Simple Lessons in Gregorian Chant (By Rev. T. W. Purcell, 0.M.I., B.A.)

I ntroduction. It is almost thirty years since Pius X. issued his "Motu Proprio" on Sacred Music. Great was the task to which the holy Pontiff set himselt, when he began the work of the reformation of Sacred Music, and the restoration of the Church's great musical heritage, the Gregorian Chant, or, as it is variously called, Plain Chant or Plainsong. Not in a day was that reformation and restoration to be effected. Such a work is measured in years, not days.- And so it is that thirty years have elapsed and that movement has only just begun to effect in any marked way the music of the Cilium at least in EngFor many lisn-speaking countries. years past the more obvious abuses The one time have been remedied. favourite Masses of the classical Masters have been to a great extent abandoned, or greatly altered, so as to be made conformable to the laws of the Church (at least so their Editors tell But the Gregorian restoration us). has only begun to make real headway within the last five or six years. To that restoration our present Holy Father has contributed in no small degree uy nis Apostolic Constituuon On tne Liturgy and on promoting Gregorian Chant and Sacred Music, puolisned Nu Lie Lter iniseceinuer sUL11., WA. troduction to the study 01 exiegorian music could be given than a few apt duk.th quotations from these rapai meats. rius X. begins his Motu Proprio as. follows: "One of the chief duties of the pastoral office . . . is certainly to maintain and increase the beauty of the house 01 God, in which the noly

mysteries of our taith are ceieurateu, in which the Christian people come together to receive the grace ui the oacra-

ments, to assist at the holy acrilice of the Altar, to adore the blessed bacrament, and to join in the public ancl solemn liturgical prayers of tne N othing then snotne be allowed in tue sacred buiimng that couiu disturb or lessen the piety and the devotion of the Iaithiul, nothing that could be a reasonable motive tor 'displeasure ui

We do not propose to touch on all the abuses that may occur in these We devote Our attention tomatters. day to one of the commonest ot abuses, one of the most difficult to uproot, and one that We sometimes have to regret, even in places where everything else, the beauty and splendour of the building, the dignity and accurate order of the ceremonies, the number of the clergy who attend, the gravity and piety of the celebrant eleserve the We speak of abuses highest praise. in the matter of the singing and 01 sacred music. And, indeed, whether as a result of the changeable nature of this art, or of the many alterations in people's taste and custom during the lapse of time; whether from the unhappy influence of secular and theat r eal music on that of the Church, or from the pleasure excited by the music itself, which it may not be easy to retain within proper limits; whether, lastly, it be because of the many prejudices on this subject which sometimes obstinately remain, even among persons of great piety and high authority, there certainly is a constant tendency in sacred music to neglect the right principles of an art used in the service of the liturgy, principles expressed very clearly in the laws of the Church, in the decrees of general and provincial councils, and in the repeated commands of the supreme Pontiffs, Our predecessors." The Encyclical then goes on to praise those who had made efforts in the right direction in this important matter, and then continues: "Wherefore, in order that no one may in future put forward as an excuse that he does not rightly know his duty, in order that all possible uncertainty concerning laws already made may be removed, We consider it advisable to sum up shortly the principles that govern the sacred music of liturgical services, and to present again the chief laws of the Church against faults in this matter. And therefore We publish this Our Instruction (motu proprio et ex certa scientia), and We desire with all the authority of Our apostolic office, that it have the force of law as a canonical code concerning sacred music, and We impose upon all by Our own signature the duty of most exact obedience to it." There follow some twenty-nine general principles governing the use of music of all kinds at liturgical func-

tions. The following quotation bears directly on our subject: "Sacred music must eminently possess the qualities which belong to liturgical rites, especially holiness and beauty, from which its other characteristic, universality, will follow spontaneously. It must be holy, and therefore avoid everything that is secular, both in its self and in the way in which it is performed. It must really be an art, since in no other way can it have on the minds of those who hear it that effect which the Church desires in using in her liturgy—the art of sound. Bus is must also be universal in this sense, namely, that, although each country may use in its ecciesizstical music whatever special forms may belong to its own national style, these f orms must be subject to the proper nature of sacred music, so that it may never produce a bad impression on the mind of any stranger who may hear it. These qualities are found most perfectly in Gregorian Chant, which is, the therefore, the proper chant of Roman Church, the only chant which she has inherited from the ancient Fathers, which she has jealousy kept t or so many centuries in her liturgical books, which she offers to the faitniul as her own music, which she insists on being used exclusively in some parts of her liturgy, and which, lastly, has been so happily restored to its original perfection and purity by recent study. For these reasons plainchant has always been looked upon as the highest model of Church music, and we may with good reason establish as a general rule that the more a musical composition for use in church is like plaint:tiara in its movement, its inpiration, and its feeling, so much the more is it right and Liturgical, and the more it differs from this highest model so much the less is it wortay of tile house of God. Wherefore this ancient Gregorian chant should be largely restored in divine worship, and it should be understood that a service of the Church loses nothing of its solemnity when it is accompanied by no other music than plainchant. Especially should the chant b• restored to the use of the people, so that they may take a more active part in the offices as they did in former times." These* words and commands of Pius X., of happy arid holy memory, gave the first great impetus to the reform in Church music and the restoration of plainchant. Nearly four years ago our present Holy Father, Pius XI., issued his Apostolic Constitution, and gave a further impetus to the movement, especially that of the restoration of olainshant. A few quotations from this latest Papal utterance on the subject will be useful. After reviewing briefly the care with which the Roman Pontiffs have ever safeguarded the liturgy, he refers in particular to the Motu Proprio from which we nave already quoted, and says: " . . . wherever these regulations have been diligently carried, out, there the ancient beauty of an exquisite art has begun to revive, and a religious spirit to flourish and prosper; and there also the faithful, imbued more deeply with liturgical sense, have gained the habit of participating more zealously in the Eucharistic rite, in singing the psalms and in the public prayers. . . . It is greatly to be deplored, however, that in certain places these wisest of laws have not been fully observed, and thus the fruit which they were intended to produce has been We are well aware that some lost. have stated repeatedly that they were not bound by these laws, which were so solemnly promulgated, and that others at first indeed obeyed them, but have gradually come to countenance a form of music which should be entirely excluded from the house of In certain places, indeed, esGod. pecially when secular festivities are being held in honour of the centenaries of illustrious Musicians, a pretext is found for performing certain compositions which, however excellent in themselves, ought never to have been given in a church, since they are not in keeping with the holy places and the sacredness of the liturgy." There follow a number of regulations of which the following are of general interest and utility, the others concerning seminaries, etc." "IX. In order that the faithful may take a more active part in divine worship, let that portion of the chant which pertains to the congregation be restored to popular use. It is very necessary that the faithful, taking part

