THE RECORD.
ST. PATRICK'S DAY CELEBRATIONS NOTABLE Speeches of deep interest to Catholics in both England and Ireland were delivered by Prof. J. M. O'Sullivan, Irish Free State Minister of Education, Archbishop Downey, and Sir Martin Melvin, G.C.S.G., before a distinguished gathering of 500 people at the St. Patrick's Day banquet in the Adelphi hotel. Prof. O'Sullivan summed up the present position of Ireland in these words: "By solid. if somewhat prosaic work, by resolutely facing the tasks that confronted her. by establishing an e fficient, clean and impartial administration. Ireland has given the lie direct to an old slander that Irishmen could not manage their own country. "We have abolished patronage for entrance into the State, and local services—merit alone is the password. "I do not claim that Ireland is an economic paradise, or any kind of paradise. It certainly is not; I know of no country that is. But she can certainly look to the future with less :nisgivngs than most other lands. Even at the moment we can challenge comparison with any other country. Our financial credit is second to none. "These matters I mention not to sound the praises of the Government of which I am a member; I mention them as but fitting on this day, because they redound to the credit of the Irish people as a whole. "Let it not be thought that in put suing the material progress of out country we have neglected the spiriWe have thoroughly overtual side. hauled our educational system, primIn ary, secondary, and technical. f ace of much criticism we adopted the policy best calculated to strengthen the national fibre, by giving its proper place to the national language in the schools. "At the same time we have been able to avoid those devastating and barren conflicts on the rival competencies of Church and State that have left so many corpses along the road of the educational history of Europe. "The State is satisfied. Had we of the State the appointment of teachers in our own hands, the same qualificatiens required would be the same as are required, and the same personnel would be teaching as is teaching to-day. "The Churches are satisfield; and not merely the Church of the vast majority, but also the Churches of the minority. "In this respect we have made it our aim to be scrupulously fair, not in order to garner any cheap reputation for tolerance, but as a matter of justice. If we are involved in extra expense for the upkeep of small—sometimes very small—schools, which would disappear on a strictly undenominational system, why, then. we regard the money as well spent. "Ireland is to-day a country with a strong, healthy. positive, but by no means chauvinistic national spirit. She faces the future with confidence. She has emerged from subjection and from a revolutionary period without the establishment of a dictatorship, with a constitution that makes the will of the people effective. "Perhaps in the spirit of the toast that has been just honoured ("The Day We Celebrate") it may be her destiny to show how allegiance to the Ancient Church of Patrick may be combined with the principles and practices of modern democracy and State government." Other points in Prof, O'Sullivan's speech were: ' Occupied as we have been in recent years with the task of building up our newly-established State, beset on all sides with urgent problems. we are open perhaps to the charge of seeming to forget the great services so disinterestedly and continuously given to Ireland at every phase in her struggle by the Irish in Great Britain. Such ingratitude would ill become us, for the debt we owe to the Irish of Great Britain, and especially to those of Liverpool, is big indeed, and one that is not of to-day or yesterday. "But though work almost at fever heat to exploit our newly-won freedom to the fullest advantage for our State has possibly made us very self-centred, the interests of the Irish at home and of the Irish in Great Britain can never be sundered. "It is not without significance that the greatest figure in our history—ecclesiastical or secular—is our national Apostle. And the religion which St. Patrick brought to our land was that of the Universal Church. "The emigration from Ireland has al-

