Manjimup Mission School MAY, 1933 ' Please, Father, there's a lorry at the gate; the man has brought some children from Palgarup.' The three little children ran breathlessly from the gate with the news. "Tell him I'll be there in a minute, I just want to finish screwing on this blind before I come down from the ladder." It was one of the finishing touches in the closing in of the verandah which was to serve as a dormitory for half of the boys who in two days' time were due in at the Convent for the annual f ortnight of religious instruction. The sooner the blind was fixed in position the sooner the Sister could get to work, placing in position the last of the beds, laying out each with its mattress, pillow, sheets and blankets. "Father, you won't forget to nail something on to the end of the place where the boys will be haying their meals, wil: you? It gets pretty cote? out there at times, and the rain beats in." This time it was a Sister's voice, speaking [torn the verandah. "I was wondering, too, how we could manage for seats for them this year. The 'boards we had last year have all been used up. The girls are alright. We have shifted around the tables in the refectory and made the three into one long one, and there are just enough stools for in there. Have you any idea yet how many girls will be coining?" An assocance that, the end of the verandah znd the seats would be seen to relieved the Sister Superior of one more anxiety, and away she went to other duties. . The blind fixed in position, a visit to the gate revealed- the .baker's delivery van. "Mss. Gibillini asked me to bring in her four children to the school when I was out at Palgarup to-day. She - was hoping that it was not too early. but no one is coming in to-morrow that she knows of." This was really only Thursday afternoon, and the very earliest arrivals were not expected till the following afternoon, the big majority not till the Saturday. However, thanks to good management and timely preparatien on the part of the nuns, most of the beds had been already set up—only the ones on the verandah below remeieed to be settled, and that was only a matter of half an hour, now that the place was properly closed in. "No. it was not too early; it would be quite alright for them to come in now." But the problem was—where were the four children? They could be neither seen nor heard, Stepping around to the back of the van, there they were, hidden beneath the big canvas canopy, sitting as quiet as mice, two boys and two girls: the girls as alike as two peas in a pod, the boys, one a sturdy lad of 13 Years. and the other the baby of a large family who lost the father a few years back, and whose mother, with the help of the elder sons and daughters, has since put up a splendid battle to make up for his loss. Down from their nook they jumped, and down followed the cases and the bundle of rugs. They were not strangers to the Convent. The two girls were in last year. the elder boy two years ago, and though it was the little one's first visit, he had heard so much about it from the others that he already knew just what it would all be like. That afternoon they were able to help a li le with the preparation for the others vet to come. While shutters were being fixed to close in the end of the verandah. and seats hurriedly put tcgether of planks and kerosene cases, all sorts of questions had to be answered. "Was Mick Piggott coming in this year? What was the name of the boy who was in. not last year. but the veer before; he came from Pemberton. and had red, curly hair. Couldn't he play football? He could bump. toq.—Does Brian Burney still go to the Pemberton school? He had seen the boy O'Donnell at the sports in Pemberton. What used the.. call him? 'Digger.' Yes, Digger O'Donnell. Did we remember how Digger used to curl up in the centre of a motor tyre, and the boys used to ron them along. It was good fun." BY tea time you would have thought that visitors and permanent boarders had known one another all their lives. A few games of Dominoes and Snakes and Ladders. then the Rosary, and hy 8 o'clock all were fast asleep in bed as soundly as if they were in their own homes miles away. Friday passed off quietly enough, till the afternoon. In the school classes went on es usual, while the four early arrivals spent the time looking up their prayers and catechism. In the meantime the Convent kitchen had quickie SAY— "I saw your ad. in "The Record."

become the scene of unaccustomed bustle—here all was business. Sacks of potatoes, of cabbage, pumpkin, and swedes. cases upon cseses of apples and pears—the thoughtful gifts of generyus friends—made the back verandah resemble nething so much as a . greengrocers shop, Trades people called with additional supplies of stores. The baker had to make two trips to carry in a supply of bread that one would have thought sufficient to last a week; the grocer hurriedly deposits his parcels, his tag of sugar and a sack of flour, and the butcher smilingly gave a sigh of rehef as he unburdened himself of his contribution towards Saturday's and Sunday's dinner.

come for their lunch. Her exclamation of surprise as she caught her first glimpse of the seven strangers soon brought the other Sisters from inside to join her in her hearty welcome. While the latter are commenting on the changes that have come over the children since their last visit, the first Sister has quietly disappeared into the kitchen, to soon reappear with seven additional pieces of bread and jam on her tray. Half an hour later. Mick. Pat, and the two jirns, with their belongings, were being shown by the Sister in charge of the boys where they were to sleep, while Marv, Sheila, and Annie. with their cases, were escorted up-

And now they have been badly beaten. Palgarup has stolen a march this time, and beaten them by a whole day. However, though city folk think that time does not count in the country, promptly on the Friday afternoon, just as the other children were getting out of school, like a big operatic company loaded with bags and baggage appear at the school gate seven of the future men and women of Quinninup, or shall we call it rather "Warren Bend." Mick Piggott is in front with a smile that even the huge case he carries on his shoulder cannot hide, a smile that could grace the open face of only a healthy, care-free, 'country boy. Sheila, his sister. is not far behind, as shy and demure ss ever, but beneath that shy exterior lies a good reserve of quaint humour. With her are her inseparable schoolmates, Annie Yates and Jim.

"I wonder who'll be in the bed in the corner this year " "That's where young Frankie Stokes was last Year." "Mick, don't you snore to-night.' "Who snores?" "Of course you .don't." "Do you remember ¶he two Wallaces last yeas, .Jimmy? Bill and .Jack. They used to sleep in the same bed, one at each end. and ,it whichever end you looked all YOU could see was a head of black hair and two big, dark eyes. Upstairs similar patter went on. "Sister. den't let Mary sleep in the same bed as me. We fight too much at herne." "Yes but. Sister, Jean wants all the blankets to herself." A few minutes and everything has been arranged to the satisfaction of e verybede the extra rugs are put on the beds the towels hung up. cases put away in their places; and then— "Where's the footy?"