in sacred ceremonies, should not do so as mere outsiders or mute spectators, but as worshippers thoroughly imbued with the beauty of the liturgy—and this even on occasions when processions and great functions are being held with clergy and sodalities present—so that. they may sing alternately with the priest and the choir, according to the prescribed rule: in this event we stiould not find the people making only a murmur or even no response at all to the public prayers of the liturgy, either in Latin or in the vernacular. X. The efforts of both secular and regular clergy, under the leadership of their Bishops and Ordinaries, either working directly or through others specially trained for the task, should he devoted to the instruction of their people in liturgical music, since this is so closely connected with Christian doctrine. This will be best accomplished by teaching Gregorian chant in the schools, pious sodalities, and other litMoreover, the urgical associations. communities of religious, whether men or women, should be eager to bring about this end in the educational institutions which have been entrusted to them. We are confident that valuable help in this matter will come from the societies which in some places, under ecclesiastical authority, are striving to restore sacred music and bring it into line with the laws of the Church." In conclusion, Our Holy Father adds: "We are well aware of the zeal and labour demanded by all which We have here ordained. Yet who does not know how many works of high artistic achievement have been handed down to posterity by our forefathers, who were undeterred by difficulties because imbued with the zeal of piety, and the Nor is this to spirit of the liturgy? be wondered at; for whatever proceeds from the interior life of the Church transcends even the most perfect works o f this world." These quotations are rather lengthy, hut no apology is needed for them. They form the best possible introducThey give tion to Gregorian chant. excellent reasons and motives for the study of the chant by all Catholics. and especially by those versed in musical Studying those words of the lore. Popes, we find three excellent reasons for taking up thk study. 1. It is the Wish and Command of the Holy Father. Readers, well acquainted with the Papal document above, may be inclinea to accuse me of trying to prove too much. They may say that it is clear from the same documents that the Church allows other styles of music beQuite true. I do sides plainchant. not wish to hide that fact. and hope to do it justice at a later date. But in general, what kind must this other music be, before we can use it in The norm laid down by china. h ? which 'we must judge of its suitabil ity is Gregorian chant. To be suitable, a musical composition must closely resemble plainchant in its movement, inspiration, and feeling. How then can we be judges in the matter unless we are quite familiar with the movement, inspiration, and feeling of plainchant? Hence it is quite clear that for all concerned there is an obligation to study this important subject. Again, it is seen quite clearly that both Pope Pius X. and the present Holy Father, especially the latter, insist that the chant must be restored .a the people. That, instead of coming to a sung Mass and being so many "mere outsiders or mute spectators, the faithful should sing alternately with the priest and choir according to the prescribed rule. Now what are the parts prescribed for the congregation? l'hey- are the Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus, l3enedictus, and Agnue Dei. These then should be sung in Gregorian by all the people. Hence the obligation on all of us, but especially on t hose of us whom God has favoured with a good voice or (and) a musical education, to do our best to learn all we can about this beautiful music. Whenever I listen to a choir singing 11 was nearly being rude and saying inflicting) a Credo or Gloria at a High :\fass,I ask myself what is it all about? The Celebrant is sitting there patiently, wondering when it will be over; the congregation—well that takes up three attitudes; some you will notice reading their prayers devoutly or saying their rosary; others are looking about them, no doubt wondering how much longer they are going to be kept there; the remainder are listening intently to the music, enjoying it, or otherwise, and no doubt thinking what a glorious voice so-and-so has, and