Around the Catholic World PROTESTANT PROPAGANDA IN ROME. An appeal has been made by the "Osservatore Romano" to all cultured and enlightened Protestants to denounce the methods employed by Protestant propaganda in Rome, which are an insult to religion, intelligence, and self-respect. "It is the worst form of subversive agitation, and public authorities who wage war on one form of subversion cannot logically tolerate another. We do not desire prosecutions to be started, but it is legitimate to put a brake upon unworthy methods," says the "Osservatore," which instances the pamphlets issued by the Protestant Mission in Italy, which are distributed among the humble and needy, describing the Papacy as the creation of an Oriental Emperor in the thirteenth century, and accusing Rome of falsifying the Decalogue. GLASGOW TRIBUTE TO BLESSED JOHN OGIL'VIE, S.J. A great concourse of Catholics, estimated at between 12,000 and 15,000, took part in the streets of Glasgow, of the martyr priest, Blessed John Ogilvie, S.J., the anniversary of whose death fell on the 10th. ult. Assembling at Glasgow Cross, they formed a huge procession, which, precisely at 4 p.m., the hour at which Father Ogilvie died, moved off up High Street and made its way to the Cathedral Square. In previous Years, the prayers were said outside the Cathedral gates; but on this occasion the processionists were allowed into the grounds at the north side of the old Cathedral, where the remains of Here, led by Father the martyr lie. Hamilton. of St. Peter's College, Bearsden, the Rosary was recited, the men with heads uncovered, making the responses. Prayers for the Canonisation of the martyr and the conversion of Scotland followed, and the singing of the hymns "Faith of Our Fathers" and "Hail, Queen of Heaven"—the music being provided by the band of the Ogilvie Boy Scouts from St. Aloysius' Barnethill, concluded the ceremony. NEED OF PRIESTS. As an indication of the need of priests for the Indian missions of South America, which have never fully recovered from the war on the Society of Jesus, which mgrked the latter part of the 18th. century. the following experience of a Catholic missionary is related by The missionary not long ago Fides: was compelled by circumstances to enter a village of Chiquito Indians in BolThe joy of the inhabitants at ivia. seeing a priest for the first time in many years was unrestrained, as they gathered about him shouting in Indian and broken Spanish, "Missa vos, hora?" which means Mass at what time. The missionary being without his kit, replied regretfully that . there was to be no Mass, whereupon the natives cried "Domingo! Domingo!" (Sunday, Sunday) . The priest was moved to tears, he relates, when, the following morning, the natives gathered to simulate Mass as nearly as possible, by entering the old chapel of the village, lighting candles, carrying the Cross in procession, reciting common prayers, and singing the Kyrie, the Gloria, and the Credo. --IRISH PIONEER PRIESTS IN LIBERIA. Pioneer missionary work in the heart of the hinterland of Liberia has been inaugurated by the priests of the Irish Province of the African Missions of Lyons. • The first priest recently left Monrovia for Kakata, 30 miles distant. From there he will trek into the bush land for eight days' journey to Saklape. Sanaquelli and Tappi Town. Great hopes for ccnversions among the tribal villages are cherished. TO SERVE THE LEPERS, Father Paul Iwashita. a young Japanese priest, has volunteered to take charge of the lepers of Gottemba. whose former priest, Father Drouart Lozay. has died at the age of 82. EUCHARISTIC PROCESSION BANNED. During the first five days of July a Eucharistic gathering will be held at Lille, and it is expected that all France will be represented. Lille was selected by the French Committee of Eucharistic Congresses for the holding of this year's National Congress on account of the fact that 1931 is the fiftieth anniversary of the first Congress, which was held at Lille. Great indignation and regret have been caused by the sudden announcement of the Mayor of this great industrial city that no Procession of the Host through the main streets on the closing day of the Congress.

they are resolved to prevent the celebration of the Congress in the manner so dear to Catholics. Cardinal Lienart The anti-Catholic achas protested. tion of the municipality is all the more distressing because Lille is the city in which the first Eucharistic Congress Just 50 years ago, the took place. conspicuous piety of the people of Lille responded to a proposal, made by some devout lovers of the Blessed Sacrament, for the holding of an International Congress. Lille's example stirred the Catholic world, and since 1881, International Congresses have been held in all Catholic lands. It is, indeed, calamitous that irreligion should rob Lille, the parent city of the world-wide Congress movement, of the happiness of celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of its first Congress with all the public e xuberance of a Catholic civic life. CARTOONIST WORLD IRISH DEAD. One of the veteran members of the staff of the "Irish World." Mr. Thomas Fleming, died on March 4, in MapleMr. wood, NJ.. in his 78th. year. Fleming was one of the best-known cartoonists in the United States. He was always associated with the "Irish World." His first cartoon appeared in The last the "Irish World" in 1872. from his veasatile pen appeared on the 14th. of March, and was entitled "Unfurl the Banner of the Day," drawn only a few days before his death, and represented St. Patrick holding a banner on which is repreesnted the shamrock, the three leaves bearing the titles. "Irish Freedom," "Irish Language," "Irish Games." For the past quarter of a century, Mr. Fleming was a member of the staff of the "Irish World," having previously contributed cartoons, The Mace 1879, at various intervals. "Irish World" writes of him: "Mr. Fleming was of a retiring and modest disposition. He delighted in picturing in vivid and forceful manner the main events of the day, but he, himself, was content to remain in the background and watch the passing show from the sidelines. Readers of the 'Irish World' will recall the many excellent cartoons which he drew and which summed up, in terse and vigorous style, the topics His passing is a real of the time. loss to the Irish movement in America, and will be keenly regretted by all." Mr. Fleming was born in Philadelphia He studied at on February 25, 1853. the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, coming to New York shortly afterwards. He was the author of two books, entitled work one a two-volume "Around the Capital," in which he illustrated his impressions of Washington, and the other a volume entitled "Notable Newarkers." He was a member of the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, the Art Center of New York, the Pennsylvania Society of New Jersey, and the New York Cartoonists' Society. He is survived by his wife and two sons.

It was the boast of the leaders of the Republic twenty years ago that they would destroy religion in Portugal within two generations. The exact contrary has come to pass. The present Government, which came into power in 1926, has completely reversed the anti-clerical bias of the previous regime, and the most amicable relations exist between Church and State. The former now enjoy complete freedom from State interference, the r eligious Orders are tolerated, and the Government contributes generously to missionary enterprise in the colonies. Moreover, a considerable amount of c onfiscated property has been restored to the ecclesiastical authorities. Only a few months ago the President and members of the Government took part in a great pilgrimage to Fatima, the Lourdes of Portugal, when 150,000 persons were present, more than 2(/.000 of whom received Holy Communion. When it is remembered what was the condition of religion in Portugal only a few years back, the present state of affairs must seem little short of miraculous.—"Catholic Times."

