The Mary of Ireland SHRINES OF ST. BRIGID Holy Wells and other shrines dedicated to St. Brigid are to be found in First in immost parts of Ireland. portance amongst them comes St. Brigid's stream and well at Faughart, near Dundalk, the Saint's birthplace. The stream and well were associated with incidents in her early life and have attracted pilgrims all through the centuries. A writer in the -Dundalk Democrat- some years ago save the follow. mg account of the stream and the sta. tions performed at it:— 'The stream preper hews down the part of the hill known as the Highlands; it runs in a 7,ig-zag fashion, passing right through ;Ile grove, under the county road, and oni,varcl through the meadows below. The flow of water is regulated by the seasons. It is sometimes great, and at other times it reduces itself into a tiny streamlet. Whatever its dimensions, it stands high in the affection of th, pcopie who patronise it as a place of pilgrimage. People go in great numbers. Many from the surrounding districts, others from afe.r. . . It appears that the days most favoured for the . religious practices are the first Sunday of the month, especially the one following the Saint's feast day, the first Sunday in February." As at Lough Derg. . The exercises ot the station Were rigorous—by some compared to the Penitential exercises of Lough Derg— and Were performed at the well, the s tream, and at a mound also associated with the saint. In the stream was a stone held in particular veneration by the pilgrims and this bore the knee marks of countless pilgrims. Part of the. station in modern times was the recital of certain prayers whilst kneelmg in the knee-marks of the stone. In recent times the annual pilgrim ages to the shrines of St. I3rigid at Faughart have been led, and the spiritual exercises conducted by the clergy.

"Industrialism has herded humanity together under conditions of life not only degrading to human nature, but demoralising. Overcrowding is an incentive to vice, and in particular to sexual vice.

He took as his text the words from the Gospel, 'die (Jesus) asked him, saying: What wilt thou that I do to thee? But he said: Lord, that I may see." "This story of the cry of the blind man by the wayside," said Father Johnson, "illustrates perfectly the cry of a human soul when it stands face to face with Jesus Christ. "There may come a time for you, as for so many others—I speak now to those of you who may not be yet Catholics, but are asking for Light to decide—when you will have to go through a mental conflict because you are not sure of your position, and if you are ir the position of teaching others, your very ministry may be in question. Do not lose heart, even though difficulties 'increase around you, until it seems as thcugh darkness engulfs you, and you lose sight of your Lord altogether—for a time. "The it is that a moment will come when there is nothing left for you to do but to kneel down where you are-in the dark—and cry out to your Lord for help. If you do so. sincerely and from the depths of your heart. His help

will be given you. Then you must follow. It will mean, perhaps, that you must sever your connections with many whom you love; that some of your strongest and dearest ties will have to be broken, and that agonies of mind and heart will overwhelm you for a time. "But if your cry for help and guidance has been sincere, and you have really placed yourself unreservedly in the ahnds of your Lord, you will find that help coming to you in every way The very things which have been urged against Catholicism will turn to your advantage, and prove the final force which will rise up and lead you through portals of the Catholic Church. The greatest trials always yield the greatest blessings. as you will find. "So if this darkness comes upon you, and Your trust in God is your anchor. you will not be left long in desolation: You will hear the voice of your Lord. Ine of good heart: thy .aith hath made thee whole.' Not your gifts, not your intellect, but your Faith. "He has heard; He wil answer; and in the darkness you will feel the touch of His Hand; and He will lead you safely, without stumbling, into His Ark of Salvation. "The Church founded on a Rock is the one and only hope. and when you have entered its gates you will experience the inexpressible relief of certainty—certainty of Faith. certainty of morals. You have answered His call. and you will do as did those men in the Gospel: you will follow Him in the way. glorifying God."

THE PICNIC. Among the important functioss during the scholastic year of St. Ildephonsus' College, the St. Patrick's Day picnic ranks prominently, and in accordance with the old custom, Clune's Pool, some two miles distant from the College, was again the scene of our activities. This day is doubly important, for it heralds the swimming championships of the College. The manner in which these events were carried out reflects great credit on the Rev. Brothers Charles, Canisius, and Cuthbert. Our congratulations go to Grieg. Frieze, the College champion, wha had no difficulty in defeating Phil. Dickson in the final: also to S. de Pierre, A. Benson, J. Haynes and E. Gerick, winners o f the under 16, 15, 14, and 13 championships, respectively. The remain• der of the morning was filled up with swimming relays and tug-e'•war events, among the Senior and .Toniot cricket teams. In the Senior division the laurels went to M. Flynn and his team mates, who easily carried off both In the junior division the events. honours were divided, Maurice and Longmore's teams winning the swimming and tug-o'-war, respectively. No more appropriate words than a sumptuous feast could be applied to t he lunch, provided by Brother Alphnnsus and a willing band of workers, and on behalf of the school we tender to them our sincere thanks. In the aftenoon the boys were free to enjoy themselves at leisure till 5.30. when they returned to the pool and partook of a bountiful repast in real picnic style. They then returned home for a good night's rest. The results are as follows:-Open Championship: G. Frieze, 1; P. Dickson, 2; J. Knox, 3. Under 16 Championship: S. de Pierre, 1 : F. Lang, 2; C.

