people came into contact with poor Mgr. Perosi at the period in which his mental affliction pressed heavily upon him to the sorrow of the Roman people and his admirers throughout the world. Next thing announced by the little group of sectarians was that he was about joining up with them. Yes, zir-e-e a real, live Roman priest was going to see the light! how the dear, foolish old ladies who supply toe shekels would rejoice and sing Hallelujah in London! Some say they took the poor stricken man to London, and that a box of unedited compositions went with him and never came back. Anyhow, the Roman dailies of all shades of thought in religion and politics took up the matter,
and simply flayed alive those responsible for having insulted a saintly priest, taking advantage of his helplessness. Editors who had not gone to Mass for many a year poured out their anger, fury, and ridicule at the inane act of the inane intelopers among the Romans. "Could you not have let him alone?" they asked in their contempt for the act. "Do not we all know is afflicted?" how A couple of weeks later the great artist was seen walking the streets of Rome, and a set of inane foreigners, with more money and audacity than common sense and common decency, hung their heads in shame. And the Roman people took Mgr. Perosi to their hearts more closely than ever, and made more manifest their pride in him. He is still a source of glory to Italy, hence the popularity of his nomination as member of the Italian Academy, which sets a seal upon his standing in t he eyes of the nation
The Most Favoured Month THE MONTH OF MAY.
It is remarkable that in most countries the month of May is the most favoured of all the months in the year. The weather is generally fine and pleasant, and there is a great profusion of flowers, and this is also the month of Our Mother Mary, the month in which the Church has a special devotion to her, and thus gives her children an opportunity to show their love for her. It behoves us. therefore, to see that we profit by this and ask her to help us in all our troubles and difficulties. Our Lade is styled the cause of joy. Truly, She is the joy of the whole world. for had not God given us a Redeemer how joyless would be this earth. To every child of Adam it is a vale of tears, and those who seem to enjoy most of its happiness know by e xperience that all earthly satisfaction is vain and transitory. Were it not for religion and the ennobling and consoling hopes it holds out to our view, the world would lie in reality a place of punishment, where criminals were placed without any knowledge of the cause of their misfortune or any means by which it might be remedied. If we feel that we are guilty children of a guilty parent, we know that in Our Lord we have a Redeemer Who has made abundant satisfaction for our offences. If we suffer from the rebellion of our passions, we have in His Divine grace the means whereby they may be subdued. Without this Divine aid, we might be hurried into excesses which our reason and conscience condemn, but could not control, and which would eventually lead us to regard life itself as an intolerable burden. If we have to endure tribulations, the thought of Jesus Christ and of His humilations, privations, and sufferings, reconciles us to our lot, and even makes us glory in our tribulations. If we naturally recoil from death, from t hat departure out of life which in itself and its consequences is so important, the hope of that future glory which the Son of Mary has purchased
for us by His Blood more than suffices to calm our agitations and makes fear give way to hope. While we pour out our hearts in gratitude to Him for this amelioration of our state, can we, or ought we. forget Her whom the Church styles "The Mother of the Prince of Peace,- and the "Cause of our Joy?" While we are sensible of this truth, let us see whether we participate in this good, this great benefit of spiritual peace and joy of which Mary is the cause, to the extent that we ought. Do we feel the joy of a good conscience? Perhaps we have rejected the means of salvation, the devout reception of the Sacraments; perhaps we have abused them by receiving them without the proper disposition. Should t his, unfortunately, be the case, how can we truly call Mary the Cause ot our Joy, when, although She has given the source of true happiness, we have not permitted its influence to reach our souls, but have preferred the gloom and agitation of a troubled conscience to the joy and tranquility which this Prince of Peace would have established in them. Let us take the resolution to find rest for our souls by applying to them the healing balm of a Redeemer's mercy. By regula• tion of life and exactness and fervour in God's service, we will secure for ourselves the joy of a good conscience, and thus we may hope to merit through Jesus Christ a participation in the jcys of God's Kingdom, which wi:1 never end. Let us. therefore, profi• by this month's special devotions, and ask our dear Mother Mary to guide us and help us along the right path in this life, and rest assured that we shall merit to behold our Mother and her Son coming to assist us at our death in our final combat, and they will surely conduct us to the happiness of Heaven. What a happiness, indeed, to have Jesus and Mary to assist us in our last moments, but this favour will only be granted to those who during life have served them faithfully.—E. F. G

Another glorious week-end, ideal days, just enough crispness in the air to make one choose the sunny side of Symbolical of the street for a walk. e very -day things, instead of looking at the gloomy side, take a peep at the soony side. There is such a lot to be thankful for: health, strength, a bed to sleep on, a roof over one's head, sufficient food to eat, and sometimes a little amusement or pleasure can be squeezed in. Money is certainly scarce, or, as the Scotchman said one day, But though some "awfu' tight." money is a necessity to enable one to live, still it should not be the whole sum and aim of one's existence. The greed of gold, and yet more gold, can spoil one's outlook on life, all the finer and nobler qualities becoming subservient to the grasping hand. Gold cannot save one's soul. But more preciMa than gold is the cheerful, generous optimistic nature, the nature that holds gut a helping hand to a brother or sister whose lot in life is less fortunate than one's own.

NEWS FROM IRELAND.
Is the Partition of Ireland to be Abolished? An Incident in a Dublin Theatre Writing to The Irish Catholic- last month, its Dublin correspondent reports: Captain the Right Hon. Herbert Dixon, M.P., dealt at the annual meeting of the Fermanagh Unionist Association with persistent rumours that conversations have recently taken place regarding the abolition of partition. There was, he declared, nothing whatever in the rumours. Those who raised a matter of this kind, on whatever side of the border they lived, did their country a great disservice, as they only created suspicion and ill-feeling, and hindered the ordinary business of life, which was at the moment so necessary. No such conversations ever had taken place between responsible men, nor at the present moment could he believe that such conversations could Their own Government take place. and the Government of the Free State
were far too busy steering their countries through difficult times to engage in barren discussions of this descripTheir own leader, Lord Craigtion. avon, would never, under any circumstances, engage in any conversations which aimed at their severance from Great Hritain. In these days the real patriot was the man who minded his own business, worked for the prosperity of the country, and, like a good Ulsterman, stuck to the principles' of his forefathers. It will be noted that there is at least no "Never, never,' in Captain Dixon's speech. It will be noted, too, that the phraseology is frequently ambiguous. just seemingly contradictory enough to satisfy the faithful in Per:managh that "not an inch" is still the policy of "Ulster." Captain Dixon's remarks have served to harden the belief that powerful interests in Belfast are working for the wiping out of the boundary line
The Gate Theatre Caricatures Religion The caricature of religion during a performance at the Gate Theatre, Dublin, has brought criticism upon those performance. the charge of in In what had been advertised as "The there is a balDublin Revue." The story of the ballet is built let. around an obstreperous goat, which earns the reputation among the simple rural folk of being possessed of an evil spirit. The goat is exorcised and the evil spirit is expelled, after much weird gesticulation by the "priest," attired, by the way, in the usual stage-clergyman style. The exorcist is accompanied by an acolyte, bearing a tray, on which there is a lighted candle, a bell, and a book. The caricature (writes the "Catholic Times" correspondent) almost passed muster at the opening performance on Easter Monday evening, when one of the most important members of the Government was present, accompanied A few hisses by influential friends. only represented the amount of disapproval in the audience... On the Tuesday evening, when the "priest" was standing over the subdued goat with a lighted candle, the house was startled by the loud-voiced protest of a member of the audience. "I protest," said the interrupter, ''against this outrageous display of irreverence. I protest as a Catholic." Immediately, there were angry cries from all parts of the theatre of "sit down!" and "put him out." The protester, however, stood his ground, and repeated his objection in a still louder voice. This time, the response was mixed, for, though quite plainly the sympathies of the audience generally were against the interrupter, there were some encouraging cries: "You're right, sir; it's a disgrace." and "Cut it out!" B y now, the lights had been switched on. The interrupter was approached by one of the chief actors and by four attendants, and requested to leave. This he refused to do, and was forthwith ejected. Four men left the theThe atre in sympathy with him. revue proceeded without further incident, except that the two persons in charge made speeches in which they expressed astonishment that anyone ,should have taken offence