Imported Papers Bishop on Need For Catholic Action Speaking in the Pro-Cathedral, Galway, Most Rev. Dr. O'Doherty, Bishop of Galway, said he had heard that, notwithstanding all that had been said by the missioners, and lately by himself, in denunciation of the "Daily Mail's" review of the blasphemous "Life" of Christ, some of the Galway newsagents were still selling the "Daily Mail." One of the newsagents had dedared that it would, be sold, even if the Pope of Rome came to forbid it. "A few years ago," his Lordship cottinued, "we had a most inspiring ceremony in this city, when the city and its people were dedicated solemnly to Christ the King. It was a remarkable day and a remarkable night, when practically every house in the town was britliantly illuminated. "Citizens of Galway are dedicated since that day to Christ the King. Are they going to allow their King to be bespattered by the 'Daily Mail?' We have heard a great deal recently of the Catholic action recommended by the Pope. If ever there was cause for Catholic action, this is one, namely, to clear our cities and towns of the foulness that is often to be discovered in imported papers."
PRIEST AND PROPHETS OF EVIL Outside the Catholic Church all was confusion to-day, and non-Catholics were tossed about by every wind fortune. What they believed to-daY might be rejected to-morrow. while Catholics had the faith of St. Patrick preached all over the land. Thus Very Rev. P. E. Duffy. S.T.I. , P.P., V.G., Tullamore, who preached the special sermon on St. Patrick's Day, when the new church at Kilbride, Co. Meath, the foundation -stone of which was laid in September. 1929, was dedicated to the Sacred Heart of St. Brigid by Most Rev. Dr. Mulvany, Bishop of Meath. Father Duffy said the Parish of 1(11bride could trace its origin back to the very dawn of Christianity in Ireland. St. Brigid had founded a church in that parish, and that day's ceremony was a proof that the people were true to their glorious past, and determined to hand down to their children the priceless legacy of faith which they themFelvec had got from their fathers. Father Duffy then made the statement given above, and went on to say that there were some prophets of evit amongst them who forbotied dark and bitter things for the Irish Church; they said that the old order had passed away, that the old watchwords were discarded, and that the bonds which linked pastor and flock were loosening. It was true that a revolution had taken place amongst them in recent years! they recognised it, and were glad that the old spirit of slavery was dying out. and that they had lived to see the dawn of freedom in Irish skies. They were at last masters in their own land, and never again would they allow themselves to be trampled upon because they were Catholics. The Church was at last coming int, her own. It might be mid that danger lurked in their new-found freedom but they need have no misgivings about the Faith of Ireland. The Church in Ireland would show that she could be the mother of freemen as well as slaves, and there was no fear that they would lose the Faith t o which they had clung so steadfastly in the bitterest days of persecution.

"But the long arm of the law was there, and again. in Catholic Malta, the police, paid by the Catholic population, suppressed the minutest approach to a demonstration of love and respect. "It is worth recalling that some time ago Lord Strickland and Bartok!, on their return from Lcndon, were accorded a demonstration by their supporters. The police allowed what hirelings the Party can still commandeer to do as they liked in the way of a 'popular' welcome. -The Archbishop, however, is not to be treated with any latitude, and the Curmites had to keep their mouths closed while the pastor of a cent, per cent.

"There was a band the band of the place, ready at the presbytery to welcome the Archbishop The police, who, when feelings were at the highest, allowed a constitutional band to play at St. Antonio Gardens. would not allow the Curmi band to play at the presbytery, and the thing ended with the hand being compelled to go inside the church and play the Pontifical hvmn there. The Archbishop nobly exhorted the people who managed to cram themselves in the church to keep their peace, to abide by the law, to respect authority And the Curmites did."

PERTH, SATURDAY .APRIL 25, 1931.
THE ANZACS To-day, throughout our Commonwealth, the great achievements of our soldiers who fought and fell in the Great War will be • recalled, and generous tributes of veneration paid to their memories. Anzac Day is a Day of Remembrance of our dead who died (as we have been told, and shall be told again and again, so long as the celebration of Anzac Day endures) that civilisation might live and the world be made better for man to live in. It is a day that should have a deeply religious significance, and be invested with a religious atmosphere. For Catholics it is. an occasion when their dead shall be prayed for, and the Divine Mercy invoked on their behalf. In keeping with the solemnity of this Day of Remembrance, a Requiem Mass is offered to the Almighty One for the happy repose of their souls. • • It is well to keep hallowed in memory the noble service of the Anzacs in the cause of human liberty—their great sacrifices and heroic conduct should not drift into the commonplace and be forgotten. To-day owes an unmeasured tribute to their magnificent defence against a prodigious attempt to establish a great military dictatorship and a super-nation in Central Europe. The destruction of that attempt is the outstanding fact of the Great War, and the Anzacs' contribution to that historic fact is the Why of to-day's celebration. To-day declares the memory of the Anzacs shall not fade, but shall be perpetuated by a grateful people But let not our through all the To-morrows that shall come. gratitude be debased by the false alloy of mere materialistic patronage—that nondescript thing pagans give at the shrines they erect to the memory of their heroes. There is, unfortunately, noticeable a tendency to forget the immortal part of man and to remember only that abstraction—the soldier. Here is where war might become an ideal associated with the celebration, and a cult established to the advantage of militarism. It is not for the glorification of war that the valiant deeds of our dead are by the celebration of Anzac Day rescued from forgetfulness and given a place in the Valhalla of Memory, but rather that their great sacrifice shall live and be remembered as a warning against the world's mortal sins—Imperialism, National Jealousy, Commercial Greed, Selfish Competition, and Racial and Religious Animosities. Their heroism and sacrifice were spontaneous contributions, given at the call of the Empire (if we are to believe the apologias of the Allies) that civilisation might be preserved and the world made a better world to live in. that universal peace should spring, Phoenixlike, from the ashes of the Great War's widespread carnage, dislocation, and ruin. Finally, it meant that Right should govern in nation affairs, and that war as a method of deciding international differences, should be superseded by arbitration; that the savage arbitraments of Force should be succeeded by the counsels of Reason and Justice. How far have the nations travelled towards that crystal goal of Peace? • • • After a twelve years' respite it is still a problem how to save our civilisation from collapse. The terrible chastening effects of the Great War have not purged the world of its old passions and desires; they still govern and misdirect the ambitions of mankind. Radicalism, naked and uncontrolled, threatens all Europe with disaster. Christianity is its pet aversion, and it aims to overthrow it. Sad to say, what is helping Radicalism in its war on religion is the disunion and jealousies of the dissident religious bodies. It civilisation is not to be destroyed by the advancing armies of Radicalism, Christianity must close up its ranks and unite. Let us breathe into the commemoration services associated with the Allies' victory and Anzac Day, a spirit of tolerance and goodwill. and above all a deep and abiding respect for Christianity, wherein lies the real protection of human liberty.

