From the Heart of Rome HOLY I lly the Rev. Father T. L. Dunphy. C.SS.R.i (The writer of this article, who is at present studying in Rome, is a son of Mr. Dunphy, of Dunphy, Dwyer and Durack, of Perth. He belongs to a distinguished family—three of which are members of the legal profession. Father Dunphy read a distinguished course and won the gold medal in Literature during his last year at C.B.C.) It is a strange thing—that so-called a ssociation of ideas. To how many the name of some person, place or country calls up a vision of happiness. or perchance sadness, which, experienced in the long ago, had apparently fall. €n into complete oblivion. There are few places on earth which compel this faculty of association more completely than the city of Rome. Mention the name to one of our more violent Protestant countryman, and you will notice that the association to which he r eacts, is one combining notions of the Scarlet Woman, Pope Joan, Alexander VT., and Galileo! Speak of Rome to a devout Catholic and his mind flies to t he thought of the Successor of St. Peter the blood of the martyrs, and the Faith of the Catacombs, and the never -failing promise of Christ to he with us all days!

REV. FATHER T. L. DUNPHY, One walks the streets and sees groups of sombrely clad people making towards the great Basilicas, as often as not preceded by the Sign of Redemption. One lingers in the Colosseum and gazes on devout groups venerating the soil that once glistened with the life blood of the Roman martyrs. In the narrow winditigs of the Catacombs one hears the chant of processions with the "Te rogamus audi nosof prayer ringing eerily through darkened passages; and each morning there come priests to offer the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass on the spot where the great Pontiffs of the early Church long since chanted their "Pax Vobis." while

In the four Major Basilica • there are scenes that can never be for gotten. Here one olimpses the Catholi -its: of the Church and hears the babel of many tongues. There passes a grea•.

One remember the great Mass of Easter tinday and the thrilling moment of t he Consecration when foro thousand people bowed in adoration io St Peter's while the Vicar of Christ arol His Lord stood face to face over the relics of the Prince of the Apostles. Not a sound wae there: onle the clash of naked

swa-'ds leaping to swift salute and the thriaing sound of the silver trumpets filling the dome of Michaelangelo with harmony, as the white Host and glittered chalice were raised for the adoration of the children of men. And who can forget the scene in the sun soaked Piazra. when 300.000 people knelt for the blessing of the Common Father, and then filled the air with tumultuous Evvivas! One is somewhat confused at first to see this mixture of devotion and physical excitement: but that does not last long There is something in the Roman crowd that draws the most obdurate: and few there are who do not yield to the sight of waving ribbons, handkerchiefs and hats to loin the great chorus of adulation. Yet there is one moment more precious. T think, than these: when the Pilgrim feels that he has truly _come Home. It is when he enters the Vatican for the Pilgrimage visit to the Holy Father: when he kneels to kiss the•hand of the Vicar of Christ: when he hears the voice of that chosen one welcoming his children to his hen-. and blessing his dearest projects an most cherished hopes. That is a moment too deep for words: and when at last the pilgrim turns towards his FatI,erland and the city of the Tiber vanishes in the blue distances of the rampagna. there remains one mem. impressed deep in his heart—the remembrance of a white-clad figure stand frig amid Ore halls of the Vatican. with the right hand raised in blessing and th( %olds of grace tailing in gent) tones "Benedicat vos Otnnipotens Den- -Pater et Filius et Spiritus Sancti,? r1 the Pilgrim's heart sings a fers-en,

"The Eternal Priesthood" The following occasional sermon was delivered by Rev. Father F. Ryan, at the ordination of Rev. Cyril Stinson, by the Most Rev. Dr. Prendiville, Coadjutor Archbishop, at St. Mary's Church, Kalgoorlie, on the 17th. inst.:— May it please Your Grace,— The function which we have witnessed this morning is an ancient one. It dates back to Apostolic times—to days when Our Lord, about to leave His Apostles, put His hands on their heads saying, "Receive ye the Holy Ghost, w hose sins you forgive, they are forgiven them," and changing bread into His Body, gave them power to do likewise, when he said, "You are the salt of the earth; you are the light of the world. Teach all nations , baptising them in the name of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost."