when will somebody else realise at his or her singing days ended years ago. Is that not the truth? ds not one of those attitudes is the the Church requires of us at th.at parone ticular part of the Mass, which, let us remember, is the one sacrifice with that of Calvary. Those of the congregation who ignore the music and say their prayers are certainly the nearest to the right attitude, but even they are astray. The Church expects them to pray with her, and in her words, not then own. The words of the Credo or the Gloria should be on their lips, they should all be praying And who would deny that it would not be a soul-stirring experience to take part with hundreds of our brethren in in singing the beautiful liturgical hymns of the Mass? That is what the Pope wants, that must be the goal of our ambitions. 2. Plain Chant is Holy. The great St. Augustine shed tears from a feeling of tender piety when he heard the sweet hymns of St. Am brose's Church. Many another has been as deeply affected by the beautiful and sweet tones of the Gregorian melodies. They breathe the very spirit of holiness. The exquisite, freedom, flexibility, elasticity of plainchant enables it to take on the exact spirit and form of the words and phrases of the Church's prayers When we sing Gregorian well, we are truly praying and what more fitting word could we use to describe such music than the word "holy?" Moreover, a correct rendering of the chant calls for a certain amount of personal holiness in the singer. "The first requirement itc sing the chant correctly) is a religious temper of mind which approaches the chant as the direct service of God This spirit will induce most valuable ssoirnigthe singing." (A Grammar of Plainsong,) Gregorian chant comes down to us as a great heritage of the early Church, the days when to be a Christian was to be a saint, the days of strong and live ly faith. Much of it was composed composers by saints What the ying andco0niplainsong felt templating the truths of our holy faith, they expressed in their chants Prayer is therefore the key to their comprehension. I invite members of choirs to ask themselves this question: "How often do I pray while I sing at Mass?" CI course, singing in a choir is praying, if we do so with the right intention. But w hat Imean is, how often do the words they sing have any meaning for them? How often has the Credo been a profession of their faith? How often the Agnus Dei a prayer for mercy and for giveness? I have sung our usual Masses in several choirs, and I know what my own answer would be. I have known many members of choirm who always went to two Masses on Sunday, because they said they never said any prayers at the last Mass! Plainchant is essentially prayerful music and musical prayer. is S. The Study of Gregorian Music Necessary for the Completion of Our Musical Education. Gregorian chant, Pope Pius X. tells us, is an art. It is an astonishing confer thing that Colleges of Music know.nts even their highest degrees on stude and never require the slightest ledge of this important branch of the art. "To the musician, plainchant is a revelation; it leads him into a ne‘`_,. sphere where his ideas become enlarge° and enobled by the discovery of melodic riches undreamed of before."

SIMPLE LESSONS IN GREGORIAN CHANT ( Continued from Page 2.)

While many will be surprised to learn that Mozart stated "that he would gladly exchange all his immortal music for the fame of having composed one Gre. garian Preface." How many there are who study, admire and love Mozart's works, and yet know nothing of the art he admired so profoundly! h ere then are excellent reasons why we should all endeavour to learn plainchant. How can we learn without a teacher? How can we learn without a text book? Natural questions to ask. Healthy questions to ask, for they be. tray a desire for further knowledge. To supply these wants a teacher, a text book, further knowledge, is the object of these simple lessons. They will be simple, remember. They will presuppose you know nothing of plainchant, but presume a knowledge, at least elementary, of modern music. II you resolve to study them, do twe things at least, and if possible three. The first is to secure a copy of "The Record" every week from to-day, unti, the lessons end. The second is to pa a visit to Musgrove's and secure, for the modest sum of 8d., a copy of Plainsong for Schools. The third is tg secure the gramophone records of plainsong sung by the Benedictines of Am. pleforth Abbey, His Master's Voice, No. ( 2087 and C2088, 6s. each at Musgrove's. If you cannot afford the two, get C2087 fbr preference. Constant reference wi:: be made to pieces in the Plainsong for Schools, and their demonstration by means of the records will be invaluable.

C ARDINAL CASPARRI'S CATECHISM ( Continued from Page 3. ( 4) His aim is to educate, not merely to instruct. He writes: "Inasmuch as,we do not teach Catechism solely for intellectual instruction, but primarily with a view to stirring up -men's hearts and making them lead moral lives in harmony with that teaching, a teacher will be failing in his duty if he does not explain the doctrine as far as his pupils are capable of appreciating it, or if he does not make use of favourable opportunities for urging on them the necessity of leading a good life." ( Introduction, P. XVII.) The teacher who is a mere annotator of the Gate. chism does not live up to the ideals of the author: he may equip the mind and leave the heart of the pupil unmoved. The examination ideal neglects the heart because that work cannot be measured by the examiner. The distinction between education and instruction is vital in religion, because loving hearts mean much more than crowded heads. Though his primary aim is to move hearts, he does not for a moment neglect to fashion heads. A knowledge of the faith is essential, and he strongly urges all ,to teach students "how to acquire a deeper knowledge of their religion, and also how to defend it." (Introduction, P. XV.) Ignorance of. Christian doctrine is no aid to virtue. . Heart and head must be cultivated if children are to grow up as we wish them. ( Next Article: The First Communion Catechism.

War on the Church in Russia Secret Soviet Decree. According to a statement published in the "Osservatore Romano," on the most reliable authority, the Bolshevists are engaged in a supreme effort to destroy the last vestige of religion within the Soviet Union. It is revealed that in the spring of this year a new decree was issued with a view to the absolute abolition of all religion in Russia. The decree, which was not openly promulgated or mentioned in the Press, was circulated to all the "Ispolkom" or executives in the Soviet Union, to be put into effect instantly. e• The scheme outlined in this decree provides for the total "liquidation" of all churches, chapels, and houses of prayer before December 31, 1933. After this date, measures will 1,e taken to decide what number of places of worship are to be tolerated for another limited period.

THE RECORD.

New Norcia B y J. T. M.

A party that included the Law and the Prophets may not at first blush augur well for a happy outing, yet this• proved to be the exception, for it was from the start a jolly party. In the one crisis that delayed .our balloon-shod going, the Law, and not the Prophets, saved the situation, for the Law went down, and under, and arose triumphant, having tightened the nut that jarred our smooth running for a short span. Turning the curve of wooded road, the New Norcia Mission dotted the hillsides, and bade us welcome. I noticed many new features, the growth of the intervening years. The imposing facade of the new Hostel, which is rich in promise of being an addition of beauty to the Mision village, is now the first building that greets you. The architect, Dom Urban°, 0.S.B., preserves the Benedictine tradition; spaciousness and growth characterise the hostel. It is strange, but true, that tradition fosters vision. With their roots back in the past, the Benedictine monks have learn. ed the difficult lesson of patience, and know that they are but laying founda. tions for others to build upon. Their to-morrows are coming, and they can wait. We moderns are impatient: we want to finish what we begin: we do not trust our to-morrows. We would cut adrift from tradition, and grow more impatient. It is the fault of our philosophy, I believe. We forget that God is patient—to use that fine phrase of St. Augustine, "because He is eternal " Bishop Salvado. Go back to Dom Salvado, 0.5.13., leaving the sheltered sureness of his Subiaco settlement, and trecking off, because Subiaco did not promise any fulfillment for what he had left his beloved Spain, and see in him the pioneer.

