The cause of the beatification and canonisation of Dr. Ncech was opened by the Cardinal Archbishop of Milan, in response to the petitions of thousands of Catholics of 01 professions and callings, and Italy hopes to see it crowned with success.
Denis M. O'Riordan. On July 12, 1928, at the age of eighty, Denis O'Riordan died in San Francisco, USA., after looking at death for months with the Christian fortitude and patience that had been his during his long life. A devout Cathol1c, and a man of culture and distinct' on, the influence of Denis Matthew O'Riordan in his many spheres of life was one of the props of the Church in California when she most wanted faithful friends.

Ludwig Necchi, M.D. On January 14, 1930, Ludovico Necchi, M.D., Franciscan Tertiary, possessor of the Cross Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice, given to him by Leo XIII., as a sign of merits to the Church and ot the title of Commendatore given him by the King of Italy for services to the State, passed away in Milan at the age of 54, after a life of virtue that shed lustre on his profesion.

Wallace. Secretary noticed. Henrywith more time at his Agriculture, of developed more fully the ideas disposal,sketched by Mr. Roosevelt. In merely his talk, after defining rethe course of ligion as "the force which governs the men in their inmost hearts attitude of and toward their fellowGod oward t men," he said: "The Catholic Church, dealing with this force. said in effect that the minds and hearts of men are best attuned to God and humanity through the continual celebration of the Mass by specially ordained priests; whose duty it is also to receive and distribute alms." How true this is, probably even Mr. He Wallace was not himself aware. did. however, later "wonder." after laving the error of laissez-faire to Protestantism. "if the religion we shall need during the next hundred years will not have much more in common with the Christianity of the second and third centuries or possibly even with that of the Middle Ages than with the Protestantism of the past one hundred years." . The precise characteristic of the second and third centuries of Christianity. and of the Middle Ages, was, as Father Ellard demonstrates historically in "Chastion Life and' Worship." the "Mass. The precise characteristic of Protestantism. especially in England. was its rejection of the Mass. "It is the Mass that matters." was a slogan on which both Catholic and Protestant agreed. For the Mass is much more than merely the form of worship peculiar to Catholics. It is the .- .entre and source of all spiritual, of all supernatural, life In one supreme sense it may be said to be the centre and source of all life— human and sub-human, the life of the universe itself. St Paul, of course is our authority for the deeper, mystical theology of the oneness of all thngr in Christ. In his first letter to +lie Corinthians (iii.. 22-3), he says to

St. Paul .indeed ,is always telling us that all things come to us from God by Christ and through Christ; and that in Christ all things "consist," that is, are kept in being. To the Colossians he wrote (i, 16-17): For in him (in Christ) All things were created, In heaven and on earth, Visibile and invisible, . . . All things were created By him and in him; And he is before all, And in him all things consist. And to make sure that he is talking of Christ, he has just before that reminded us (v. 14) that "in him we have, through his blood, redemption. the remission of sins." What a light all this throws on the meaning of the universe, all the elements and forces which we examine and learn to know through astronomy and physics, chemistry and biology! Each of these elements and forces is a sacred thing, a thing cherished by Christ. who has the mission of bringing them all back to the Creator , but through our, using of them. We can give them to Him only because He is This love of the world itin them. sail by Christ is a mystery that we only He is in absotoo often overlook. lute truth the Lord of the World, who makes all things one. By a mere use of our reason we. can formulate this equation: The universe surrounds us. God surrounds us. Is the conclusion then that the world and God are one? No: for we also know that God is infinite, and therefore the universe cannot be coequal with Him. But this God, who transcends created and contingent things. does dwell in the universe, fills it .and wherever there is space, real or imaginable, there is also God. Abbe Lemaitre's expanding universe is merely trying to fill the illimitable and to reach the limits of the infinite. But we have also a Revelation that adds to the knowledge which science supplies us. The "sacrament" of the universe, the mystery whose mission it was St. Paul's to expound, is precisely that of the unity of all things, through Christ, who as "the firstborn of all creatures' must redeem the whole of creation as he must all men. Listen to his mysterious words (Romans. viii, 19-21): For the expectation of creation Waiteth for the revelation of the sons of God (For creation was made subject to vanity, Not willingly, But through horn (man) to whom it was made subject) Jr the hope that creation also shall be delivered From the slavery of c)rruption Into the liberty of the glory Of the sons of God. There is. then, a redemption that things themselves await a redemption in some way similar to that of outset ves of which St. Paul speaks in the
Now it was not in the design of God that this unity be a merely material one. While this tighter unity of all men and all things is being brought about, the Spirit that dwells in the Church is softly and quietly moving men's minds to ponder again the old and half-forgotten words of St. Paul. A living unity will b.nd all men together and the link of the union is We. have seen how Christ Himself. this presence of Christ in the elements of the universe sanctifies science: there is no less a sanctification awaiting all human relations. business, statecraft. Listen to St education .everything. Paul: (Romans. xiv.. p9" : Whether we live, we live unto the Lord: And whether we die. we die unto the Lord: Therefore whether we live, Or whether we die. We are the Lord's For to this end Chritt died and rose: That he might be Lc-rd Both of the living and of the dead He had just said: "None of Us lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself." Elsewhere he had said: "I live: but yet not I. For it is Christ that And lives in me" (Galatians. ii. 20). how this comes about he tells us also (Colassions. 1. 18) : "For be is the For head of the body, the church." the Father "has put all things under his feet. and has made him head over all the church. which is his body and he fullness of him wit,. is filled all in all" (Ephesians. i, '22-23).