Mary and Jim were in—how they have And look at little Pat. grown since! It is his first time away from home but the happy little smile that made his whole face beam as he lay down his bundh of rugs at the school .door did not desert him for a moment in the whole fortnight he was in. HomeOne would think sick, how are you! that Pat. I ad travelled the world, he was so much at home. By a stroke of good fortune—or was it of good management---they were just in time to be too late for school, inn not too late for the play-lunch. Their visit to the Convent to annotim.'c their arrival just happened to coincide with the appearance of a Sister at the door to ring the bell for the children to

"Father, will there be anyone else coming in to-night? About how many do You expect in the morning on the early treir from Pemberton? Have You any idea how many will be here for dinner to-morrow?" It's in moments like this you need Minties. If only the parents had thought beforehand to send along a little note to let us know just who was com:ng and who was not, how much easier it would be to answer these ques ions, hut for most people a class with an axe or behind a plough. or 12 hours in the kitchen, come easier than ten minutes with the pen. The train from Pemberton of Saturday mornings reaches Nranjimup shortly- after 7 o'clock. so an early Mass in the Convent oratory gives the other children a sleep in for their first morning

At the station, as the train pulls in familiar faces from Pemberton, Barr -n-' hurst, and Eastbrook pass in quick cession. Two Pemberton lads Scram ble down from ryl this his t i il ar gurlieage; is afurctoh: on are the C'Alins and Kingstons; cloer er to the back are the three rig Cunneehnsst' and d lietrtles t'i 'verleY; and there near partrnent from which get out four litties. children whose dark complexion and jet black eyes betray their Italian parentage. They nave come from Group Settlements at Eastbrook. the As one passes along the station, try. ing to mester them into one group, one hears the question asked a dozen times: "Look at all those children, Where a:e they going They must be going up to the Conyet-1 .

The sight of a lollie shop et cn so early in the morning proved toe big an attrae tion for a few, who were not prepared to take the risk of a hole being burned in their eockets. The more prudent keep their few pence for later on. Passing the children on the way, and looking at the faces, one could almost pick out the strangers. They are beginning in earnest now to wonder what it will all be like? Will they enjoy their stay? Will they miss their mothers and their home? You can see the serious expressions and the touch se nervousness written all over the fact' : of those two big girls, who probably h.ive never had occasion to meet a nun in their lives before. if they have ever e'en one.

Pre-war poets, despite the prevalence of the poppy, did not frequently mention it; but occasionally our singers have noted this growth. Matthew Arnold. in "The Gipsy Scholar." vividly depicts the country: Screen'd in this nook o'er the high, halfreaped field. And here till sundown, shepherd, will I be. Through the thick c.,rn the scarlet poppies peep. And round green roots the yellowing stalks I see, Pale blue convolvulus in tendrils creep. For sheer loveliness and delicacy ot expression, I know nothing finer than the first stanza of the Choric Song in Tennyson's "Lotus Eaters":

and Keats could find his autumn -sleeping Drowsed with the fume of poppies. . . . and be justified of his borrowing . . . "drowsing" and "poppies," in company had at least been suggested by Shakespeare's lines." The fact that opium is obtained from some varieties of poppies has brought the flower into a disrespect which may, or may not, be justified. One poet writes: The poppy is a devil flower. — yet even, opium, as a drug rightly used, is one of the greatest boons to the doctor who wants to relieve pain. Molly A. Haley, in "Speak to my heart through gardens,' sees an uplift. ing suggestion in the stately poppy, in fact it preaches to her: Speak to my heart through gardens. till I see The shame of service rendered grudgingly; Turn from the selfishness that could forget A life-time were too short to pay my debt, Beholding how from bud to petal-fall, Proud poppies flame with joy at giving all.

In Flanders' Fields.

During the War the poppy was viewed from an entirely new point of view from that which associated her with the dreamy Persephone of the Greeks. The reason we wear this flower on Armistice Day was eloquently stated by a War hero: "I saw the Garman guns plough up the fields of Fampoux, in the Spring of 1917. I saw the good grain of good men sown in the drills and in a few days the crocus and the poppy were making beautiful the far-flung graveThe kinTy earth is, indeed, yard. We take 'kindlier than men know.' long to build our memorials. We argue about their shape hnd their position, and even at best we but build our little mounds of stcne and mud that shall be swept away. Xature required no time to set up her great memorial, for her poppies grew on the newlymade graves, an ever-recurring and never-dying memorial" Cne of the' outstanding war poems was Col. John McCrae's 'I'n Flanders' Fields," which appeared in "Punch":

served. He auoted Macaulay's "History of England," chap. XX: Macaulay gives as his authority for this statement a letter from Lord Perth to his sister, in .June. During many months the ground was strewn with elulls and bones of our men, and with fragments of hats and shoes. saddles and holsters. The next summer the spil, fertilised by 20,000 corpses, broke forth into millions of poppies. The traveller_ who, on the road from Saint Tron to Tirlemont, saw that vast sheet of scarlet spreading from Landen and Neerwinden, could hardly help fancying that the figurative prediction of the Hebrew prophet was literally accomplished, that the earth was disclosing her blood ani refusing to cover her slain. In citing Thompson twice, I am tempted to quote some of the eulogies which J. L. Garvin. "Q.," G.K.C.. and a host of others have paid him, but I will simply give the opening lines of As a description of "The Poppy." this flower. I think it is incomparable: Sommer set lip to earth's bosom bare, And left the flushed print in a poppy there: Like a -.-awn of fire from the grass it came. And the fanning wind puffed it to lapping flame. With burnt mouth red like a lion's it drank The blood of the sun as he slaughtered sank. dipped its cup in the purpurate Andd shine, When -he eastern conduits ran with wine.

