In due course the Council assembled in the great double Basilica of the Mother of God and St. John, its first session opening on June 22nd., 431, St. Cyril presiding as "filling the place of the most holy and blessed Archbishop of the Roman Church, Celestine."

The rest of the seven sessions were held amid comparative tranquility. The true personal unity of Our Divine Lord was defined; the title of the All-Holy Mother of God vindicated, and her e xact position in the scheme of Redemption made clear to mankind for all time.

"The Evil That Men Do. .

"The evil that men, do lives after them:" so the heresy of Nestorius was to be propagated by the "Nestorian Church,' which still survives in attenuated form. In the sixth century its adherents, banished from the Roman Empire, were welcomed by races further east; and the great Nestorian Patiiarch of Seleucia—Ctesiphon sprang up, and developed into a rival to the Apostolic See of Rome, although utterly devoid of those prerogatives which, Divinely promised and bestowed, are inherited by St. Peter's successors alone.

his case was considered, and sentence of excommunication and deposition pronounced in his absence. Still Nestorius remained defiant; and when the Antiochene party did arrive he adroitly turned the tables on his judges by constituting a rival council of himself and his partisans, who forthwith proceeded to anathematise and "depose" the Bishops of the genuine Council, further complications arising when both parties sent a report to Rome! The Emperor, hearing of the debacle, commanded both sides to deliberate in agreement: but Nestorius and a few diehards held aloof until the end. On July 10th. the Papal Legates arrived to express themselves satisfied with the acts of the opening session and the deposition of the heresiarch Nestorius the Fathers being "necessarily compelled thereto by the Canons and by the letter of our most Holy Father and fellow-servant, Celestine, Bishop of the P -)an Church.'

Social One of the first Coombe scholars, or rather winner of the first Coombe Scholarship, was married the other week at St. Brigid's Church. West Perth, when Vivienne Mary Kehoe, daughter of Mr. and Mrs Kehoe, of Mt. Lawley. was united in the holy bonds of Matrimony to Gerald Joseph Hogan (winner of the first Coombe Scholarship). Nuptial Mass was celebrated at St. Brighrs Church by Monsignor Fagan. and two of the bride's brothers served on the altar. The bride entered the church on the arm of her f ather, to the strains of Schubert's "Wedding March." Sweetly pretty the bride looked in her bridal frock of white satin, made on medieval lines, with long. tight-fitting bodice. ruched at the sides, merging into a V-shaped front. The fully flared skirt fell into a long train at the back. A dainty Chantilly lace cap held in place the exquisite tulle veil, which was fastened on to •the cap with silver ribbons, and a dainty .range blossom spray at either side. Lovers' knots of silver rib' boa and orange blossom adorned the veil A string of carved white ivory Rosary beads (brought to her from France by the groom's sister) was carried, as well as the traditional bridal nouquet. The bridesmaids, Misses :M. Kehoe and J. McKimmie, were dressed alike in green satin frocks, featuring the tightly ruched. scalloped bodice and full flared skirt falling to the ankles. A short bolero, scalloped with loose sleeves as far as the elbow. then fitting tightly as far as the wrist, was rather a unique finishing. Small cerise Close fitting hats, with bow at back, were worn; green hose and cerise shoee, Sheafs of cerise coloured dahlias and roses were carried. The duties of best man were carried out by Mr. J.

Some of them say that excitement is not good for children, that it makes them nervous. Certainly one must admit that it is not desirable for little folks to sit up too late in the evening, but social life can be one sound form of education, perhaps, as necessary as any other, if we regard education as a preparation for life. At parties the shy child can gradually overcome shyness, and the noisy little "shower-off" has to cease being the centre of the picture. The youngsters have to share toys .give and take in the games, and learn to be thoughtful for others in their capacity as host or hostess, while the little guests will acquire self-possession and good manlier in another setting than their own homes.