As for man. a higher destiny awaits. It has become a commonplace to say that the world, and indeed the universe, has become smaller. The speed of communications—the radio, the airplane—brings closer every day the ends of the earth. This is merely another way of saying that a mysterious process of unification is taking place, of which we do not know the outcome. The same is true in a lesser but accelerating degree of the universe itself. The note of our time is unity.

words that immediately follow those quoted. How this may be we do not know, for we are not told, But we may guess. Through man, to whom creation was made subject, creation fell also, and was degraded and enslaved. Through man, then, the second Adam, it will be liberated, and will enjoy the liberty of the sons of God, that is, of the brothers of Christ, the Son of God. This, at least, we know. But we also learn vastly of the meaning of that universe which science, the handmaid of truth, is daily opening more and more fully to our gaze; and it also teaches us somewhat of the dignity and funcScience is tion of science itself. nothing more nor less than the instrument by which creation. the universe, is to be brought to a head in Christ, who, as St. Paul says, "recapitulates all things" in Himself. It is our duty as Christians more than it is the duty of any others to see to it that science fulfils this awful mission.

Now there is but one way by which this unity of mankind with God can be brought about, the way attributed by Secretary Wallace to the Catholic Church. St. Paul (and I am translating him according to the interpretation of the Greek doctors, SS. John Damascene and John Chrvsostorn) in his first letter to the Corinthians reveals the foundation of the unity of mankind in Christ (x, 16-17) :

" Do Nothing? Impossible!" (By Rev. Father Vincent McNabb, 0.P.) I sometimes think I owe a special w ord of thanks to my Master for having set me in life's fighting line, or (to use a true metaphor) in life's melting pot. Again and again have I realised in the failure of the attack how strong are those truths of faith and morals, whose clear statement is their best defence. When such failure comes with its dramatic fulfilment of all the convictions of . my years of student preparation, my sense of gratitude to God almost betrays itself in visible emotion. Perhaps an old friar-theologian whose life has been mostly on the church's battle front may be allowed to have his spiritual experiences and emotions in his own strange way. At any rate ,he w ould have to confess that the glorious "goings-on" he reads of in the lives of the saints are known to him scientifically, and not empirically. He knows a little of the science of them; but he does not know the taste nor even the sight of them
•••:41 -oat
The Vision of Faith. Yet he would have to follow up this confession with another. His charity found it more than enough to love his neighbour whom he did see; lest, perhaps, he should deceive himself by thinking he loved God whom he did not see. So. too, in shee • gratitude for the good things of the Ap -;stles' Creed (not excluding the name of Pontius Pilate!) he never besought any of the marvel b us rapts and ecstasies and visions of some of his brothers and sisters inside the Communion of Saints. Again and again he said to himself that Faith was vision enough for his undeserving, rationalising battle-grimed intelligence. Yet he would be ungrateful to Him who feeds even the sparrows after the manner of sparrows (and not as pure. pedigreed eagles), if he did not own to many an ecstatic thrill at such odd moments as the singing of the Nicene Creed by his brethren during a High Mass; or even when a vast congregation of simple lay folk have been making a vernacular hymn into a great bilOnce when the lowing sea of song. Catholic folk of Yorkshire took into their heads (and hearts) to pilgrimage to Kirkstall ,the thunder of a said Rosary lifted him to some place—not in Yorkshire—where he heard and saw gratias. things he could not A "Vision" of the Street Sorner. A s for his "visions"--save the mark! —they are twin-clay to his ecstasies. No quiet homes or hours of prayer beget them. They are idola fort, wraiths of the open air, quiet whispers that go in and out of the hostile din of Parliament Hill Fields—or little unforgettable lightnings suddenly shooting up in the night darkness of Marble Arch. Such a vision almoet blinded me a few weeks ago in that same night dark? ness. Part of its blinding power lay in its unexpectedness—a rare happening for an old contemptible. My predecessor, a fellow priest, had been crossquestioned rather than heckled on the proposed mutilation of the so-called Mental Defectives. Towards the close of my hour on the platform the cross-questioner returned t o the question of mutilation There was a certain tragic fitness between the theme and the place. Tyburn Tree with its heavy autumn harvest of Catholic Martyrs ,and its "conduits running wine of blood" was not unworthy of a discussion on the advantages of mutilating innocent English men and women, and, indeed, still more innocent English boys and girls. My cross-questioner was clearly not a professional master of brawls. The earnestness of his vor 'e told as much. I had enough light from a distant lamp, or from the moon to see turned upwards to me a haggard, pale face.

