole and bring lasting peace and divine blessing As far as one to hurnanity at large. can peer into the future, the Catholic Church is the only force that can stabilise human society and ensure its progress." "What further paints struck your Grace as noteworthy in the Church?" "The Catholic Church preserves the balance between authority and obedience, between individual freedom and social obligation.

Lenton Boulevard, Nottingham, England. He was born in 1851. After being educated at Newton Abbot College and the University of Oxford, he became a convert to the Church in 1901. and was sent to the English College at Lisbon to study for the priesthood. He was ordained on February 11. 1906. at St. Hugh's, Lincoln, by the late Bishop Brindle, D.S.O., and was immediately attached to the staff of that church as assistant priest. Later in the year he was sent to Melbourne, Derbyshire, where at the time there were but some six known Catholics.
Within two years Father Richmond had assembled a congregation and
built a church dedicated to Our Lady of Mercy and St. Philip Neri. He remained at Melbourne until 1915, receiving over 200 persons into the Church. For the next three years he was at Ilkeston. and then he went out to France as a chaplain to the Forces. On his return to the Nottingham diocese he was appointed to St. Thomas of Canterbury, Gainsborough, which he restored.
In 1922 he left England and became rector of Tellieres le Plessis, in Normandy. where he founded a 'boys' school. Next he was attached to the Cathedral staff of Notre Dame, Paris, and established another school at Joinville le Pont.

In that particular section the prisoners' work was hauling logs out of the sawmills. The work had to be done by hand or with such primitive ropes and levers as the prisoners themselves could improvise from grass and logs. The men had to go into the water up to the chest at all seasons, and most of the lugs had to be lifted out by main strength. Work had to be begun at 5 am, without food, and tasks were set for each man. The strongest and most skilful were able to finish at 11 am., hut the weakest were often working continuously until 2 am. The first food of the day came at 4 p.m., when a bowl of coarse porridge, made with sonic kind of meal and flour, and one

In the summer the men were punished by being stripped and tied to a tree for the mosquitoes to torture for hours, and in the winter the men were exposed without clothes to the bitter frost.

The Chekists did not like to have children born in the prison camps, and expectant mothers were frequently taken to the forest and shot trying to escape. If there were children, they were nearly always reported stillborn. Alexie estimates that in the whole northern prison district there are one million such slaves, and they are all employed getting out timber for export.

Saturday, April it, 1W1. NEWS FROM IRELAND—
The Guiding Light of Ireland
Catholic Faith Her Greatest Inheritance In joy and in sorrow, in prosperity and, in adversity, in days of freedom and days of persecution, the Catholic Faith has been the guiding light of Ireland since St. Patrick became her Apostle fifteen hundred years ago. That Faith is the greatest inheritance of the Irish people; it is their duty to treasure it and to hand it down unsullied to future generations of the race. These were among the points which, in view of the forthcoming Eucharistic Congress, the Most Rev. Dr. Harty, A rchbishop of Cashel, puts forward for c onsideration in his Lenten Pastoral. Ireland's unswerving loyalty to the Holy See is recalled by his Grace, who says: -During the days of persecution our people stood fast to the See of Peter, and unflinchingly rejected the claim of English monarchs to supremacy in We can easily see in spiritual affairs practice the meaning of the divine plan which gave to Christ's Church a supreme and infallible guide, who can speak with the authority of the Holy G host, and who binds into one harmonious visible society the members of the Catholic Church, no matter to what nation they individually belong. "In sharp contrast with the divided and dissolving sects, the Catholic Church is one in Faith, obeying with unswerving loyalty the Father of all, who rules and teaches from Rome. We can never be sufficiently grateful to Almighty God for this unifying gift of divine guidance, coming from the successor of St. Peter. . ''Let us show our gratitude to Almighty God, by cherishing the traditional loyalty of the Irish people to the See of Peter, by accepting dutifully the ruling and teaching of the Holy See on all questions of Faith and morals, and by showing at all times a filial love for the person of the Pope, who governs the Church with paternal solicitude." Reminding the faithful that Loyalty T.. the 1-b.ly See means more than vocal expression of devotion: it means a willing adherence to the wishes and the teaching of the Holy Father, even when there is no question of infallible decisions. the Archbishop refers to the recent Encyclical on Christian Marriage, and continues: "The State, as well as the Church, has its duties in this matter of vast importance for the public weal, and it
is to be hoped that the Government of our Catholic nation will adopt stringent measures to exclude, not merely vicious literature, but also the means of committing unnatural crime that are on sale by firms that desire to be regarded as reputable. "It would indeed be lamentable if, while we fervently participate in the sacred functions of the Eucharistic Congress, we are compelled to bewail a lowering of the standards of family However, there is no need to life. have pessimistic views about the future of the Irish nation in regard to the sustained sanctity of the married state. "Through faithful observance of the laws of God and strict supervision by Church and State, the happy conditions that have hitherto prevailed in Irish life will, with God's blessing, last as long as the race survives." CATHOLIC ACTION. In the first of his series of lectures on "Catholic Action," Father J. E. Canavan, S.J., in St. Francis Xaviees, Gardiner-street, Dublin, said: "For the last 400 years the world had attached itself to systems leading to unabashed individualism. Everywhere Catholics live, as in the first centuries after the death of Christ, in a pagan world, and we in Ireland are not secure from contagion. "We drink in false teaching: we breathe it like the common air: and, almost as much as other Catholics who live in more pagan surroundings, we in Ireland are in danger of having our Faith undermined, our certainties destroyed our courage perplexed in this Babel of voices. "No one would be so rash as to say that we could not be more perfect than we are." continued Father Canavan. "If we are not strongly and deliberately Catholic in the structure of our Nation, we may glide into the barbarism which the Pope fears. "We must live as Catholics, and as Catholics work together to purify national and international politics, to find a practical solution of our social difficulties. and to offer to the world the spectacle of a nation Catholic at once, and vigorous in the management of its secular affairs." In due course, when Ireland gets down to think along these lines, an Irish Government won't take long to make up its mind to throttle such a filthy trade as is carried on by some unscrupulous chemists.
FREE STATE AND NORTHERN IRELAND There is a marked contrast in the financial position of the Irish Free State and Northern Ireland, as disclosed in the reports from each county for the past year. With a population of 1,256,000, Northern Ireland had 72,437 unemployed in December last, as compared with 37,626 in the same month of 1929. The Irish Free State, with two and a quarter times greater population, had 25,622 registered unemployed in December last, as compared with 22,858 in December, 1929. The activities of the port of Belfast is the fairest index of trade conditions in Northern Ireland, and here there was a decrease of 130,722 tons during eleven months of 193G. Imports of coal dropped by 75,000 tons, and exports of potatoes showed a decline of 53,700 tons. There were slight increases in exports of live-stock and imports of timber. On the whole there was a notable decline in port clearances. Shipbuilding, which absorbs the greatest proportion of labour in Belfast. showed an improvement on the year, largely as the result of Government loans, but the linen trade was slack, and there was a decline in exports for the year of 4,000 tons. Returning to the Irish Free State, the total of the National Debt is £23,000,000, or less than one year's revenue. Sinking fund provisions of the Government will entirely wipe this out within a period of ten years. For the period April 1-December 6. 1930. Customs duties showed an increase on the previous year of £250.030; Excise ditties an increase of £500,000; and Income Tax an increase of £250.000. The Government's indebtedness for compensation awards for damaged properties due to civil disturbance has almost been wiped out. The Unemployment Insurance Fund in another year will be solvent, according to a statement issued by the Minister for Industry and C-ommerce. and this will enable them to give a rebate to industry and employed persons of 1250,000, the rate per person under the
new scale being 1/1 instead of 1/7. The great Shannon electricity scheme is paid for, and is now a growingly prosperous enterprise, and the release of a large number of men employed cat these works accounts for the increase in the unemployed figures for In other directions work in the 1930 protected trades has been found for 13.500 additional persons. The Irish National Loans are eagerly bought at premium prices and, according to the Chairman of the National Bank at its annual meeting, "The Free State Government deserve warm apprebation both from their people and the w ell-wishers of the country—who are mane--"Catholie Herald."
IRISH PROTESTANTS
ADMIT LAPSES FROM THE CHURCH The Dublin correspondent of the -Irish Catholic," in the 13th. of February issue, writes: The domestic politics of the Episcopalian Church have been occupying a good deal of space in the newspapers during the week. The immediate subject, i.e., the division of the diocese of Down and Connor and Dromore, has a long history,' but its history hardly matters so much as the fact that the Diocesan Synod has rejected interference in diocesan affairs by the central authority. That is what its refusal to agree to the appointment of a separate bishop for Dromore amounts to. Lord Bangor, advocating the division of the diocese, gave some remarkable figures. The Episcopalian population of the diocese, he pointed out, was 240,115, or nearly 50 per cent. of the whole Episcopalian population of Irelantd, and 90 per cent, of the Episcopalian population of the other dioceses. liuminaticna From Belfast. I Opposing division, Rev. W. H. Good, M.A., said they were told that there were 130,000 Church people in Belfast. "What does that mean?" he asked, and proceeded to explain. "I can tell you." he said, "what a splendid congregation I have in my own parish, St. Mary's, Crumlin-road. I can tell you what a splendid choir we have, and what splendid Sunday Schools. I could tell you, in fact, that everything is flourishing. "But there is another -side to the St. Mary's Parish has a picture. Church population of 12.000, and 3,000 attached to the Trinity College Mission. For the main part those people are practically lost to the Church—they are only nominally Church people. There is little or no hope of getting them back to the Church. The real hope lies among the young. Of 45,000 children we have only 850 in our Sunday Schools-- there is no room for The others, however, go to more. some Sunday school, for there are in the parish 23 Sunday schools belonging to other denominations and mission. 'There has been talk about the number of Church people in Belfast, but there are 50,000 lapsed members of the Church of Ireland in Belfast. "They are ours only in that we baptise their children and sometimes bury their dead." A Curious Remedy. Mr. Good, convinced that the appointment of an extra bishop is not going to improve this state of affairs, wants the Episcopalian Church. apparently. to lend all its available financial resources to the supplying of a remedy—more churches. more Sunday schools, etc. The proposal that the diocese should be divided had its origin in Dublin, but, says the Belfast correspondent of the "Irish Times," "it is felt that those residing in the South are out of touch with the actual position in Belfast and its many other needs." E40,000 a Year for Souped:cm. The Catholic outsider will be excused feelings bordering upon jubilation when viewing the position. Never for an instant does it escape his attention that the same body which mourns 50.000 lapsed members in Belfast alone, and which mcvrns. too, the urgent need of churches, halls, and schools, should spend probably £40,000 per year, or near it, in the work of ruining the