The Better Part of Wisdom. T he "Irish Times" next morning reported the incident, and referred also t o the "rather skimpily-attired ballet." That night the theatre was packed in every part, but, possibly, after a hastily look around, those in charge announced that, in order to protect the (lancers from such indignities as they had been subjected to at the previous performance, it had been decided to eliminate the incident to which exception had been taken. Dublin was thus robbed by discretion of "a big story,' for the huge audience, duly noted by the newspapers, contained a delegation of students of University College, who had gone there determined to make their presence felt. The Tuesday evening protest, by the way, was not organised, as the Dublin correspondent of an English paper appears to think. It was the protest of an individual, who was unaccompanied. Lest it might be imagined that Tuesday night's extraordinarily assorted audience—one noticed a non-Catholic High Court Judge, Protestant ministers, and some of the leaders of Sovietism in Dublin—was one from whose attitude one might justly infer the attitude of the ordinary citizen. It should be mentioned that the Gate Theatre does It not attract the average citizen. is rendezvous of the throw-offs of the Abbey Theatre, and the dullest place on earth. The registers of a Catholic church in London will give particulars, it is believed, of one person who is connected with it, and who generally gets the credit of being unbaptised. Concerning another, an episode of •a few years ago in Howth Hill is recalled. On the death of a lady, a dear relative, he carried her ashes in an urn from a crematorium in England. and "romantically" gave them to the four winds of Heaven among the bracken and the heather which she loved
A Co. Dublin Centenarian "The Tablet" says: -County Dublin has just been rejoicing at the hundredth anniversary of a prominent medical man, Deputy-Inspector-General W. Connolly, M.D.. RN., to whom their Majesties have sent a gracious message of congratulation. Less than a month hence, if all goes well. the Free State capital will be able to hail another Irish worthy among its centenarians, for Mr. Richard John Corballis, JP., of Rosemount, Clonskea, will be a hundred years old on May 2 Mr. Corbalis is the oldest living Oscotian: he was at the college from 1841 until 1849.

The Corballis Ireland: many Catholic foundations were made, after the passing of the first Relief Act, by the zeal of one or other of its members.
Death of a Distinguished Irish Redemptorist A venerable Redemptorist, the Rev. Vincent Bourke, C.SS.R., died at St. Patrick's, Athenry, recently, in his 73rd. year. He came of a well-known and esteemed Limerick family, and received his early education from the Jesuit Fathers at the Crescent College. Limerick. He entered the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer at the age of twenty, was professed at Bishop-Eton, Liverpool, in 1879, and was ordained priest at Teignmouth, South Devon, on September 21, 1885. His deep spirituality and impressive preaching marked him out from the start as a missioner of no ordinary merit, and he laboured with unusual success in Ireland, England, and Scotland. Father Bourke was one of the first three priests to arrive in Belfast in 1896, where he founded the Monastery of the Most Holy Redeemer, Clonard. He then went to Dundalk, where he was Rector of the Redemptorist Monastery for six years, from 1898 to 1904—being its first Rector since the foundation of the Irish Province in 1898. In both of these places the name of Father Bourke is still a household word. At Limerick he was Consultor to the Provincial from 1915 to 1921, and acted as Vice-Provincial during the Provincial's absence. In his closing years he returned to Clonarcl, and surely it must have been no small joy t.‘ the old man's heart to witness the intense apostolic activity of which that foundation had become the centre. In the various Redemptorist churches in which he worked he was much sought after as a confessor, and the sinning and the sorrowing ever found in him a sympathetic father and an enlightened guide. As a result of the triennial nominations in March. 1930, he was attached to the community of St. Patrick's, Esker, Athenry. In one way or another his sickle was in the harvest almost to the end. Though in failing health for some months, his state had given no grounds for immediate alarm, and on Saturdamorning. April IS, death came with sly prising swiftness. But Father Bolick, had felt its approach, and he met with the piety and quiet dignity a.distinguished him in life.

Imins and Galway, and followed by many of the laity from Esker and Athenry, were borne forth to burial. To the strains of the "Fienedictus" and the murmur of many a prayer, the old priest was laid reverently to rest in the unusually pretty cemetery in the Mon. astery grounds, where crocus and daffodil and evergreen turn men's thoughts from death to the Everlasting Spring. R .I.P.
Death of Canon Flannery, P.P. Very Rev. Francis Canon Flannery, P P. died at the Parochial House, Castlemartyr, Co. Cork, aged 68. He was born at Buttevant, and after his ordination 44 years ago, he spent some years as Professor in St. Colman's College, Fermoy. He was then appoint. ed Diocesan Inspector. His first curacy was Mitchelstown, where he spent the longest term of his ministry. Thence he was transferred to Midleton, and finally became P.P. of Castlemartyr, and was appointed to the Chapter. His death is sincerely deplored in the Diocese of Cloyne, and more particularly in Castlemartyr, and in Mitchelstown. where his work as director of the Men's Confraternity will long be remembered.

The manner is almost as constoat as the Bourbon face, which generation after generation keeps the same characteristics.

Louis XVIII. rode into Paris and was seen, old as he was, to resemble so exactly his brother. Louis XVI., who had ended his life at the guillotine. It added a note of superstitious horror to the proceedings. "It was as if," someone has written, "Charles I. had made an unlooked-for entry into the London of Queen Victoria." There have been exceptional Bourbons. Louis Phillipe (it is true he was of the Orleans branch) was one of the most notable King Charles X., his predecessor. never laid aside his white plumed hat even when hunting; but Louis Phillipe was a bourgeois king with his "large sentimental umbrella" and his habit of walking on foot through the Paris mud, bowing affably to the passers-by.

It was never certain whethe• the Dauphin was killed in the Terror, and there is a story that a decree was passed by the Ginvention in 1794 "that the committee of Government should devise the means of sending the son of Louis out of the territories of the Republic In the nineteenth century there were a great many stories—intriguing and with just enough evidence to give one pause-that the Dauphin had been found in America in the shape of an old gentleman who had lost his memory in y outh, and who was known to his neighbours as the Rev.

