This was succeeded by a humorous item, "The Paying Guest." It centred on the experience of a society lady, a Mrs. Loveday, well represented by Miss M. Doherty, and a supposed lunatic, Miss .Hardcastle, the paying guest, who was ably personated by Miss C. Crawford. Misses Winnie Hartzer, Connie Spring, and G. Brennan aff orded much amusement by the humorous ways they depicted the characters they portrayed. An old song "Nellie Grey," was sung melodiously by the boys, and this was followed by a rhythmical display of ribbon drill by the jun:or girls. The Sailors' Hornpipe was spiritedly and accurately danced by a number of senior girls. A junior playette, '`fhe Nursery Floor,' depicting the midnight frolic of toys brought to a close the first part of the programme.

On Thursday, November 30th., a very enjoyable evening was spent by a large and appreciative audience in the Convent School, Greenbushee. when the pupils, who adapted their talents to the various items. provided a vaPied and entertaining programme, which proved to be a credit to all concerned. Misses G. Brennan and D. Angus opened the concert with' the delightful rendering of a pianoforte duet, "Good Luck Galop," and this was followed by a French Reel, which was epritely danced by the juniors. "When Irish Eyes are Smiling" was a very alluring melody. when played by Master G. Washbourne and Misses B. Watherspoon and E. Brennan en the violin, and being ably accompanied by Miss G.

THE SPIRIT AND AIMS OF THE GRAIL. One of the most striking phenomena of the day is the growth of Youth Movements throughout the world. Some are political. some religious, and some avowedly anti-religious, and some avowedly anti-Christian. But whatever their aim they have one quality in common—abounding zest On a Sunday afternoon recently at the Albert Hall, London, the English public made acquaintance for the first time with a new form of dramatic expression and with a religious movement among girls of which few people in that country were aware. The occasion was the performance by what is known as "The Grail" of the fifteenth eentery morality play "Everyman." The novelty of the production was the dramatis personae, represented not by individuals but by groups. Mwesed movements and a wonderful combination of colour and lighting were made to serve symbolic ends, and most remarkable of all, such solemn liturgical canticles as the 'Vies Irae" interpreted in dance. The performance of plays on these linos is but one of the activities of Recently, in the Grail movement. Holland, some thousands of girls took The first step was part in a play. taken in this direction on All Hallewe'en in 1930 in ,Arns-terdam. when OM members of the Grail walked in silence along the banks of the eanals, each girl bearing a brightly-coloured lantern or a lighted torch and praying in her heart that she might ever shine out AR a light to the world. In the laen throe years the idea of the All Saints' procession has spread to many towns and villages of Holland. The Grail is a .movement among Cathelic girie, whose one aim and purpose ie that they may invoke a new spirit eacrifice and Christian Love. of self. eurre.nder and humility, to counteract the growing force of pagan sensuality and mid disbelief. At its heart the Grail is a religious order, the professed members of which after twei and a half- years' noviciate, take the eustomary vows of poverty, At chastity and abeiltite obedience. present there are something over a hundred Filch Ladies of the Congregation. as ,they are called, scattered over some five and twenty houses. In their noviciate they wear a religions habit, but outside they are dress. ed in the prevailing fashion of the day. They mix freely in the world. Once a month they return for a whole day to the Mother house: one month in each year is spent there, and one year in every six.

The Grail House has the amenities of a clitb, and is a centre for sports, even ing classes, and a variety of recreational and cultural pursuits. The atmosphere is, of course. strongly Catholic, and the idea is that the members belonging to a liberty-loving, life. enjoying age shall have eyery opportunotv for initiative.

Mastcr j. t4aAle an admirable census taker, while Miss Joan Doherty kept the audience rocking with laughter by the ridiculous way she answered the eeneus taker's questions, among other things, insisting upon counting all the hens, turkeye, parrots and dogs as member sof the family. A song. "God Bless Our Lovely Morning Land." was sung harmoniously by a chorus. A pianoforte solo, "Poppies," by Miss Stella Parrish, showed g7,—• F and technique. Then came the , and finale. a Cantata, entitled the "gutter. fly Queen," which provided a unique wo-diand scene for the Fairy Queen, Miss M. Doherty and her train. Jack Davis acted his part well as the Ogre as did Miss Connie Spring at Dame Snuffy. The scouts, imps, fairies, performed excellently the parts allotted to them. Misses Lorna and Clarice Crawford sang sweetly, especially the latter, who held the audience enthra. led by her voice. In her role as Queen. Miss M. Doherty sang a solo very beautifully. The singing of the National Anthem brought the pea gramme to a close. With untirine zeal. Miss Patricia Jones filled the part as pianist, throughout the evening.