bles to pieces. As pagan Plato said: 'He who destroys religion overthrows the foundations of human society." No matter what you put in its place, no culture, however universal or profound, is sufficient of itself to make virtuous men. The Church wars on irreligious education, and to the eternal problems, "Whence do we come, where do we go?" unfalteringly replies: "You are the felect of God. From Him you have your being; to Him you are destined to return, it during life you kept the CommandHe sent you His Son, model ments. Christ instituted Your life on His. His Church, the Sacraments, and His priesthood to help you."

They are all needed. To-day there is a thousand million pagans still waiting for the light of Christianity. A missionary in India wrote home: 'Send me half a million priests; there is abundant work here for them." This morning's function has a special significance, apart from the solemnity of this ancient rite, added to the eminence of the dignity conferred. It means that the Church in her magnificent democracy has seen fit to consecrate another of your young men to her service, and our mew beloved Archbishop, in his affection for the Goldfields people decided to perform this function here, the first in the history of Kalgoorlie. Your Grace, permit me on behalf of Goldfields Catholics to thank you for this kindly gesture, which they take as

a propitious sign of your benign regard for them, and of your recognition of their loyalty in the past as a happy omen for the future, when the ties of affection between pastor and people shall, by the grace of the omnipotent God, grow stronger and stronger in unity of the spirit, and in the bondsthe of peace. Dear Father Stinson, the aspiration of years is.fulfilled, the crowning of long preparation has come. Student days are often anxious ones at times, full of grave misgivings. No doubt you felt your courage sink, and your resolution waver, when you thought of the immense responsibilities. But all that is ended, you have heard Christ's words to His Apostles: ''You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen In the long years of college, you were sustained by God's grace. In times of sorrow and care, remember the consolation garnered in the holy precincts of the seminary. Trials there will be, for -ordination does not destroy human nature, but there will be consolations, too. You belong to a glorious Empire. whose ramparts encompass not a nation but the world. Though born in this inland city of our island Continent, you speak the same language as your confreres in every part of the globe. As ambassador of Christ, you can trace your lineage farther than the proudest families— it is no new invention of this great mechanical age. nor is it a reform of troubled mediaeval times; it has seen Empires rise and fall, its age is the age of. civilisation. The ideals to which you aspire are t he grandest. the noblest, that could be devised. Yee eeek not the plaudits of a fickle eeUic. nor the emoluments of worldly success: your aim is to make Christ known and loved. You long to see His peace universally reign— peace of heart, peace of mind, individual, political, industrial peace. And Christ, since this can be found you pray that He may soon become King of men's hearts and king in the minds of mere Father Stinson, may on be blessed the sacerdotal order. Whether your lot is to be one of great oinquest of souls for Christ, or a long labouring with little fruit, may ou. however, hear at last those c heering words, "Well done." Almighty Ce el. look down with love on Thy priest. Fill him with zeal, keep unstained his anointed hands: keep unsoiled his lips purpled with Thy precious Blood: keep plire and unworldly a heart sealed with the sublime marks of Thy glorious priestood; bless his labours with abundaret fruit, and may those to whom he labours on earth, he one day his joy and console tion in heaven. Amen. ii

I never put these down; many and many a line has gone away en the north wind, but some remain. e.g.: "A full sea glazed with muffled moonlight."

THE RECORD.

Youth is Master of the Future orld League of Catholic Girls W Says the Holy Father.

