NEWS FROM IRELAND—

THE LATE Mr. T. M. HEALY, K.C. His Requiem and an Appreciation

Mr. Timothy Michael Healy, K.C., the first Governor-General of the Irish Free State, was buried in Glasnevin Cemetery after Requiem Mass had been celebrated by Father P. Morrissey, in the Dublin Pro-Cathedral. The Archbishop of Dublin presided at the Mass, and the King was represented by the Earl of Granard. His Majesty sent the following telegram to the Viceregal Lodge: "I have learned with sincere regret of the death of Mr. Healy. As the first Governor-General of the Irish Free State he fully justified the confidence I reposed in him, and his loss, I know, will be greatly felt by his fellow-countrymen. Please assure the members of his family how much the Queen and I sympathise with them in their sorrow.—George R.I." The funeral was a private one, although a distinguished congregation, including President Cosgrave and his Ministers, was at the Requiem lass.

greatly gifted and so intensely human could have accomplished so little through the failings of his genius. But in later years the surprise was rather that the same "Tim" Healy, with his inability either to lead a party or to serve in one, should have exercised such immensely helpful influence in establishing the new Ireland. Parnell recognised at once the extraordinary abilities of the very young man whose gifts of speech and of writing, combined with an uncanny shrewdness and invincible tenacity and cow, age, made him immediately one of the most formidable figures both in the House of Commons and in the Land League. "Tim" became the unpaid secretary of his Chief, but soon quarrelled with him, though not openly at first. • When the Parnell split came, he gave full vent to the resentment which he had felt under Parnell's arrogance, and to his genuine sense of outrage at Parnell's determination to defy the moral standards of Catholic Ireland.

Military Missions mpressive Scenes. I The annual Army missions, held last month, were concluded in Portobello Barracks, McKee Barracks, and Arbour Hill. The General Holy Communion in the various military churches was attended by over 2.000 officers, N.C.O.'s and men. Impressive scenes marked the closing of the mission in Portobello Church. The troops paraded under the O.C. Dublin District at 10.30 a.m. for the solemn concluding exercises. No. 1 Army Band, conducted by Lieut. J. Doyle, attended the parade. In an impressive address, Rev. M. Garahy, SJ , urged all present to be faithful to their good resolutions and to attend the monthly Sodality meetings regularly. Rev. R. J. Casey, C.F., gave the Benediction, a full military guard of honour being supplied by the 2nd. Infantry Battalion under Capt. E. Prendergast. while a fanfare of trumpets sounded the general salute. At the conclusion, the band played hymns, including "Hail, Glorious St. Patrick," and "Faith of Our Fathers." There were also impressive scenes at the military church of the Sacred Heart, Arbour Hill. The troops from Collins Barracks, Island Bridge Bar. racks, and St. Bricin's Hospital paraded at 10 am.

CO. SLIGO'S NEW CHURCH Most Rev. Dr. Naughton. Bishop of Killala, souemnly dedicated the new church at Rathlee. Co. Sligo, on March 25, in presence of a large congregation. The church, which is named Ecclesia Stella Mans, is built on the border of t wo townlands—Carronrush and Rathlee, and is of Gothic architecture. Rev. P. Maloney, C.C., said that wherever there were souls of men there by right was the one and all-embracing Church—the law, the security, and stability of the Church of Christ, which was founded upon a rock. As the Blessed Virgin was part of the dispen sation of the Incarnation, so she was part of the holy influences that hallow. ed a church.

Tuam Convent Fire Damage to the extent of several thousand pounds was caused by a fire in the Convent of Mercy, Tuam. Finding the ceiling in a dormitory afire, a Sister notified an electricity station nearby.

a lawyer he attained a position at the Irish Bar which only O'Connell had equalled. He accepted with reluctance the obligations of living in state at the Viceregal Lodge; but his five years of office mellowed him and made him more inclined to make friends than enemies. No worldly honour pleased him more than his election as Treasurer of Gray's Inn. His last years have been passed peacefully in his home outside Dublin, devoting himself to his books and to his prayers. LATE MR. T. M. HEALY'S LAST MESSAGE. A farewell message (says the London correspondent of the "Irish Independent") from the late Mr. Healy to the congregation of Corpus Christi Church, Maiden Lane, London, was delivered recently by the Rev. John Hannon, S.J., in opening the Holy Week Mission. It was given to him, he said, when visiting Mr. Healy the previous Sunday, and it was in the form of request that he should be remembered to them and that they should remember him in the prayers they offered up in the church he loved so well. The congregation. deeply moved, joined in a prayer for the repose of Mr. Healy's soul. Father Hannon recalled that Mr. Healy, when living in London. was a frequent communicant in Maiden Lane, and every year joined in all the exercises of Holy Week Mission. In recent years, Father Hannon continued, he had on the Sundays and holidays celebrated Mass in the Oratory in Mr. llealy's house, and many a time he had seen Mr. Ilealy's great big eyes fill with tears as he received Holy Communion. He had a most intense, simple. and sincere love of Christ, which influenced him in all he did. His political greatness did not prevent him from realising that the things of politics did not count compared with the value of God's truth and the first principles of religion. Mr. Healy's mordaunt tongue had become a byword in political circles, but he (Father Hannon), as a priest, knew as few others could guess, how deeply the Passion of Christ moved the man's heart. "Some time ago," said Father Hannon, "he told me he had only two months to live, and he said, 'I don't mind one bit.' I asked him if he was suffering, and he replied, 'It is not right to complain, but if I were permitted to complain, I should say I w ' when the time came for hin • meet Our Lord, Whom hr much, he went without a trein. effect except on the ground floor. Th. main part of the fire, however, was on the roof of the dormitories overhead, and here the Gardai and civilians con centrated on bringing buckets of water up ladders, and endeavoured to check the fire from spreading. The Gardai and tradesmen who had been re-roofing the Cathedral, succeeded in cutting oil the burning roof about 10 feet from the nearest portion of the fire, thus priventing the fire from spreading t. , t he long block of buildings on either side, whilst the hose helped to kecp the fire in check beneath. The Gil! way Fire Brigade arrived in about 4.; minutes, and had the fire under control n about half an hour. About 130 girl ,arders sleep in the dormitories wh • 'he fire broke out. Four dor.

