We rather learn the names of the lines and spaces, when the treble clef is being used, and when the bass clef is being used, but it is based on the other fact. G clef is always written on the secono line. F clef Is always written on the fourth line. The C clef is, however, movable. It may be written on any of the lines; it is used for writing certain vocal and instrumental passages to avoid the use of many ledger lines. This is the type of clef used in plainchant.

WALTER DE LA MARE (By S.R.H.S.)
There is one sense in which this poet has never grown up, and we may, if we please, recapture our own childhood as we wander with him through And if it be his enchan4c1 garden. true, as John Maseheld says, that "the days that make us wise," it is blessed wisdom that should be ours at the .end For see what a deoi our ramble.

The air is soft, the light is as mellow as a hat-vest moon, and the sounds of the outer world are subdued almost to silence Nothing loud or , , trenuous disturbs the tranquillity: only the remote voices of happy children eiel friendly beasts and kind old people. Wonder lives here, but not fear; smiles but not laughter; tenderness but not passion. And the presiding genius of the spot is the Poet's "Sleeping Gupid," sitting in the shade with his bare feet deep in the grass and the dew slowly gathering uPen his curls: a cool and lovesome elf, softly daaining of beauty in a quiet place. So one might try to catch into tangible shape the spirit of this poetry, only to realise the impossibility of doing anything ef the kind.

That hush, invoking a sense of re. moteness in space and time, lies over all his work. It is as though, walking in the garden of this verse, a child flitted lightly before us with a finger raised in a gesture of silence. And it is not for nothing that his principal book is called "The Listeners." Footfalls are light, and voice soft, and the wind is gentle: the noise of life is filtered to a whisper or a rustle or a sleepy murmur. It is a device, of course, as we quickly see, if we peer too curiously at it; just a contrivance of the romantic artist to create "atmosphere." But it is so cunningly done, that you never suspect the contriving; and if you would guave the skill of the poet in this direction, you should note that he is able to produce the desired effect in the broad light of day, as well as in shadow and twilight It is a more difficult achievement, and much rarer. Evening is the time that the poets generally choose to work this particular spell: though moonlight or starlight, dawn, sunset, and almost any degree of darkness will serve them. Sunlight alone, wide-eyed, penetrating and inquisitive, is inimical to their Yet Mr. de la Mare, in a purpose. poem called "The Sleeper," succeeds in spinning this hush of wondering awe Out of the full light of a summer day. A little girl (Ann. a charming and familiar figure in this poetry: at once a symbol of childhood and a very 1w' man child) runs into the house Cr, her mother. and finds her asleep in her That is all the "plot"; and it chair. would be hard to find an incident slighter, simpler and more commonplace. But out of this homespun material the poet has somehow conjured an eerie, brooding, impalpable presence which steals upon us as it does upon the child in the quiet h use until. her, we want to creep quickly out again. A sense of the supernatural, t. t ^onstant component of the romantic temperament, is of the essence of this peetry.