Stalin's Gentle Way With Opponents BANISHMENT OR EXECUTION' "Rioch writes in the "Catholic Times": Stalin, the Soviet dictator of to-day, continues what was the initial policy of Lenin, but what the latter abandoned before his death, namely, Marxism in its most violent form. According to Alexis Ksunin, an authoritative emigrant writer. the Nen, or New Economic Policy introduced by Lenin, which was in reality a reversion t o old-world methods, is now completely shelved; and thus there is no room fur the Menshevik& the nobility who remained in the land, and the professional class. These, under the vague ante of Communists of the Right, had hoped for a possibility of co-operation with the dominant Bolsheviks, in order to put a brake on the course of 11,e revolution, and gradually lead the State to a moderate form of Socialism. To Impress Trance. Stalin's intransigenec, however. does not admit as collaborators any but extremists of the Left. By banishment or executions, he has got rid of his opponents: and trials have been t tatred to intimidate at home and to impress abroad. Stalin is intent on showing France, whom he considers the most potent of his enemies, that his Five Year Plan is hound to succeed, owing to the credit obtained from French and English firms which enables him to flood Europe with cheap goods, and, owing to the practical assistance of German engineers, mechanicians and skilled workmen. Thousands of these enter Soviet territory, whence, in return, quantities of bullion are transported to Berlin. Discontent and Disorder. While these facts are emphasised by Soviet Press agents, little transpires of the disorders in the Ural and Don district: where workers' strikes are in-

Stalin retorts by measures of increased severity which, far from quelling discontent, has resulted in the destruction of co-operative stores and in repeated rioting. Military reinforcements have been despatched from Moscow to several districts on thte Volga. Europe. viewing the Five Year Plan, is naturally divided into two camps: the one which has direct profit from it, and the other wnich dreads the losses it must entail At present the success of the Platiletka (Five Year Plan) is the goal to which the Russian workmen and peasant are directed to strain as to the highest good. It is to take the place of that Christian religion which the Bolsheviks seek to exterminate by brutality or by persuasion, and to which t he Russian clings so tenaciously.

Big Brother of the Lepers DEATH CALLS JOSEPH DUTTON AWAY. In the Honolulu "Star-Bulletin," Howard D. Case writes the following appreciative notice of the work of Brother Joseph Dutton, whose death took place recently, after a long life of heroic missionary work among the lepers of Molokai: ' Nearly 45 years ago a man in the prime of life gtepped ashore from a ship's boat at Kalaupapa, Molokai. A little distance from the landing, in a gig drawn by a white horse, sat a Catholic priest. The stranger saw him and walked up to him. "You are Father Damien?' he asked. "Yes," was the reply. "I am Joseph Dutton. a lay brother," said the stranger, "and I have cOme here to help you carry on your work." Father Damien. who came to be known later as the "Martyr of Molokai," looked at the stranger for a moment, at the frank look in his e ves, at the clean-cut, smiling countenance. Then he said: "I need you. Jump up here alongside of me and we will ride over to the settlement.' And in this manner, unheralded and unannounced, did Joseph (Ira 13.) Dutton, one time Civil war captain, come to the little peninsula at Molokai to spend the remainder of his life in the service of the lepers as an atonement for past "sins." Joseph Dutton died at the St. Francis Hospital, where he had been taken last July suffering from an eye affliction, and weakened by advanced age. He would have been .88 years old April 27. His passing ends the final chapter of the story of one of the strangest missions undertaken by any man A devout Catholic, yet not in holy orders as many have believed, he spent the best part of his life min. istering to suffering humanity, and nearly half a century ago selected the difficult task of caring for lepers as a penance for "sins," which consisted chiefly of indulgence in intoxicating liquor following disappointment in marriage. If his wishes are to be followed--and undoubtedly they will—he will be laid to rest in the tiny crypt beneath the Damien church at Kalawan, Molokai. which years ago he prepared with his own hands and where he told friends, he wanted to lie after God had called him home.

Brother Dutton was born in Stow, U.S.A., on April 27, 1843. He received his education in Wisconsin and joined the 13th. Wisconsin Infantry during the Civil War. During a part of the war he was stationed in and around Memphis. He rose to the rank of captain. When the war closed he remained in the service with rank, and was transferred to the commissary department. For many years he spent his time settling claims of citizens against the government At first he was stationed at Humboldt, Tenn,. but soon afterwards came to Memphis, and decided to make his home there. Captain Dutton, as he was known, cared little for society, though he enjoyed many splendid acquaintanceships. He was not morose, but was a deep humanitarian. He decided to seek the life of a recluse, and joined the Catholic Church. He was baptised at St. Peter's Church in Memphis. April 27, 1886. his 43rd. birthday. His name was changed to Joseph. Following his baptism, he went to Gethsemane. Ky., and for 20 months was in the order of the Lady of La Trappe. While there he rescued a young lady from a runaway horse. James Lane Allen in his "White Cowl" wove a pretty story around the incident A fter leaving the monastery, he went t o New Orleans to join himself with t heRedemptorists. Then, in a recrea. don room, he read a magazine article about the work of Father Damien on Molokai. and decided to go thenHis career in civil life was brief. In the prime of life he went to the Lonely Isle, remaining within the narrow confines of the small community of Kalawao, ministering to the needs of patients at the Baldwin home. He left Kalawao for Kalaupapa but twice before going to Honolulu 'for hospital, once to send the effects of Father Damien to Belgium, and ,nre for an e ye operation. DAILY PRODUCE MARKET REPORT

parts of the world will mourn the passing of Joseph Dutton. Only a few of them knew him personally. Others came into contact with him either through personal correspondence or t hrough reading of his achievements. The very nature of his mission to Molokai made him famous, and no doubt the world will, in one manner or another, pay tribute to his sacrifice to the cause of his fellow men. For 44 years he lived at Kalawao, Molokai, where, after the death of Father Damien, himself a victim of leprosy, he carried on the work of that martyr priest, and took charge of the Baldwin Home for leper boys and men upon the establishment of that institution. In all that time he never left Kalawao, except for two or three trips to Kalaupapa, three miles distant. His first visit to the outside world was taken when he was brought to Honolulu last July for medical treatment.

THE POPE AND UNION OF SCIENCE WITH FAITH. Science and religion joined hands on a Sunday afternoon last month, when the Pope was present at the inauguration of the "Radio Newspaper," which is to be broadcast from the Vatican City wireless station. A sitting of the Scientific Academy, at which Cardinal Ehrle and many academicians were present, was the subject of the broadcast. Several papers were read and various announcements made, including one concerning discoveries with regard to cosmic clouds made 1?y Father Hagen. The Pontiff then gave his blessing to the new enterprise, expressing particular pleasure at having the opportunity to bless yet another instance of the union of science with faith, which brought into contact two distinct realms—the natural aml the supernatural.

A few days before Easter the mem. hers of the two Chambers in the Hungarian Pailiament followed the spiritual exercises of a retreat in the Villa Manresa, which is situated amongst the mountains in Buda. On the closing day an address was given to the retreatants by his Eminence Cardinal Seredi, who also celebrated Mass.

