Dr. Keefe, who ruled from 1752. to 1787, contemplated building a Cathedral and College at Tullow, County Carlow, where he mostly resided. Difficulty in obtaining a site compelled him to abandon the idea.

our in all her books, their final impression is one of sadness. George Eliot sees tragedy in the grim affair of life, and she sets it down with all the realism of her art Minor Novelists. The tragedy of life is also the staple of the novels of the Bronte sisters, Charlotte, Emily .and Anne. The lonliness and tragedy of their lives, passed in Haworth Vicarage, on the edge of the bleak, wind-swept Yorkshire moors, colours their books. Charlotte is the greatest of the three, although in none of her books does she reach the tragic intensity of Wuthering Heights. This one novel of Emily, with its sweep of tragedy and wild landscape, recalls the passionate' poetry of Byron. Charlotte's first novel, Jane Eyre. is based on her own experiences, and caused a great sensation at .oe time, because, in its bold baring of inmost thoughts and feeling. . .. was something new in fiction. Then followed Villette, mainly autobiography, dealing with the years Charlotte Bronte spent at school in Brussels. and giving a picture of the interesting M. Paul Emanuel. Her last novel. Shirley. is based on the life of her favourite sis. ter. Emily. who had just died. The tragic story of these sisters has been told by another woman novelist. Mrs. Gaskell, in her "Life of Charlotte Bronte.' Mrs. Gaskell is best known, however. by "Cranford.' a charming story of quiet life in an old-fashioned Cheshire town. In its delicacy and light humour, it. resembles Miss Mitford's "Our Village." Mrs. Gasket1 also wrote stories reflecting the dad,: side of industrial England—"Mary Barton" and "North and South"—both of which deal with industrial (Escort. tent and strikes. With the Bronte sisters and Mrs. Gaskell we are in the company of the minor novelists, whose names are legion. To mention hut a few—there are Kingsley, author of "Westward Ho!" and the social studies. "Yeast" and "Alton Locke": Charles Reade: Blackmore, author of the Exmoor romance. "Lorna Doone": Robert Louis Stevenson: George Meredith, and Thomas Hardy. the greatest modern novelist. Writers are now so numerous, and their works so varied, that a short account has a tendency to degenerate into a mere list of names and labels. Our last chapters have become scrappy. but in them we have been nearer our own times, and there will be few readers who are not already familiar with some of the writers of whom such brief mention has been made. From Chaucer to Hardy we have travelled a long road and have peeped up not a few of the by-ways. Had we paused to mention even the names of all the flowers by the wayside, we should never have reached the end of the journey. There is no such garden of literature in any language in the world as that of England. It has variety infinite, colour pole or resplendent, light and shade in every degree. All the wanderers in the garden will not be equally fond of the same flowers. but there are flowers for all. Or. if we change the picture, our literature is a long gallery of great men— the greatest men. And says Ruskin: "These are all at your choice: and life is short. . . . Will you go and gossip . . . when von may talk with queens and kings: or flatter yourself that it is with any worthy consciousness of your own claims to respect, that you jostle with the hungry and common crowd for 'entree' here, and audience there when all the while this eternal court is open to yon, with its society, wide as the world, multitudinous as its days, the chosen, and the mighty, of every place and time, Into that You may enter always: in that you may take f ellowship and rank according to your wish: from that. once entered into it, you can never be an outcast but by y our own fault by vcur aristocracy of c ompanionship there, Your own inherent aristocracy will be assuredly tested, and the motives with which vu strive to take high place in the so, ietv of the living, measured as to all the truth and sincerite that are in thee, by the place von desire to take in this company of the Dead."

