THE SWORD.

Saturday, December 5, 1931,

Pre-Eminent Glories of the Golden Ages of Faith (From "The Standard.") A few weeks ago an American review printed—or re-printed—a poem on Progress. It was all about the cruelty, squalor, dirt, profound ignorance, and general unhappiness of the Middle Ages as compared with the blessings of the age in which we live. Having wept over the proud lords, serfs, "witches burning," and miserable peasants of that doleful time, the bard dismisses them shudderingly and proceeds: The clumsiest "Enough, enough! motor van That lumbers o'er our road gives greater ease Than ever monarch knew. New love for man Is here. New light—and progress if you please." And new poetry—if you please. Could Dante or Chaucer have written these This bard of progress noble numbers? A "swift does not forget) the hikers. car" passes happy throngs on the road. In the Middle Ages the very word "hiking" was probably not known (an excellent reason for wanting to live in the Middle Ages, some people will think. Like Mohere's bourgeois gentilhomme, who did not know that every time he talked he was talking prose, the unhappy medievals never knew that when they walked they were hiking. A poor youth in that night of ignorance could cross the heart of Europe from Bruges or Treves to Rome. His food and lodging might cost him nothing. If he wanted to stay at one (pi the famous university towns on the road his education would cost him nothing (Mr- Belloc remarks somewhere that the modern university, like Oxford, is—mainly----a playground foe rich men: formerly it was—mainly—a school for poor boys.

Thought, too, has progressed with everything else. The poet of progress from whom we have already quoted has by no means forgotten Thought. He says: On Freed thought mounts higher. the plane's pinion Man cleaves an air way in new dominion." T he language, one assumes, is boldly metaphorical. The poet refers not to the triumphs of the Schneider Cup but to the philosophers and lady novelists who write articles for Sunday news papers on how to suppress the poor) They had no Thinkers like that in the They had only St. Middle Ages.

There were proud lords and serfs in Pride often trithe Middle Ages. umphed; the evil scented to prosper. Witches were burned (an.I so were But Christian humility is saints ) . not the strongest point of modern big business men. Ideal freedom and happiness is not the condition of the industrial populations to-day. Witches are not burned now, but the great time for witch-burning was not in the Middle Ages; the custom of burning women reached its height as a popular craze in Protestant countries—especially in England and America—in the 17th. century, Witches are not burned in AmThey are given enormous erica now. salaries to act in the talking pictures. and only negroes are burned. We need not idealise the Middle Ages. but, as far as it is possible to picture the conditions in a past age, the world was a better place for the common man than it is now. Society had

i t, different ranks, but money was not the test of social worth. European society was knitted together, in a way that we can scarcely imagine now, by the certain knowledge of lord and villain, king and tradesman, that they were equal as members of one Church and that they shared in one Redemption The iron class distinctions introduced in later times by the wives of financial peers, and in still later times by Communist snobs, were quite unknown. Social Change. William Cobbett's "History of the Protestant Reformation," published a hundred years ago, gave a memorable picture of social change in England He quoted an account written by Fentescue, Lord Chief Justice and afterwards Lord Chancellor of England in the 15th. century, of the state of the people, when, as Cobbett says, "the Catholic Church was in the height 01 Fortescue writes: its glory."

'La In the last chapter of his "History of the Reformation" he explains how he, born and bred a Protestant of the Church of England, and "having a wife and numerous family professing the same faith," came to write the book.

-It is not for the rich and powerful of my countrymen I have spoken, but for the poor, the persecuted, the proscribed. . . When I considered the long, long triumph of calumny over the religion of those to whom we owe all that we possess that is great and renowned. . . It would have been baseness to hold my tongue." Cobbett is worth reading nowadays

"Catholic" and "Roman Catholic" Meaning of Term Defined in Court.

(epts• The repudiated sense of the term is to look upon 'Roman' as liming a species of Catholicism. desigIt is accepted, however, in the sense that the See of Rome is the principal unity of C atholicism. "I may further add that the ches which are separated in the Chinf rom union with the Roman See doEast usually officially call themselves not tholic, but 'Orthodox.'

"From this section there arose .the Russian Orthodox Church, w hile preserving a unity withwhich, the Church in Constantinople, nevertheless, had its own Church polity with the Church at Petrograd. In their documents they use the words official 'Orthodox Church.' They do not speak of it as 'Catholic.'

St. Patrick's Old Boys OHNERAL HOLY COMMTJNION. Dear Old Boys,Many have been the trials and disap pointments you have met since you passed through the portals of "St. Pat's," and you have been called upon to make many sacrifices to retain your dearest heritage-the Catholic Faithhanded down through the blood of martyrs. But have you made those sacrifices? or have you given way in the struggle and become as those chosen disciples who were unfaithful and "who went away and walked no more with Him?" Once again, in the plaintive words of Our Lord, your old school asks: "Will And once again you also go away?" your old school expects to hear the answer from 1,000 old boys at the General Holy Communion: "Lord, to whom shall we go. Thou hest the words of Eternal Life, and we have believed that Thou art Christ the Son of the Living God."

