The Case Against Birth Prevention No. 2. The Standing-Room-Only Myth

B y DR. EDWARD ROBERTS MOORE, in The Spectre of Depopulation. The spectre ui overpopulation has lung been dangled before our eyes. Population literature has reeked with horrifying pictures of a world in which there would be ''standing room only." This insistence in the past has indoctrinated the public mind to such an extent that it does not appreciate the notable silence on the subject of overpopulation at recent birth control conferences, and fails to realise that these fear-inspiring forecasts have long since been relegated to the limbo of discarded myths. Occasionally, it is true, incautious popular speakers at such gatherings, misled by Malthusian theory of geometric increase still offered fertile held for mad speculation as to the future of the race, embarass their associates by resurrecting some now discredited prophecies of evil. But students of population trends have known for some time, and, as far as the United States at least is concerned, the 1930 census shows, that today we have no problem of overcrowding. Rather do we shiver a little at the realisation that the reverse process has already begun, the downward trend is under way, the winding sheet of one more civilisation is in the weaving. "While the 'reformers' are bewailing overpopulation, the spectre of depopulation is abroad in the land, pursuing undisturbed a stealthy and devastating career." Erroneous Poulation Theories. Discussion of population theory has been going on for centuries; there was a certain amount of it even in antiquity. The Semites, Zoroaster of the Persians, the Greeks and the Romans had well-defined theories on marriage and parenthood. In the fifteenth, sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, a succession of Italian economists found the subject of much interest. These, as might be expected, made their approach from the point of view of economic principle, and were not slow to link up the growth of population with the increase of prosperity. It was a writer of this school, Gianunaria Ortes, a distinguished economist of the eighteenth century, who made one of t he most notable contributions to the literature of the subject' His "Reflections on the Growth of Peoples" at that time had a profound influence throughout Europe, and is still the object of serious and reflective study. Several decades later, Thomas Robert Malthus, a clergyman of the Church of England, undertook to deal with the subject of population. Whereas Ortes had dwelt upon the very important economic readjustments which must follow the gradual growth of population, and had warned his readers of the many social difficulties and hardships which expanding urban poplations would have to endure. Malthus, foreseeing an overcrowded world, went far into the field of speculation and propounded his famous formula of the geometrical increase of population as opposed to the arithmetical increase of natural resources. The importance of these two men is that all subsequent theoretical discussion of population has been influenced by their presentation of the case: in the English-speaking world by Malthus, and on the Continent by Ortes and the other great economists in France, Germany, and Italy who followed in his footsteps. The result is that most of the literature in England to-day is based on the totally erroneous assumption that population not only is increasing but will go on increasing, while in France, Germany and Italy the true trend of population seems to be known to a not inconsiderable number of people of the professional and law-making classes.

A. 'Certain Deficit Imminent.

To-day, however, even in Great Britain and the United States, the real state of affairs is gradually being recognised. The profound research and scholarly presentation of such men as Corrado Gini, president of the Central Statistical Bureau of Rome, Italy, Robert R. Kuczynski, of the Brookings Institution, Washington, . D.C. Louis I. Dublin, and Alfred .1. Lotka, statisticians of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, the late Dr. John Brownlee, in England. and others, have supplanted the fantastic and alarming pictures of the future drawn by CarrSaunders. Knibbs, East, Ross and their associates, with more reasoned, if less sensational, forecasts. As a matter

of fact, far from having cause for anxiety as to where the food supply of the future is to be found, the situation with which we are faced holds quite a different set of problems. What this situation is may be briefly stated: Every country in Europe which is not predominantly Slavic in origin and racial composition, is to-day actually showing a deficit in reproduction, and precisely the same thing is happening in the United States. This deficit, for the countries of northern and western Europe, averages about seven per cent, per generation. This is equivalent to saying that on any given day there are born in these countries only 93 per cent, of the number of children who would have to be born if from twenty-seven and a has' to twenty-eight years later the population were to be exactly the same. In Germany this decline amounts to ten per cent. per generation, and in Great Britain to nearly fifteen per cent! Even Italy, with her relatively high birth rate, shares in the general trend. In terms of the future, this means that it will take little more than a century for the population of Great Britain to sink to one-half of what it is to-day. In the United States, the most casual reader of the daily press cannot fail to have noticed the frequent references made to the constant fall in the birth rate. Taking into consideration only the ten-year period from 1920 to she 1930 census (there are no satisfactory figures before 1915), we find that the rate fell from 23.7 in 1920 to 21.4 in 1925, and in 1929 was only 18.9—a drop _ t s0 per cent- in a single decade!

Contributory Factors.

The lay reader, however, is likely to he misled by the fact that natality and mortality charts still show a substantial excess of births over deaths, and that in spite of the decline in the birth rate, our population in the same ten years showed an increase of 16 per cent: . This would seem at first glance to be in direct contradiction to the emphatic and startling statement contained in the preceding paragraphs. It is, however, as we shall see, quite possible to have an excess of births over deaths in a population already declining. Italy in 1929 had such an excess of 450,000, yet in Italy a genuine decline in reproduction had already set in. The increase of sixteen per cent. in t he United States during the last decade represents a purely statistical gain that was coincident with a real deficit. The explanation is that the population trend in any country at any time cannot be gauged by a mere comparison of the crude or uncorrected birth rates. These are figures so dependent upon a variety of influences as to make a correct interpretation of their significance a very difficult task indeed, and one involving the utilisation of no inconsiderable technical equipment in the science of statistics. The birth rate may be accidentally and temporarily stimulated at the same time that the death rate is similarly retarded, with the result that an actually declining population is given an appearance of vitality. Various factors may contribute to bring this about. In the first place, both the birth and death rates are affected by the age and sex composition of the population, which is in turn a viriable factor. At different times in the history of any country or group of countries, the proportion of women of child-bearing age to the whole popula tion may vary considerably. Evidently, when this proportion is high, that is, when there are more than the usual number of women of child-bearing age in the population, more children will be born, and the birth rate will be higher, not because per born more children are being mother (i.e., a higher fertility rate), but simply because • there are more mothers. Thus it is quite possible for the birth rate to be high while the fertility rate (the real measure of population' vitality) is low, even so low that these women of child-hearing age are not reproducing themselves. When this central age group, of which the women of child-bearing age form the female component, is large, one or both of the other two groups, the one comprised of those below fifteen and the other of those above fifty, will be proportionately small. Now it is from these two groups that the death rate receives its greatest increment. With the abnormally stimulated birth