St. Catherine (14th. century) belonged to the Third Order of St. Dominic, and lived a wonderful life of prayer and penance, receiving from God marvellous graces, among them the stigmata and inspired knowledge of profound mysteries of faith. Her life is chiefly remarkable for the services she rendered the Church, especially in bringing about the return of the Popes to Rome after 70 years' exile in Avignon.

It was not only in distant places, but in Rome and Italy, that proselytism was indefatigable and more insidious now than ever before. They should fight this evil by the study of their own Faith, and they would then be invincible when attacked by heresy. Afterwards they could make themselves acquainted with the enemy, not for the purpose of doing him evil, but to do him good by conquering error with truth.

The Pope's Broadcast. On St. Joseph's Day the Pope received in special audience the rector, superiors and students of the North American College. Over two hundred were presented and the Holy Father, after giving his hand to all to kiss, spoke of his pleasure at seeing such a large gathering representative of all parts of the States. The Pope said that no country had responded like America to his broadcast discourse. The letters and telegrams of satisfaction that came from the States after the message formed, said the Pope, "a real mountain." Not only Catholics, but non-Catholics and persons of every grade of society had sent him messages of appreciation, so that he felt great confidence that the message brought good to many minds and hearts.

News and Notes By authorising the resumption of his Cause, the Sacred Congregation of Rites has opened the way for the canonisation of Blessed John Bosco, founder of the Salesian Congregation. It is believed that his canonisation cannot now be long delayed, for since his beatification in May, 1929, numerous miracles worked through his intercession have been claimed. John Bosco was the son of a Piedmontese farmer. The family was extremely poor, but even as a boy, minding his father's flock, he used to dream of the immense work he eventually accomplished. He used to teach the catechism to other boys, and repeat sermons to them. He had but the barest schooling, yet he was determined to become a priest. He attained his object in spite of many, many rebuffs. In time he became a writer, scholar, professor, theologian, and preacher, and thousands of his spiritual sons and daughters are now working in churches, schools, and missions all over the world. This great apostolate was begun amongst a few boys in a shed. The 'work now has its centre in the Basilica of Our Lady Help of Christians, at Turin. That great basilica is but one monument to his courage: he started it when all he had in his pockets was fourpence. At his ordination, he prayed for a special favour—the efficacy of speech. When his body was exhumed a few years ago, his tongue and one of his lungs were intact. St. Anthony figured in the good fortune of at least two persons who entered the Dublin sweepstake. The ticket which drew Royal Arch II. was taken under the initials "S.A.G."—an abbreviation meaning "St. Anthony Guide," often used by Catholics. The holder of the ticket is Miss F.

London. * When children attend State schools parents should help them to learn their school lessons, and they should themselves teach the children their prayers and their catechism every day. Whether the children attend a Catholic school GT a State school (because they live away from a Catholic school), parents should have them to say their prayers morning and night. The Rosary—that beautiful loving prayer of thanks to God for having become a man for us—should be said in every home every night. and the children should repeat their decade as well as This prayer will teach the parents. the children that heaven is their true home, and to reach that home they must follow in he fooseps of Jesus and Mary. by leading lives of self-denial, goodness and purity."—Bishop McCarthy. at the Echuca branch of the I IA.C.B.S.

The University of the Sacred Heart in Milan has published a list of the subscriptions received from the Catholics of Italy in 1930. With creditable zeal the sum of 3,210,000 lire (approximately £35.000$ have been subscribed, which, in spite of the financial depression through which Italy, with all the world, is going, is 200,000 lire more than The Recwas subscribed last year. tor Magnificus is Father Agostino Gemelli, 0.F31., who is in the foremost ranks .of the teachers of Catholic The Holy Father, thought in Italy. who is tremendously interested in its success, has called the new University his "Benjamin."