A Bank-Clerk in W.A. VICE-RECTOR OF ENGLISH COL LEGE. The Bishop of Nottingham anounce-s that Father Humphrey Wilson, assistant priest at St. Hugh's, Lincoln, has been appointed Vice-rector of the Venerable English College, Rome. He takes the place of Mgr. Redmond, DD., who was Vice-rector under Archbishop Hinsley. In announcing Father Wilson's appointment, Bishop Dunn writes: "We shall miss him in the diocese, but I feel sure all my clergy will join me in congratulating him and wishing him e very success in his new sphere of work. "To me it is of no small satisfaction t hat one of my own diocesan clergy should have been selected for SO important a position in the centre of Catholic Unity and under the very eye of the Vicar of Christ on earth." Father Wilson will assist Mgr. William Gcdfrew, who was appointed Rector of the Venerable last June. Neither Mgr. Godfrey nor Father Wilson has been a rector in England. Mgr. Godfrey was a curate in Liverpool for two years after his ordination in 1916, and then became a professor at Ushaw College, Durham. Converted During War. Father Wilson is a convert. He was received into the Church during the war, whilst serving in France. He will take up his important new work at the early age of 33. The second son of Mr. Thomas Charlton Wilson, he was born at Woodford, Essex, and educated at Watford Grammar School. After leaving school at the age of 17 he went to Western Australia to take up a position in the Bank of AustraThen he remained lasia at Perth. until the outbreak of the Great War. He then returned to England and, in 1915. enlisted in the Grenadier Guards. Later he received a commission in the Worcestershire Regiment. In 1916 he was transferred to the Machine Gun Carps, and during this year he saw active setatice in France. In the same year he was received into the Church by Father Austin Maccabe, C.SS.R., at ramiers. In 1917 he was taken prisoner of war in the Battle of Cambrai and was in prisoner-of-war camps at Karlsruhe, Trier, and Schweidnitz in Silesia until the Armistice, when he began to study for the priesthood for the Nottingham diocese. He went to the English College, Rome, in 1919, and was ordained priest in 1925. Father Wilson left Rome in 1926, and became assistant priest at St. Mary's, Derby. where he remained for three years before going to Lincoln. Another priest of the Nottingham diocese is the rector of an historic English seminary abroad. He is Mgr. Canon Henson, Rector of the English College. Valladolid. Spain.

