Outside ef the city, the Community at Bunbury constitutes the biggest f oundation in the West. Their branches function in Dardanup, Donnybrook, Greenbushes, and Bridgetown. The eaiatiy Dean Martelli fully realised the valuable work done by the Mercy Nuns, in the making and keeping of good practical Catholics, so in his day, the Order was given every oppon tunity to establish and expand. The priests in the South-West fully appreciate his foresight and the Sisters' effiThe cient and comprehensive work.

Her vision, like the golden sun, That shineth when the tempest's o'er, Is Truth's fair star to every one. To guide us to the farther shore.

A BENEDICTINE CUSTOM ON CHRISTMAS EVE. ( By BUM WILLIAM, Benedictine Monk, of New Nordic) Music, when soft voices die Vibrates in the memory— Odours, when sweet violets sicken, Live within the sense they quicken. —Shelley. I . First impressions are Tasting. They are like marble monuments within the memory that live and die with man himself. My Alma Mater is one of those lasting impressions. She lives in me like vibrating memories of a dying melody. She quickens my soul like the balsalm of fading perfumes. And her name, when by friend or stranger is mentioned, it suddenly throws a ray of sunshine on my weary path, or yet it steals an unconscious smile out of my lips- Thus she sweetens many a dreary hour in my life. Her name is very significant, for it means what she really is. namely: The name suggests that "Miracle." hallowed spot in Catalonia. Spain, which one evening sunset was made the glorious by the appearance of Mother of God, and which ever since has been called by the significant name of "Our Lady of the Miracle." She is not • * • far from Montserrat, her part. y. the way from the one Montery dike other lying through Mania, acroac lovely clad hills and run. ning water valleys. Situa on a smiling plateay. the highe in a series of ascending beginning at a near-by gully ta . tie. "Our Lady of the Miracle" mmands a perfect view of the high ow-laden peaks of the Pyrenees, far away in the north in the south-east the heights of Pines. and far beyond these the serrated crests of Montserrat are also visible. Apart from these far-off beautiful spots of Nature, the place itself abounds in picturesque surroundings. Saint Gabriel's Hill. at whose feet the Mmastery is built, and by whom is sheltered, presents all the natural elegance one can wish for. First of all its ascent is not laborious. Secondly, clad with a luxuriant vegetation, among which the Primulae and the Rosemary are conspicuous, the hill locks up within its folds shady spots and lonely clefts, while a labyrinth of goat-beaten tracks. cut among the tall pine trees and the dwarf box plants, lead on to its summit, where St. Gabriel's Hermit is built. The hill derives its name from this Hermit, whose walls and turret of pure white serve as a guiding beacon to the traveller by day or in the moonlight night. To go round St. Gabriel's Hill on a cold day of December—for December is really a cold month there—is to walk through a forest of frozen trees most fantastic in their whimsical forms of human-like beings or beasts, their leafless frozen branches, especially, resembling an array of giants with arms outstretched, whether pleading for mercy or ready to fight is hard to say One has to hurry through this forest for the trees are continually dripping, although one's haste does not save him getting wet, nor from developing a frostbitten nose, which needs hard warming before it thaws. Thank goodness, a cheerful fire is blazing all through the winter in the Community fireplace, in front of which, after the walk round St. Gabriel's, a number of black-cowled monks used to sit or stand, turning in rotation to let the habits dry and warm,

In my youthful days I used to think all the above-mentioned vistas not only delightful in themselves, but also as adding importance to my Alma Mater, by enhancing its external value. But beauty is not lacking either inside the Monastery. Art has copied in profusion the beauties of nature upon the Barocco High Altar, so full of imagination, so picturesque, so immense, so symbolical, and so colourful, as to challenge any other work in the same style. It was in 1903, about sunset, on a day in August. I think, that I. with some fellow students, entered Our Lady of the Miracle's Church for the first time. As a matter of fact, it was our arrival to that Monastery to join the Benedictine Order. I knelt in a pew under the choir whilst the monks sang the "Salve Regina," in thanksgiving for our safe arrival. I was but a lad, with a mind just entering upon the dreaming stage of life and easily impressed. That altar arrested at once my eyes, although most of its glittering beauty was clandestinely stolen away by the sinking sun. Four months slipped away as quick as the setting sun, namely, from August to December. During