And after him comes Bishop Torres. the builder, who created t he New Norcia we know to-day. He now sleeps in the cemetery, where a fine tombstone guards his "bones and ashes." In the choir of the Cathedral a noble sarcophagus .holds the mortal remains of Bishop Salvado. brought from Spain, , so that the bones of these two Bene. dictine monks: whose paths in life had run parallel, may not be separated in death. Here they lie, the most precious possession of New Nord& a long, long way from Spain, even the olive trees do not wave over them: their requiem is chanted by the rustling gum trees, their shroud is a mosaic of wild flowers, and they sleep in the soil they had learned to love. In the same portion of God's Acre lie the remains of rasalas, the wood-carver, the friend of Bishop Torres. New Norcia from with. in is the lasting memorial of Casalas, who has written his name with indelible letters in every chapel of the settlement. Go up to any of his altars and examine the detailed carving and learn what an artist he was, how much he did, and how well, and, yet, he sleeps beside his Bishop patron at the age of 47 years. New Norcia from within is a chapter of old Spain, opening to us_ vistas of culture in mural paintings, in canvasses, in wood-work, in music, and in cherished scholarship. Work and Prat Salvado's ideals are living still. "Work and pray" remain the daily life of the Mission. "Work and pray," spoke the clang of the Monastery bell, whose notes pierced the hours before the dawn and awoke me on my first morning.

WHOLE DAYS oF SUFFERING CAN BE

AVOIDED BY TAKING

Whole days and, in some cases, weeks of suffering and pain can be definitely avoided by the simple action of taking `ASPRO: When people realise what a wonderful medicine tablet `ASPRO' is—how it soothes pain—how it reduces feverishness and how, after ingestion in the system, being a solvent of uric acid—an internal antiseptic—an anti-pyretic or fever reducer—and a powerful germicide, it strikes

at the cause of numerous complaints, then much suffering will be avoided—much illness prevented.

Literary and Debating Society held their initial debate for the present year. The selected subject was "The Advantages and Disadvantages of College Life.Mr. B. Buzzard acted as adjudicator in the absence of Mr. M. Lane. and acquitted himself very cre• ditably. Mr. T. Ahern, the leader of the affirmative side, opened the discussion. His discourse dealt mainly with the great advantages obtainable from the various kinds of sport which are carried on in the present-day colleges, and a series of strong points gave his side a very creditable beginning. : Mr. K. Repacholi, the leader of the opposition, then took up the discussion. He described the insubstantial amount of freedom which the scholar. of present-day colleges are given, and suggested improvements in this direction which could easily be made. and concluded by discussing the poor commodities colleges have for sport. which fast results in a considerable lessening of popularity for sport. Mr. E. Mason, the second speaker oi the affirmative side, criticised very aptly Mr. Repacholi's remarks concerning the poor commodities of sport. He then went on to discuss the great advantages in amusements and education, together with the latitude given to the scholars as regards recreation periods. Mr. D. 0•Driscoll, the final speaker of the negative side, opened his discourse by complaining of the long periods 0; concentration upon work, which the r epils had to endure during both the night and day, and suggested several e fficient remedies for this defect.

FAITH OF OUR FATHERS By E. J.

The Divinity of Christ most convincing and final proof a 1, • t's Divinity is the ResurrecFaced with overwhelming evidence in support of the Resurrection, same critics have gone so far as to deny that Christ really died. According to their theory, lie recovered from the effects of His sufferings after three clays, and acted as if He had returned from the dead. The absurdity of this In the first contention is apparent. plass, we have the testimony of the Gospel: "And Jesus, again crying with a load voice, yielded up the Ghost." In the second t Matt., ch. 27, v. 50.) place, the reality of Christ's death is proved by the actions of the Roman The centurion sent by Pilsoldiers. ate to investigate, satisfied himself of, The solthe fact of Christ's death. diers did not break the legs of Jesus, because He was already dead, and one of them pierced His Side with a lance. Finally, to suppose that Christ did not die, is to admit a number of absurdities. He must have been a base deceiver, and yet have the power to inspire His Apsstles with an intense faith. More‘iver, His physical sufferings during His Passion were very great. Can we believe that a man, in ei least a dying condition, and buried alive for three.- days. would have the physical strength to remove a heavy stone from the mouth of the tomb, to walk to Emmaus, about four miles frcrm Jerusalem, to return to Jerusalem the same day, and during the period of forty days to make frequent journeys between Jerusalem and Galilee. The Tact of the Resurrection. The fact si the Resurrection is established primarily by the testimony of ,et-witnesses, and of those who had their information from eye-witnesses. SS. Matthew and John have left their testimony in writing; St. Peter gave his by word of mouth. St. Luke tells what be had heard from St. Paul and other witnesses of the Resurrection, while St. Mark repeats the narration nf St. Peter. An these witnesses declare without hesitation that Christ. whs was (lea rose again to life. Let us examine the value of their testi. mony. Were they sincere? Did they have the opportunities of investigating the Resurrection? Did they actually investigate it? (11 Obviously these witnesses were sincere. because they had no motive for deceiving. They could e xpect no reward either in time or e ternity for publishing a false story alsatit Christ's Resurrection. On the c ontrary. their mode of acting was to bring on them derision and persecution. Moreover, they themselves, at first, found it difficult to believe that l'hrist was risen. Finally, they could net have deceived, even had they wishcl to. On Pentecost day, only two months afterwards, they publicly affirmed the truth of the Resurrection in f erusalem, and the falsity of their statement could have been proved easily by .he people of that city. who were ene rues of Christ. 21 These witnesses could easily investigate the Resurrection. Christ is ileseribed as appearing not only to a ley people, but also to many, not once :s twice, but frequently during a period of forty days, in different places. and in different circumstances, at Emmaus, ul the Supper Room, on the lake side. Net only did He show Himself, but Pike and ate with His Apostles, and s.11owed Himself to be touched. Either '. st did not die, which has been :reved absurd. or He rose again from the dead. 43) These witnesses did investigate 1)). Resurrection. In the first place, 'hey were all sceptical. Their mental , ttitude inclined them to believe their Master gone for ever: they were griefAriCken and disillusioned, and therefore ?set disposed to easily believe in Christ's Xesurrection, much less to imagine it, iS is evidenced by the fact that the women went to the sepulchre, not to d'eait Christ's Resurrection, but tea s' noint His dead body, and by the fact that Magdaleri was so overwhelmed 'ith grief at the loss of her Master, 1.hat she did not recognise Him. The 1:postles did not believe the testimony fl She women, and went themselves to I_arnine the tomb. Thomas did not htve the word of the other Apostles. 1.114•1 all this, in spite of Christ's predic.1!0.n. that He would rise again on the day! He actually had to prove 1^e truth of the Resurrection to His "1 disciples. From all this it is that some material being did apCa.? to the Apostles and disciples. was this material being. if not „Fist Himself. The Resurrection of erist was a great miracle, hut any 'APT' interpretation of the facts presupI"eS things much more difficult still w' believe. To conclude, there can be