YOUTHS' RESPONSE TO CALL OF Information, encouragement, and inspiration 'will be obtained by the reader from the following extracts from an article in "The Catholic Gazette," by a writer who does not give her name but only the somewhat clumsy description of 'Vice-President of the Catholic Women's League Junior League of England." The writer sets out to give an account of the response made by Catholic girls to the Holy Father's call for Catholic action, and says: Catacombs History Repeated in Mexico To-day. "In Italy we are five hundred thou. sand strong. grouped into seven thousand Sections of Juniors; in Belgium, despite severe difficulties of two languages—French and Flemish—and grouping difficulties, yet one united Junior front has been achieved numbering istsssix thogsand. In Mexico. it was actually during the persecution that the Junior League was started. There in the face of terrible happenings, the girls longed to 'be up and doing, but they were told that the really heroic thing for them to do was 'sit down and And with almost every imstudy.' pulse urging them the other way, they were yet sufficiently heroic to meet every morning at nine o'clock and study their religion. and Our Lord was with them in a little wooden tabernacle hidden away for fear of discovery by the persecutors. 'Then at twelve a priest—of course in disguise—would get through and give those girls Holy Communion. Thus was the Junior League started in Mexico. where one child was truly privileged to become the extended arm of the Clergy, being entrusted to carry Our Blessed Lord, three hundred Hosts, for a day and a night, and it was not tin she had safely given up her Sacred Burden that she was caught. Surely, too, the sufferings of Spain will serve to intensify the zeal and courage of its Junior League: while our Polish Juniors on the very edge of antiGod territory are building up spiritual ramparts to safeguard the Faith. !Other countries, whose Junior forces are banded together with these into one In ternational Union, are Argentine. Austria, Brazil, Canada. Chili. England, France, 'Germany, Hungary. and Poi.tugal. Three Million Members. Altogether -we number three million Juniors of fifteen nation. organised and.ready to lay- the force of our organisation at the service of the Church, sectionally under our Spiritual Advisers, diocesanlv under our Bishops, nationally under our Cardinals, and internationally under our Holy Father the Pope. We are banded together internationally in our "Section des Jeunes," which is a sub-division of the "Union Internationale des Ligues Feminines Catholiques," which numbers twenty-five million women of twenty-eight nations, to whom we owe many a grateful "thank you" for generously giving a helping hand to bring Youth forward. It was eight years ago, in a little teashop in Rome. that .1.tini'or Representatives of four countries met—Austria, B elgium, England, and France—and there discussed possible plans for an international union of their national Leagues, plans which are being se splendndly realised to-day. T he following year, 1926, they met at L uxemburg. Constitutions having been drawn up and approved by Rome. the "Section des . Jeunes" was formally established as an integral part of the International Union. Fa&ing the deChristianisation in the world. the various Representives undertook to study. e ach in her own country, the same question: "Does our Youth live up to its responsibilities ac firmed Members of Baptised and Conthe Church?"

HOLY FATHER.