The Hollyhock in Literature.

The Holihock disdains the Common Size of Herbs, And like a tree do's proudly rise. and Ebenezer Elliott, the Corn Law Rhymer, speaks of the "fallen hollyhock," a fitting epithet for a plant whose ambition is to rise high. Bees love this tall garden ornament which furnishes suoh feasts of honey: and Horace Smith emphasises this, "And from the nectaries of hollyhocks the humble bee e'en till he faints, will sip," while Margaret Deland, in her lovely "Old Garden," tells us "The bee swings all day inside the hollyhock." Ben Jghnson has a pretty conceit when he names "Bright crowne—imperiall Kingspeara. Hollyhock," and Jean Ingelow mentions: A brave old house! A garden full of bees, Large dropping poppies, and Queen Hollyhocks, With butterflies for crowns. Matthew Arnold pictures a scene of splendour in which the hollyhock plays a noble part: The boundless waving grass plains stretch thick-starred With saffron, and the yellow_ hollyhock. And flag-leaved Iris flowers. And what could be more delightful than Katharine Tynan's "choice": When skies are blue and days are bright. A kitchen garden's my delight. Set round with rows of decent box And drowsy girls of hollyhock. Then john Drinkwater paints an alluring picture:

Newman Society Lecture THE CHURCH AND SCIENCE (By Rev. DR. GOODY.)

A most interesting lecture was delivered to the members of the Newman Society, at the University, Crawley, on Wednesday night, by Rev. Dr. Goody. A large n amber of members were present, an i followed' the speaker carefully throughout. The following is a general outhne of the subject: During toe second half of the last centuey, the complacency and self-satisfaction ci the adversaries of the Church had reached its apogee. The mediaeval romantic superstitidn of Christianity was, they thought, almost done with. Pius IX., after his flight to Gaeta before the conquering united Italian army, was to be the last Pope. Tae theory of evolution had done away with the necessity of a Creator and Sustainer. The latest research of Geology had proe'ed the Bible to he a collection of childish fables. The triumph of science had completely worsted its retrogressive rival, the Church, and only a few years more would see the final extinction of it.

•

enters upon. There must also be borne in mind the principle so often ture, "that a specialist is proverbially ignorant on other subjects." The natural sciences, then, are limited to what falls under the senses, particularly the sight, and are 'trilled by the dictates of the vision alone. Religion is in a very different department; it is limited by faith, by what we believe, the truth of which is demonstrated to us by revelation, If then men respect the voice of conscience as judicial and consider themselves to have sinned if they contradict its admonitions, it is all the same whether the sun goes round the earth as in the Ptolemaic system or the earth around the sun, as in the Copernican, The question whether the sun is continually fed by the mechanical colision of asteroids, or by the continual condensation of its own matter, has no effect whatever on the doctrine of the Trinity or of the Sacraments. As the old proverb says, the Bible, or religion, if you like, tells us how to go to heaven, not how the heavens go. As a parenthesis, I would like to remind you, that some facts can be demonstrated both by pure science and b yrevlation, but even in this case, one proof is quite independent of the other. Take for example the fact that the earth has a beginning; both the requirements of geology and Divine revelation necessitate the admission of this truth. I will conclude this first "a priori." part of my discussion with two short notes. The first, on the uncertainty of a large quantity of our so-called scientific facts, and the second on the evil results of confounding unmistakable facts with a theory or a working hypothesis. There is too much doubt and uncertainty in the world of science to-day for us to decline the undeniable helps of revelation—there is too much fog and darkness enveloping many of the problems of philosophy for us to close our eyes to the Sun of Truth, or for us to make naught of the light of God's inspired Word. In short, to use the words of the American humorist, :Josh Billings: "It is not so much the ignorance of mankind that makes them ridiculous, as the knowing of so many things that ain't

The kaleidoscope of opinion has, however, since then been turned and a new, less-convincing and less brightly coloured oettern has appeared before the gaze of the interested. Pius IX. was not the last Pope, and the Papacy has done nothing but advance in inluenee and prestige since his time. Evolution has so far proved to be unprovable in so far as it effects the teachi eg oi the Church. Geology, as it progesses. does nothing but show the marvelous accuracy, though couched in Tireple popular language, of the Bible account of the Creation, of the flood, and other otherwise prehistorisal events. state of notwithThis affairs etanding, the persuasion still exists, that and is even widespread, a inan who believes in a personal God and a supernatural religion, places himself in intellectual thraldom, and is incapable of appreciating the significancs of the latest scientific discoveries. Is not this attitude, even judging "a priori," as baseless as it would be to say that a mariner forfeits his freedom of action because he takes notice of buoys and lighthouses, because he relies for guidance on compass and charts?

Mass on Sunday, Mr, Haire, athletic coach, will be along, and upon the success of that meeting depends w hether we enter a team or not. We are naturally anxious about this section of the Society, and should like to make a small remark. A boy who suffers from inferiority complex, who is ever doubting and distrusting his own talent. that boy will never advance in life. Don't convince yourself that you have no talent before You try, and if after a first endeavour you find that you have but little, then remember that all power and talent is capable of development. Football. The P.S.A. team had a "bye" on Saturday last, and so avoided playing under what would have been very unfavourable conditions On 'Sunday our boys travelled to Clontarf, and had a first class game there. Mr. Phil Giles, our coach, played with the P.S.A. team, and the improvement in play, due to his influence, enables one to realise what a good coach like Mr. Giles means to a team. We may yet be in "The Four." There were a numbers of visitors at Clontarf to see the match, and were impressed by our team. We are intlebted to Brother Daley, Superior of Clontarf, for his kindness in allowing us the use of the ground. We have trespassed on Clontarf many times, and we have always been greeted with the same unfailing kindness. The Society is deeply grateful, and wishes, through these notes, to thank Brother Daley and the other Brothers at Clontarf.