The Commonweal," New York. rate comes an unduly retarded death rate, and from the combination results an altogether misleading excess of births over deaths, The theoretical situation just described is precisely exemplified in Europe and the United States to-day. Regarding Europe 1 quote again from Kuczynski: "In the present population of western and northern Europe the proportion of women of child-bearing age is particularly large, and the proportion of young children and old persons particularly small." Hence: ( (l() "The age composition of the population of western and northern Europe tends to lower the number of deaths." And: ( 2) "The age composition of the population of western and northern Europe tends to swell the number of births." in the United States the condition is the same. Because of the high birthrate of a generation ago, the central age group is now disproportionately large. Because of the recent low birth rate, the lower age group is small. The upper age group, though steadily increasing, is still relatively small. h ence, the birth rate, low though it is, if corrected according to age grouping, would be still lower, while the death rate would be augmented. Furthermore, when in due time the large central group becomes in turn the upper group, and the accompanying transfer of the small lower one into central position takes place, the birth rate, now low, will continue to shrink, while t he death rate will mount. As a matter of fact, a glance at a mortality table will show that the latter process has already commenced; the death rates of 1928 and and 1929 are both higher than that of 1927. when the lowest point on record. 11 4 was reached. False Appearance of Vitality. The death rate is also artifiically and temporarily retarded, and an actually declining population is given a false appearance of vitality by the extension of the expectancy of life. Again, this is what has happened in no-Slavic Europe and the United States. In 1890, every live-born infant in this country and Europe had an expectancy of life about forty-two years—that is, the probability, on the average, of attaining that age. To-day, an infant has a probability of reaching the age of fifty-nine years. This change is the result, first, of improved pre-natal hygiene, better obstetrical practice, and developed technique in meeting the perils of the first days and months of life; and, secondly, of medical advance in the field of epidemic diseases, which have been brought materially under control. Where many thousands died four decades ago of typhoid and diphtheria, and where malaria devastated whole regions, now comparatively few fall victims of these diseases. But the death rate, though it be lowered still more, cannot be abolished. As we have already seen, it rose throughout Europe and in North America in 1928 and again in 1929, and the e xpectation prevails in some authoritative quarters that we have seen the last of low death rates for many years pens in this regard—the conquest of nephritis and diabetes and cancer, and to come • But no matter what hap. even of the cardiac diseases, even tne extension of the average or mean length of life to seventy, to eighty, to ninety —in the last analysis the situation will not change! Since salvage over fifty years of age has no bearing on reproduction, any f urther advance can provide us with a surplus of births over deaths only while the actual process of extending t his average. continue& Advanced Life Expectancy. By way of illustration: Suppose that a machine age should produce a community where births and deaths were regulated with the exactit ude of a time clock. Suppose that in t his community there were just ten thousand people; that two thousand five hundred of these were women of 'hild-bearing age; and that these women would hear children to the number, for the sake of example, of Let us suptwo hundred each year. pose. finally, that each Year two hundred others, coming to the age of fifty, would die. Obviously the population of the community would remain constant at ten thousand. But now suppose that the expect-

ancy of life were suddenly raised from fifty to sixty, but that no corresponding extension of the child-bearing period were made. For ten years there would still be two hundred births a year, but no deaths, with the result that the population during that period would increase. to twelve thousand, but at the end of that period, the increase would cease. The fact that the expectancy of life was now sixty instead of fifty would cause no further increase and if other factors were to operate to lower the birth rate, the population would decrease just as quickly as though the expectancy of life had never been advanced. Su in northern and western Europe and in the United States to-day, the size of our poulation does show an increase, but it is caused by this advance in our exepctancy of life, and by the preponderance of the middle or productive age group in our population. But neither of these factors hi. a decisive bearing on the true vitality of our population.

Population Decline Proved.