"Old Boy," John D. Skipworth, with his perpetual 'smile, arrived on tick of time, and his decisions throughout the day were fully appreciated by all. By secret ballot, the captains are elected, this year the chosen ones being Leo King t bluesi. and Bonnie Angelo (reds). The games commenced amidst much excitement on all sides, and at the end of each game the youthful spectators seemed to be trying to out-do one another in a shouting contest, so that by the end of the fourth, nearly all were hoarse. When the Reds won the first set, the Blues did indeed look blue, whilst the Reds had a rouge colour, due to exciteAs the play progressed with ment. .surprisingly even results, the young captains declared themselves quite faint from excitement atid suspense. and were kept from utter exhaustion by the space of time allotted to breakfast, lunch, and afternoon tea. After these short respites, the play was resumed 'midst renewed cheering, for the players and spectators had once again regained their voices, with a vengeance. At last it was time for the Captains' Set. with Reds one in the lead, and with the knowledge that if they won that set they won the tournament. This spurred the Blues on, and after a short and most exciting battle, Blues were declared the victors, so that the score was even-ten sets to Blues and ten sets to Reds. A fter a consultation with the um pire, the Captains decided to play their set again but owing to the failing light--"the shades of night were falling iast"—when games and counts were equal, the tournament was declared a draw and acclaimed by all. The friend. ly rivalry that was displayed throughout the day was a pleasant feature, and much remarked on by onlookers, %vim, as the games were played, thronged the grounds, while motors ranged along the road, showed the interest taken by parents, friends, and ex-pupils.

The buildings will be small in size and varied in s tyle, while every attempt will be made to preserve the typical character of the "Borgo." The authorities are also carefully collecting together the bits of marble from various monuments found scattered over the Vatican grounds for use in decorating the Church of St. Stephen of the Abyssinians, which is to be rebuilt behind the apse of St. Peter's. CATHOLIC GROWTH IN ALGIERS. Visitors to Algiers tsziys an overseas c ontemporary t, have from time to time remarked on the extraordinary development of that town which lies by the sea, for a distance of over twelve miles. Below Fort l'Empereur, in the quarters of Isly and of Telemly, buildings have become so numerous and the population has increased so much, that a large church has become absolutely necessary to replace the small chapel which was built by Madames de Wayters and de Terwangue, the "Belgian Ladies." as they were called. That grand church, due to the munificence of their heir, M. Charles de Harenne. Commander of St. Gregory the Great. has just been opened and blessed by the Archbishop of Algiers, in the presence of M. de Harenne himself. the Consul-General of Belgium. of M. Pasquier-Bronde, first associate of the town, and a distinguished and pious congregation that filled the naves and galleries. Dedicated to St. Mercian the young martyr of Cherchell, the church will be henceforth the centre of a new parish which already counts more than 5.000 Catholics. The resurrection of the African Church continues marvellously. HOLY WEEK IN ROME. Some 35.000 pilgrims visited the Eternal City for Holy Week and Easter. The churches were filled to overflowing, and it was estimated that 15.000 to 26,000 pilgrims attended the Maundy Thursday and Good Friday celebrations at St. Peter's.

In 1925 Father Macelwane announced at a meeting of physicists that he had preliminary evidence tending to indicate that the earth's core is A rigid solid. At about the same time he undertook the study of records of an earthquake in the South Pacific Ocean, near the Antarctic continent, which was so situated that many of the world's best observatories were opposite to it on the other side of the earth. The results of the investigation have just been published by him as a scientific paper in the German Journal on peophysics, and reprinted with English and French translations.

The essence of the Co-operative State was simply that it put the wealth and efficiency of the productive forces of the country first and foremost, and not the interest of any particular party or clubs, and that it built on the harmonious working of the employers and employed, said Father Eustace Dudley, SI. M.A., lecturing in Glasgow recently, under the auspices of the Catholic Social Guild. In this country-, he said, we had to get rid of the three-party system. The people must rouse themselves to realise their needs, and the Government must be put there to work for the people, and it must be a Government which in some form or another w ould see the necessity of co-operation, with the harmonious working of employed and employer,

