LATEST NEWS FROM IRELAND
Dr. Downey in Derry Enthusiastic
The Archbishop of Liverpool, the Most Rev. Dr. Downey, visited Derry recently on the invitation of St. Columb's College Union, and in the evening in the Guildhall he .delivered a lecture, his subject being "Pleasure and Pain." The spacious hall was crowded. In the unavoidable absence of the Most Rev. Dr. O'Kane, Bishop of Derry, the Rev. Dr. Farren, President, On St. Columb's College, presided. arrival at the hall Dr. Powney was accorded Scout honours by a company of Catholic Boy Scouts, and when he entered the hall he was greeted by a massed choir of almost two hundred voices. As a compliment to the Archbishop, who is a native of Kilkenny, the choir sang "Where the Nure's dark waters flow." Dr. Farren, introducing Dr. Downey, said that Dr. Downey had instilled a new feeling into the Catholics of England, dispelling the inferiority complex, and he thought his visit to Derry might instil even greater enthusiasm into the Such a visit, if Catholics of Derrythey were living in normal times, would mean a civic reception, but under the present conditions the heartto-heart welcome given him was more valuable. The lecturer said that during the Great War they were told that the only religion that would survive would be one from which all idea of a God to whom anybody was responsible had vanished—a sort of religion of platitudes suitable for reproduction in illustrated Sunday papers. The reason was the evils connected with the war. All the war readily did, however, was to make a few people think who never thought before. After dealing with various theories on good and evil, he referred to Nietzche, "the Prophet of Defiance," and said that his was simply the policy of the mailed fist and that might was right. "I would not like you to think that this policy has its spiritual home only in Germany," said Dr. Downey. "You

will find the theory in fully-fledged operation much nearer to Deny. This optimistic theory as a solution of the problem of evil is even worse than pessimism, because where it does touch The problem it is only to widen it by giving us more evils, as you witness at present, the results of the European War. The economic evils to-day are very largely traceable to this theory, which certainly has been governing the policies of nations." It seemed to him," he continued ' that midway between these two Pagan e xtremes of pessimism and optimism, one had the time-honoured view of the lie called them Catholic Church. Pagan extremes because God played no part in them. Both Schopenhauer and Nietzche had their eyes glued upon the earth. They sought for a solunon of the eternal problem in time way, and, therefore, could not find it; but it was beyond the stars one must Look if one was even to understand the problem. As ear as they could see, it was the free love of the creature that God desired, and that gave them an inkling as to why God chose this order in which sin and suffering were It seemed that, notwithpossible. standing the real evils which did abound and afflicted them on every side, that this universe simply teemed with evidence of the infinitely good God who called it into being, not for their greater pleasure, but for His own greater honour and glory. Dr. Farren said that all these pro-day were settled long ago blems ot to by Catholic doctrine. Senator McLoughlin proposed a vote of thanks, and the Very Rev. Dr. McShane, Omagh, seconding, said that t heir distinguished visitor had undertaken building a cathedral in honour of Christ the King, costing nearly as much as would a first-class battleship in honour of the pagan god of war. The proceedings concluded with the singing of "Faith of Our Fathers" by the entire assembly.
Bolshevism in Ireland Checking a Growing Evil
Russian propaganda in the Irish Pree State has become so pronounced and dangerous, that the attention of public bodies and ecclesiastics is being -eriously directed towards checking it before it becomes a serious menace. The wonder is that the Government has been so tolerant to this dangerous enemy within its gates.
reads that 'religion only leads to obscuring the child's mind.' 'Parents must be prevented from implanting in their children the poison of religion,' The Temptation. "Surely if not fur God's sake, then for our own, for sake of the human race, for the dignity of manhood we ought to pray and work that this degradation and depravity may cease, that they may not spread. It is sought to spread them, to spread them in every country; in our own it has its They are not agents everywherepreaching atheism or immorality. No, the head centre is too astute for such, it is following in the steps of the first deceiver of the human race, it is holding out liberty and earthly gain. You Why has God forbidden you? shall be free and exalted; the temptation tried even on the Son of These will I give you if you fall down and adore me.' "These are the baits held out by the propagandists, liberty, power, possessions, riches, and let nothing stand in your way to gain them, not even the law of God or the life of your fellow beings. If this is not preached open. ly, the warnings of those in authority are derided. Bishops are made little of in a way that will appeal to the ignorant, their acts and words distorted, all with a view to discount their moral teaching, to lead the young and thoughtless to disregard them when they warn ' them againgt unlawful means, that they cannot break God's laws to gain their ends."
The baneful influence of Bolshevism o n religion and the attempts in Russia to keep from the children all knowledge of God or Christianity, drew forth a strong denunciation from the Right Rev. Mgr. Segrave, P.P., V.G., Drogheda, preaching in St. Peter's Church last monthAdvising the congregation to make a practice of reciting the Rosary each day, and recalling to their minds the request of the Pope for prayers for Russia, Mgr. Segrave said in Russia those designing men with a huge army, had lowered their fellow beings to the state of animals. God made the family and ordained love and respect between fathers and mothers and chitthen. These men had broken up the family and gathered the members into camps„where they were herded and fed like animals. "They had nothing of their own," he continued. "all belong to the State; they had no home, they do not own their children, they do not own even themselves, they are the slaves of the State. The Deception.