National Socialism Austrian Bishops Expose Its Errors The Austrian Bishops issued a joint Pastoral for Christmas, on the actual state of affairs in Austria. The letter is said to be largely the work of Can clinal Junitzer, Primate of Austria. The Letter condemns political violence, crimes and assassinations, and upholds the State's authority as emanating from God, Whose Vicar the State is whilst it acts in accordance with the moral law. "The State has the right to repress violence by just penal measures, and, in case of necessity, even by the pain of death, in order to protect sufficiently the life and security of the peaceful population." With regard to the conflict with Germany, the Letter says: "A tragic conflict has erected an artificial barrier between the two brother peoples but it is not the Austrians who have provoked thissonflict. This fraticidal war has been imposed upon us. "We have many times extended the hand of friendship to Germany, and we shall continue to extend it until it is accepted in a spirit of reconciliation ,but a true peace is only possible on the basis of justice. In demanding the absolute independence of Austria, our Government is only vindicating its rights as a sove-eign State which has its own history and its own interests." A fter pointing out the dangers of National Socialism from a religious point of view, dangers which were exposed by the German Episcopate years ago. the Letter goes on to say: "The Concordat between Germany and the Holy See does not constitute in any sense a recognition or approbriation of the religious errors of NationalEverybody knows what Socialism. strained relations exiq in Germany be t ween the State and the Church and the fears to which they give rise. "There is no reason for astonishment, then, in the fact that the Catholics of Austria are gravely concerned about the fate of religion in the event of National-Socialist coming into power in
H.A.C.B. ANNUAL PICNIC. Sunday, February 11, was an ideal day foe a picnic to Point Walter. Many Hibernians and their friends thought so, too, and when the "Perth" left Barrack-street Jetty at 11 a m., some five hundred and fifty children and adults On arrival at the were on board. Point. picnicers lost no time in selecting shady spots to enjoy their lunches. A t 2 p.m. lucky bags and ginger beer were distributed to the children, and even the adults enjoyed the icy.cole. beverage. The race programme for children and adults was well organised, and every race was keenly contested. The following are the results Inter-Branch Relay Race, 400 yards: St. Kevin's, Subiaco (Bros. P. and N. Nelligan, K. Scott and M. Ryan), 1; Holy Rosary Branch, Nedlands, 2. Married Ladies' Race: Mrs. MeRea, 1. Mrs. Fairclough, 2. Novelty Race: Miss A. Duckworth and Mr. G. Leddin. H.A.C.B.S.

