The Ethical Aspect of Russian Bolshevism Lecture Delivered to the Newman Society Addressing the Newman Society, on the above subject, Father Gorey, C.SS.R., said: There is no need, I take it, to prove the following two facts:—

Thus, withthere was no means of holding in check in three years of its application, the complete socialisation of trade was rethe inborn greed of mankind, nor any objective norm of determing what is nounced. .

Notwithstanding the terrorism, all was not working satisfactory. Terrorism was only able to hold the people together for a few years. The necessity then, of searching for a new incentive became evident:- and the new incentive was found in the forming of This was the ''Five Years Plan." in 1928. Time will not allow me to enter into a close examination of the plan. Its essence consisted in making feasible the complete socialisation of all labour within five years. It in. eluded huge schemes of building, manufacturing, land development and the rest—all to be accomplished by the State. Perhaps it is too soon to judge This much, of the ultimate result. however, we know ,and our source of information is not from travellers' tales, but from the official organs of the Soviet, namely, that Russia is not a paradise on earth. Thus the "Pravda," in its issue of March 24. 1931, says of the housing: "Flats have been constructed in the communal housing. They have been equipped disgracefully. Staimtses have not been completed, and already they The sanirequire thorough repairs. tare conditions; are bad, water supply and draining have not been taken into account.

On July 19th, 1931. the same journal notes, that in a factory employing 4,000 people a worker might dine in the filthy dining-room only .once in three days. Food supplie; also (July 18, 19311 are very precarious. In last May, 23 of the pit stores received no meat at all during the whole month, while at times, the stores would suddenly receive half the whole ration of meat f or the month, -which goes had. Both the "Pravda" and the "Izveetiya" lanuary 10, 1931) report a speech of 11folotar at the January Convention, 1931, in which he admits that production was not according to plan---basic and heavy industries being below normat and lighter manufactures in a more languid condition. He promises that 50 per cent. of arable land will be corn mtmised by the end of the current year; yet over a year before the world was informed that more than 50 per cent had already been communised! ("Izvestiva." Feb. 2, 19-30). Another report. at the same convention gives figures of production for 1931. Production in coal, with the introduction of projected machinery, will be 83 million tons Yet "Izvertiya,- for Jan. 30, carries a bitterly critical article against slovenly methods and complains that important' machines for the mining of coal were not ready, no hope even of their readiness being in sight. It told of miners' protests against the intolerable life in the coal pits—a sidelight verily on the tragedy behind the spectacular dumping of coal or the markets of the world! Increased industrial activity called for extra hands, and the report to which 1. refer gives us the clue to the proHem: "The plan calls for the introduction of 800,000 women into production" --with the consequent organisation for common feeding, children's cribs, children's homes and kindergartens. The mother on her way to work has to leave her baby at the State crib! This is how woman was emancipated from the home! But, of course, we must not call that forced labour! The slaves of pagan times were driven to their task by the power of the lash. and the distinction between slave masters of pagan times and the Dictatorship of the Proleariat is a distinction without a difference.

The Marx-Lenin programme, however was not only concerned with giving new orientation to economics. It also included "reforms" in the ethical strue ture of society itself.

PARISH OF TOODYAY THE CONVENT BALL. A Brilliant Success. Despite the inclemency of the weather, the anual Convent Ball of Friday, September 8th., resulted in yet another pronounced success. Literally all roads led to Toodyay on that occasion for there were visitors from York, Northam, Goomalling. Wongamine. Calingiri, Moora, New Norcia, and Perth. Thanks to the generous and capable organising of Miss M. Willoughby, of Midland Junction, and of Mr. J. Hassell, of Perth, one of Caisley's roomy buses brough a party of 30 all the way from the metropolitan area. Truly these facts give convincing evidence of the popularity of this annual function conducted by the Sisters of Mercy. The spacious and airy ballroom was delightfully and artistically decorated for the occasion. The decorative inspiration came from an experienced hand, in the person of Mr. E. B. White. of the Victoria Hotel, his useful and practical ideas being neatly executed by Messrs. D. Brown and R. Elsgood, of Perth. The result was a charming spectacle of streamers and coloured lights. This scene of gaiety was rendered complete when the room, although immense, became taxed to its comfortable capacity by well over 300 lovers of the 'light fantastic." The ball dresses were of the latest, both in quality and style. and would adequately satiate the desires and tastes of e ven a Queen Elizabeth, Mr. J. Griffin was again on the rostrum with his melodious and popular 5-piece orchestra. and merited unstinted appreciative praise from all sources. The extras were rendered by Miss M. Willoughby at the piano, and by Mr. D. Lawler on the drums. The floor presented an icy slipperiness, thanks to the painstaking and experienced efforts of a true friend—Mr. W. Willoughby—whose goodness was also responsible for many another task in connection with this ball. Upon arrival at the entrance to the dance room, intending dancers met an e fficient and popular door-keeper in the person of Mr. W. Wing, of the Freemason's 1-totel, who, in exchange for a small donation was pleased to furnish them with a "ticket of leave." Wally has been at the game for years, and is iustifiably the proudest man in Toodvay on such occasions. He was ably assisted by another sincere friend of the Sisters—Mr. E. Paterson—who had also rendered invaluab:e service during the preparations for the ball. In order to avoid eongestion in the main ballroom, the orchestral music had been relayed to the spacious topstorey boys' dormitory, which was previously the popular venue of the convent ball. For this successful relay Mr. Arthur Pidgeon, of Perth, was responsible. The organisers are deeply grateful for the electrically capable assistance of Mr. C. Piesse, our local engineer. The supper arrangements were excellent. The long tables were exquisitely decorated with nature's best in the way of flowers, Iceland poppies and boronia (both red and brown) being the principal species. Some of these flowers came from the Sanatorium, thanks to Dr. Mitchell, whilst the borenia was the gift of Mrs. G. Prord's relatives. of Albany. Mr. T. Brimstone was on the door of the main supper room,. and those who entered therein were greeted with an that can make for culinary perfection. From savoury eggs to fruit eakals, etc., the menu was a most comprehensive , )ne. so that every palate