"The Church once had a monopoly; she no longer has that, and people must put up with the new state of affairs, in which there is "one flock but many folds.' "—Dean Inge. Hilaire Belloc. in a copyrighted article, replies to this latest falsehood of the journalistic Dean as follows: "The Church never had a monopoly: from and includng Apostolic times she has always existed in the midst of, and combating, heresies of every sort, just as she does to -clay. There never was one flock, save the one flock in the one Field You can talk of a flock of sheep being in several folds because sheep are all of the same kind, but you cannot talk of a flock which includes not only sheep but goats, llamas, and even hippopotami. There is no common doctrine which all heretics have to accept together with Catholics. This is historically no test of what makes or does not make a Christian. A Christian only means, historically, a man who accepts a certain proportion of Catholic doctrine. He is r. Catholic if he accepts the whole of it, a heretic if he accepts only part of it. Where you choose to draw the line and say. This man is still a Christian though he accepts so very little, is entirely a matter of your private liking. If a man rejects the Trinity, the Incarnation, and a few little things of that kind, he may still be called a Christian if -you choose so to call him. "Here someone may say: 'All that is merely stating the Catholic point of view.' It is nothing of the kind: it is stating a plain historical fact, like the fact that Napoleon was defeated at Waterloo or that Julius Caesar died assassinated. This historiyai truth has nothing to do with whether the claims of the Catholic Church are true or false, whether she is a good institution or a bad one. It is a plain and true statement that there never has been such a thing in history as 'Christianity' capable of definition and recognition, but that there always has been a thing called the Church, capable of definition by its claims to Divine authority and its exclusive unity. "The motive underlying tl.is false historical statement about 'monopoly' is a desire to get people to believe that the authority of the Catholic Church was once unquestioned and has now broken down. Historically, that is simply not true: it was never unquestioned and it has never broken down."
"Why Rome Gains Converts" They were confronted at the present time by the fact that many notable literary men and others of high standing had accepted the claims of Rome, said Sir Henry Lunn—father of Mr, Arnold Lunn', the recent convert— speaking at a dinner hour service in St. Martin's Atiglican Church Birmingha.m, on "Why Rome Gains Converts." Amongst those who accepted Rome's claims, said Sir Henry, they might name G. K. Chesterton, Ronald Knox, Compton Mackenzie, Sheila Kaye Smith, Lord Iddesleigh, and the brilliant Jesuit, Martindale. The supreme attraction of Rome was summed up in that one word "authority." It was claimed that that authority was justified by an exclusive sanctity, Catholicity and continuity. They rejoiced in the long record of sanctity within the Roman communion and thanked God for the heritage received from the Saints of the uncliv*.ded Church: but the saints of the first centuries were their common heritage, and no branch of the universal Church had an exclusive claim to them WORTH A SHOT.

THE RECORD.
St Columba's, South Perth On last Sunday the balance sheet was presented to the parishioners over in South Perth, and it revealed a very satisfactory return from a year busy in parochial entertainments. It must have been a great consolation to those who shouldered their share of the parochial responsibility to hear the final figures. Those who did not help. as they could have done, may regret their inactivity, and promise better things for the coming year. The Princess Carnival brought an active year to a successful close, and the chief. credit for the year's splendid return is due to the organisers of that Carnival, for their enthusiasm won many others to the cause of the in dividual princesses.

The two balls at the Pagoda, and the children's ball, contributed their share to the finances. In South Perth we have a very willing band of workers, a faithful few, who generously undertake the worry and trouble of organising many efforts to raise money.

It is very more the as well as lesser the in teachers the of efforts the crowned important spheres of their activity.
•
The courageous stand taken by Catholics to safeguard the t eaching of religion in education resulted originally in the establishment of Parochial Primary and Secondary Schools. After the Reformation, the Church and State no longer co-operated in the matter of education. The most serious result was the separation of moral and religious training from purely intellectual education. Neither State or high school could ever be acceptable, as long as they perisisted in a purely secular system. For Catholics religion is too serious a matter to be separated from education. Any system of education which leaves out of consideration the ultimate purpose of life, is vain and useless. • • • • The Catholic Church has, therefore, been obliged on conscientious grounds, to reject the Government system, even though it meant the loss of all the advantages of free education. With little or no help from the State, it has been obliged to build and equip its own schools, rather than forsake the principles of religious training, upon which Christianity is founded. The result is that every parish in the Commonwealth has its own schools, supported entirely by the Catholic people. Although religion is recognised as the best training in citizenship. the State has never recognised religious schools at their true worth. In some countries—more liberal than Australia—parochial schools have received aid from the Government. but in most they are maintained by voluntary contributions. Such is the case with Australia. The struggle for religious Father liberty began with the very opening of our history. Therry and his faithful flock maintained the first schools opened in New South Wales. Later on the Government conceded grants to the various denominations in proportion to the number of school children ,and this scheme was later extended throughout the Commonwealth. But it did not long continue. State aid was gradually withdrawn from all the States, including Western Australia— which has had to support its own schools since 1894. The work of the Religious Orders of men and women cannot he over-rated in this respect. It is not too much to say that, without their devoted and self-sacrificing work, such a scheme would be impossible. .That they have faithfully carried out their work in the sphere of secular work, as well as religious, is beyond question, and the gratitude and congratulations of the whole Catholic .community g-o.out to them in their well-merited success.