mitories, two of the nuns' rooms, the laundry, and the schoolroom were gutted, while a large quantity of furniture, clothing, and machinery was de-,rnyed.

Dean of Cashell and Duty of the People -Right Rev. Monsignor Dean Ryan,

P.P., V.G., speaking in the Parish Church, Cashel. expressed the sorrow and shame of the people at the murder of Superintendent Curtin, and asked for prayers for the repose of the soul of the murdered martyr to duty. The crime of crimes, he said the one that has made men's blood grow cold from the beginning of the world till now, the murder of a God-given life, is now, in many quarters, treated as a manly method of defence or revenge, and even amongst those who would shudder at the committal of the crime, you will find weak-kneed poltroons to excuse or palliate, if not to encourage the shedding of innocent blood, though they know well it cries to heaven for vengeance. "Well may we ask," he continued, "Where are we heading for? We know God is not mocked; yet he is mocked, by the violation of His Commandments. Vengeance is mine says the Lord. We should ask the Lord to spare His people. But the people must do their duty. All classes, all creeds, all political parties should denounce crime, do their best to bring the criminal to justice, and help those in power to maintain peace for Ireland's sake, for God's sake. God dwells in peace."

Communists and American Youth congressman Hits Their Anti-Religious Activity The forbidding character of Communism in the United States was pointed out by Representative Bachmann, a member of the committee which recently investigated Communist activities in the United States, in an address before the House of Representatives. Stressing especially Communist educational activities, he explained that it is carried on through the Young Pioneers of America and the Young ComThe membership of munist League. the former includes children from 8 The league membership conto 15. sists of youths from 15 to 23. At the latter age they become members of the Communist party. A ctivities of these two organisations, Representative Bachmann said, are carried on even "within the high schools' They are directed of the country. mainly to the teaching of hatred for American institutions and hatred of r eligion. "Communists," said Mr. Bachmann, -do not believe in God. In Russia the penalty for teaching the existence of God to anyone under 18 years of age is Teachers in imprisonment or death. the schools must teach the children a theism or lose their positions. -That the Communist attack on re-

ligion is spreading in this country is apparent. It is an ingrained part of the Communist political plan. The Soviet commisar of education, in speaking of religion recently said: "Christians teach love and compassion, which is contrary to our convictions; down with love of our neighbors; what we preach is a gospel of hate.' "All Communists are atheists, whether they live in Moscow, Berlin, Paris, They may London, or New York. not be baptised, merried, or buried The Comwith religious ceremonies. munist must not only be without religion; he must be anti-religious. "The most tragic and appalling situation in Soviet Russia is the fact that many millions of young children attending the public schools are taught each day hatred of the conception of God and of all religious faith and beliefs. "In this connection it is interesting to note that a number of Communists when summoned before our committee in New York, Seattle, San Francisco, and other cities, declined to take an oath, stating they did not believe in a Supreme Being, and would only testify on affirmation."