was abundantly catered for. Three - upper rooms were commissioned for the occasion, so that practically all of those present were able to be served a t the one sitting. This undoubtedly reflects great credit on the organising ability of the Sisters, and also on the efficiency of those ladies who, though small in numbers, were nevertheless big in heart and self-denying in their efforts in waiting on table, etc. The Sisters are deeply grateful to one and all who, by their efforts, donations, or patronage, helped to make the 1933 ball such a wonderful success. They wish especially to thank Miss Connie White, who placed her car and herself at their disposal on the day of the ball. The children's ball, held on Saturday, September 9, was also a great success. Great numbers of adults were also in attendance and availed themselves of the broadcast music to dance contemporaneously with the children.

The Oxford Movement A eviThe citizens of Melbourne are dently receiving their due share of theological enlightment, at the hands ef the Anglican Oxford Movement enehusiasts. The following pertinent suresy is taken from the last of a series in the of articles,, penned by “Advocate, 'and is not without point for Perth folk, in view of recent lectures on the subject:— With the conversion of Newman, the Oxford Movement has no further seriDean Stanley says his ous history. t etirement was its closing scene. ... "It as more than a defeat." writes Church; it was a rout, in which they were driven headlong from the field. ' The centenary of the Oxford Movement has been hailed by the Church of England with well-stimulated enthusiasm. To the plain man, however, who has any acquaintance with the history of the movement, it must be not a little puzzling why the Church of England should celebrate it at all. After all, people do not rejoice over a haemorrhage, and the Oxford Movement culminated in a serious haemorrhage in the Cherch of England. But "mistiness" remains to-day, as in Newman's day. the "method of wisdom" with certain nends. Only it issues in such silly attiotrlinising as to make the The vast proportion of angels weep. the audience who listened to the colourless centenery speeches at the Town Hall. and ez. the congregations who hearl the neeetive centenary sermons at St. Paul's, were as utterly at sea, as to the meanieg and purpose of the Oxford Movem< et. with its resolute stand for the dogreitic principle (the last traces of which are fast disappearing from Anglicee teaching), as old Kase par in Sout! egg poem was as to the lasting benefit-, of Blenheim. "But what good came of it as last?" Quoth little Peterkin. ' Why, that I cannot tell." staid he, But 'twa, a "famous victory." The High Church party in. England. , indeed, might make out the simulacriim of a case fer the celebrations. They date the in', eiuction of their Catholic practices free the movement, although their exulta!;en in the eossession of the rind to the neglect of the fruit has little to commend it. But they were determined • celebrate the centenary. The Bishop - who can scarcely get themselves t tolerate he High Church complexion .‘yere equally determined to spoil their little game of waxing enthusiastic se er the centenary, too. A section of the Low Church voiced its resentment against the Oxford Movement as treason to the "Reformation." Here in Vieteria, Anglicans take their cue from Englend. Archbishop Head. as leader of that communion, in his address, insisted on including the Methodists in his, "comprehensive" embrace. It ,-eminds us of the famous rebuke of Disraeli. Dean Stanley had Spoken slightingly of dogma. Disraeli quickly retorted: "No dogma. no dean, Mr. Dean." If the Methodists, who reject an episcopacy, are in as good case as the Anglicans, who accept it, whatever can he the use, ornamental or Practical, of an Archbishop? In or about the came week. Dr. Head fraternised in worship with the Methodists, attended a ` Requiem Massat St. Peter's, Eastern Hill, and delivered sunrlrY addresses on the Oxford Movement, in the course of which he said, inter alia. that he was r ot sure whether the "Church- would retain all its gains from the movement. This delightful detachment has, of cemrse. historical Precedent in Crammer—the accommodating. The centenary preacher at St. Paul's was a minister from St. Peter's, Whose.