DARLOT CUP Christian Brothers' College Defeat Hale SchooL — — (By K. J. L.) On Tuesday, March 31, on the W.A.C.A. Ground, Christians easily accounted for Hale School, thus going through the first round unbeaten. The teams were: C.B.C.: Shea (capt.), O'Shaughnessy ( vice-capt.), Arthur, McLeod, Brown, Trainor, B. Buzzard, J. Buzzard, Kenneally, Ryan, and Lyons. Hale: Rowe (eapt.). Rose, R. Hall, Ellis, Duce, Le Couteur, Dakin, Russell, Stubbs, Meyer, and T. Hall. The Play. Rowe won the toss, and to everybody's surprise put C.B.C. in to bat on a perfect wicket. Shea and McLeod opened for the College, and both went for the bowling from the start. Shea was forceful and quickly drew away from his companion, scoring freely all round the wicket. McLeod, batted slowly, but never gave a chance, being solid in defence, and when he did go for the bowling he made no mistake about it. They carried the score to 148 before Shea hit one to leg and was caught by Le Couteur. He had given a very neat display for his 87, and looked like getting another century. McLeod did not stay long after his companion, being caught in the Rowe-Le Couteur trap. The score was now 253-149. B. Buzzard joined Arthur, and was caught by Dakin off Rose after he had scored 7. Brown was the next man in. He started very carefully, but once he got set he hit the bowling all over the ground. He and Arthur took the score to 258 before he was bowled by Rowe after contributing 29 Trainor came to the wicket, and started to score steadily. He is a much improved bat since last year, and shows plenty of confidence, and can always be relied upon to make a good stand for his side when runs are needed. Arthur, who was batting well, hit at a straight ball from Rowe and was clean bowled. This player has been most unlucky, as three times he has got within reach of his century, but always seems to just miss it. O'Shaughnessy was next man, but again failed to get set, being bowled by Duce after scoring 2. J. Buzzard joined Trainor, and gave another surprise innings. He made no mistake about hitting right from the start. and again, as at Scotch, he scared freely on the leg side, but nevertheless he fully deserved to get a century. which incidentally is his first, for he has been batting very well this season. He and Trainor looked like making another good partnership, when the latter was caught, the score reading-7--47-352. Kenneally, Lyons, and Ryan did not impress, and J. Buzzard remained not out with 100 to his credit. Hale were now left with an hour's play. and Rowe sent Rose and R. Hall to open the innings. O'Shaughnessy opened the bowling, and his first ball took Rose's middle stump. Ellis followed and scored slowly, but was not comfortable against O'Shaughnessy's fast bowling. R. Hall did not seem to get set, and was caught in the slips by Trainor off O'Shaughnessy. Duce followed, but only managed to secure a single when he was bowled by Ryan. The next man, T. Hall, played out the over, and appealed against the light, and play was stopped with the scores 3-5-17. Play was continued on Wednesday morning, with Ellis and T. Hall batting. Hale were faring no better than on the previous day. Ellis was caught by Trainor in slips off Ryan after getting 7. Rowe, the captain, was the next man, and was the only one in
the side to show any confidence. He placed 20 to his credit before he was bowled by O'Shaughnessy. Of the others, Le Couteur was the only one to reach double figures. He looked like making a goad stand, when he tipped one of O'Shaughnessy's into slips and was well caught by Trainor. The tatter fielded very well during the game Dakin, Stubbs, Russell, Meyer only put on 9 between them, and Hale School's innings closed at the very poor total of 71.

THE RECORD
TWELVE
The "Vincent de Paul of Bordeaux" May be Declared "Venerable" This
Year.
Father Chaminade was the "Vincent de Paul of Bordeaux" before, during, and after the French Revolution. He founded the Brothers of Mary (Marianists), also called the Society of Mary, in 1817, a year after he had founded the Daughters of Mary. The purpose of these apostolic congregations was to rebuild the faith that France had lost during the thirty years of religious chaos caused by the Revolution and Chaminade the Napoleonic regime. led a heroic life during the Reign of Terror, administering the consolations of religion for two years at the constant risk of his life. Twenty of the forty priests who shared the danger with him were guillotined. He assumed various disguises, such as that of a pedlar of sewing material or as a tinker of pots and kettles. Once, when soldiers were hot on his trail, a maid saved him by upsetting half a tub of soapsuds over him. To throw the pursuers off guard she even drew chairs around the tub and served up wine to toast the Revolution. On another occasion, Father Cham. Made dashed into a cooper's shop with gendarmes on his heels. This time the cooper turned over a barrel upon him. When the police demanded the whereabouts of the priest, he satirically answered. "Why he's here, under this. barrel, of course," as he gave the hollow cask a resounding blow with his mallet. The baffled pursuers took it as a joke and left the shop puzzled. Long after, when the refugee crawled out in safety, he asked what the cooper meant by such treachery. The good old Catholic chuckled with a knowing wink. "Oh, there was no danger. They'd never Those fellows know me believe I told the truth. That never happened yet." Another day, trudging along in his usual disguise, he was overtaken by a band of men and asked: "Did you see the priest Chaminade pass here?" "Why, yes." he answered, "run right along and you will catch him," and then added banteringly as the last ones passed: "It looks as though you are going to kill them all and not leave any for seed." Such was the spirit of the man who later won the heart of Bordeaux by laying the foundations of practically e very work of charity and apostolic endeavour in the city. Besides the Brothers and Daughters of Mary, he founded the ialisericorde, a refuge for fallen women, and a flourishing group of sodalities for young men. for young women, for fathers, for married women, and even for chimney sweeps. These sodalities saved Bordeaux from irreligion. Father Chaminade died in 1850 The Brothers of Mary number well ever 2.000. This figure had been attained already in France when the reHigous expulsions in 1903 closed all the French schools and cut off all op• portunities of recruitment. The Society of Mary is divided into eight provinces, the most important houses of which are located in Belgium. France. Spain. Italy. Switzerland, Germany, Austria. Morocco, Tunis, Japan.

IL Restitution is the giving bick of something that has been taken unjustly from its owner, or its equivalent; also the indemnification of another for unjust damage done to his property, or the indemnification for the loss of something to which another had a strict right, and which he was prevented from gaining, by unfair means. Anyone who has been guilty of a serious act of injustice demanding restitution cannot obtain pardon of his sin, unless such restitution is made, or, at least, unless he has the serious intention of making it, when and as far as he is able.