this time we all were initiated into the first stage of the Benedictine Curriculum, including Latin, history, etc., and the Little Office of Our LadyEarly in the morning, on the 24th. of December, 1903, -the College was aroused with the news of the chanting of the Christmas Calends at Prime. The ceremony was quite new to us, yet it caused a lot of excitement among the students. While getting ready—for we all had to go to the choir—instinctively I, for one, looked out the window into the field below. It ,was a bitterly cold morning. The fog hung heavily over the lower portion of the valley, although the open country around the Monastery was clear and fair. Occasionally I could see in some higher spots the dense vapour thinning out, curling up, raising and vanishing out of view until a broad, fine winter sun lighted up the white-snowed ground, oi reflected its indolent rays on a frozen dam close by. Thus, a typical Christmas Eve dawned upon that land, tinged as it was with snow and ice, the two genuine harbingers of Christmas. Shivering with cold from head to foot, yet exhilarated by the news of the Calend's proclamation and, no doubt, stimulated by the hope to see in a cheerful brazier in the choir, we pushed forward thither, two by two, up the long narrow corridor, and down the corkscrew-like stairs. The brazier was there, yes, red hot, and sparkling at times "like chaff from a threshing floor," in front of the Prior's stall. In spite of the fire, the choir looked still cold The wind moaned through wall crevices and windows: the monks were wrapped in woollen cowls and hoods, and the sacred chant of Prime, though most dignified, was unconsciously profaner! by the cranky tone of an oldfashioned pipe organ. HI. This scene changed as by magic when the chanting of Prime gave way to the chanting of the Calends. Briefly, this is a ceremony performed in Cathedra: Chapters and Monasteries on Christina, Eve, at which the announcement of the morrow's feast is made with unusua' solemnity. The sector, or chanter. who frequently is one of the dignitaries of the choir, sings to a most magnificent chant the lesson from the Martryology. recalling the Nativity of Jesus Christ according to the Flesh. The choir remains standing during the chanting until the chanter comes to the word "Bethlehem," at which all genuflect and continue in this posture until the glad tidings of the Birth of Jesus Christ are sung. The solemnity- of this rite is at once arresting. It arrested, anyhow, my mind as a boy of thirteen The priest. vested in surplice, stole and cope, entered the choir, preceded by two acole. tes and a thurible bearer. His entrance was greeted by a joyous march of the organ. such as it is done at New Norcia. while the whole choir stood up in reverence. Proceeding to a lectern, covered with a cloth, the priest, or cantor, sang to a magnificent chant the following lesson: "The eighth of the Calends of January. The year from the creation of the world, when in the beginning God created heaven and earth, five thousand one hundred and ninety-nine: from the deluge, the year two thousand nine hundred and fifty-seven: from the birth of Abraham, the year two thousand and fifteen: from Moses and the going out of the people of Israel from Egypt, the year one thousand five hundred and ten: from David's being anointed King, the year one thousand and thirty-two: in the sixty-fifth week according to the prophecy of Daniel : in the one hundred and ninety-fourth Olympiad: from the building of the city of Rome, the year seven hundred and fifty-two: in the forty-second year of the reign of Octavian Augustus: the whole world being in peace: in the sixth age of the world: Jesus Christ the Eternal God, and Son of the Eternal Father, wishing to consecrate this world by His most merciful coming, being conceived of the Holy Ghost, and nine months since his conception having passed. in Bethlehem of Juda, is born of the Virgin Marv, being made Man: The Nativity of Our Lord Jesus Christ Ac. cording to the Flesh!" Here in this Lesson the solemn ceremonial joins to a sublime expression. For the words express a mighty vision of all the generations of the world— who are silent as to the existence ef Christ—from the creation of the world to the humble Virgin of Nazareth. an offshoot of the Royal House of David, from whom Jesus Christ. the Eternal God, was born according to the flesh.