St. Paul. in writing P t the Hebrews, reproached them as unfit for meat—the food of men. It is a Painful comment on the mentality of men in the Anglican Church that they can go on being regaled on this sorry Pabulum —the inane mumbo -jumbo of a "glorious comprehensiveness." Chesterton somewhere makes the reflectien: "Trees have no dogmas: turnips are very broad-minded," and no doubt, t oo, cabbages possess a highly developed complex of "'glorious comprehensivene's."

stand on the tortoise, nor the Barmecide fatten on empty dishes." But we confess to deriving not a little wry entertainment from the celebrations in Melbourne. The pains the various speakers were at to eschew all mention of the name of Newman, "clarurn et venerable nomen," pricked our risibility, if no more. They hopped and skipped and ducked and dodged in and around the Oxford Movement, but for poor Newman "none so low to do him reverence." Children have a game in which a player who is "ticked" by a pursuer is "out." The centenary speakers were pleased to play at some such children's game; for whoever, it would appear, should touch the name of Newman would be thereby well and truly "out- by common acclaim. And yet it does not trespass on the theologian's domain at all, but is strictly within the purview of the historian, to recognise that the Oxford Movement without Newman is Hamlet without the Prince of Denmark. But. then, Newman became a Catholic What is more, Newman, who was the soul, brain, and voice of the Oxford Movement, tore into shreds its claim to anything other than a foreign body In within the Church of England. his "Difficulties of Anglicans," published in 18.50. with a clarity ,precision, amplitude, and fidelity that he could so well exhibit, he demonstrated in six cogent lectures his thesis. "Communion with the Roman See, the Legitimate Issue of the Religious Movement of 1833." . The movement was foreign to the National Church, was not derived from it, was not in the direction of the National Church, was not in the direction of a party in that Church, was not in the direction of a braneh church nor of a sect. So who could afford to introduce the name of the author of euch an indictment into his Anglican But it may be centenary address? asked, why then the Anglican celebrations of the Oxford Movement at all? The Lambeth Conferences were pointed to with pride by various speakers at these celebrations ,n Melbourne as the progeny of the Oxford Movement. We submit. on the contrary. that the leaders of the movement would resolutely disown such an offspring. Indeed, the mention of Lambeth Conference should call up no pride in Anglicans, but rather shame and confusion of face. It is becoming more and more unintelligible how so many good and religious-minded men can still find shelter in the Anglican communion in view of latter-day devlopments. In a recent exchange in The Advocate," we were informed that an English Peer. I ord Irwin. asked the rhetorical question begging a reply in the negative: "If Newman were alive today in the Church of England, ac it is to-day, would he leave, it as he did To which eightv-five year,: ago:" amazing query we can only exclaim: "0 tempora; -0 mores," Lord Irwin has eerily misread his man. Newman. who declared that one of the three final blows that broke him as an Anglican was the appointment of an Anglican Bishop to Jerusalem, there to join in worship with Lutherans. would have revolted in his 'soul at the appointment oi the all but Rationalist Anglican Bishops of Birmingham and Durham today. Newman, who was violently impelled to initiate his movement by the spectacle of Erastianism, would not have waited for the Judgment, an ad= verse judgment at that, of a largely pagan Parliament on the official prayer. book of his Church. Above all. New. man, who adored chastity, would, like Lot in his escape from the Cities of the Plain. have filed 'Alt of a church whose Bishops assembled in a Lambeth Conference (with stern sorrow we write it), flung the mantle of their official approval over the unspeakable sin of Onan and the loathsome moral perversions of Marie Stopes. We shall bring to a close this review of the Oxford Movement with a passage from Newman's sermon, "The Parting of Friends," in which the preacher apostrophises the Church of his birth: "0 my mother, whence is this unto thee, that thou hast good things poured upon thee and canst not keep them, and bearest children vet darest not own them? Why bast thou not the skill to use their services nor the heart to reHow is it that joice in their love whatever is generous in purpose. and 'ender or deen in devotion, thy bower and thy promise, falls from thy bosom. and finds no home within thy arms?