On Wednesday, December 6. a "wind-up" concert, by the scholars, was given in the Convent Ballroom. It was quite an "eleventh-hour" thought, and less than a week was spent on its Preparation. Its high standard, however, and especially the wide range of items presenterd, surprised even the most exacting critic. Orchestral items, V ocal and instrumental solos, action songs, and several dialogues, kept an aPpreciative audience in raptures for well over two hours. The acting of the children in these dialogues was a revelation. and some clever talent has now been unearthed. We are looking forwrd ato even bigger things next Year. Although the concert had on1. nne clay's advertising, there was splendid audience. Both children and adults enjoyed dancing until midnight Mass 'Time Table. Sunday. Dec. 24: 8.30. Clackline; 10.30.

Western Australia), commencing at 9.30 a.m. each day. A cordial invitation is extended to all members and their friends to attend. It is the presence ot a crowd of enthusiastic spectators which keys up the players and helps them to give of their best. There will be no charge for admission to the courts, and lunch and afternoon tea will be obtainable. The committee is deeply; indebted to the Kings Park Club for making its courts available for the Carnival. Apart from the beautiful surroundings, the courts themselves are excellent, and the fact that they have been ranked with the world's best by international exponents of the game. will be pointed out to our yiistors with pardonable pride.

Happy Xmas and a

Prosperous New Year I.N.F. Smoke Social

The First Crib

On Monday night last, the Irish National Foresters held a combined Christmas social at Keough's Hall. Members from the Perth, Fremantle, and Goldfields Branches met for a pleasant reunion, prior to the conclusion of the Society's work for the pear. The attendance, owing. perhaps, to the temperature, which was rather trying indoors. accounted for the absence of many familiar faces, but, notwithstanding, a very enjoyable evening resulted. The programme was essentially one for an evening arnOng Irishmen. Pro. Power presided, in the absence of the Chief Ranger, and was the pianist for the evening. The programme opened with "Ireland." a toast drunk with enthusiasm. 'Br. . Ginivan sang very nicely "Far O'er the Sea There's a Little Green Island." and the company rendered an effective chorus. Mr. M. Eustace gave a recitation, which wal. well received. The toast of "The Visitors" followed, and was proposed by Mr. Tim Davidson. Mr. Pat Hegney put into song Moore's melody. "Believe me if all those endearing young charms," and was well applauded for his effort. Responses to the toast of 'The Visitors" followed. Bro. Anthony Dwyer. with characteristic spirit. contributed an old Irish song. which roused the humour of the company, and old heads went nodding in approval. Bro. Arthur O'Keeffe and Bro. O'Hara, both of whom have completed 35 years of membership in the order, received certificates. The toast of "Special Guests of the Evening" (the 1)1d-age members), was proposed in an excellent speech by Bro. W. Hegney. and responded to by 2ro. J. Hegney, senr. The memory of Michael Dwyer the Rebel Trish Chief. was revived by Bro. R. Walsh in a re. citation which was enthusiastically rereiyed. A humorous item by Mr. M .Eustace. added to the joy of the evening. The hands of the clock moved too rapidly for the happy spirits of the (Tatherinz.

"Let 111 love the Babe of Bethlehem.-St. Francis. , Devotion to the Divine Infant in the Crib is a Franciscan devotion. St. Francis first practised it and obtained from Hoebrius III. a special periniesion for its establishment. "It happened in the third year before his death." says St. Bonaventure, "that in order to excite the inhabitants of Gredo to commemorate the Nativity of the Infant Jesus with great devotion, he determined to keep it with all possible P.olerrin• ity. . . . He prepared a manger .and brought hay, and an ox, and an ass, to the place appointed. The Friars were summoned the people flocked i and the forest resounded with their hymns of praise. The Man of God stood be. fore the manger, full of devotion and piety, bathed. in tears and radiant with joy. Mass was solemnly celebrated, and the Gospel was sung by St. Francis, the Servite of•Christ. Then he preached to the people on the birth of the poor King, and being unable to utter His name, for the tenderness of his love, he called Him -The Bate of Bethlehem.' , A certain knight affirmed that he beheld in the manger an infant mar. vellously beautiful ,whom the Seraphic St. Francis embraced very tenderly The hay of this manger, being preseree ed by the people, miraculously cured all diseases of cattle and many other pc rtilences. .*; "Nothing is more capable of inflam• ing.our souls with love and confidence in the Divine goodness than the mysteries of the Divine infancy."—St. Bonaventure.