The Question Box Q uestions about the doctrine and practice of the Church will tie answered in this section week. ly. Inquirers are to be as brief and clear as possible. Montmartre. Monmartre is a northern section of Paris, situated.on a hill, and overlooking the rest of the city. Prior to the 9th. century, two churches stood on this hill, one dedicated to St. Denis, on the traditional spot of his martyrdom; the other, on the summit, said t o have replaced a temple of Mars. The t wo churches later on became the property of the Benedictines, and was for centuries a popular place of pilgrimage to a shrine of the Blessed Virgin. In more recent times, it has become famous as a centre of devotion to the Sacred Heart, since the erection of a national shrine, a Basilica dedicated to the Sacred Heart. Started in 1875 as an offering of expiation, this Basilica is one of the costliest and most imposing of modern churches. It is also the seat of an Archconfraternity of the Sacred Heart.
Octave. Octaves, from the Latin "octavis: meaning eighth. are made up of a feast day and the seven days following. Only very important feasts are placed on the Calendar by the Church with an octave. The memory of the feast is kept up during the octave, the intention being to honour in a particular manlier the mystery of religion or the Saint commemorated on the feast day Among the principal octaves itself. may be mentioned those of Christmas. Easter, Pentecost, and Corpus Christi.
Downer. John Joseph Dellinger, wahose name is often associated with the "Old Catholics" of Germany, was born in Bavaria in 1799, and died in Munich in 4890. He became one of the foremost scholars of his day, and was professor of Canon Law and Church History in the University of Munich. At first a vigorous defender of the Catholic cause, he later began to advocate a sort of nationalised Catholicism. The Vatican Council was finally the occasion of his downfall. He was not a member of the Council. but from the outset, in his writings, opposed the definition of the doctrine of Papal Infallibility. When finally it was defined, Dollinger refused to accept it, and was excommunicated. Although looked upon by the Old Catholic as one of their number, he never submitted to their Schismatic Bishop. Ile died without being reconciled to the Church.

Cremation There is au amount of unfathomed truth in the adage: "There are two side, to every story." There are two sides to life, which after all, is a story evolved—the story of the human race, and there are, two sides even to the civilisation of the 20th. Century. The century we live in is a strange mixture of marvellous progress and of faddism hitherto unparalleled. We have abundant evidence on all sides of these strangely diverse features. The inventor, the explorer, the scientist in his many departments, surprise the world year after year by their stupendous discoveries. But, as a kind of corrective of this justly boastful spirit of our times, faddism starts up with its train of grotesque absurdities and erratic vagaries, and acts as a brake on the triumphant chariot of progress and enlightenment. Among the more recent faddisms of modern times is the faddism called Cremation. We discuss it here not because there is the faintest likelihood of its becoming popular, but because this and kindred subjects are periodically thrust on public attention by their respective promoters, and seem to break out unaccountably in our midst like the influenza and other epidemics. And what have we to say? The promoters and advocates of Cremation are simply faddists—we much prefer being caned a conservative. They have caught the keynote of the age, and learned its lesson aright. The spirit of our age is a spirit of novelty and iconoclastic disregard for the cherished predilictions of humanity. Now, what more fully answers the requirements of the faddist than the project of cremation? It is the next best thing to novel, being the resurrection of a pagan abomination. TO become an advocate of cremation is one way of gaining popular admiration. If you do not possess a constructive genius. you must only hanker after the next best thing—a genius that is destructive. Their only hope of making a noise in the world is centred on the bump of destruction, as phrenologists term it. The anonymous author of "A Silver Domino" very shrewdedly utrns the searchlight of his critical genius on seine of the plague-spots in our day. when he says: "If I did not believe, or pretend to believe, in Spiritualism. Theosophism, Buddhism, or some other fashionable 'ism,' which is totally opposed to Christianity. I should not be 'in the swim' of things. And, of course. I would rather perish than not be in the swim of things. I cannot. if I wish to go with my time, admit to any belief in God. Like Jean Bearnat. I say. 'Rien, Rien, Rim' The exclamation of Rien. Rien, is a la mode, and those who are loudest in its utterances, usually take to belief in bogies 'under which head comes Cremation." And now to the arguments of our Cremationist. It is claimed that earth burial contaminates air and water, and thus creates a menace to public health. We have not the least hesitation in affirming that these are but bare assertions and flimsy theories. The hygiene of cemeteries was carefully studied by scientists when the question of Cremation arose in Europe. Here are the findings of scientific investigation: In the "Dictionnaire eneyelopedique des sciences medicates" of Dechambre. Drs. Lacassagne and Dubuisson wrote: "The collected facts, far from showing the diffusion of resultant gases on the surface, seem to prove, on the contrary, that the greater part of them do not reach the surface at all, either because of combinations with the soil or because of the pressure to which they are subject. The feeble quantity of deleterious gas that is into the air . . . seems powerless to lead to any particular malady or even any special susceptibility, even in those who are most exposed to it." • It will be well to consider the concise, trenchant and well balanced remarks of Professor E. Porro on this subject. These are his words: "But even granting that the main scope of Cremation is to prevent the dead being injOrious to the living, why advocate Cremation of human remains—which when buried are interred at such a depth as to cause only hypothetic danger to the living— while carcasses of thousands of putrefying- animals remain unburied or merely covered by the earth? 'Why not concentrate your hygenic endeavours on putting the sewers in better order, removing dung-hills, legislating for the removal of noxious trades and industries, from all of which arise pernicious and unhealthy exhalations?" This keen judge of human nature terminates his remarks on this subject witl-la sentence that puts the whole case in a nut-shell: "To set about bettering the healthy conditions of city life, would be rather a common-place undertaking, lacking the distinctive badge of 'mens renovata' and possessing but scanty claims to general admiration." • • • In conclusion, we say: Fear not, notwithstanding the vain dreams and futile endeavours of cremationists, the cemetery still remains as a school of sanctification for Christians. There they learn the great lessons of man's mortality, and the decay of all things human. The crosses on the tombs, rising heavenward, tell of the faith of those who sleep beneath and of the hope they died in of a glorious resurrection. The Church looks upon God's Acre as a sanctified spot, which She hallows by solemn blessings to receive the earthly remains of her children. In their insane rage for all the Church holds dear, her enemies wish to snatch from her hand the resting place of pilgrims. But, fear not. "The Church goes on her triumphant course, and the highway of time is - strewn with the dry bones of her enemies,"