Living With the Church
Holy Orders and Matrimony have been termed the two social Sacraments, on the ground that marriage secures good subjects for the Church, while Holy Orders provides good ministers. One is therefore as important as the other. The Church does her utmost to maintain, strengthen, and sanctify family life, for she well knows how much depends on it for time and for eternity. She lnows. too, that it can only be preserved and sanctified by the spirit of religion. A Catholic marriage is the foundation of the Catholic family, and the Catholic education of children is its end and object. • • • • There are many disruptive elements threatening the ruin of Catholic family life in modern society, and for that reason the Church has deemed it well to provide some additional sanctions in Canon Law for its preservation. Catholics may not contract marriage in a Protestant church—even though one of the parties be a Protestant. Nor may they allow any of the children to be baptised or brought up outside the Catholic Faith. In the case of mixed marriages, the parties must obtain special permission of the Church before contracting. This permission is very tardily given, and only for grave reasons—for it is recognised that such a union falls far short of the Catholic ideal of marriage. The Ne Temere Decree regarding mixed marriages will be read in all the churches to-morrow (Sunday).

The second lesson we can learn from the Gospel is the sanctity of Christian marriage. The marriage at Cana was hallowed by the presence of Our Lady, and every true Catholic marriage should be hallowed by the blessing of the Church.

The world owes many useful invention' s to the genius of those people whom a stupid writer has styled, in the une of his incoherent moments, lazy monks." The use of the fountain pen is now universal. Very few know that it is the invention of a lay Brother, Candide de Magland.

The Brother, setting himself to work, made a tiny wire tube, leaving only a small hole for the passage of the At ink' and then he inserted a pen. the other end he put a piece of cork that a piece of wire could penetrate like a piston. The fountain pen was invented. The clever Capuchin decided to take out a patent and a society was formed at Sallanches for the purpose of improving and carrying out this useful invention. A year later the Brother withdrew his patent and gave the fountain pen to the world.
THE RECORD.
Annual Teachers' Conference The Annual Teachers' Conference will open at Loreto Convent, Adelaide Terrace .on Tuesday, January 30, and conelude on Thursday. February 1st. This year's Conference will be devoted exclusively to lectures on the teaching of Christian Doctrine. Papers will be submitted by the following: Loreto Convent, Swanbotirne: Convent of Mercy, Victoria Square; Sacred Heart Convent, Highgate Hill; and Convent of Mercy, West Perth. The papers will occupy half an hour, leaving plenty of time for informal discussion.

The schools in the metropolitan area will be inspected during the months of May, June, and July by the Rev. Dr. McMahon. Some of the schools in the country will also be visited. To revive and revise the programme of Christian Doctrine is the important task of this year's Conference. It is to be hoped that all teachers of religion will attend. The Conference opens 'on a Tuesday, and concludes on a Thursday .to give our teachers on vacation, and the Sisters in the country, better opportunities to attend. At the opening day His Grace the Archbishop. accompanied by His Grace the Coadjutor Archbishop, will attend.

Midnight Mass at Subiaco Midnight Mass was celebrated at St. Subiaco, on Christmas morning, the Very Rev. Monsignor Verling, assisted by the Rev. Father Regan at Holy Communion, being the celebrant. No greater evidence of the urgent necessity of a more commodious church in our suburb could be forthcoming than the unprecedented assemblage of parishioners who had filled all parts or *he church and its environs long before the hour of midnight. The requisitioning of additional seating actommodation proved totally inadequate to cope with the vast congregation. and many disappointed late corners took comfort in the thought that. Deo volante. Midnight Mass of 1934 would be celebrated in the new church. During the hours which heralded midnight, a stream of penitents flowed in and out of the confessionals. and later were participants in the magnificent attestation of faith at Holy Communion reception., The choir, under the baton of Mr. F.