The Christian Government Austria. of ,Austria, by its defensive fight against National-Socialism, is building up a powerful rampart against the infiltration of these religious errors." After specifying the various errors, the Pastoral Letter gives the four following fundamental truths with which National-Socialism is in conflict: ( 1) That humanity constitutes one and the same family in all its branches; ( 2) That true Christian nationalism is the Will of God; (3) That the Nation and the State are distinct, and the State is above the Nation; (4) That above nationalism is religion, which is not national but supernational. With regard to the third of these truths, it may be as well to poiet out that the Bishops are here .!oncerned to oppose the error which makes the "sovereign will of the people" a supreme and independent authority apart from the Will of God and to point out that all authority from God, even that of the State, and that, as the expression of the Will of Goa the State is, therefore, above the Nation. Speaking of the withdrawal of the clergy from politics, the Bishops say that this does not mean that the Church has in principle renounced its right to use its influence in public life according to the principles of Christianity. "On the contrary, .ve hope and demand that the projected constitutional reform will recognise the Church's right to use this influence, and that is the reason why our decisiln was promulgated only as a temporary measure, having regard to the pre4ent delicate political situation." Once the definite reconstruction of the State has been accomplished, the Bishops reserve to themselves the right to use the services of the priests in the best possible manner.
SOCIETY meeting be adopted. The motion was carried. The attendance at the quarterly Communion held on Sunday, the 18th. inst., was up to the average Bro. J. Ryan reported on the annual picnic. About three or four members of this leanch attended. in the relay team we had to have a substitute, and the team which represented Nedlands was Bros. J. McGerr, J. Ryan, and V.

K. Ryan moved that the account be paid, and Bro. Chauncey seconded the motion, which was carried. Bro. Mc. Gerr and Bro. Hayes arranged to call Tuesday night on Father Masterson and then, with his permission, the branch would hold a general rally at the Claremont church on Sunday, the 25th. inst., at the 7 o'clock Mass. in order to canvass for members. Bro. McGerr asked that tlie meeting night 1-e changed ,and after a lengthy disc . s on, it was decided *o hold the fortnightly meetings on Wednesdays, the first taking place on Wednesday, March 7. The rough minutes were taken as read, on the motion 2f Bro J. Ryan The meeting and Bro. Chauncel. closed with the usual prayers at 9.15 p.m. St. Teresa Branch, 'Queen's Park.

Since the discovery of the New World by Columbus, her citizens have gone overseas and settled and planted in every quarter of the globe. It was the overflow of the surplus population, that trade and industry could not support at home, which carved out new homes in the newly discovered lands, including our own dear lovely morning land—Australia. * That was only as it should be. The land of the earth was there for the seeking, and its occupation was but in accordance with the natural law of increase and multiplication. But according to some modern legislators, and propagandists, this state of affairs is to continue no longer. Instead of allowing the nations to increase and multiply, and instead of filling in the great empty spaces of the earth with the surplus population, that excess of brain and muscle shall no longer be tolerated. It shall be strangled at its birth in accordance with the inhuman, unnatural and abhorrent cult of Malthus and Marie Stopes. Despite the fact that history records. that birth control is the surest sign of national decay, propaganda for its Emcontinuance is allowed to go unceasingly on.

Living With the Church
In the Epistle St. Paul invites us to sanctify by charity and honesty to our fellow men, and by purity. "For this is the will of God- your sanctification: not in the passion of lust like the Gentiles, nor circumventing your brother in business, because the Lord is the avenger of all these things." The Gospel deals with the TransReference is made to figuration. Moses and Elias, each standing beside Our Lord. This Gospel is connected with Lent, because the three principal characters—Jesus, Moses, and Elias— representing the New and the Old Law ---,performed penance by fasting for forty days. Jesus showed the Apostles His glory and Divinity to strengthen their faith and point to the divinity of His mission, and to encourage his followers in the Passion, which was to follow. He allowed Moses and Elias to appear with him, because thy were the two great pillars of the Old Law, who prepared the way for Him. Moses was the promulgator of the Old Law, and Elias the prince of the prophets— both of whom prefigured Our Lord. Jesus wished to show that the figures of the Law and the predictions of the Prophets reached their fulfillment in The voice of God the Father Him. saying: "This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased, hear ye him." Christ also confirms that teaching. forbade the three privileged Apostles to speak of the vision till after the Resurrection, because it would he more easily believed then, than in the period of His Passion and Death. end besides, His full glory was not to be made manifest till after His Death.