There was a large attendance at the meeting he'd by the Catholic Young e,adies' Club on Thurs,.lay, Ma;ch 15, the President, Miss Come! Somers, pre-iding • •••r the meeone and t..ca new members were admitted to the Club, namely, Misses Linda and Lola Connoly. The events of the evening were the annual elections and the reading of reports submitted by the Secretary, Miss Brosnan. and the Treasurer, Miss Hurley. Report& In her report, the Secretary outlined briefly the Club activities for the past year, and mentioned the increase in Club members who have joined up within the last few months, and requested all who are anxious to join to come along to the meeting at the Cathedral Hall on next Thursday evening. The treasurer read the financial statement for the past year, and we find ourselves in a satisfactory financial position. Elections. After the election it was found that the President. Treasurer. Secretary and Librarian were re-elected. Miss Imelda Leddin resigned ,and Miss Jean Harford was elected vice-president. Owing to the increasing development and rnpularity of our library, ot has been found necessary to appoint an assistant librarian. Miss Dulcie Swarbrick. who is well conversant with most of the books, should find herself a capable assistant in that capacity. The Club wish to thank Miss Imelda Leddin and Miss Helen Brennan for their valuable services throughout the past year. The Dance. The opening dance last Saturday night was declared a unanimous success. Judging by the large crowd, it is going to be very popular again this year. With the screen dispensed with. there is certainly a world of difference and we needed the extra length of room. So come along next Saturday right and enjoy a good night's entertainment.

Fremantle C.Y.M.S. Cricket. Sunday, March 4, witnesstd our first defeat for the season, and this reverse was at the hands of Fremantle Christian Brothers' College. The C-ollege had first use of the wicket, and were dismissed for the moderate total of 99, our trundlers to secure wickets being Jim Grady, Martin Ryan, Geo. Jeffs, Joe Coen, and Charlie Hansen. For the College Harry .Harrison batted attractively- for a well compiled 28, while Brother Redmond delighted with a breezy exhibition for 27. Other batsmen to reach double figures were J. Conway (14) and P. Matison (11). Our stay at the wickets was rather a short one, our last wicket falling when the score board read 76, thus giving victory to the College by 23 runs. Joe Coen was our only batsman to master the bowling, and in doing so played a lone hand for a crisply compiled 37. Our collapse was caused by the deadly bowling of Pat Pentony and Harry Matison, each of these bowlers securing five wickets. However, we have some consolation in knowing that both these boys will soon be members of our Society, and so team mates. A feature of the match was our fielding, which was of a very high standard, and in this department Harry O'Flaherty was outstanding. We are endeavouring to secure a return match with the College, as we are confident of turtling the table. Annual Picnic. This annual event, which was held last Sunday week, was thoroughly enjoyed by all present. The m.v.

Adrienne, by her foresight, her skill, her sympathy, literally remade the fortunes of the broken-down hero. He was to live another 30 years and take part in two more revolutions. But the price was Adrienne's life. Constant suffering, constant anxiety, and, most of all, the disease con tracted in the damp and filthy dun geon of the Central Powers, broke dcwn her powers of resistance.

In the autumn of 1807 she grew seriously ill. Lafayette, who had at last understood how privileged he, the world's hero, had been to have had such a saintly servant of God as his life's partner, could hardly bear to Again and again leave the sick-bed. Adrienne prayed for his conversion. It was her only worry. One day she was conscious of great r Lace and consolation: she saw in an inner vision that God would in some r .anner known only to Himself, save the husband who, whatever his faults had lived by the light of his conscience.

Catholic News from Everywhere

Blanche, Countess of Rosslyn, who has just died at the age of 94, leaves more than 70 descendants. Five years ago she became a great-great-grandmother when a daughter was born to Lady Diana Worthington. She was '.auried at Rosslyn, and is the first Catholic to be buried at the ancestral Rosslyn home since the Reformation. The late Countess, described as one of the great figures of Victorian society and one of the last links with that famous social epoch, was received into the Church in 1905 by the Rev. Bernard Vaughan, S.J.

'During my 40 years of missionary life I have tramped the circumference of the globe," declares a missionary from Parlakimedi, India.

THE RECORD.

NATURALLY GIFTED MEN of Collins Street, Melbourne

Mr. James Lyons.

Will begin a 2nd Course of their wonderful treatment at the King Edward Hotel on April 3rd

Mr. Barnie Lyons.