How, then, is the true vitality of a population to be determined? Again, let us take a simple but pertinent example. Suppose that there are in a completely isolated community fifty families, each of them decidedly rulific, producing many children, but preouminantly male. The birth rate would be high and the population would increase, yet since the women of the community were not replacing themselves, or to put it another way, since the women of the present generation were not bequeathing to the next generation an equal number of women who would in turn bear children, the community would be doomed to extinction. The continuance of any population, therefore, evidently depends upon the successive replacement of its women, and its true vitality may be measured by the degree to which this is occurring. It a population is to remain merely. s table, therefore, each 1,000 women of this generation must bequeath 1,000 other women to the succeeding generation. Evidently this condition will not be verified if each 1,000 women of child-bearing age have just 1,000 daughters, but no more; this would make no :tows:mice for infant mortality, the diseases of childhood and adolencense, and all the other factors that combine to prevent a certain percentage of those born from actually reaching the childbearing age. S tatisticians, notably Kuczynski and Johannes Rahts for Europe, and Dublin and Lotka for the United States, have made elaborate calculations along these lines, and have reached this significant c onclusion: In all northern and western Europe and in the United States, the women of child-bearing age are not reproducing themselves. The following figures tell the tale: O. ) In Denmark in 1926, the female fertility rate was such that each 1,000 women of child-bearing age wonld during the course of their lives bear 1,277 liveborn female children, 1,097 (1,030 lii 1927) of whom would in turn survive through the child-bearing period. Denmark therefore, in 1926, the population was very slightly more than replacing itself. (2) In Sweden in 1926, t he corresponding two figures were 1.430 and 1,090 (figures. for 1927 not (3) In France in 1926, available). each 1,000 women of child-bearing age would bear only 1,159 daughters,' of whom but 937 (910 in 1927) would survive, a deficit of 63. (4) in. Germany, the gross figure was 1,070, and the net, 890 (830 in 1927), a deficit of 110. (5) England and Wales, with a gross of 1,050 and a net of 880 (820 in 1927), show a deficit of 120. Dr. Kuczynski (op. cit., p. 54) concludes:. "According, therefore, to the fertility and mortality in western and northern Europve in 1926, 1,000 mothers gA.se birth to 930 future mothers only.

BOGUS OATH OF THE K.C.

The following extracts will he of interest to Catholics who are frequently called upon to correct "inaccuracies," promulgated by enemies of their Faith. The Bogus Oath of the Knights of Columbus, like the bogus Jesuit oath, has been made to play many parts by bigots, and to serve various causes of a questionable character. It is a hoary old sinner, now, but it has not lost any of its pristine alacrity when dirty work is to be done. "The Knights of Columbus in Peace

The Federal elections that have just been conducted witnessed many cast* 't! Australian, differen• forms of so :Citing the vote of the traditi but by far the most alarming in the ken of this journal was an appeal in the torn- of a pamphlet ii.:uthorised by an in lie.

' informati o• of the r ur, erical strength 'f th.. Rom in Catholic hers of the Parliamentary Labour- Party and the Ministers of the Goyermnent. The "Westralian Judean." being non-gentile, can animadvert, without prejudice, the introduction of sectarianism into practical politics. It has been the proud boast of the Australian that he is not given to religious intolerance and it is regretted that this instance holies the claim. In the newly elected Parliament. Australia does not require legislators of any one specific religious persuasion, but rather the election of men of sincerity and capability to lead the country to national prosperity. In the early history of Melbourne a fine instance is provided of religious goodwill in the erection of the first Roman Catholic Chapel. towards the cost of which many Protestants had contributed, and at the deFather dication of which a number of non-Catholics were present. Geoghegan, the first priest appointed .to the district,, breathed a noble spirit in his sermon when he said: "Our thanks are gratefully offered to the esteemed individuals of other persuasions who have so generously aided us in erecting a place to worship God according to our conscience, and we pledge ourselves to maintain to the utmost of our power, the liberal Christian spirit which at present distinguishes the district of Port ghilip. The other obligation I desire to impress on you is founded on the very essence of the Christian religion: it is the cultivation of kind liberal feeling and deportment towards the members of all religious persuasions. The strife of zeal is bigotry, and bigotry is the greatest evil with which a community can be afflicted." A little of that spirit is patently needed in the conduct of civic and Parliamentary elections in Australia. [Thanks, "Judean."—Ed. 'Record."1

and War- has the following concerning the Fourth Degree and the Bogus Oath:— When two men. Charles Megonegai, a printer, and Clarence H. Stage, a barber, were charged by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania with circulating the "oath" in February, 1931. "wilfully and maliciously exposing.- so the charge read. "the Knights of Columbus as a body.- Charles B. Dowd, upon whose affidavit the arrests were made, Supreme the James A Flaherty, Knight. and Philip A. Hart, Master of the Fourth Degree. to public hatred, contempt. and ridicule, to their great damage. disgrace, scandal and infamy," the first step was taken in a series of prosecutions which terminated the enterprise of those circulating the "oath." Supreme Knight Flaherty. on the ,tancl, testified that: "This alleged oath is a tissue of falsehoods from the first word to the last—absolutely false. This prosecution was brought simply to vindicate the Knights of Columbus on account of the wide circulation given to this vile and scurrilous circular, the purpose of which was to breed strife and arouse religious bigotry. The alleged oath is absolutely baseless, and of such a flagrant character that it is indeed surprising that anyone would give it the slightest credence. It was so persistently circulated that the Knights of Colpmbus were compelled to take steps to refute it. and we thought criminal prosecution would be the best way to do it." In Los Angeles in 1924. the State Deputy of California submitted the entire work, ceremonies and *pledges of the Order to a committee of Freemasons. made up of Messrs. Motley Hews Flint. 33rd. Degree Past Grand Master of Masons of California: Dana Reid Weller. 32nd. Degree Past Grand Master of Masons of California: William Rhodes Hervey, 33rd. Degree Past Master and Master of Scottish Rite Lodge. and Samuel E. Burke, 32nd. Degree Past Master and Inspector of Masonic District. These gentlemen issuer' the following statement: "We hereby certify that by authority of the highest officer of the Knights of Columbus in the State of California. who acted' under instructions from the Supreme Officer of the Order in the United States. we were furnished a