Million in
Procession
Altar-Cloth from Belfast. It is estimated that the procession of the Most Blessed Sacrament, on Sunday, June 26, at the Congress celebra. tions next year, will last about five hours, and that more than a million members of the laity and five thousand clergy will participate. The Monstrance with the Sacred Host will be carried by the Cardinal Legate in a triumphal car. The distance from the altar in Phoenix Park to that on O'Connell Bridge, where the Benediction will be given, is about three miles, and is therefore too great to permit of carrying the Most Blessed Sacrament while walking. The triumphal car will be drawn by students and accompanied by leading personages of the State. A prie-dieu will be fixed in the centre of the car, at which the Cardinal Legate will kneel while holding the Monstrance. Members of the American hierarchy to the number of eleven will travel by the U.S. Line steamship chartered by C olumban's Mission, Nebraska. They are the Archbishops of Dubuque, Most Rev. Dr. Beckman; Milwaukee, Most Rev. Dr. Stritch; and New Orleans. Most Rev. Dr. Shaw: and the Bishops of Buffalo, Right Rev. Dr- Turner; Davenport, Right Rev. Dr. Rohlmann; Erie. Right Rev.

A Deny Project. If the Catholics of Derry desirous of visiting Dublin (luring the Eucharistic Congress take advantage of a thrift movement that has been inaugurated in the city, few of them will find their pecuniary circumstances a bar to the i tilfilment of their desires The idea of t he movement, which has the Rev. H. Bradley, C.C., Long Tower, as spiritual director, is to accumulate weekly savings of members towards the expense o f attending the Congress. Subscriptions of Is. and upwards will be accepted each week. The Executive of the Irish National Teachers' Organisation have decided to make arrangements to hold a reception during the Eucharistic Congress for teachers from overseas who will visit Dublin on that occasion. Rowe for Belfast. The altar-cloth to be used at the t 'ongress will be made of Belfast linen. The beautiful and intricate Celtic designs which will embellish it have been devised by a Belfast artist, and the embroidery work will be carried out by Belfast workers. Some time ago a committee was formed for the purpose of making a presentation to the Congress Committee. The latter was asked to accept an altar.loth mar', of the finest linen This o ffer was graciously accepted, and an artist who occupies a very prominent position in Belfast was engaged to draw up a design. This he has just cornpleteo, ano recently he travelled to Dublin to submit the drawings to the Congress Committee. Official sanction once obtained, the work will be put in the hands of the embroiderers. When finished the work will be exhibited in Belfast and in Dublin. The Baltimore Pilgrimage. An enthusiastic report of the progress being made in the preparations for the C ongress has been made by the Rev. Dr. John K. Cartwright, assistant pastor of St. Patrick's Church, Washington, and chaplain of the Baltimore Archdiocesan Pilgrimage to the Congress. who has just returned from Dublin, where he came to prepare for the pilgrimage which he will lead.
Dr. Cartwright said that as far as human forethought could be relied upon, the successful direction of the great multitude that would be present is assured. FRENCH CATHOLICS AND IRELAND. Under the auspices of the "Mission Catholique Universitaire francaise" ( the French Catholic University Mission) a delegation of French Catholic University professor and graduates visited Ireland during the first week of October. The members of the delegation delivered lectures at University College. Dublin, on subjects of Catholic interest and then conferred with Catholic professors and students, with a view to promoting understanding and co-operation between Catholic University students and professors in both countries and elsewhere. The Mission was founded in Paris 10 years ago by Canon Bottinelli, and has the full approbation of the ecclesiastical authorities, and is, at present, under the patronage of Cardinal Verdier, Archbishop of Paris. Since its inception the Mission has sent delegations to several European countries. The visit last month was the first paid to Ireland. The delegation was led by the Abbe de la Vacquerie (Chaplain to the International Catholic Students' Hosteli and will be composed mostly of brilliant young laymen from the French universities who are anxious to establish contact with Catholic leaders in Irish scholastic circles. All the arrangements for the visit were made by Dr. Coffey and the Governing Body of University College, Dublin, in conjunction with the French Legation.

