fulness and bustle of the departing pipgrims on their way to the boat for the mainland. There is much buying of souvenirs for relations and friends and picture post cards are dispatched. On the journey across the lake the Pilgrims' Hymn is sung with much gusto. Once on the mainland there are hurried handshakes and farewells. It is notable that many friendships made on the island are lifelong, and people who thus meet for the first time fre quently arrange to meet in the island in each succeeding year. All are happy in the fact that they have spent • three holy and happy days in the blessed seclusion of St. Patrick's Purgatory; happy in having persevered and triumphed over trials and conditions which to ordinary worldlings seem insuperable, but which on looking back to them are but mere trifles.—"A P11grim," in the "Universe." LATE MONSIGNOR O'LEARY. Right Rev, Monsignor- James O'Leary, who died at his residence, Laurel Lodge, Downings, Tullow, was for many years pastor of St. Colman's, Cleveland, Ohio. Owing to advancing year he retired, and returned to his native place. The funeral took place to the family burial ground at Grange, Tullow, and was very largely attended. Very Rev. Monsignor Delany, P.P., V.F., was celebrant of the Solemn Requiem Mass in St. Patrick's Church, Rathyilly. which was attended by a large number of priests and laity. BIGOTRY IN THE SIX -COUNTY STATE. Enniskillen, R.D.C., liy 9 v. tes to 6, gave a labourer's oittage to a man The other candidate, named Carson. Patrick Ruttledge, had residerl in the cottage 16 or 17 years with his grandfather, the former tenant. There was no written application from Carson. Mr. Owens (N. ) said it was the old game. Ruttledge would not get it because he is a Catholic. When it was decided to advertise I t a tmant for another vacant cottage, Mr. Owens said the advertisement should state "No Papist Need Apply." SIXTY YEARS A PRIEST. The diamond jubilee of the ordination to the priesthood of Father John Mo'onologue. parish priest nf Ttrinonamnngan, was celebrated at St. Patrick's Church, Aghyarran, Co. Tyrone. Father Monologue was recently. born in 1842, and was ordained in 1871. He has been P.P. of Termonarmtigan for over thirty years, and took a prominent part in all the keen political contests in North Tyrone when the seat was secured in the Liberal interet. He is a native of Gleneely, Culdaff. Co. Subsequent to High Mass, Donegal. the jubilarian was the guest of the Bishop (Most Rev. Dr. ()tame) and priests at dinner, at which he was presented with an album containing an address and photographs of the Bishops, priests and churches with which he had been associated during his sixty years in the priesthood. All the priests in the diocese of Derry were present or represented.

Rome.—While fears were expressed during the year that the world depres• 'ion would seriously affect the donations to the Papal organisation for support of missions, the Association ( Society) for the Propagation of the Faith, it is now established that the r eturns will be almost equal to those of last year. It was on this fact that His Eminence Cardinal Van Rossum, Prefect of the Sacred Congregation of Propaganda Fide, congratulated the a ssembled members of the Superior Council of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith at the opening sea. sion of the annual meeting in Rome, April 14. A slight diminution in the figures f or 1930 is due to a falling off in the r eturns from the United States. The e xplanation of the drop in that country is explained by the fact that the figures for the previous year (1929) iniluded several bequests that had matured. The ordinary membership dues .-.nd donations for 1930 equalled those ef 1929. The general total for 1929 was OO.200,819 lire. Referring to the returns, His Eminence said, in part: "And if, indeed, :here is a slight diminution in the alms c ollected, everyone knows well that this is not the fault of the indefatigable zeal of those directing the Society. These directors, on the contrary, are worthy of our enthusiastic praise and a cknowledgment for their remarkable c ourage in overcoming the economic difficulties of the year and their ability to maintain the amount of alms c ollected at an almost normal level. Great stress was laid on careful organisation. both by His Eminence and by His Excellency Archbishop Salotti, Secretary of the Sacred Congregation Propaagnda Fide, and President of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith, who spoke after the Cardinal. ' This is the century of organisation," declared Archbishop Salotti,."and each cne must know the methods of organisation demanded by the present circumstances of life. Whoever is not thoroughly up to date in organisation :7iethods to-clay is destined to die. Our society extends even to the mission c ountries themselves.

His Lordship's object in making this statement is to impress upon his people that the Salford diocese is in dire need of a senior seminary, and needs also a junior seminary.

His Lordship states that the diocese now has 222 ecclesiastical students at c ollege, and is able to announce to his clergy and people that, as a result of their generosity, "we can at last feel assured for the first time in many years that a sufficient number of young priests is being ordained this summer to fill the gaps caused by death." "This year," he says. "we hope to have no fewer than twenty-three priests ordained for Salford—a record number: and next year, if with God's blessing they all persevere in their holy vocation, there should be twenty-five.