Peace Thoughts The spirit of this Holy Season is l'eace. The early morning anthem of the angelic choir, which broadcasted the Birth of the Divine Infant, finds yet, after the passing of age-, a lingering echo in the imagination uf mankind. Never has that anthem been forIts regotten through the varying stage; of human progress. membrance has made literature. The most beautiful contributions of human genius have sprung from the humble Manger of BethleSaints have found etherial visions in dreamed of cadences hem. of that old, old song. Medieaval poets and troubadours could find no better theme for their sagas and numbers than Noel, the little unwelcotned Son of God. Noel! Noel! rings down the ages, over every changing scene and clime, bringing with it a sweet atmosphere that spreads contentment and peace wherever Belief, in Him as the Messiah exists. Christendom is no small compound, though materialist quid nuncs tell us that the Star of Bethlehem has ceased to be of historic interest to a world, that time is burying old traditions beneath the discoveries of science and the researches of t he archaeologist and historian.. Modernists, who will go no farther in accepting the authenticity of the Incarnation than their human reason, will allow endeavour to discredit this mystery of the Christian Church. though on the flimsiest evidence they accept the findings of so-calred scientists in matters that have confounded the wisdom of some of the greatest of the world's savants. *•

The thinkers of the nations, deep down in their hearts, love beauty, and though in the crush and vulgar hurry of business there may be distractions and attractions to bind men to the wheel of every-day duty and lure them into mundane excitements, a spiritual yearning is ever accompanying them, and their eyes look beyond their view of the commonplace for the vision splendid, where beauty. peace. contentment, and the soul spiritualised rests in the near splendour of the Creator of all things. Back of the fog and madness of modern worldliness, with its incidental extrayagances, and its stupid banalities, there rise s the eternal riddle of the Creation. Man in his sober moments wants to know the whither of his life. Ln the closing (lays of 1933. our thoughts are carried back in a re sew of the happenings of the year. We see no outstanding event that strikingly evidences progress in the great work of International Peace, towards which, since the Great War. the hest minds of stateHuman nature, it would seem, is not craft have been turned. tuned to peace, and so during this year that is now running out its length, the drums of war have not been silent, human lives have been thrown to the Moloch of strife, and national enmities are being perpetuated.

THE RECORD.

Saturday, December 23,

1933,

Coadjutor Archbishop's Visit to the Goldfields SPLENDID WELCOME His Grace the Coadjutor Archbishop of Perth, Most Rev. Dr. Prendiville, arrived in Kalgoorlie on Thursday last, to pay his first episcopal visit to the Goldfields, and to ordain to the priesthood Rev. Cyril Stinson, who was born and bred among the people here. Elaborate preparations had been made to give His Grace a truly Goldfields welcome, and long before the express arrived crowds on foot and per motor were wending their way to the railway station and to St. Mary's. On his arrival, Most Rev. Dr. Prendiville was welcomed by Very Rey. Dr. Kennedy, Adm., Rev. Father Ryan, Rev. Father Cunningham, Rey. Brother Walsh, and by prominent laymen At the exit from of the Goldfields. the station, His Grace, who was accompanied by Monsignor Fagan. V.F., passed through the ranks of a guard of honour formed by the boys from the Christian Brothers' College. and then A boarded the waiting motor car. procession of more than forty motor cars, all decorated in the Papal white and yellow, was formed, and then left the station amid scenes of enthusiasm which was the Gnldfields first testimony of their love and respect for their newly consecrated Archbishop. Further scenes of enthusiasm were witnessed as His Grace approached St. Mary's. The girls from our various convent schools had been assembled in the spacious grounds of the church, and the approach of His Grace was the signal for a burst of cheering, followed by the song of welcome and good wishes, "Viyat Pastor Bonus." which was extremely well rendered. As Most Rev. Dr Prendiville entered the sacred precincts of St. Mary's. after passing through the girls' guard of honour, the choir greeted him with the "Erce Sacerdos Magnus." A few minutes were spent in prayer, and then Dr. Kennedy addressed His Grace on behalf of Goldfields Catholics. Dr. Kennedy said the function was necessarily short, but he could not let the occasion pass without giving voice to the deep joy in the hearts of all that day. The word welcome was often used lightly, but it was a word with a wealth of meaning, and on this day he uttered it intending to convey to His Grace its fullest and deepest significance on behalf of priests and people. He would conclude his welcome with the request that His Grace might bestow the Apostolic Blessing on the gathering. Dr. Prendiville expressed his gratitude for the expression of welcome. They welcomed him in his capacity of Coadjutor Archbishop and representative of their revered pastor. Dr. ("lune. He himself could not claim the honour of having worked among the goldfields people, but he knew them by r epute to be golden hearted. generous, ;oval and deeply religious Dr. Chine had always held the people of the goldfields in the highest esteem. First irnpressions were invariably lasting and his was a most favourable one. His mission to the goldfields was to raise to the priesthood a native of these 'fields, one who was held in the highest esteem here and one who had served on that very altar. This would be his (the speaker's) first ordination ceremony, and by a peculiar coiecid. ence it was also the first ordination ceremony to he held here He trusted the coincidence would be a good omen of the bond between the people of the goldfields and himself. His Grace then pronounced the Episcopal blessing and the congregation dispersed COMPLIMENTA RY CONCERT. To give all Catholics an opportunity of welcoming His Grace Most Rev. Dr. Prendiville, the committee arranged a welcome concert in the Kalgoorlie Town Hall. The first part of the programme consisted of items by students of the Catholic schools, and the second of speeches of welcome, of the Presentation of an address of welcome, and of His Grace's reply.