Not that it is possible to trace an outline of systematic thought in work like this. where every constituent is milled and sifted to delicate fineness and fused to perfect unity. But if we follow up a hint here and there, and correlate them with the author's prose fiction, we shall not be able to escape the suggestion of a mystical basis to the elusive witchery of so many of his poems We shall see that it is apparently root ea in an extreme sensitiveness to psychic influences; a sensitiveness through which he becomes. at one end of the scale, acutely aware of the presence ef a surrounding spirit world; and at the other, deeply sympathetic and tender to subhuman creatures. No crude claim is made on behalf of any mystical creed: and still less would one violate the fragile and mys
terious charm of a poem like "The Listeners" by so-called interpretation. But placed beside "The Witch," it is clearly seen to treat the supernatural on a higher plane; it is, indeed, a piece of rare and delicate symbolism. There is no recourse to the ready appeal of the grotesque and the marvellous; and although we find here all the "machinery" of a supernatural poem in the older romantic manner—the great empty house standing lonely in the forest, moonlight and silence, and a traveller knocking unheeded at the door—it is a very subtle blending of those elements which has gone to produce the peculiar effect of this piece. Twice the traveller knocks, crying: "Is there anybody there? - but no answer COMee:
. . . only a host of phantom listeners That dwelt in the lone house then Stood listening in the quiet of the moonlight, To that voice from the world of men; Stood thronging the faint moonbeams on the dark stair, That goes down to the empty hall, Hearkening in an air stirred and shaken By the lonely Traveller's call. And he felt in his heart their strangeness, Their stillness answering his cry, While his horse moved, cropping the dark turf, Neath the starred and leafy sky; For he suddenly smote on the door, even Louder, and lifted his -head:— ''Tell them I came, and no one answer• ed, That I kept my word," he said. piece—and Running through the more clearly perceived when the whole poem is read—is the thread of melancholy which is inseparably woven into all parts of the poet's work of this And it, too, was a gift of his kind. fairy-godmother when he was born, light in texture as a gossamer and spun Melancholy out of the softest silk. is almost too big a word to fit the thing it is, for there is no gloom in it. It is like the silvery, transparent cloud of thoughtfulness, which passes for a moment over a happy face; and it has .rpmething of the youthful trick of playHence ing with the idea of sadness. come the early studies of "Imogen" and "Ophelia," where the poet is so much in love with mournfulness that he revels in making perfect phrases about it. Can death haunt silence with a silver sound? Can death, that hushes all music to a close, Pluck one sweet wire scarce-audible that trembles, As if a little child, called Purity, Sang heedlessly on of his dear Imogen? But even this verse approaches a degree nearer to the reality of pain it is still, as it were, a reflected emotion: and there is no poignance in it. It is winning echo of sorrowfulness, caught by one who has the habit of turning Thus the hack to listen and look. studies of old age which we sometimes find here are drawn in the true romantic manner, with a sunset halo about them, and lightly shadowed by wistAnd the fulness and faint regret. thought of death, when it is allowed to enter, comes as caressingly as sleep. The little poem called "All That's Past," where the poet is thinking of how far down the roots of all things go, is only one example of many where melancholy is toned to the faintest strain of pensive sweetness: Very old are the woods: And the buds that break Out of the briar's boughs, When March winds wake. So old with their beauty are— Oh, no man knows Through what wild centuries Roves hank the rose.
level of inspiration and workmanship here. But there is a danger in the process, especially with work of so fine a grain; and one feels bound to repeat the warning that it is impossible to dissect its ultimate essence in this way. We can only come back to our comparison, and recalling the magical music of poems like "Arabia," "Queen Djenira,' 'or "Voices"—in which all the characteristics noted are so intimately blended that it is impossible to disen gage them—reiterate the fact that they possess the same inexplicable charm as the romantic work of Coleridge. But that'reminds us of the difference, and all that it implies. For, after all, this poet is a romanticist of the twentieth century, and not of the late eighteenth. It is true that his genuis has surprisingly kept its youth ( even more, that is to say, than the poet usually does) ; but it is a nonage which is clearly of this time and no other. The signs of this are clear enough. First and foremost. there is his humanity—in which perhaps all the others are included, and with which are certainly associated the simplicity and It is as sincereity of his diction. though the two famous principles on which the 'Lyrical Ballads" were planned had in the fulness of time become united in the creative impulse of a That is not to charge single mind. Mr. de la Mare with the combined weight of those two earlier giants, of course, but simply to observe the truth which Rupert Brooke expressed so finely when he said that the poetic spirit was coming back "to its wider home So that even a the human heart." born romanticist like this cannot escape; and into the chilly enchantment of an older manner warm sunlight streams and fresh air blow. Obvious links with the life-movement of his time are not lacking, though as mere external evidence they are relatively unimportant. Of such are the synthesis of poetry and science in "The Happy Encounter," where the poet reveals a full consciousness of the gulf beBut the tween romance and reality. influence goes deeper than that. It is because he is a child of his age that he has observed children so lovingly, and has wrought child-psychology into his verse with such wonderful accuracy. That also is why he calls so gently out of "thin-strewn inemoryssuch a homely figure as the shy old maid in her oldfashioned parlour: and thence, too, comes the sympathy with toiling folk-considering them characteristically in the serene mood when their work is done—which underlies such pieces as "Old Susan" and "Old Ben": Sad is old Ben Thistlewaite, Now his day is done, And all his chihihen Far away are gone. He sits beneath his jasmine.d porch. His stick between his knees, His eves fixed vacant On his moss-grown trees.

About the same time, the first resident priests were introduced to the mainland, and the first temporary church was built in 1843, when there were only 800 Catholics in the district. In 1859 the district was created an independent colony, and it was formed into a separate Diocese in the same At that time there were about year. 7.000 Catholics, and the first Bishop appointed.

Realising the wonderful opportunities for settlers, he persuaded the Government to form the "Queensland Immigration Society," by which worthy immigrants were introduced to the country. The Bishop was the sot of the movement, and under his guidance nearly six thousand suitable col onists were settled on the vacant rich lands of the Darling.

The first round of cricket matches was commenced last week ,and although there were no high scores registered, some of the players showed early f orm with the ball. A number of the local players have gone to Perth to see the English XI. in action, but probably the main draw card is Bradman.