Daybreak on Saturday morning saw the arrival of a big contingent of nearly thirty children from Pemberton and the district around, some of them from the mill, some from the Groups, and others from farms nearby. A good breakfast on their arrival assured a doubly warm welcome. Later in the morning the Convent began to look very much like the scene of a fair. Vehicles of all descriptions began to arrive from every direction. motor-lorries pulled lip just long enough to deposit a couple of young. far-away passengers and their luggage: an odd few got a lift in cars, some in the handy runabouts. Group carts formed a prominent part of the procession.

Geraldton Notes CORPUS CHRISTI CELEBRATIONS. A Pageant of Love and Honour to the Icing of Rings. The solemnity of the feast of Corpus Christi was celebrated in Geraldton on Sunday last. Throughout the long calendar of the Year this holy feast is eagerly awaited, for then is given a remarkable demonstration of our Catholic Faith. This year the feast was celebrated in a manner similar to other years, and the piety and great love of Geraldton Catholics for Our Divine Lord was as much in evidence as in previous years. Celebrations commenced immediately after the 7 am. Mass, when the Blessed Sacrament was exposed on the High Altar, and Benediction given, the celebrant being Rev. Father Albrecht. From then until the second Mass at 10 am, a great number watched before Our Lord on the altar. The second Mass was a Missa Cantata, the celebrant being Rev. Father Albrecht, who had come up from Tardun for the ocsasion. The Mass was sung by the Cathedral Choir. The responses were given in good voice, and the choir is to be complimented on its rendering ot the Mass. The Blessed Sacrament was left exposed throughout the balance of the day to 3 p.m., when, after Rosary had been said, the procession uf the Blessed Sacrament was held. From the Cathedral the procession, led by the Cross-bearer (Leo Troy) and the acolytes, proceeded along Cathedral Avenue to Sandford-street, then along that street to the gates of the Stella Mails 'ollege. Following the acolytes came • he boys of the Christian Brothers Col,.ge. each one wearing his red sash. . .lie members of the Sacred Heart Con• .iternity followed—their banner of - he Sacred Heart being borne aloft. he girls of the Presentation Convent and of the Stella Mans College were t hen immediately marching before the Presentation Nuns. Next in order w ere the members of the Sodality of the Children of Mary, all in their blue claaks and white veils, and making a beautiful tableau before the band of HIV angels, who distributed their gifts ! flowers in glorious profusion in the a.ati of Our Divine Lord. The BlessSacrament was borne by Rey. a ther Albrecht. attended by Rev. rothers Greeley and Goggins, as dean and sub-deacon Immediately lot;. ,wing the canopy, which was borne by Messrs. Keeley, Tindal, Nilen and W. Parry, senr. were the members of St, Francis Xavier's Branch of the Hibernian Society and the Cathedral Choir. followed by the men of the parish Arrived at the gates of the College. the procession then proceeded along the pathway to the main entrance door of the building, where an altar had been erected Here Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament was given, after which ceremony the procession returned in its path to the Cathedral, be way of Sandford-street and Cathedral A venue. All the time en route the congregation, led by the Cathedral Choir, rendered praises of Our Divine Lord and His Holy Mother in the various hymns and invocations. The procession arrived back at the main entrance to the Cathedral to the singing of "Sweet Sacrament Divine." Here the Blessed Sacrament was borne aloft t o the outer balcony above the Cathedral. where Benediction was again given, the Benediction hymns being sung by the congregation, assembled on the ground below. After Benediction and during the descent of the priests front the balcony, "Faith of Our Fathers" was rendered by all standing. The procession then entered the Cathedral. where Benediction was again given from the High Altar, brilliantly il luminated and decorated with choicest flowers. Gratification was felt that the rain held off during the progress of the pro cession, and it is felt that had finer weather prevailed throughout the morning a Much larger crowd would have been in attendance on the occasion of the Feast of Corpus Christi, which is the Body of Christ. • The usual fortnightly meeting of St. Francis Xavier's Branch of the Hibernian Society was held in the Cathedral Hall on Thursday night, June 4, The President (Bro.- J. Sullivan) presided After over a very good attendance. the reading of the minutes of the previous meeting, Bro J. Tindal was initiated as a member of the society. It was reported that there was a clean bill to be shown in regard to sick and distressed members. Correspondence was received from the General Secretary, anent hospital cards, and the conditions were explained by the retiring