The Canticle of the Sun is a mystic page poem, composed by St. Francis of Assisi, in a little reed hut, erected for him in the garden of St. Darnian's Convent, when he was on his last visit t o St. Clare, and was afflicted by an attack of illness and blindness. It consists of eleven lines of praise, in which the Saint shows how the goodness of God is reflected in all creation. Since creatures are formed in the image of God, they are bound in turn to dispense His goodness. Douai Deuai is a French town the river Scarpe, and was the seat of the famous University suppressed during the French Revolution. The name is familiar to English-speaking Catholics, because of the English College founded there by Cardinal Allen, in 1568. To this college is largely due the religious training of the English clergy in penal times, and the preservation of the Faith in England. There also was begun the Douay version of the BibleDuring the French Revolution the English fled from Douai to England: but the Anglo-Benedictines maintained a school there until 1903.
The Catholic team argued that secondary education provided by the State was a usurpation of parental rights; that the expenditure was more than the State could reasonably afford: and that it created the extreme disabilities under which the private secondary school was labouring.

Pombay (India I .----Newspapers of the country have reacted favourably on the audiences granted by His Holiness Pope Pius XI., to Sir Albion Banerji and to Sir Mirza Ismail. The interest shown is a happy sign of the great ro•spect in which the Pope is held by the people at large. The following is from t he "Times of India": " 'India shall have our prayers,' said the Pope in a private audience granted to Sir Albion Banerji. Alluding to the present day problems, the Pope told Sir Albion that he was particularly happy to welcome to his house, 'which is the house of all,' a representative of a great people now going through tribulation. He trusted that India's troubles would soon be ended. Sir Albion thanked His Holiness for the magnificent work done by Catholic missions in India, irrespective of the religion of those they help.