Father Hogan, C.SS.R., of the Monastery, North Perth. They are staying at the King Edward Hostel. A striking example of the faith of the Catholic soldier was related in a lecture on "Catholic Truth in the Trenches," given at Stirling. England, by Rev. Dr. Stewart, of Fauldhouse, who served as a chaplain in the World War. When celebrating Mass in a little French church near the war zone, said Dr. Stewart, the enemy began shelling. Following the "Gloria," he turned to the soliders and said he intended to finish the Mass if at all possible, but he would not like to be responsible for keeping them there. He advised them to go and seek shelter in the places provided. Not a man left the church. All remained and risked their lives to be present at the Holy Sacrifice. Dr. Stewart spoke of the effect which Catholic truth and the work of the Catholic chaplains had on non-Catholics in the war, and said that, when Generals were remonstrated with for forbidding chaplains to go into the line with the men( some of them reluctantly stated that the prohibition did not apply to Catholic chaplains.

THE RECORD. mother. On his birthday he was in Birmingham addressing a meeting of Catholic mothers. The Cardinal was born at Clapham. His father was Mr. Henry Bourne, a convert and Principal Clerk in the Receiver General's Branch of the Post Office, and his mother a daughter of Mr. John Byrne, a Dublin merchant. Mr. Byrne was a pioneer in the co-operation movement, and a founder of the Civil Service Stores. In his father the Cardinal had a wonderful example of a man devoted to duty. His end came, in the early part of 1870, largely as a result of two years' toil, during which he refused to relax for a single day. Overcome with fatigue, but still trying to work, he fell from his seat in the Post He rallied, and was able to Office. go away to the East for a holiday, but soon after returning to England, he died. The future Cardinal was then 9 years. Mrs. Bourne lived for thirty years after her husband's death, and had the happiness of seeing her son become a Bishop. The Cardinal had two brothers, but both have long been dead, and His Eminence now has no near relatives living. The 700th. anniversary of the death of St. Elizabeth will be celebrated throughout Germany-notably at Eisenach. Thuringia,-where the saint spent the greater part of her life, which she devoted to charitable works, establishing hospitals and caring for the sick. The chief celebrations, "Cook's Travellers' Gazette" states, will take place every first Saturday and Sunday of the months of June to November, when the St. Elizabeth Festival Play and special Church services will be held. Arrangements will be made for special performances of the play for large groups of visitors at any desired time. • * • • The body of Blessed Philip Howard, Earl of Arundel, who died for the Faith in the Tower of London in 1505, has been exhumed in the FitzAlan Chapel.

The Golden Rose of Our Lady of Guadalupe
has not been presented to anyone for the past fifteen years. Ordinarily, the presentation of this honour is an annual occurrence. The rose is symbolic of the roses which miraculously grew in the desert soil at Hepayac, when Our Blessed Lady appeared to the Indian, Juan Diego. These roses were carried to the first Bishop of Mexico, Don Juan de Zumarraga, by the Indian who had gathered them up in his cloak-the same cloak upon which the miraculous image of Our Lady of Guadalupe is venerated today at the famous Mexican shrine. At the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe, roses are blessed after the Pontifical Mass on the 12th. of December every The fresh roses are then disyear. tributed to those who participate in the function. At the same time, a rose of pure beaten gold is blessed and sent to some person who has distinguished himself in a special way for the cause of Christ and His Church. This custom was jnstituted by King Ferdinand VI. when Mexico was still ruled by Spain. The recipients of the rose were then made members of the Royal Congregation of Our Lady of Guadalupe. After 1821, Augustine de Iturbide, Liberator of Mexico, instituted the Order of the Knights of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Those who are privileged to receive the Golden Rose are now made honorary members of this organisation. Many great personalities have been designated to receive the honour, such as Maria Barbara of Portugal. Isabel Farsenio, Queen of Spain, Phillip V. of Spain. Maria Teresa of France, and many Cardinals, Archbishops and Bishops.

Blessed Philip Howard EXAMINATION OF RELICS. "The Universe" reports the examination of the remains of Blessed Philip Howard, Earl of Arundel, at the FitzAlan Chapel. near Arundel Castle, the home of the Dukes of Norfolk. The investigation took place on January 9 last, for the purpose of authenticating the relics. When the wood and metal coffin was opened, the first point of interest the w atchers noticed, was that the relics included the martyr's skull. This fact disposed of the tradition recorded by Thomas Pennant ("Some Account of London," 1790) that ''the late great duchess procured the skull, had it encased in gold, and kept it to exalt her devotion as a relique." . The skeleton was not complete: some bones were given to members of the Howard family when the original coffin was opened about eighty years ago. No parchment or other document was found in the casket. The only records were the metal coffin plate affixed by the martyr's widow, the Countess Anne, to the original casket, when she took it to Arundel in 1624, and a plate certifying the transfer cf the relics to the present casket in 1847. Blessed Philip Howard died as a martyr for the Faith in the Tower of London on October 19, 1595. For 29 years his body remained at the Tower, but was eventually removed to the FitzAlan Chapel by his widow. The original brass on the coffin recorded a suspicion that the martyr had been poisoned. and this opinion is now widely held; but, naturally, this point could not now be verified or disproved. nscription on Coffin.