for Little Cardinal Gasparri's Catechism II. Catechism Children 0 (By Rev J. T. McMahon, MA Ph.D.) . Li the First Book of Cardinal Gasparri's Catechism, there are 26 questions and answers, dealing with Creation, the principal Mysteries, Baptism, Confu-mation, Penance, and Holy Communion. There is no direct question on sin. - Our Approved Catechism opens with: "Who made the world?" This Catechism is more direct—"Who made you?"—and continues: "What do you mean by the word God?" to which is added a valuable foot-note. The aptness and usefulness of these footnotes suggesting to the teacher how to explain the answers to the child make it apparent that the author demands a teacher for his Catechisms. The questions and answers are pegs to hang further and fuller instructions on. Questions 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13 introduce the principal mysteries. The foot-notes request the teacher to tell the child the story of His life from the Annunciation to the Resurrection. "These things,- adds the author, "an serve to show His love for us men, a love that He has never ceased to show, and that kalls for a return of love on our part." Q. 19 is well set out, one idea at a time. The Approved Catechism fails on this point; many ideas are bunched together in the same answer. Q.: "What is needed if we are to receive the Sacrament of Penance rightly?" A . : "To receive the Sacrament of Penance rightly, we need: I. To examine our conscience. 2. To he sorry for our sins. 3. To have a firm purpose not to sin again. 4. To confess our sins. 5. To do penance given us by our confessor. The foot-note adds: "The teacher should be careful to show children how to examine their conscience, how to make their confessions, to say the penance given them, and to be careful to make a resolution not to sin again Q. 25 also appeals to the child by its set-up - "What do we need if' we are to receive the Sacrament of the Eucharist rightly? Pot us to receive the Sacrament of the Eucharist rightly we need: I. To he in a state of grace, that is of friendship with God. 2 To be fasting from midnight until the moment of Communion. 3. To make a careful preparation before Holy Communion and a good thanksgiving after it." A foot-note adds a practical hint that is frequently needed: "After he has expained the first and second condition, the teacher should show the children how to make acts of preparation for, and thanksgiving after, Holy Communion; he should read the acts to them slowly, and get them to repeat them after him." Lesson 23 (pp. 49-51) in our Approved Catechism, devotes eight questions and answers to convey the same information to the child as is contained in Q. 25. Take the 3rd., 4th., and 5th. questions in Lessons 23: "Q. How must we be prepared for Communion? A . To be prepared for Communion we must be in the state of grace, and we must have a lively faith, a firm hope, and an ardent charity. Q. What does it mean to be in the s tate of grace? A. To be in the state of grace means to be free, at least, from the guilt of mortal sin. Q. What other conditions are required before Communion? A. It is also required before Communion that we be fasting from mid night, that we appear very modest and humble, and clean in dress, and that we show in our whole exterior the greatest devotion and reverence to so holy a Sacrament." I prefer Cardinal Gasparri's word, "rightly," to "worthily." The child hears "right" and "wrong" frequently. whereas a "worthy" thing is new to him. The complicated and difficult wording of the answers quoted from the Approved Catechism contrast unfavourably with the preciseness of Q. 25. Take, for example, the phrases: "A lively faith, a firm hope, and an ardent charity," and "that we show in our whole exterior the greatest devotion and reverence to so holy a Sacrament" --what can they mean to a child? Yet it is not uncommon for pastors to deMand a by-heart .recital of Lesson 23 from all children about to make their First Communion. Directness and Concreteness. Cardinal Gasparri ccores decisively over the Approved Catechism in the note of directness that he introduces. He gets nearer to the child in his presentation of doctrine than Dr. Butler does in the Maynooth Catechism, the parent of our Australian one. Some examples will illustrate this character.
istic better than any comment of mine: Lesson 2, question 5, in the Approved Catechism— Q. -For what purposes did God make us?" A. "God made us to know, love, and serve Him here on earth, and to see and enjoy Him for ever in Heaven." Cardinal Gasparri asks: Q. (3) : "Why did God create you?" A. "God created me to know Him, love Him, and keep His Commandments in this world, that so I may be happy with Him in Paradise after I die." Lesson 23, question 2, in the Approved Catechism, asks: Q. "Is it advisable to go often to Communion?" A. "It is advisable to go often to Communion, as nothing can conduce more to a holy life. He that eateth of this bread, says Christ, shall live for ever." Cardinal Gasparri asks: Question 24. ''Why do you wish to go to Holy Communion?" "I wish to go to Holy Communion because Jesus Christ loves me, and therefore desires to come to me; and I love Jesus Christ, and so I earnestly desire to receive Him." That is a good question and an excellent answer. The question hits the child, makes him sit up and think. In our teaching of religion, especially in building character, there are too many Had Our Blessed Lord generalities. spoke in generalties most of what He said would by now be forgotten. He enshrined His teaching in parables that will never die. When we want to think of charity towards our neighbour, we do not worry about its definition or divisions, but we recall that: "A certain man went down from Jericho to Jerusalem, and that on the way he fell among robbers." Everyone today knows Our Lord's teaching on the mercy of God, because everyone remembers the parable of the Prodigal Son. There is too much of the third person in Dr. Butler's Catechism; too many general statements that float in and out of the child's head, leaving him unmoved. Living More Than Learning. Cardinal Gasparri is not primarily concerned with exercising the child's intelligence: he wants especially, to bear down on conduct For example: Question 20. "What sins must we confess in the Sacrament of Penance?" "In the Sacrament of Penance we must confess all mortal sins committd after Baptism, and it is useful also to confess venial sins, also mortal sins which have been already directly remited." Every confessor will gladly welcome that direction, and will be grateful to the teachers if they can bring that splendid counsel, and the reasons why, to function in the inner life of the child. We know too well the time it takes ,and the irritation it causes, when the request of telling a sin in your past life is made to an ill-instructed Caedinal Gasparri brings penitent. this practical matter before children who cannot have a past to confess, with the idea of catching them young, and so training them from infancy in an important action that will accompany them to the end of their days. In question 26, we see the characterbuilder behind the theologian: "What will you promise in the presence of Jesus Christ on the day ot Your first Holy Communion?" "On the day of my first Holy Communion I will promise, in the presence of Jesus Christ, to hear Mass every feast-day, often to receive the Sacraments of Penance and Holy Communion, to go to the Catechism class, to be obedient to my parents, and carefully to avoid bad companions." That question and answer has no par allel in our Approved Catechism. Concreteness is the thing wanted in the formation of character. Generalities leave children cold, but a definite code of conduct, such as the Scout law. appeals to them, because it is precise and detailed. In the greatest school c f character, the religious novitiate, the novice receives very definite instruction, and through the "particu• lar examen" he strives, not for virtue in general, but for this distinct concrete virtue, which is put before him as a conduct-goal worth achieving. Learning by Heart. A re the answers in this Catechism for Little Children to be learned by heart? The author answers: "Nor it is necesnary that a child should know the answers to the questions by heart; it is enough if he understands the meaning of the words. The teacher should, of course, explain when necessary the doctrine contained in the questions, using simple and easy words and illustrations which will help a child to grasp what is said." (Introduction, p. XIII.)