PRIEST'S INVENTION. Invention 41 the -gyroplane.- a fly• ing craft in which he believes he has solved the problem of safety in flying. has been announced by Rev. Pin Maria Scatizzi, S.J., professor of higher calculus in the Pontifical Gregorian Um His "gyroplane," the result versity. of years of laboratory experiment, will. Father Scatizzi believes, permit of ven tical take-offs and vertical landings, and will provide more satisfactory equilibrium in horizontal flying, since it serves to insure the aircraft against gliding. The importance to the Vatican City of Father Scatizzi's invention can .be realised when it is Considered that because of the limited area of the city, provision of adequate landing fields is an impossibility. In order to make use of aviation the Vatican City must await the perfection of vertical rising and landing. Realisation of this caused Father Scatizzi to redouble his efforts, with the result his recent 'announcement that he believes he has solved the problem. The potential value of Father Scatizzi's invention is attested by the fact that Pope Pius XI_ who has interested himself greatly in the experiments, has informed t he priest.inventor that, should his "gyroplane" be successful, he is ready to purchase two machines for the Vatican City.
KNUTE EOCENE'S DEATH. A great career was closed when Knute Rockne, the famous Notre Dame football coach, perished in the crash of a passenger air plane near Kansas Father Charles L City, last month O'Donnell. president of Notre Dame University, described Knute Rockne's death as "irreparable in many ways." He said "Nothing has ever happened at Notre Dame that has so shocked the faculty and student body To every person at Notre Dame this is a pet• sonal grief, as if a member of his own family had died. Everybody was proud of Rockne. Everybody admired him. Far more than that, we loved him. Apart from the unique and deserved success which he achieved as director of athletics and football coach he was a great personality with the attributes of genius. My own friendship for him extends back for 20 years. when I was first assigned to Notre Rockne Dame after my ordination. was then a student in Corby Hall. where I was prefect The friendship thus formed has remained unbroken, and will always be, for me. one of the fairest memories of life."

ALBERT LYNCH'S RECITAL unexpectedly the Holy Father crossed the boundary ot his sovereign State last month, and passed through part of Italy to open with due solemnity the Propanew College of Propaganda. ganda has for 300 years sent missionaries to all parts of the world. The new College is on the Janiculum Hill, overlooking the Vatican. It has been built at a cost of £200,000, part of which has been loaned by His EmMence George Cardinal Mundelein, Archbishop of Chicago. Cardinal Mundelein journeyed from Chicago to be present at the inauguration. The Pope's decision to go was announced so suddenly (says Reuter) that Cardinal PaceIli, who was to have acted as His Holiness' representative, had already vested to take part in the ceremony as the Papal Legate. Cardinals were already waiting at the new College to receive the Legate when news was conveyed to them that the Holy Father was to arrive. Five motor-cars conveyed the Pope and his suite to the ceremony. The Governor of tly. City of the Vatican and the ConiniAndant if the Papal Gendarmes were in the first. The Holy Father. acne, Hulled by Mgr. Caccia Dominioni :mil Archbishop Crernonesi, I. and the other cars were in the St were occupied l,v members of the Papal

Third Order of St. Francis PERTH FRATERNITY. A t the fourth Friday monthly meeting of the members of the Perth Fraternity of the Third Order, the tertiaries agreed to celebrate with becoming festivities the sept-centenary of St. Anthony of Padua, whose feast occurs on June 13, and who is perhaps the best known and bast loved Franciscan Saint, after St. Francis himself. Our Holy Father, Pope Pius XL, has recommended all Catholics, and especially Franciscans. of the Three Orders, to honour this famous Saint in a very special manner. 'His Holiness has chosen as the centenary motto "Per Antoniurn ad Jesum"—"Through Anthony to Jesus!" Let tertiaries, then adopt it as theirs for this centenary year, from June it 1931. to June 13. 1932, showing thus regard to the wish of the great fellowtertiary, Pius XI., who also celebrates this Year his jubilee as a devoted member of the Third Order. Tertiaries who were unavoidably absent from the meeting on May 22, please note that it has been arranged t o make a novena to St. Anthony, from lune 5th. to June 13th . making use of the prayer. in the - Franciscan manual, as a preparation for other celebrations in his honour, notice of which will be 2iven them next week.

This was the Holy Father's third appearance in public, and his second journey outside his own State. The first journey was to St. John Lateran's for an early Mas, soon after the signing • of the Lateran Treaty. Later he appeared in the Piazza San Pietro. (Front the ' i'inverse" Rome Correspondent.) Up to half an hour before the cere. stony, it was believed that Cardinal Pacelli would act as Papal Legate at the solemn opening of the new College of Propaganda The unexpected coming of the Holy Father in pvrt..1:1 made the solemn opening of the new college an event of most solemn Agnificance and of the greatest impoi LanCe in the history of Propaganda and the Missionary movement of the I latholic Church.

PERTH, SATURDAY, MAY 30, 1931.
Those Little Calvaries A great impetus was given to the Scout movement in this country by the visit of Lord and Lady Baden Powell. Though only a short visit, it served to bring together in the big centres of population masses of scouts and girl guides, and to spread a spell of enthusiasm over the juvenile section of the Commonwealth. The visit should have the happy effect of dispelling whatever sombre notions might have been created in influential sections of British opinion by the unwarranted jeremiads of an unfriendly Press of the loyalty, honesty, and commercial straightforwardness of Australians. At least the visitors can tell the jeremiahs of the British Press that the whole-hearted welcome of the thousands of Scoutland who came out from Australian homes to do them honour, was an impressive army of potential citizens who had no other feelings but loyalty and friendship in their hearts; that beneath their uniforms was the material of citizens that in intellect and physical charm could compare with the best under the Empire's flag. That is no empty boost—it is a great fact. • Speaking to an impressive gathering of Scouts and Guides on the Esplanade on Sunday morning last, the Governor of this State ( Sir William Campion). the Chief Scout of Western Australia, who is on the eve of closing a very peaceful term of office here, and who will leave this State with the best wishes of its citizens, expressed himself in beautiful phrases when he recalled an ancient custom in Catholic countries of erecting wayside Calvaries in towns and villages. War had broken the peaceful avocations of the peasantry of France and Belgium—had stopped the even tenor of their spiritual life, and spoiled the beauty of the landscape, but the little Calvaries remained unscarred by shot and shell, and the figure of the Crucified One, with outstretched arms, became a symbol of hope and an inspiration and help to the soldiers passing on their With the nearness of Death, and in the way up to the lines. tumult of affliction, they found solace in them. The world to-day has forgotten the shadow of the war, and the silent sermons of the little Calvaries in which Sir William could read a sign and a promise. For him they emphasised a truth, that "God was behind the material things of life. that He was there in times of danger and trial." As a statesman and a Christian. he was old-fashioned enough to say that it was a pity that the little Calvaries of France and Belgium were not erected by the English-speaking races, for he could imagine no finer memorial to any man or movement than to have a Calvary erected outside a place, that it might continue through the ages to be an inspiration to those coining and going to remind them that God was ever ready to help them. These are great words, and brave words, coming from the Governor of this State and the highly esteemed representative of the King. • • • Sir William's words should be carried afar. They breathe a profound respect for religion and belief in God. And in these days. when high public officials are not ashamed to sneer at religion and to belittle belief in God, they serve as a sharp rebuke to the unbeliever. The spirit of. the age inclines towards selfishness and non-belief in God. The fashion of the hour is opposed to the things that Religion stands for. Little Calvaries teach Love, Renunciation. and Hope. They silently. emphasise an ideal that Sir William would inculcate in the heart of every Australian boy and girl. and, incidentally, in every citizen—that love for our fellowmen, and service to God and others, are the electric currents that should move the world. "We want," he said, "to abolish hate in the world, and this can only be done by creating love." Dear Excellency. let us strive to bring God back into our national life by restoring the little Calvaries to their places in the spiritual life of the people. Bring God into the schools of the nation, and the little Calvaries shall arise to bring inspiration and peace in days of The great Scout movement might heed tracail and desolation. your words, and heeding them, do splendid service for God, the nation, and mankind.