Old residents of Fremantle will remember his heroic work during the bubonic plague. He left this State many years ago for the South African Mission. On that Mission field his activities were as zealous and his work for religion as self-sacrificing May his soul rest in peace. The beautiful building in course of erection, and destined ere long to become St. Joseph's Church. Subiaco, is assuming very stately proportions. When finished it will indeed .be an architectural gem. To provide the interior adornment is the next step: and in this respect the various societies will assist. With this end in view, the ladies of St. Vincent de Paul Society are organising a series of entertainments, the first of which, a bridge evening, will be held in St. Joseph's Hall on Tuesday. 27th. inst. Something for the Sanctuary is their objective, the exact nature of which has not been quite decided upon. Don't forget Tuesday evening next, 27th, inst., in St. Joseph's Hall. Progressive bridge will be played for money prizes.

Our best wishes to the Boulder and Kalgoorlie C.Y,M.S. for a useful and prosperous year's work.
Rev. Dr. McMahon, M.A., whose appointment as one of the Government nominees to the University Senate, has just been announced. The appointment will date from March 6, and will remain in force for six years. Dr. McMahon. who will be the first priest- in Australia to act as a member of a University Senate, has had a distinguished academic career. Graduating in Arts at the National University in 1915. he pursued a course in Edknation for the next two years, for which he was awarded the Higher Diploma with Honours. Continuing his studies in this sphere. he graduated M.A. in Educational Science, securing First Class Honours. and first place in Ireland in 1919--the highest professional qualification for teachers. Dr. McMahon. who had pursued his Theological studies in the meantime, came to Perth shortly afterwards, where he has worked ever since. Tie founded the Newman Society for Catholic University students in 1924, and pioneered University Sunday in this State. In 1928, after two years' post graduate study in Ireland and the United States, t wo theses published by him. entitled "Some Methods of Teaching Religion," and "The Perth Plan." earned for him the'Ph.D. degree in Education. He has been a member of the Music Advisory Board appointed by the Senate since 1922. In his capacity of Diocesan Inspector of Religious Instruction .he was the founder and pioneer of the Bush. lies' Scheme in the West, whereby the scattered Catholic children of the bush have their religious needs attended to without any cost to the parents. He takes a very keen interest in University affairs, and for that reason his appointment by the Government to the vacancy in the Senate. has been most appropriate, and will no doubt prove of immense benefit to the Catholic life of A block of five acres has the State. recently been granted to the Archbishop for a Catholic recidential college for those students at the rniversitg

WORDS OF WISDOM. Conform yourself to Christ Crucified and separate your rlf utterly front the world. We must often remember what Christ said, that not he who begins but he that persevere, to the end shall be saved. When the soul is depressed or cast down, that is not sin in itself, which comes in when there is distrust in God. The soul must always be seeking. always be gazing up through the darkness to a God Who hides Himself. All disquiet of heart and distraction of the senses arise from inordinate love and vain fear —Thomas a' Kempis. The wounds of Jesus Christ pierce the hardest of hearts. they inflame the coldest.—St. Bonaventure. The greater our cross, the greater is our gain: the more deprived suffering is of consolation, the purer it is: the more closely we are united to God. , Whoever is against Jesus is the mortal enemy of the loving soul, whether he be brother, friend, protector. master. or king.—Blessed Eyrnard. Just as the sight of God will be Pleasing to His elect, and give them great joy, so will it be appalling to he reprobate .and terrible in its effects son them.
THE NECESSITY AND IMPORTANCE OF RELIGION. "Turh, therefore, once more to religion. Here is a subject which claims to concern the whole of man, and more. It concerns, first, man as he is in himself, his emotions, his morals, his understanding, his thoughts. words, and actions, his social relations, his individual responsibility, his aspirations, his doubts, his hopes; and, further, it claims to concern all that God has done for him: his creation, his redemption, his momentaty guidance If, then, one sinand illumination. gle branch of man's activities—art or historical learning—dejAends for its perfect pursuit upon the entire man: if. for example. falling in love gives him new passion in music-making, or a disappointment a keen intuition into Napoleon's life at St. Helena—how much more is every faculty of his being, in short, his character as he has made it out of his original nature by his subsequent efforts and drcurnstancos-how much more is this to give evidence in his supreme interest? An acAernic professor, therefore, occupied with mathematics, is open to the peril of one-sidedness: so is the historian, the artist, the sensualist, the Each in his own realm philosopl.er has cultit ated his faculties to an end unworthy of their fullest exercise; he alone is suveirely competent to judge of religion who has dedicated his powers to its single cause: who has tried to live, not to himself nor to any one branch of life exclusively, but to the -Ind.- of the Will of God and to the manner in which Tie may be served.— "Papers of a Parish." by R. H. Benson.
GIVE THY HEART. Give thy heart to Him Who first gave His to thee, that thou mavest give heart for heart. -Spanish MS. Thirteenth Century . HOLINESS.