THE RECORD. Recently, Most Rev. Dr. Downey, Archbishop of Liverpool, preached a sermon in the church of St. Patrick, Banbridge, Co. Down, in aid of the church, on which money has been spent on much needed improvements. His Eminence the Cardinal Primate presided at the High Mass, which was celebrated by the Most Rev. Dr. Mulhern, Bishop of Dromore. The Archbishop of Liverpool, taking as his text the words, "Ye shall bear witness to Me unto the Uttermost ends of the earth," remirked that it was said by some people, "In the Catholic Church you have rigid uniformity, everybody has to believe and practise alike, there is no room for intellectual expansion." But surely, said the preacher, "to accuse a witness of rigid uniformity was to He pay him the best compliment." gave instances of the way the Church was cross-examined for 1,500 years. It had not been shaken, but the crossexaminers had been shaken, shattered, and driven into countless sects, and today those who were cross-examining the Church could not even agree among themselves as to the questions they would ask her. But always she welcomed cross-examination because she heard in her ears the glorious words of Christ. "Ye shall be witnesses of Me unto the uttermost parts of the earth." As announced in "The Record" last week, Mr. Albert Lynch had the unique honour of playing, by request of the Holy Father, a violin solo for him. Mr. Lynch, who was among the party of students at the opening of the new the College of Propaganda, on laniculum Hill. was introduced to His Holiness by Cardinal Van Rossum and the Rector. The Holy Father c onversed with hint for some time. and recalled memories of His Grace the Archbishop and Archbishop Redwood, of New Zealand. Turning to the Rector of the College, he requested that Mr. Lynch be asked to play on his The piece selected was "Ave violin.