Perth C.Y.M.S. The weekly meeting of the above society was held at St • Patrick's Boys School on Monday last. A large number of members were present, also Rev. Father Kelly. our spiritual director, and the Board of Management. A fter being introduced by the Board of Management. and being cordially received by the members, our new President. Mr. F. Smith, took the chair, and 11 a short address outlined his "policy." A debate on the "Emancipation of Women" then ensued, and the pros Tilid cons were very wittingly expounded by the members. A criticism was afterwards offered by Mr. Carmody and Father Kelly. The members can We may be in the debate and well. Debating League next year!!! The general meeting being closed, the Board of Management met the committee of the Perth Branch and deputies from the various suburban branches. The purchase of club rooms was enthusiastically discussed, and although no definite decision was arrived at, still we feel confident that Xmas will find us in rooms. To advance as we desire, two things are necessary at the present time: more regular attendance by the members at the general meetings: more financial optimism from every one.

At first confined to the giving of voluntary assistance in the hospitals of Rome, the scheme was extended to include the sick in their own homes, and soon the dying of all classes were regarded as subjects for the particular care of the Order. It was Pope Sixtus V. who confirmed the Congregation by an Apostolic Brief and who gave the members permission to wear as their distinctive sign a cross of red cloth on their cassocks and mantles, and it was on the feast of St. Peter and St. Paul, 1586, that Camillus and eight of his religious displayed in public, for the first time, the red cross as a symbol of the tending of the sick and dying. When five years later the Congregation was raised to the rank of an Order, Camillus was appointed General and held that office for sixteen years, when he begged to be allowed to resign and passed the last seven years of his life in humble subjection.—C.

SOCIAL NOTES With the advent of the hot weather, the worry of the housewife is intensified unless she has her windows and The fly, as we all doors fly-proof. know, is a serious menace to health, and the best remedy, of course, is to destroy him. Sprays are generally effective, but so often leave an unpleasScrupulous ant odour in the roomscleanliness must be observed, both inside and outside of the house, and children should be trained to put any scraps of food in the covered dust-bin. The fly is very fond of sweets, and naturally will come where its wants are satisfied, hence the sugar basin, the jam dish, the honey-jar, the milk jug, etc., should be carefully covered at all times. Another little creature against which we must wage warfare is the mosquito. Most people are aware that the mosquito is bred in water. The mother mosquito searches for still water in which to lay her eggs. It does not matter if it is a road-puddle, a watertank, or even a flower-vase. From the These eggs the larvae are hatched. little wrigglers dart about in the water looking for food, but they are breathing creatures and must get the fresh The breathing apparatus is in airtheir tails.

In hot weather it can pass from egg to perfect insect in less than fourteen days. With Christmas so near at hand, the question of what present to give occupies our minds very greatly. Books are always acceptable, but it is difficult, especially for people in the country, to decide upon a suitable book, and so they have to leave the choice to the good judgment of the book-seller. • Some weeks ago a suggestion was made in these columns that lists of books suitable for our Catholic young people be published from time to time, f t is a pity that this was not acted upon, as it is to the Catholic paper that our people look for guidance in this matter. If our local advertisers were more alive to their own interests, one would not look in vain for this information. We are asked to keep the money in the State, and most of us would like to do so, but if we do not know what are (nt the shelves in the book stores, it is not our fault if we take our patronage elsewhere. I would like also to see a column devoted to review on books and the price at which they can be obtained. • • French women are at the moment n.earing a dress with a very decided bustle effect. This is not obtained by bands of steel, as was the bustle of the eighties, but by a skilful tying and draping of material. The bodice is very tight-fitting, and this accentuates the effect of the bow and ends at the back just below the normal waist line • It must be remembered that in Northern countries the cooler weather is at hand, and heavy materials, such as the new velvet jersey, lend themselves admirably to the bustle effect. Most of the walking dresses are about five inches from the ground, though the Sports and hiking skirts are still just below the knee. Evening dresses are quite long, and some have trains, reminding us of the photo of grandmother in the family album • •