Peter and Paul. Celebration of Marriage. According to the present discipline of the Church. Marriage may be celebrated at any time.

Collections for the Holy Places in Palestine and for the Aboriginal Mission. I wish to remind the clergy that the annual collection for the above named funds should be taken up on Good Friday. either at the Adoration of the Cross, or whatever other sacred function will be given to the faithful on the previous Sunday. and the offerings from each parish will be forwarded to the Administrator, as soon as possible afterwards. Wherever the Stations of the Cross are erected, the Stations should be publicly performed three times each week during Lent. The indulgences are manifold, which indulgences may be gained also privately and at any time. * PATRICK J. CLUE, Archbishop of Perth.

) Aunt Bessy's Nieces and Nephews SPECIAL BENEFACTOR FOR MARCH. The Vicar of Wakefield Unearths an Ancient Chief of Breffni. Towards the hour of sunset on Friday evening, when the minds of men thought longingly on the possibilities of a cool change, and when the eyes looked in vain towards Fremantle to see if the breeze was stirring things in that direction, the Vicar of Wakefield arrived at headquarters, exhausted with the intense temperature, breathless, hatless, but smiling, and announced that he had gained another "Fiver" to the Cause. On being questioned more closely, the Vicar hinted that the Special Benefactor, though not universally recognised as being a wealthy man, had made a tour of the world twice over, and had openly confessed that, in spite of many enlightening things he had observed in his periods of travel ,nothing to his tnind was greater or grander or more worthy of encouragement than the Bushies' Scheme as operated here in the West. Sit up, Cinderella, after that, and do not allow yourself to be sat upon by your sisters in the East, who think that it is even hard to get cabbages and other green vegetables to flourish on your sandy soil. He who opined thusly in favour ot the Bushies' Scheme has travelled in distant countries with those who could scarcely unblushingly describe themselves as "Innocents Abroad." Because of his many opportunities for observation, and because of his venerable years and ancestry, it behoves us now to welcome him on to that select committee of Special Benefactors whose interest and cash is unholding the advantages we are trying to give the. Innocents at Home and in the Bush. Never, as the Vicar waxed informative, she of the S.O.S. grew pensive. "I don't think I ought to take five pounds from him," she reflected aloud: "they say he hasn't a penny to call his Tell him not to send it," she own. added; "surely you can rake up a few v.ealthy business meo whom I can be certain won't miss it?" But, on hearing the Vicar say that he could not lay a hand on one wealthy man who would g:ve a "Fiver" to the relief of the 'S.O.S. Aunt Bessy had to agree that perhaps she would he :-.ther obliged to the Chief of ,Breffni. "After all," she. captalated ,"I stressed that no one was to give it if it meant straining a point, and if he wants to send it, I suppose it wouldn't be nice to tell him not to; and it would be less nice to send it 'lack when I get it, wouldn't it?" "Absolutely unthinkable and against all etiquette." prompted Tiddles. "If he has toured around the world twice he must have a few pounds somewhsere"—this, mind von, from the Wet Blanket. whose heart has softened somewhat ,for she, the dear, is dreadfully upset because Sandy McDougall has also come to the rescue, it being her idea to put down one pound if he put 'down four ,and now, of course, it can't be done because Sandy has guarl'iteed the lot "You could never refuse to take it," said the Vicar. "not that I think for a moment that you would. You know. there were several kings about East Breffni at one time, and perhaps the Ancient Chief has inherited a bit of their private property tinbeknowns to us out here." "Probably he has, and more probably he hasn't." but looking at it from a reliigous point of view, if I don't give him this opportunity to do what he wants with his own spare cash, I might be depriving him of some great reward in Heaven, especially if he's wishful to secure the month of March ir honour of St. Patrick, the mightiest and most religious Chief whom the land of Breffini claims," and after giving ut. terance to this conclusion, and all present having voted in favour of the acceptance of this new and unexpected donation, Aunt Bessy left the office not caring very much that another night of mosquitoes and heat was creeping on apace.