All that our Holy Father must have suffered in the cause of Catholic Ac' tion during that terrible period will probably never be fully realised by us, and we cannot be too grateful for his paternal care of the organisation It was in Poland that plans were made for national studies based on the encyclical, "Christian Education of Youth." from the aspect of recresaon such as books, sports, etc.—and the following year a small Congress was held at Lucerne on these studies, which are still being continued and will be summed up at our Congress in Rome in 1934. On the Road to Raul& One interesting piece of concerted Junior action might well be recorded here. A woman from the Orient was studying social problems in Europe, and—presumably through the clever international network of Bolshevism—was travelling to Russia to acquire information of their social order (or rather 'disorder). As she passed •through Europe from France onwards, she was put in touch by our International Junior Union with Juniors in each country, and shown social remedies and alleviations from an essentially Catholic aspect. Thus, as she came through France, she was met by our French Juniors—in Belgium it was our Belgian Juniors who greeted her and showed her Catholic works of charity and mercy—again in Germany our German Juniors were there to help her—and in Poland our Polish Juniors acted as her escorts to Catholic work, all of which greatly impressed her, showing her where true social reform lay. At the frontier between Poland and Russia we could go no farther, hut w... left her in better Hands than ours and. later, when writing to our International Junior President, she expressed her admiration for all she had seen of Catholic devotion and self-sacrifice, then added that just during those five days she had beets in Russia she had been ill and so had not been able to see their methods! . . . dings of Work. Three Each Sectior has its own government, that. is, its own Committee. and its own general meetings for its membership. Under the guidance of the Spiritual Adviser, it is seen what work is best needed and what is best suited to the capabilities of the Juniors: the programme of each Section should include activities in the three following spheres: Religious, such as General Holy Comriunion, retreats, catechism. and pilgrimages: "Intellectual." such as study circles, lectures, and debates; "Social." such as visiting the sick, working for the poor, club work. bazaars, and theatricals. . . . Ent Only One Aim. Our aim will remain the same whether the work required of us is very spiritual, such as catechising or very material in appearance. such as getting up bazaars and entertainments. Every member should always keep her aim well before her, for we are not just a blind force sweeping across the world, we have a very definite aim—a glorious ideal : "The Reign of Christ Our King" in our own souls individually, in our families, our homes, our schools. factories, clubs. etc.. in professional and civic life, throughout all human society and in every nation—the "Universal Reign of Christ Our King." We need the help of every girl who is proud to he Catholic, to help us form one united front to face the destroying hurricanes, that while these others pitch themselves forward with their heads down. closing out God, we ma:: go forward with our heads up and our eyes on God and His principles. That while they try to destroy family life we may build up Christian homes—that while they seek to paganise everyone, everything, we may try to Christianise everyone, everything—that while they advocate indecency in dress, we may Christian modesty — while instil they seek to tear up religion and destrov it. we may guard it and hold it up for all to see."

Speaking to the pilgrimage of the Association of Catholic Youth of Germany (Katholischer Jungmaennerverband), in an audience recently, the Holy Father said he was delighted to have the German Catholic youths with him, especially at this moment of so much historical importance for Gern any, and not only of historical importance, but also a moment so difficult. They understood well his feelings.

A rousing welcome was ,given by members of the local Catholic Tennis Association at the Central Railway Sta. tion, on Monday last, to the first contingent of Eastern States' representatives for the interstate carnival of the Stare section of the Australian Lawn Tennis Association.

French Ex-Servicemen at Lourdes FAMOUS GENERAL PRAYS FOR Fifteen thousand French ex-Servicemen, led by the famous General de Castelnau. made a pilgrimage to Lourdes last month, and prayed to Our Lady to petition God to secure world peace.

Cardinal Lienart, in cappa magna, accompanied by a procession which included a number of old soldiers in. wheel-chairs, approached the altar. The pilgrims, with tricolours waving over their heads, took up their places. and soon the space in front of the Rosary Basilica, normally deserted in the months when pilgrimages are few, was black with a pressing throng of men. General de Castelnau addressed the pagrims through a microphone. "We come here." he said, -to ask. the Divine Mercy, through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin, to spare us from the horror of bloody tragtdies and social convulsions. "We ask the Divine Mercy to give us old warriors, us old soldiers, true courage for all'the tasks of the future, whatever those tasks may be.

Mgr. Gerlier, Bishop ,of Lourdes, addressing the assembly, said they ought to pray for all those who died in the war. "To our dear dead of Lourdes," he we join all the dead of our c ountry, soldiers and sailors. "And we shall not separate from that recollection the thought of thc.., other dead, under whatever flag they fell, so long as they fell in the loyal a ccomplishment of an heroic du ty."

On the esplanade, Cardinal Lienart, in an address which loud-speakers carried to all parts of the gathering, said: "Delegates and survivors of the Generation of Fire: The Catholic exsoldiers of France have more than others the duty of asking God, without whom nothing durable nor solid can be constructed ,to assure prosperity and happiness to our country, and peace to the world. 'Let us ask this in the name of the Crucified Jesus, offering Him the sacrifices of all our dead ,and the accumulated suffering of all the soldiers." The wounded, mutilated ar,d sick pilgrims were blessed with the Blessed Sacrament by Mgr. Esquerre, Prefect Apostolic of Bobo-Dioulasso, Africa. All the vast concourse sang the Tantum Ergo, and the Sacred Host was raised in blessing above them. Then Mgr. Gerlier bade them farewell. Most of them soon after set out for home.