A Dongarra Wedding O'BRIEN---SIPIPSON. On Saturday. November 13th., a quiet. but pretty wedding was solemn. ised at Dongarra Catholic Church, the Rev. Father Murphy, of Geraldton, officiating. The church, which had been tastefully decorated by friends of the bride, was well filled by friends and relatives, when, Miss Mary Simpson, t hird daughter of Mrs and the late Mr. P. Simpson, of Dongarra, was married to Mr. John O'Brien. . fifth son of Mr. and Mn- J. O'Brien, of Kojarena. The bride, who was given away by her brother, Mr. Robert Simpson. wore an ankle length frock of white georgette, with wreath and veil (lent by a friend), and carried a bouquet of white roses and fern. The bride was attended by her sister, Miss Pauline Simpson, as

bridesmaid. She wore an ankle length frock of green georgette and lace, with hat to match, and carried a bouquet of pink roses and fern. Mr. Andrew O'Brien, brother of the bridegroom, was groomsman. The Wedding March was played by Miss Maud lies. After the ceremony a reception was held at the home of t he bride's mother. The Rev. Father Murphy proposed the toast of the 'Bride and Bridegroom.- Several telegrams of congratulations were read, and the usual toasts were honoured. Later in the evening, Mr. and Mrs. J. O'Brien left by car for Geraldton, where the honeymoon will be spent before proceeding to their future home in Mullein& The bride travelled in a navy blue crepe satin frock with hat to tone- Many nice and useful presents were received. • CATHOLIC YOUNG LADIES' CLUB. A fair number of members attended the last meeting held on the 26th. ult. A few of the members afterwards journeyed out to Mt. Lawley, to an evening held for Miss Doreen D'Arey, our popular queen. Quite a large crowd was present, and the next similar entertainment is keenly looked forward to. The management of the library has been handed over to Miss L. Leddin, who, we are sure, will make a very e xcellent librarian. Any books that have been discarded in the home, and are not wanted, will be very acceptable to the Club. as there is a great demand Iin reading matter. The last dance of the season is being held this (Saturday) evening, and it will be in the form of a grand Carnival, with confetti, novelties, and streamers galore. We heartily thank our patrons for their whole-hearted attendance during the past season, and hope we will see them all again next year, when the dancing season begins. Don't forget the river trip on December 10. As this entertainment falls on OW meeting night, there will be no meeting of the Club on that date. a • • CARE OF THE HANDSThe general shape and size of the hands cannot be changed, but their condition may always be such that they are attractive to look at. Hands whose contours have been altered to a certain degree by hard, rough work, can be improved by hand exercises, which involve not only the hand itself, but also the fingers and joints. While joints which have become enlarged cannot, as a rule, be brought back to their natural shape, they may be made more flexible through exercises and proper care Scissors should not be used to rut the nails or cuticle, as this makes them hard and brittle, but they may be used to remove ragged bits of cuticle or to make the corners of the nails -zmooth. When starting a big day's cleaning. or before beginning work in the garden, the nails should be filled by scratching them over a softened cake of soap. When the work is finished the soap will come out quite easily, when the nails will be found free from discolottration or stain that would be otherwise troublesome to remove. • • • HOUSEHOLD FONTSShould you be an unlucky possessor of a wrinkled skin, try a course of rad. ishes and note the result! Eat them with bread liberally spread with butter with at least one meal every day for three mouths, and you will quickly notice a change in your skin. For enriching the blood and so strengthening the body generally. eat plenty of beetroot, chiefly as a hot vegetable, for then you get the true value of the vegetable. When pickled the strengthening quality is somewhat weakened by the vinegar. Should you be a sufferer from rheumatism, eat plenty of spinach mashed with butter, while it is in season, and you will notice your rheumatic pains growing less and lessLoose Coven and Hangings. To clean chintz, cretonne. and tapestry covers which cannot be removed, the best plan is to rub them well with bran and a flannel. Loose chintz covers should first be shaken well, then brushed and wiped over with clean, damp flannels. Use dry breadcrumbs to finish, rubbing in well.

North Fremantle and Palmyra Notes

Church Bazaar. On Monday, November 23, the first day of Carnarvon Week, a very successful bazaar took place in aid of the Church. Several attractive stalls were in charge of a number of ladies of the parish: Mesdames Snook, Kennan and Pateman (Fancy Stall), Mrs. 5, Skipworth and Miss M. Snook (Shilling Stall), Miss T. Knuckey (Sweet Stall), and Mesdames Gestelow. Morrell and Morgan (Refreshments); Miss W. Conlon took charge of the Hoop-la• A very large crowd was present and spent freely, making the result of the The asevening most satisfactory. sortment of goods for sale was varied, and before the close of the function all the stalls were stripped of their possessions. As a result of the effort, the Church funds will benefit to the extent of about £75, which amount is considered to be very good for the times. Mr. Les Skipworth had charge of the organising, acting as secretary.