We are glad of that assurance, because there are certain answers in the Catechism which a child can memorise, but the recital would bring us back to what we are endeavouring to escape from, namely, parrot sing-song, with little or no idea of the meaning of the words. I must admit, however, that there are certain answers in this Catechism that present difficulties for the child of seven years. For example: Q. 2. "By the word 'God,' Imean a pure spirit, infinite in all perfections." Q. 7. "God sees all things, even those which will come to pass by the free action of creatures, their heart's affections and secret thoughts." Q. S. "God is one by unity of nature." Qs. 17 and 29 are rather cumbersome, and might be worded differently. In any criticism of the words, we must remember that we are dealing with the translation of the Latin text. Early First Communion. Pope Pius X., in his Decree Quam singulari, of August 8th., 1910, published by the Sacred Congregation of the Discipline of the Sacraments, definitely fixed the time when children begin to be bound by the law of Sacramental Confession and Communion; he also made it clear how far they must be instructed in Christian doctrine before they can, and ought, to be admitted to their First Communion. The parish priest who is exacting in the amount of Christian doctrine required from children about to make their First Holy Communion ,or who demands a memorised knowledge of the Catechism; the parent who deems his child too young, and the teacher who is worried because the children are not better prepared, all have an authoritative voice to hear and heed. ("ordinal Gasparri claims that the "Catechism for Little Children" is the translation into practice in the classroom Of the terms of the Decree Quam singulari He writes: "We have taken this Catechism, save for a few modifications, from the Decree, Quern singulari, edited by the Rev. Domenico Jorio, Secretary of the above Congregation. In compiling it, the author had before him a Commentary by Cardinal Gennari, who had a great deal to do with the framing of the Decree, and therefore had a clear grasp of its meaning." (Intro(luction, p. XIII, footnote.) The. course in Christian doctrine prescribed by Cardinal Gasparri for chil dren making their first Holy Communion is: (1) A Catechism of 26 questions, no answer of which need be learned by heart; all that is necessary is that the child understands the answer (2 The child is to learn by heart the following prayers: The Sign of the Cross: Our Father: Hail Mary; the Sacraments. On page 3, the author adds a footnote that is worth attend. ing. He exhorts the teachers to explain the words of these prayers, who first said them, descibing the occasion, so that the children may recall the scene and then say them more devoutly. He adds: "It is not necessary that a child should, previous to his First Communion, learn by heart the Apostles' Creed and the Act of Contrition. But he must study them and understand them. Then, after his First Communion, he must continue to study them and learn them thoroughly, so as to be able to prepare himself properly for subsequent Confessions and Corn• munions." (Footnote. page 3.) (3) "Before a person is admitted to his First Communion, he should promise his parish priest that he will continue to study his Catechism; and, if it is a question of children, his parent, or those resRonsihle should satisfy that promise.' (Introduction, p. Cardinal Gasparri prints the Decree of the Sa‘7..ed Congregation of the Sacraments on the age at which children are to he admitted to First Communion ( cf. pp. 226-231). Children Too Young? To those who would keep the children back because of their youth, the Decree says: "The Catholic Church took pains. even from the outset, to bring little ?iilriren to Christ through the TToly
Eucharist, which she administered to them even when babes at the breast„, To obviate the danger of the consecrat ed breads being cast up by children at the breast, it was the custom in early days to administer the Holy Eucharist to them under the species of aim only." Lack el Reverence? .Postponing.First Communion besasse (a reverence tor the Sacrament receives no sympathy in the Decree "Yet this practice, which keeps people away from Holy Communion on the alleged ground of greater reverence for so august a Sacrament, has been the occasion of many evils. For it has meant that children who in their state of innoceuee were debarred from Christ's embrace were afforded no fo,_.,1 for their inter: ior life, so that, deprived in their youth of this powerful safeguard though surrounded ' many tempts: tions, they lost their Ilnocence and fel into vicious habits they came to make their First c' remunion." More Claristiat Doctrine? To parish priests and teachers who demand a memori,-. knowledge of the Catechism, or an undue amount of doctrine, the Decree says: "Probably t hose who unduly nn' st on extraordinary preparations for first Communion are hardly aware of the dangers just mentioned: nor, perhaps, do they realise tat such precaotions have their roots in Jansenism. which regarded Holy Communion as a reward rather than as a remedy f, r human frailty. Yet the Council of Trent certainly thought otherwise, s.1- en laying down that the Holy Eticlui,•H• was 'an antidote whereby we a:..c delivered from daily faults and preserved from mortal sin." What Knowledge Ls Then Required? The Decree quotes :' Roman Synod. held under Pope Benedict XIII., which laid down that the obligation to receive the Flolv Eucharist Ilegins "after boys and girls have reacheo the aye of dis• when they can cretion, that is an distinguish between - Sacramental Food, which is nor. • ther than the Body of Jesus Christ. :aid the ordinary bread we use. and ;-an understand how to receive it with fitting piety arid devotion" The Decrse becomes quite emphatic on this point. It .says: "From all this it is clear that the age of discretion for receiving Holy 1.-orn. munion is reached when a child knows t he difference between the Bread which is the Holy Eucharist. and 'ordinary material bread, and in therefore ap• pee proach the altar devoutly. fect knowledge, then. of the things of faith is called for, elementary knoa• ledge suffices, some knowledge; not full use of reason, for incipient reason. that toio : imisliss y, some use of reason. suffice.