secretary, Bro. Don. Mitchell. A small account owing to the District Board for goods received was passed for payment. In general business, 13ro. Mulligan proposed that members of the branch should approach the Communion rails in regalia once per month, in lieu of every three months. The benefits and good example of such action were pointed out, and this was agreed upon after being seconded by Bro. G. Parry. There was a little discussion as to which Sunday in the month should be the one for the general Communion of members, and on the motion of Bro. John Wilds', seconded by Bro. C. Maher, it was decided that members would appear in regalia at Holy Communion at first Mass on the third Sunday of each month. This, it was intimated, would not clash with the Communion Sundays of other sodalities in the parish. Bro. Mitchell reported that he had forwarded the nomination of St. Francis Xavier's Branch to the General Secretary for the competition for the rendition of the. President's Charge. Already there haa been one local competition for the rex', dition of this interesting subject, and on next meeting night, Tnursday, 18th. inst.. the final competition will take place. Members who have not received a copy of the President's Charge are asked to obtain theirs from the secretary or assistant secretary. The, election of officers, nominated at the meeting a fortnight before, then took place and resulted as follows: President Bro. J. Sullivan (reelected) ; vicepresident. Bro. L. Bedford: secretary. Bro. T. P. Shanahan: asst. secretar) Sr A. Cook; warden. Bro. N. Mulligan treasurer, Bro. R. C. Tindal; guardian, Bro. J. Crarneri: auditors, Sr. Triat and Bro. Mulligan; sick visitors, Sr. McCagh and Bro. Forkin; . additional members to the social committee were also appointed, and Srs. Killian anti E. Helfer. nan were elected. The installation or the new officers of the branch was then performed by the Past President, Bro R. C. Tindal, who in turn was installed as treasurer by the President. Bro. Sullivan. Proposals were received he three new members. The salary due to the retiring secretary was passed for payment. (awing to the late hour at which the business of the meeting was concluded at was decided to postpone the syllabus item for the night. An interesting item had been arranged, am will be held at a later meeting. Members are reminded that the competition for the rendition of the President'-. Charge is now drawing near, and are

asked to be present in large numbers at the neat meeting on the 18th. inst the that A reminder is also given monthly Communion will take place on All members are Sunday, June 21. urged to be at Holy Communion in regalia on this Sunday. Ellen: "'Ow do you think you'll like your new place?" Maud (very raw maid) : "All right. I've seen one o' the lady's cards. She's only at 'ome every second Tuesday."

THE RECORD.

Prince of Wales Theatre Skilful Direction and Acting Make "French Leave" a Worthy Successor to Splinters." -French Leave." now at the Prince of Wales Theatre, is the fourth British super-film which British Dominions Films Ltd. have released in Australasia. Captain Reginald Berkeley's play, from which the film is adapted, is one of the most brilliant successes of the English stage. Its well constructed plot; the humour and pathos, underlying the story; each character is e ssentially true in conception: the scintillating dialogue, are all factors that have made it an ideal subject for adaptation to the talking picture screen. Jack Raymond enthusiastically accepted the offer to direct, and British Dominion Films, Ltd., resolved that this production should be one which Aould bring added distinction to the British film industry. Every facility was placed at Raymond's disposal. Complete freedom was allowed in the choice of scenarist, cast production assistants, cameramen, and the technical staff. The cast includes Madeleine Carroll, Sydney Howard, and Arthur Chesney, and it may be noted that the " French Leave" unit, when it was in production, was one of the happiest assembly of enthusiastic workers ever engaged in making a talking film. -One Heavenly Night." a merry, frolicsome. gay and witty romantic comedy d.rarna, with music, opens to-day iSaturday at the Prince of Wales Theatre. The title of the piece, "One Heavenly Night.- aptly describes the glorious singing by Evelyn Lave, John Boles, and at times by the entire cast. In no sense a comic opera, it provides t uneful music throughout, and though essentially modern, there is a variety costuming that lends colour and brightness to the atmospheric settings. WANTED.

THE RECORD.

Around the Catholic World A WAR DAMAGED CATHEDRAL. Practically cut in two by artillery during the war, and now completely restored, with the exception of the tower, the magnificent Cathedral of Soissons was reopened on the anniversary of its dedication in the year 1479. The Cathedral was blessed by Mgr. Menneehet, Bishop of Soissons, in the presence of a great gathering of clergy and laity, and Solemn High Mass followed. Pontifical High Mass was celebrated by Cardinal Binet, Archbishop of Besancon, formerly Bishop of Soissons. Other prelates taking part in the ceremonies were the Archbishop of Rheims, Arsinoe, Beauvais and Chalons, in addition to the Bishop of Soissons, who was the preacher. The French Government was represented by the Minister of Fine Arts. After Mass, the ''De Prolundis” was recited for those who died in the war. Pontifical Vespers were followed by a procession of the relics of SS. Crepin and Crepinien, the first martyrs of Soissons, who were put to death in the year 287. BROTHSRS IN ARMS AND IN DRAYS In memory of the soldiers of France and Italy, who died in Rome during the World War, a monument has been unveiled in their burial place, the Campo Verano. The unveiling was preceded by a Solemn Mass, celebrated by the Italian military Bishop, Mgr. Bartolomasi. who, in a patriotic address, spoke of the friendship existing between the two armies and the two nations. Italy was represented at the ceremony by the Governor of Rome, the Ministers for War and the Marine, and the Commander-in-Chief, and France by the French Ambassador and his military attache.