A concert of a very high standard was organised by Mrs. Shanahan and held at North Fremantle Town Hall, on November 24th. Considering the excellent programme submitted, it was a pity the audience was not larger. The event in which the good people and the children of St. Gerrard's, Palmyra. have been so keenly interested in the past, took place last Friday, and was pronounced by all a huge success. That it was direeted by the good Sisters is sufficient guarantee that everything was carried out in a most satisfactory manner.: We take advantage of this column to thank the Sisters of the Sacred Heart Convent, who conduct St. Gerard's School, for their untiring and continued efforts each year in making this fete the great day of the year for St. Gerard's. We also wish to thank the good pariShioners who gave donations and helped in any way. We are pleased to see Mrs. Finucane and her son. Jim, of Brack-street, North Fremantle, have just returned from a holiday to Wagin. They are looking very much the better for their trip. The result of the raffles held at Mr. Fitzgerald's house pjarts- was as follows: Biscuit barrel, A. Sullivan; flour. Mrs. Coughlan. An earnest non-Catholic worker of Bicton. ducks. We extend a hearty welcome home to Mr. and Mrs. J. Farrell, who, after an enjoyable sea trip to the Islands. have lately made their home in Westbury Crescent, Bicton. We hope that they will join the ranks of those enthusiastic workers of St. Gerard's parish. We offer our deepest sympathy to the relatives of the late Mr. P. Fitzgerald. of North Fremantle, who passed away last Sunday. especially to his bereaved sistars, Mrs. Regan . Mrs. O'Loughlin, and Mrs. Gray. Requiem Mass was offered by Rev. Father Kearin at St. Anne's Church, on Monday morning. The funeral, which was largely attended, took place on Monday afternoon at Fremantle Cemetery. Rev. Father Kearin officiated at the sraveside. The prayers of the parishioners are earnestly solicited for Nurse Flaws, of North Fremantle. who has undergone another serious operation. Miss Walsh of North Fremantle, and Miss Ethel Bovell, of Bicton, are both recovering from their recent burning accidents. During Miss Walsh's stay in the hospital, her father passed away. R.I.P. We trust that Mrs. Mottram. of North Fremantle. who has been ailing for some time, owing to a prolonged attack of influenza, will soon be restored to her former health.

Convent School Concert. The popularity of a children's contert was evidenced on Friday, November 20th., when the pupils of the Presentation Convent, Carnarvon, drew a crowded house. Smiling parents, admiring brothers and sisters, and friends who came for their love of kiddies, forgot for the time being their troubles and the weather, and settled down to be amused—nor were they disappointed. The programme opened with an overture by a well-trained orchestra, consisting mainly of former pupils of the sonyent Then the curtain rose for an operetta entitled "Princess Tiny Tot," showing Vivienne Angelo (described on the programme as "bewitching little Highness") with her Lord High Chansenor (Geoffrey Holden) in consultation. Haying become bored with things in general, the princess is hard to please, until the Chancellor hits on a happy thought and calls in Mother Red Cap, Tiny Tot's fairy godmother (Valerie Lamond), who soon puts things straight by presenting the princess with a book of nursery rhymes and calling in her flock of birds and butterflies, making a pretty scene, well carried out. Birds of all colours, concluding with the blackbirds who had been fortunate enough to escape the pie, fluttered round before finally perching in their appointed places. Then, referring to the book, the princess chose to be brought in in succession our old friends of nursery days—"Jack and Jill," "Little Jack Horner," "Boy Blue": 'Little Miss Muffet," and many others, terminating with the old favourite, ''Five Little Pigs," each child entering thoroughly into the spirit of the play and gaining hearty applause. After the interval, the overture. "Japanese Carnival," was played by the orchestra, and as the curtain rose a gay scene was presented, showing the stage lit with Japanese lanterns, and Lotus Blossom (Gabriel Suhard) with her four companions, Apple Blossom, Cherry Blossom, Sing Sing. and Yum Yum (Thetis Glaris, Agnes King, Dorothy Moseley and Roslyn Glen) carrying umbrellas and fans, with chorus of other Japanese maidens in the background. Lotus Blossom, having just returned from a visit to England, is the centre of attraction, her companions all being anxious to hear of the queer manners and customs of the English foreigners she had met, and the audience for the time being are led to "see oursel's as ithers see us." A party of minstrels entering are asked to stay and amuse the maidens for a time, and after their departure. Lotus Blossom confides the secret of her lover, Lang Toy .(Leslie King) to her friends. Their sympathy is aroused when they hear that he has gone to the war. A party of soldiers here take the stage and under officer Fightie Fightic (Noel Glass) go through a strenuous drill before being marched away. The maidens again resume their chatter, this time interrupted by the arrival of the honorable parents of Lotus Blossom, Ogo !logo. her father ( John Glass), and his wife (Pam Horton) in gorgeous attire. Music and tea drinking follow, and it was then the onlookers felt the heat and were filled with envy as in picturesque groups those little Japs sip-sipped the delicious beverage from the dainty cups. More excitement prevailed when the soldiers returned (the war apparently being over). The lovers, Lotus Blossom and Lang Toy, confess their love and amidst a happy chorus by the whole of the evening's performers the curtain dropped, leaving to the imagination the brilliant scenes to follow when the marriage took place. Just say— "I saw your ad. in 'The Record'.