The Confraternity of the Sacred Heart is to-day, and has been for vears, a potent influence for good in this parish. The first Sunday of the month is Confraternity Sunday—the day for the monthly Communion, the monthly meeting of the members, and the monthly procession of the Blessed Sacrament, Last Sunday was a day of days for our Confraternitv--it was the first .Sunday of the month of the Sacred Heart. It was not surprising, therefore, to see very large numbers approaching the altar rails in the morning, and no doubt these numbers would have been even larger still but for the inclemency of the weather, and attending the monthly meeting in the evening and taking At evening part in the procession. devotions Rev.

When the Federal Minister for Health Mc Nfarr) and his party visited Alexisaaven, recently, they were the guests of the Bishop (the Right Rev. F. Wolf. CD. S.V.D.). "While the party was being shown over the mission houees and workshops dozens of natives from neighbouring islands, who had come to attend the Mass, put off for home in catamarans," says the "Sydney Morning Herald's" special representative. "Members of the party were the gaests of the mission at lunch. Mr. Marr expressed pleasure that the Minister was gaining first-hand knowledge of ti e problems of the territory. The nartv later was entertained with music by an orchestra composed mainly of natives, who played marches and other mueic excellently. Bishop Wolf pointed out an island opposite the mission, behind which a German cruiser in the eariy days of the war hid while ships of the Australian fleet made a vain Rewash.' Alexishaven is the flourishir4 centre of the mission of the Fathers of the Divine Word in Eastern New Guinea. While the Fathers, with the Sisters of the Servant Sisters of the Hclv Ghost themselves live tinder conditions of extreme poverty and hardship, they train the thousands of natives under their spiritual ministrations in various trades and civilised customs. While thee have made the Faith flourish among the natives, the missionaries do not neglect the bodily health and welfare of their spiritual charges. The Rev.

Rev. Father Phillip Lau, after spending two years as chaplain to the Chinese in Ral- aul. New Guinea; has been recalled the Bishop of his diocese in China, owing to the shortage of priests there. Much of the teaching in Rabaul w;li be carried on by a Chinese catechist. Australian Sisters of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart have charge of the Chinese schools in Rabaul, under Rev. Father Madigan, M.S.C., a so an Australian. At ITshe•'s Hotel, Sydney, Dr. H. M. Moran. entertained His Excellency the Apostolic Delegate (Most Rev.

Many high in the public life of the city were present. Crowdei congregations morning and evening were a feature of a very successful Reclemptorist Mission given at Gilgondra (N.S.Wa recently. The concluding exe•cises were attended by an extraordinarily large gathering. _ * His Lot' Iship Dr. Coleman, Bishop of Armidale, has returned to Armidale, after an extended tour through the North-Western portion of his diocese.

Dr. ilayden, made an episcopal visit to Qaeenstown and administered Confirmation to a number of boys and girls and adults. His Grace also visisted other parishes before returning to Hobart. Apologies for non-attendance at the public meeting at Middle Park (Vic.). to take steps for establishing a memorial to the late Very Rev. R. Power, 0.C.C.. were received from the Prime Minister, the Hon. J. A. Lyons, and the leader of the Federal Opposition, the Hon. J. H. Scullin. Mr. Scullin wrote: "It is not possible for me to attend the meeting, and I am very corn' that circumstances prevent me. I should have liked to attend and pay my tribute to a great priest, whose work was of such benefit not only to his Order, but to the whole of Australia. I hope that the efforts being made to recognise his work will be crowned with success." The Rev. John Parker, who was officiating at the evening devotions at St. Mary's Church, East Orange (N.S.W.), on a recent Sunday evening, returned to the sacristy to put on vestments before he gave Benediction. He then walked to the altar and announced that he was sorry that he could not continue as he did not feel well. He went back to the sacristy, where he collapsed and died soon afterwards. a Few priests in Australia (says the Melbourne "Advocate-) are bettei known that Father .John Ryan, CM., and his transfer from St. Josephs. Malvern, to Southport, Queensland will be sincerely regretted by the Catholics of that State. Throughout Victoria there is scarcely a village that he has not visited, and nothing ever made a greater appeal to him than to be "on the mission," conveying, in his own inimitable way, with that voice of rare quality. the Faith to those who were in darkness, and arousing the careless and indifferent. Father Ryan is a man of many parts. He was an international cricketer at nineteen. He was Rector of St. John's College, Sydney. and Superior of St. Joseph's, Malvern, but he is best known as a missioner, whose delight it has ever been to bring back the wayward and help on the faithful, The Commonwealth Government entertained at lunch the Apostolic Delegate.

THE RECORD.

Father John Lynch Farewelled After seven years in the extensive parish of Jarrandale-Pinjarra-Waroona. to which in recent years has been added Yarloop and Harvey districts, Father John Lynch has resigned his charge, and left for other spiritual fields. During his long and arduous work for the religious needs of the people among whom he laboured, Father Lynch never spared himself when duty called to him. Only a big man could have accomplished the amount of work that his huge parish demanded from him. And he was a big man, physically and spiritually. Amongst his people he was ever the kindly, zealous pastor, who had at heart their needs, and was ever mindful of his sacred calling. Through the various centres of his extensive parish he was well known by all sections, and esteemed by young and old alike. Until the depression hit the timber industry, he had his headquarters at Jarrandale, where the For the Convent was also situated. last three years. however, Pinjarra has been the central pivot of the vast parish. and during that time the Convent and school under the charge of the Sisters of St. Joseph, have been established at Pinjarra. The transference of the School and Convent from Jarrandale gave considerable satisfaction to the people of the district. With a thought for the social as well as the spiritual building and equipping of the- commodious parish hall which adjoins the church and the erection of a Presbytery. These works are evidence of the unbounded zeal and the good pastor and the confidence he had in his people. They also reflect his faith in the future of the district. Father Lynch left the State by the mail boat Moldavia. which sailed from Fremantle for England last week. After a short holiday with his friends in Ire land, and a visit to the Eternal City. he will join the Novitiate of the Oblates of Mary Immaculate. The best wishes of the people of the JarrandalePinjarra-Waroona parish go with him and many prayers for a very fruitful missionary career in the religious Order he has chosen for his future labours in God's Vineyard. Before his departure from the district a farewell social was tendered to him in St. Matthew's Hall. The first part of the evening was occupied with card games—euchre and bridge—at the conclusion of which a dainty supper was served by the ladies. Following the supper. Mr. McLernon, who organised the social, presented Father Lynch, on behalf of the Catholics of Pinjarra, with a roll of notes, as a slight tribute of their affection and regard. Making the presentation. Mr. McLernon said that during Father Lynch's ministry