THE POPE ON ENGLAND Cordial Reception for Non-Catholic Visitors The Holy Father paid high honour recently to a gathering of English people, mostly non-Catholics. These were members of the Friends of Italy Society, headed by the Mayors of Bath, Colchester, and Dorchester, at present on a visit to Italy. The Holy Father read to them a specially prepared address, which the "Osservatore Romano" later published in full in English. The visitors were greatly impressed by the special kindness of the Holy Father, and at the close the Mayor of Bath begged His Holiness to give them all his blessing. The party was introduced by Mr. Ogilvie Forbes and Mgr. Godfrey, Rector of the Venerabile. The Holy Father said that there was always a welcome for children to the Souse of their father. From whatever part they came all had a right to his affection: but those present at that audience had a special claim on His affection, since they were persons who understood well and wisely the purpose ef their visit, zealous admirers as they w ere of the memories and relics of Rome, of those ancient monuments still extant both in Italy and in England. which latter were so intimately related to those in Rome. It teas, in fact, the triperor Claudius in the person of his generals and legionaries who was the first author of those Anglo-Roman monuments which the Holy Father himself in person had been able to admire in his travels. The Pope then referred to the ancitat Roman city of Bath and to its !Mayor, whose culture and whose merits me the cause of public education were well known to him. He was especially interested, being an old librarian himself, in what the Mayor had done f or library work in England. T he Holy Father then referred to the early connections between Rome and England. In the opinion of experts there was some probability, true 4111Y a probability, that the Apostle of The Gentiles himself, St. Paul, preached The gospel there. Although the probability of this is not excluded, there is en the other hand the certainty that among the first Romans who landed I the British Isles, and, not only I among the ordinary soldiers, but among those who stood by the side of the leaders, were to be found followers of Christ. They could well understand how glad

the Pope was to see them and to greet them during that sojourn in which they had seen not the successors of their conquerors, but the successor of those Pontiffs who had so much solicitude for England and had so diligently cared for its destiny and conferred on her the great benefit of Christian civilisation, not by a conquest but by the communication of benefits that were incomparably important, both for individual and social life, and the beginning of so splendid a promise, which was to be followed by so long and glorious a future. The Holy Father then wished the visitors a very happy and profitable stay in Rome, where they would be able to reap a great harvest of that knowledge to which they were so devoted and of which they were such worthy cultivators.—"The Universe"

BRISTOL'S

rTORY

The Port of Bristol—which in these days includes not only the City Docks but also the larger rivermoutb docks at Avonmouth and Portishead—has a history extending back over two thousand years. It was the terminal place of barter for the Phoenician traders, and afterwards of their successors the navigators of old Rome. In the days of the early Saxon kings, and for cea. turies, the Port of Bristol was second in importance only to that of London itself. It was from Bristol, in May, 1497, that John Cabot and his son Sebastian, with a company of Bristol sailors, set sail from Bristol in the good ship "Mathew," under letters patent from King Henry VII. On June 24 of the same year, they landed on the Continent of America, hitherto undiscovered, and planted the flag of England upon the new territory, which they claimed for the King. John Washington, ancestor of George Washington, when sailing for America, embarked at Bristol has it. the Port of Bristol. mained the market and distributing centre for grain, provisions and other goods for the West of England and, under the enterprising management of the city authorities, the port has developed other important departments of industry. The official handbook for 1931 gives a voluminous account of the subject, with numerous illustatiozis ani coloured maps and plans.—Thos. Cooks Travellers' Gazette.

Some of the letters are very interesting, and it is a pleasure to read them all. Now, I am going to try to get as many as possible in this week, but if any are held over, owing to lack of space, you must forgive me, as they will be sure to appear in the next week's issue. The short days are the You see the evendays for writing. ings are so long, and letter writing helps to .pass them away. It is hard on a delightful summer evening to spend the time in writing letters, when out-of-doors is calling to you to come and play. The sun and showers of the last few days will soon bring up the green grass, wild flowers, and last, but not least, mushrooms. I wonder how many of you like mushrooms and go mushrooming. Be careful when picking mushrooms, that you do not pick up a poisonous fungus instead. Remember mushrooms have thick stems and are a nice pink, fleshy colour underneath. Even if you do not care for mushrooms, there is fun to be had in picking them, and passing them on to someone who does like them. Look out for snakes when gathering mushrooms in sviampy places.

I am ten years of age, and in the fourth class at school. I like reading your Corner and trying to work the puzzles out. I am sending some in, but do not know if all are right. This is only going to be a short letter, but I will write again.-s-Your would-be-niece, PEGGY O'NEIL. Dear Peggy,—Your name made me think of the song, "Peggy O'Neil." Do you know it? Are your eyes blue? "If her eyes are blue ae skies, That's Peggy O'Neil. If she's smiling all the while, That's Peggy O'Neil." You are one of the Cornerites now. Look under the list of new nieces and nephews, and you will see your name there. Some of your answers to the puzzles were wrong, but try again. AUNT BESSY.