A PLEA FOR SUPPORT. The ever increasing number of accidents in traffic and in industry has stirred the commnity in West Australia to the necessity of the formation of a National Safety Council, haying aims and objects similar to the Safety Councils already existing in the Eastern States, and other countries of the world. The main object of the Council is to inspire all classes of the community with a "safety conscience," in order to reduce the number of accidents and the human suffeiing and economic loss attendant upon them. The necessity for such an organisation may be gauged from the fact that over eighty per cent. of accidents are dtie to carelessness in one respect or another. The Safety Campaign proposes to pursue its object by educating the pub' lie with regard to the common rules of the road, and .the ordinary safeguards to be observed in traffic congestion. Its interests also embrace the safety of all workers in factories. mines, and workshops, or wherever experience has proved that accidents are general. The education of public opinion is to be promoted by l'ectures in schools, addresses to factory employees, and by intensive press propa ganda. In addition the council hopes. as far as its funds pet-alit. to co-operate with :.he Traffic Department and the Automobile Club in erecting warning and danger signs wherever necessary. There can he little doubt that the Prevencampaign is a laudable one. tion is better than cure, both from the human as well as the economic point of view. There is an obligation on everyboely to use at least ordinary diligence in safeguarding the lives of others, and it is as meritorious to save one's neighbour from injury as to act t he good Samaritan tc,wards him afterThe Safety Council deserves wards. the support of all charitable and eivii minded citizens, and as it depends entirely upon vluntary subscriptions th• need for that support is crident Mern hers are enrolled for an annual subscription of five shillings for indivi•

St. Columba's, South Perth Coons! Coons! Coons. On Tuesday, October 12, at the Gaiety Theatre, South Perth, Mr. Sydney Smith is presenting his troupe of Coons to resurrect the old plantation songs, to bring back those haunting melodies from the cotton fields, to make us hear again 'Massa in the Cole, Cole Ground," and to twinkle our toes when the bones rattle, and the tambourines jingle. and the banjos twirl. Are you coming to town for the Show? Over here in South Perth will be staged the biggest hit of Show Week. Do you want to laugh? Come over on Thursday evening of Show Week, and laugh and laugh. Listen for a moment to what the Arch-Coon Sydney is prepafeing for your amusement and entertainment. There are twenty-one items, ranging from the opening chorus to the final That opening chorus is splenfarce. did, gathering together all the dreamy, snappy, sad, and hilarious coon songs, specially arranged by the Arch-Coon. And the scenes, and dances in which Coon wit, coon talk, and coon antics will send you home with a coon pain, from laughing at Coons. To let you into a secret—what do you think of this? Mr. Stan O'Brien as a coloured Judge! Mr. Fred Burke as a Coon Police Sergeant! And the prisoner. "with an 'orrible fake!" Who is the prisoner? We offer you—no, we did not mean that. we nearly forgot ourselves, and promised you a free seat if you could guess the prisoner's name. Well, the prisoner is tried by a Coon Jury for a Coon crime! What was the crime? Here is something that will try your wit better than an Obstinate Artist competition. So, ladies and gentlemen. permit us to introduce ourselves, as the South Perth Coons— The Bows: Massa Sydney Smith. The Pianist: Mammy May Strap. The Cornermen: Massa Stan O'Brien, Massa Fred Nfurke, Massa Bob Sanderson, and Massa Joe McCusker. And there is a man-hunt for a Coon in green shorts, who is hiding among the hills around Armidale. Do you know him?, A final question before °caning to the merry band—did you ever see a ginger Coon? Well. siree, we shure have grower! 'rin here in di, parish. Tenors: Messrs.

This leaves St. Mary's leading with 16 points, and St. Joachim's No. 1, Hill Street, and St. 13rigid's No. 1 equal with 14 points. In the `"B" Grade men, owing to three teams having tied for fourth place, two play-oils are necessary to eleminate two teams.

" Living With the Church

PERTH, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1933.

The Consecration of a Bishop The Episcopacy is the continuation of the Apostolic ministry through an uninterrupted series of Bishops, from its institution by Christ down to our own day. It is of Divine faith, as the Council of Trent declares, "that there is in the Church a Hierarchy instituted by Divine ordinance, which consists of Bishops, priests, and ministers (deacons)." The Bishops, then ,are the successors of the Apostles, consecrated ".to rule the Church of God," with power to confirm the faithful, to ordain priests, and give them authority to preach the Gospel and administer the Sacraments, and with power, also, to consecrate other Bishops. • • • The Bishops are, for their respective docks, the interpreters of revelation, the governors of the Church, the depositories of doctrinal, of sacerdotal, and of disciplinary authority. But, just as the Apostles exercised their power in subordination to St. Peter, so the Bishops exercise their authority in subordination to the Pope, the successor of St. Peter. And, as it was to the college of the Apostles, with St. Peter at their head ,that Christ delivered the mission for the preaching of the Gospel and the administration of the Sacraments, so it is to the body of Bishops, united to the Pope as their head, that the mission of continuing that work is delivered. •