Presentation Convent, Geraldton

On Thursday, the 19th. November, in the Convent Chapel, Geraldton, Sister Mary Francis made her profession to His Lordship the Rt. Rev. J, O'Coltins. His Lordship, assisted by the Very Rey. J. Irwin, Fathers M. Lynch, and C. Murphy, joined the procession from the Convent to the Chapel, where prior to the Mass the preliminary ceremonies were performed. His Lordship, in addressing the Sister, congratulated her in the life she has chosen, as also her parents who made the sacrifice of their daughter to Commenting on the Religious God. Life, the privilege of being a Spouse of Christ, as one to be highly praised, His Lordship explained how much closer and dearer to God the Religious is, than the ordinary Christian. In the Gospel of the professiin, as read this morning, Our Divine Lord clearly shows to the young man, that to obtain eternal life. he must observe the law of God, but, if he would be perfect then,, he must sell all he has. give to the poor, and lois ay Christ. He must realise the gain ( a* the whole world is nought, if one should lose his soul. What hazy notions the outside 2.-orld has of the Religious Life. It is imagined as one of misery, unhappiness, sud disappointment: it looks only to t ls• .transis tr v pleasures its votaries seek for, unconscious of the gain in the worid to come. But is the Religious Life one of misery? Far from it, true happiness is found only in religion. "Where Your treasure is, there is your heart- thus the Religious lives for her Beloved and He alone is her treasure; Me can only find peace and happiness in Him, hence the sacrifices she is called upon to make, for His sake are a source of joy to her: she fulfills Christ's words in living not only a good but a Does this mean all are perfect life. called to the Religious or Priestly state? Certainly not: we have to follow whatever our vocation in life may be, and live that in as perfect a manner as possible. striving daily to draw closer to Christ, and in that wise we fulfill the law of Christ. The Religious Life is one of great sicrifice; the Religious gives up everyilyt and he omes poor with Christ, and it is here she finds happiness; she T Aces upon herself a most noble and heroic work, and one pleasing to the Heart of Jesus, teaching and instructthe little ones to know, serve and and fitting them to take their place in society as good citizens. How necessary then is this work, when to-day atheists and anti-Christians are broadcasting their insidious views almost e verywhere, doing their utmost to drive out the Name of God from the hearts of His children, heedless of the evere warning: "It would be better. a

rather than give scandal to the least of these My little ones." "Truly, then I congratulate the Sister.- continued His Lordship, "and I hope God will bless her abundantly. I hope she will receive and enjoy the happiness attached to the Religious Life I assure her that if she tries to live aut cluize to God as she can.

During the week the Head Houses of the Sisters of Mercy in Australia received through His Excellency the Apostolic Delegate (Most iRev. Dr. Cannaneo), a welcome letter from His Holiness the Pope, of which the following is a copy: Rev. Mother Superior,—It is with great pleasure that I communicate to you the following letter, which I have just received from His Eminence the Cardinal-Secretary of State of His Holiness, regarding the coming centenary of the Institute of the Sisters of Mercy, founded by Mother M. Catherine McAuley: Seeretariate of State of His Holiness.

Vatican, 19th. September, 1931. Your Excellency,—The Holy Father has heard of the near approach of the celebration of the first centenary of the foundation of the Sisters of Mercy. Through your Excellency he wishes that there should be conveyed to them the warm expression of tho paternal feelings of satisfaction and gratitude which the Common Father of the Faithful deems an Institute of so many and invaluable activities absolutely worthy. His Holiness is indeed nct at all unaware of the great blessings that the good Sisters of Mercy confer on Australia and New Zealand by their numerous schools, hospitals, orphanages and beneficent institutions of other kinds. Above all, he knows the Spirit of Charity and Sacrifice which renders their work so highly efficient, and gives so inech edification to all-

Our Special Christmas Number On Saturday, December 19th., we are issuing a special edition, which will combine the usual Christmas features, with the story of the Sisters of Mercy in this State. In 1846 the first foundation of the Sisters of Mercy in Australia was established in Perth. The story of the pioneer Sisters who later made new foundations at West Perth, Bunbury. Victoria Park, and Coolgardie, makes fascinating reading. We request our patrons to book early the extra copies of the special edition. The special issue will be priced at 6d. ieeds of mankind, and with a desire to render to Society the best service. That, however, seems a hopeless expectation when one reviews the sordidness of political activities and the battle fix party supremacy throughout the world.