On Holy Thursday She celebrates Its Institution, and a note of gladness creeps into Tier liturgy. But Her gladness is short-lived then, for She is overwhelmed with sorrow at the memory of the Sacred Passion, at the thought of the, Agony in Gethsemane. and of the bast. betrayal which took place on that selfsame day. Hence it is that She keeps the Feast of Corpus Christi to give fitting thanks and praise for this marvel of God's goodness. The celebration of the festival dates from the thirteenth century. In the year 1208 it was revealed to Blessed Juliana of Mont Comillon that God desired the
introduction of a solemn feast in honour of the Institution of the Blessed Sacrament. But the work of its establishment was very slow. Blessed Juliana found difficulty in obtaining influential supporters. The Bishop of Liege at last took the matter in hand, but death intervened before he could accomplish his task. At the death of Blessed Juliana herself, only one church was yet keeping the Feast. Delays and difficulties succeeded one another. At last Pope Urban IV. instituted, the Feast. granting indulgences for its observance. Even so, as a result of the existing state of affairs, 40 years passed before its final establishment throughout the Church. Since then it has been kept with ever-increasing triumph. and has become one of the chief and most joyous festivals of the year.

The Holy Father-- the Pope of the MissionS"—expressed his thanks to all contributors "down . to the humblest individual in the most distant land" to the Association for the eropagation of the Faith, when he received in audience the A.P,F, Superior General. Replying to Cardinal Van Rossurn, Prefect kit the Sacred Congregation of Propaganda, His Holiness said: - Your eminent spokesman was entirely correct in saying that your presence here is a consolation fur the Common Father .of all. It is consolFew audiences, ing, very consoling. if indeed any, can be more interesting and more consoling than this one, my When we consider the beloved sons. work you have accomplished with the help of your co-operators, even to the smallest parish in the countries farth• est distant from this centre of Catholic Unity; when we consider the labour - you have expended, a labour so assiduous, so industrious, so multiple, so detoted, with that true devotion that t ouches the Ileart and the Person of Christ the King, as well as of His poor Vicar on earth; when we consider all this, it seems that nothing should be, or even could be, more consoling.

And We congratulate you, with all Our heart. First of all, on your work, because that is the title which more than'any other recommends you to Us and to the Heart of God. It was well said, by the good Father Segneri, that the distinguished Pontiff Gregory the Great, a true Pope of the Missions if tame ever wa, one, used to emphasise the fact that our Lord Jesus Christ called the Apostles when they were casting their nets, and not when they were pulling them in—as if to say, for the consolation of His priests and faiththat pleasure and reward will be measured not by the effect ob. mined but Iiy the effort expended." Cardinal Mundelein's Visit. Cardinal Mundelein, Archbishop of Chicago, accompanied by Bishop Hoban, of Rochford, came to Rome for the opening of the new Propaganda College. They will be in Rome for some weeks. Cardinal Mundelein is an ex-pupil of the college, and it was through his exertions that much of the money for the new building was raised. St. George's Day.

Cardinal Math was ,a great friend of the University, and was one of the chief speakers at the opening ceremony in 1921, when Cardinal Achille Ratti, Archbishop of Milan. acted as Papal Legate.
THE RECORD. Holy Father Answers a Fascist Charge. The Holy Father, replying to criticisms levelled at the Catholic Action Party by the secretary of the Fascist Party, states in a letter to Cardinal Schuster, Archbishop of Milan, that the Catholic party has no desire to take part in politics, and that if ever it had done so, he would have been the first to reprove it. His Holiness declares that the Fascist Corporative State --with which ne is glad to affirm that the Vatican is on excellent terms— and the Catholic Action Party have coordinate activities: both protect youth, one domestically and individually and the other spiritually and supernaturally. , The Holy Father expresses the firm belief that any difficulties which arise will be settled amicably. He ends by saying that the Fascist State can best prove its always reiterated desire to be Catholic by facts which consist simply in obeying the Catholic Church and its head who has now made perfectly clear his wishes in respect to the Catholic Action Party, P assionist General as Apostolic Delegate. His Holiness Pope Pius XI, has conferred a signal honour on the Most Rey. Leo Kierkels, C.P., Superior-General of the Passionist Congregation, in naming him Apostolic Delegate to India. The new Apostolic Delegate is held in the highest esteem in the Eternal City, and is rightly regarded as one of the most distinguished and able ecclesiastics amongst the regular clergy. He speaks and writes almost a dozen languages with ease and accuracy. whilst he is a Consultor to more than one of the Sacred Congregations at the Vatican. Born in December, 1882, at Haelen. in Holland, he was professed a Passionist on May 21, 1898, and was ordained in Belgium in December 18. 1906. Before ordination. he spent two Years in Palestine as a student of a special course Of Sacred Scripture. Immediately after ordination, he filled the Chair of Philosophy in his own Province for one year, at the end of which he was sent to Rome, where he was Professor of Sacred Theology for eight Years 1907-151. Visits to Australia His rare ability was not unnoticed by his Superiors at SS. John and Paul's so that he soon rose to the highest offices. In 1915 he became SecretaryGeneral, and he filled the even more responsible position of Procurator General from 1920 to 1925. Eventually, in 1925. he was elected to the highest office in the Order as Superior-General. and successor to St. Paul of the Cross, a position he held, to the satisfaction and edification of all his brethren, until raised to his new dignity. It is interesting to recall that the new Apostolic Delegate has visited Australia more than once, the last occasion being last year, when he visited the houses of his Order. While in Perth. the Rt. Rev. Father Kierkels was a patient in St. John of God's Hospital, where he was attended by Dr. Roy Mitchell. Leaving the boat at Fremantle, he travelled overland, and on his homeward journey he was a guest at St. Mary's, Victoria Square. His Excellency succeeds Archbishop Mooney, who after five years' fruitful work in India has been appointed to Japan. In a farewell interview before his departure. Archbishop Mooney outlined the future problems of India. "What the emergencies of to-morrow may be." said His Excellency, "we know not. But we do knew that the problems of to-day have chiefly to do with the provision of more and bettertrained catechists; the increase in the number of our primary schools; the development of local support for established parishes and institutions, and the effective enlistmem of well-ordered lay co-operation in the missionary and social work of the Church.'
Thirty other causes presented in 1930, including 21 involving marital questions, were not discussed because they were settled otherwise, or fell through because of the lapse of the given time. Mr. Dan O'Leary, who has just recovered from a spell of illness, due to over-work and worry in connection with wheat business, is now back to his former activities. He left for his home at Walgoolan early this week. Dan's many Perth friends wish him the best of good wishes and a substantial old age. • * Governor Franklin Rooseveltd, of New York la son of the great Teddy Rooseveltd, one of the most popular and versatile of American Presidents), in public meeting hailed Alfred E. Smith, against whose candidature all the forces of sectarian hate were let loose, as one of the greatest Irish Governors in the history of New York State. Of course, Marshall, the alleged legal luminary, who started the sectarian pack on the run after Alfred. will not agree with the broadminded Franklin Rooseveltd. * * Dr. Wallace, a lady doctor, in charge of maternity and child welfare work in Barrow-in-Furness. has resigned her position because she has received instructions to open a birth prevention clinic, a subject in which she says she will not give instructions. Commenting on the matter in a letter to the local Press, Dean Delany, of St. Mary's Church. says: "I had no notion that Dr. Wallace had been practically forced to resign a position she has so ably filled, for conscience sake. All honour to an honourable lady! But are the people of Barrow going to stand the dictation of a committee which has said to Dr. Wallace: 'Teach women birth-control by methods which you believe to be sinful, or clear out'? Dr. Wallace is not a Catholic; but she is an honest, God-fearing woman, and it will be a disgrace to Barrow if, after her years of good work in the town, because she will not defile her soul or stain her hands, she has to suffer at the hands of a so-called Welfare Committee' The• Holy See has recognised the Spanish Republic, according to a Reuter message from Madrid. No confirmation of this has yet been received in London from Rome. While there are a number of Freemasons in the new Government, and the Cabinet is described as having an anti-clerical taint, the Republican authorities have so far made no strongly anti-clerical move. "For the time being," says the Minister of Justice to Reuter, "the Government has limited its action to proclaiming complete religious liberty, with equal rights for all creeds." No open act of hostility against the Church has been reported, with the exception of isolated acts, presumably the work • of local Communist groups. The Bishops urge the faithful to submit to constituted authority, and Catholics. even though largely monarchist, are fulfilling this advice. This action is shown by a leading article in "El Debate," the foremost Catholic organ, in which the programme for Catholics has been reset to read "Religion. Country, Order. Family. Property," the word "Monarchy" being omitted. "El Debate" remarks that it is not desired that Catholic monarchists go the same way as the French, being harmful both to Church and State: Spanish monarchists should follow the example of German Catholic monarchists, who deem it with present duty to collaborate with the republic for the good of the country. The question of the separation of Church and State has been left alone by. the Government, but, it is stated, it will he brought before Parliament when that body is convoked.