Apart from the general authority he has when united with other Bishops in Council, a Bishop in his own diocese has certain duties to perform. He has to watch over the purity of doctrine in all schools, public and private, that teach the Roman Catholic religion, and to decide with authority as to the purity of the doctrines taught. No treatise on religious matters can be published until it has received the necessary permission from the Bishop, from one of the clergy appointed by him for that purpose. He is the guardian of the morals of his flock, both lay and ecclesiastical. In short, in the words of the Roman Pontifical, it is his duty to "judge, interpret, consecrate, ordain, offer sacrifice), baptise, and confirm." • • • • The ordination of a priest, or the consecration of a Bishop, takes place during the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. In this the Church follows the example of her Divine Founder, Who, after the Last Supper, and during the celebration of the first Mass, ordained His Apostles, giving them power over His Sacred Body and Blood, and commanding them to repeat that Divine action in commemoration of Him. A custom has come down from the Apostolic times that the Consecrating Bishop and the Bishop-Elect should fast on the day before consecration. In the Acts of the Apostles (xiii., 2 and 3) we read how, after fasting and prayer. Saul and Barnabas were selected by the Holy Ghost for the ministry of the Gospel. and were consecrated by the elders of the Church at Antioch. • • • • A s in the conferring of the other Holy Orders, the rite consists in the imposition of hands by the Ordaining Bishop and the handing by him of the instruments peculiar to the Order, to be touChed by the person about to be ordained, so, in the consecration of a Bishop, the rite consists in the imposition of hands by the Consecrating Bishop and his assistants, and in the handing to the Bishop-Elect of the Crozier. the Ring, and the Book of the Gospels. the instruments peculiar to the Order of Bishop. Besides this. Chrism is used in the consecration, as matter of the Sacrament, in anointing the head and hands of the Bishop-Elect. just as the Oil of Catechumens is used in anointing the hands of the priest at his ordination. a • • The Consecration of the Co-adjutor Archbishop-Elect will take place at St. Mary's Cathedral on Sunday.

Mass Prayer: 'Let Thy grace, we beseech Thee, 0 Lord, ever prevent and follow us, and make us continually intent upon good works." In to-day's Gospel we have a lesson from Our Divine Lord on the beauty of the virtue of humility He was a guest at the table of one of the chief of the Pharisees, and observed how the other guests sought to gratify their vanity by seeking the more important From this He places at the table. took occasion to propound a parable, describing how a man, who had acted in such a way, was forced to retire in confusion, and make way for his betters. This lesson could not have been lost on his hearers, and was confirmed by Christ's concluding words: 'Recause everyone that exalteth himself shall be humbled, and he that humbleth himself shall be axalted " From Our Lord's words we also should learn the value of humility. How often do we see worldly people making great efforts to obtain a little human glory, filled with ambition to shine above their fellows! How much more worthy it is to be content with one's station in life, and reserve one's efforts for the service of God! The Feast of Our Lady of Mercy was instituted to commemorate the foundation of an order dedicated to Our Lady under that title, and destined to procure the liberation of Christians who had 'been made captives by the Moors. This Order was founded as the result of revelations made by the Blessed Virgin to St. Peter Nolasco, St. Raymund of Penafort and James, King of Arogon. September 25.-Ferial Office and Mass. Green.