This year's walk from Newgate to Tyburn, by the members of the Guild of Our Lady. of Ransom, in honour of more than 100 martyrs who died for the Faith during the 16th. and 17th. centuries, despite threatening weather. was most successfully and reverently carried out. The pilgrims assembled near the site of the Church of the Grey Friars, which flourished from the 12th. century till the period of the "Reformation." and at the appointed hour the processionists commenced the long walk to the site of the Tyburn Gallows. where so many of the martyrs suffered and followed the route over which the champions of the Faith were dragged on hurdles to the scaffold. As the procession proceeded it was joined by hundreds and had attained considerable dimensions when Tyburn Convent was reached. Many clergy, nuns, veteran members of the Guild, and a large contingent of juveniles, also Knights of St. Columba, members of the St. Vincent de Paul Society, Guild of Israel, Scouts, and Girl Guides took part in the demonstration, which concluded with Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament given from the balcony of the Tyburn Convent.

OU NEED NOT FEAR THE 'FLU NOW. We claim DEFINITELY that two or three 'ASPRO' Tablets every three hours with a HOT LEMON DRINK on going to bed WILL smash up a COLD OR 'FLU ATTACK IN ONE NIGHT. The reason is because 'ASPRO,' after ingestion in the system, is an anti-pyretic—fever -destroyer, anti-periodic and an internal antiseptic. That's why it gives results. (If it is the sore throat form of Influenza bat you have, use 'ASPRO' as a gargle). Proof that 'ASPRO' fulfils its claims is evidenced by the many testimonials received. Furthermore. 'ASPRO,' being a solvent of Uric Acid, is a most valuable antidote for Rheumatism. 'ASPRO' action is quick and effective. Influenza and Colds are banished at their inception—Rheumatism in one night—ordinary Nerve Pains, such as Toothache, Headache, etc., disappear in a few minutes. Try 'ASPRO' and prove it for yourself. Make it your home medicine. 31.

Our Special Business RECONSTRUCTION AND DISCONTENT. Throughout the vast stretches of the British Empire. and, indeed, in every climate, there are mutterings of discontent—the common people are experiencing the oppression of those altered conditions that are now reforming the economics of the capitalistic system. The masses everywhere watch with lowering brows the machinations of the high priests of Mammon, and the support given to them by legislation. Rightly or wrongly the masses are prejudiced against them, and in their poverty, whatever plans are initiated for the amelioration of the present world slump, they feel that they are to be further impoverished. Neither the high priests of capital nor legislators seem to be giving particular attention to the condition of the masses, and as a consequence social unrest is growing and a problem greater than the preservation of national prestige and credit threatens to become a screeching evil. •

•

With the problems of other lands Australians are not just now Their own immediate virries are enough materially interested. It must be confessed they have tnen them with a for them. devil-may-care attitude up to the present. But the time has come when they must square their shoulders and prepare to meet their problems deliberately and seriously. We have come up with crossroads, and we must be prepared to decide the safest and best way Lack of interest and coto national progress and prosperity. operation on the part of the people with Parliamentary Administration must end only one way—financial chaos and widespread social discontent. The latter must be avoided as carefully as a viper's sting. It is the death-draught of national life. In the conferences that have taken place between the heads of Government in this country to evolve a plan for counteracting the evils of the present financial. breakdown, we fear not too much consideration was given to the burdens already pressing upon the lower grades of the working classes. The big financial interests can very well look after themselves. and do, but the crowd on the bread line are the people invariably forgotten by legislators, because presumed to be helpless factors in maintaining the balance between social progress and decay. Yet they may make by inflicted poverty a tremendous nut for legislators to crack. The question of equality of sacrifice may- not work out so excellently well when a father on the bread line comes home with his week's pay and finds too heavy- the burden of feeding. clothing, and educating a family on what "equality of sacrifice" has left him. A nd our old people, who have been so unfortunate as to grow old and incapable of providing for their poor wants—they, too, must co-operate with the saviours of the Honour of the Nation by submitting to a 20 per cent. cut in their pittance. The hot flush of shame should touch the brows of the big bondholders who are privileged to escape their share in the "equality of sacrifice." when they reflect upon this submerged section of our great Commonwealth and theft compulsory contribution to its financial restoration. • The masses throughout the world are stirred by grave apprehensions because in every fiscal upset they have been the real victims of legislative reorganisation. Captitalisin to-day is making a determined stand for supremacy, and the social condition of the masses, which showed some improvement under organisation, is being threatened with a serious setback. It is not wise for legislators to break down to a condition of pauperdom the workers of a country, and our legislators should see to it that in the pro posed reconstruction the Australian worker has a fair living wage. so that the menace of social unrest is removed.

"The Liturgy is certainly a sacred thing. Through it we are raised to God and are united to Him. The faithful come to the sacred places of worship to draw piety from its chief source by active participation in the Eucharistic Sacrifice. It is really necessary that the faithful should not assist at the sacred ceremonies like outsiders or mute spectators."—Pope Pius XI. Answer the call of the Pope. Learn to use a Missal at Mass.