Lenten Stations. S. G.: In the early centuries in Rome. on certain days the Christians were accustomed to fast until None. between midday and 3 o'clock, and then to march in precession around the church at which the Station was held. They were usually feast days, on which the faithful gathered at a stated church for the celebration of Mass. During the Lenten season the Station was held every day, with processions, at a certain church. This custom survives in Rome at the present time, and explains why you read in the Missal, at the head of the Mass of eaca day, "Station at St. Paul's." or "Station at St. Lawrence's," etc.
Staging a Sensation A THRILL THAT DIDN'T THRILL. Investigations reveals that the report in the "New York Times" of a "clerical crisis- in Bolivia are untrue, and that the causes which are said to have given rise to the crisis do not exist. It was stated that Bishop Sieffert of La Paz had imposed new taxation upon his priests, and that this had led to the "crisis": that suspended priests had addressed to Bishop Sieffert a public letter asking him to resign, and charging him with being chiefly interested in seeking to obtain pecuniary benefits from his spiritual mission with a view to exporting the proceeds to his native country. The trouble, the report said was spreading over the country. and t here was no solution in sight. As a matter of fact, none of these Perhaps the best things happened. evidence of the falsity of the report is a statement signed by nine priests of This statethe Cathedral Chapter. ment, after asserting that the "New York Times" had been "miserably deceived" by the cable which spoke of a clerical crisis that existed "only in the imagination of their correspondent at La Paz, says: "No new taxes have been imposed No parish on the parish priests. priests have been suspended. No let ter has been published by parish priests asking the retirement of Bishop Sieffert of La Paz. He has not been accused of sending funds to his native country. "The following is what happened: "Some parish priests delivered a petition asking the Bishop to cancel or lower the tax due for the seminary, in view of the economic crisis. One of the clerics, against the will of all, and in deception, delivered this petition to the press, despite that such a publication is prohibited by Canon Law and
a formal diocesan decree of 1929, providing for the suspension ipso facto of every cleric who published, directly or indirectly, without the authority of the ordinary. "Some anti-clerical newspapers have taken advantage of this to sow the seeds of discord between the Bishop and the clergy, at the instigation of some clerics of bad conduct, but with, out success, the Bishop having gained the sympathy of both the clergy and t he faithful in the greater part, especially in the higher circles of society."
Maltese Question in House of Lords Lord Passfield's Hope for Amicable Settlement, Lord Strickland, who is in England at the head of a delegation from his party in Malta, raise* the question of affairs there in the House of Lords on Tuesday, says the "Universe," of March 6. It had previously been announced that the Government had decided to send a Royal Commission to Malta to inves_tigate the position and see what steps could be taken to restore the suspended self-government. In view of this the Government refused to receive Lord Strickland and his deputation, but the former took occasion of his position as a member of the House of Lords to raise the matter there. Lord Strickland spoke at some length and complained of the difference between his treatment by the Government and that of Mahatma Gandhi by the Viceroy of India. He also renewed his complaints against the ecclesiastical authorities in Malta. and against alleged pro-Italian propaganda there. He also said he was prepared to add to the expression of regret he had printed in the "Malta Government Gazette': for anything he may have said in the heat of debate in the Malta Parliament that might have caused offence. He then entered into Maltese constitutional questions. Lord Passfield said that he was not able yet to state the personnel of the Royal Commission on Malta, but no time would be lost. It was not with any discourtesy that he was unable to give Lord Strickland an interview, but because the Government had taken the view that it would hamper the Royal Commission if some persons were received and others were not. He gladly noted the statement of Lord Strickland that he would be prepared to make an apology more full than the apology which he had already made with regard to any actions which needed apology in relaticn to the Pope or to the Roman Catholic Church. If that were the disposition on both sides, he hoped the Royal Commission might be able to conduct its deliberations with, at any rate, no interruption from either side in the controversy, but with the support of those who were anxious for the restoration of peace and good feeling.

The great point was to know whether there was the traditonal writing round the cross which is found in the other specimens. On January 20, I determined to investigate this point, and went again to Alengad. I removed a laterite stone from the side, and putting my fingers inside I could feel the letters. So one complete layer of granite was removed all round the Cross, and when the whole had been nicely washed a beautiful ancient Pahlavi Cross with Sassanian Pahlavi inscription disclosed itself.

Priast 'rinds Rare Specimen of Ancient Granite Cross. (The following is the account of thc discovery of a rare specimen of the ancient granite Persian Cross, estimated at least 1.200 years old. The finder. Father Panjikaran. of the Archdioceseof Ernakulam, India, describes the at cidental discovery.) I am very happy to announce to Fides Service the discovery of a very ancient Pahlavi Persian Cross near the old Syrion Catholic Church of Alengad in the Archdiocese of Ernakulam. About two months ago I was walking along the road in front of that church. The open air cross that faced me seemed to be more ancient than the generality c.f such crosses. Looking towards its bottom side I noticed something like the beak of a dove projecting. Government archaeologists and others like Father Hosten had visited and s tudied everything about this place. So I did nct expect anything new. Still the dove's beak was puzzling. That was found only on the top of the Pahlavi crosses. I went near and knocked, and heard a hollow sound. There was a shop-keeper near by. and I asked him whether anybody knew of the existence of a granite cross inside the outer Cross. He gave a negative reply. Nothing daunted, I asked for a knife and thrust it into the coating of lime some six inches thick. I could feel the point of the knife touching something hard, prabably granite. I removed a small quantity of the lime and could plainly see granite. The thick layer 'of lime was removed, and a beautiful Cross was plainly vis-

The movement has now spread over nine mission districts, six of which were officially represented at the conference. Four districts have their own head offices and a central headquarters has been established, the officers of which belong to four different vicariates (Basutoland, Marianhill, Natal, and Transvaal). The activities of the Social Week, which was attended by 120 African and 60 European members, included daily Mass and spiritual address, lectures on agriculture, health, anthropology, co-operation,' domestic science, various branches of manual labour, meetings of representatives of the C.A.U., the C.T.U.

The nuns are from Madrid, thus constituting also the first missionary foundation undertaken by Spanish Carmelites. Commenting on the event, Monsignor A. Wachter, Prefect Apostolic of North Borneo, said feelingly: "Never did I dare to hope that this dream of my life would come true that poor Borneo would have a cloistered Carmelite Convent. With the prayers and sacrifices of these good daughters of the Great Theresa, wild Borneo has received an extraordinary blessing. The nuns are headed by a prioress, who has held the same office three times.