THE RECORD.
Wonderful Response to Aunt Bessy's Appeal "THE BABES IN THE To the Editor. Dear Rev. Father,— Those who live beneath the shadows of St. Mary's Cathedral, within the noise of the city's traffic, with the sight of a Cross to beckon them on, and the sound of a convent bell to hearken them, are in danger of missing the value of God's outposts in the bush. I would draw the attention of the city dwellers, and I include under this those who teach and those who are taught in Catholic schools in the metropolitan area, to a Religious Holiday School. I am. writing in a shady spot out at .Castledare, on the Canning River, where the Rev. Father Finnegan has gathered in from his flock on the Hills some 38 boys and girls, to be prepared for the Sacraments. C astledare housing "Bushies"l• acles still happen!

financial obligation, and hopes to be able to send a missionary priest on the application of the pastor. Already Religious Holiday Schools have been held at St. Joseph's Con. vent, Manjimup, where the Rev. Dr. Kiernan gathered in 65 children for two weeks' instruction: and at St. Joseph's Convent, Busselton, where the Rev. Father Langmead had 85 children in attendance at the classes during two weeks. We have now paid the usual allowance of 10s. per child per week while boarding at the convent during the Religious Holiday School. At the Moment some 38 children are in residence at Castledare; another 30 begin this week at the Convent of Mercy. Preparations are in Bridgetown.
BUSH"
Catholic Literature for the Homes. The Adoption Movement has done great things this year. In the London "Universe," the Rev. Father Martindale, S.J., wrote an article under the captivating title of "The Babes in the Bush," asking readers of "The Universe" to send their copies Out here to W A. Father Martindale prayed that "So may a cataract of Universes descend on Peith, and stream out through the West Australian Bush." His prayer has been answered, and the cataract has become an avalanche that taxes to its utmost the Baby Standard car of South Perth. which must make t wo trips to the local post office when the mail boat arrives each week.

So tradition says.) It is something to be proud of, that statement of the Busities' Balance Sheet. Our family has sent you something from the very beginning of your Appeal ,and when we reckoned up to-day we found we have given you 11/71 altogether. We mean to be just as true to you during 1934, too, as you will know ,when you get our donation this time. If 1 thought you didn't like and appreciate me, I would become very depressed and waste my money on the "Trots" every Saturday night, and I could now, too, because Dad gives me ninepence every Saturday afternoon.

Don't worry about what people saw or think of you. Take that as your New Year resolution, and you will go to confession and not to the Trots every Saturday night. "A Great Lover of the Sacred Heart" knows me. and is loyal to me, and maybe if she knew you, too, she would be just as loyal to you—that's the way things are, you know. I will pray for Nellie, but tell her I said not to buy her own engagement ring, for if she does she'll rue it. -AUNT BUSY.

Dealing with Our Lady as the Mother of Divine Grace in his Advent Pastoral, the Rt. Rev. Dr. Vaughan. Bishop of Meneyia, says:— Just as there is one blood in our veins the blood of Adam, so there is one spiritual life in our souls, the life which is Christ Jesus. As His Mother, Mary is entitled to her measure of praise, for we must not forget that she was an enlightened and willing instrument in the plan of the Incarnation, and a conscious co-operator in the de,-- igns of God.

The man who is always asking him• self, "What will people say?" betray. a weak mind. Do what is right in the sight of God, and let people say what they like. You cannot whip faults out of a child any more than you can whip good qualities or knowledge into it. People sometimes speak of "feminine virtues," but any virtue which beits and adorns a woman is equally becoming in a man. Because a boy refuses to fight, or to heave bricks through people's windows. it does not follow that he is a milksop Manliness consists in selfrestraint, and not in letting one's self go. Ultimately all education is self -education. The best teacher in the world cannot dispense the student from making continuous mental effort to digest and assimilate his lessons. You will experience far more of the sunny side of life than of the dark side, if you hold the happiness of others in as great esteem as your own. It is when fighting against heavy odds that a man gives the best account of himself. Men of strong character are never ferori (44. ous. hut murteous and restrain-
-Not only was Mary the Mother of Jesus Christ, but the Mother made as w orthy of her vocation by Grace as human nature could be made. She was the Mother full of faith. 'Blessed art thou that last believed' (Luke, 45). St. 'Elizabeth cried out to her with joy. She does not merely say 'Blessed art thou that hast conceived,' but 'that hast believed, 'and there is revealed the deeper charm of Mary. "Not only did she love her Son, but she adored Him as her God. She believed, and her faith shows forth the measure of Grace in her soul. "Our Lord Himself stressed the importance of Mary's Faith when He answered the woman in the crowd whose praise we have just quoted: 'Yes, rather 1:1,Iessed are they who hear the word of God and keep it' (Luke, xi., 28). and when He pointed out that her claim to be His Mother was made fully valid and worthy because she did the will of His Father that is in heaven' (Matt.. xii., 50). 'Mary who had said: 'Behold the Handmaid of the Lord' so readily was surely the best example of those who do the will of God."