Not succeeding, he delivered the boy up to the Governor, who did his utmost to enforce obedience. St. Vitus managed to escape, and with Crescentia and Modestus fled to Italy.

Soon after Diocletian became Emperor, in A.D. 284. they were condemned to be beheaded. Their friends obtained a delay of thirty days in the hope of inducing them to deny the Faith. Their wives, their parents. and other persons begged them to yield; on the other hand, they were daily encouraged lw the visits of St. Sebastian, an officer of the Emperor's household. The result of the delay was that the father, mother. and wives of the two saints were converted. So, too, was the magistrate who had con. dentned them.

This. his father's wish, was wondrously tidrifled; for is not the name of elloy-• 'ins Gorizagnit held in veneration t hroughout the world? But the glory which Don Fernando expected him to achieve was of a very different order. He himself was a military leader, and desired his eon to follow the same career. Don Fernando realised that the child must pursue a course of study. As the years passed Aloysitts spent far more time at his books and at prayer than his father would have wished. Yet there was about him a dignity awl grace of hearing, an ease of manne, a depth and firmness of character that. t he Marquis's mind, more than compensated for his excees of piety and leve of retirement. A few years at • t he Court of Madrid would remove t hese defects. So Aloysius became a ioyal page and lived amid gaiety and splendour. The result was that he ;iecame more aver* to such things t han ever, more determined to resist the allurements of the world, more con-. rimed that there could be no half-waY c,aise for him. Not that Aloysius had naturally a distaste for fine spectacles, gorgeous clothes, and sport. On the contrary, the accounts Written in his early boyhood show that, he keenly enjoyed them. The Gonzagnas were a . passionate, ambitious, tenacious race, among whom family feuds and even bloodshed were by no means uncommon. Aloysius possessed the characteristic family traits, and he dirt-cud them with all the energy of his soul t owards the service of God. That hiz austerity did not make him unlovabe is evident from the affectionate we' come he received from the tenants and dependants of Castiglione whenever he returned home.

Aloysius stood the test. and the discovery of his extraordinary mortifications caused the father to give his consent, and Aloysius legally signed a way his birthright in favour of his brother Rodolfo.

There his greatest ambition was t o be hidden. Nothing was more mortifying to him than to be reminded of his former rank. His time in the Society was but short. He took the vows, received Minor Orders, then. at the age of 23, he contracted plague while ministering to the stick, and died its effects

The first week of the Interest Month for Castledare is over, and the results are gratifying. With a wider distribution of tickets, and a better broadcasting of the advantages to buyer and to charity of the concession rates, the second week should prove much more satisfactory, financially for Castledare. Again, we must emphasise that Castledare is a diocesan liability, and therefore deserves the support of every parish. We thank most sincerely the priests who explained and recommended the scheme to their people last Sunday. We respectfully request them to mention this easy way of helping to .meet the interest bill due this year. The interest bill is £718 16s, which goes on to the overdraft unless we can meet it this year. The Scheme Explained. I. For four weeks, beginning June 2nd., and ending July 3rd., you can help Castledare by going to the Prince of Wales Theatre. 2 If you are going to the Talkies, then go to the Prince of Wales Theatre, and buy your tickets from us. 3.

Our congratulations are extended to Sacred Heart School on their successes last week-end. Miss Jean Glover was successful in both the open and under 16 Singles, and is in the final of the Doubles.

H.A.C.B. Society DISTRICT BOARD. The fortnightly meeting was held on the 9th. inst., the District President, Bro. E. A. Clarke, presiding over Bros. Edwards, G.S., Sister D. M. Gilbertson, D.T., Bros. S. J. O'Halloran. D.G., Hynes, D.M., Creighton, D.M., Whitely, D.M., and O'Mahony, R.D.T. Apologies were received for non-attendance from the District Vice-President, Bro. W. A. Brown, Bro. J . W. O'Brien, P.D.P., and Bro. Rampant, D.W. Correspondence from branches showed, generally speaking, a quickening of interest on the pan of the members, and refreshing evidence of more virile life in the branches' activities. This is especially so in the case of St. Munchin's, Collie, and St. Francis Xavier's, Geraldton. That the efforts of the members will continue to be successful is the earnest wish of the District officers. As has already been pointed out, the financial year is drawing to a close and the General Secretary asks branch secretaries to ensure the receipt at the District office of all dues and monies due for goods before the 27th June, in order that all branches' figures may be included in the accounts. The great Distiret competition for the rendition of the President's Charge will take place at the Cathedral Hall on Friday, the 26th. inst., at S p.m. There has been a very good entry for the competition. and members generally are now urged to make this innovation a success by attending in full force. Members of the society generally were very sorry to hear of the death of the father of the District Vice-President, Bro. W. A. Brown, and on behalf of the society the members' sincere sympathy is conveyed to him, On Monday, the 9th. inst., members were shocked at the news of the sudden death of Bro. Pat O'Connor. Past National Treasurer. Bro. O'Connor was one of the members of the only National !Directory that Western Australia has ever supplied, and he and his confreres, Bro. O'Dea P.N P., and Bro. Dowling. P.N.S_ have always been foremost in their endeavours to assist in the advancement in the society. Some of us were in very close touch with Bro. O'Connor, and his sudden demise leaves a void in our society that will be noticed for years to come. To his widow and family we extend our most sincere sympathy. and pray that Almighty God may have mercy on his soul. The District Board will make its official visit to Star of the Sea Branch, Fremantle, on Monday next, the 15th. inst. St. Mary's Branch, LeedervMe. The half-yearly meeting was held on Wednesday. the 3rd inst.. the President (Sister Nora Joyce) presiding over a good attendance of members. Sick pay was passed for three members. Bro. Greg. Leddin reported on the activities of the Facial and sports committee, and asked that the branch suggest subjects for the inter-branch debates that are to be held at the end of the other branch competitions It was decided to leave the matter in abeyance until the next meeting, when suggestions will be f orthcoming. The most important question of organising was considered, and as a commencement it was decided that members be asked to submit to the next meeting a list of the Catholic friends and acquaintances, and even parishioners who they do not personally know, and then certain members will he detailed to approach the persons listed with a view to enticing them to join the branch. It is hoped by these means to introduce a considerable number of new members. The final branch competition for the rendition of the President's Charge will take