Last, but n. it least, the Gegorian melody, to which the Cantor siigs the w ords of the Lesson, is a real hidden treasure for beauty and inspiraion. It vibrates deep down in the hert, its emotion uplifting soul and bod. unto the bosom of the very God. IV. Such as this was that morning scene ( so Christmas Eve in 1903, when lwas a boy. Such the impression it nade on my tender mind. The singing of Prime had given way to the singing I the CalendsFor a while the rapurous chant took my mind away irca the stable at Bethlehem. and then those delightful vistas of my Alma Mao-. its frozen forests, St. Gabriel's Hil, the snow and ice, even the Barocee High Altar disappeared from my eyes. Now, on the contrary, on the recurrence of Christmas Eve, and espciallv at the singing of the Calends it my lovely New Norcia, the recollecton of that scene strikes forcibly my nincl: for that scene is still music it my memory, and sweet odour living within my senses. And as Christrns Eve wears on each year, it brings me tearer to midnight, and closer still u the crib of my Jesus, while those vistas of my Alma Mater rise like a vision far away, assuming quieter tint, like Young hopes softened clown by tine.

Oh, man from the hills, will you allow me to keep my thoughts to myself! A WONDERFUL CONCERT. On Monday evening, the Theatre Royal opened its doors to all interested in royalty—and who is not? Having the blood of a line of kings bubbling within me, I joined the crowd, but, true to my ancestral lineage,I was late. Our kings were so polite that we waited for the other fellow to mount the throne, and. seeing him on a throne, we could not dream of dispossessing him. Now for a royal growl! What do our people want at a musical evening? I do not believe that they know themselves. On Monday evening we had a programme that I would not have missed for, say, a dozen penny licks—and yet, there were some empty seats where I was. "Too many things on!"—no, there you are wrong. You could not have too many of Monday's concerts. I came West after the drought, and I can easily count the concerts that pleased me, as did the Queen's Concert, If Ihad money—if it were only Thursday morning again—I would give the boys who delighted me a drum full of ice-cream each, and the lady soloists an hour's ride on Cecil Brothers' merrygo-round, and the solitary brave male a bunch of violets, and the members of the choir a blooming nose-gay, and to the two Madames a switch-back run to City Beach. But these are idle words, for I am a' poor, but royal descendant of an over-polite line of kings. An Excellent Programme Do not ask me to go over in detail the items of a concert that I can recall with pleasure, without a single exception. The overture, by D'Arcy's Or:hestra--which is now entitled to style itself "By special appointment to Her Majesty the Queen of Queens"—introduced the boys of St. Patrick's School. They remained with us throughout the first part, and, we were sorry to lose "I could listen to them for them another hour," said my friend, with a mighty poke in my ribs. Now, I ask you, what use has a poke in the ribs? —no, I had better get back to the programme. The boys reminded me of a c horus of birds singing from a wood. Their head-notes were warbles that soared upwards to where I sat, motionless, fearing that a rustle of paper might frighten them away. I closed my eyes at the solos, so thLt the chirruping might fill my ears, and leave me The final notes ins' picture of a bird Of "/ Hear You Calling Me" have a John McCormack hidden away somewhere, if the lad is only lucky enough to find it out. The second part of the programme opened with that lilting melody from "Merrie England," artistically sung by