The third annual Ball of the Christian Brothers' College took place in the Geraldton Town Hall on Tuesday, the 11th. inst., and was very largely attended. This year's fixture eclipsed its predecessors, and was in every respect a most enjoyable social event. H.M.A.S. Canberra was in the port, and the dance floor was graced with the presence of Admiral Dalglish and and about forty officers of the battle cruiser as guests. The Mayor and Mayoress ( Mr. and Mrs. G. Lester) also accepted the hospitality of the committee. The attendance was a record one Besides a crowded gallery, there were about 40C on the floor. Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Reedy, of Northern Gully, officiated as host and hostess, and carried out theii duties in a very pleasing and dignified manner. The decorations presented a striking colour scheme, for which Rev. Brother Grealy was responsible. College colours of red and black predominated. Over the entire dance floor was a huge canopy of red and black streamers, prettily arranged in lattice design and illuminated with gold lights. The stage was transformed into a supper room, at the foot ri which was a white lattice barrier, the college crest, and an enlarged picture of the Canberra, presented by Mr. Palms G. Martin. of Gilda Studio. and ferns at the base of the barrier Broadded to the decorative effect. ther Grealv was assisted in the work

Blessing of New Novitiate of the Sisters of St. John of Cod, Beagle Bay Mission A unique and very impressive ceremony took place at Beagle Bay Mission on the 16th. July, when the new Novitiate of the Sisters of St. John of God was blessed and opened by the Right Rev. Monsignor Raible, Administrator Apostolic of the Vicariate of Kimberley. The ceremony was unique in the annals of the Mission, or indeed of •.ny Mission, as it is very rare to have a novit:ate for nuns established on the NI:ssiors it being usual to have these institutions in large centres of population. The Beagle Bay Novitiate is built right .in the heart of the bush, 80 miles from "t1roome, the nearest town. The building is a substantial one of wood and iron, and is erodit to the Pallot tine T'.rothers, who, with the help of the natives, planned and built it. The beautiful qtar-the gift and workmanship of Messrs. Berry Bros., Leederville, W.A., was admired by everybody. The stalls, des4ned by a Brother, end made by the native boys out of lserosene boxes and odd pieces of wood. were an object lesson in ingenuity. c-0 were the tables, stools, presses, ets., all made from the same useful artiess. ceremonies commenced on Sat-- \ morning, the 16th. of July, the of Mount Carmel.

Monsignor Raible addressed the congregation, and thanked the Brothers and natives on behalf of the Sisters for t he very efficient and willing wAv which they had workel to make a home for the young Sisters who had come to sacrifice their lives for the blacks. It would be a house of prayer and a home for the young souls, where they woold train themselves for work that was awaiting them amongt t he poor unfortunate aborigines. The girls, under the direction of Rev. Father Francis, sang Dom Moreno's Missa Nono The singing would have Here in done eredit to a city choir. the heart of the bush, the beautiful harmonious rendering of the Mass, from the lips of the poor little black girls, brought tears to the eyes of the sns Sisters. The Novices, who wi e xception, are all Victorians, were
amazed that such harmony could be produced by little blacks, whom they hail Leen taught to look upon as tit ignorant and uncivilised. in the afternoon an "at home- was held in thE Novitiate, and the whole population was invited to afternoon tea. Buns, lollies, and water-melon were also provided, and the natives, from'the old ladies, who came dressed in old shirts, down to the babies who rolled in the sand and swallowed huge chunks of water-melon, enjoyed themselves immensely.

Central Catholic Library To the Editor. Sir,—It was with no little interest that I read, in the last issue of "The Record," of the projected establishment in Perth of a Central Catholic Library In previous correspondence it has been pointed out that there is need of a reserve of books untainted by current subversive moral and doctrinal teaching, and easily accessible to the Catholic reader. To* all thinking Catholics this necessity is clamorously obvious. What is not quite so obvious, hut no less true, is the need for the inclusion in the library of a solid core of Catholic thought. I was pleased to see that your last leading article drew attention to this, and the fact will, I think, bear special emphasis. A fter all, the dissemination of innocuous reading matter is but a negaThe tive means to the desired end. more positive way is to introduce to readers that great body of Catholic letters which to so many is at present an unsounded sea. It is not altogether the fault -of our reading public that so Tittle is known either of the great ones of the past or of the stout fighters of the present; there are count.1cs: clogging influences which trammel the wide selling of Catholic works. These difficulties are, however, minimised in a library with reasonable subscription terms, and .it is to be hoped that the founding of this well-warranted institution will serve to acquaint many with the wide scope of Catholic genius. It is a lamentable fact, for instance, that the novels of Canon Sheehan are rarely seen, and more rarely read. Tolstoy once called Sheehan "the greatest living novelist," and while this is probably the mistaken judgment of a foreigner, nobody who has read "Luke Delmege" will deny that its author is entitled to a very special place on Despite the popuevery- book-shelf. larity of later govelists (R. H. Benson and C,ecilv Hallack in the throng', Canon Sheehan remains for us the Catholic Dickens. and I for one am certain that his works would soon be well-thumbed if once they come within reach of our readers. -Then, too, on this matter of fiction. may I express the hope that translations of a few French and Italian novels are made a vailable. Rene Bazin died the other day, leaving us a legacy of beautiful fiction, which we should be enabled to inherit; and I am quite sure that it would be well worth a little trouble to get hold of a decent English rendering of Manzoni's "I Promessi Sposi." For a comparatively trivial expenditure. the Central Library could receive the monthly publications of Sheed and Ward. under the Catholic Book-aMonth Scheme, and I voice the opinions of several wnen I suggest that the committee avail itself of this opporThere is at present a small tunity. collection of these volumes in the local library of the Third Order of St. Francis, but they are confined to the sole With the formause of Tertiaries. tion, however, of a Central Library, there should be no need of our continuing in blissful ignorance of the Catholic Renaissance in England and on t he Continent. A little time ago Imet