no reasonable doubt about the truth of t he Resurrection. Christ rose from the dead as He had foretold. Add this miracle to His other miracles, to His prophecies, to His whole life on earth, and His figure appears as something more than human, as the promised Messias and as she Son of God, Whom He claimed to be.

The Question Box The Eucharist. Did Christ leave a precept in regard to Communion? Yes. This is clear from His words: "Except ye eat of the Flesh of the Son of Man, and drink His Blood, ye shall not have life in you." These words contain a command. They warn that to secure eternal life we must receive holy CosLununion; and since we are bound to seek after eternal life, we are thereby bound also to eat of Christ's Flesh and drink of His Blood. How frequently are we bound to Communicate? The words of Christ in themselves de not tell us. The Church, speaking with the authority of Christ, has made it a matter of strict obligation to receive HOly Communion once in the year. during Easter time. It must be received also, if possible, as Viaticum, when there is danger of death by sickness. What preparation is necessary for Holy Communion? It is well to distinguish between those things that are essential as a preparation and those which are desirable... In the matter of essential preparation, two things are to be noted. The Communicant must be in a state of grace. and must be fasting from the previous midnight. What is meant by a state of grace? The Communicant must be free from conscious mortal sin. Therefore an intending Communicant, if he be conscious of mortal sin, must go to confession. This is necessary, because the Blessed Eucharist is one of the Sacraments "of the living," intended not to reconcile the sinner with God_ but to increase the life of grace, which already exists in the soul. If a penitent accidentally omits a mortal sin in confession, he may nevertheless receive Holy Communion, although then remains, of course, the obligation of confessing the forgotten sin in his next confession.

Lectures on the Mass A course of lectures on the Mass, illustrated by lantern slides, will begin to-morrow evening, at St. Columba's Church, South Perth, by the Rev. Dr. McMahon, M.A. The lectures are open to all. St. Columba's Church-Hall is situated in York-street, adjacent to the tram line, and convenient to the Mends stret Jetty, of the ferries. The opening lecture will be: What is Sacrifice? The Story of Sacrifice: (1) The Law of Nature (2r The Law of Moses. To help all who intend coming. it is advisable that all should follow the lectures with the diocesan text-book, "The Sacrifice of the Mau," which may be had at Car roll's Ltd., Hay-stret. r Read pp. 43-54 for the opening lecture.)

Green. 2, A cunctis. 3. For the Propagation of the Faith. The two miracles recorded in to-day's Gospel, the cure of the woman who had been a sufferer for many years, and the restoration to life of the daughter of Jairus, prove the power of Faith. The faith of the stricken wimnan was deep and strong, but humble. She did not dare to speak to Christ, but contented herself with touching the hem of His garment. "But Jesus, turning and seeing her. said, Be of good heart, daughter, thy faith hath The faith of the made thee whole." Jewish ruler won back for him the life of his daughter, and the reward of faith in this case is made more striking by contrast with the incredulity of the crowd, who laughed Our Lord to scorn. The condition of the dead girl symbolises the state of the soul in sin. spiritually dead. Thus it is that in the Maas Prayer, the Church takes the place of .Tairus and asks God to restore Her children to life: "Remit, we beseech Thee, 0 Lord, the sins of T1 people. that by Thy mercy, we may be freed from bonds of our sins with which through frailty we have become shackled."

SEVEN synchronised. A remarkable effective use is made of musical rhythm and .the typewriter ballet is an excellent piece of work. The photography, too, is ot a uniformly high standard. But first praise must go to Renate Muller, an actress of rare charm and ability. .1t is perhaps her freshness and simplicity which are so appealing after a long succession of 'discoveries' in the Garbo tradition. Renate Muller has a springtime freshness which is a very welcome change from the exotic and erotic. She is cast as a young German girl who comes to Vienna to make her fortune, and obtaining a position in a bank, she falls in love with the 'Herr Direktor,' and lives happily ever after. The story is of the usual musical comedy type, but it is embellished with music which is of more than usual charm, and with comedy. spontaneous delightfully Jack Hulbert. the comedian, who is cast as Herr Hasel, is excellent. He, too, is not in the 'talkie' tradition, and it is this novelty which enhances the entertainment value of his work. Owen Nares, as the 'Herr Direktor,' and Morris Harvey, in a first-rate study of Klapper, complete the principals. 'Sunshine Susie' may he recommended as a delightful musical comedy, admirably produced, and splendidly acted. It is certain that picture-goers will wish to see more of Renate Muller." Box plans for "Susie" are at the Theatre (Phone B2222). Sessions commence at 11 a.m. daily (continuous to 5.15s w ith the big night show at 8. TENNIS EXHIBITION AT SOUTH PERTH.