Miss Lorna Sydney Smith. As an encore we listened with delight to one of those whimsical songs of Herman Lehr, "To My First Love," sung sweetly and with a rare gift of interpretation. I can never keep my feet quiet when that Irish jig attacks them, and, consequently, I cease to be part of the audience and jig along with the green caped colleens from St. Joseph's, Victoria Square, on the stage- I believe it is very good for my aristocratic gout, so will you please include an Irish jig at all concerts that I am invited "The Rose of Tralee," to in future. sung with effect by Mr. Peter Roxby, makes me sad. The first time I heard it, it was in john McCormack's talkie.I surrendered to it absolutely then, to the extent of a half a year's salary, which went back to a spot, not a hundred As an encore, miles north of Tralee. "That Old Irish Mother of Mine" gladdened our hearts. Gentlemen, the Queen! The choir and its conductor get ready; the orchestra is waiting; when suddenly the fanfare of trumpets fill the theatre announcing—"Gentlemen, the Queen!" Up we stood to watch and gaze at the Royal entrance. The choir usher in the procession with the lively tones of "Here Comes the Conquering Hero.Eight of the Y.A.L. boys, weariqg their picturesque livery, lead the way. There follow two pages, who mount the stage and stand to attention. The ladies in waiting, in long flowing court dresses, carrying beautiful bouquets, ascend the steps before her Majesty the Queen, who moved as a Queen should, before her her plume-crested pages in blue silk knee breeches, and by her side two tiny ladies in waiting in pink silk robes that covered their toes. The Queen is on her throne On her right the royal diadem sparkles on its royal cushion. His Grace the Archbishop, in his porttifical robes. enters. attended by Father Prendiville, Adm. The ladies in waiting are seated. The trumpeters mount the flight of white steps behind the throne: holding their trumpets at rest, from which the royal blue of the droops becomingly. What a beautiful tableau vivant it made! A rich back curtain of black velvet: sides of blue silk, bordered with orange. Not a stir among the audience; the scene captivates all. We sit and gaze, and drink it in. Then came the addresses. After. wards the Queen kneels: His Grace the Archbishop places the crown on her head: a page places the sceptre in her hand: the fanfare of the trumpets fill the hall, and the Queen, God bless her, recived the thundering applause of her subjects in the audience. Then a gracious thought of the Administrator. Each rival for the throne shares with the crowned Queen a case of silver cutlery. presented to each one by His Grace the Archbishnip. So concluded the picturesque ceremony of the crowning of a Queen. It was my first coronation. but I am coming again next year. Then to send us all home with our heads in the air, Miss Eileen Hart sang the vibrant words of "Land of Hope and Glory" in true martial fashion, using her rich rounded voice with effect. THE ADDRESSES. Very Rev. Father Prendiville, Adm. Ladies and Gentlemen.—Before calling on His Grace the Archbishop to perform the crowning ceremony and present the prizes to the candidates,Iwish to announce to you the result of the Queen Carnival Competition. The highest number of votes was collected by Miss Doreen D'Arcy, representing the Children of Mary and the Catholic Young Ladies' Club. Miss D'Arcy collected 80,581 votes, equivalent to £334 18s 5d. The second, Miss Eileen Hart, representing Cathedral Choir, with a total of 47,092 votes—equivalent to £191 4s 4d The third, Miss O'Dea. representing Havelock-street Parish, with a total of 44.425 votes, equivalent to £185 2s Id. and The fourth, Miss Smith, representing the Catholic Lawn Tennis Association, with a total of 27.608 votes—equivalent t o £115 Os 8d. Since the competition was finalised on Thursday last. other sums of money have been banded in, which. along with