Conway-street, Geraldton. Dear Aunt Bessy.—I am writing to thank you for that lovely piece of poetry you put in "The Record" for me. I think it was so nice, and I thank you very much. We are having a Mission here at present. It is for t wo weeks, and one week has gone. The children only nad one week. I am sorry ours is over. The two missioners are very nice. They are Fathers Mitchell and Cosgrove. Do you know I suppose you them, Aunt Bessy? do, as they were in Perth. It is terribly hot here to-day, quite different from last Sunday, when it rained the whole day long, and we could not go to But a bit of tennis or anywhere. rain does us good, and improves our tempers, I think, as we are always growling about the heat. I have been trying to work out the puzzles in "The Rci ord." I got some of them out, but have got stuck with the rest. In my last letter I don't think I told you that my sister thanked you for the birthday greetings you sent to her. I don't know why, but a lot of people think y ou are a man, but I don't, as I don't think a man could write such nice things. And, another thing, I don't think he would be bothered answering a lot of letters from a lot of girls and boys, and he wouldn't have a girl's name. So I think you are a woman. Does the Editor ever grumble at you for taking up room in "The Record?' If he does, I had better stop writing, had I not Aunty? Well, with tons of love, I will close.—Your loving niece, KATHLEEN TINDAL. Dear Kathleen,—Yes: I saw the two missioners in Perth, and I also would have liked the Mission to have lasted longer than it did; but we must not be selfish, as they have many other places to visit. It is raining here today, Kathleen, and the lines of a poem keep flashing through my memory, so I pass them on to you: "I see the lights of the village, gleam through the mist and rain, And a feeling of sadness comes o'er me, that is near akin to pain. A feeling of sadness and longing, that the mind cannot resist, That resembles sorrow only, as the rain resembles the mist." I remember as well as yesterday, that we had this poem to learn at our Convent in Brisbane, and my school-mate, who is now a Sister, did not care for it, and whispered to me: "Don't you think the author must have had a bad fit of indigestion' troubling him when he wrote this, and wrote this to pass his feelings on the World at large." Well, Kathleen. I laughed, and so did she, with the result that we had a hundred lines each to do after school hours. No, the Editor does not grumble much. Unlike most men, he is rather sweet tempered, so keep on writing. New, as I was a boarder in a convent until I

Her devotion to the Holy Souls, and particularly, in later years, her untiring efforts to spread the cultus of "The Little Flower," will long be associated with her memory.

THE MONTH OF MARY ( Written for

Saturday. May 9, 1931.

THE RECORD.

EIGHT

The Record," by Rev. Father William, Benedictine Monk, of New 11Porcia.)

I . ' It is by antonomasia the month of May. The whole month is dedicated to Mary, whose shrine, bedecked with flowers from dale and garden, draws millions of Catholic hearts to her. May devotion ,in its present form, originated in a Jesuit college in Rome, no later than the 18th century. From Rome the devotion spread to other Jesuit Colleges, and thence to the Catholic world. Why the month of May should be so closely associated with devotion to Mary we will briefly explain. In Southern European countries May is the month of flowers. It is the time when Nature awakes to new life and puts in her variegated mantle with all the tints or hues of the flowers of Spring. The natural beauty of this month is poetically, yet simply, set forth in Longfellow's poem—"It is not always May": . . . All things are new: the buds the leaves, That gild the elm tree's nodding crest, And even the nest beneath the eaves„ There are no birds in last year's nest. Maiden that read'st this simple rhyme. Enjoy thy youth, it will not stay: Enjoy the fragrance of thy prime. For oh, it is not always May. It is this idea of beauty- so fully and naturally associated with the month of May that has made of it a suitable month to be dedicated to Mary. The natural beauty of May is true, of course, of the European countries above mentioned, although here in Australia May is by no means lacking in flowers: and so we also, in union with our European Catholic brethren, have chosen May as one of the fairest of our Australian months to be dedicated to our sweetest Mother. Flowers are the expression of virtue. Well, then, can their number and variety, in this month, indicate Mary's great and varied sanctity. For She is the lily of purity, the hidden lily of the valley, the poinsethia or scarlet flower of charity, the purple verbena, of mortification, the cedar tree of fortitude. She has the vision of the prophets, the zeal of the Apostles. the faith and constancy of the martyrs, the prudence of confessors, the chastity of virgins. All these flowers or virtues of Mary, collectively or individually, possess some or other characteristic which appeal most irresistibly to the Catholic heart. To some all these virtues combined together like the full vista of a mighty garden, will appeal most forcibly. To others only one flower of Mary's life, like the lonely water-lily in a secluded pond of the park, is in itself inspiring. But, whether collectively or individually. Mary's virtues are an inspiration to Great geniuses great and little minds and little ones alike have all drawn from Mary. and drawn abundantly, consolation, inspiration, and love. The writings of St. Bernard, as well as those of St. Anselm, become overflowing rivers of honey when Mary's name is there. In "Dante s Paradise" there is nothing more poetical than his vision of the heavenly Queen as She is shown to him by St. Bernard. his guide. Even the canvas turns into a living reality when a master hand, such as that of Raphael, Michael Angelo. or Murrill°. paints Mary upon it. The most sublime masterpieces of Philosophy and Theology, like those of St. Thomas and Suarez, have been inspired by her beauty. St. Alphonsus' Moral Theology was written at the foot of the Crucifix, and before a picture of Mary. Her glories, in a word, were sung by the bards of Ireland, the minstrels Of Britain, the romances of Spain, and the troubadours Of Provence. But not only saints and great men, poor sinners and humble people also have felt Mary's wonderful influence in them St. (lenient Offbaner, upon the recitation of the Rosary, converted to Jesus many a dying sinner. Among the ranks of the priesthood, or in the lonely cell of many a convent or monastery, there exist many a priest and religious people unknown, yes, to the world, but, oh. well known to the dearest of Mothers, to whom they awe their vocation. There, within the Christtian home, in spite of depressing poverty, love and peace reign supreme on account of the Queen of these virtues, whose image hangs in a conspicuous place in the home. Little Bernadette. although a poor and simple girl, yet there was no more privileged Child • Mary than her in the 19th. century No matter of what age and condition, whether wise or ignorant, rich or poor, all have been seized with the sweetest transports of pleasure and repose in presence of Mary, for She is the per-