There was a large attendance at the Cathedral—representatives of all the Religious Orders in Perth, and Sisters from his own district of Toodyav, while all sections of the business community were represented.

They reached Fremantle on Tuesday. A fter the final absolution was pronounced, the Right Rev. Monsignor Verling preached the panegyric.

Monsignor Verling's Panegyric. My dear Fathers and Brethren,— We have assembled this morning to offer up the Holy Sacrifice df the Mass and the prayers of the Church for the repose of the soul of the late Mr. Her rand Connor. He was very seriously for a considerable period. •Naturallv every kind attention was bestowed upon him. Everything that medical science and devoted nursing could do for him was done, and all proved unavailing. And though his death was not unexpected, yet when death came, it meant a very severe loss and a very severe wrench to his devoted wife and children, relations, and friends. Naturally nature must speak, and hie near and dear ones must feel the blow very much, and therefore we tender to them our most sincere sympathy in their great loss. He was, as you know, brethren, a member of one of the olrlerf -mri most respected families in this State—a fam-

ily who have been noted for their steadfastness and loyalty to their faith and Church. His faith and Church he loved. His faith was for him during his life a never-failing light to guide him on his way, despite the trials and difficulties incidental to life here below. The teaching of his faith he always accepted with childlike docility, and by the principles of moral conduct inculcated by the Church, he stood calm, firm, resolute and uncomplaining. My memory often goes back very many years. - Toodyay was my first I was then a very young parish. priest, and only six weeks landed in When appointed to \Vest Australia. Toodyay, I was wondering how I was going to get O . I knew not a single soul there. Mv fears and misgivings very soon vanished, for from the day I arrived in Toodyay till I left it,I had in Mr. Bernard Connor one upon whose sound advice I could always rely—a generous benefactor, and a loyal and faithful friend. In those days he was a, tine a specimen of Australian manhood as one could desire to see. He was tall, athletic, of giant frame, and possessed of great ph -sical strength— yet always humble and genial, and diffident of his own great powers. He had a fine knowledge of. Australia, and particularly of West Australia. From him I learned much about Australian conditions. Among the residents of Toodyay, of all denominations, he was s trikingly Popular, and was always regarded as one of the leading men of t he place. He was head of our little congregation there. Faithful to his duties as a Catholic, faithful to Holy Mass and frequent in his reception of the Sacraments, his was a noble, inspiring example of practical Catholicity to his fellow Catholics. Devoted to his faith, he was ever noted for his generous charity, but his c harity was of the silent and secret kind. His charitable disposition was. however, well known in the Toodyay district, and many of the old residents who hear of his deafh to-day, will. I feel sure, offer up a fervent prayer for the repose of the soul of the charitable friend who lent them a helping hand w hen help was sorely needed. Since those distant days, I had not seen him very often because, you know, brethren, he travelled much, and was for many years absent in England and Ireland. and only periodically came to Australia. Hence it was for me a very great privilege, as well as a source of great edification, to attend him in his last illness. His illness was very trying, exhausting and wearying. Yet I never heard him complain, nor did the devoted Sisters of St. John who nursed him, or the members of his family, who attended at his bedside, and their attendance cheered him in his last trying days. But his hour had come. The good God he loved so faithfully and so well, knocked at the door and called him to Himself. He knew he was soon to die and he duly prepared to meet his God. When I told him that I thought it time to anoint him, like a true child of the Church, he said he wished to be anointed and to receive the last Sacraments, and he received them all with genuine faith and feryour. During the recitation of the Litany of the Saints, he was quite conscious, and he asked that the great Saint whose name he so worthily bore. should be repeatedly invoked also—the great St. Bernard.

PERTH, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1932.

A Central Catholic Library No one who realises the influence of the written word upon the hearts and thoughts of men will question the good work that a Central Catholic Library will accomplish. The very fact that the Chur.:!.1 has an index of prohibited books shows that she regards And the irfluence of the written word as extremely important. be should literature that good Church, the frequent desire of the circulated, is evidence that no Catholic ought to be indifferent to We have what he reads himself, or allows his children to read. breath evil keep the sacrifices to enormous making, and are ade, m of secularism from our schools. We strain every nerve to secure for our children an education grounded on religion, but we often seem to forget that when children leave school their further education is dependent chiefly upon what we read. In this age of mental activity and intellectual curiosity, it is essential that wholesome reading matter should be available, otherwise people will read books whose tendency and purpose is not infrequently evil. •

There is, unfortunately. too much reason for thinking that many of our people read what is ethically false—the output of writers who do not accept the very fundamentals of Catholic Faith, or of Catholic Philosophy. If reading is an index to character, what conclusion must we reach regarding the mental outThere is no look of those whose Bible is the daily newspaper? hesitation in denying the sancity of the marriage bond, or the sacred character of human life. There is less.hesitation in pandering to the popular tastes, in sketches and articles of a decidedly indecent standard. and Catholic principles and Catholic purity are . Worse still, whether consciously conspicuous by their absence. or unconsciously. Catholic doctrine is often misunderstood and misinterpreted. and sometimes even calumnies against God's Church And the popular novel which panders are recklessly broadcast. to morbid public taste. must very often be placed in the same category. One cannot fail to see how near the danger i for the indiscriminate reader. •