Again, while there was a very good excuse for Carlyle's wife when she enquired whether "Sordello" was a man. a city, or a book, there should be no excuse for the intelligent Catholic who is a little hazy as to whether Peter Wust is a card-game or a Catholic philosopher. If Maritain, Gheon, Lase edan and Karl Adam become more to us than names, and the brilliant coterie of English satirists is brought even closer, the small expense would he amply instified, and I think the cornmittee could be assured of the support of at least a small group of my acquaintance. A good purpose would be served, too, if some of our lesser-known writers were resurrected. If the character of Stephen Dedalus in "The Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man," is a black libel in the Jesuits (and it is little else), then the lie should be refuted by that particular Jesuit who contributed indirectly to James Joyce's There is enough fire left in style. the ashes of Father Gerard Hopkins' literary holocaust to blast away the calumnies of the Irish renegade. but the point needs hammering home. as who, too, Coventry Patmore, P.I.M-. pointed out in a recent issue of the "Advocate," is the Catholic answer to D. H. Lawrence. and by universal testimony one of the greatest poets of the language, is left to languish in obscurity, while Francis Thompson, his complement. is quite readily obtainable. These are matters that I hope will be set right A - hen the lihrr..ry gains a secure foothold. I do not, of course, wish by any means to imply that "intellectual" writings should overshadow more popular works—obviouslv there must be a a vv preponderance of lighter tare. I merely draw attention to the need of a nucleus of positively Catholic literature. far it is a matter that under plea of expediency can be easily overlooked; and I hold with all who have considered the question that not the least use of a Catholic Central Library is in helping to turn cultured Catholics into men of Catholic culture.—Yours, etc. E.

False Comprehensiveness
It
When Jesus Christ founded His Church, He made it clear that both faith and murals were essentially for salvation. His insistence on the necessity of believing a set body of truths, implied the condemnation of the pagan, as well as the publican. Rather than yield one iota, or compromise any of His teaching, He risked the anger of the Jews, as well as the Gentiles, and put sincerity t o the test by dying in defence of it. And so it is that the Holy Catholic Church, which He founded upon the Apostles and their successors, has continued to teach what He has handed down by .,...tord of mouth and by the writings of Sacred Scripture. Those who differ from her in matters of doctrine or discipline are expelled from the fold as heretics or schismatics. There can be no spirit of compromise, no ambiguity of formula, where sound doctrine is at stake. The present Church ot England owes its existence to this tenacity of purpose, when in the sixteenth century, a whole nation was lost to the faith, because of its monarch's failure to establish a precedent. The Church of England became first schismatical. and then deliberately heretical, and appeared to glory in its shame. • And there was no secrecy about it. More than twelve thousand documents in the British Record Office and the Vatican Library testify to its position. "The Thirty-nine Articles" and the "Book of Common Prayer" were ratified, and they still form the basis of the doctrines and principles of the Church of England. In this deposit of faith, only two of the Seven Sacraments are recognised, and of these two, one is only a symbol, and not the reality. The title. "Defender of the Faith." conferred upon Henry VIII. by the Holy Father, and still inscribed on our currency, is a permanent reminder of the orthodox and traditional doctrine of seven, which he defended prior to his apostasy. Worst still, in the effort to destroy any trace of the Mass, the ministers were deprived of the power of administering the Sacraments altogether, as the nature of the new ordinal proved, and Pope Leo XIII. confirmed, when, in 1896, he declared Anglican Orders to be "utterly null and void." •
•
And now, after three centuries of schism, the position is apparently reversed. Instead of rejecting Catholicism, and all that it implies, as was their wont, Anglicans have adopted the attitude of imitating its ritual, and even of appropriating its name. Catholics should have no objection to this, but would rather feel honoured at an imitation which is the highest form of flattery. were it not for the fact that it is only the acceptance of the shadow without the substance. In the interest of truth and charity. the Catholic Church has always insisted that there can be no return to Catholicity without unity of doctrine and submission to the divinely instituted authority of the Apostolic See). _. This tendency of accepting the shadow for the substance i_s.--rThphasised by the Anglican Convention now being held in Sydney, which passed the following resolution: "This Church doth hold, and will continue to hold, the Christian faith, as professed by the one; holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church from primitive times, and in particular as set forth in the creeds known as the Nicene Creed and the Apostles' Creed."-• • • i.Now, the object of the Oxford Movement was precisely to make good this claim of Anglicans to continuity with Catholic The result was a doctrinal crisis, second only to the antiquity. "Reformation" itself. It led Newman and his followers into .the Church of Rome, while it gave a new Catholic impulse to AngliBut the principle has not been carcan thought and worship. ried through to its practical conclusion, and the Anglican Church now appears to he content with accepting in theory what it is not prepared to act upon in practise. Nor will the problem of continuity be solved by assuming that the Church of England, the Greek Church, and the Catholic are really three great divisions of the Church of Christ. Apart