The Old and the New Year

•

This number of "The Record" brings us into the last days oi 1933. In a day or two more we shall be on the threshold of the new year. Nineteen-thirty-three will have passed from us into the Sea of Time, leaving us memories weighted with many happenings coloured with bright lights and with drab and grey. our thoughts will be racing onwards with speculations as to the future, and turning back awhile in review of what has been and what might have been. And just as nature has fashioned us, whether on the selfish or the generous plan, we will set to counting our losses and our gains. Well for us if we can extract from the year that is slipping from us compensations to balance our disappointments and failures. Well for us, indeed, if we can, at the end of our review, rejoice in the consciousness of haying no regrets, that we have been of some service to God and country and mankind, with such assurance we may look without regret at the passing of 1933 ,and hope for the best from 1934. • • The year that is passing leaves behind no very ugly record of strife. In a measure it has been a fairly peaceful year. Politica1 tumults there have been, and outbreaks, but these only show that universal Peace, which good men strive for, is a remote ideal se long as men and nations feed themselves on the philosophy of selfishness and the deceits of materialism. At the back of all the unrest of to-day, political, social, and industrial, lies the grinning ogre of selfishness. If there were more comradeship in the world, more justice, mercy and charity, there would be less cause for defence Capital and Labour systems, and less reason for armaments. would pull together in the common harness of friendship. Communism would not spell mischief, and Socialism be running from one vicious extreme to another extreme equally vicious. It is because the principles of justice, mercy and charity are being abused by individuals and governments that world peace is to-day a luminous unreality and a splendid dream. "The world to-day,", said a commentator oft economics. recently, "is richer than ever it was, vet 100,000,000 of people are living in a state of uncertainty and of d-esmodern society's disregard titution." Why? It is because of of Christian principles in their dealings one with another, and it is primarily because of that vicious spirit of selfishness which dominates world affairs that one wonders what the new year will bring. • • The only hope there is for a dethronement of selfishness is the ultimate defeat of that philosophy of materialism which nations. such as Russia, Germany, and Mexico are preaching and practising. These nations are a real menace to world peace. They seek to destroy all belief in the supernatural, and to create a society without a Against these enemies of the spiritual the Catholic Church soul. is in conflict. What will the new year bring for her? "She alone is likely," said a non-Catholic of high position recently. "to save the world from the chaos that is now threatening all countries." In the mission field the Church is gaining ground. A new realm of Christendom is growing in the Congo. The foreign mission field, though harassed by tribulations, owing to depressed economic conditions. shows progress in the spheres of reliMany consolations spring from the number gion and education. The Congo of conversions that are constantly being registered. counts a million Catholics, and conversions have reached over a hundred thousand a Year. In the troubled mission field of China. the Irish missionaries report great progress. Catholic educationists are doing splendid work for the advancement of ('rod's kingdom. The Fathers of the Divine Word direct the destinies of the Peking University. which counts more than tim e hundred enrolments for the current scholastic vear. This great University has a teaching personnel of 130 professors, lecturers, and assistants. Not a fifth of the students enrolled are Catholics, but the association of the Fathers with the institution is working for a better undersanding of the Church's educational efforts for the spread of Christian ethics in Chinese education. The efforts of Catholic missionaries in the field of education in foreign lands have had many consoling responses. though it is true they have had many setbacks. due to the world-wide economic depression, hut the sum total of their service shows a wonderful advance against paganism. • • • • The recent general elections in Spain give cause for encouragement, and the hope that that great Catholic country will return tc. settled Government and industrial and social peace. The extremists who forged the revolution for their sinister ends have wrought undoubtedly ugly wounds on Spanish nationalism, and thrown the country into a chaotic state. hut Catholic Action has awakened the national spirit from the stupor which befel it after the fall of the Monarchy, and we tray hope to see in the new year the Spanish nation's return to a Constitutionalism in keeping with its ideals Throughout Australia, at the close of the year. it is pleasant tc record that industrial peace is unbroken, and that better days seem to he opening for the whole body of industry. The Christmas season was a bright one, the shadows of the depression are passing, and certainly the outlook for 1934 is very hopeful. Wise counsels in the Parliaments of the Commonwealth may do much to dissipate whatever reactions might arise to prolong the depressed state of industry. and generosity on the part of Capital and Labour make Hoping for the best, we liszhter the burden of unemployment. 1933. and welcome in thc year. dying the over curtain the !raw 1934. n