umed garden whose number and variety of flowers make it delightful be_.ond measure. Although the flowers of Mary's gar, den are all chosen ones, yet there is one which is the choicest of all. It is Mary, as the Divine Motherhood. above said, is the lily of purity, the rose of original beauty, the violet of humility, the. poinsettia of charity, the verbena of mortification, the tree of fortitude, etc But, above all, she is the Mother of God This is the best name awl the greatest honour ofclgary. Mary is a great select. Yet her sanctity is not the the cause of her Divine Motherhood. Rather the contrary. Her Divine Motherhood accounts for all her sanctity. She is first Mother of God. and then any other holy title. Or to say it in Abbot Vonnier's words: "Mary is the Divine Mother to whom sanctity has been granted as a necessary complement." This truth can be better illustrated by an immense garden where numerous and varied flowers grow. The flower of Mary's Divine Motherhood grows in the centre of this garden. It is the loftiest, the prettiest, and the brightest of all flowers. Her other virtues are the mass of flowers that surround the centre one. UILet Catholics prostrate themselves before Mary's altar during the month of May. Let millions of tongues praise all her virtues. Let pious hands cull the rarest and fairest of flowers in garden or ale. But let no tongue forget to praise, nor hand to gather, the flower of Mary's Divine Motherhood, and let it stand' conspicuously among the flowers, the clouds of incense, and miriails of lighted candles which surround her image in this month.

Outstanding Programme Marks Second Week of Prosperity Month of May Ca— Make-up as an art in cu., acterisation is brought to its highest perfection by Edmund Lowe in the dual role he portrays in "Scotland Yard," Fox Movietone drama of the efficiency of the world's greatest criminal hunters, which heads the second programme of Hoyts Prosperity Month of May Campaign at the Regent Theatre on Saturday. As Sir John Lasher, in the picture, Lowe portrays his usual polished gentleman of the world. But as "Dakin Barolles," England's most feared bank robber, he must assume the facial disguise and the subtle character nuances of the underworld. The first day Lowe appeared on the set in his new make-up, he was not recognised by a single member of the cast or technical crew working on the picture, except Howard, the director, who had dictated the character the make-up artists were to copy. The intensely human story involves the struggle of an underworld character to resociety. decent sume his place in Through the mistake of a plastic surgeon, who rebuilds his face after it had been mangled in battle, Barrolles, the criminal, is made to appear exactly like Sir John Lasher.

That is the dramatic climax of the situation in which he finds Joan Bennett, as Xandra, himself. the wife of Sir John Lasher, heads the distinguished cast seen in support. These include Barbara Leonard, Donald Crisp, Lumsden Flare, David Torrence. and Bothwell Hobbes.

The Month of May, the Month of Mary G Glorious Lady, throned on high Above the star-illumined sky; Thereto ordained, thy bosom lent To thy Creator nourishment. Through thy sweet Offspring we receive The bliss once lost through hapless Eve; And heaven to mortals open lies Now thou art Portal of the skies. Thou art the Door of heaven's high King, Light's Gateway fair and glistening; Life through a Virgin is restored; Ye ransomed nations, praise the Lord. Mother of grace, 0 Mary blest, To thee, sweet fount of love, we fly; Shield us through life, and take us hence To thy dear bosom when we die. • • During this month of May, Mary's own sweet month, may our sentiments to her be always those expressed in those beautiful lines of the hymn in her Common Office. "0 Gloriosa Virginum." To us her children She is that Glorious Lady, throned on high as Queen of Heaven. On that distant day that hapless Eve listened to the whisperings of pride, and forfeited for us our inheritance to an eternity of bliss, there came from Heaven words of hope when salvation was promised through a woman who would come forth as the morning rising, fair as the moon, bright as the sun, terrible as an army in battle array. We know the touching story of its fulfilment, and to-day we look to her as the Portal of the skies, the Door of Heaven, Light's Gateway fair and glistening. We honour her under many titles. but surely none is dearer to her than that of Holy Mary.

Even the canvas turns into a living reality when a master hand, such as that of Raphael, Michael Angelo. or Martino. paints Mary upon it. The most sublime masterpieces of Philosophy and Theology, like those of St. Thomas and Suarez. have been inspired by her beauty. St. Alphonsus' Moral Theology was written at the foot of the Crucifix, and before a picture of Mary. Her glories, in a word, were sung by the bards of Ireland. the minstrels Of Britain, the romances of Spain. and the troubadours of Provence. But not only saints and great men. poor sinners and humble people also have felt Mary's wonderful influence in them. St. Clement Offbaner, upon the recitation of the Rotary, converted to Jesus many a dying sinner.