Father Cunningham, Rev, Father Ryan. Rev Father Cullen, Rev. Brother Walsh, Messrs. P. J. Russell. J. Cummins. R. Bovlen, N. Francis, S. Hill, A. Boylee and Doctors Byrne and Smith, proceedThe advent 'Of His ed to the stage. Grace on the floor of the house was the occasion for great applause. a welcome which continued until his arrival on the stage. Dr. Kennedy occupied the chair, and expressed his pleasure in uttering the first words of welcome, and hoped His Grace's visit would live long in his Catholics were pleased to memory. join in the congratulations which had been heaped on His Grace and he assured him that, though he miglo tee perience more elaborate welcomes more wonderful concerts, nowhere would the feelings in the hearts of his people be more true or more sincere. Dr. Kennedy then called on Mr. P. .1. Russell to present the address of welcome to His Grace. Mr. P. J. Russell prefaced the presee tation with a few reminiscences dating to the early days of St. Mary's. and then resod the address: "The Most Rev. R. Prendiville. "Coadjutor Archbishop of Perth. "Prom the Catholics of the Goldfields. ' May it please Your Grace,— "We. the Catholics of the Goldfields, take this opportunity to add our sinrerest congratulations to the many tendered to You since your cnnsecration, and to felicitate you on the honour conferred on you by the Holy See. "We rejoice that one well known to us was deemed. worthy of such an esAlted and responsible office. "On this, the occasion of your first epi5copal visit to us, we hasten to convey to Your Grace our pleasure in welcoming you to the Goldfields, and to assure you of our loyalty and affection. "We beg you to accept this address as an assurance, of our good wishes and prayers that yours may be a long and fruitful ministry in the Archdiocese. and we would also ask you to convey to our beloved Chief Pastor, Archbishop Chine, our fervent hopes and prayers that His Grace. now relieved of much of the burden he has borne for nearly a quarter of a century. will be long spared to rule the Archdiocese. ' Signed on behalf of the Catholics o f the Goldfields: "E. Kennedy. Mm.: P. J Russell. Robt. Beylen. E. Paulev, James Shees han." Rev Brother Walsh then extended to His Grace the welcome of the Brothers and boys of the College. He was pleased of this opportunity to convey the Brothers' congratulations. and could assure His Grace that they would inculcate loyalty and devotion to him in their boys. Messrs Boylen, Cummins, Francis, Hill and Dr. Byrne also supporte 1 the previous speakers. His Grace's Reply. His Grace. on rising to respond, ee loudly applauded. and the app'anse wa• sustained for several minutes. TT'• Grace began: "This mornin r T had an on )arttini-‘v of experiencing e real geldae'ds reel come. T swe welcome, be eause yon have a jusrfiable reputation free !seine, big and generoes in everythiees you de. You do th'ngs like no ott er people can Had you shown no other sign of your affection, loyalty and respect towards me, I would have carried away with me golden impressions of this gelded area. But. as I stand before this magnificent auliensa tonight, having listened to your addo of welcome, to the flattering rem passerl,bv tie speakers on yoor be ai - , must confess that I am ov( rwh:.qmed by your extraordinary and wholehearted welcome. With al! the sin cerity I can command I thank You for the eulogistic remarks that have been passed; I thank you for the gen. e mits gift on the occasion of my son secration. Continuing. His Grace sai-i that was pleased to be able to rliev.- r,r Chine of some of his responsibilities,