October 19, 1595. BLESSED PHILIP'S LIFE AND DEATH, Brilliant Career That Ended in Martyrdom. Blessed Philip Howard was one of the 136 English martyrs beatified at the end of 1929. He was born in London on June 28, 1557, the son of Thomas, fourth Duke of Norfolk, who was executed at the Tower of London for his share in the plot to enthrone Mary Queen of Scots, and grandson of Henry, Earl of Surrey, the famous poet, who was put to death—also at the Tower—by order of Henry VIII. He succeeded to the Earldom of Surrey at the age of 23, and soon reached the zenith of a brilliant career. Everything that the world could offer he possessed—rank, wealth, a magnificent personality, intellectual gifts, sturdy health and a noble wife and children; and he also enjoyed the favour of Queen Elizabeth. Court life, however, had a bad effect on him, for, with the Queen's encouragement he neglected both his family and his faith. But before long another change came over him, a very great change for the better. He lost the Quev's favour ,and enemies surrounded film; but he eplaced the loss of w orldly splendour with a deep attachment to his wife and his Church. E ventually he was forced to leave the country. He tried to escape to France, with his wife, but on the way across the Channel they were arrested. Philip was imprisoned in the Tower in 1585. and remained a prisoner till his death. When he was dying he asked the Queen to let him see his wife and the son who had been born shortly after his imprisonment. The Queen's answer was that, not only would his request be granted, but that he would be restored to her favour and his former estates and honours, if he would go but once to a Protestant service. This offer he refused. There has never been any uncertainty as to whether the martyr was beheaded or died in prison. After four years' imprisonment he was, on April 14, 1589, tried for treason and condemned to be hanged, drawn and quartered; but, contrary to recent statements, no date was ever fixed for his execution.
THIRTEEN
THE RECORD
Historical records state that Blessed Philip was buried, on the third day after his death, in the Chapel of St. Peter and Vineula at the Tower, in the grave in which, twenty-three years before, the body of his father had been interred. There it remained until 1624, twenty-nine years after his death. It was then conveyed to West Horsley, Surrey, the Countess of Arundel's seat. The remains were placed in the small iron coffin, and eventually taken to a vault prepared in the Lady Chapel of the FitzAlan Chapel. There the coffin must have remained until the year 1847. By that year, it would appear, the vault. owing to numerous interments, had become over-full, and it was decided to make a new vault in the centre of the chapel. At the same time, the casket was found to be decaying, and Canon Tierney, with due ecclesiastical authorisation, opened it, removed all the relics, and replaced them in a new casket--a wooden casket lined externally with copper—which was placed on the ledge upon which it rested until disturbed last January.

Pope Receives Young'People On St. Joseph's Day also the Pope received a group of sixty pupils of the Irish Christian Brothers' College of Marcantomio Colonna, who that morning had made their First Communion at the hands of Cardinal Marchetti Selvaggiani. In the afternoon the First Communicants of the Jesuit College "Massimo" were received by the Pope. They offered their savings to the Holy Father for the missions. TIES CATHOLIC MOMS, "Give and Take." What does that mean in the home? Well, no one is perfect, so we must not expect everyone to be perfect. All have faults. Some of them are very annoying to others. Children do not always think how annoying they can be to their parents, and brothers and sisters. It is quite a common thing for children to find out and make a lot of the faults of those around them, and forget all about their own nasty ways. It's all a one-sided business. That's most unfair. Then complaints are made, and quarrels begin, and the peace of the home is disturbed, and sometimes very badly spoiled. Sulks may last for days. If you give also take. When you know you are not perfect, and upset others by your faults, be ready to accept the faults of those with whom you live in a nice way. Don't let yourself get out of control. And never. never "keep it up." Be the first to make it up.
Which shows the stronger character--to keep up a quarrel, or to make up a quarrel?