THE RECORD,

THE LITTLE FLOWER SHRINE APPEAL LAUNCHED Process of Canonisation After a brief delay for prayer and deliberation, Pope Benedict XV. fixed on Sunday, August 14, 1921, for the reading of the decree concerning the heroic virtue of Sister Therese of the Child Jesus. The decree was solemnly promulgated in the Consistorial Hall at the Vatican before a numerous and sympathetie audience. The Sovereign Pontiff en this occasion pronounced a panegyric on the Little Flower, and on the " Way of Spiritual Childhood,- which it was her mission to recall to men. The discourse produced a deep impression, and proved to be the "Nunc dirnitis" ot the august and devoted client. There still remained the searching examination of the miracles attriubted to her intercession. Out of the six cures, the records of which were submitted to Rome, two were selected for special scrutiny by the Sacred Congregation of Rites. Only two miracles are required in a Cause where so many o f the witnesses had actually known the Servant of God. The first of these miracles was wrought, as far back as the year 1906. in favour of Cnarles Anne, a native of Lisieux, aged te•entythree. He was studying for the priesthood at the diocesan seminary ef Bayeux, but was attacked in the lungs by tuberculosis and brought to death's door. His friends began a no .rena to Our Lady of Lourdes, _through the intercession of Sletil Therese. This was without succeee however ) the invalid began ant ther neeena this tune to the holy Carmelite alone, in order that the saving of his priestly vocation might be manifestly due to her intercession. Charles had always shown himself the intrepid champion of the Little Flower among the seminarists, and now he turned to her with unshaken trust in her promise: will spend my Heaven in doing good upon earth.' A fter a dreadful haemorrhage, which betokened the approach of the end. he cried out to his patroness: "I did not come here to die! 1 came to work for God! You must cure me!" Then he fell asleep, clutching a relic of the saint w hich just then came tnysteriously into his hands. When he awoke, he was perfectly cured. It is interesting to note that the superior of the seminary at that time was Father Duboscv. S.S., fermerly Professor at the Suipician Seminary in Paris, and later the holder of the distinguished office of the Promoter of the Faith in the process of the Little Flower's Canonisation. Father Anne. with the aged religious who had nursed him, assisted at the Beatification ceremony in St. Peter's, April 29. 1923. During his pilgrimage to Rome, he communicated to the writer of these lines the story of the miracle. The second cure selected was that of a nun, one of the Daughters of the Cross at Ustarritz in the south of France. Sister Louise of St. Germain had been ailing since her noviciate (1911-12), and, early in 1913. it was discovered that a terrible ulcer had f ormed in her stomach. In 1915 she was believed to be at the point of death, and the Last Sacraments were administered. A novena to Sneur Therese strengthened her to bear the heavy cross, and, from time to time. a celestial fragrance came to cheer the invalid and remind her of the mysterious presence of the Little Flower. In September, 1916, the patient sufferer began another novena.. During the night of September 10. Saint Therese appeared to her and said: "Be generous with God. I promise you, you will Q. n be cured.Next morning the floor around the bed was thicklY strewn with rose petals of various cot. How did they get there? No ours. one could explain. Sister Louise grew worse. hut was occasionally comforted 1-iY the same heavenly perfume as beThen, after a fearful crisis, she fore. slept peacefully all n:ght, and woke on the morning of September 25 completely cured. and quite able to join her community that same day. It was The certifia veritable resurrection. cate given lw her medical attendant was confirmed by an X-ray photograph and by Dr. le Bee, of Paris. the fam. ous surgeon. who wrote a remarkable paper to prove the supernatural character of the cure.

Both miracles were thoroughly discussed by the Sacred Congregation of Rites, and the verdict was recorded in the three customary ceagregations• the "Ante-preparatory," on March 7 when the votes of the Consultors were taken; the "Preparatory," on July 25 when the Cardinals and the Consultors renewed the examination; and the 'Plenary" or General Congregation, on January 30, 1923, when Consultors and Cardinals again discussed the miracles in presence of the 'Sovereign Pontiff himself. Pius XI., who had succeeded Benedict XV. on the Papal Throne, had also inhereted his wonderful devotion to the great daughter of Saint Teresa. In view of the favourable verdict, our [ holy Father promulgated on February 11, the decree approving the mire acles, and, on •March 19, the decree known as the "De tuto," formally authorising the Beatification. On the Feast of the Annunciation, March 25, the relics were removed from the cemetery to the Carmel at Lisieux. More than two hundred priests were present. at their head Mgr. Lemonnier, Bishop of Bayeux, and the Very Reverend Father Rodrigo, of St. Francis of Paula, 0.D.C., Postulator of the Cause and official delegate from the Holy See. When the vault was opened, a delicious fragrance of roses filled the air—fitting symbol of the heavenly petals which the Little Flower was By priestly about to shower down. hands the rosewood casket was lifted on to a magnificent car, and fifty thousand pilgrims escorted with all reverence the virginal remains to the Carmel whence the soul of the Saint had taken its flight to Paradise. Next day in the Convent chapel, Mgr'Lemonier again presided at a session of the ecclesiastical tribunal. After formal identification, one portion of the precious relics was deposited in the magnificent Brazilian reliquary: the other in a casket of rosewood. The first was placed in the beautiful marble shrine, underneath the Corpo Santo, or recumbent image of the Saint; the second within the Corpo Fanto itself. On April 29. 1922. the Venerable Therese of the Child .Iesus was enrolled among the Blessed, to the great joy of the whole Catholic world. It was the first Beatification by Pius XI The attendant crowds, recruited from all parts of the globe, resembled those to be seen at a great Canonisation. No one who took part in the ceremony could forget the enthitelasm of the multitude, or the great Te Deum, reserved solely for a Canonisation, and intoned on this occasion by a happy mistake. The Beatification was the signal for an outburst of enthusiasm throughout the Church. In parith, convent, and lonely mission, everywhere the joyous event was celebrated: and always the roses she loved festooned her altars. Marvellous was the harvest of grace that was reaped in the. September of 1923. At the Lisieux Carmel the feast w as held with unrivalled pomp. Cardinals came thither from Rome. from England, from America. The town w as gaily decorated on the day when her relics were borne clung its streets The flags of many nations--evert- ore an ex-voto--floated overhead. Officers and soldiers whom she had assisted in the war formed a guard of honcur around the precious remains Ti•:irty prelates and eight :ltin.lred priests formed the escort of the "Little Q ueen." while between sixty and eighty t housand pilgrims lined the route. That year-1f123--about three i.undred thousand pilgrims visited Lisieux. The number increased in the following years, for now dioceses and parishes sent their organised pilgrimages. In addition, there was always a s adis,' stream of individual pilgrims. All of these came, either seeking "roses" or returning thanks. There was no diffictfity in finding the t wo miracles required bv. Holy Church before the infallible voice of the Vicar of Christ could nroclaim the Tl'ecF.ed Therese a canonised Saint. On the very day of the Beatification, thirty remarkable favours were recorded. Two cures were soon seleezed for examine tion by the Congregation of Rites. A young Belgian girl, Mlle. Marie