from the fact that such an idea of corporate unity is repudiated by both Greeks and Catholics, such a Church would still labour under the defect of merely superficial unity. for its creed would be a mass of contradictions. Its Catholic members would uphold the supremacy and infallibility of the Pope, while the Greeks ani Anglicans would reject it. And with regard to all the other d . trines professed in common by Greeks and Catholics. the Anglicau Church would he almost entirely at variance. • It is some such principle as this which undi:H i s the Anglican tendency to compromise in matters oi doctrine to-day. It would seem to ignore the necessity of a definite dogmatic creed The ambiguity and looseness of expression. conaltogether. tained in its formularies, lead one to support the contention. Those of its members who hold the most contradic(...)ry doctrines are not anly allowed to approach its sacraments, but are often promoted to its posts of trust and authority.

It must first attain tlriity within itBut it cannot hope for the recovery af dissenting bodies self. while it is itself alienated from the great body of Christendom. Unity and. Catholicity are the same thing, and so all' only attainable by union with the Supreme Head of Christendom. The Anglican Church thus stands in the illogical and un!listorical position of being Catholic in its tendency, while it is 1- i,elesslv committed to error in its doctrine.

That Christ may live and reign! Our Divine Lord can claim, iustle, dominion over the hearts and minds of men, a dominion that has been symbolised in more than one Catholic country by the beautiful statues of Christ raised on high, literally on the mountain tops, for all to see.. That Christ may truly reign, not only in the hearts of Catholics, hut in those of all men, is the constant, age-long desire of the Church. With this desire the faithful should correspond, by fervent prayer, that there he one Kingdom and one King.

SOCIAL NOTES Sunbaths for the Home.—It is scarcely necessary to point out to housewives in this Southern land the need fur giving a thorough sunbath to all soft furnishing when conducting the usual "spring cleaning." All carpets and mats should be taken out and hung in the bright sunshine for a few hours, at the same time beating the dust well out of them. Curtains and all hangings need to be thoroughly shaken, and also given a sun bath. Be• fore packing away blankets and the heavier counterpanes for the summer, they should be washed on a fine day, so that they will dry quickly. White quilts are improved by adding a little extra blue to the final rinsing, as this prevents them from turning yellow when not in use. Eiderdowns and mattresses must, too, be cleansed from e very particle of dust before being put away in the linen cupboard. The sunbath goes far towards destroying any moth larvae that may have gut into woollen or other articles, and if they are wrapped in sheets of paper, or packed into large grey calico bags, there is little fear that moths will find entry_ to them during the warm weather, and the housewife will find her blankets, etc., at the beginning of the next season in as good a condition as when she packed them away. Upholstered furniture and cushions should frequently be taken out into the sunshine and thoroughly freed from dust. It is a good plan to wash walls, shelves, and floor of the linen store-room with warm water, to which a little good disinfectant has been added, in order to destroy any germs that may be there. Electric light globes should never be changed when the power is turned on, as one if likely to get a shock if the bulb explodes or collapses. as now and again happens. The eyes seem to be the most affected, as, naturally. one's gaze is concentrated upon the globe. The risk of injury may he minimised by using a duster when handling a bulb. However, the safest plan is to switch off the current and it is a wise plan to always have an electrict light torch handy, as this gives the necessary light to remove an old bulb and attach a new one.

This game was one of the best of the season, and was played at a very fast pace from the first till last whistle. After three very even quarters, Rosalie came with a great rally in the last few minutes, and ran out winners by 30 goals to 27. Whilst not in the least detracting from the merit of Rosalie's win, it was obvious that the Subiaco girls were either suffering from "nerves" or that the players had mislaid their early season form, when they conquered all Loss of form and nerbefore them. vousness is apparent in most games with such an issue at stake. The grand final was played on Octce bet 15, at Subiaco, between Rosalie and Maylands. Again Mr. J. Wall officiated as umpire, and satisfaction was given to both sides. Failing to reproduce their semi-final form, the Maylands girls were overshadowed by the powerful Rosalie team, who seemed to have the ball on a string and could not do wrong. Al, hough fighting a losing battle, the Maylands team staged a great effort in the last quarter, and held their opements to a small score for the term. The final bell rang with the scores 41— in favour of Rosalie. Much praise is due to the 1932 shield holders, Rosalie, who in their second year of the competition have obtained the highest honour at their To do this they second attempt. have had to meet stout opposition from five other teams.