December 31.-Sunday within the OcSemi-doutave of the Nativity. ble, White. Mass proper. Creed. 2, St. Sylvester, Pope and Martyr. 3, Octave. Mass Prayer: 'Almighty and everlastng God, direct our actions according to Thy good pleasure; that in the name of Thy beloved Son we may deserve to abound in good works." In the Epistle (Galat., c.h. 4), St. Paul speaks of our destiny as sons of God by adoption. -And when the fulness of time was come, God sent His Son, that He might redeem them who were under the law; 'that we might receive the adoption of sons." Through Our Lord we are heirs to the Kingdom of God. The Gospel tells the story of the e vents which took place in the Temple on the occasion of the Presentation of The aged Simeon the Infant Jesus blessed the Child and His Mother, and foretold the sorrows of the Blessed Virgin. He also spoke of the Child's destiny as Redeemer, and his testimony was confirmed by that of the prophetess Anna, who "spoke of Him to all that looked for the redemption of Israel." January 1.-Feast of the Circumcision. White. Double of 2nd. Class. Mass proper Creed. This feast commemorates the solemn rite of the Circumcision, ordained by The Gospel of the day, the Law. which is taken from St. Luke (ch. 2, v. 21). tells the story of the Circumcision n a few words. "After eight days were accomplished that the child should be circumcised, His name was called Jesus. which was called by the angel ' before He was conceived in the womb." To both the Blessed Virgin and St. Joseph it had been revealed that the Child was to receive this name, because He was destined to he the Saviour of the world. Mass Prayer: '0 God, who by the fruitful virginity of Blissed Mary. bath given to mankind thog4t•wards of eternal salvation; grant, we beseech Thee. that we may experience her interceion for us. through whom we have been made worthy to receive the Author of Life. Jesue Christ, Thy Son Our Lord." .Tanuary 2.-Feast of the Holy Name. Double of 2nd. Class. White. Mass proper. 2, Octave of St. Stephen. Creed. The Feast of the Holy Name HIlows naturally on that of the Circurnrieion. and in fact the Gospel is the same as that of the latter feast. The other variable parts of the Mass 211 contain references to the Holy Name. The Introit is composed of the im mortal words of St. Paul: 'In the Name of Jesns, let every knee bend of those that are in heaven, on earth, and under the earth, and let every tongue confess that the Lord Testis Christ is in th-glory of God the Father." r anuary 3.-Octave Day of St lohn the Apostle.

It is ,zienificant that the impious Herod ordered the death of all children who were of the age of two years and tinder in order to make sure that the 'Infant Testis would be among them. The Gospel tells us the familiar r0-prriyal of the Wise Men, their inter:N.1cm- with Herod, and the end of the cutest. and their adoration of the Child. They then returned to their own coml. try, and the Scriptures tell us no more of them. but many like them have been brought to knew Chtiet and to revere His majesty.

The Pope and German Youth

Women at Boxing Matches

The Path of Safety.

Pope's Strong Words of Disapproval.