TEN the nett proceeds of to-night's concert, amount to al. making a grand total to the Queen Carnival Competition of £862 4s 6d. This, I think, ladies and gentlemen, is very satisfactory indeed, when we consider that the competition was not launched until October, and when we consider especially the depressed times through which we are passing at present- I wish on my own behalf to thank the four candidates for the enthusiasm with which they entered into the competition, and, in thanking them, I wish to thank also their secretaries, and all those who contributed willingly and generously to make the Queen Carnival such a success. I have now much pleasure in calling • on His Grace the Archbishop to address you. His Grace the Archbishop. Lathes and Gentlemen,—I am embarrassed by the situation. I am surrounded by a galaxy of regal splendour and beauty within the footlights of a mystic circle. However. I hope that I shall have presence of mind enough in this august assembly to say what I wish to say and what Father Prendivine expects me to say. First of all, of course, I have been all along very deeply interested in this Queen Competition. It was got up hurriedly in order to meet the interest —heavy interest—on our Cathedral. It was entered into most heartily by the Queens and their supporters, and I think the result is a wonderful manifestation of the co-operation of the people. of the work of the Queens, and appreciation of the public of the object for which the Queen Carnival was held. It is the first time since we started work for the Cathedral that we have had any sort of entertainment Up to that all has been direct giving, and now that we have started these entertainments, and we are so heartened by the result, even at a time of slackness and depression like this, we hope that those who have been so good in helping these Queens in organising the entertainment, we hope they, too, will be heartened, and that sonic time next year we will have something on a larger scale. I thank the Queens very cordially for the work they have done. St. Paul said something about "many running in a race with only one winning the prise." congratulate the prize winners, and all I have to say with regard to the , )thers is that if they have not won they each one.deserved to win (Applause.) I not only thank the Queens and their supporters, I want to thank afl who have made this concert and entertainment to-night such a success. I must say I really enjoyed the concert so much. We have known the high standard that the St. Patrick's boys had reached in musical matters. I do not think they have ever done better than they did here to-night: they sang so sweetly, so touchingly, so melodiously, that the time seemed to melt away in sweet melody. And I want to congratulate Brother Downes. the Contessa. and the boys of the school, on this grand exhibition of musical culture and training. Then I wish to congratulate and thank the other ladies who have made this night so pleasant and enjoyable. I want to thank the Choir for having come, and they sang so well, and Imust say I am especially grateful to tae '(AL, boys for coming here to-night and adding such picturesqueness to om ceremony of crowning our Queen. (Applause.) Ilefnre very long I might forget my. ,eif, and I might forget that I am a little bit disraled, but I do want, in conclusion, to thank everyone who has had a part in the organisation of this concert, or in the organisation of the various entertainments for the Queen Carnival. They have all got on so well, so harmoniously, that I am sure as I said before, you would like another There is another whose work has been great -very great and very constant and successful—and that is Father Prencliville. I do not think anyone could have worked harder; I do not think anyone could have worked more efficiently; I do not know anyone that possesses such an equitable temper (Laughter). If there was any indication of a storm brewing he so quickly dispersed it It may be due, I think, to his tact and diplomacy and his temperament, that we have such a harmonious time during the carnival, that all the work was beautifully done for the one aim, and although so many of the other sex were concerned in the various entertainments, that we had nothing like a rosS or quarrel. I wish now, in conclusion, then, to thank you all. I should have been glad to see more here, but seeing we have had so many entertainments we

THE RECORD. must not expect too much of a good thing. With ail due deference I proceed flow to crown the Queen. I have never been in the presence of royalty; I have been a little embarrassed, but I hope, ladies and gentlemen, if I make any ceremonial mistakes that you will attribute them not to clumsiness but to nervousness in a man who is very nervous and nlodest before a Queen.

It is as if the Church had called us to leave the noise and distractions oi :he world and walk by the shores of some calm, majestic lake, in whose unruffled and translucent depths are imaged the mountains of the Divine Perfections. Her Divine Son always works in the Thurch by her, and never without her. In dogma it has passed almost into a proverb that the doctrine about Mary shields the doctrine about Jesus, and contains it as she once contained Him. self. In ritual they are ever separate. In devotion they have grown together; and in the great ecclesiastical epochs her action has been manifested to the -hutch in countless ways, both natural and miraculous; in fact Our Lord never seems to act in any notable way in the -.hutch without our tracing the instru• mental hand and power of Mary.— Father Faber.

While expressing the ffliction felt by the Holy Father a the painful e vent s and the many nds inflicted en the "sacrasanct the ri ts of Church," the Cardinal ds that his holiness cannot but c atulate the General and his Comp y by thus being singled out by a gislative Assembly because of their •ow of obedience to the Pope.

They had in a "glorious sense for the soldiers of Christ" been cited in the Order of the Day on account of their fidelity and devotion. The Pope was particularly proud that the Jesuits had responded to this persecution with " holy disdain?' The letter protests against the suggestion made that the Pope's authority was "almost illegitimate," and refers to a remark of Bismarck that the Pope cannot be considered an external factor in a country where there are large numbers of Catholics. The Pope, it is stated in conclusion, is renewing his prayers that the Spanish Chamber may realise what an immense disaster it would be, "not only for religion, but also for the culture and civilisation of Spain itself, to deprive it of the Apostolic and civil activities of its religious Orders, and especially of that Order which constitutes its own special national glory."