Bunbury GRAND CONVENT SCHOOL CONCERT. St. Joseph's Hall, Bunbury, was filled to its capacity on Thursday evening, when the Convent School pupils gave a delightful concert, the success of which gave ample evidence of the Sisters' careful, excellent training. It is hard to recall any previous programme submitted at St. Joseph's Hall which brought so many different types of stage work before the public. In fact the speaking voices and acting of Mary Foley and Mary Kelliher were portrayed in a manner not below the standard The openof the professional stage. ing number of the evening was a chorus by the infant boys, in costume, "A Mighty Captain Goes to War;" fine, manly chaps they were, with their guns and swords, and they behaved themselves in stalwart soldierly fashion. A kindergarten childhen's action song, "I am Mother's Little Maid," ably performed, found a warm reception, especially by the charmed mothers of A girls action the tiny performers. song, depicting some as flowers, others as butterflies fluttering and hovering over the flowers, with pretty dance The steps, gained great applause. Junior Orchestra played a set of lively dance tunes, and was deservedly encored. Mary Kelliher's selection from "The Merchant of Venice," was given in thorough sympathy with Portia's mood and Bassanio's deep devotion and love, and was encored by the conA humortrasting "Who's Afraid?" ms duologue, entitled "The New Servant," was rendered in a very exast and lively manner by Mary Foley and Mary Kelliher. With sunshiny clarity and happiness, Eddy Murnane, Peggy Flynn, and Dolor Buswell gracefully performed the Irish Jig, and deserved the rounds of applause and encores which followed it. The Infants and Juniors acted and sang "The Dream The CanTown Train" very nicely. tata, "Dame Durdeds School," was excellently carried out, the outstanding performer being Peggy Murnane, whose clear, melodious speaking voice made her parts of the cantata a distinct pleasure to follow. "The King of Denmark's Ride," faultlessly given by Mary Foley, was a recitation enunciated in truly creditable style. This little artist has a peculiar flait for dramatic Owing to the lengthy pro‘vork. granitne, she did not respond to the prolonged encore evoked by her performance. Miss Mollie Gibbs was encored for her violin solo, "The Dancing Doll." Mary Kelliher sang "Robin The first Adair" with much feeling. part of the programme was suitably concluded by a pianoforte duet, "Irish Diamonds," performed by Joyce Durbin and Joan Wells with good vim, tone, and perfect technique. This item was especially appreciated. The Infant girls opened the second part of the programme with "How'd You Like to be a Baby Girl?" They sang and acted with all their hearts in The following performtheir item. ers - Mary Kelliher (Mother) . Joyce Kenrick Dorothy Durbin (Grace). (Lucy).

A motion to increase the yearly subscription was defeated on the votes: various speakers debated the question pro and con, and good reasons were advanced on both sides. For the motion the main reasons brought forward were the maintenance of the courts and the necessity of increasing the playing accommodation; the stress of times being experienced, unemployment of some members, and consequent difficulties in meeting additional payments were the main points in the contrary argument. The motion was lost, and the subscriptions therefore remain as at present, e.g., ladies 10/6. gentlemen. El ls per annum. plus 5s. entrance fee for new members. Mr. L.

There was a good attendance ut members at the quarterly meeting held on the 20th. inst., presided over by the President, Sister Nora Joyce. It was reported that Bro. Frank Power was in hospital, as a result of an operation, and the hope was expressed that he would soon be fully restored to health. Sick pay was passed for two members. Members were very gratified at the great success of the first Hibernian euchre party and dance of the season, Weld in aid of the parish funds. There was a record attendance, which was largely attributable to the manner in which the members interested themselves in the sale of tickets. The syllabus committee are actively engaged in preparing social attractions for the meetings, so that members may look f orward to enjoyable entertainments after each meeting during the winter months. After the next meeting the c ompetition to select the branch's repreesntatives for the District Board's C ompetition for the rendition of the President's Charge will take place. The previous competition was most enjoyable, and it is expected that on the 3rd. June our orators will excel themselves. After the meeting a social e vening was held for the purpose of entertaining and making a presentation to Bro. Roy Galvin and Mrs. Galvin. Bro. Galvin is a foundation member of the branch, and is one of t hose to whose constancy and enthusiasin the branch's present satisfactory position is largely attributable, and the members were delighted to have this opportunity to manifest their regard for him and appreciation of his work. After an enjoyable _hour or two were spent, the members took their places at the supper table, and enjoyed the good things provided. The President then extended a cordial welcome to Mrs. Galvin, and spoke on the fine work done by Bro. Galvin for the branch and the society generally. Sister Joyce was supported by Bros. Creighton, Bungert, and Edwards, and she then, on behalf of the branch, presented to Bro. and Mrs. Galvin a handsome clock, suitably inscribed, as a token of the great esteem in which Bro. they are held by the members. Galvin. in responding, sincerely thanked the branch for their gift. and particularly fo'r the spirit which actuated He said that his work had been it. a labour of love, and he hoped to be always able to do his share for the welfare of the society.