THE SPECIAL REMEMBRANCE. It is in His Sacred Passion that Our Blessed Saviour specially desires to be remembered by us. It is as a memorial of His Death and Passion that the Blessed Eucharist is bequeathed to So was it revealed to St. Paul: us. "For as often as you shall eat this Bread and drink this Chalice, you shall show the Death of the Lord until He comes." (I. Cor., xi.)—Gallway, S.J. WHAT IT MEANS. A retreat is some realisation of the Platonic concept of an interval out of time. Time in retreat, as it were, stands still: the clock is stopped: that we may think how our time has been going and to what end. A man with no aim in life is like a passenger on the railway without ticket, and with no idea where he wants to go: you would take such a passenger for an idiot—Ricicaby, S.J.
—H. J H., in "N.Z. Tablet." WORDS OF WISDOM. we find that repose obedience In which is so necessary to souls who have a desire to serve God.—St. Therese. Men usually follow a plan of their own in judging others—the good Catholic leaves that to God. Sometimes we are foolish and identify our emotion with ourselves, and think that our moods are our character& A man who leads a common left under obedience is more to be esteemed than one who does great penance after his own will. The mole is a blind rat which always stays in the ground; it eats earth, and hollows it out, but is never satisfied with it; so is the avaricious man or woman. A buoyant word—a brief smile—a nod of glad recognition—all these things that do not interfere with attention to duty, are of large importance in making the lives of others more
bright
Fire cannot exist unless it has something to con,ame; so. too, charity and zeal for the glory of God expire if they are not nourished by sacrifice. He who wishes for anything but Christ does not know what he wishes; he who asks for anything but Christ, does not know what he is asking; he who works, and not for Christ, does not know what he is doing. THE SANCTUARY OF THE FAMILY. In the divine plan the family was intended to strve as a sanctuary where youthful inexperience might be saved from the peri: of the world. God intended that the gentleness of motherhood and the strength of fatherhood should be every hild's heritage, an admirably blended tuition designed to lead childhood along paths of "wisdom and age and grace." Husbands and wives in God's wisdom are also fathers and mothers. The grace of parenthood Imposes most serious obligations. In the person of fathers and mothers God has raised up natural protectors4or the support of helpless infancy. The solemn duties which husbands and wives owe to each other are not more sacred than the obligation shared equally by both in regard to the dependent lives for which the Creator has made them responsible. The weight of this obligation is not diminished as the infant advances to adolescence. At this critical age of growth and change the childish simplicity of life begins to depart. When life with its bewilderrnents unfolds before the eyes of a child, there should stand by the child's side a good father and mother to interpret the vision. Both father and mother are needed. Each has something to give which no other person can supply.

THE RECORD.
In the Foreign Mission Field
At Kanowna a few men have been winning out small leaders, and some dry-blowers are at work, while at Mid.gabbie and Kurnalpi 20 men are dryblowing and working leaders. Two bores were put down to locate a telluride vein for a Perth Syndicate, but the results were unsuccessful. At Bulong prospectors were engaged following the finding of two rich patches, but the general results were disappointing. At the 42-mile peg on the trans-line, three parcels crushed from a small quartz reef gave a return of loz. 14dwts. This is new ground, and requires sinking and At Mt. Monger, apart cross-cutting. from a rich patch obtained by Don and McLean at Sudden Jerk, and small, rich leaders in Creedon's paddock, the field has been very quiet on account of McMahon's Great Hope being shut down. At Ives two parties of tributers were at work on the Reward Lease, and one on the Junction and Clifton leases. The State mill had only one short run, but there is a considerable tonnage being Doyle got ready for the next run. and party are on good dirt on the 'dough lease. Larkinville produced some excellent slugs during the year, and became very prominent as an alluvial find. Clough and party opened up a quartz reef two miles south of the alluvial, which showed gold freely over a width of 2ft, for a length of 60ft., the compass bearing being 280. At Hampton Plains Hansen Bros. have been working the old Pernalty mine for several large parcels of ore, the average return from the lode being I4dwts. Ropes, skips, safety appliances were carefully examined by the Inspector during the year throughout these fields and districts, but it was found necessary to condemn only two ropes in the period.

The mineral tabulation totalled 80 tons of gypsum, recovered for a value of £1 per ton. The principal gold producers during February were from Golden Valley G.M.L. 2994, Radio, 51 tons for 135.68 fine ors., and Psospg. Area 1954 (Flynn, J. J.), 11.75 tons for 15.64 fine cas.

Interest in gold mining throughout the whole field was more pronounced during the month, and from Toohey's Hills, in the south, to Pigeon Rocks, in the north, prospectors are active. A number have gained encouraging results, and are now engaged in proving the ground. At Westonia the battery has started treating ore at grass, and at Marda it is being re-conditioned ready for crushing at an early date. A lot of ore is broken and awaiting treatment. This battery has been idle for some years.

The main bout of the evening was one cf 10 rounds, between Joe Moore (9.7) and Kid McClure (9.8). It was a good fight, the former holding a slight readvantage throughout to obtain the feree's decision at the conclusion. Over four rounds Jimmy Wilde (7.12) out-pointed McReid (8.2). It was not as good an exhibition as the other bout. Ernie Bender (8.10) was too good for Jim Owens (9.7), whom he belted all around the ring. Owens stood up wit all gamely, but in the third round Dr. Kenny stopped the fight, awarding Bender the verdict. A much disputed bout was that between Reg Bender (8.12) and Young R imrner (9.10). It was an excellent contest, Rimmer showing himself to 'be the better man, but to the surprise of everybody, a draw was the referee's decision. Sailor Farrell (9.6) and Jim Lindsay ( 9.9) staged an even contest. This also ended in a draw. As a curtain raiser to the big event, Dinnv Hull (8.13) fought Jack Lynch (9.0) over six rounds. It was a splendid bout, ending in a victory for Hull. The crowd resented the decision strongly. Dr. J. Kenny refereed all of the contests, and did his work well.