How the Vatican Strove for Peace OLD WAR UNTRUTH P.EPEATILD. Old untruths, like the seasons, reappear. if not with regularity, at least with certainty. Again and again, and yet again, the fact has been established that Pope Pius X. did all in his power to preserve peace in 1914, when the European nations let loose the dogs of war, and that several times afterwards he made formal attempts to bring the warring countries to a stoppage of the unparalleled carnage. But no nation would listen to the earthly representative of the Prince of Peace, and, as secret documents, since published, prove, his successor was refused any voice in the counsels at Versailles, from which issued the unjust and infamous peace "settlement" for which the world is so heavily paying to-day. An Absurd Untruth. A report in the "Argus" states that at the annual general meeting of the Congregational Union of Western Australia, a speaker, the Rev. N. Richards, said: that, with certain exceptions, the whole Christian Church during the Great War was silent concerning the • sin of war. The Pope, the head of a great international Church, had had an opportunity to say that the Roman Catholic Church meant. to stand for peace, but he was silent and the national churches of the world, particularly of Germany and England, took national points of They prayed for peace, but view. always with the underlying thought that it must come through a smashing victory. We are not concerned at the moment with what "national churches" did during the World War: but it is untrue. and absurdly untrue, to say that the Pope "was silent." Grief over the international conflict undoubtedly hastened the death of Pius X•, whose pro• testations for peace were ignored by His successor. Benedict the Powers. XV. was not listened to any more readily than Pius X. had been. In January. 1915, Benedict issued a c onsistorial allocution on the war and the need for peace. This could herrn% be called preserving silence. The onls response by each of the combatant parties was the condemnation of the Holy Father because he had not supported its cause. Pope Benedict's Peace Proposals. Had tile belligerent Powers accepted t he peace proposals of Benedict, issued in August. 1917. a year of agony, bloodshed, and horror would have been saved to the world. In view of all that has happened since Pope Benedict made his proposal to settle the war and launch the peace upon the basis of reason and justice. determined through a general settlement c onference rather than by the might of the victors, would it not be well for our present-day state9 men to re-read the Pope's proposal for peace in August, 1917, and to considet it in the light of events and with the dispassion which is possible fourteen years after the conflict which frenzied all mankind? The essential difference between the peace proposal of Pope Benedict and the settlement which was made at Vervailles was that the Pope sought a peace which, determined upon the basis of reason and justice. could be generally agreed upon rather than a peace imposed by victors. Had They Listened. Thirteen years have elapsed since the V ersailles peace was imposed by the might of antis and the international arrangements were made to maintain the treaty settlements by military and economic force.

PERTH. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1931.
Banishing a King The new culture in Spain. ty pined by the Republicrur Gov emmeat, has set itself the task if transforming the national life of Spain and its centuries of tradition into a • ationaliseci life which finds its parallel in the godless Deformation of unhappy Russia. And to begin with, the Cortes have indicted ex-King Alfonso for having allowed the nation to be handed over to the "unconstitutional caprices" of a dictator, and are aiming at his perpetual exile Ex-King Alfonso need not anticipate any from his native land. Cortes, which is mostly constituted of from the chivalry old-time lawyers, journalists, a few doctors, and a flavouring of trade "In the whole union agitators. His condemnation is assured.

"It is," he further says, "a typical Radical coffee-house assembly. without weight or responsibility." How much of this is true, we cannot judge, but since the triumph of the Radical element in the recent elections, there seems to be in the Cortes a feverish hurry to uproot the old social order and to pull down whatever was held sacred by the majority of the Spanish people. •

Alfonso is to be humiliated, not by his countrymen, but by a foreign element that has climbed into power by the assistance of underground forces that bode no good for the future of the Spanish nation.

The struggle in Spain to-day is, in the judgment of Hilaire Belloc, a keen judge of the Spanish catastrophe. not a struggle for or against democracy, or against monarchy. nor a struggle between poor and rich, nor least of all between Nationalist feeling and cosmopolitan ideals, such as Communism—it is a mighty struggle between the Catholic Church and those who desire to destroy her.

November 23: St. Clement I., Pope and Martyr. Double. Red. 2, St. Felicitas, martyr. St. Clement is mentioned by St. Paul as one of his "fellow-labourers, whose names are in the book of life.' He succeeded St. Cletus in the Chair of Peter, and governed the Church for nearly ten years. His letter to the Corinthians is particulorly famous. "Its tone is dignified but paternal. The grave and solemn language bespeaks the universal pastor, who none can disobey without disobeying God Himself." By order of the Emperor Trajan, Clement was banished to the Crimea. There he was welcomed by Christian exiles. He strengthened them in the Faith, converted great numbers of pagans to Christ, and finally gained the crown of martyrdom, A.D. 100. St. Clement is mentioned in the Canon of the Mass. November 24: St. John of the Cross, Confessor and Doctor. Double. White. 2, St. Chrysogontis, Mar-