"Fine, very tine, bravo.- In a letter to his mother. he says: "The Holy Father is a wonderful man, and the more one sees of him the more one is impressed that he is not only one of the wisest men in the world. but also one of the most learned and, above all, a man—and a holy man. He has a wonderful personality and certainly makes one feel very much at ease in his presence." At the dinner which followed the opening ceremony. twelve Cardinals were present. The orchestra played a march, written for the occasion by Mr. Lynch. By request of the Cardinals, he contributed the introduction to Saint Saens "St. Members of St. /Rondo C,aprieiossi." Mary's Cathedral Choir will be pleased to learn that the gold pen presented by them to Mr. Lynch as a farewell token, was used by Cardinal Pacelli. who officially represented the Pope. when signing the documents connected Mr. with the opening ceremonies.

NEWS FROM IRELAND—
Irish Priests in the Far East :
Redemptorist Fathers in the Philippines Father Robert Sheridan, of Chicago, a priest of the Maryknoll home of the Maynooth Missions, recently called attention to the splendid work that the Redemptorists had done, and were doing, in the Philippine Islands. Father Sheridan is in charge of the Archipiscopal halls of residence for University students in Manna. ''The Redemptorists' record of Baptisms in the Philippines," Father Sheridan says, "approaches Xavier's. Their validating of marriages is almost unbelievable-30,000 in 20 years. "Their missions are often more of an event in the life of the people than The Philippinos fiestas or carnivals. flock to them; and while they are in progress the Redemptorists visit every home. hear Confessions, baptise, administer the sacrament of marriage, and so forth. "Eight hours a day in the confessional is the allotment for each Redemptorist, and four weeks is the average duration of the missions. As one of the sons of St. Alphonsus said, the first two weeks are not so hard: but you begin to feel it in the third week, and when the end is in sight you are ready for a complete rest. "After a mission recently given by the Redemptorists in the Philippines, t here were still 9,000 Confessions to be heard after the four weeks were over. Priests from nearby parishes had help-
ed. but their aid had not sufficed. Another engagement had to be filled, so the 9,000 were advised to travel to where the next mission was being held. "During the mission an old patriarch who had been away from the Sacraments for 9'2 years went to Confession, and a couple away from the Church for 80 years were validly married." The Irish Redemptorists went to the Philippines in 1906, and took care of parishes in Cebu, ho-ho and Manila, as there was still a great scarcity of priests after the American conquest of t he islands from the Spaniards. Parochial work at Manila they have since passed on to others, as stated, but they retain—notwithstanding the great call upon their services as itinerant missioners—their parochial responsibilities in Cebu and ho-ho. When the Redemptorists went to the Philippines their Australian houses were in the Irish Province, hut now Australia forms a separate province. An idea of the fruits of the labours of the Irish Redemptorists at Cebu can be gathered from the fact that las! year 119301 there were in that area alone 107.086 Confessions, 316,399 Holy Cemmunions, 1,755 marriages, and 370 converts. And the great work is proceeding steadily, and wonderful stories are still to be told of successes achieved.
Dutch Delegation to Dublin Congress Pilgrim Fleet Growing The pilgrim fleet expected at Dublin for the Eucharistic Congress is growing. The latest addition is a liner chartered by the Dutch Catholic Travel Agency. Centropa, to convey Dutch pilgrims to the Congress. At least 250 persons, it is announced. will form the Netherland delegation. but it is expected that this number The pilwill be greatly exceeded. grims will lodge aboard the vessel during their stay. This is the sixth liner which has been announced definitely to anchor in Scotsman's Bay, Dun Laoghake. The Right Rev.

Urging the organisation of a Breton pilgrimage to Dublin, "L'Adsao." Brest says: "The Bretons and the Irish are brothers in race. It was from Ireland principally that our Breton sires came in the fifth and sixth centuries. It is from the Irish that we have inherited our language and our faith. The Dublin Congress will give us an opportunity of meeting our brothers across the seas." "L'Aclaso" proceeds to explain that a delegation from Brittany is being arranged.' An advance guard of the Ancient Order of Hibernians of San Francisco w ill leave next month for Ireland to prepare for the participation of the organisation's delegation in the Congress. Members of the committee leaving in May will remain in Ireland about t wo months to study the Congress Programme and local conditions. Five hundred are expected to make the pilgrimage next year. A large delegation is expected from New Orleans, and the Archbishop (Most Rey. Dr. Shawl has appointed as director of the pilgrimage the Rev. Thomas Gaffney. diocesan director for the Propagation of the Faith. A Blase of Light. The Congress Committee has carried out an extensive canvass of Dublin in connection with the scheme for floodlighting and illuminations on the nights of Wednesday. June 72. and of Sunday. June 26. 1932. The result of the canvass has been e xtraordinarily gratifying. There was apparent on all sides the greatest willingness to cc-operate in the scheme, and it can now be stated with confidence that the city will be a blaze of light on the appointed nights. Practically every firm called upon within the extensive area canvassed up to date, i.e . from Cavendish Row to St. Stephen's Green. and from Westland Row to George's Street, consented to c o-operate with either illuminations or flood-lighting. Dr. T. Bodkin, Director of the Na-