OUR DEAD "It is a holy and a wholesome thought to pray for the dead."

THE LATE MR. PATRICK FITZ. GERALD. The late Mr. Patrick Fitzgerald died at the Fremantle Hospital on Sunday, 22nd. ult. The deceased was born in County Limerick, Ireland, and came to Australia 41 years ago. He spent the first six years in the Eastern States, and arrived in West Australia in 1896. Mr Fitzgerald lived in various parts of the State, but was for many years a resident of North FreHe was of quiet and retirmantle. ing disposition, but very kindly disposed and won the respect and esteem of a wide circle of friends. The funeral took place on Monday, 23rd. ult. A Requiem Mass was celebrated at St. Anne's Church, North Fremantle, in the morning, at which the Rev. Father Kearin was the celebrant, and in the afternoon the cortege left the church and proceeded to the Catholic Cemetery, Fremantle, where the remains were interred in the presence of The Rev. Father a large gathering. Kearin officiated at the graveside. The chief mourners were Mr. John Fitzgerald (brother), Mesdames M. Regan and P. O'Loughlin (sisters), Messrs. T. Gray and P. O'Loughlin (brothers-in-law7, Mrs. J. Fitzgerald, sister-in-law), Messrs. M., T., and W. Regan! J. O'Loughlin, and T. Gray, junr-, (nephews), and the Misses J .and M. O'Loughlin (nieces), The pall-bearers were Messrs. T. Wims, M. McNamara, J. McMahon, D• McFall. E. Gallagher, and J. H. C. Casey. The bereaved relatives have received widespread expressions of sympathy. The funeral arrangements were in the hands of Messrs Arthur E Davies and Company.

Convent of Mercy, Bassendean Annual Concert by the Pupils. The Town Hall, Bassendean, was "en f ete" on Friday evening last, when the annual concert given by the pupils of the Convent School took placeThe large audience were highly appreciative of the excellent programme submitted by the children, the standard of which was even higher than in previous years. The opening item, Part Songs—(a) "Swaying Blossoms,- (b) "Over the Fields in the Early Morn," by the School Choir, were finely rendered. Messrs. H. Iles and R. Sinclair (violins), Miss Patty Hanna, of the Convent of Mercy, Victoria Square (cello', gave a delightful rendering of "Danny Boy," and in response to the applause, played the ever-popular Guonod's "Ave Maria." Next came the boys' drill, a favourite item, always loudly applauded, as was also the Irish Reel, which was danced with great spirit. Tiny Douglas Hall selected for his redtation, "Because I'm Only Seven," his clear little voice ringing distinctly all over the large hall. A smart attractive dance followed, entitled the "Hunting Ballet," by the senior girls, which elicited hearty applause; the military costumes carried out in black and white, the black hunting crop bunched with black and white streamers, were very striking. Master Hugh Carr is the possessor of a sweet voice, and charmed all with his singing of -Keep on Hoping." The applause was so insistent that he was forced to respond to an encore, for which he rendered "I Pass by Your Window." At the eonclusion of a pretty song and dance, entitled 'Golf," sweetly sung and gracefully danced, a Cantata—a little gem— by the Elocution and Junior pupils, entitled "Half an Hour in Fairyland,' or the "Quarrel of the Seasons," was staged. It was a delightful little item, and the greatest credit is due to teachers and pupils alike. The young actors were word perfect, their enunciation clear, and the various songs and dances excellently rendered. Space will not allow of a lorfg description of the piece, but following is the caste of characters: "Goddess of the Seasons," Ailsa Paul; "Lady Spring," Lorne Burrows; "Lady Summer," Clair Hall; "Lady Autumn," Peggy Weir; 'Lady -Winter," Nancy Hoare. Other characters: "Boreas the Wind:" "Old Sol": "The Master Painter"; "Jack Frost"; "A Page"; "Mortals:" "Nigger Boys,- etcThe second part of the programme was devoted to the production of a drama by the senior girls, entitled -Queen Eimilphie." or "Will She Tell?" Prior to the rise of the curtain. Miss May Holman. M.L.A., who has always 'shown the greatest interest in the work of the Sisters, very kindly gave a precis of the play about to be presented.