For forty days after His Resurrection, Jesus remained on earth to comfort and teach His Apostles. Into their troubled souls, souls that had been oppressed with doubts and fears and despondency, He breathed peace and courage. He, their glorious Risen Lord, showed them by numerous marks of tender affection that He was still the Good Shepherd, as easy to approach, as interested in each one of them, as eager for their welfare as when He first called them to Him But the day came when they were to lose His dear visible presence. Gathering His Apostles about Hint for the last time, in the memorable Supper room in Jerusalem, He impressed upon them the lesson that He had repeated so often— faith and trust. Then, going out with them to Mount Olivet. He blessed them, and while they looked on He was raised up. and a cloud received Him out of their sight." He had left His own—but He had gone to prepare a place for them. He had left this earth of ours and yet He is still with us. We do not hear His blessed footfall as He goes through the highways and byways seeking souls: we canot see His Sacred Face, nor does the sound of His Voice fall on our ears. Yet He is as truly present as wtien He walked in Galilee—Jesus Christ Who is "the same yesterday, to-day, and forever." Kneeling before the Tabernacle, we catch those words of His that have come echoing down the centuries: "I am Risen, and am still with thee." "Blessed are they that have not seen and have believed." "Peace be to you. It is I. Fear not." "Come to me all you that labour and are heavily burdened, and J will refresh you." "I will not crush the bruised reed, nor spurn the sorrowing spirit. Ask and you shall receive." "A little wkhile and shall not see Me, and again a little while and you shall see Me; and your heart shall rejoice and your joy no man shall take from you." WM

The Introit tells of the longings of the Church to behold Film: "I have sought Thy Face! I will seek Thy Face, 0 Lord; turn not Thy Face from me." In the Epistle the Prince of the Apostles teaches us how to prepare for the coming of the Holy Ghost. "Be prudent and watch in prayers. But before all things have a constant. mutual charity among yourselves." The Gospel tells us in Our Lord's on words the effects which the coining of the Holy Spirit will produce in our souls. "When the Paraclete (i.e., the Comforter) cometh. Whom I will send you from the Father. He shall give testimony of Me.- and, as a result, "you shall give testimony." Jesus warned them that they should have to suffer for His Name's sake, but the Holy Ghost would strengthen and support them. ''The Holy Ghost. Who is He? True and Eternal God. One only, however, of the Three Divine Persons. The last of the Three in order, but all co-equal. Of Whom many marvellous distinctive things have been revealed, Who manifests a peculiar love of ourselves, proper to Himself, and shown in His own way. Who has been mixed up sweetly with our HITS since childhood, Who is actually dwelling in us at this moment, over and above the omnipresence of God—quite distinct from the dwelling of the Blessed Sacrament within us. yet only to be paralleled by that —all unions with Jesus are completed in Him and by Him." We have received Him in Confirmation, but the working of the 'Holy Ghost shows itself in proportion to the reverence given Him. "He alone can .prepare the heart for His own coming. He alone can prepare in us a welcome worthy of Himself. -Come. 0 Holy Ghost, fill the hearts of the faithful and enkindle in them the Ere of Thy love."

From the Vatican City State Gregorian Chant. The latest number of the "Acta Apostolicae Sedis" publishes a decree of the Holy See which contains a significant gesture regarding Church Music. For the sake of good example to the rest of the world, it is decreed that in future whenever a Cardinal pontificates in Rome the liturgical music is to be Gregorian Chant and that whenever any other form of chant (cantus) is used it must be unaccompanied (solis vocibus). This action on the part of the Holy See is a further indication of the Holy Father's determination to give practical effect to his constitution of December, 1928, which declares that the Gregorian Chant must take first place in the music of the Church, that liturgical singing must be restored to popular use by the faithful, and that the human voice, unaccompanied, is the best mode of praising God in liturgical functions and that the organ, if used, should not predominate or oppress the human voice. Pius X. concluded his Motu Proprio on Church Music by appealing to the loyal obedience of the clergy and the faithful "in order that the authority of the Holy See may not fall into contempt." He speaks also of the necessity of overcoming the prejudices arising from the The present love of secular music. Holy Father concludes his constitution by encouraging those in authority to brave the obstacles which they must meet while endeavouring to restore the ancient traditonal chant to popular use Priests for Australia.

The First Commandment joins two laws, the one forbidding false worship, the other idolatry. This moves the other Commandments up one number. The Ninth and Tenth Commandments separate the sins of desire. The other numbering finds a foundation in the works of Joseph Flavius and other writers. It separates the First Commandment into two, but joins the Ninth and Tenth. But ,as Dr. Mon remarked, "God will not ask us how we numbered the Commandments, but how we kept them."