Sister Joyce, in responding, said that she had felt highly honoured at being entrusted with the presidentship The work had been very pleasurable to her, and she hoped to be always able to assist to the gest of her ability in forwarding the interests of the branch and the society.

Condon was a member of the branch for thirty-three years, and always showed a very keen interest in its affairs. May his soul rest in peace. Arrangements in connection with the social and dance, of the 1st. inst.. caused considerable discussion. It is hoped that the attendance at the next meeting will be exceptionally good, as the District Board will pay their annual visit to the branch on that night, June 15th. The usual business will commence at 7.30 The results of the election of officers are as follows: President. Bro. Alford: vice-president, Sr. McCorry: secretary, Bro. O'Brien; treasurer, Bro.

During the meeting the final rendition of the President's Charge was conducted, and two delegates elected. Bro.

Those of the members who were unable to be present are reminded that this branch meets St. Patrick's Junior, on our next meeting night. Quoits are to be pla)-ed on that night. Though the parent branch had a victory on the OCCAS/011 of our last visit for the table tennis portion of the competition, St. Patrick's Junior branch will not have such an easy time at quoits on the 22nd. inst. The trial game after the meeting IMS such as to make it almost impossible to pick a team, as all showed up well. Members, don't forget that it will be a "pound night" next meeting, also that the meeting opens at 7.30 p.m., instead i f S p.m. Business over, the meeting closed, and all adjourned to quoits. table tennis, or cards till about 10.30 St. Canite's Branch, Cottadoe.

The past president, Bro. McKenney. Snr., then installed the various officers into their positions. Further discussion arose regarding the dance to be held on July 1, and if the interest displayed by members be any criterion, the function should undoubtedly be a huge success.

i-IE RECORD.

The Saint of Molokai A GREAT RELIGIOUS FOURDRESS. Life of Mother Mary of the Cross. Particular interest is attached to the life story of Mother Mary of the Cross. She was the foundress of an Order of Nuns in Australia, the Australian Sisters of St. Joseph. Moreover, she played a noble part in the history of the still youthful Australian Church, a part which brought her into contact with many whose names will always loom large in the pages of that history. The story of her life, written by the Rev. George O'Neill, S.J., MA., of Corpus Christi College, Melbourne, was recently published. Mary McKillop was burn in Fitzroy on January 15, 1842, and died in SydHer parents. ney on August 8, 1909. Andrew and Flora McKillop, were Scottish. They were snarled in St. Francis' Church. then comparatively new, by Father Geoghegan, .0.S.F., who in 1 39, had celebrated the first Mass said in Melbourne, and who was afterwards to become the second Bishop of Ades 'aide. Mary was baptised also in St. Francis' on January 28th. Her childhood days. rendered somewhat unhappy by the vicissitudes of fortune. which the family experienced, were characterised by piety, by a spirit of kindliness and charity, and by a horror of any deliberate fault. When still a young girl, she became a teacher in the Catholic school at Portland, and during the few years which followed, she frequently met Father Julian Ternson Woods, that remarkable man, whose story has already been told by He was then in Father O'Neill. charge of the district of Penola, about 00 miles from Portland, And was to have a great influence in shaping the course of Mary McKillop's life. With two of her sisters she went to teach at Panda, at Father Woods' request. Her early inclination towards the religious life. and Father Woods' desire to found an order, devoted to the cause of Catholic education, brought about the foundation in Adelaide, in 1867, of the Sisters of St. Joseph. From that time enwarcls the story of Mother Mary's life is also the story of the development of the Sisters of St. Joseph, of the trials and difficulties they encountered, and of the splendid things they accomplished. All this is admirably told in Father O'Neill's "Life.' By the frequent use of letters, and of extracts from letters, the author contrives to tell much of the story in the words of Mother Mary herself, and of those associated with her. It is a story of undaunted courage and of splendid faith. The difficulties she had to encounter, and the opposition she met with, even from those from whom she had most to hope, would have overcome anyone but a woman of extraordinary strength of character. Her faith and her confidence in prayer knew no bounds. She had been given the name of Mother Mary of the Cross. and no name has ever been more appropriately bestowed. The success which ultimately crowned her efforts, and the spiritual legacy she left, serve to prove further the wonderful ways of Divine Providence. This book is not only a very interesting biography. but also one more contribution towards the history of the Church in A ustralia —E S. "Life of Mother Mary of the Gross (McKillop). Rev. George O'Neill, S.1 MA. Pellegrini and Co Melbourne 122,161 OUR LADY'S BEDSTRAW. All over Britain there flourishes a modest herb known as Our Lady's Bedstraw, or Yellow Bedstraw. Before the Birth of Christ. they say, it had a white flower; but when placed in the Manger to provide a soft bed for the Infant Christ, the colour of the flower changed to living gold, since then it has shone like an imprisoned sunbeam. Two thousand years ago it was customary to sleep on hay and soft grasses, and the Bedstraw family earned their name by proving the most suitable plants for this purpose. But there were other dried grasses in the Manger. The French believe that the crimson sainfoin received its warm: colour on the first Christmas Eve, when it shone as a rscl halo around the tiny Head.