These words contain a deft, if dignified and cautious, guess that the virtue of Mother McAulay was heroic virtue. They are oil for the lamp of hope kept burning in the hearts of her children against the day which, please God, will see her raised to the altars of the ChurchWe Australians are always being told by our visitors that we are too easy-going, that we take too much for granted. We object to being lectured, of course, even if we do deserve it. And we do. Think of the Sisters of Mercy. for example: we take them for granted. We see them among us doing a grand work, but how did they get there? Where did they come from? Who brought them into the world. taught them the meaning ol "Mercy?" We know the answer to the last question, but how many of us have any idea what manner of woman was called "Mother McAuley.' moment's reflection, and wc know that there must have been ,something especially wonderful in her personality, which is an inspiration still to thousands of women all round the world. What depth and strength there must have been, and how much human. understanding tenderness! A valiant woman she was, whom many noble women have taken for their model. .

St Mary's Choir at Fremantle Choral Recital in St. Parities. Through the courtesy of Rev. Fathei I. Neville, the choir of St. Mary's Cathedral were enabled to give a choral recital in St Patrick's Church, Fremantle, before a splendid audience, who appreciated the musical fare produced The choir were in great for them. heart and voice, and acquitted themselves most admirably and in accord with the excellent accousies of the Church, the various numbers submitted were given with an artistry with all due deference to the light and -hatle of the numerous numbers. From the opening with Weber's -Gloria" to the final "Hallelujah," everything went well, and the audience no doubt was the inspiration to pro habit the choir's most successful mnsi cal recital. Prior to several choral numbers, the conductor gave a short resume of the characters of the excerpts, the influence of the different periods relative to liturgical and profane influence in their composition. Most of them were suitable in connection with the celebration of Mass; others, their best and most effective position on a concert platform. The programme comprised, besides the numbers mentioned: The choir sang the "Gloria" from Renek's Mass; Turner's "Agnus Dei:" Guonots "Sanctus," with Mr. Peter Roxby as soloist, which was really excellent: El 's "Ecce Sacerdosi" Palestrina's "Kyrie Eleison," and the "Kyrie," from St. An excellent Elizabeth. by Loeich. quartette of lady soloists rendered their several solos to the delight of the audience. Mrs, Sydney Smith sang devotionally in her usual smooth, rich-toned mezzo Mies Lorna Millard's "Ave Maria." Sydney Smith submitted the "Prayer from La Tosca," giving her an oppor. tunity of displaying the dramatic quality of her voice, and earned many • flattering econiurns. Miss Eileen Hart. whose recent singing of the beautiful "Lascia Peangi" earned her so much appreciation, repeated the number at the recital, and delighted her hearers with her wonderful deep rich mellow contralto Misr Peggy Brennan's rendering of Mas-

At the conclusion of the recital, the members of St. Patrick's Choir entertained the visitors at a. delightful and t otally unexpected supper. The conductor, Mr. Sydney Smith, in thanking Father Neville for his cour. tesy and patronage, stressed the fact that, notwithstanding the many calls for their own parochial needs, the idea of them being allowed to come and poach in their reserves was eloquent oe the good-heartedness of Father Neville and his associate priests. And if or any occasion, and at any time, that kindness could be returned, the choir pledged whole-heartedly their indiyi dual and collective assistance.

How can he who cannot control himself control others? Follies can never be woven into the web of durable things. Perseverance is necessary; with it we cannot fail to gain much. Every gift. even though it is =all, is valuable if you give it with a kind intention. Make now the reflections and resolutions which you will make at the hour of death, then you will make them without fruit. Humility and abnegation, being sisters, must always be together and never separated. Let us constantly ask ourselves St. Bernard's daily question: "To what end clidst thou come hither?" In order to be really obedient it is not enough to do what obedience commands, we must do it without reasoning upon it. The way the will becomes strong is Isy doing srnall things you have made up your mind to do, however much you do not want to do them at the time. As he who endeavours to reject an evil thought merits a great reward for heaven, so he who resists holy inspirations runs the risk of falling into greater miseriesdo not see how you can communicate any emotion to another unless the same be first thoroughly impressed and burnt in upon yourself.—St. Francis Xavier.