he had done excellent work for the Church and the spiritual welfare of his flock, and he had endeared himself to the people by his kindly and genial disposition. Mr. Healy supported his remarks. There was one thing about Father Lynch which he admired, and that was he never asked others to do what he would not do himself. Father Lynch. in reply, said he was deeply touched by the kind remarks of Messrs. McLernon and Healy. He sincerely thanked them and the Catholic people for the presentation and the social evening in his honour, both of which he appreciated very much. Above all, he appreciated the loyalty of his people to him during the Years he had been with them. It was over seven years since he first took charge of the parish, his headquarters being then at Jarrandale. During the past three years he had been intimately associated with the Catholic people of Pinjarra, and was proud of their whole-hearted co-operation. If in the stress he had done or said anything to hurt their feelings, which was never intended, he humbly craved their forgiveness. If at times he seemed to be hard on them, it was only to urge them on to greater efforts—not to rest on their oars—but to go forward with the good work. The Catholic population of Pinjarra was, after all, very small, but they had done excellent work, with the co-operation of non-Catholics--to whom he was deeply grateful—in the erection of the fine hall and presbytery on their ground. Though the hall at present appeared to be a white elephant, he hoped it would be turned tc the use for which it was intended in the first place—for a school and parish hall. In leaving the people of Pin, jarra he would feel great admiration for them. There was not one of the Catholic population, he ventured to say. were of independent means. Direct giving for the work of the church was. therefore, out of the question. and so they had to resort to_ itertainments to He was leaving assist their funds. them to embark on a new sphere of life, and he asked them to kindly remember him in their prayers, and especially when they assisted at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, as he would also remember them in his prayers. If it was God's will he hoped perhaps one day to meet them again. but if that was not possible, he hoped they would meet in the next world in the kingdom of heaven. The remainder of the evening was spent in dancing and singing, vocal items being contributed by Miss Neave, Ronie Donohue, and Roma Kelly, Father Lynch himself contributing. Miss Jean, Sutton presided at the piano. A pleasant evening was terminated by the singing of "Auld Lang Syne."

The Church in Spain

June 11.—Trinity Sunday. Double of 1st. Class. White. 2. First Sunday after Pentecost. Mass Prayer: "Almighty everlasting God, who hast granted that in confessing the true Faith, Thy servants should acknowledge the glory of the eternal Trinity, and in the power of the divine majesty should also worship unity: grant that by steadfastness in the same faith we may evermore be defended from all harm." Strictly speaking, the Trinity is commemorated every Sunday. Yet it seemed good to the Church to institute a special commemoration on this Sunday. We may regard it as a solemn profession of faith in the dogma of the Most Holy Trinity. The feast is made to co-incide with the first Sunday after Pentecost, and thus is a sort of introduction to the long series of Sun. days which follow. The Epistle of the Mass (Romans ch. xi. ) emphasises the "height of the riches of the wisdom and the knowledge of God," so far transcending our understanding. The Gospel contains Our Lord's command to the Apostles to baptise in the name of the Three Divine Persons. June 12.—St. John of St. Facundus, Confessor. Double. White. 2. SS. Balsides and Companions, Martyrs. St. John, born in Spain, of noble parents, from his childhood days gave promise of great future sanctity. Ordained priest, he lived a life of extreme poverty, and later on sought greater perfection in the Augustinian Order. He was endowed with the gifts of reading hearts, and foretelling Finally, having foretold the future. the day of his death, he passed tranquily from this world to God. June 13.—St. Anthony of Padua, Confessor. Double. White. St. .Anthony, one of the glories of the Franciscan Order, is one of the most popular of saints, on account of the great number of miracles wrought through his intercession. The fame of his apostolic preaching spread throughout the whole of Italy, while both during his lifetime and after his death, he came to be regarded as a Thaumaturgus. St. Anthony died in 1331. June 14.—St. Basil the Great. Bishop, Confessor, and Doctor. Double. White. St. Basil was Bishop of Cesarea, and one of the shining lights of the Eastern Church. He was remarkable for his great learning, and his strenuous defence of orthodoxy, He is regarded as the Patriarch of Eastern Monasticism. and among the monks of the West, the Benedictines found their inspiration in his rule. St. Basil died in 379.