The advertising methods and employment schemes were, without doubt, created. but the money for either was not forthcoming. It was unfortunate that the Manager should have given the Government further financial embarrassment by directing enquiries for money to the Treasurer, but the midi. -nee appeared to have been taking a holiday away from politics and took the awkward situation in good part. Songs and recitations filled in the remainder of the programme. Much of the success of the children's work was due to the skilful accompanist, and the ever vigilant stage-managers, who saw that everything moed smoothly. A t the close, Father Winston, on behalf of the Sisters, thanked the Vilri• for their presence, and their attendim and wished the boys a very pleaant and a very Happy Xma,

HONESTY. A merely nominal Catholic may take refuge in the excuse, "Everybody acts in this way," but the very fact that a particular vice is prevalent gives the active Catholic his opportunity. To avoid being dragged down himself, and to make the contrast between the Christian and non-Christian morality more striking to others, he will rather go to the opposite extreme. Honesty at once suggests itself as an obvious example, and we gladly give still wider publicity to the following extracts from some of our exchanges. "Stealing can be done in various ways and not merely by taking money and goods from another by handAn employer may steal like an ordinary thief by defrauding his or her workers of their pay, and an employee may steal by defrauding his or her employer of the work due. Idleness in work is a form of stealing—wasting time, not putting in a good day's work. You may steal by wasting, injuring or giving away your master's property. Don't allow yourself to get loose ideas about matters of justice. Restitution is one of those things that the Church with all its power cannot give you a dispensation from." ("Stella Maria.") "Question: If a mistake is made in your favour in a public restaurant or in a shop, for instance in giving back too much change, is it necessary to correct this error? Answer: You can hardly be too honest. The seventh commandment forbids all unjust taking Or keeping of what belongs to another Ile who keeps another's property, al. t hough it may not have come into his possession through any fault of his own. becomes a thief as soon as he becomes aware that it belongs to another and takes no means to notify the owner, if known, or to find the owner, if unknown.

THE RECORD.

OUR STORY—

A Hidden Sacrifice

k ilicluded./ It was early autumn of the sante year when Alice Fitzgerald returned to Ireland, to visit the convent home where she tad been so happy. The , timmer flowers were long dead, but a few late roses peeped and nodded among the ivy that clustered around the grated windows. The roan-berries were as red as ever; indeed, it seemed to Alice as if everything was unchanged, except herself. Wh'en she had written tu the kind Suuperioress, "Dear Mother, I am coming home to stay." that good lady, looking around proudiv on some of Alice's fragile appearance. soon cleared away her mistake, f or all the girlish brightness was gone. and only a certain air of gentle resignation had taken its place. When her health was mentioned by any of the Sisters the girl merely smiled, sadly. She was feeling well enough she said. :lut to her beloved "Reverend Mother" Alice had told all her sad story. There was something dearer to her than life, she said something that God would give her in return for that worthless 'ilt• oi hers. She felt that He wanted t, and she gave it gladly it was the s at-I-Mee of her %citing life offered te yen 1, or the net versif in 4)1 Norman „angley The thought was a suddeT at inspired tilt nights always. are. . oul it may have been only the result •( words her (anent had uttered the lay befori---Were that man a Catho,e," Father Alistort had Taid, 'he would become a very pillar of the Church!" To Alice the words seemed prophetic What if she were to ask God to grant Norman Langley that grace, not as she bad hitherto pleaded for it, 'merely to remove the only obstacle to their union, but for the sake of the faith she loved better than life. • The thought wit,: lust such as now, and then rises in gentle selfsiterificing natures, and before Alice rose from her knees she had made an oblation of her voting life for the only friend who had it in his power :o make that life fair. Norman Langley was quite unconscious of any prayers which might he of feted for hint. He was sorry- that Alice should have gone away to avoid him, and at times he felt her absence keenly, but had he been told that she was still hoping for the time when he should not alone believe, but be re ceived into the Catholic Church, he would have thought her very foolish indeed. Yet, even as be waited for a message from her, a change-vague and undefinable —passed over him, and while be tried to shake it off, the thought of Alice haunted him constantly. She would explain it, he felt, for be dared not attempt to analyse his own feeling. With some such thought .is this ne sought Mn. Allston. but. though the wason was at its height, le iound that lady's town house closed, and all he could discover was that she had left ii great haste for Ireland, to see a relative who was ill He connected this relative at once with Alice, for Mrs. Minor] had no Irish Ielations he Lnew, save her orphan niece. To find Father Allston was his next move, in order to get a knowledge of the whereabout) ot that c.,11 vent of which he had hew d mech. but when he found him there was a further delay for the performance of certain ceremonies which made his friend's heart throb with gladness. and which would have-could 4he have witnessed them--crowned all the earthly happiness re another mortal. It is a bright spring day. The air is sweet with the fragrance of hawthorn and lilac, and the silken-trim:fed labor" num bends softly towards the dewy lawn. Through the open windows of country homes and busy town houses the Spring sunshine pours making everything glad with its brightness' but brightest of all are the rays that filter through the half-closed blinds to the convent on the hill. On a couch inside one ef the windows a young girl is reclining, her face half buried in s mass of purple lilac blossoms, which a little brown-eyed Sister had placed within her hands. "I alwa” loved the lilacs so. Aunt. she says in an apologetic tone, to the lady who is seated by the window, satching sadly every movement of the acted, but expressive fast. Mrs. Aliston found it hard to think of death in connection with the young girl who lay before her—the grey eyes were so bright, the colour on the thin cheeks such a brilliant pink, and the whole expression one of gladness rather than sorrow. If it were possible to conceive any state in which the spirit might reach another world without parting (torn' its clayey prison. thee Mrs Allston could imagine her niece to