Peilemans, came in a dying state to Lisieux a few days before the translaNext day, March tion of the relics. 24, at the grave of the Little Flower, she was suddenly and completely reThe case was one stored ta health. ef tuberculosis both in the lungs and in the intestines, and the disease had fur many years played havoc with het frame. The second cure was that of Sister Gabriel Trimuei, a religious of the Congregation known as the Chieppine, and living at Parma, Italy. She was suffering from arthritis in the knee, and from tuberculosis ef the spine. She had recourse to Blessed Therese during the tridutun of thanksgiving which was celebrated at the Convent in Parma after the Beatification, June, 1923 At the close of the exercises she felt an irresistible impulse to discard all artificial support, and found she could stand upright. All her infirmities had entirely disappeared. The Sacred Congregation of Rites subjected both these miracles to the usual searching scrutiny.

A. Sheehan (in The Queen's Fillet"). The simple soul, provided that it be virtuous, will find ever written in the Heart of God this maxim of Christian perfection: Blessed are the poor in wirit.—St. Francis de Sales. It is a great imperfection to complain of little evils when so many of the poor in the world endure such great misery, and have no one to whom they may even tell their necessities. Shouldst thou "stain any grievous injury or meet with some keenly felt &appointment, instead of being indignant against him who bath offended thee, lift up thine eyes to heaven and tst upon the Lord Who in His infinite and loving providence ..ath so ordained it either for the expiation of thy sins, or to destroy in thee the spirit -f pride, reducing thee to practice acts d patience and humility. . 1.1.1111111./INNINIMO,

Northam. THE MIND MUST KNOW GOD. The intelligence is tne first principle of human acts. The mind sees and judges It sees what has to be done, and it judges whether the means are proportioned to the end. I am made for God's glory; creatures are the in'trinnents put into my hands to pro. re this glory —that is the great prine'Ple. What practical obligation does tli!ss fundamental truth bind upon my rand? It hinds upon my mind the obligation of seeing God as the one es-purpose of my life; of seeing Him. I say, of having Him before my .eyes, ,„ of knowing and remembering that Ills glory is the great end which must dominate, inspire, and direct my whole "duet.—Tissot.

THE RECORD. One day, when I had been playing truant, he caught me and took me straight to church. There he made me kneel down before the altar of Our Lady and said: -.11y Good Mother, here is that scamp, I give him to you, try and do something with him if you can. As for me I consider him hopeless." His simple prayer must have been heard, for very soon afterwards I was admitted into the minor seminary. But when some years later, I told my father that I was going to Canada to become a missionary, he burst into teass and said: "All the same, I did not expect that the Blessed Virgin Mary would hear my prayer so well!" That's why, when I was appdinted Bishop. I chose as my motto: 'Sub tuum praesidium." A LITTLE GOOD. A kindly thought for those whose world is sad, A word of cheer to help them on their way, A little act of love to make them glad, Oh. these are gifts we all can give away. There's many a traveller on life's road to-day Would welcome e'en a kindly smile or nod; There's many a wanderer from the narrow way Whose inmost soul is longing for his God. If there be one who needs your comfort now Go give him all your human heart can spare; Smoothe out a wrinkle from his troubled brow, Lighten his weary load of want and care. Gladden the hearts that sorrow tends to chill, Brighten those eyes adversity would dim: Spend well your life in doing good for ill— God thinks of you, go think a while of Him. —Matthew Malone.