THE RECORD. Philip _ E. Hallett, Vice-postulator of the cause, informs the "Universe" that "the effect of this important decree is to open the way for the Canonisation of He adds: these two great martyrs." "As they were two of the most prominent and best known of the heroic army of the English Martyrs, so God willing, they will be the first to be raised to the Altar." Mgr. Hallett continues: "For this end we ask the most earnest If only our prayers prayers of all. are sufficiently fervent, Almighty God will surely grant, for the honour of His noble servants, faithful unto death, the miracles which the Church requires before she will proceed to their Canonisation. All notices of favours received should be sent to the Vicepostulator, St. John's Seminary, Wonersh, Surrey."
Purpose of the Order. (1) To sanctify its members by the In observance of their rule of life. these days, when men are so arragantly proud that they glory in their selfsufficiency, and have lost their soul in the pursuit of worldly pleasures, so that they have forgotten Christ and Him Crucified, the advantages of a rule which will keep them in the path of simplicity, penance, and charity are too obvious to need insisting upon.
The death of Mr. John Brinsley Sheridan, who died at Narrogin on the 30th. ult., came as a great shock to his many friends. He took suddenly ill on March 18, and was taken to the Narrogin Hospital in a critical condition, suffering from pneumonia. He rallied a little, but double pneumonia supervened, and he was unable to resist it. He was born in Sydney, N.S.W., in 1882, and was educated by the Marist Brothers. He was conscious to the very last. Father P. Sheridan attended him during his illness, and he died fortified by the last Sacraments. The deepest sympathy is felt for Mrs. Sheridan and her son Leo, who feel his loss very keenly. R .I.P.
The Late Miss Grace Frances Langley
Bishop of Rockhampton Dead
THE LATE DR. SHIEL. With the deepest regret we notice the death of the Right Rev. Dr. Joseph Shiel, Bishop of Rockhampton, after a protracted illness. He was not an old man, and had not entered into the sere and yellow. Physically he was a big man, standing over six feet high, and was broad and massive. His death comes as a surprise to us in the West, who remember the tall, vigorous looking, smiling prelate from far off Rockhampton, who visited this State with the other prelates of the East for the blessing and laying of the foundation stone of our new Cathedral. The diocese of Rockhampton is an extensive one, and had made great demands upon his strength during the eighteen years he directed its affairs. The late prelate was 58 years of age. He was ordained to the priesthood at the age of 24, and came to Melbourne in 1898, the year of his ordination, and remained there for several years before going to Ballarat, and later on to Queensland. The deceased prelate was born at Kilmessan. Co. Meath, Ireland, and made his ecclesiastical studies at Maynooth, where he was ordained in 1898. From 1903 to 1912 he was Administrator of Ballarat Cathedral. To the priests and people of his diocese, "The Record" sends its deepest sympathy in their bereavement. May his soul rest in peace.
Third Order of St. Francis The monthly meeting of members of t he Third Order of St. Francis, Perth Fraternity, took place in the Cathedral Hall on Friday evening at 8 p.m. when most of the members were present. After the ordinary business had been conducted, it was agreed to hold a social on April 23, at the home of Sister Dawson, 488 Hay-street. Members who were absent from Friday's meeting, please take note. Particulars may be obtained from Sister Baker, secretary, en. Amodeo, Hay-street. At the February meeting 12 new members were received into the Order by the Rev. Dr. Sullivan at the altar of the Immaculate Conception. The membership has now increased to fifty.

The late Miss Grace Frances Langley ( Lillie) passed away at Fremantle on the 4th. inst., following an operation. The deceased was born at Fremantle, and had lived there all her life. She was formerly a pupil of St. Joseph's Convent, and Sisters of St. Joseph were with her at the end. The late Miss Langley was a member of the Sodality of the Children of Mary, and also the Sodality of the Sacred Heart. Of quiet and retiring disposition, she was affectionately regarded by a large circle of young friends. The funeral took place on Monday morning. the 6th. inst. A Requiem Mass was celebrated at St. Patrick's Church. Adelaide-street, Fremantle, at 9 a.m., at which the Rev. Father Kenny. 0.M.L, was the celebrant. The cortege proceeded to the Fremantle Cemetery. whqre the remains were interred in the Catholic portion, the Rev. Father John Ryan, 0.M.I., officiating at the graveside. The chief mourners were Mrs. Langley (mother) , the Misses Dora and Mollie Langley (sisters). The pall-bearers were the following members of the Sodality of the Children of Mary: The Misses Isabel Rogers, Winnie Sheedy, Hilda Cromwell. Lucy Pope, Olive Edwards, and Hilda Wright. Amongst those present at the graveside were representatives of Messrs. J. A. Dimmitt Ltd., and also St. Patrick's Tennis Club. Floral tributes were placed on the grave, and the bereaved relatives have been the recipients of widespread expressions of sympathy. The funeral arrangements were carried out by Messrs. Arthur F Davies and Company.
Persecution of Catholics in Lithuania Prisoners on Hunger Strike. The Government persecution of Catholic leaders in Lithuania has taken a new step According to messages received at Fribourg by the "Liberte de Fribourg." One message states that the Catholic students of the University of Kovno, whose members are considerable, have gone on hunger-strike for one day on February 10, as a protest against the recent imprisonment of several Catholic leaders. They have also opened a relief fund for the prisoners. A Kovno message states that several Catholics, including the secretary and treasurer of the Catholic Youth Association of Lithuania, the editor-in-chief of the daily Catholic newspaper, "Rytas." his secretary, and the president of the Catholic Workers' Federation have been imprisoned because of their participation in a farewell gathering at the railway station to a Catholic Action leader who has been exiled by the Government. These prisoners are now on hunger-strike. Impressed by the growing volume of proest in the Catholic Press of Europe, the Government has instructed the oFreign Minister to issue an official statement concerning the arrests. This s tatement is not vet to hand, but its character can be deduced in advance when we remember that M. Zaunius, .the Foreign Minister, recently declared to Press representatives that Lithuania was not afraid of a conflict with the Holy See because the latter had such a small army. ENGAGEMENTS.

The "Red" Menace in Canada Archbishop Warns His Flock. Warning against the menace of Bolshevism to the social status of the world in general, and Canada in particular, Archbishop Georges Gauthier, Co-ad]utor of the Archdiocese of Montreal, in a letter read in all the churches of the Archdiocese, declares that "social upheavals" are the goal of the Communists. "The Soviets have already achieved the conscription of man labour, they are now preparing the people's mind for that of woman labour," he writes. "Here in Montreal," he goes on, "we are faced by an unaccustomed phenomenon. How this theory of Bolshevism continues to exist among those of our own tongue who are already imbued with it and whom a badly regulated system of immigration has allowed to implant themselves here, we can understand, though we cannot excuse. "But what is new and what we can less easily grasp, is how the Soviets have found and initiated followers among our own people, and how men of our own blood and in our own town have devoted themselves to the Soviet cause. "Let us not be misled as to the objective of this campaign At first sight, it might seem that the moment we are confronted only with an antireligious campaign. Let us not be so simple-minded as to think it will stop at that. Social upheavals are their goal."

The New Great War Father Owen Dudley's Warning. "Already you can witness the beginning of another Great War—this time between the Catholic Church and the world. In England the film world is t o a large extent arraying itself against the Christian safeguards of the home." This note of warning was struck by Father Owen F. Dudley, in an interest. ing lecture, "Marriage—Holy and Unholy," which he delivered to a large audience in Dublin. The happiest home, Father Dudley said, was the home full of children. The modern idea was to put the home in the background; the Catholic idea was that the home should be foremost. The extreme modern idea was to abolish the home or make the children State property. In England the Catholic Church futind itself confronted with modem paganism and was compelled to defend herself. A host of modern unbelieving scientists and philosophers were systematically and with set purpose trying to undermine all that the Catholic A section of the 'buret' stood for. Press was perverting the public mind against the very morality most intimately bound up with the Christian home. Neo-paganism was growing rapidly, and they would soon see a positive caordination of evil. The neo-pagans condemned marriage as causing adultery, infidelity, and cruelty, but it was the traitors to the marriage bond who were to blame for adultery, infidelity, and emetic. In England and France a process was going on which he could only describe as the animalisation of men and women. Fathers and mothers should keep their children from the cinema, because the cinema-fed child was incapable of wonder and had lost the gift of spontaneous humour and enjoyment. The cinema could ruin children. Something like 80 per cent of the films shown were subversive of the sanctity of marriage, a condonation of free love and a display of sensuality as the supreme thing in life. At present there were nearly 1.000 waiting cases in the Divorce Courts in England, most of them undefended, and in America one was hardly in the swim unless one had been divorced. In the home formed by Catholic ideals there was happiness.