and expressed the wish on his own be, half and on ours, "that time will deal very kindly with him, nad that, Providence will grant him length of years." He realised the. responsibilities of his new position, and would expect nowhere more fidelity, generosity and loyalty than from the people of Kalgoorlie and Boulder. After thanking the organisers of and contributors. to the programme, His Grace concluded: "Once again, my sincere gratitude to each and to all. I shall always treasure the memory of this enthusiastic welcome, and I feel confident that ...he kindliest of relations will always exist eetween "cu and me." Following the complimentary concert of welcome, His Grace was entertained at an informal reception by the Mayor of Kalgoorlie in the Mayor's parlour There, many reefrences were made to the good qualities of the guest of honour. The speakers in, chided the Mayor of Boulder, Mr. W. F. Croath, and Messrs Pauley and Mack Dillon. WELCOME AT BOULDER. Most Rev. Dr. Prendiville, Coadjutor Archbishop of Perth. met and was informally welcomed by a large gathering, representative of the Catholic cornmunitv of Boulder, in St Mary's School Hall. on the 15th. inst. The Chairman, Mr. J. Sheehan, welcomed His Grace and was supported by Mr. Francis. Three representatives of the Cathcs He Young Men's Society, Messrs. Lowry, Ardagh and Morris, added to the words (.f welcome. In a short address, Dr. Prendiville thanked the people for the enthusiastic manner in which he had been received, adding that he could not allow the opportunity to meet the parishioners of Boulder pass when he was on the 'fields. Referring to the expressed desire of the Catholic community of Bout der for a resident priest, His Grace explained that Boulder had not been thus deprived because it was considered unworthy, but because there was utmost difficulty in finding a man to fill the position. In recent years death had taken its toll in the Catholic priesthood ,and at present they were short of priests. He promised that when the opportunity arrived the miatter would receive earnest consideration. Dr. Prendiville spoke praisitielv of the newly formed Catholic Young Men's Society, an organisation which he hoped would increase in membership as the years passed and become a spiritual benefit to the community of Boulder He congratulated Father Ryan. whose inspiration it was that had sown the seed of the society. A musical programme was arraipa-.: which helped to make a very pleasurable evening. A stirring overture from the orchestra was followed by a much appreciated song by Mrs. Morgan and Mr. F. Ardagh, in which their voices blended beautifully Miss Amy Dyke pleased with her ability on the violin, while Mr. Jim Kenys proved to an attentive audience that he•was no mean pianist. After the close of the programme His Grace mingled with the people and met them personally. On Sunday morning, His Grace presided and preached at the ten o'clock Mass in Boulder. and at the evening devotions in Kalgoorlie preached and imparted the Apostolic Benediction. His Grace took his departure from the Goldfields by Monday evening's e xpress

ORDINATION CEREMONY. Sunday, December 17, 1933, will ever rank as a day of foremost importance in the chronicles of St. Mary's, for on the Third Sunday of Advent, in Centenary year, His Grace Most this Rev Dr. Prendiville raised to the Rev. Father Stinson, whose priesthood career has been so keenly followed by Goldfields Catholics, and whose ordination has been a long-awaited joy. It was ire Grace's first ordination, and by a s trange coincidence, the first such mony at which most goldfielders cerewere privileged to assist. Many accommodation, Catholics bent on obtaining were seated within the church long be., fore six o'clock, when the first Mass of the day was celebrated. At severe standing room was all that remained. Special arrangements had been made for the convenience of the Christian Brothers, for the Sisters, and for the relatives and close friends. The ''Ecce Sacerdos" proclaimed the arrival of the procession which, after leaving the Presbytery, had proceeded down Brookman-street, and through a guard of honour composed of members of the H.A.C.B.S. and C.Y.M.S. His Grace, preceded by the clergy, the ordinand. acolytes, and crossbeams, passed up the centre aisle, blessing the congregation, and so to the Sanctuary. His Grace was assisted by Very Rey. Monsignor Fagan, V.F., and Very Rev. Dr. Kennedy, and having vested, began the Mass to the Tract and Sequence. Then followed the call to the .1-dinand, the address to clergy- and people, and the admonition to the ordinand. Then Rev. Mr. Stinson ais proached the altar, and there remained prostrated during the Litany of the Saints. After the litany the ordinand rose, genuflected, and His Grace, standing before the faldstool ,silently .laid hands on the head of the candidate The Preface having been recited the Archbishop placed the stole on the ordinand with the words, "Receive the yoke of the Lord, for His yoke Is sweet and His burden light" and gave hixr the Chasubie witL the worth "Receh-e the priestly vestment, by which charity is signified: for God is able to increase w k.., in thee charity and a perfect The choir then intoned the sacred s trains of the "Veni Creator," and at its conclosion carne the anointing of hands, which were then tied with white linen, and then .came the candidate to receive the essence of the Priesthood. t he power to offer sacrifice, with the touching of the chalice, the paten, and the Host, and with the sacred words Receive thou the power of offering sacrifice to God, and of celebrating Maas, as well .foi the living as for the dead, in the name of the Lord." From the Offertory to the end of the Mass the newly ordained repeated word for word with the consecrating Arch' bishop, and was co-consecrator with His Gr a ce, After having received the Sacred Species, the newly ordained priest made the profession of Faith, contained ir t he Apostles' ( 'reed, and then kneeling before his Archbishop received the power "to forgive and to retain sins The ordinand, with chasuble unfolded, made the solemn promise of obedience, and received the Pax and listened tr, t he final admonition. Tht „Lass was then concluded by His Grace. An eloquent and moving sermon was then preached be Rev Father Ryan and the historic ceremony concluded.