passed, a respectful and deWave of Jacobite Conversions procession vout silence fell upon the village—a Eucharistic Procession in Schismatic Town. His Excellency the Archbishop of Trivandrum, Mar Ivanois, has revealed in Trivandrum, India, a notable wave of conversions in his See from Jacobism to Catholicism in the course of the past few weeks, a flood in which Inas§ conversions have been the rule rather than the exception. "I have been able to win 1,000 souls within the past few weeks," the Arch. bishop himself said. There are now more than 10,000 Jacobite converts to Catholicism in this three-year-old Catholic See. Until a few weeks ago, conversions, while numerous, were largely individual, so that husbands would embrace Catholicism, leaving wives and families in Jacobism, or sons would find spiritual refuge in the Catholic Faith, while their parents and other kin would cling to Jacobism. Of late, however, the Jacobite conversion tendencies have become a mass movement. In Mavelikarai alone, the native village of Mar Ivanois, his Excellency has received 300 Jacobites into the Catholic Church, while 100 families in Kotterakarai and 130 in Kattenom, nearby villages, have embraced Catholicism within the past few weeks. His Excellency the Bishop of Timvella, Mar Theophilos, continues his work with unabated zeal and notable success. Although seriously handicapped by lack of funds, several new chapels have been opened in his vast diocese, the most prominent being that blessed by his Excellency at Koothathukilom in North Travancore. The ceremony at Koothathukilirn w as attended by more than 2,000 Catholics. The blessing of the church was followed by a four-day religious conference, at which addresses stressing the paramount importance of union with the Holy See were delivered. The climax of these functions was a 'Eucharistic Procession through the s treets of the schismatic town. As the

THE MOTHER. One day a holy anchorite was reading the parable of the Prodigal Son to his brethren, when suddenly one of the minteriected: "That story is really beautiful. and it gives a fair picture of nearly the entire family. There are the tender and merciful father, the foolish and reckless youth, and the envious elder brother. But something is wanting in the tableau. We see no mother there." .`Ah. good brother," answered the old anchorite. "if the mother of those boys had been alive at that time, the youngest,I assure vou, would probably have remained at home."

All through the hot July day the henpecked husband had trudged manfully along behind his wife, burdened with their camping kit. Towards dusk, his wife, well in front, found an ideal spot for their camp, near the edge of a towering cliff. "George," she called to her husband, - it's simply wonderful up here. Where hail we pitch our tent?" ' Over the blinking cliff!" came hubby's breathless reply. The futurist artist was visiting the home of his only patron. "By the way," said the patron, "did You. hear about the burglary that oc_Airred, here the other night?" "Did they "No," said the artist. ;et away with much?"

The boy hesitated for a moment. then his face lit up. "The elephant, teacher," he said, "is such a large animal it is scarcely ever lost." Three men had spent a day fish ing. When one of them returned home he explained his grievance to his wife. ' We agreed." he said. "that the one who caught the first fish should stand the first round of drinks for the others." "Were you the unlucky one " she interrupted. He shook his head. "Both those two fellows deliberately refused to pull their lines out of the water whenever they had a bite." he said. "What about you, then?" - she asked. "I didn't put any bait on my hook," he replied. ' Mrs. Briggs." said the new boarder, at breakfast. "who owns those ferryboats I tripped over coming down the stairs just now?" The landlady shot him a fierce look. "Ferry -boats, indeed!" she cried. "Ill have you understand they are my shoes." The boarder gulped uneasily. "I didn't. say ferry-boats," he hastily r eplied. 'I said fairy boots." * * A variety actor had been out of work Just when he was for a long time. beginning to despair of ever finding a jab, a letter arrived from South Africa asking him to go there on tour with his act. Would you advise me to take it?" he asked his friend. The latter looked vets- thoughtful. "No. Jim," he said after a bit, wouldn't go, if T were you.

"Ready right now." "An' is you gwine to pay up all yob debts?" 'Wait a minute, pahson! Yoh ain't talking religion now—yoh is talkin' bizzness!" Jefferson had something the matter with his eyes, and told such a long tale of woe about them that his friend became alarmed. "I say, old chap," the latter exclaimed, "you ought to see an optimist." Spinster: "So the waiter says to me, 'How would you like your rice?'" Friend: "Yes., dearie, go on." 'So I says, wistfully, 'Thrown at me.'" Chairman (after economy lecture): "And now, gentlemen.

Reverend Visitor: "And don't you e ver say prayers before your meals, sonny?" , Precocious Child: "Oh. no—Dad says our cook's pretty reliable!" As the doorkeeper ran down the club steps to open the car door, he .tripped and rolled down the last four steps. "For heaven's sake, be careful!" cried the club manager. "They'll think you're a member." A certain club hai replaced its familiar black-coated male staff with young and, in some cases, pretty waitresses. One day a member who had been strongly' opposed to the change arrived at the club for lunch. "How's the duck?" he asked an attractive waitress, rather gruffly. "Oh, I'm fine!" she replied, perkily. • 'And how's the old pelican himself? * In a small country town a meeting had been called to discuss the question of a brighter Sunday tor the people.

He had been warned off golf for six months owing to the state of his health. At the end of that period he presented himself for medical examination. "Heart's good," said the medical man, briefly. "Well, doctor." said the patient, per. suasively, "what about clubs?" "Let me see," said the young man, thoughtfully.