If only the shamrock had come, mail delivery and then she would see and she had the feel of it in her fingers what St. Patrick might send her. But and the smell of it in her nostrils—the one thing was sure in her mind— smell of home and Ireland—she would whether her shamrock arrived or not be happy as a young lamb in May. so she would climb to the top shelf of her she would.

many of the old neighbours around that section, and what a dish of talk they would be having! Maybe there wouldn't be a fur coat amongst them all, but, sure, God knows their warm hearts needed little artificial heating. Mrs. Callahan fell asleep in the middle of her Litany, "Gate of Heaven, pray for us; Morning Star, pray for us." Again a dream of her childhood radiated the old woman's deep slumbers. She stood by the well of Tubbermore on the eve of St. Patrick's Day, and with her were Martin, her brother, and Michael Callahan. The boys had found a young hedgehog with its spikes sticking up in full martial array. Martin decided the proper thing to do with such a great piece of fortune was to deposit it in Master Daly's desk the next day in school. "He'll be poking his hand in there after the rod the first thing when he comes in," said Martin, "and this is what he'll grab hold of." "No," cried Michael with the acquired memory of many such leatherings strong within him, "the master will only beat every one of us then so to make sure he won't miss the right one. But I saw the 'granage' first anyhow, so give it to me. I'll put it in the long beggarman's bag when he comeS by to-morrow, and never a know he'll know till he reaches in for a few potatoes or a piece of bread." Martin had no more love for the long beggarman than Michael had, for that wandering scholar had an unholy passion for ranging up the youths of the neighbourhood before him to test their knowledge of the catechism, and to spell such terrible words as Constantinople and such three deckers that a body forgot the first letter before halfway through Still, on account of old scores, it would be grand to see the master's face when he caught hold of those fine quills. "He won't be needing a new pen for a long time after that." said the boys, "and his hands will be too sore for much welting of us." As the debate hotly proceeded. Mary, with her love for all small defenceless things, whipped off her pinafore, wrapped it around the "granoge,"and took to her long legs. How she could run in those days! It would take a hare to catch her! Over hedges and ditches she tore with her prize held close, un. heeding the spikes that were piercing through her linsey frock, with a wild whoop of triumph she hurled it at last into a clump of furze where the boys would not dare follow in their bare feet to retrieve it Michael had pulled her hair, and Martin, with a brother's privilege of inflicting proper punishment, threw her into Kelly's pond, where a settlement of young frogs nearly burst themselves in pieces with clamorous protest. Poor Mary had run home wailing like a banshee, "bib" in "flitthers" and frog spawn wrapping her around like a green garment. Her mother, God rest her soul, had to soak her in the wash-tub for nearly a full hour to get her clean again, and then it was off to bed she was packed. though the sun was high in the sky, and more fun going on around the village than she might have again for many a long day. Not a drop of rain was falling when Mrs. Callaghan awoke on the morning of St. Ptrick's Day. A broad beam of sunny light fell across her face as she pulled up the Hind of her window. "It is a grand day, glory be to God!" she thought, "and something tells me that Ireland's friend in heaven hasn't forgotten me.So sure was she of this that she would not look out in

the hall to see if the familiar green hox. was awaiting her. With her treasured bonnet on her head, its wide bows frilled out under her chin, her second best coat on her back (not the fur one), and comfortable high shoes on her feet, Mrs. Callahan sallied from her room to get a drop of coffee from Lily, the cook, before setting out to Mass down town. As she entered the hall her heart sank a bit, for there was no green box on the table. Murmuring a "Hail Mary," she opened the dining-room door on her way to the kitchen, and then she stood still as the very Rock of Cashel itself. John and Kitty were seated at the table, and Martin, her brother-or could it be himself was in it? —with a girl beside him looking the very image of her own mother long ago, Was she still asleep and dreaming, or was she out of her senses altogether! Then Mary Callahan's eyes rested on a big pot of shamrocks in the middle of the table—shamrocks green and fresh as ever she had seen them in Tubbermore, standing up straight as darts were some of them, and others curling down the side like baby fingers reaching out to grasp your own. A mist came before the old woman's eyes, and she sank into the nearest chair. "Glory be to St. Patrick!" she whispered, "it can't be, surely, shamrocks and Martin!" Kitty and John had their arms around her now, while Martin was holding her hands, and the girl—it must be his granddaughter, Eily—laughing and crying together. In the doorway, Lily, the cook, was standing with the coffee pot in her hands, a happy smile on her dark face. One Bronx apartment, at least, this morning was filled to bursting with undiluted joy. But beyond the faces about her, Mrs. Callahan's eyes were fixed on the pot of shamrocks. "Fr= Tubbermore they must be." she whispered—"from Tubbermore." "Indeed they are from Tubberrnore, Mary, alanna," answered Martin. "And where else could, we be after getting them for you! A whole month they're growing for you now, ever since Eily and myself made up our minds to come out here and give you the surprise of your life on St. Patrick's Day. Sure, we have no one in the world but yourself and John and Kitty here. So it was off to America with the both of us, and a load of the greenest shamrocks that ever grew by Tubbermore.“ Mrs. Callahan sighed happily. "I was a wicked woman to ever doubt that St. Patrick would leave me withcut a sprig of the blessed plant to help me say my prayers by on his own great day," she said.

Two Middle-aged city men met at the club after being out of touch with each other for some years. "Why, Dodson," exclaimed one, "arc you still a bachelor?" "Yes," was the reply. "Necessity or choice?" "Both! My necessity; her choice!" She was getting very bored with the young man, who fancied himself far too much for her liking. "I'm a bit of a thought-reader," he said. "I can tell.. what you're thinking at this very moment!" "Can you?" she replied, sweetly. "Then why don't you go there?"