Catholic News from Everywhere
GERMANY'S GREAT ACT OF FAITH. One of the most remarkable events in this year of wonderful demonstrations of faith was, says the Dublin 'Standard,' the 71st. Annual Congress of German Catholics, which opened on september 1st., in the great industrial centre of the Rhineland, the City of Essen. Held under the patronage of St. Albert the Great, Patron of Peace, the subject proposed for discussion at this year's gathering was "Christ in The 'Holy Father, bethe Cities." stowing his blessing on those participating in the Congress, made the occasion more memorable still by sending a letter, under his own hand, to Dr. Fiscser, the president of the Executive The most impressive Committee. sight which Europe has seen since the closing of the Eucharistic Congress in Dublin was the 'losing ceremony of this great Congress in Essen, when almost 300,000 persons, gathered on a high hill near the town, attended the final Mass of the Congress.

"A bad-tempered and ill-mannered diatribe," is Archbishop Downey's apt description of the harangue against the Catholic Church delivered by Dean Inge at the Modern Churchmen's Conference at Bristol. 'If the Catholic Church is so contemptible, why does t he Dean worry about it?" asks the Archbishop. "It would seem as though he is indulging in a course of autosuggestion, and he will soon have perthe Catholic that suaded himself Church simply dues not exist, and this notwithstanding the fact that the overwhelming majority of Christians in the world to-day acknowledge allegiance to the Pope as the father of Christendom. The Dean reminds us of the old lady who watched a whole regiment march past. and calmly remarked: 'They are al! , .1!!: uf step except our Tohn!'
NO LONGER WORDS OR THEORIES. A strong criticism of the evil system whereby a comparatively small number of people were living in wealth and luxury, while the vast mass were living in a state of semi-starvation, was made by Rev. Father Maccabe, C.SS.R., when he preached recently at the Scottish Catholic Land Colony. Father Maccabe was addressing Catholics from Glasgow and district, who took part in the first outing to Broadfield Farm, organised by the Scottish Land Association. The system, he said, was one which was wholly alien from the Gospel of Our Lord. Everyone born into this world was God's child. and God had given the human race this world in which we He had given it to us to suslive. tain life so that all might have that It reasonable and proper existence. was that plan of God's which had been clearly reversed. No longer was God's rule of property believed. What was POLAND'3 ACT OF FAITH. The whole of the evil the solution?

The onward march of progress by the Perth C.Y.M.S. still continues to manifest itself, and the scene inside St. Mary's Cathedral at the nine o'clock Maas last Sunday, when 140 members knelt at the altar rails to receive Holy Communion, was most impressive to the vast congregation attending the It marked the culmination of Mass. the first Triduum by the Society in Perth, and speaks volumes for the rapid and sustained progress made by this society during the past twelve months.

Astonishing Record of a Priest-Builder Not less amazing than the work ot I3uckfast's monk-builders is the record of Father Denys Mathieu, parish priest a t Bromyard, near Worcester. The Bromyard mission has two churches and a presbytery, and it was Father Denys who put them all up, with his own hands and practically unaided. He has also built half a dozen houses or bungalows. He is his own architect. When Father Deny-s went to Bromyard in 1908, Mass had been celebrated there only two or three times since the There was no church, Reformation. the services were held in a room of Nor had Father the Falcon Hotel. Denys any money to build one. Settling in a small house, he began his mission among about a dozen Catholics. In an upper room he fittgd up a chapel and celebrated Mass there for about five years.
By 1913 Father Denys had raised enough money to secure a plot of land, and on this he set to work building. First he erected a double studio. One part of this he used as a chapel, the other became a school-room, where he gave plaiting lessons and taught French. The money he received from his pupils paid for his first bags of cement, and having obtained them he started The only help he had the church. came from a man who mixed the cement. In the following year the church was opened: in one year he had erected a building with three altars, two chapels, and a sacristy and vestry. In it there was room for 150 people. Father Denys next built himself a house. Made like the church, of reinforced concrete, it has five rooms on the ground floor and a turret where the priest-builder sleeps. Building No. 4 was a parish room which Father Denys connected to the church. Towards the end of 1930, Father Denys's second church, at Bishop's Frome, was opened by the Archbishop of Cardiff. In spite of these activities, Father Denys has found plenty of spare time, but he does not use it in sitting down and looking at his handiwork. Among other things -he has gone in for rabbit breeding. goats, poultry and bees. and he has laid out the grounds around the church at Bromyard. Moreover. he finds time to visit his relatives abroad.

We have had a few weeks of self denial, and thus saved the 3s We will keep on at it, and will be able to send some for the December LB We hope we are considered "Cornerites," and that we got a share in the Holy Mass offered by Dr. McMahon on the feast of the Little Flower. We wish you a great Overflow for the Lemonade Bottle, and our offering is in honour of Our Lady of Lourdes, St. Christopher, St. Winifred, and the Little Flower. YOUR TWO OLD WOMEN FROM B RIDGETOWN. My Two Old Women From Bridgetown,—Of course you are a "Cornerite." You would not be in my Corner if you were not, and you certainly did receive a share in the Mass on October 3rd., for I, who have a fairly wide range of vision thought of the two of you that morning, as I thought, indeed, of everyone who has been good to the Bushies' Appeal. Now, about that self-denial! You must not go in too much for that, please, even to help me, though I am touched and gratefully edified at the evidence of your selfsacrifice To be proud of my Brigade is excusable, but my soldiers put me to the blush—they are so unselfish. Anyway, we will look forward to a glorious flourish of bugles announcing victory in December, and then we may sit down to our Xmas pudding without any obligation of self-denial taking the flavour out of the sauce.