primarily for the purpose of ascertaining whether or not a certain alleged oath of the Knights of Columbus, which has been printed and widely circulated, was in fact used by the Order, and whether if it was not used, any oath, obligation or pledge was used which was or would be offensive to Protestants or Masons, or those who are engaged in circulating a document of peculiar viciousness and wickedness. We find that neither the alleged oath nor any oath or pledge bearing the remotest resemblance thereto in manner. matter, spirit or purpose is used or forms a part of the ceremonies of any degree of the Knights of Columbus. The alleged oath is scurrilous, wicked. and libelous, and must be the invention of an impious and venernous mind. We find that the Order of the Knights of Columbus, as shown by its rituals, is dedicated to the Catholic religion, charity and patriotism. There is no propagnda proposed or taught against Protestants or Masons or persons not of Catholic faith. indeed, Protestants

and Masons are not referred to, directly or indirectly, in the ceremonials and pledges. The ceremonial of the Order teaches a high and noble patriotism, instills a love of country, inculcates reverence for law and order, urges the conscientious and unselfish performanse of civic duty, and holds up the Constitution of our country as the richest and most precious possession of a We can find Knight of the Order. nothing in the entire ceremonials of the Order that to our minds could be objected to by any person." A committee of forty-eight prominent non-Catholic citizens of Indiana's polis, in 1914, published in local newspapers the result of their examination of the facts and litigation concerning "Knowing," they the bogus "oath." declared, after a summary of the history of the "oath" cases, "that the 'fake oath is false. we hold that all good citizens will join us in denouncing its circulation in Marion County and in Indiana. to the end that people of all creeds may dwell in peace and harmony as becomes the highest ideals of true and patriotic American citizenship.A lie, and a mischievous lie, such as is the bogus K.C. oath, is hard to killWhen the Father of Mischief has adopted such things as tools of his trade, he protects them because so long as there are fools in the world they will be useful.

LATEST NEWS FROM IRELAND.

Facing a Big Task

Cardinal MacRory's Exposure of Absurd Claim

DUBLIN SLUMS TO GO The City Manager and Town Clerk of Dublin (Mr. Gerald J. Sherlock), in an interview with a representative of "The Standard." tells what the conditions of housing are in Dublin. It is hardly possible, says "The Standard" representative, to exaggerate the gravity of the slum problem in Dublip. Mr. Sherlock said: In the centre of Dublin at the pre, ent moment there are 4,830 tenements, in which about 25,000 families are housed. Of these, some 23,000 lived in oneroom tenements in 1926. and about 21.000 are in one-room tenements now. Some of these families consist of only two or three persons, some of twelve. There are about 6.000 families of five And upwards housed under these dreadful conditions, and we must deal with them first of all. Since 1924 we have built some 4,500 houses in suburban or semi-suburban areas, and 120 tenement flats of two, three or four rooms each. Each dwelling is provided with separate services, hot and cold water, and bath. By providing a separate entry for each family, in the case of the flats, we have a ssured that family privacy will be guardedThe better-off workers can afford to live at some distance from their work, and these' have almost all removed to the semi-suburban districts where houses have been provided under different housing schemes. Those left in the slums are almost entirely of the casual labour class, and they represent the poorest of the poor. A casual labourer cannot pay rent and fares to and from the city when very often he must go for days and weeks without work; he must also be on the spot to be ready—in the middle of the night, if necessary—to turn out at a moment's notice when the chance of work presents itself. It would be impossible, then, to expect these people to move out of the districts in which they live. But they must be decently housed. How can it best be done with our present resources? The conditions all impose the blockdwelling system. Blocks of flats must replace the tenements. It would be ideal to be able to give every family a house, however small, hut the question of space must be considered. Take, for instance, Beresforet Street. where 3.000 families of tenement dwellers were displaced under a housing Only 300 cottages could be scheme. built on the site which was cleared. We must try, then. to provide each family, taking first the larger families whose needs are most urgent, with a separate flat, self-contained, where decency and self-respect and healthy family life will be ensured. We aim at housing 2.000 families per year for the next five years in flat dwellings of two or three rooms, with conveniences, which will be let at the very moderate rent of 2/6 per week. It is hardly necessary to say that this will entail a loss, but the policy of the Corporation in this matter has been, and will be, as generous as their means allow. I should mention, too, that there are no communal washing rooms or other communal arrangements like those existing in some places on the Continent where the flat system is in use These things are of doubtful value, and tend to weaken the independence and encroach on the privacy of the family. Under the new Housing Bill a certain amount will be done towards recondiPrivate tioning existing tenements. experiments in this line have given most satisfactory results, as can be seen, f or instance, at Hogan Place. The Corporation will buy a limited number of existing tenements and hand them over to approved philanthropic societies for reconditioning and adminThe Government will proistration. vide half the cost of reconditioning and with no capita) charges, free administration. and only rates to be paid, ii will be possible to let accommodation in these at as low as Is. or Is 6d per week. But this is only a drop in the bucket The main problem is still to be solved. We are doing our best, but our best is still inadequate through lack of sufficient funds.

Public interest must be aspused; our people must see their duty to their less fortunate countrymen; they must come forward, with help; we must have money to carry on and extend our work, and clear out the plague-spots which are a national disgrace.