It has been said that a country deserves the type of Government it receives. If that be so, Spain is indeed in a sorry plight. In its persecution of religion, it has now joined the ranks of Russia and Mexico. The recent suppression of the Teaching Religious Orders once more recalls the power of anti-Clericalism in Europe. Under the guise of Liberalism or Secularism, it has proved to be the most deadly modern enemy of Catholicism. Most of the Catholic States of Europe have experienced its baleful influence. For the last half century France, the eldest (laughter of the Church, and for centuries the leader of Catholic culture, has fallen beneath its sway. Its teaching Orders have been banished, and religion removed from the school room. Since 1870, and up to the advent of Mussolini, it had been all powerful in Italy. Belgium has had more than its share, until the opening of the present century, and now comes Spain following close upon the religious chaos of Russia and Mexico. • • Anti-Clericalism of this type derives its impulse from the secular theory of Government, which would completely divorce Church and State, and ultimately destroy all religious influence. Such a view of State authority is directly opposed to the Catholic ideal. All power is from above, and the State is no exception. Moreover, the claims of the Church are prior to those of the State, inasmuch as the spiritual power is superior and prior to the temporal. The stability and social well-being of a State is dependant on the observance of an authoritative code of morals, and such a code June 15.—Feast of Corpus Christi. Double of 1st. Class. White. may only be sanctioned by religion. The experience of history has Mass Prayer: "0 God„ who under a proved that religion is at the root of all true culture and progress, wonderful Sacrament has left us a and the most potent factor in the survival of the fittest. It gives memorial of Thy Passion: grant us, to society the rational outlook upon life, upon which its welfare we beseech Thee, so to venerate the depends. The rejection of religion has already resulted in racesacred mysteries of Thy Body and Blood, that we may evermore feel suicide and divorce, through which nations gradually drift to their within us the fruits of Thy redempown destruction. It was so with Greece and Rome in ancient tion." The special feast in honour of times, and it looks as if a similar fate awaits France and Britain in * the Blessed Sacrament, which we celeour own day. brate to-day. was instituted in the 13th. •

It is precisely because the teaching religious Orders exert such an influence for good upon the younger generation, that they experience such unjust persecution. There is little hope of secularising a State, while the teaching Orders are allowed to function. Their independence of worldly reward, and their self-sacrificing devotion to duty, render them a power in the land, before which the secular State school system pales into insignificance. They teach as people having power, because that work is protected by the authorative sanction of the Church, and not by the usurped authority of the State. In the interests of Liberalism, the oily alternative is to suppress them. An added incentive to suppression is the looting of Church property, which rewards the zeal of such social reformers. Such is the policy of Liberalism, involving a programme of oppression which belies its very name, and a gross violation of the principles upon which it was originally based. • • But the Church and its principles remain unmoved, though its progress be momentarily retarded. Its withers are unrung, for it has had too much experience of the world ever to forget the possibility of persecution. It realises that religious influence should permeate the whole life of the child, and that while its mental powers are unfolding they should be constantly guided by its light. The sacrifices made to attain this end—heavy as they are —are light in comparison with the results achieved. It is but another of the life being more than the meat, and the body more example than the raiment. And, as in other countries, similarly placed, Spain is determined to carry on without the _aid of theCatholic secular school system. and the Church will eventually emerge all the more riumphan for t the sacrifice. t

century. Although Holy Thursday is the true Feast of the Blessed Eucharist, but since the thought of the Passion pre-dominates in Holy Week, it was thought good to take another day on which the Church might manifest all her joy in the possession of the Most Holy Sacrament. .June 16 --Within the Octave of Corpus Christi.

Social A monster bridge party will be held in the Star of the Sea Hall, adjoining the church, Cottesloe. on Thursday night next, June 15. This event is in aid of the Presentation Ball. and the committee look forward to a large attendance of past pupils and friends of the Presentation Sisters. In the Fremantle Town Hall on Wednesday next. the 14th. inst., the ex-students of St. Joseph's Convent, Fremantle. will hold their second annual ball. Last Year's ball was the outstanding success of the season, over six hundred persons attending. Next week's function should be even more successful, as an energetic committee is busy arranging details for the greater enjoyment of all. A special feature will be the presentation of debutantes, who will be received by the 'Mayoress, Mrs. F. E. Gibson, and the Very Rev Father Neville, O.M.I. On the following evening the children's grand plain and fancy dress ball will be held. While the newly-convened U.S. Congress was passing the Emergency Bank Bill. which conferred autocratic powers on the President in dealing with the financial crisis, Mrs. Frankling D. Roosevelt. "First Lady" of the land, sat in the Presidential box in the House, calmly knitting. America's "First Lady" is not fussy. Because there weren't enough chairs to go ratind at White House, Mrs. Roosevelt, wife of the President, set a new note in informality during her first conference: with "Ladies of the Press." says a Yankee newspaper. "The First Lady" knelt on the floor, while some of the lady scribes sat around her. After she told her stories to the interviewers, they were served with tea and cake That kind of informality is sure to win hosts of friends. "Make yourself comfy. girls!" was the olive leaf right from the start. The Annual Ball of the Christian Brothers' College will be held in the Government House Ballroom on Wednesday, Tune 21. Everything possible for the enjoyment of patrons has been arranged bv an enthusiastic commit tee, and judging by the sale of tickets there will be a record crowd. Tickets obtainable from members of the committee, Ahern's. Cogan. - Nicholson's, or Musgroves. MISS MARY CRAIG'S MAJORITY. Over 90 guests attended the local hall. Corrigin. on Friday last, to celebrate the coming of age of popular Mary Craig. The guests crowded the hall. which under any other circumstances would have made for rtiscomfiture when dancing was .in , progress: but on this happy occasion, only served to imbue a spirit of jocularitv and good. fellowship among those present. Mr. and Mrs. F Craig and their daughter. Mary, carrying a delightful posy. of rosebuds and smiling as of yore. welcomed the guests as they -attired: Mrs. Craig wearing a frock of deep blue satin. and Miss Craig a dainty frock of apple green morocaire with wtrite velvet coatee and crectals. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the dancing, music for which being supplied by Messrs. Fielding and Efford and Mrs. Spannev. .1 supper surpassing in excellence any vet seen in Corrigin. and, almost reaching banquet proportions, was served by the hostess.

Miss Craig demurely responded, and thanked all her friends, and especially her mother and father, for the splendid party and presents they had given her in honour of the occasion. Mr. Joe Campbell proposed the toast of the "Host and Hostess" mentioning the splendid way in which Mr. and Mrs. Craig contribute to the social life of the town. Mr. Craig, in his inimitable manner, told his daughter, as he presented her with a huge golden key, that she would now be able to come in the back way instead of having to wake mum and dad at night. He sincerely thanked the truests for their attendance, and the respect shown to his wife and daughter. Miss Craig's . golden key was afterwards autographed by all the guests who, with increasing gusto it seemed, joined in the dancing until a late hour. Miss Craig was the recipient of many beau. tiful presents.