Ainsworth, SYMPATHY. There are several things in life which. costing nothing. may be possessed and dispensed by rich and poor alike, and which go farther towards helping our fellowman than all the free libraries in Chief among these is the country. Man. being by nature a sympathy. social being, has a natural need, at times, for fellow-feeling, for sympathy. All of us have experienced such need, all of us have felt the awakening hope, the renewed strength, that was summoned up within us in our time of need by the expression of rational feeling on the part of others. It may have been a hearty clap on the ghoul. der, or an exPression of faith in our powers when we had failed in the
SUBLIME CHARITY. Perfect charity is satisfied to love When and never look for a return. the soul is endowed with such love, then indeed it has the happiness of possessing God; for, one of the principal attributes of perfect charity consists in having all the senses devoted to, tittirely united to, and bound up in the object beloved. Therefore did St. John say: "He who lives in charity, abides in God. and God in him." And this manner of union with the Sovereign Good in, the bonds of charity—a union which is true and intimate—makes charity greater than all the other virtues. Since, then, this virtue is the greatest of all, it is clear that, in practising it, we shall obtain greater merit than from all the other virtues, and if the exercise of charity has greater spiritual merit than that attached to all the other virtues, it follows that the practice of charity, which consists in sincere love of God, is the most august and most sublime act which can be performed on earth. Even martyrdom is not more pleasing, nor more meritorious before God: for if that heroic act is acceptable to Him, it is not so much for the actual sacrifices of life, as for the love that makes the sacrifice possible; because without that love even martyrdom, as the Apostle teaches, would be but a useless and a fruitless endurance of pain.
Don't live in the paradise of to-morrow, but make the best and most of the opportunities which surround you to-day. Many a man misses the big prizes of life because he fails to put into his undertaking that extra last ounce ot energy which would have changed him from an also-ran to a winner. Whatever is morally right and just is economically possible. Before forging ahead make sure that you are on the right track by looking into things personally, instead of listening to hearsay. Many a disappointment can be averted by means of foresight. The lives of many people resemble a stampede of wild horses---desires, am bitions, inclinations, and temptations pushing and pulling them in different direction. We all want to be happy, but it is a mistake to expect others to bring us happiness on a silver platter, instead of achieving it on our own. A man usually dies as he has lived. An old wine-bibber having been smashed in a head-on motor collision, some wine was poured on his lips to revive him. "Tokay 1870" he murmured and died.

OUR STORY—
Story of Fra Felice
Vet day by day the lay-brother man aged to bring or send food and medicines into the poor district. That was the time, they say, that his gift of miracles was most in evidence, replenishing the stores of those who gave to him the rewarding in many ways the benefactors of the poor. And this is indicative of his charaL. ter, that in visiting the sick he would take them flowers as well as food and medicine. Such as the people of Rome knew him was Era Felice, the first canonised Saint of the Capuchins, the friend of the sick and the lover of children; and t he rugged singer of thankfulness to God. They knew that behind the life they saw there was another life hidden with God; and the brethren of the Friary could tell tales which increased their reverence and filled them with worshipful awe. One such was this: Certain brethren watching one night in the church, unknown to Fra Felice, saw him in an ecstacy of prayer before the tabernacle; then suddenly a light shone upon the altar, and the Blessed Virgin appeared, bearing in her arms the Div, m e InfantFra Felice uttered joyous ejaculations of worship, and as a suppliant, stretched forth his anus: thereupon the Blessed Virgin gave him the Divine Child to hold and fondle And when the vision was ended the lay-brother was as a man transported with joy. And that is why the Saint is represented in art holding the Divine Child, whilst the questor's bag is -:hining across his back, to recall that in that fashion he lived his life in the ight of men.