The Miner" reports on the music recital, given by Miss Lorna Sydney Smith, at the Kalgoorlie Town Hall, on Tuesday, May 19th: The music-loving public of the goldfields were not slow to show their appredation of the undoubted talents of Miss Lorna Sydney Smith, when the gifted soprano, a Boulder girl, gave a most successful recital in the Kalgoor. lie Town Hall last night. Miss Sydney Smith has a beautiful voice 'of wide range and purity of tone, and her in- terpretation of the better known classical numbers earned her unstinted and, at times, enthusiastic applause. From her first two numbers, the beautiful arias from "Cavalleria Rusticana" (Mascagni) and "Ii Trovatore" (Verdi), the soloist completely captivated her audience. although she gave 12 numbers in all, the final tonal qualities were mainSydney Miss throughout. tained Smith's numbers included also "Just for To-day" (Blanche Seaver). "Pipes of Pan" (L. Munckton), "Quiet Down Here" (May Brake', "My Mother Bids me Bind my Hair" (Haydn), "Crea tion's Hymn" i Beethoven). aria, "La Mamma Mona,: from "Andrea Chenier" (Goirclano). "Fairy Tales of Ireland" ( Coattes), "Leaves in the Wind" (Le(mi), and Ronald's "0 Lovely Night" The success of the programme was further enhanced by the violin solos of Mr. J. V. J. Kennedy, L.T.C.L., who rendered "Fantasia Appasionata" (Vieuxtemps.) and D. Wieniawski's "Second Movement D Minor Concerto." whilst Miss Nancy Salas LAB., was heard to a dvantage in the pianoforte solo, "Sequirtillas" (Albeniz).

WORDS OF WISDOM. Every man is burn on the condition that one day he ceases to live. Not everything which is better in itself is better f -r each man in partici) Jar. We do not wi; dlv receive the treasure of God's love because we do not wholly give ourselves to Him. There is nothing more to the purpose for exciting a spirit of prayer, than the reading of spiritual books. If you are suffering from a bad man's injustice, forgive, lest there should be two bad men: St. Augustine. Let a man frequent the Holy Sacraments, go to sermons, and be often reading the IIVCS of saints. No one is more contented in the w orld than he who dispises all its good and desires only God. Christ has put on our flesh, not as if to lay it aside again, but to have it ever with himself.—St. Chrysostom. When the devil suggests to us discouraging thoughts, we must seek strength in the remembrance of the numerous benefits which we have received from God. Would that pious men, in the place of those fears and tenors which the devil uses in endeavouring to deter them from the service of God, would substitute the fear they ought to feel of God their Creator in case they should chance to give up what they have begun for Him. PRAYER TO OUR LADY. 0 Mother of ('rod! If I place my confidence in thee. I shall be saved: if I am under thy protection, I have nothing to fear: for the fact of being thy client is the possession of a certainty of salvation which God grants only. to those Ile means to have.—St John Damascene. GRAPPLING WITH LIFE. Beware of letting your care degenerate into anxiety and unrest: tossed as you are amid the winds and waves of sundry troubles. keep your eyes fixed on the Lord and say, "Oh. my God,Ilook to Thee alone; be thou my Guide, my Pilot." and then be comforted. When the shore is gained, who will heed the toil and the storm? A nd we shall steer safely through every storm, so long as our heart is right, our intention fervent, our courage steadfast, and our trust fixed on God. If at times we are somewhat stunned by the tempest, never fear: let us take breath and go on afresh. Do not be disconcerted by the fits of yexation and uneasiness which are sometimes produced by the multiplicity c'f Your worries St Francis of Sales. THE HOLY SACRIFICE.

from sinners, higher than the heavens, and able to compassionate us in our infirmities, intercedes for us with unutterable groanings, and becomes our propitiation, our victim; and the Eternal Father, Who promised to hear everyone invoking Him in the name of His Son, cannot refuse the Son Himself praying and offering Himself for Such is the excellence of the sacrifice of our altars. Little wonder, then, that the Church regards the Mass as her greatest treasure, as the most precious legacy which Our Saviour has left to His chosen flock. It has proved the inspiration of all that is greatest and best in music, art and architecture, for it is the one great act by which men may fittingly honour the majesty of God, thank Him for His benefits. appease His justice and implore His mercy.

THE WISDOM or FATHER DEGEN From the "Irish Catholic.") Gadabout women, who dress sensatiqnally in order to attract attention, rarely make good wives. It is a mark of Christian fortitude to accept the pains of a lingering illness with smiling gallantry. Demureness is naturally associated with womanhood, but in these days of sophistication and sex-equality drooping coyness is sometimes affected as a bait to catch a big fish. Only a Puritan would say that feeling jolly is sinful. Only a moral prig would pretend to love the prick of thorns more than the scent of flowers. The soul is the dwelling-place of either God or the devil. Film-producers and novelists who with ornate flowers of speech depict the unfaithful wife as a human tempest leaping the hurdles of convention lower the standard of family life. Not a few of our universities and colleges are becoming famous as centres of sport and athletics rather than as great schools of thought and learning. As a medium of communication, a
AN HONEST FACE. I love the balmy breeze of Spring, The mellow light of Summer morn, The gorgeous hues of Autumn's wing O'er limpid streams sad murmuring Through woods, and fields of corn. I've watched the quiet evening sky Aglow in star-bespangled space; But all the charms of earth and sky I'd freely give, without a sigh, For one true, honest face. I've heard sweet songs in many climes. Of Teuton, Celt, and Latin race; But sweeter far than sweetest chimes, And nobler than the noblest rhymes, A plain, but honest face. I've paused, in awe, 'neath lofty dome, And viewed the temple's sculptured grace; But classic art of Greece and Rome Ne'er equalled. all I see at home In one true, loving face. A beauty, ne'er by tongue expressed. A loveliness no hand may trace, k fairer light than purpled West, Or glow of Summer's olden crest, I find in one good honest face. —Rev. M. J. Power, in the Sydney Freeman's journal." THE WAY TO HAPPINESS. Man often cheats himself of the tranquility and peace which he deserves in the endless pursuit of wishes which he considers important. One has just to look about and observe how many are devoting their lives to the fulfilment of wants which they themselves have created. Many a man, passes a sleepless night, tormented by the debts which face him. Many a one is remorseful for the misspent time and effort in pursuit of rainbows. It is the want of one thing or another which brings them unhappiness. Some want opportunity, some want power. Who is without a .want? Certainly the exemption of want goes a long way in the path towards happiThere is comfort and satisfacness. tion in the knowledge that man has wisely arranged his programme and followed it. He may not indulge in the luxuries of his neighbour. He has not been so vain as to imitate a more successful friend. His wants he knew, and worked until they were satisfied. Splendour and elegance are not his wants. He cares more for comfort and a contented mind than he does o f jeopardising his life's earnings for show. Without these trifles he can live and live happily
with effects which proved to be lastDespite the fact that ill-health ing. attacked him and he was even made subject to injustices, he never lost his wonderful zeal for souls. Prom his mother he imbibed a great love for the Blessed Virgin, and did much to enkindle and to spread devotion to her whom he loved so devoutly. It was Father Dominic who first in. auugrated the outdoor, procession of the Blessed Sacrament. Among the joys which came to this faithful son of St. Paul of the Cross was that of receiving the future Cardinal Newman into the Church. and Father Spencer into the Passionist Congregation. He was also responlsible for the revival of the tonsure and the religious habit in his Community. His incorrupt body lies in the Dominican Church at Stone. Death came to this heroic soul suddenly, when he was alone, but, like St. Francis Xavier, his life had been his preparation for eternity.