Summer School, Esperance. Dear Aunt Bessy,—I am writing to let you know that we have had a lovely time here at the summer school. Six of us children made our first Holy Cornmunion yesterday. We had a beautifuf breakfast afterwards, and then went off for a picnic to Newtown. We had a great many sw:ms .and enjoyed ourselves very much. We had beautiful instructions every day, and every evening before the Rosary Father Cunningham asked us questions on what we had learned during the day. Some of our answers were rather funny I'm afraid. You would have had to laugh, Aunt Bessy, if you could have heard them. Sister taught us lovely hymns for our first Holy Communion. We liked the "Little White Guest" best. We went round the islands on Saturday in a motor launch ,and saw about six seals flopping about in the water and on the rocks. Another day we went to Bandy Creek for a picnic. You see, we were a very happy family, and Father Cunningham and the Sisters made us so happy. 'All the children except my sister and brother and self went off by the midday train to-day. but we are going tomorrow, as our daddy could not come in for us to-day. We will be looking forward to another happy time at the Summer School next year. All the children wish to thank all your dear Cornerites for all they have done for us. and we promise to pray for them all ,and for you, too, Aunt Bessy. A lot of love to them and to you from a very happy little girl, JOYCE McCARTHY.

volutionary ideas, which yet had a flavour of truth and soundness about them. As a result of his early contributions to the field of Economics, Douglas vvas called to give evidence before the Select Committee of Canadian House of Commons, on Banking and ,Industry, in 1923, he being the chief European witness. Since that time, many more works on the subject of economics have issued from his pen, and the notoriety which he obtained in this field resulted in him tendering evidence before the MacMillan Committee on Finance and Industry, instituted by the British Parliament in 1930. As a result of his writings, this engineer-economist has aroused worldwide attention both within and without what may be described as the circles of In this country, official economists. as in many others, there exists an e ver-increasing number of groups of individuals who are making a study of his writings ,as offering a way out of the present depression.
can hardly be fairly made that his is a brain incapable of study in the field of economics, and of formulating ide4 and theories, which, to say the least should be worthy of some considera: tion. As a matter of fact, his Social Credit doctrines have earned the ap, proval of a large number of the world's deepest thinkers, and it is safe to sav that they are to-day engaging the ser , ous attention of more people in the high-placed positions of administration and economic thought, than all the the. ones of the orthodox economists put Is Quting the London "Times" newspaper: "Major Douglas's proposals have for some months occupied an in. portant place among the various plans put forward to counter the economic crisis througlA which the country is passing. It is indeed possible that be. f ore many months have passed, we man see them proposed. It would surely be a good thing, therefore, in a courttry that prides itself in being a democracv ,that such ideas as these should be canvassed publicly and some definite opinions formed on them." It is therefore proposed in succeeding articles, to investigate the theories of Major C. H. Douglas, which have become known as the "Douglas Credit Proposals," with a view to ascertaining their value in effecting lasting inprovement to our existing monetary and financial system.

It is always of interest to know just what are the qualifications of anyone assumed to be an authority on a subject ,and a reference to Vol. II of "Europa,' the European "Whos Who?" discloses the following: "Douglas, Clifford Hugh, Major; British engineer and financial expert: born '79; educated Cambridge University; Major Royal Engineers. Chief construction engineer, chief engineer and manager. India, 1900-1910; deputy chief electrification engineer, Buenos Aires Pacific Railwa• . 1911: engineer P.O.

In addition, during the war, Major Douglas was assistant superintendent at the Royal Aircraft Works at Farnborough, England.

Fire Walkers of Fiji—P. & 0. Arranges Spectacle Fiji is planning a unique spectacle in honour of the Pleasure Cruise of the next Strathaird April. Fire Walkers will be brought from Beqa Island to perform their strange dance on red hot stones, a display rarely seen by white men.

A large shallow pit will be dug and partly filled with On top of logs. logs stones will be spread and then fire will be applied. In a few hours the stones will have become red hot. At this the fiery 'stage mass will be roughly levelled to permit of a crude dance on the surface. Coming out from cover, the hare-footed warriors of Beqa will march on to and around the red hot stones, finally emerging unscarred, although the fierce heat will be felt at a distance by the amazed spectators. Leaves will then he thrown into the pit and the Fire Dancers will sit around the edge, half concealed in smoke and steam, chanting a wild song or invocation.