Now this is the precise danger which a Catholic Library counteracts. No missionary propaganda is in our day so effective. The printed word penetrates where the spoken word cannot enter, and addresses thousands who may not be reached in any other way. Amongst the decrees of one of the Councils of Sydney. we find the Bishops enjoining upon all pastors the necessity of guarding their flocks against the baneful influence of bad reading, and they earnestly recommend the good work of Catholic Truth Societies and Catholic Libraries. The present Holy Father is so convinced of the good influence of Catholic books and papers, that he considers as done for himself personally whatever is done for the circulation of a Catholic puplication. Now, of all methods of circulation, a Catholic Library is one of the most effective. The great Bishop K ettler was accustomed to say that the two greatest earthly powers were the School and the Press. • • On another page will be found particulars of this worthy project. A committee has been formed, with the sanction, and under the patronage, of His Grace the Archbishop, and it only remains for the Catholic reading public to take a practical interest. This may be done principally by becoming a member, or an annual subscriber. This will ensure a permanent income, and an opportunity of enlarging the catalogue of hook. All tastes will be catered for. The founders hope that not only will the ordinary Catholic find it helpful in bringing him into closer touch with his religion on its intellectual side. but also that its shelves will be an ever-failing source of interest in leisure hours. The Catholic Library hopes to be a permanent exhibition of all that is sound in literature, history, biography and fiction, besides being a treasury of Catholic thought and a power -house of Catholic Action.

THE ARCHDIOCESE His Grace the Archbishop requests that a collection be taken up in every parish for the needs of the Association of the Propagation of the Faith on Mission Sunday, October 23rd.. or on The the nearest available Sunday. collections are to be forwarded as soon as possible to the Administrator at Victoria Square. His Grace the Archbishop will administer the Sacrament of Confirmation at Guildford on Sunday, the 30th inst., at 7.30 p.m. The Memorial Window, erected by the Hibernian Society to the memory of the late Father P. Lynch, in the Queen of Martrys' Church, Maylands, will be unveiled by His Grace the Archbishop on Sun y, the 23rd. inst., at 4 p.m.

The Very Rev. Dean Irwin and Father M. Lynch left by car on Thursday for Geraldton. • The annual Conference of the Teachers in 4he diocesan schools will begin on the Tuesday previous to the opening of the State schools, and conclude on Friday. This year some of the in of the State schools will assist as lecturers. HOLY FAMILY RETREAT. The first Annual Retreat for the Holy Family Confraternity will be held in the Monastery Church, commencing on Monday night, October 24, and closing on the following Sunday night. It will he conducted by Father Gorey, C.SS.R. All men are invited to attend, those who wish to join the Confraternity, as well as those who are already members.

The well-known Rome correspondent, Msgr. Enrico Pucci, is writing the text for a magnificent "Vatican Memorial Series," for the publication of which a corporation has been formed with Benjamin A. Howe, of New York. City, as president. The series will be illustrated with drawings and water colours by Vernon Howe Bailey, who is at present at work on this project at the Vatican, and Commendatore Nagura, threetor of the Pontifical Galleries and MuThe seums, will write the preface. first publication of the series will be two volumes, on the Papal palaces and buildings, to be followed by another publica.tion dealing with the new part of the Vatican built since the Lateran Treaty of 1929. Lastly there will be two volumes on the Vatican Basilica. The work is being issued with the con. senc and co-operation of the Vatican authorities, but the date of publication is at present necessarily uncertain. • The mixed commission appointed some dine ago by the Italian and Vatican anthorities to draw up the list ot persons with Italian nationality wins in accordance with the terms of the conci rdat between the Vatican and Italy, should be exempt from the ot. ligation of military service, has now concluded 'its work. Altogether 1,900 persons who still retain Italian citizenship will be exempt from military service. They include, besides 75 Noble Guards and 175 Palatine Guards, all those who are domiciled in the Vatican city or in buildings, which are under the sovereignty of the Vatican, as well as the employees of the Pontifical Court: of the Sacred Congregations, and of the Civil Administration of the Vatican City . • The third centenary of the birth of the famous French orator, Pere Hourdoloue, S.J., was observed on the 20th. of August last. He has been described as the "King of preachers and the preacher of Kings." He was the contemporary and friend of Bossuet, and their eloquence gave great glory to the French pulpit. Lord Brougham. himself an orator, said of Bourdaloue that "he has never been excelled by any orator, sacred or profane.' The apostolic motive never failed to show itself in the utterances of this distinguished writer, as his object was exclusively the salvation of souls. He was the devoted friend of the poor and assiduous in the confessional. He exercised a great influence over hardened sinners. Professor Bernard Heinze and Mr, Roy Shepherd, of Melbourne. who have come to this State to conduct musical examinations, were the guests recently of the University Music Society, at a reception. The function took place at the refectory of the University where a large number of local musicians and others met the visitors and were entertained by a miscellaneous programme. This Imparted very agrels ably from conventional schemes of the sort by including several ballets, danced by pupils of Miss Linley Wilson, to music by Beethoven, Ralf, Leoncavallo and Johann Strauss. Expressing his particular appreciation of these, Professor Heinze, in subsequently moving a vote of thanks, had something to say concerning the dancing art, and suggested that the Perth Symphony Orchestra might prepare one or two ballet scores, to be danced at a public performance under his baton on the occasion of his next visit to the State. In her welcome to the visitors, the society's president (Miss Zipah Feldman) made humorously pointed allusion to the presence of Mrs. Heinze with her husband on this trip, suggesting that as a result far-reaching consequences in the examination results, with a record honours list, might be antieipated. In his reply, Professor Heinze emphasised the value of the opportunities for public performance which the society gave young musicians. "We are all nervous—if we have anything to say in our art," he remarked. "But don't be afraid of nervousness. Regard it as an extra stimulus to say what You have to say." The musical side , of the programme included instrumental trios by Beethoven and Ireland, played by Miss M. Sharp and Messrs. M. Dick and V. Rayner: piano solos by Mr. Edward Black, and vocal numbers by Misses Lulu Potter and Eileen Hatt. Professor and Mrs. Heinzs belong to distinguished Catholic families in Melbourne. The Professor will conduct the Perth Symphony Orchestra to-morrow night. Dr. John Flynn, who returned from Newman College during the week, after completing his medical course there. is a son of Dr. Flynn, of Bunburv, and belongs to a well-known Catholic family. He is a brother of Mother M. de Lourdes, I.R.V.M.. who is at present a patient at St. John of God Hospital.