But there was another binding link, since they were receiving Communion together as ex-students of St. Joseph's School.

To some appeared to be given more than their share of worldly success, the life of others was cast in more humble surroundings. but God provided proportionately of His gifts, and in the end each would receive according to His judgment.

Japanese Tone Pervades Farewell Reception to Delegate. Tok yo ( Japan.)—Traditonal Japanese customs marked the farewell reception given by the Catholics of Tokyo to His Excellency Archbishop Giardini, on the eve of his departure from lapan, where he had been Apostolic Delegate since 1925. The reception was held in the Catholic Hall, Tokyo, March 15, and attended by His Excellency the Most Rev. John Chambon, M.E.P.. Archbishop of Tokyo, delegates from the various parishes, and a large group of foreign missionaries and native-born Japanese priests. Following the custom of the country, a single note sounded on the piano gave the signal for all to arise and salute by a profound silence the representative of the Holy See. There followed the national anthem, "Kimigaya," a hymn in honour of the Pope. and the address of Archbishop Chambon. Mr. Ono, as representative of the Trustees and Professor of the "Morning. Star" school, then advanced with a beautiful handpainted scroll written in ancient Chinese characters, and read the document with the solemnity and majesty demanded by local customs A French translation, magnificently illustrated, was presented to the Delegate with the Japanese text. The gift of the parishes to the Delegate was a handsome vase enclosed in a box wrapped with white paper, and tied with the traditional cord of red and white interlacings. The Catholic women presented a delicate painting executed on velvet. In his address of thanks, the Delegate spoke feelingly of his affection for Japan, and for the Japanese, and of the cherished memory he would carry away of the loyal Japanese Catholics. His words were translated into Japanese by Father Totsuka. Following the reception, a religious ceremony, and later, a dinner for the prelates and clergy, was held. Nigeria Government Praises Priest for taper Work. ‘siba (Benin. Nigeria. West Africa). —Father Heffernan, of the African Missionaries of Lyons. has been officially commended by the Nigerian Government for his .work among the lepers. Extracts of the acting Resident's letter are as follows: "Resident's Office. Benin, "March 11. 1931. "Reverend Sir—The following excerpt from the Benin Provincial Report is reproduced for your information: 'There are at present 361 patients in the eight leper asylums in UgwashiUku District. These settlements are originally established with a view of safeguarding the inhabitants and checking the spread of the disease. It is almost impossible to provide inmates with any regular treatment, and there is considerable difficulty as to food supply. Reverend Father Heffernan. of the Roman Catholic Mission. is deserving of warm commendation for his devotion in constantly visiting four of these Fettlements and using his own personal supply of antiseptics and comforts to improve the condition of the inmates. . „' In commenting on the report. His Honour the Lieutenant Governor has directed that you should be complimented for Your good work. should like to thank you, on behalf of ni5 Honour, very much indeed for the good work you have done in regard to your visiting and treatment of the lepers, and to express the hope that you will continue the good work.

Outer World Brevities. Tonnt;ou (Shan States, Burma).— Taking advantage of the rainy season. which renders missionary travel impossible, the missionaries of Pekkong, Shan States; Burma, took on the role of masons, carpenters, and cement mixers. to erect the new Cathedfal of Pekking, the first stone Catholic church in Tanngou. • Every other Catholic building, including the Bishop's house, is a mere • frame building of wood, making a sorry comparison with the magnificent stone temples of the Buddhists with their gold-leaf finishing.