Aunt Bessy's Corner DEAR NIECES AND NEPHEWS,— Holidays over again for a while; steady work at school the rule. Some of my little nieces have sent in short stories, but as one of them is a little Christmas episode, it is too late to use for last Christmas, and too early to use for the Christmas coming. So you must not be offended, dear, when you find your little story is returned to you., Try again next Christmas with the story. If I kept it, it would most likely get mislaid. The poem, "Mother, is for Bridget Doyle, in response to a request of hers for a poem about "mother." Swimming days are nearly over, though Easter days were warm, ideal days for the beach and swimming. The autumn leaves are palling from the trees, a sign that winter is slowly and surely approaching. The green leaves of summer are turning brown, yellow, and red, and falling from the trees form leafy carpets for the feet. This week's short letter concludes with a few oldfashioned rules of grammar that might prove helpful in school to many of you.
These little words you often see Are articles, a, an, and the, A noun's the name of anything, As school or garden, hoop or swing. Adjectives tell the kind of noun, As great, small, pretty, white or brown. Instead of nouns, the pronouns stand, Her head, his face, your arm, by hand. Verbs tell of something to be done, To read, count, sing, laugh, jump or run. How things are done the adverbs tell, A s slowly, quickly, ill or well. Conjunctions join the words together, As men or women, wind and weather. The preposition stands before A noun, as in, or through a door. The interjection shows surprise, As 0 !how pretty—Ah! how wise. The whole are called nine parts of speech. Which reading, writing, speaking teach. AUNT BESSY. Acknowledgments: Letters from Brid. get Doyle, omitted from last week's issue; sorry, Bridget: Norma Cripps, Alice Walsh, Josephine, Gladys. and Maudie. and Mollie O'Keefe.

To his surprise, when they arrived there was 720 tins. How did the mistake occur? Solution: His wire was worded: Send 32 dozen cases" ( which was 384), but the clerk worded the message: "Send 30 two-dozen cases" ( which was 720). Work This Out: A man was asked how many books he had on a certain shelf. He replied: "If I hart as mansmore. and seven in addition, I should have 32." How many had he? Try This Competition: Each question must be answered by two words, each spelt differently, pronounced the same, but with two different meanings. Here is an example: (1) I am a flower, and

Riddles: What are the hottest letters in the alphabet?—K.N. (Cayenne). When is a bank note like wrought iron? —When it is forged. Here is your poem, Bridget Doyle. I hope you like it:—
"Mother." I chose a gift for mother, rich gold and rarest gem, And had they been God's golden stars, close woven in a crown. They might have lost their lustre, when those dear eyes looked dawn. I turned a wreath for mother, the best of summer flowers, White lillies and white roses, the pride of garden bowers. Their petals were no purer, than her white hands pure and sweet. And the flowers were only fitted, as a pathway to her feet. Then I wrote a song for mother, there was love in every line, And never sang such music, in any song of mine. But the words were all unworthy, though the wc.cds were good and true, So I left the song unfinished, andI tore the page in two. And the richest I could fashion, and the fairest I could twine, Was fit for no man's mother, and so much less fit for mine; But I trust at last in Heaven God will w reath her with His light, And the angels sing the verses, that will praise her worth aright. —W. H. Ogilvie. "Mumby," Ogilvie. Dear Aunt Bessy,—I hope you are well. I am sure it must be nearly a month since I wrote to you. It is ten days since I wrote to Eileen Purchase, but I have not heard from her yet. Perhaps she has got someone else for a pen-friend. Owen was one yesterday. He stands up by himself.

General regret was expressed in Perth, when the news became known of the death in Narrogin of Mr. John Brinsley Sheridan, late of the Railway Hotel. Perth, and formerly secretary of Westralian Hotels Ltd. The late Mr. Sheridan was born in Sydney, 49 years ago, of Irish parents. Educated by the Christian Brothers, after leaving school he entered the mining office of Bewick Mareing and Co., in Broken Hill. He was later transferred to W A., and became accountant of the Great Boulder No. 1 Mine. During the war period Mr. Sheridan was engaged by the Defence Department as accountant in charge of deceased soldiers' estates. At the close of the war he became secretary of the Stanley Brewery Co., Ltd., which later changed its title He conto Westralian Hotels, Ltd. ducted the Railway Hotel, BarrackAt the street, for about three years. time of his death he was lessee of the Railway Refreshment Rooms, Narrogin. Of a bright and happy disposition, Mr. Sheridan was well liked by all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance. A man of action more than words, he was ready to do a good turn for everyone, but his first thought and
preference was for those who belonged to the household of his own faith. There was nothing selfish in his makeup, and it gave him real pleasure to be able to help any deserving cause. His friends will miss him, and their sincere sympathy goes out to Mrs. Sheridan and her son in the loss that they have sustained. Holy Mass having previously been offered up for the repose of his soul, the funeral moved from the Sacred Heart Church, Highgate Hill, on the morning of Wednesday, the 1st. inst., and proceeded by road to the Catholic Cemetery, Karrakatta, where Rev. Father McKeon recited the last prayers for the faithful departed, in the preThe sence of a large assemblage. chief mourners were: Mrs. C. A. Sheridan (widow), Leo (son), Mr. F. J.