The ,i- oung. er members enjoyed the day hikin, along the river banks, or through t4 bush, while their parents contented themselves with inspecting the spacious buildings, or rambling through the gardens.

To the industry and kindly care of the Brothers is due the healthy, happy appearance of the boys, and the visitors were impressed by their in. spection. As Castledare is only a short distance from Clontarl, some of the visitors availed of the opportunity Of visiting this most worthy work - of charity, and they were given a hearty welcome by Brother Hyland, who conducted them through the buildings and spacious grounds, an explained the system and method el. training the boys. As it was a full day's outing, lunch baskets were unpacked. and they enjoyed an al fresco lunch on the grounds. The evening was passed in game,: and music, and creature comforts were distributed amongst the boys, who enjoyed the day equally as much as the visitors. Before the departure of the visitors, Rev.

B edwell's appearance was greeted with delight, and she had to answer quite a number of recalls. Her "Songs of the Suburbs" was charmingly humorous, and the humour was not lost on the audience, while her "Soliquy of the Fire," though in a more serious mood. was equally appreciated. Mrs. Bridgewood rendered two old favourites— "My Prayer" and "The Rosary"—the latter in response to an encore that was richly merited, and Mrs. Lewis brought an excellent programme to a close by an equally excellent rendering s: "Farewell Thou Outbound Ship." At the fall of the curtain, Father Winston took the opportunity of complimenting the organiser, Mrs. Bridgewood, on the very pleasing entertainment she had sponsored. On behalf of the Sisters he expressed his sincere gratitude, and extended it to the artists and friends, who went to considerable inconvenience to make the night such a decided success.

opEOPLE and l T LACES I The Cistercian monks in Hungary have just celebrated the seven hundredth and fiftieth anniversary of the A triduum, which Abbey at Zire. of St. Bernard, Feast the on oncluded c attracted a large number of pilgrims. The Cistercians are much appreciated in Hungary, where they devote themselves to secondary education and intellectual work. For many years one of the monks, Dom Mihalyfi, has edited the great Catholic review of Hungary, the "Katholikus Pye.mte"; he has also published religious works and written important books on agriculture, which have been translated into other languages. A writer in "La Croix" says that the Cistercians in Hungary have, in consequence of the Treaty of Trianon, lost many of their ancient abbeys, which are now under the domination of foreign and schismatic countries. What so many centuries had respected, a stroke of the pen of a few plenipotentiaries has destroyed. The Cistercians went from France to Hungary in the distant ages. and founded many monasteries.

Aceording to my opinion. we should °be always able to recognise the perfect Catholic by his hunger and thirst after justice and his love of charity." The romantic town of Winkel-on-theRhine, near Duedesheirn, has long been famous for the number of its ancient houses. One of the best known of these was the home of the Barons of Brentano, where Goethe and other famous men and women have visited. But now the house of Blessed Rabanus Maurus, Abbot of Fulda, and Archbishop of Mainz, is said to be the oldest of the lot, and has become the centre ot attention. The house, built in 847, not long after the death of Charlemagne, is a labourer's dwelling to-day. Blessed Rabanus died at Winkel in He was noted for his charity. 806and was one of the most learned men of his age. Those who visit his old home will like to think of him as pictured in the "Annales Fuldeses," feeding 300 people a day during the famine of 850. T win brothers who entered the Priesthood together, recently celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of their ordination. They are Father Arthur Gouin and Father Charles Gouin, brothers of the late Sir Lorrner Gouin, former Premier of the Province of Quebec and Dominion Minister or Justice. The ahnryersary was celebrated at Grondines, Quebec, where the two priests have been living in retirement for some Years. They are 77 years of age. Nearly 250,000 people attended the High Mass, with which the 71st. Ca. tholic , Congress concluded at Essen. The Mass was celebrated on the Balde.neyer Hill, which commands a magnificent view of the Ruhr Valley. Prominent in the vast congregation were miners, metal workers, factory hands, and labourers from the Rhineland and estphalian industrial districts, many Of whom had travelled through the night on bicycles and improvised methn.d.s of transport in order to attend Vi.sible to every worshipper was the High Altar. which had been erected on lhe highest point of the hill.

The music-loving people of Perth realise what a clever musician and pian. iste we have in our midst in Madame Rosenthal. For many years we have heard her as a concert pianiste, and from 6WF.

Then as an orchestral pianiste we applauded her in one of Perth's best corn. binations of orchestras at Hoyts Regent Theatre for as long as the Regent had its orchestra—three years. For three years Madame'was pianiste for the Fillpini Grand Opera Company. Besides being a successful teacher of pianoforte and singing. Madame has conducted the St. Patrick's Boys' Championship Choirs, who have held this title for five years. Now we hear her as head of her own string orchestra of ten lady players every night at the Ambassadors Theatre, starting on Friday night.

when you are responding so generously to my appeal for more than "liquid" notes. The more substantial ones are coming along, thank God, so I do not think I will search out the shades of those you mention—I might be obliged to ask old Charon to row me across the river Acheron—and even Dante found that experience a wee bit spooky.