"Would you please." he writes. "buy for me and send up here six planks about twelve feet long and one foot wide. With these I intend to make my coffin for the time when I shall die, an event due at a date distant or otherwise, who knows? You will not blame me.

For the rest it will also make me think more seriously of the final end; • Manila (Philippine Islands).—Ascribing his conversion to fourteen readings of the Life of St. Theresa. and prayers offered for that intention, President Quezon, one of the leading statesmen of the Philippine Islands, has formally retracted masonry.

(The remarkable fact that the worldwide depression being felt heavily in ,. Japan at the present time, is drawing people to the Catholic Church, is ex• )sed in the following article. In the atholic Church alone is found the answer to the vexing questions of life, declares the writer, a prominent clergyman of Tokyo.) 'There are many indications that the Catholic Church in Japan is entering upon a new phase. that changes for the better are taking place. It is a wellknown fact that until recently the Catholic missions in this country have made but little and slow progress; even at the present time the number of baptisms is very small in comparison What are with other mission fields. the reasons? When Japan was opened up to the West some eighty years ago, her leading statesmen very soon realised that the only hope of preserving the poll. deal independence of the country was the speedy adoption of Western civilisation, and above all of Western indusThe people had little time trialism. to consider metaphyisical problems. Moreover, the nations with whom lapan had to deal were in the main countries with a large Protestant population, such as Great Britain, the United States, and Germany. These countries, being industrially most developed, seemed to typify the ideal after For a which Japan should strive. time Japan indeed thought of adopting also the religion of these countries. but Western indifferentism and reactionary nationalism prevented the carrying out of such a plan Meanwhile the country was flooded with Protestant missionaries of the A nglo-Saxon race, and the Japanese tank advantage of their presence to learn the English language and to It was adopt Western civilisation. but natural that a good many would also embrace the religion of their teachers. and for this reason Protestantism has had a fair number .4 converts in Moreover, the many schools Japan. and charitable institutions of these missionaries greatly added to their prestige with a people impressed by Thus it is easy outward brilliancy. to understand why Protestantism should have appeared to the Japanese as the religion which alone could come in question =honld thee think of giving up the faith of their fathers for some In other words: Prothing better testantism was in vrigtw.

Before • the country had recovered from this blow, the great earthquake of 1923 more than destroyed the enormouse wealth accumulated during the war boom. Meanwhile the Bolsheviks had been sending their agents to the Far East to stir up the working classes against capitalism, and the depressed economic condition of Japan proved a fertile field for their propaganda Thus together with economic depression Japan is faced with social and political problems of a very serious nature While material prosperity is often an obstacle to .the spread of the Gospel
hardship and distress make serious people think. The fact that Japan has recently been confronted with various hardships is very likely largely responsible for her changing attitude towards Catholicism. Protestantism has never taken deep roots in the Japanese people because the main interest had been directed towards material progress: moreover, modern Protestantism is very little apt to satisfy one seeking an answer to the vexing problems of life. Protestantism is slowly losing ground Catholicism, on the other hand, with its clear-cut teaching, its staunch adherence to authority, its firm stand in moral questions, must necessarily irm

A young scholar, a Doctor of Science, who not long ago received Baptism, is helping Father Shibutani. The writer of this article was once present when he spoke on the history of his conversion. He pointed out that his first thought of becoming a Catholic was the result of the kindness of a missionary who taught him French.

It is most interesting to note that not even the Japanese Protestants are unfavourably disposed towards the Church. A fair number of 'converts come from their ranks. The fact that the remnants of the old Church in Japan belonged to the very poorest classes, may also have prevented many Japanese from becoming At the present time, howCatholics. ever, it is rather the higher classes that are interested in Catholicism, to a great extent the result of the influence of Catholic schoola. It is to be re. gretted that for many Years Japan had no Catholic schools at all, and that es-en at present their number is by no means adequate. But few as they may be, they enjoy great popularity, not only by their high standard of learning. but even more by their character The Government favours training. them because it knows they are a strong bulwarks against the "dangerous Hence it thoughts" of Communism. is imperative that the Catholic missiontake advantage of such promising proc pects by materially increasing the num her of their schools.