Metropolitan Gardai on Retreat 400 Attend ParadeThe annual retreat for the Dublin Metropolitan Gardai concluded at St. Francis Xavier's Church, Gardenerstreet, Dublin, on Sunday, 29th. November. The exercises were conducted by the Rev. Timothy J. Halpin, 5.s., and the attendance, says "The Standard," was a record. On Sunday morning over 400 Guards assembled in Mountjoy-square and paraded with their officers to the church for the 8.30 Mass. It was inspiring to see so many men in uniform approach the altar together. After Mass they marched back to Mountjoy-square, where the dismissal was given. General O'Duffy, Chief Commissioner, a ttended the closing exercises at 6.30 p.m.. when all renewed their Baptismal Vows and received the Papal Blessing. A large number of the Dublin Metropolitan Gardai are members of the Sodality of Our Lady and St. Martin established in Gardiner-street Church many years ago for the Dublin Metropolitan Police. This is believed to be the oldest Sodality in the Englishspeaking world whose members are recruited exclusively from a police force.

Ancient Irish Church , Renovated The ancient Church of St. Patrick's. Clonoe, Co. Tyrone, has recently undergone considerable renovation, and although the scars which it bore have disappeared from view, they will long be remembered, especially by the older generation, who learned with pride from their parents the defence made about a century ago to save the old church from Orange desecration. The exterior of the church is beautifully pebble-dashed, and the interior completely renovated, with an extension and gallery. The original church was built in 1773, through the efforts of Rev. Jas. Devlin, P.P.. to whose memory a tablet is erected. He was appointed by Most Rev. Dr. Rielly to the pastoral charge of Clonoe, Ballyclog and Donaghendrv. In 1893, Rev. John Rock became P.P. It was Father Rock who built the parochial house and the Church of St. Columbkill, King's Islaid. He fearlessly championed the rights of the tenant farmers, and his name is still a household word. A long list of parish priests of Clonoe previous to the Reformation, is still extant. All the names cannot be traced, but it is interesting to note that Rev. John Loughran, a former parish priest, of Clonoe. was ordained by Blessed Oliver Plunket, at Ballybarrack, Dundalk, in the year 1686. He was 61 years in the parish of Clonoe, and is buried in Clonoe church.

His Eminence ',ordinal MacRory spoke bluntly at Armagh on the occasion of a lecture by Father John Ryan, ST, concerning ths Protestant pretension to Apostolic succession in Ireland. "I shall be sincerely sorry," he said, "if I give any pain or offence to any of our separated brethren, among whcra I have many friends; but when the truth is openly challenged. and the salvation of souls 's at stake.I f.!- el bound to proclaim the truth, without ony mincing of words, and at any cost. I say then that the Protestant Church in Ireland, and the same is true of the Protestant Church anywhere else, is net only not the rightful representative of the early Irish Charc:1, but s not even a part of the Cloorott of' Christ. "That is my proposition. The Protestant Church here er elsewhere is no part of the Churcn that Christ founded "I am not going to ask our separated brethren or you to take that upon my word. I am gulag to prove it, and to ,prove it from sacred Scripture. Many arguments might he adduced, but T. shall confine myself to one, one that is drawn from the words of Our Blessed Lord Himself The Voies of God. "They are the very last words of the Gospel of St. Matthew, :a portion of the risen Christ's g.-eat. commission to the Apostles and their successors. St. Matthew tells that on that solemn occasion Our Lord said: 'All power is given to Me in Heaven and in earth; go. therefore, make disciples of all the nations. baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost, teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you, and, behold, I am with you all days', even to the consummation of the world.' "Now the words to which I invite attention are. as I have said, the closing words: 'Behold I am with you all days even to the consummation of the world.' In the first place, it is clear that Our Lord directed His words on the occasion not only to the Apostles. hut also to their successors: for He knew that the Apostles. in their short lives, could not teach all the nations, and also that, if there were question only of the Apostles. and not also of their successors there was no need to promise to be with them even to the' consummation of the world. "He promised. therefore, in these words His presence or assistance to His Church for all time; and now I want you and any Protestants whom my words may reach to note what this implies, that even Almighty God color not be with a thing that did not exist. "Hence we have here - clear promise of Christ that His Church would survive all vicissitudes and exist all days till the end of time. 'I am with you all days' clearly and undeniably implies You shall be in existence all das. -Hence, unless it be blasphemously asserted that Our Lord's words were vain, the Church He founded must have existed in every past age, and must continue to exist in every age all days ---in fact, till time shall be no more. "Now, bearing this in mind, let us ask whether the Protestant Church of Ireland or of anywhere else existed in 'Phone B5811,

every age since the time of Christ. His ton- bears unquestionable witness that it did not. "It appeared in these islands in th sixteenth century. primarily throughe the action of a lustful monarch, who was also a cruel, heartless husband. The Voice of History. "For ten centuries, from 500 to 1500 A.D., there was not even the sem. blance of a Protestant Church to he earth. Will anyone show us how a Church which had absolutely no existence for a thousand years, more than half the entire period of the Christian era, can possibly be the Church founded by Our Blessed Lord, which was to exist all days?" Father Ryan's lecture was on "St Patrick, Apostle of Ireland." It may he said that it inaugurated the Oath lie campaign of exposure of the Protestnt claims which will be pursued when ever necessary throughout 1932. As your readers are already aware, the Episcopalian Church intends to stage a pageant of St. Patrick and to have special lectures and services, in celebration of the fifteenth centenary of the saint's coming to Ireland to begin his work of evangelisation. These functions will be spread over the entire year, but they will, of course —as was foreseen several years ago— be completely overshadowed by the Eucharistic Congress Nevertheless, they will not be ignored. The Ca,tholie Truth Society of Ireland is issuing a commemorative book, to which the leading Irish authorities, Professor Evin MacNeill, Rev. Paul Walsn. Rev. M. H. NfacInevrey, 0.P•, 'Rev. Myle.4 V.