They called him a saint. He was— to the lepers and to all others who knew of his work on the lonely rock of Molokai. So when Brother Joseph Dutton entered recently into the larger brotherhood, all creeds the world over united in paying him tribute. Once the dashing Ira Dutton, Civil War veteran and successful business man, as the Associated Press recalls, he forsook the world and sought atonement for a life that, apparently, had not been particularly sinful, and devoted forty-four years to the care of the lepers on the Island of Molokai. It was his last port of call on the way to eternal life, but ships plying between San Francisco' and Honolulu always stood out from that rugged coast. And strange as it may seem to worldSings, Brother Joseph's happiest years were there. -Am almost ashamed to say am inclined to he jolly." he wrote when he was eighty-three. "Often think we don't know that Our Lord ever laughed, and my laugh is ready to burst out any minute." He died at eighty-seven, three Years short of the span he had anticipated when he said once that his life represented "forty-five years down and forty-five years up.His is a strange story. He went to Hawaii in 1886, to be associated with Father Joseph Damien, the Belgian monk, who became a leper himself while working among the lepers, and whose name is linked with the modern martyrs. He succeeded Father Joseph when the latter died in 1889, and never left his charges until he was taken to a hospital in Honolulu for treatment, ,His reason for his sacrifice remained a mystery until 1926, when, as a wireless dispatch to the New York "Times" informs us, he revealed that he had made his choice after a vow to God. 'Tears of sowing wild oats." he said, "made me decide to give the remainder of my life in volunteer penance to work at some retired place without pay." So on that wedge of rocky, grassy land which, on a clear day, may be seen across the rough channel from Diamond Head on Oahu, he spent his life. As the Associated Press carries on the fine story: "In Honolulu people called him "the Saint from Vermont.' and 'the Saint of Molokai' "Often they sent him the newest magazines and books. They wrote him details of the newest motor-cars and airplanes and of the latest inventions, for from the time that he went to the island in 1886 until he left it last summer to become a patient in the 'Queen's Hospital, Honolulu, fins ther Joseph never left his station. "In • 1909 the whole American fleet sailed by Molokai in the daylight as a tribute to 'a brave man and a brave soldier,' and in 1929 the House of Representatives of Hawaii passed a resolution thanking Brother Joseph for his 'inspiring work and service.' "It is against all practises of the Roman Catholic Church to refer to a living man as •a saint. particularly if that person, as in the case of Brother Joseph, has once been a lieutenant, a printer, and a drug-store clerk. Nevertheless, one of the editors of "The Catholic World" last year had this to say; " 'Canonisation in the Church is an exceedingly slow process, involving the utmost care in examination of facts: so that sainthood, for all its timeliness, suggest= itself as something remote. something related to the early Christian era. To regard a living man as a future candidate to the ranks of the blest requires a measure of daring. Still one may, I feel, look on Joseph Dutton in this light without fear of mockery:" Born as Ira Dutton of a Protestant family at Stows. Vermont, we read, he went as a chill to live in Wisconsin. He joined the 13th. Wisconsin Voltm. teers in the Civil War, and by the time of Appomattox had reached the grade of lieutenant. He remained in the Army two years more, assisting in the c onstruction of the national cemeteries