To draw men to real and practical belief in the Incarnation. in the Eucharistic Presence, in the beneficent gifts of the priesthood, and in the intercessory office of Christ's Mother and His Saints is worth all our efforts and all our Sacrifices. What a field is there lying around us. stretching far on every side, for the zeal and the missionary spirit of Catholics! BE PREPARED. Throughout the world every day, according to statisticians. there are 250.eoo meh, women and children who are "called home." In other words, on an average. a quarter of a million people die every day. The figures may seem f antastic but they are likely as accurate as mortal man can estimate, They serve to remind us that death is as inevitable as the setting sun. We cannot escape death. What, then, are we to do about it? Worry? No. fo! God does not want us to worry. All lie asks of us is that we he prepared. He speaks through His Church, urging us to live as we would want to die. hat means we should live in grace. Tsince all of us hope to die in grace. Luting thus is not difficult. It re quires a little will power, a lot of determination and the help of God. The !atter we ran always have for the askmg Will power and determination to persevere in grace are directly our own

A wise woman waits until her husband has had a good dinner before asking him for a new Summer outfit. She knows that the average man's willpower weakens as his stomach expands. Very few human beings can long remain proof against the undermining pull and demoralising strain of leisure. Politeness in a man should be measured by his behaviour--chivalrous or I therwise—towards the aged of both sexes rather than by the way in which he (lances attention upon pretty young U nless tempered with prudence, bravery may easily degenerate into stupidity.

CORPUS CHRISTI. MARY'S LULLABY Glad, the dawn bird meet Thee. Sweet, his carol greet Thee: And fragile flower In dainty bower With heaven's fragrance treat thee. No sorrow e'er possess Thee, Nor evil e'er distress Thee. But soft as breeze On summer seas The smile of love caress Thee. Hark, the seraphs' singing. O'er the glad hills ringing! The blessed sound Shall e'er resound. Its tale of mercy bringing. And while the stars are beaming. Like vigil tapers gleaming. Thy angel tend And ever lend Sweet thoughtts to thy dreaming. - -S. W. Daly. in "Franciscan Herald THE BEST REWARD. Are You making the mistake of thinking that you can always put off the job you hope some (lay to tackle until you are "feeling just right?" Do you think that people other than yourself must "feel pretty good." much more than you do else they could not attain such good results? You are mistaken if you imagine others are always "feeling good." The healthiest and ablest man has to force himself to do things. The man or woman who thinks the right mood must be on one before a certain piece of work can be..done is a victim of self-delusion. All of us have to force ourselves to do things. Few of us would work if we were not obliged to do so. Reward comes not for doing what we like to do, but what we do because it is our duty. In all work there can be a certain amount of enjoyment. But effort must be made to keep up that work. We hear young men and women say they cannot paint of write until they are in "the right spirit." Need it be said that their whims will never carry them to artietic or literary success.
Don't wait until you "feel right." Determine to do a thing when it should be done. Those who wait until they are in the "right mood" invariably fritter their lives away.

The Church of God is no Wayside Inn, But a Terminus decreed.

IN TIME OF SICKNESS, St. Gerald Nlajella has left us a most perfect example of the right way to accept sickness. When he was suffering from a most Painful and dangerous illness, he had the following words written upon the door of his room: "Here is done what God wills, as God wills, and as long as He wills it." What a perfect text for a sick room! By conforming the will to the Will of God, by accepting sickness as from His Hands. suffering can be transformed into a source of strength and consolation, and the sick person can work just as effectively for God as when well and strong. When some people fall sick, they hasten to say: "I do not mind being ill. but I do mind not being able to work It is such a waste of time, lying here and doing nuothing!" What a mistake! Our only work in life is the doing of God's will. One can do just as much for God and souls when lying physically helpless as when one is actively employed. God may not want our labour, but He never refuses suffering, suffering offered up in union with the Sacrifice of Calvary, in union with the Sacrifice of the Mass.