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

MR. M. O'REILLY.—RIP. Mr. Michael O'Reilly, whose death occurred at his home in Camela-street, North Perth, on Tuesday, 19th. inst., was fcr very many years a well-known and nighly respected member of the Catholo: laity. The late Mr. O'Reilly was born in Ireland, and came out to Australia at an early age. After spending some years in the Eastern States, he came to W.A. about forty years ago. For many years he resided in Kalgoorlie, where his activities in all Church matters were much appreciated. Some years ago Mr. O'Reilly was presented with the medal "Pro Ponti. fice et Ecclesia," in recognition of his services to the Church in Western Australia. On Wednesday, 20th. inst., a Requiem Mass was celebrated in St. Brigid's Church, West Perth, the celebrant being the Rev. Father Moss. The funeral then took place at Karrakata Cemetery, the Rev. Father Doyle officiating. The late Mr. O'Reilly is survived by a widow and four children— Eileen (Sister M. Victoria, Loreto Convents, Mary (Mrs. C. Lefebyre), R.I.P. John, and Michael THE LATE JOHN COLGAN. The ranks of the old pioneers were f urther depleted when, on January 10, the late Mr. John Colgan passed to his Deceased, who was e ternal reward. 67 years of age at the time of his death, was born at Arahien, N.S.W., on AugIn his youth the late ust 6, 1864. Mr. Colgan was a stockman and shearer, and often related stories of hardships endured in the never-never of N.S.W. before railways had penetrated the innermost parts of the State. It was in the coal mines of Newcastle that he was first connected with mining. From Newcastle he migrated to the W.A. Goldfields in the early nineties, having "blazed the trail" from Southern Cross with his brother Richard. who predeceased him in 1912. Mr. Colgan followed mining pursuits in and about these fields for nearly 40 years. He was in Kanowna during its "peak" days and from Kanowna came to Boulder, where the family has been resident since 1900. Mr. Colgan worked underground in practically every mine on the belt, and even after he relinauished work was ever interested in any new development which took place en the field At the time of his retirement two years ago deceased was employed on the Croesus Proprietary Gold Mine. Mr. dolgan was a man of sterling character and unassuming manner, whose never failing sense of justice and tolerance earned for him the esteem and respect of all who came in contact with him. On 'Monday, January 11th.. at All Hallows Church, Boulder, Requiem Mass was celebrated by Rey. Father R yan for the repose of the soul of deceased. From the church the funeral

All his children received their early education at All Hallows' Convent, Boulder, the sons proceeding later to the Christian Brothers College, Kalgoorlie. Three members of the family have attended the University of WA., two of whom hold degrees, the third hoping to complete this year. To the deceased's relatives it must be a source of great consolation that their late husband, father, and brother was fortified by the last rites of the Church shortly before his demise.

The instructions of Signor Mussolini to heads of the provinces and communes in Italy enjoining strict enforcement of rest on Sundays and holidays of obligation, have been widely welcomed. The action of the Italian Premier is an important step forward to secure a better observance of Sundays and other days dedicated in a special manner to the public worship of God. The law of 1907 tended to repress unnecessary labour, but its provisions were subjected to arbitrary interpretation and not rigorously enforced.

The Mary of the Gael (By MICHAEL WALSH.) One autumn day, on the fine white sands of Ostende, an aged Belgian woman and myself were discussing Ireland. She did not know much about the island in the western seas, but the little she did know concerned its Golden Era. And one of the saints to whom she prayed was our own St. Brigid—the "Mary of the Gael." This was not to be wondered at, since the fame of Brigid had long ago spread beyond the shores of Ireland— yea, far along the mer-du-nord by which I stood on that September day, and as far southwards as the .Appenines We read of her fame in Germany and in Switzerland. I am sure that her name is still loved in the vallevs•around ancient Gaul and that the hardy husbandmen of Goldsmith's "Traveller" prayed to her at dawn. and dark. A French historian writes:- We begin with St. Brigid, because not only is there no saint so much reverenced in Ireland after the Blessed Virgin herself, but she is also celebrated in the entire Latin Church, and even heretics themselves, notwithstanding all their false principles, cannot refrain from honouring her." This French writer could not be taking into account the Ireland of 1931, for it is a depressing fact that devotion to-day to St. Brigid in her own country is not at all what it should he. The average girl is not sufficiently acquainted with the life and labours of this remarkable Saint and patroness of the Gael. We learn from one of the popular biographies of the saint that one of her earliest years was

her boundless charity to the poor and her love for the afflicted. This shows that she felt the sorrows of life keenly and that her sympathy was selfless and practical. There is a lesson here for our feminine age of powder puff and jazz—the age of sophistication and the modern girl. Life to Brigid was a serious affair—not something to be danced away in a mad whirl of excitement. She knew that her Master had walked a hard road to Calvary and that those who would follow Him would have hard roads to travel too. Beside the flower of her virginity the flower of her charity always flourished. "So great was the power of her example that princes and nobles were induced to give liberally from their abundance to those in want. To the latest hour of her life the Saint enjoined the practice on all those over whom she had any influence." We plead for a wider study and imitation of the life of St. Brigid. An acquaintance with the true story of St. Brigid's life and character would give us much food for thought. When we look at a painting of her in her soft pastoral surroundings we must remember that behind the sweet poetry of the picture is the prose of life—ths never-ending series of separate acts of sacrifice—the struggle with self—the polishing to perfection—the unceasing effort that goes to the making of a saint The world that blinds its eyes to the spiritual and speaks in the interests of soicalled humanitarianism will ever remember Florence Nightingale, who indeed was a great woman, hut it will not champion in the market-place the heroism of its saints. It will not admit that Francis Xavier, judged as a mere human being, was a greater man than Julius Caesar; nor will it concede that Francis of Assisi is the world's classic example in moral )urage.