HOME, SWEET HOME 'Mid pleasures and palaces, wherever we may roam, Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home." TO AN ALTAR BOY. What a happy blessed boyhood Little courtier to the King! Like the white-winged Easter angels Christ's returning heralding When the first pale rose of morning Blossoms in the eastern sky, At thy touch the sweet chimes mut.mu: "Christ to Nazareth passeth by." Clothed in thy royal purple, And in lace and linen fair, With the mellow glow of candles Making halos 'round tthy hair. Little courtier, I am praying That what'er the years may bring, Life's last hour still may find thee In the service of the King. WORDS OF WISDOM. If you would be loved as a companion, avoid unnecessary criticism upon those with whom you live. Virtue and holiness of life are allpowerful, or at least very powerful, not only with God, but even with men. Ardent desires are wings by means of which the saints raised themselves to union with God, by a perfect love. The telling of a falsehood is like the cutting of a sword, though the wound may heal, the scar will remain. As long as a soul has not given itself wholly to God, it is in danger of leaving Him and losing itself. Let us always remember the Last Judgment, after the example of St. Jerome. who never had it absent from his mind. God takes especial delight in the humility of a man who believes that he has not yet begun to do any good. Want of vigilance over our eyes feeds almost all the passions which make war upon our souls. The Catholic habit is taking the faith right into the home, and making it a path of daily life. It means giving your children Catholic eyes and ears. Happy he who desires the compassion of Our Lady; happiest, supremely happy, he who in compassion and gentleness becomes like the Mother of God. There are few things impossible in themselves; perseverance to bring them to a successful issue is wanting much more than the means. Let us throw ourselves into the arms of God, and be sure that if He wishes anything of us, He will make us good lot all Ile desires us to do for Him. FREDDIE AND HIS MOTHER. (A little story from which young people may draw a very good lesson): 'Freddie was eight years old, and one Saturday evening he put on his mother's plate at supper his bill for work done during the week. This is the way he put it: Mother Owes Freddie:—‘For being good this week. Is.: for doing music, 8d.; two messages, 7d.; for good to Total, 2s 9d. school. 4d.: extras. 2d. On Sunday. mother placed her bill— along with the 2s. 9d—on Freddie's plate. Freddie Owes Mother —For all his tops and sweets. 0; for good clothes, 0: fc.ir his happy home, 0; for nursing him when sick. 0; for his life, 0. Total owed by Freddie to his Mother, 0.— Miriam Agatha. WHAT MAKES A GREAT LIFE. Do not try to do a great thing; you may waste all your life waiting for the opportunity which may never come. But since little things are always claiming your attention to them as they come from a great motive, for the glory of God, to win His smile of approval and to do good to men. It is better to plod on in obscurity, acting thus, than to stand on the high places in a field within view of all and do deeds of valour at which rival armies stand still to gaze. To fulfil faithfully the duties of Your station: to use to the uttermost the gifts that God has given you: to bear chafing and trivial irritations as martyrs bore the pillory and the stake, to find the one noble trait in people who try to molest you: to put the kindest words: to love with the love of God even the unthankful and the evil; to be content to be a fountain in the midst of a wild valley of stones, nourishing a few lichens and wild flowers. er now and again a thirsty sheep: and to do this always and not for the praise of men, but for the sake of Cmd, this makes a great life.
or
THE EFFICACY THE MASS. If we have any doubts about the efficacy of the Mass to obtain grace. let us reflect on what takes place at the esYential parts of the Sacrifice.
SEVEN TEEN
THE RECORD.
Saturday, April 11, 1931.
The priest at the moment of the Consecration, offers all the sufferings of Jesus, and Our Lord Himself, pleads for us with His open wounds, His parched tongue, His desolation of spirit, and His unspeakable love for souls. When we offer our petitions at Mass, they are presented to Our Heavenly Father together with all the efficacy of the death of Jesus on the Cross. This means that one prayer offered at Mass is worth hundreds of prayers offered at other times. Some say that they can pray as well at home as at Mass. They may pray as well, but not with the same efficacy. Our prayers at home are good, but they are of nall value when compared with those offered during Mass. Every day we meet people who are complaining of their want of many things. Some want temporal and others spiritual favours. Some wish to overcome some temptation, others want to be relieved from anxiety. If these people only knew the power and the efficacy of the Holy Sacrifice!
In order to reopen the gates of heaven to us, He was pleased to become incarnate and to be led like a lamb to the slaughter. His voluntary crucifixion tells more plainly than any words what idea He intends us to conceive of His attitude towards us. He who has brought us back from the bondage of Satan at the price of His Blood assuredly will not leave a single stone unturned to see us through to the finish with the work of our salvation. God does His part by lavishing upon us graces which enlighten the understanding and fortify the will, without trespassing upon the perfect liberty of choice, with which He has endowed us and by the proper use of which He intends us to serve Him and to save souls. We are not mere passive recipients of grace. We must, so to speak, put out a hand and lay hold—in a word, we must co-operate. There is no possibility of God abandoning us, but there is considerably more than a shadow of a chance of our abandoning Him. It is on account qf this danger that St. Paul exhorts us to work out our salvation "with fear and trembling" (Phil. ii., 12). The more you trust God and mistrust yourself, the less ground will you have for being apprehensive about your perseverance to the end. Cling closely to God, Who alone never changes and never turns His face away from you. MODERN ETHICS. A youth who lied, confession made To Aunt Priscilla, stern and staid. "You've sinned, Augustus," came reply, "You've sinned, you naughty boy. Oh fie." He told an uncle, who replied, "Subconsciously you may have lied. You're not to blame, most obviously, 'Tis complex in your entity." He told a curate, living nigh, Who answered him, "My boy you lie; There isn't truth, and so you see There isn't lying. Q.E.D." Augustus now all falsehoods spurns, And with a zeal for truth he burns. "I'd rather fear" he says, "not lie Than into modern ethics pry." D. EM., in "G K.'s Weekly."
"This is the Bread that came down from Heaven. . . . He that eateth this Bread shall live for ever."— Him vi
GOD ALONE IS INFINITE. Blessed is the simplicity which avoids difficult questions, and walks on the plain and firm footpath of the Commandments of God. Many have lost devotion because they would search into deep matters. Faith is required of you, and an upright life: not depth of intellect and subtle knowledge of the Mysteries of God. If you do not understand, nor receive into your mind the things beneath you, how will you comprehend the things which are above you? Submit yourself to God, and humble your sense to faith, and the light of knowledge shall be given to you so far as shall be necessary and good for You. THE WISDOM OF FATHER DEGEN A teacher cd religion is not necessar ily a religous teacher. Slow thinkers are not always the best and wisest thinkers If education is not essential to a saint, it is helpful and valuable to sanctity. Christian almsgiving involves discrimination as well as sacrifice. Blind generosity may do rit-tre 1.-ann than good. Self-expression and self-development are to be commended provided that a man aims at being not just his ordinary wayward self, but his best self. The outstanding evil of film productions is that their central interest revolves round the passions, problems, and tragedies of sex alluringly, and sensationally portrayed. Be an idealist, but combine with your ideals practical methods of giving effect to them. Always think before you act, but don't vacillate—get a move on. Prolonged weighing up of pros and cons would reduce life to a tedious game of chess and paralyse action. —"Irish Catholic." HOPE. God is not only powerful and wise! He is also good: in fact. He is the sumtotal and source of all goodness. It is His express wish that we should regard and treat Him as our Father in the fullest and truest sense of the word.
LOVE'S CANTICLE. "But how shallI show my love, since love proves itself by deeds? Well! The little child will strew flowers . . . she will emblam the Divine Throne with their fragrance, she will sing Love's Canticle in silvery tones. Yea, my Beloved, it is thus my short life shall be spent in Thy sight. The only way I have of proving my love is to strew flowers before Thee—that is to say, I will let no tiny sacrifice pass, no look, no word. I wish to profit by the smallest actions, and to do them for Love. I wish to suffer for Love's sake, and for Love's sake rc en to rejoice: thus shall I strew flowers. Not one shallI find without scattering its petals before Thee. . . and I will sing. . . I will sing always. even A my roses must be gathered from amidst thorns; and the longer and sharper the thorns the sweeter shall be my song"— St.Therese of Lisieux.
studies, and we can tell you just what kind of a man he will make. The boy who is late at breakfast, late at school, stands a poor chance of being a prompt man. The boy who neglects his duties be they ever so small, and then excuses himself by saying, "I forgot; I didn't think," will never be a reliable man; and the boy who finds pleasure in the suffering of weak creatures will never be a noble, generous, kind man—a Christian gentleman. THINGS TO FORGET. Forget the slander you have heard, Forget the hasty, unkind word; Forget the quarrel and the cause Forget the whole affair, because Forgetting is the only way. Forget the storm of yesterday, Forget the trials you have had, Forget the weather if its bad, Forget the grizzler: he's a freak; Forget him seven days a week. A PITYING SPIRIT. A gloomy heart finds no end of gloom. A songful spirit hears music everywhere, but a life that has no music in itself never hears a tuneful note, even amidst the sweetest and Such a spirit is richest harmonies. indeed to be pitied, shut in as it is from all the sounds of nature and grace. VICTORY IN DEFEAT. Life would be too easy, heaven too lightly gained, if the victor's crowd could be won by a single struggle. In that battle the heart's best blood must be drained; the wearied soul must stand to its arms again and yet again. There will be many an apparent truce, and perhaps many a sore defeat, before the end, which sometimes seems so far, is won at last. "Has Josh learned much at college?" "No doubt about it," answered Farmer Comtossel. "He tried to tell me something about a fight between Greeks and Trojans. but I told him he was wasting his time. What us home folks wanted to hear about was the football game."