Punctually at 11 am, the starter's pistol set the Second Crews in action. From a bad start the Christian Brothers' crew found themselves behind the other crews, but determined effort made up the leeway, and with fifty yards to go it was apparent that "Christians" staying powers were better than those of the other crews.

Scotch had closed up on Hale. and were fighting it out with the light blues.

Genevieve Tobin and Conrad Nagel at the Capitol Theatre. In "A Lady Surrenders, ' which commences its second week at the Capitol to-day (Saturday), are the familiar ingredients, a man and two women. The author does not attempt to resolve any nice questions of marriage; it is merely a story of incompatibles. The merit of the picture is to be found in the excellent quality of the acting, which shows to how great a degree the standards of the stage are improving the standards of the screen. Character is As an authoress, well delineated. Isobel Beauvel gives expression to her sentiments regarding marriage, and conceals them from her husband under a boorish demeanor. When these sentiments are published over the name of Mary Smith, she is the recipient of mans- congratulatory letters, including one from her husband, who makes an appointment to meet her. Unwilling to disclose her identity, she prevails upon a school-girl friend to pose as Mary Smith. The meeting takes place with romantic and startling developThe cast of the production ments. includes Conrad Nagel, one of the most popular actors of the talking cinema. Genevieve Tobin, who went direct to Hollywood from the big Broadway stage success, "Fifty Million Frenchmen," for her screen debut in "A Lady Surrenders": Rose Hobort, famous for her many stage roles, among them "Death Takes a Holiday." Basil Rathbone, a famous stage favourite before he came to talking pictures a year or so ago, has one of his characteristic roles as a charming Frenchman, with whom the wife believes herself in love. In this brilliant cast are also Vivian Oakland, headlined for years over the biggest vaudeville circuits, and a big success, as well, in talking films, among the latest being "The Floradoro Girl." Still another star is Carmel Myers, long a stellar figure in the silent pictures, and the possessor of one of the finest voices on the screen. Her abilities have won her a prominent place in the artistic personnel of the new medium. Franklin Pangborn is another star who is seen in "A Lady Surrenders." The picture thus has one of the finest casts e ver gathered for any dramatic production. Screening in conjunction with "A Lady Surrenders" on the Capitol programme is a series of well-chosen "shorts." "Temple of Love," a diverting Fitzpatrick travelogue, with some of the sweetest of India's songs. "Indian Love Lyrics." "Chanson Hindu,' and "Song of India " "Kiddie Revue," a Gus Edwards' colortone musical revue, which features all juvenile performers, "Go to Blazes." a Universal comedy, starring George Sydney and Charles Murray, "Strange as it May Seem"—the second edition of Universal's technicolour novelties, dealing with matters the average person knows little about, and Fox Movietone and Australasian Newsreels, complete the programme. During the interval guests will be entertained in the Foyer with

selected musical divertisements by the Capitol Duo, comprising James Miller, Pianoforte, and George Simmonds, Violin. On Sunday next, the pictoria feature will be Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's "The Thirteenth Hour," with Lionel Barrymore in the principal role. Box plans for the current programme at the Capitol are now on view at the B2142, 'Phones: B2141, theatre. B7400.

The Question Box Questions about the doctrine and practice of the Church will be answered in this section week. Inquirers are to be as brief .y. and clear as possible. St. Benedict Medal. This is a devotional medal made at the Benedictine Monastery of Monte Cassino, Italy. It is stamped with the likeness of St. Benedict, bearing the book of the Benedictine rule and a Cross, beneath it the words "Cross of Father Benedict." A chalice, symbol of the priesthood, and a raven, symbol of the monastic life, are also shown. Around the edge of the medal is a Latin phrase meaning. "At our death may we be strengthened by his presence." On the reverse side are various initials of Latin mottoes, and the word Pax (peace), or the monogram of Christ, I.H.S. The medal was first approved by Benedict XlVth. in 1741, and has since been enriched by further indulgences. Doctors of the Church. The title of Doctor of the Church is bestowed by the Church on ecclesiastical writers, noted for their eminence in theology and holiness. In opposition to the Fathers of the Church, who are revered primarily as witnesses of the Faith, the Doctors are extolled for their exposition of the Church's teaching and their defences of the Church's doctrine. This title was first conferred by Boniface VIIIth. on four great saints of the Latin Church: St. Ambrose, St. Augustine, St. Jerome. and St. Gregory the Great. Since then more than twenty theologians, all of them canonised saints, have been declared Doctors of the Church. The first of these was St. Thomas Acquinas, in 15M, and the most recent St. Peter Cannisius and St. John of the Cross, on both of whom the title was conferred by the present Pope. Symbolic Dove. In Christian antiquity, the symbolic meaning of the dove was various. As a symbol of the Holy Ghost it is especially connected with Baptism. In pictures of the Anunciation it represents the Incarnation of Our Lord by the power of the Holy Ghost. On tombs, the dove with an olive branch symbolised peace and hope in the Resurrection, and in flight it represented the entrance of the saints into glory. The dove is sometimes associated with

Protestant Theologian Converted

that he has made an end to the burden of the Protestant Evangelical Faculty of Bonn and the Rhenish Church."