Coming back to Brigid and her lesson for our country, there is grave danger that the beloved subject of gossip writers—the modern girl—may be. come too much of a reality in Ireland- Here in Brigid is a strong character—a heroine amongst the world's women. whose life of virtue and charity must have a steadying and refining influence on the girl who would It is so become intimate with it. human, while it is saintly, and human nature can never be classed amongst eld-fashioned lumber or old-fashioned ways. It is with the modern girl wherever she goes. All that I could write of Brigid—the Queen of Irish womanhood—the patroness of our nation—is well summed up in a passage in the "Book of Lismore.And it is this:— "Everything that Bi-igid sought of God was granted to her, for it was her desire to comfort the poor, to cancel distress, and to relieve every misery.

Downside Abbey, Downside Abbey is situated at Mount Pleasant, Downside, in Somersetshire. The Benedictines have resided there since 1814. and their priory was constituted an abbey in 1899 by Leo XIII. The foundation itself, however, goes back much further- The original foundation was made by English Benedictines at Douai, Flanders, in 1605. During the French Revolution the monks were imprisoned until 1785, when they were allowed to proceed to England. They found refuge with a former pupil at Acton Burnell, in Shropshire, whence in 1814 they moved to their present location, where there is also a school for the sons of English Catholic gentry. modelled er. the English public The abbey grounds contain schools. the monastery. school buildings, guest house. and the church, one of the most beautiful modern Gothic structures in Eng:and.

Death of Mrs. Mary Tulley A wide circle of friends in this State, and beyond it, will regret the passing o f Mrs. Mary Tully, beloved wife of Mr. William Tully, of Victoria Park, on Saturday evening, the 23rd. inst., after a long illness, borne with truly Christian fortitude. The Tully family were among the earliest settlers in the district. They saw it grow from a straggling village into the pretentious and populous suburb it is to-day. Their first little home on the Albanyroad was made there forty years ago, with the bush all around. It was a t ypical Irish home, where hospitality flowed with a "God bless you" to the friendly caller, and in heaped-up measure to the exiles from the Old Land; a place where religion was treasured with all the spiritual fervour of the old pioneer Catholics who blazed the trails e‘ Faith in this country. The late Mrs. Tully left her native Cahir, in ounty Tipperary, in her early teens, and was for many years a resident in Sydney, N.S.W., where she married in 1S97. Attracted to the Golden West by the glowing reports which came fr xn the Goldfields, the young couple -Heel their fortunes here They had their vicissitudes in turn with the early pioneers who came from the East, but their hearts were big and their faith was strong, and with a rich courage they built their home in the West and raised a fine Catholic family of sons and daughters that were a joy and blessing to them through all their years—the youngest of the sons, Father Maurice Tully, of Inverell, N.S.W. the happy parents had the privilege of giving to the Altar. As the years went on the original home was vacated for a more commodious one, to which the kindly atmosphere of friendliness, hornliness and hospitality was trans. planted. Of the original shack, the late Father Tom O'Grady, who had a very high regard for the Tully family, and who spent many happy moments there. wrote:

It seems as if God granted to other saints to help us in some particular necessity; but I know by experience that the glorious St. Joseph assists us generally in all necessities.— St. Teresa. Never speak ill of anyone, any more than you would of yourself; and when you shall rejoice upon hearing others speak ill of you, it will be a sign that you are advancing in virtue.

WORK WELL DONE. Francis was already in a dying condition when he set out for Assisi a last time. Feeling the hand of death upon him. he had himself carried to Portiunoula. that he might breathe his last sigh where he had received his calling and On the where his Order was born. way, he asked to be let down, and with a painful effort invoked a touching blessing on his beloved Assisi. It was in a hut-like shelter, near the Portiuncula Chapel. in the plain below Assisi, that Francis died on Saturday When near e vening, October 3, 1226. the end. he had two Brothers sing the praises of death for him. One rebuked him for his cheerfulness, and declared that he was scandalised. But Francis replied: "By the grace of the Holy Ghost I am so completely united to my Lord and God that I may well be allowed to rejoice and be glad in Him." Just before his farewell to earth, Francis. like his Master, had bread brought to him and, breaking, " I have done my part.- he said. "may Christ teach you to do yours." Haying asked his Brethren to remove his poor habit, he lay on the bare ground. covered only with a borrowed cloth. He wanted to die like Christ, Then he had a Brostripped of all ther read the Passion of Christ to him. Finally, in a faltering voice, he entoned At the concluding the 141st. psalm verse: "Bring my soul out of prison." Francis's soul was carried away from earth by his sister death. When Francis died. he was only in his He had started a forty-fifth Year. spirit and a work which would last to the end of time. He was absorbed in his work, but only till the call come for eternal rest and reward. Then he bade farewell to the world as joyfully a s a man lays down his tools after a day of hard work well done.