Now that the ground is moist after the recent rains, winter gardens might be beAn early start means an early gun. display of flowers. A really good idea is to have a vegetable plot as well. Gardening may seem a lut of trouble to some of you, but it is really worth while. It will not be very long before the wild flowers will bloom again, and W A. will look like a vast garden. The wild flowers of WA. are famed in all the States, and justly so, for none of the other States can show the profusion of flowers and vivid colouring so lavishly bestowed by the bounteous hand of Nature on WA. The Gerald ton wax plant is blooming, and the fairies are donning their pale-pink The lilac trees waxen capS again. and plane trees are shedding their leaves, and going to sleep for the winter months, to awaken with renewed vigour after their sleep; but do not follow their example, boys and girls, and go to sleep in school in the winter mmths. -Study hard.

Vasse-road, South Bunbury. Dear Aunt Bessy,--J, am very sorry not to have written to you before, and hope you have not crossed my name off the Corner Roll.

Are you only twelve years old? That is young to be in the seventh class. Now. Cecilia, spare a little time for your corner. Love from, AUNT BESSY. Northampton. Dear Aunt Bessy.—I hope you are well, as we are at present. We have had a nice lot of rain in Northampton, and the plain looks so green and lovely. The farmers are busy putting in their crops.

I thank you very much for putting such a nice piece of poetry in "The Record" for me in your Corner, I liked it very much. Well, Auntie.

I hardly knew what to put in for you, but am glad yoti liked the verses. Regards. AU NT BESSY. Thoughts for the Week. God hat: given us a banner. It is our Faith. Its sign is the Cross, and it promises victory to us more than any earthly banner. it is no use ing our banner shut up in our heart must be displayed. We must corm.s.: our faith before men, not in our secret soul alone. Prayers sent out in the battle of life, if they are not followed up by service, are like unsupported banners. They win no victories

OUR STORY—
Miss Primrose : Florist
Saturday, May 30, 1931.
Rounding the corner towards which she was making, and hitting a hoop for all he was worth, came the one who was to be the chief figure in her romance, just as a gust of wind caught the lap on her head and blew it along. as if to greet him in advance. But the cap was as contrary as the wind. It blew this way and that, one second heading for a gutter running high with brown, muddy water, the next whirling madly in front as if in reckless harmony with the caprice of its squallyblowing guide, until Polly, her heart in her mouth, became almost frantic "Freddy," she shouted to the occu pied hooper. "chase my cap for me and I'll give you all my brother's marbles on Monday." But Freddy was not in the mood of a King Arthur's knight this morning, and, without slackening the hitting ol his hoop, he called as he ran on: "I don't want your brother's marbles, and cm no cap fancier, thank you, Polly Dwyer. Chase it yourself!" Indignant and hurt, Polly started on the chase and heard as she went : '113e sure and catch it, Polly. or your mothert spank you when you get home." It was the last straw—back on the wind came her reply: "Freddy N'alentine, don't you ever speak to me again in this life." That was the end of the one and only romance the little girl was ever to know. It might have been the end of H.M.S. "Victory," too, had not the right boot of a kindly policeman come down with alacrity on its brim and gallantly restored it to its owner. It was crushed and battered, but not so crushed as the disillusioned soul of Polly, which welcomed as a healing balm while continued her tearful way to the church, the sober voice which now so sweetly seemed to say. "Never mind, Polly. God want you."

"The violets are front myself," she Explained, for your little dead sister and mother, but the maidenhair fern I've put in between is in honour of the fine head of hair you're going to give up, God bless it!" "And I've got this for you, Miss Primrose, the girl said softly, pinning an old-fashioned brooch on the dress of her faithful friend. "Once it was my mother's, then it was mine, and now it is yours," and with that the t wo cried a little, said nothing a little, and then said good-bye forever. They do say, my dears, that from that day to this, Miss Primrose's pet customer has never been seen in her neighbourhood, for God was calling Polly, and Polly had gone, not like the knights of old to search for the Holy Grail, but to search for God Himself—the Father., the Son, and the Flory Ghost, the adorable Three in One. —COUSIN KATHLEEN.

The woman, however, as so often siappens, was anxious to screen her husband, and, if possible, obtain his acquittal. "Your husband has been treating you very badly, eh?" asked the magistrate. "Oh, no, your worship," replied the witness. "No? Did he bite off a piece of your ear?" "No. Your worship—I did it myself!" A pompous doctor was going round the wards of a hospital, followed by a party of Students. "I can tell a man's occupation by his disease," he said. "Now, this man"turning to a patient—"is a musician, aren't you?" "Yes, sir." "And you play a wind instrument?" "Yes." "You se:-. gentlemen. nothing is worse for the lungs than a wind in-

strument. What is your instrument, my friend?" And the man replied: "Concertina!" • Woman (meeting new neighbour) : "And what are the ages of your two charming children, Mr. Tibbs?" Mr. Tibbs (of Messrs. Tibbs, Wibbs, and Tibbs, solicitors): "Six and eight, madam." Teacher: "Sammy, give me a definition of an optimist." Sammy: "Please, teacher, a bald man who buys a brush and comb at the same time as a bottle of hair restorer." • Lady of the House. "But aren't you the man to whom I gave some pie the other day?" Tramp: "Yes, lady. I thought you'd like to know I'm able to get about again." • Salesman: "Yes, sir, of all our cars, this is the one we feel confident and justified in pushing." Prospective Customer: "That's no good to me. I want one to ride in.' Mack met Jack who had just joined the Navy, and noted his despondent look. He asked what the trouble was. "Well," replied Jack, "I joined the Navy to see the world, and they've gone and put me in a submarine!" • • "Talking of starting with nothing and making a fortune." said the talkative passenger, "see that old chap reading a paper? Well, he came to this town thirty years ago with ninepence in his pocket; he bought a tin of blacking and a wooden box and started as a boot-black after getting a set of brushes on tick. What do you think he's worth to-day?" "Oh, about f10,000," a listener suggested. "Well. You're wrong; he's rot worth .1 bean and he still owes for the brushes." • The argument started over a borrowed frying-pan passing by easy stages through defects in character, facial and other bodily peculiarities, to what one person would do to another if that other did not look out. Then came a slight lull in the storm. "After all. Mrs. Briggs." said Mrs. Mean. "you needn't get so uppish. I often pays back more than I borrows" "Yes. I can see that." retorted Mrs. Briggs: "this 'ere pan 'adn't got no 'ole in it when you borrowed it!" • A middle-aged woman went to a wellknown master for singing lessons. At the end of the second lesson the master had to tell her that her ear was not true She received the remark calmly, - or! at the next lesson sang as badly as before. "I am afraid." said the master, "that you can never learn to sing in tune." "Oh, it doesn't matter." was the surprising reply. "I don't care anything pboot music: hut my doctor said that singing would be the best thing for my dyspepsia, so I decided to take lessons." "That will do there!" cried a captain of Territorials to two of his men who seemed about to come to blows. "We don't want any fighting in this regiment!" Excited Traveller: "Can • I catch • the four o'clock express?" Stationmaster, calmly: "That depends on how fasti m can run, sir. It has got about h mile start of you!" ' You cannot burn the candle at both ends." said a father, admonishing a endthrift son. "Well, anyhow, you have always impressed upon me the importance of making both ends meet!" the youngster retorted. "What has become of my meerschaum pipe?" inquired the inveterate smoker. "Well, my dear," his wife replied, "it was getting awfully discoloured, so gave it a coat of white enamel, and it is not quite dry yet!"