Boulder Convent Concert In the Boulder Town Hall on Wednesday, December 6, the children of All Hallows' School presented a concert that equalled any that has .been performed for the entertainment of a Goldfields' audience. The children were assited in some items by ex-students, who thus manifested their loyalty to the Sisters of St. Joseph and to the cause of Catholic education.

A.Mus.A., and Phyllis Morton, A.T.C.L., A.Mus.A. At the final examination of the University, held last month, Miss Elsie Halligan. daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. Halligan, for very many years resident on the Goldfields, and remembered for their many efforts on behalf of our schools, completed her studies for the Miss Halligan received B A. degree. her primary and seccridary education at the St. John of God's Convent School, Kalgoorlie, from where she matriculated in 1930 at the early age of sixteen. She was in fact too young to enrol at the University, but special permission was granted in her case. After three years' reading at the University, she has now culminated a successful career by gaining her degree in the minimum of time, having as her major subjects English, French and German. Congratulations to Miss E. Halligan, B.A., and to her early teachers who laid the foundations for such a sue, ssful career.

Amongst those present were Very Rev, Dr. Kennedy, Rev. Fathers Ryan and Cullen, Rev, Brothers Walsh, Quilligan. McBride and Murphy, and the Mayor of Boulder, Mr. W. Coath.

(An Old Lady Goes to Bethlehem).

To the Children at Presentation Convent, Collie, A 13ushie of Fifty Years Ago and numerous other donors of old stamps, among whom special mention must be made of Her Highness Princess Elizabeth of Cork, who tile first week after a dangerous illness, called to the office with an envelope full of the treasures with the information that they were all attached to envelopes received from Buckingham Palace. Not liking to tell her straight out that I did not credit her statement, I hinted that letters of loyalty were generally exempt from stamp tax, but she assures me that King George and Queen Mary are so keen on the Bushies' Scheme that they stamp their letters in order to help it and me, so things are not as had as they might be at home or °broad

I'm going on to Bethlehem, And who shall say me nay? I'll walk it through the black o' night, Tho' it's a longish way. I'll don no flimsy falderals, But my bonnet and my shawl, As my mothei did before me, When she went to pay a call. I have no gifts to bring with me, No frankincense or myrrh, The likes o' me can't offer much To either Him or Her. Hasn't She the biggest Treasure That two human arms can hold? So I'll leave it to the grand folk To present their bits of gold. I've been talking 'to a shepherd, Who's just come from where I go, He was drying off his sheepskin And shaking off the snow His two eyes were nearly popping From their sockets in his face, A t the glory and the wonder That is in the stable place I'm moidhered what to say to Him Because T know He's God. I'll make up a few sentences As on the road I plod. Indeed I won't! why should I? Won't I say all, an' to spare. When I kiss His little hands and feet, And the softness of His hair? Whist now! I can see the lantern Showing amber 'gainst the hill, And I can hear the singing Like an echo trembling still: And I can see the Lovely Babe Upon His Mother's knee, And I know that He is watching out Just foi the likes o' me. I've fastened up my wee house, With its furniture and delf, And more power to my courage, And my blessings on myself. Although I'M an old lady, I've got in before the dawn, And I'll kneel forninst St. Joseph, Where Our Lady's Jewel is horn. —AUNT BESSY. MY CORNERITES,— I wish you all a very Holy and Happy Christmas, and since the Corner is a great place for birthdays, I trust that each of us, in our own best way, will keep the Birthday of Our Lord and King. Let us wish Him His Birthday. The Lord who was once a helpless Babe must love the anniversary of the day when first He came to earth, and as fervent Catholics, it behoves us to join forces with 'His Immaculate Mother, Saint Joseph. and the angels and saints who honour Him on this day, rather than to make ourselves one with the commercialism, materialism, and all those other "isms," whose main object is to kill the Divine Babe's influence on souls, and which are striving to turn the old-time holy festival of Christmas into one of the ordinary public holidays that occur throughout the year. Once there was an almost palpable spirit of loving and joyous unity about the preparations for keeping Christmas Day. and we ,had time to set aside for the purchase and posting off of cards or letters of greeting that they were not unthought of. but now we excuse our carelessness in these, as gave our absent ones an assurance that in other matters, by saving rather solemnly that "Christmas is dying out" when, all the time, we ourselves are helping to beat the little flame out of the mystic candle that was lighted to give a token of Welcome to the Little White Light of the World. However, this is my letter of greeting to you all for the Holy Season, and I promise you ray heart's most grateful remembrance a t the Crib of the Infant Jesus. He, no less than any earthly King, will have Birthday Honours for those who have specially honoured Him, and Ris Empire, hut I will not recommend any of my soldiers for titles. v:.ice they are transitory things. 1 v.