at Shiloh and Corinth. He joined the Roman Catholic Church, was baptised as Joseph instead of Ira, and studied at the Trappist Monastery at Gethsemane, Kentucky. He took his final vows in St. Louis, and then went to New Orleans. While there he learned of Father Damien's work, and, we read on: "Brother Joseph journeyed to San Francisco and departed in a sailing ship for Honolulu. "There, kneeling at the feet of Hishop Hermann Koeckemann, he sought and obtained permission to be sent to Kalaupapa. "Three years before Brother Joseph's landing. Father Damien had developed leprosy, and thereafter had begun all his sermons with 'We lepers.' Brother ,lisseph cared for Father Damien, fearlessly, exposing himself to infection. -Near the end he took over all of Father Damien's work, and when death came to his co-worker, in 1889, Brother Joseph dug his grave and rounded it off. "Both Brother Joseph and Father Damien were friends of Robert Louis Stevenson, and one of Stevenson's most embittered philippics was issued in defence of Father Damien's career. It is printed in his 'Lay Morals.'" Thus Brother Joseph followed the way of the Master, and, as the Newark "Evening News" says: "Molokai took him, and Molokai held him until the summons he had so long awaited came Such lives seem incredible to the less sacrificing in spirit. "Amid the graves on Molokai of those whom in life he tended with unfaltering zeal, Brother Joseph will lie faithful to the end—and beyond.

Mayor's Blasphemy and Burlesque. At the small town of Nuevo Urecho, in the State of Michoacan, there has just taken place a gross desecration of a church, which has roused the people of the town. The Mayor on a recent Sunday morning. went into the church, accompanied by the secretary of the Municipality. and both conducted themselves in a most offensive manner. Entering the sacristy the Mayor ransacked the parish archives and scattered papers all over the floor. Then, with the assistance of the secretary, he burlesqued the Sacrament of Penance in one of the confessionals. Next, before the Tabernacle, he uttered blasphemous things. The priest was not present. but was told of these indignities when he arrived a little later. After celebrating the Holy Sacrifice, the pastor, without comment, went before a notary and s wore to a statement denouncing the action of the Mayor to judical authority. The local judge refused to take any action, and an appeal was made to the court of the fitit instance in the town of Ario de Rosales, the immediate superior authority. In reprisal. the Mayor ordered suspension of electric light service in the church. This arbitrary act aroused indignation among Catholics, and a cganinittee of women called upon the Mayor, asking him as the highest authority of the town to respect their religious sentiments, and to revoke his order, thereby restoring electricity to t he church. The Mayor replied in insulting terms that "no one can oppose m y will, and, if importunate demands continue, I shall close and destroy the church" Some members of the committee attempted to argue with the official, whereupon he became most abusive A shot was fired, but no one was wounded This attitude on the pars of the Mayor led Catholics to appeal to the Governor, but no redress was , ibtained.

It is only in Heaven, where the soul. set free from the conditions of the present life, sees God face to face, that the precept is accomplished quite perfectly. As for the degree of the perfection compatible with the present life, it demands -the exclusion of everything repugnant to the movement of love towards God. This is realised when a man excludes from his affection not only everything incompatible with the existence of charity, such as mortal sin, but also everything which prevents the affection of the soul being directed wholly upon God, 'quod impedit me affectus mentis tutaliter dirisatur and Drum Maritain-Thorold THE FREEDOM OF CHOICE. The beauty of spiritual works is also enhanced by their liberty of action. The sea, the mountains, and the heavens have not the power to be other than they are created, but the virtuous soul is beautiful because it wills to be so. The Lord has wrought marvels in the making of this great universe out of nothing, but the material world could offer Him no resistance. He works a far greater miracle in helping an intelligent creature to perform a virtuous act which he is at liberty not to perform. Although this act belongs to the creature who has freely accomplished it, nevertheless it comes from God, and is a manifest proof of His power, goodness, and wisdom. It is the more so because this supernatural w ork is generally effected against a natural inclination. There is, as a rule, more merit in the practice of virtue than there is malice in sin. For sin costs nothing: the sinner but yields to his inclinations. As the boatman, descending the river, has no need to row or to make any effort, so the sinner has only to follow the current of his corupt nature in order to give himself up to vice.--Saudreau-Bidwell.

THE MOST INEVITABLE. There are many difficulties in life. Some men have more, some less. But the most fearful of all no one can get rid of: namely, that of having to deal with God. To have to deal with God is a necessity as awful as it is indubitable and unavoidable. Contrast His reality with our untruth. His power with our weakness. His law with our disobedience. Enumerate His known perfections, remembering that there is no great or small with His because of His immensity and completeness. Analyse His tremendous sanctity, and meditate separately on every element of it, its awful minuteness, its unbearable purity, its unspeakable sensitiveness, its terrific jealousy. On our side there is a multitudinous fertility, day and night, of thought, word, work omission, and intention: on His side, the noting of all this, the stern requisition of an invariably pure intention, the strict account, the severity of the punishment, the eternity of the doom, and the infallible inevitableness of it all.— Faber. 3.