:iv., a mother should carefully guard it, and not impatiently provoke a fit of bad temper, remembering that one turn of anger provokes another. Another emotion to be carefully guarded against is fear, for the effects of fear and terror will often cast a shadow over the whole life of a child. Fear ought to be unknown to a little child. Anger is bad, but fear is harmful to every function of a dear little 'child's body, and may even hinder development, both mental and physical Another common fault in dealing with a little child is to inculcate the emotion of jealousy, and a little child who is loving, sensitive, and warm-hearted needs ma teaching in the direction of jealousy. Teach the child to love, and help the sister, brother, or friend of whom the child is jealous. Avoid arousing any foolish emotion, but train, ever so carefully, the little flowers, flowers of innocence sent to us from Heaven.

Add sufficient peppermint to flavour to taste. Turn on to a board covered wi„th icing sugar, and knead until smoth. Roll and stamp into rounds. Stand on wax paper to dry. Store in air-tight tins. Brine Recipe: Three kerosene tins of rain water, eighteen lbs. of salt, two lbs. of brown sugar, two tablespoons saltpetre. Boil for one hour and skim the frothy matter rising to the surface. Strain into a clean barrel. It is better to make this brine the day before using, so that it will be quite cold. Weight down any meat to be put into t he pickle, so that the brine completely covers the meat Put fly-proof cover over the barrel. A chaff bag placed across barrel, with hoops to tighten it down, makes a good cover.

A little girl was taken by her father to bathe in the sea for the first time. Hitherto her only experience of bathing had been the bath at home. As she waded in, tightly holding her father's hand, the water rose to her chin. "Oh, papa," she exclaimed, "take me out It's too full!" A citizen of one of the Western Amerman States, with a shot-gun in his hand, was found hunting for the editor of the local paper. One of his f t lends asked him what the editor had 'lone. "Done!" exclaimed the indignant citizen. "Why, I sent him a letter signed 'llonestas,' and he printed it, but added another 's.'" • Sharp: "I reckon I owe everything 5 ) my wife."

"A man who lives on beer ought to be compelled to live alone!" • • Two Scots met at the club. Said Mae from Angus to Mac from 1berdeen, "I hear you've just ccme hack from Rome. How did you get on? Did you do as the Romans do?" "No, man," was the answer, "Ah did t he Romans!" Teacher, to new scholar: • "How does it happen that your name is Allen and our mother's name is Brown?" Little boy, after a moment's thought: Well, you see, it's this way—my .nether married again, and I didn't!" Artist's friend. patronisingly: "I t hink those thistles in your foreground are superbly realistic, old chap! 'Pon fl y word, they seem to be nodding in lie breeze, don't you know!" Ungrateful Artist: "Yes, I've had one of two people tell me they would almost deceive an ass!" A t three o'clock one• morning, Mr. Young crept softly up the stairs, after a night of dissipation at the club. All was still in the house, but, unfortunately as he c.pened the door of the herlroom he stepped on the tail of the ,-at. A penetrating screech resounded t hrough the house. "John," said the wife, awakening, "don't you think it's rather late to be singing? The neigh'ours might complain!" A country doctor, on• being called hurriedly to a patient's house, found t he man in a comatose condition, evidently from the effects of some powerful narcotic. "How did this happen?" he demanded, after working hard for an hour or "Did more at restorative measures. ou give him a dose of the powder I left?" "Yes, sir," responded the tearful wife. "As much as would go on a sixpence and no more?" "Yes, sir, we done as you said—that is, we couldn't find no sixpence, so I t ook six pennies out of Bill's moneybox and gave him just what they w ould carry!" A recruit, who had just joined the Army, and who, because he spoke in a pronounced country dialect, was look. cd upon as "green." was sent to the canteen with instructions to get a -round square" On reaching the canteen he said to the man behind the bar. "The sergeant of A room sent me to see if you would
let him have a gallon of beer until Saturday:: The man in charge of the canteen, knowing the sergeant, willingly complied, and the recruit returned to the room with the beer. "Here you are, sergeant," said he. " we will drink round, and you can square up!" • Brown: "What did your wife say about your staying out so late on St. Stephen's night?" Jones: "Don't ask me yet. When she gets through with the subject I'll condense it for you." "My son," said the parson to a small boy, who was digging. "don't you know that it is a sin to dig on Sunday, except in a case of necessity?" "Yes, sir," replied the youngster. "Then why don't you stop it?" asked the good man. " 'Cause this is a case of necessity," replied the young philosopher, "a feller can't fish without bait." Ile: "I thought you knew the Browns. Don't you live in the same square?" She: "Yes, but not in the same circle." "So you want a wife who can • sing, and play, and cook, and so on?"

Sandy received a fairly substantial increase. Some time later, the manager. meeting Sandy, inquired: "I suppose you've settled down to married life now, eh, Sandy?" "I'm no married," replied the workman. "But didn't you apply to me for a rise because you were thinking of getting married?" said the manager. "Oh, ay, but I've stopped thinking!" factory approached