A West Australian in Rome

The following extract from a lettee written by Miss Winnie Dwyer, who is touring abroad, gives an account oi her visit to Rome:— We had 180 people on our pilgrimage, which was under the spiritual leadership of Rev, Father Earley, a young priest well acquainted with Rome. On Tuesday, 12th. September, we set out in high spirits, but a sudden downpour of rain and a very bad crossing from Newhaven to Dieppe soon damped our joy. We had to sleep, or try to sleep, on the train that night. At midnight on Wednesday we arrived in Rome, and it was well after two o'clock before we got into bed. However, we were up early for Mass. The Church was not far away, and we got there in good time. I could hardly realise that I was actually attending Mass in Rome itself, and I often found my thoughts wandering back to the dear old Sacred Heart Church of Highgate. Thursday was a free day, and so the four of us, Miss Grave, her two nieces, and myself. decided that we would try and get some of our jubilee finished for we were very ambitious and wanted to do two jubilees. A jubilee consists of three visits to each of the four Basilicas, and saying certain prayers before four different altars in each Basilica. This takes ages, because, first of all, you have to consult a piece of paper as to what prayers are to be said, and then you must find out the altars meptioned. There was no trouble when we were with the pilgrims, because Father Earley knew all the churches. but it was rather awkward when we were by ourselves.

but we went down only to the second. On our way back from the cats, combs we went into the Church of St. Cecilia, where the body of the Saint is buried under the altar. This church is built on the spot where the house of St. Cecilia stood, and we were shown the bathroom where the Saint was almost drowned. We next visited the Gesu, the most important of the Jesuit churches in Rome. It is not a very large church. but it is remarkably rich both in decorations and relics of the great Saints of the Order of the Society of Jesus. The altar where St. Ignatius is buried is said to be the richest in Rome, while just opposite is another wonderful altar w here the arm of St.Francis Xavier rats. It was evening when we reach. ed the Gesu, so it was not possible to see very well, but as all the tombs, pictures and statues are lighted up they showed beautifully in the half dusk Our next halting place was the Church of St. Ignatius. This also belongs to the Jesuits. and St Aloysius and St John Berchmans are buried under two very beautiful altars. The Church is rich in memories of these and other saints. It is richly decorated, most of the work being done Iw one of the members, of the Society. On Friday we started our Jubilee with the pilgrims, and went first to St. John Lateran and afterwards to the Scala Sancta These are the mar ble stairs which led up to Pilate's house, and on them are the marks of t he drops of blood which dropped from the head of Our Saviour when He descended crowned with thornt No

A PANORAMIC VIEW OF ROME. The first Basilica that we visited was St. Mary Major, the most important church of Our Lady in ?Rome. It was very beautiful, and the first thing that strikes the eye is the ceiling, which is richly carved and inlaid with gold mosaic, and, instead of being arched or vaulted, is flat but very high. In some of the Roman churches little stained glass is used, statues, carving. paintings, mosaics, etc., being used for decorative purposes. Under the altar of the "Confession.' or Crypt. Chapel lies the body of St. Mathias, and a relic of the Holy Manger is preserved above the altar. When we visited the Basilica with the pilgrims we were shown the incorrupt body of Pius V. St. Jerome is buried in this Basilica, but we were not shown his tomb. From St. Mary Major we walked to St. John Lateran, the Pope's Cathedral. which, of all the churches of the Eternal City and of the world, ranks first in dignity. It even takes precedence of St. Peter's. St. Peter's is. of course the larger. and St. Paul's outside the Walls, is even grander, but neither is so important as St. John Lateran. This Basilica is rich in carvings and statues, and the floor is of a wonderful mosaic design. Under the "Confession" is the portable table used 1-1St. Peter and the first Popes of the Catacombs. The heads of SS. Peter . and Paul are enshrined above the altat The Sacred Table used at the Last Supper is preserved above the altar of the Blessed Sacrament. and the bodies of saints are entombed in different parts Of the Pasilicas. During the afternoon all the nilgrims were taken to the Collose.eurn Judging 1w this and ether ruins. Rome must have been a maenificent city even thousands of s-ears ago. From the Colosseum we went t,o the catacombs of St. Calixtus, walked through the most important part, the Chapel of the Popes. and passed the place where the incorrupt body of St. Cecilia was found. The length of these catacombs is six. teen rnile,, and there are eight floor .