New Norcia Football A Black and Blue ViCtory. New Norcia Oval - was the scene of a good exhibition of football on Sunday. June 4, when the Mission representatives again succumbed to the attack of the Collegians. J. J. Clune had ctiarge of the whistle and kept the game well under control. The game opened with the Collegians kicking into a strong cross wind, with the aid of which the Mission forwards thrice penetrated the inner opening. In this term the College backs were strictly on the defensive, and they did w ell to score the three single-flaggers which were against their name. Making full use of the wind in the second quarter, S.I.C. piled on the goals. Greg. Clune was playing a great game at centre half forward, booting with the best and soaring to great heigths for the leather. In the third quarter Mission again made a bold bid for victory, George Taylor being especially noticeable among the forwards; his ground plas.

was heady, while his shooting showed commendable judgment and accuracy. The lads entered on the last lap with a goal in hand, and with a strong wind to help them on, it soon became apparent that the Natives would have to make an exceptioltally spirited attack in order to turn the tables. The bell sounded with the College victors by a wide margin. Bandy and G. Clune again divided honours among the ranks of the winners. Maunsell played his usual solid game in ruck, while V. Clune , Lang and Repacholi also pleased. V. Brennan. while on the wing, showed a turn of speed. Gilchrist, at half-forward, played his best game for the season, he made good use of the rather slender opportunities offered him. Benson, Withell, Spackman, and Polinelli were prominent on occasions. George Taylor, for the Mission, put up a splendid performance. Of his team's tally of nine goals, he contributed seven. Willoughby, Indich. and M. Ryder rendered valuable assistance, while the quartette from St. Mary's Orphanage gav'e encouraging displays. Dick. Drayton, and R. Taylor were also useful. Final Scores: SIC,, 13 goals 10 be. hinds; Mission, 9 goals 5 behinds. On next Sunday an interesting en. counter should be seen at Calingiri, whither the College team will travel.

DISTRICT BOARD. The fortnightly meeting was held on the 6th inst., the District President, Bro. S O'Halloran, presiding over a full attendance of members. At the outset, the chairman extended a cordial welcome to Sr. F. Williamson, the newly elected District Guardian, and said that he felt sure that she would bring to bear on her work as a District officer that keenness and enthusiasm that had characterised her work as secretary of the Social and Sports Committee. Sister Williamson, in expressing her thanks for tilt welcome, said that she would do her best to jus. tify the confidence that had been placed in her by the members of the District Board. Several matters of great importance were considered, amongst these being the annual Retreat for members at the Redemptorist Monastery, which it is expected will take place early in August. Members are asked to bear this important event in mind and commence making arrangemerits to enable them to participate in it. The question of the annual competition for the rendering of the President's Charge at the initiation cere. mony, was discussed at length, and it was decided that. in order to interest country members in the competition, it should be held during Show Week This year the competition will be (-livided into two sections. called "A" Grade and "B- Grade sections.

The members of the delegation were greet, ed by an attendance of 25 members all of whom seemed to be keen enthusiastic for the advancementanci of their branch, Rev. Father Finnegan, who had just returned from Ireland, was present, and was very heartily welcomed. He expressed his keen sat. isfaction at the improved condition of the branch, and congratulated the IDS cers and members on their wonderful work during his absence. It is felt that the branch will continue to in. crease in strength, and that the pro. gress made cannot be termed spas, modic. It is very pleasing to be able to report that the Hibernian debating team, comprising Bros. W. A. Brown, W. I. Keogh, and G. Barlow, won its first debate against the N7ew Econom, ists' team, and those of our members who were present were delighted with the wonderful performances of our re. presentatives. They certainly desery. ed the commendation expressed by the adjudicator. Mr. S. Masel, and are to be heartily congratulated on their very fine success. The next delnte will be against the C.Y.M.S, team, on the 7th. inst., when ,the H.A.C.B.S team will comprise Bros. T. Edwards, W. I. Keogh. and G. Barlow.

No man can do more than his can do more Men many good a But best. than they think is their but act with Deliberate with caution, decision; yield with graciousness, but oppose with firmness. It will be a great colisolation for us at the hour of death to see that we are to be judged by Him Whom we have loved above all things during life. There art two kinds of freedom—the false, where a man is free to do what he likes; the true, where a man is free to do what he ought. We can make no use of time past. As little use can we make of time to come. We can inak-: use only of the passing moment. Courage is captain in the mental realm. When couraze leads the other When courfaculties follow bravely. age fails they run away. We seldom repent of taking too lit. tie. but vet N• often of taking too much; a common trivial maxim which everybody knows and few practise. The discipline of personal sorrow has a mellowing effect upon the character of the sufferer, who in consequence grows more gentle and genial, and more keenly sensitive to the distress of o thers. He who unceasingly seeks to nourish himself with the Precious Blood of Christ's Wounds will be safe against all the perils and difficulties of this miserable life. REAL WORK. Prayer is real work and possesses all the dignity belonging to real work. It employs all the powers of the soul, the understanding the memory, and especially the will. It brings a man f ace to face with the one great reality °God. It makes him realise his absolute dependence upon God in this life and the next, and alsoboth the utter worthlessness of everything except God. His love and union with Him, the beginnings of which union are achieved here by prayer. --Dorn R Hudleston, AN ACT OF CONTRITION. I speak to von, God Almighty. MY Crea#or, my Father. my Friend.