be dying, but that this lair haul should be cold and still, that it should be hidden away in the dark earth—the thought was too horrible to entertain. With an inward shudder she turned her eyes towards the open window, where everything wnispered of life, not death. In the distance the river wound its silvery length between lakes of brightest green, and even the old Castle, with its grey towers, looked gay in the sunlit distanceThen, as Mrs. Allston's gaze wanders admiringly to the tall horse-chestnuts on either side of the avenue, which looked in their spring foliage like giant chandeliers, she is startled by the appearance of a figure which is making its way towards the convent. In that one glance—for the trees intercepted her view in the next moment—she knows the figure to be Norman Langley's. Her niece lay quietly with closed eyes, so Mrs. Aliston passed unnoticed from the room. Half an hour later Norman Langley left the convent with a step that had lost half its buoyance. He had been told that Alice was dying. that he should see her to-morrow, when they had prepared her for the meeting: yet he would be hopeful, foi what might nut his good news do even at the last! Would it not cheer her, and comfort her to hear that he was no longer an unt 'eliever. that he had been received into the one True Church? With such reflectiens he sought to console himself on his selitary way, while a different scene was taking place under the roof which he had just quitted. Long as Alice had waited for Death, the call came unexpected to everyone but herself Even while Norman Langley lingered. within the convent a change for the worse had taken place. and when Mrs. Allston and the Superioress returned to the room they found a little group of Sisters kneeling by the bedside, their voices mingled iii prayer for the dying girl. It was useless to tell her the glad news ni iw. for she could not under stand, yet her last words were a meage meant for him. pre "Tell hint I will . . always for him that I look forward to . m eeting hint „ in heaven." Next morning he came—at first, with a quick. glad step, but he read all in the soft footsteps. in the hushed voices: and, rejecting earthly sympathy, be sought comfort where Alice had found it a sear before- at the foot of the crucifix. Above in the death-chamber. be joined the nuns in prayer, but not before warm, throbbing lips were pres,erl to ones icy-cold with the chillness 'it: In that moment the man's heart seemed cleaned from the cross of earthly affections and filled with a heaven-horn impulse to soar upwards In the presume of death, all that was hest in the man woke anew, and all that was base in his nature swept away like mists before the rising sun. Who has not felt similar emotions rise in the presence of their beloved dead? In such solemn mements we register vows that 'twere a crime even to dream of breaking. and now this man felt unaccountably impelled to change his master. In his allegiance to the world. Norman Langley had never yet been known to waver -now Heaven claimed the heart that in its meanest affection could not be divided Even with the heart that has sworn eternal fidelity there sometimes creeps the shadow of forgetfulness, because such love retains the germs of selfishness. It is only when it has been given into God's keeping that wc find that love "waking for ever?'

The New York "Times,- in an editorial recently, extolled Mother Seton, laundress of the Sisters of Charity in the United States, whose beatification has just been asked in a petition presented in Rome to the Holy Father by a pilgrimage from the United States, as one whose labours in opening the first free parochial school and inaugurating the first Catholic orphan asylum in the United States -should give her a secure place in the history of education and • .f charity in America." The editorial is ac follows: "An American Saint." "In the Church's catalogue of saints t here is at yet no one of American birth. The Hill of the Martyrs in the Mohawk \-alley remembers missionary priests and Father Jogue, chief among them, whose blood became the seed of t heir Church on this Continent. But t hey are assigned to France, where the} had their birth and nurture.

In the case of Mother Seton thousands of Amen cans unite in asking that she be made the pioneer saint of America in gratitude for what she did as a pioneer parochial school teacher and Sister of Char• ity. " \elk \',irk has special reason for cherishing her memory, for she was horn here just before the Revolution and was here received into the Church Rut her first school was opened in Baltimore, and was later transferred t Emmitshurg. a little way distant

where a community was formed ad the society of the Sisters of Charity ore ganised, of which she became the first Superior • "Her perfect sincerity sad great charm aided her wonderfully in her work of sanctifying souls: So out, standing was she in her spiritual qualities and in the influence of her work as it part of a world-wide sisterhood, that Cardinal Ribbons, who was intimately acquainted with her pioneer - truggles and achievements, was fore. atie‘t in urging her canonisation. 'Ti have opened the first free parewhiRil and inaugurated the first ia-phan asylum in America should give' her a secure place in the history of education and of charity in this country.