one may are iii thc stairs except on his knees. In the afternoon we made our visits to St. Mary Major and then we were taken to the Sancta Croce.. which is a church erected by St. Helena in honA large relic our of the Holy Cross. of the True Cross the Holy Inscription, one of the Sacred Nails, two of the Thorns, and the finger of St. Thomas are shown in this church. The floor of the Chapel of St. Helena is covered with earth from Calvary, and no women is allowed to enter the Chapel. but during the Holy Year the ban is lifted, so we made the most of the privilege. On Saturday morning we visited St. Paul's, outside the Walls. We spent a long time making our Jubilee there, because it is such a distance from the doors to the altars, about four hundred feet, if not more. St. Paul's is very impressive, more so than St. Peter's in some ways. It seems to be just a joust o f gigantic granite columns. The rocf is woodwork. richly carved and gilded while the walls are covered with costly marble. On the walls there is a mosaic of every Pope from the time of St. Peter. When every space for these mosaics is filled the world. eeeording to an ancient prophecy, is to come to an end. I counted sixteen empty spaces. St. Paul is buried eerier the High Altar and his chains, as 'roll many other relics, are shown in a little Chapel. When old St. Paul's w:is burnt in 1S23, m any shrines and monuments were destroyed, and the places can no longer he identified. From St. Paul's we we.rc: taken out to the Tre F-ntane which is said to be the place ret,err St Paul was beheaded. During the afternoon we went to St The appreach to the Gre it Basilica is made through on irnniernw square su rrounded he two semi-eircte lar colonnades.

Church of Santa Maria del Popolo, where Martin Luther said his last Mass before his open rupture with the Church. From the Piazza del Popolo we went to the Chapel of Bones. It is really the burial ground of the Capuchins. We went down into some underground Chapels, where all the walls were decoraterl with the bones of dead monks In one Chapel there are at least four thousand skulls. Some of the skeletons are dressed in their habits, and one even had the remains of a beard. A special soil is brought from Jerusalem. and the monks are buried in it. There is something in the soil which preserves the bones for a very great length of In reality, T do not like the time. idea very much. It does seem some. what gruesome to dissect people and decorate chapels with their bones. A fter looking round the church we w alked along to see the Father General of the Redemptorists, who gave us each firei class relic of St. Alphonsus de Ligouri, and we all went back to the hotel in high spirits. Monday, the day for our Audience dawned wet and dull. We set out f ' the Vatican about 10.45, and arrived at 11.15, but it was 2.30 p.m. before we saw the Holy Father. Everyone had to be dressed in black —in fact we all looked like black ghosts except for out faces and hands. The Holy Father came at last, and spoke for about ten minutes, after which Father Earley gave a translation. I was very much inepres.se‘l by the kindliness and gradells manner of the Holy Father. All the pilgrims gave three cheers, which seemed to me a rather unusual procedure. However. I joined in with the rest Another English pilgrimage was present besides ours. We had quite a good opportunity of studying the dress if the Swiss Guards. The costume was designed by Michael Angelo and has suffered no modern alteration which, perhaps, makes it all the more picturesque. Blue, gold and red stripes on a very rich material

A temperance enthusiast was concluding his address. "Friends," he said, "I have lived here all my life. In this town there are fifty public-houses, and I am proud to say that I have never been in one of them." From the back of the hall came the question: "And which one is that?"

She asked the dignified man numerous questions, played with his watch-chain, and endeavoured to determine by means of the buttons on his waistcoat whether he was rich man. poor man, beggar man, or thief.

Also, the company's servants may not accept gratuities. Ycu have already broken one of these rules." A harassed-looking man entered a gramophone shop and inquired for some modern light music, preferably dance records. "Very well, sir," said the assistant. "I understand perfectly. By the way, didn't you buy some records of operatic music here last week?" "That's right." said the customer, miserably; "hut my wife doesn't care for them—she wants something really snappy. The assistant took dcni, a number from the shelves. "Have you had 'Seven Y. ars with the Wrong Woman'?" sked, naming a p)pular number "No, twelve!" snapped the customer. "But what's that got to do with you?" A minister, during an address, said: 'In every blade of grass there is a cermon." The following day, one of his congregation found him mowing the lawn. "Well, sir," he said, "I'm glad to sec You engaged in cutting your sermoro, short!" "Do you know anything 'about Mars?" asked a professor of a student. "Yes." was the reply.