His Holiness the Pope, in an address last month to a pilgrimage of young people from Germany, said:—

The presence of women at the championship fight between Primo Camera and Paoline Uzcudun, in Rome. has been denounced by the Pope. He was speaking in connection with the impending creation of three new women saints, and condemned the participation of women in any sport "of a violent nature." The example of the women about to be canonised was much needed in the world to-day, His Holiness said. '`In these days," he continued. "invitations are extended to and, alas accepted by young Christian girls to attend exhibitions of force and even of violence, in which it is impossible to preserve not only modesty, but even the dignity and grace, which are God's gifts to woman." The reference is to the Carnera-LizcuBoxing is a form of sport dun fight which the Vatican deplores, and the Pope was shocked to hear that many w omen were present at the spectacle. The Holy See condemns the particination of women in all sports of violence, including such events as jumping and javelin or discus throwing. Running and gymnastics are not condemned, unless they are made the occasion for unseemly exhibitions. The Pope also denounced the Immcdest costumes" often worn by women taking part in sport. He recalled the example of St. Perpetua, an early Christian martyr, who was thrown to a wild bull in the arena. Although repeatedly tossed and gored by the animal. Perpetua. during her last moments, was concerned not about her wounds, but about wrapping her torn clothing round herself s as not to offend r Icset,

''We are filled with anxiety and apprehension for the future of Catholic youth in Germany, and for the future of religion in Germany as well. But, nevertheless, We are hopeful, both by temperament and by volition, and We believe that all will be well in the end. We exhort yott to watch and to pray and to work. Be vigilant." The future, His Holiness went on, lies with youth. All that will happen in the future will be done by the youth of to-day. They must remain calm, for every trust must be placed in the infinite goodness of God. our Redeemer—our Redeemer Who has redeemed the world. Who sacrificed Himself so generously for us. will be always with us. In following in His footsteps and imploring His aid youth will always proceed in safety.

He performed his sacred duties up to a week previous ,and was to have opened a sale of work under the auspices of the Strabane Confraternity of the Children of Mary a few days before, local charities. The sad news in aid of his death was received with profound regret by all creeds and classes. The deceased pastor was a son of the late Mr. Aryan O'Doherty. Glebe He went to St. House, Glonmany. Patrick's College. Maynooth. in 1866, and was ordained in April. 1872. He ministered at Terrnonamonagan, the He Cathedral. Derry. Carndonagh was appointed pastor of Strabane in 1907.

"Intolerable Bureaucracy ", The Rev. Father Keane, S.J., prefect of studies at St. Ignatius' College, Riverview. Sydney. at the annual speech (lay, said it was time Catholics reacted more strongly against the intolerable bureaucracy under which secondary schools were conducted. The final remedy, he considered, was to get Ca. tholic colleges completely clear of all interference, and to put an end to the dominant influence of the State in deciding what subject matter should be taught and what should be taught "We want full liberty to about it. train the young Catholic generation in the true and expanding traditions of Catholic culture," he declared. Father Keane said history masters had had to follow a course mapped out for them by someone who seemed to think the intelligence of teachers of the kindergarten type. He complained that a text hook by Professor Roberts contained matter offensive to Catholics "I protest against the travesty of the mediaeval system being forced on Catholie and other children, and against the libels on the Catholic system of philcsophv and education." said Father Keane. "So long as Professor Roberts is examiner, I recommend Catholic candidates to omit any question bearing on the Church. This puts the Catholic candidate at a disadvantage by limiting his choice of ouestions. hut it is no use pretending that we are easy in mind about the examiner."

This means that everyone must do the best that in him lies. One thing that all can do, which is most necessary and at the same time most easy and most powerful, is to pray. No one can say "I cannot pray. Al] can do it To him who prays God has promised everything without reserve. "Ask and you shall receive." But, His Holiness added, watch and pray, and watching is action, is labour .is diligence, is care. Diligent activity is the best watching in this life.