The Cologne correspondent of the World's Catholic News Service writes: The dean of the Protestant Faculty of Theology at the University of Bonn. Dr. Eric Adolf Peterson, has been converted to Catholicism.

Other Protestant comment is to the effect that Catholics have the advantage in the matter of conversion for they are honoured by the conversion of Protestant leaders whereas the Catholics who turn Protestant are not usually from the best Catholic ranks.

In commenting upon the conversion, the "Evangelischer Bund" (German Evangelical publication) says: "Prof. Dr. Eric Peterson, who recently was relieved of his official duties as ordinary professor of church history and New Testament exegesis at the Protestant Faculty of Theology in Bonn, and appointed honorary professor of the philosophical branch of the same university, has turned Catholic and renounced the honorary professorship. Though we respect any serious personal decision, we regret with deep sorrow this step of Dr. Peterson It came not unexpectedly. His two books. What is Theology?' (1925) and 'The Church (19291, distinctly show that he never understood the Church's idea of reformation, nor Luther's idea of the priesthood of all the faithful and the essence of Protestant theology and dogma. Therefore we must be glad

WORDS OF WISDOM. to It belongs to the fervent Christianand suffer like Our Lord Jesus Christ,down it to carry His cross, never laying showing whatever happens, and never any tear in sufferings. The reason so many souls who apply themselves to prayer are not at once inflamed with God's love is that they neglect to carefully prepare themselves for it. For my part I know a man who, when he had got the habit of placing all his hope and confidence in God, even in the midst of dangers, was in a wonderful way laden with heavenly gifts, which it would take a long time to give an account of —St. Francis Xavier. Obedience, if it confines itself to the mere fulfilment of commands, is a poor and defective obedience: it is worthy of the name of virtue only when it rises higher and makes,our will and that of our superior to be but one. Those who do not give themselves to prayer close the door upon God, Who gives them no spiritual contentment in this life, and justly refuses them tee special assistance that would enable them to endure patiently the trials and contradictions which daily present themselves. If the servant of God would fain walk with more security through so many snares scattered in every place, be should have Our Blessed Lady as his mediatrix with her Son. Believe me that a little attention to acquire humility, and one act of this virtue, are worth more before God's infinite wisdom than all the learning in the world —St. Therese. Spiritual persons ought to be equally ready to experience sweetness and consolation in the things of God, or to suffer and keep their ground in dryness of spirit and devotion, and for as long as God pleases, without their making any complaint about it. All those who unjustly inflict upon us tribulations, anguish, shame, and injuries, sorrows and torments. martyrdom and death, are our friends whom we ought to love much. because we shall gain eternal life by those things which make us suffer —St. Francis of Assisi.

THE RIGHT IDEALS. Why does People ask themselves God allow wars and plagues and political graft. Possibly the best reply is that God is not a tyrant. He has left things for man to do and given him the power to do them, having pointed out the way. If mankind followed the teachings of His Divine Son, we would have no wars. God has placed a great trust in our keeping, and we should be faithful to it. FRIENDS OF GOD. 0 my Sovereign God in the midst of the overwhelming sweetness and interior consolations which the soul enjoys with Thee, she is sorrowful when she thinks of the great multitude of those who reject these heavenly joys, and of the number of unhappy souls who will lose them for ever. She seeks, then, by every means, to increase the number of Thy friends, and willingly sacrifices her repose to the hope of enkindling in others a desire for the happiness which she enjoys.—St. Teresa.

LOVE FOR LOVE Oh, we do not know what low is, do not understand what it means to love! Let us, then, beg of the Eternal Father, for the sake of His only-begotten Son, to inflame our cold hearts with some spark of that love with which He offered His only Son for us, so that although we are poor He may find in our hearts such fire of love that He will no longer have cause to grieve for our coldness and want of love. "God so loved the world that He spared not even His Own Son, but delivered Him up for us all "—Mother Fey, WHERE HAPPINESS IS FOUND. In friendships. In good wishes. In helping others. In friendly letters. In pleasant words. In little courtesies. In little kindnesses. In unselfish service. In social intercourse. In a clean conscience. In work that we love. In mutual confidences. In healthful recreation. In cultivating the mind. In doing duty cheerfully. In making others happy. In facing life with a smile. In achieving worthy ambitions. In the companionship of books. In doing one's best regardless of reward GOD'S PATIENCE. If I have anything to reproach Thee with, it must be the excess of patience wherewith Thy goodness has borne with me unto this day.

"The girl is none the worse for being shy," she said somewhat truculently. "I'm shy myself. If you leave it to me, I'll take the little one, Madam. I'd sooner have a girl I can train." Nurse with difficulty prevented herself from clapping her hands. "Wait a imnute, Martha," she cried.