THE RECORD. FOR THE WORLD'S SAKE. If the life of the Catholic is to be distinct from that of the world, it is for the world's sake as well as his own He must break from that life which is under the powerful spell of Satan, that he may have at his disposal those forces by which alone that spell cart be broken and others set free.— "Spretus." IN HIS WILL. To have what we would not have is, indeed. the source of sufferings; but when we are clothed with the eternal will of God and not our own, we become one with Him, and judge• all things in love, according to His most holy will. THE CALL. There is implanted in the heart of man a knowledge of his high destiny, and, urged by grace, he longs to reach upwards to attain the vision on the mountain-top. He feels he is not made to Ralk on a low level; he is not at ease on the common road, and, in spite of the cry of convention and the specious reasoning of false doctrines striving tc drag him down, he yearns to follow the call of his higher nature. Man cannot crush in himself the desire to correepond with the Divine plan, failure. Utter failure means eternal loss, but man knows that, however deep his fall, he is not beyond the pale of God's mercy, which reaches even to the grave.—P, Charles, &J. GOD AND MYSELF. God made me • God placed me where I am God ,knows my dust.

Dispo-.:ing all things about me Suffering me to be tempted Yet never beyond any strength Bringing me at times to the brink of hell That I may learn That I maw understand That I may be humbled That I may have something to give Him That I may know the suffering of others But His mercy is upon me For -I hope in Him In Him I hope I shall not be confounded for ever. —Alban Goodier,

who had put himself in conflict with the authorities of the Church because of his outspoken sympathies for the National Socialist (Hitler) Party, repeatedly refused to obey an order of his superiors to give up his private residence in Feilnbach. Upper Bavaria, and to retire into a monastic community, the Holy See has had to issue a last official order to the same effect. Even this order Father Schachleiter refused to obey.

German Bishops and the Nazis POSITION OF CATHOLIC HITLER-

nms.

Supplementary instructions to the manifesto issued by the Conference of Catholic Bishops at Fulda, on March 28th., are reported by the "Nationalzeitung' of Essen to have been sent to the Catholic clergy concerning their future attitude towards Catholics who are followers of National Socialism. Members of the Nazi Party, according to these instructions, are not to feel uneasy regarding the reception of Holy Communion. Membership of the Nazi Party is also to be no reason for a refusal of burial by the Catholic Church. Nazis appearing in church in uniform, even in large numbers are not to be refused Holy Communion. However, the carrying of flags of political parties into churches is to be prevented wherever practicable by a previous amicable agreement. Hitler has now offered a welcome, if they care to return to Germany, to the two men who murdered Matthias Erzberger, the former leader of the Catholic Centre Party, who signed the Armistice in 1918 at Compiegne. All proceedings against the men who "removed" Erzberger—as it is delicately expressed—have been ended. it is officially announced, and they can now return safely to Germany. Since the Rt. Rev.

The Congregation of Rites has, therefore, had to pronounce the "Suspensio a divinuis" against him, which deprives him for ever of all priestly functions. Father Schachleiter is considered a sick man, and this is taken to account partly for his acte.— N.C.W,C.

GOODNESS IN LIFE. Goodness is not a negative, but an intensely pesitive thing. It is energetic, active. steong. The very word virtue implies effort of the most constant and The powers of our strenuous kind. mind and body simply were not given us that we might simply keep them from mischief and hold them in check so that they should not harm ourselves or others. They were given us for acThe tongue to speak, the eve tion. to look, the mind to think, the will to choose. The body is the machinery through which the inner force of life is to express itself. The most mortified life is not a passive one; it is rather one in ,which the whole nature has been broloht under the control of the will, and the will under obedience tc God FATHER DEGEN'S POINTERS. Vice is often more easily cured than The so-called "New Morality" is simply the old immorality sailing under false colours. Better remain silent than offer an explanation which makes confusion worse confounded. Inattention to what is being said is always a lack of politeness, and is sometimes a mark of contempt. Human personality can be degraded and enslaved as much by the blind idolatry of riches as by the crippling miseries of poverty. The warfare between the soul on the one hand and the Devil, the World, and the Flesh on the other, is not just prize-fight, at which we sit as passive spectators, but it is a life-long contest in which we are active participators An open face, radiant with light and joy, is an indication of the Christian spirit. whereas shifty eves, frowns, and curled lips are a sign of its absence. You cannot water down the dogmas of the Church without weakening the moral code. The reason why there is so much loose morality to-day is he. cause unalterable dogmatic beliefs are treated by many people as though they were no more than human opinions.

Thank you for your big donation and for sending it in honour of Her who is the Star I bore will guide us on to that £300.

Dear Month o' May,—Our Blessed Lady is being good to me anyway, and thank you for your five shillings. There will be knobs on the tips of my fingers at the end of this Great Adventure, but I will not mind about that if I can draw out my £300 on Xmas Eve and leave enough to keep our account open AUNT BESSY. Bridgetown. Dear Aunt Bessy,—Please find enclosed P.N. for 5s., in honour of Our Lady Help of Christians, Patroness of our native land. We hope you will succeed in getting the £300. It is for such a good purpose. We had the Bushies in here at the convent for two weeks and the Sisters had them looking so nice and well behaved during Holy Mass. Hoping the Scheme will be kept going, and that money will pour in.—We remain. YOU,R TWO OLD WOMEN FROM BRIDGETOWN. P.S. : We sent you a P.N. for 5s. during Passion Week, as an alms for Lent, but did not see it acpnowledged. We wonder if you got it.—Y.T.O.W. My Dears,—Regarding your P.N. I did acknowledge the receipt of the 5s., which was duly received. I think you will surely find it in the issue of "Record" for April 15th.. and under your letter I specially printed a poem by Brian O'Higgins, titled "The Old Woman's Song," as I felt you would both like it. I am sorry if you misssed seeing that number, and if I can procure it I will forward it to you if you send me your address. Thank you both very gratefully for your .is now, and for your encouraging wishes. Surely so many genuine wishes for our seccess will be counted as prayers by the angels—at least I am asking those holy spirits to look upon them as such, and to put them to my account, so we will see. "We must keep going somehow," said Rev. Dr. McMahon the other day. when 'I told him the outlook looked blue, and we will keep going, -too. if the Catholics of W A. will only realise what the Scheme means to the souls of the children in the bush.