Politeness disarms criticism and predisposes people in your favour. A sympathetic mistress is usually able to keep her maids, and the shop assistant who cultivates this quality will have his counter crowded with cuetomerS. Never rest upon your oars, but always try to improve upon the performance of your work. Quiet, thoughtful contemplation is the only means for gaining stability and wisdom. There is no occasion to envy Our Lady and St. John, who stood at the foot of the Cross. Their privilege becomes ours every time we hear Holy Mass. You can make Our Lady a member of your household by the practice of the Family Rosary every evening. What you are and where you are will be determined by the character of vcrur habitual thoughts. The world will be all the better when women return to their traditional roles of home-makers and moral counsellors

WHAT OUR LORD WANTS. Let us not imitate those faint-hearted souls who, having embraced the call to a perfect life, and, believing by an extraordinary delusion that they have found rest and escaped the field of battle, find themselves suddenly surprised and discouraged by the first temptation which assails them, and then make their lamentations before God and man. "Ah, my dear souls!" the loving St. Francis de Sales replied to them, "do you think that perfection consists of sweetness and spiritual comfort, and that it is only necessary to sleep peaceably in the boat and land without any struggle in the haven of safety? Would you resemble those soldiers of a garrison, who have all their happiness in times of peace in a comfortable town, who make good cheer, and become masters in the house of their hosts, and yet call themselves soldiers, and are valiant and courageous so long as they in are never in battle or warfare? t ruth, Our Lord does not need these oslcliers in His army—He needs fight. ing men and conquerors: not cowards!"—Monsignor A.

The smart of poverty, says a spiritual writer, is allayed even more by one word of true sympathy than by the alms we give. Alms coldly and harshly given irritate rather than soothe. Even when we cannot give, words of kindness are as a precious balm; and when we can give, they are the salt and seap soning of our alms.

The successors of Masesaia have returned to reawaken the flame, and the movement of conversions is takin up again. I looked around me.

It was the cold grey hours of early The suburban house was morning. wrapped in silence. Suddenly the telephone bell began to peal out. "Who the dickens is ringing me up at this infernal hour of the morning?" shouted the enraged householder, as he hurried from his bedroom to the stairs. Another bed-room door opened and his (laughter looked out. ' Oh, dad.' she cried. "it's John, I expect. He told me he wouldn't sleep until he found out if you'd let us get Please speak nicely to him, married. father." In the course of his morning walk the benevolent old gentleman met the village innkeeper. "By the way." he said, "a poor fellow came to me the other morning and said he was starving. I sent him up to your inn and told him to have a meal, and I said I would pay for it. ' "That's right, sir," replied the innkeeper. "How much do I owe you, then?" asked the old gentleman• "Four-and-six in all, sir,- replied the innkeeper. The old gentleman looked aghast. 'What ever did he have?" he asked. " Five pints of beer and a packet of cigarettes." he was told. * Smith asked his friend Ikey, the tishshop keeper, the reason why so many Jews have first-class brains. "Fish!" came the emphatic reply. "Is that so.- exclaimed Smith. "I shall have to try some." "I could sell you some nice fish for five shillings,- said Ikey eagerly. "Right, send it along," Smith ordered. The fish was delivered, and a fortnight later the two men met. "How did you like your fish?" asked the Jew. "Very nice,- replied the Englishman' "But I must say that I thought it was rather a small amount for five shillings." ". ha," Ikey nodded, "it's beginning ) work already." Mr. Sheckles, the wealthy business man, was in conversation with his office-boy. "And don't you ever forget this, my lad," he said, "I was only an officeboy when I started work. I had to start right at the bottom.- He paus eel, and added: "Everything in life's the same. It doesn't matter what you want to be. you must start at the bottom." The lad shook his head. "You're a bit wrong there, sir," he said. "Wrong!" snapped the business man. 'Can you tell me a single job where

Freddy returned from school and met a frowning mother. "I've just been talking to Mrs. Smith," she said. "She told me that you gave one of her little boys a black eye." He nodded. "But haven'tI told you not to fight"• she scolded. "Yes, mum," he said: "but, you see, Those boys are twins, it's like this. and I wanted some way of telling them apart." Benders was talking earnestly to his friend Brown. "You know, Brown," he said, "I'm drinking far too much." "Well, why don't you cut it down a hit?" suggested the other. "I've tried." said Benders, "hut it isn't my fault. It's my friends who are to blame. They keep on asking me to have a drink, and in trying to be sociable I soon find I've had too much." Brown looked thoughtful. "Look here," he said, "I'll tell you how to keep from having too much. The next time you think you have been sociable enough, and when you've had all the whisky you require, don't let your friends force you to have any more. Call for a sarsaparilla.' Benders shrugged his shoulders. "That's the trouble," he replied. "When I've had _all the whisky I really want I can't say sarsaparilla." Lane, the commercial traveller, entered the restaurant and espied his friend at a near-by table. As soon as he was seated he became a ware of his friend's scanty fare. "What's the matter, old boy?" he asked. "On diet?" "What's the matter, old boy?" he asked. "On diet?" The other commercial traveller shook his head sadly. "No," he replied: "on commission.* A patriotic Scotsman had induced t wo English friends to go to Argyllshire for a holiday. "Well, how did you enjoy yourselves?" he asked them on their return. "Did you have good weather?" "There was a shower on our first day,- said one of them. "Didn't I tell vou that it was all lies about the Highlands being wet?' 'asked the Scotsman. "That shower hadn't ended when we came home!" was the reply. Laura (romantically) : "I wonder why the waves sob and moan so when they break upon the beach?" Frank: "For the simple reason that they're broke, I suppose!" Irate parent: "No, sir! You can't have her! I won't have a son-in-law who has more brains than to want to marry a girl with no more sense than my daughter has shown in allowing you to think you could have her!" Little Marion had been sharply reprimanded by her grandmother's feelings. Later she was found at the medicinecabinet, and when questioned she replied: "I'm looking for the arnica to rub on grandma!"