Nothing could be more impressive than to hear the Creed well chanted at the tomb of St. Peter. One pilgrimage follows another in quick succession; even the great basilicas are sometimes filled. People stream intc St. Peter's and up the Vatican - teps in long processions. More than ever one feels oneself in the centre of the Catholic world, one of the great brotherhood of the Faith, heir to the apostles and martyrs, and joint heir with Christ. This manifestation of the solidarity of faith is a source of strength amidst the dangers of the times and against the assaults made upon the Church by her enemies. It w as not without good reason that the Holy Father wished to bring the whole Christian world this year to the feet of Peter, and to secury the prayers of the whole of Christendom for the welfare of the Church. Pope Pius has aged, is perhaps somewhat worn out with the endless audiences and functions, but is still a mar vel of strength and energy. What a thrill passed through all present when Christ's Vicar, upon whose shoulders rests the burthen of the world, came noiselessly into that silent room, where a little group was waiting for his blessing. The Pope passed silently along the waves of emotion breaking over human hearts. The touching of a hand, the kissing of a ring a passing moment of time, yet weighted eith meaning and not to be forgotten, and this because of thc spell cast by Faith's mystery.

How I Killed Half the Cats in Nulato (By Rev. T. Cunningham, S J.) If Moral Theologians were discussing the question of killing cats, they would apply the principle of indifferent act and double effect. Killing a cat is in itself an indifferent act. In a city where they are numerous and where they keep the populace awake at night, it would be a good and charitable action to kill a few, but in Nulato, Alaska, where there were only two; I committed at least a grave material crime against charity, justice and the common good by killing one.

In Alaska there are extremely few cats. In a trip of one thousand miles down the Yukon river I saw only five. At Tanana there was one; at Nulato, four hundred miles below Tanana, there were two; and at Holy Cross, six hundred miles further on. the other two. From Holy Cross to the mouth of the Yukon, a distance of five hundred miles. there were no cats in any of the villages. During a trip of eighBEST OF OOMFORT AND ATTENTION. ALWAYS T teen hundred miles, on the tributaries amNINNI of the Yukon and the coast of the Behring Sea, I saw no cats at all. A native in one of the villages spoke of having seen one some years previously; but it must have since died—probably from loneliness. The Alaskan children have seen Polar bears, wolves, seals and dogs galore, but no cats. The Eskimo child has rarely experienced that exciting TARIFF fun of throwing the cat up in the air Daily Served Luncheons to see if it will always land on its four Speola Bus ass Men's T. C.

As a result of this scarcity, a village owning a cat takes a great pride in itself. It has a certain prestige over all the other villages. It has also this Owing to eT.pi •0 of lease in Murray-street, our business is still added attraction, to draw tourists and its the chabite Coffee Palace, Wellington-street, opposite I, carried so stimulate local trade—and the EsCetterail woo S cu.

sympathy and promised to do his best. For three days no cat showed up. On the fourth day it was at its usual place on the fence. The miner himself came along during the day with a shot-gun under his arm. He had taken the pellets out of four cartridges, and substituted rock salt. He asked me to shoot the cat with these special cartridges a few times during the day, saying that the noise of the explosion plus the sting of the salt would discourage the visits. At the first shot, the cat ran However, at full speed for home. when he saw that be suffered no injury, he returned. At the second shot he jumped down off the post. At the third he stood up and arched his back a little: and at the fourth he merely blinked his eyes and looked at me with a bored expression on his face. It became obvious that something heavier end stronger than rock salt would have to be used.. That evening we found an old bird gun in the village. The cartridge contained only six pellets. We took out three of these, put rock salt in their plac-2, and once more to the front! At the miner's special request I chased the cat in the direction of home first. He and then pulled the trigger. s creeched in the most painful way, ran thirty yards t9wards the river, fell over the bank. and lay still about a foot florn the water's edge. Hoping that I had merely stunned him or at most destroyed only one of his nine lives. I took him home and put him in the shed. When after a few hoursI came, expecting to find him full of life, he w as cold and stiff! I broke the news to the prospector as gently as I could. After all he had approved of the cartridge used. His cat was the offender; and besides, I argued. no good healthy cat would die from a shot of three pellets and three pieces of salt. The natives never fully iorgave me. I will always be known in Nulato as '-the one who killed the They have a speprospector's cat." cial word for it in their own language.