A very pretty girl, while visiting Dublin, wished to make a tour of the city on a jaunting car. Having selected the smartest-looking vehicle, she told the jarvey that she wanted "to engage him for the day." "Ma'am, your welcomeI" said Pat. "I only wish it was for lifel" Ile: "I am going to make you a present of a bracelet for your birthday. Which do you preter—silver or gold?" She was silentIle: "Well, which do you want?" She was still silent. He: "Why don't you speak? I ask you which do you prefer—silver or gold?" Then he suddenly remembered the proverb, and admired her great mod. esty. • • • • A crusty old bachelor in a railway train had the misfortune to be seated beside a woman with a baby that cried ceaselessly. The woman caressed the infant, tossed it up and down, and sang to it, but it only shrieked the louder. "Dear me,' she cried in despair, "I don't know what to do with thie child!" The bachelor leaned forward. "Shall I open the window for you, madam?" he asked. With swift strokes the artist painted in the coloured clouds of the lovely sunset. Presently he noticed an old man gazing sombrely at the result. "Ah," said the painter, "perhaps you too, love the sky pictures, my m end? Perhaps you have seen the lambent flame of dawn leaping across the livid east, the sulphurous islets floating in a lake of fife?" "No," replied the old man, "I haven't — not since I signed the pledge." • A traveller in Ireland hired a cab to take him into the country, and had not proceeded for when it pulled up at the foot of a steep hill. The driver appeared at the door. "What are you at, man?' said the traveller. "This isn't whereI told you to stop." "Whist, your honour, whist!" ejaculated Paddy. "I'm only deceivin' the beast. If I bang the door he'll think you're out, and he'll cut up the hill like the divil." • • • To his surprise He had proposed. she had accepted him. "Now, then, Oswald," she went on, "now that I have accepted you, you must go along and see uncle." Oswald gasped"Uncle?" he echoed. "But won't seeing your father be the best plan?" "Uncle "No, silly," said the girl. Dad comes aftersells the rings. wards." R astus and Liza visited Central Park Zoo. Everything went well until they came to the zebras. "What kind of an animal is dat?" demanded Liza, and for a moment Rastus was stopped dead, for he had never seen one either. But he remembered his Army days, and answered after g moment's hesitation: "Why, Lisa, dat is a sports model mule." Teacher: "Your nephew, my former pupil, has gone to America?" "So we thought, but we had a letter from him from Africa." "Oh, he was always weak in geography."

Maid: "When would you like to be awakened, madam?" The Haughty One: "I will ring when I wish to be awakened." • A.: "Does your wife help you economise?" B.: "Rather! She makes her own complexion these days." "Delighted to have met you. Come o ver, some evening soon, and bring your husband.' "Thank you so much, but we never go anywhere; you see, my husband is paralysed. . . ." "Don't mind that, dear; my hussbealfnds's that way half the time him* • The two suburban housewives were in earnest conversation. "Of course,' said Mrs. Gossup, "I should have dearly loved to have gone for a holiday to the Continent this rummer. but only one thing stopped me." Mrs. Ayres raised her eyebrows knowingly. "Your husband didn't want to go, I suppose," she replied. Mrs. Gossup sniffed haughtily. "That's just the trouble," she put in; "he did." • • Mrs. Knagg (with magazine) : "It says here that a South Sea Island wife isn't supposed to 'talk until her husband speaks first." Knagg: "I'll bet some of those taus bands are fools enough to do it." • Boss: "Jack, why are you such a dull boy?" Office Boy: "Well, you won't let me have an afternoon off to go to a football match an'—er—all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." • Doctor t "Give up smoking and you will prolong your life by 20 years." Patient: "But isn't it too late now?" "It is never too late." "Then I will start in ten years' time." • The bachelor had bought two new. laid eggs for the next morning's breakfast, and when he got home with them he noticed some writing on the shell of one of them. Of course, he read what the thing had to say. It ran like this: "I am a farmer's daughter, seventeen years of age, blonde hair and brown eyes, height and weight just about right, and complexion the same. If this should meet the eye of some young man who desires to wed a merry but industrious country girl, let him communicate with—" and then followed the merry country girl's name and address. Well, the young man was so pleased that he rushed off and telegraphed to the girl. He got her answer next mornmorning. She wired: "You're too late. Was married six years ago." • A man stepped into a hosier's the other day and asked the man behind the counter for a pair of sox. "What number?" he queried. "Tv I ror, pynotup ir eoo deri,dumbbell!