This treatment is a great boon to sufferers who have found that DRUGS, LOTIONS, HERBS, DIETS, BATTERIES, MEDICINES, ELECTRICITY, and MASSAGE, etc., for it is WITHOUT THE AID OF THESE OUTSIDE AGENCIES that the Messrs. Lyons have made their treatment famous. The gift with which these men are endowed is not something that can be acquired by a lifelong study; it is not a secret that the physician can impart; it is not something that can be found by experience in applying: IT IS A NATURAL GIFT AT BIRTH. Various individuals in all ages have been gifted by Nature and given some power which others do not possess. Great Astronomers, Poets, Scientists, Inventors, Painters, Singers, Musicians, etc., have, because of the genius within them, been able to do great things with ease which other men, no matter how extensive their education or how conscientious they may have been, have found it impossible to do, and it is in this way we explain the wonderful powers which both Mr. James Lyons and Mr. Barnie Lyons possess. If it were not for these natural inborn powers they would not have been able to effect the remarkable cures as given below in letters and testimonials. If it were nit for an extraordinary natural gift. Edison would not have been able to astonish the world with his wonderful inventions, which are to-day regarded as commonplace requirements; nor would Melba, without her natural gifted power have been able to charm the world with song and even within the last few months we have been astonished and charmed with the 12-year-old South Australian boy, Philip Hargrave, whose natural gift as a pianist has caused such great interest all over Australia. These are only a few of the great number of extraordinary gifted people that we could mention, others being Napoleon, Robert Burns, etc. The Origin of most of these extraordinary natural gifts could be accounted for under the heading of the Philosophy of Child-marking or Prenatal Influence; that is the influence of the mother's mind on the unborn child. A CHANCE DISCOVERY. In the following we propose to give a brief outline of how Mr. James Lyons, more than 30 years ago, discovered that he was possessed of a rare gift that, by a gentle touch manipulation with his hands, he could relieve suffering, and that years later how it was discovered that his son, Mr. Burnie Lyons, was also endowed with the same extraordinary power of bringing health and happiness and freedom from pain to suffering humanity. Mr. James Lyons was born at Westbrook, Toowoomba, Queensland. One day his sister, who was suffering severely with a headache, was unable to attend a social function to which they had both been invited, so out of sympathy for her, and in saying good-bye to her, he gently laid his hand on her head. He as well as his sister was greatly surprised when shortly afterwards she declared that her headache had quite gone. Naturally this extraordinary incident caused a lot of comment. As time went on many came to him with various pains, such as headache, toothache, neuralgia, backache, etc. NO FAITH OR CONFIDENCE REQUIRED. Some came to him believing that he really had an extraordinary power: some came in the spirit of adventure, while many came to him openly sceptical and even defying him to relieve their pain, hut to their great surprise in practically every instance their suffering would cease after a simple manipulative treatment. From the foregoing statement of facts, it will be seen that from the very early stages of his career that it was not necessary for the sufferer to exercise belief or confidence to be cured, for neither he nor his sister gave any thought of relief from her headache when be was simply saying good-bye, nor was it by the belief or confidence of those who openly defied him. CURING CHRONIC COMPLAINTS. For many years he went on relieving suffering, but being of a sensitive nature he rarely spoke of his gift, except to his most intimate friends, but he never hesitated in giving relief from suffering when the opportunity came his way. His great triumph came, however, with the realisation that his remarkable gift of stopping pain by his soothing manipulative power was equally successful in the field of long standing and chronic ailments. But it was not until he had treated 187 cases, and waited for 12 months to satisfy himself that the cures were of a permanent nature, that he could be persuaded to take it up professionally. We would like to draw attention here that in all these 187 cases there were none who had been treated for more than 15 to 18 treatments. Some of these cases received benefit from the first: others during the course of treatment, while some of the more severe cases received the full benefit some time after the treatment, but in no case had more than IS treatments been given. Although this treatment was well known in the home countries in bygone years, Mr. Lyons was the first to introduce it in a professional way :n A ustralia. A fter mans- Years of observation and experience, he took up this newold profession in 1914; that is, by curing the sick and suffering by an inborn manipulative power without any assistance on the part of the patient in the form of faith, belief, or confidence; and also without the aid of orthodox methods of DRUGS, LOTIONS, HERBS, STRICT FORMS OF DIETING, BATTERIES, ELECTRICITY, MASSAGE, etc. Mr. Lyons made the full course of treatment 15-18 treatments, and duning the last twenty years he has seldbm found it necessary to depart from this procedure. LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON. It was many years later, when Mr. Lyons's third son, Barnie, then aged seven years. was boarding at a college at Bangalow, on the northern rivers of New South Wales, that it was discovered that he was also gifted with the same manipulative powers, and was destined to a similar c*reer of bringing health, strength, and freedom from pain as his father was doing. While he was still at this college, one of the teachers contracted very bad neuralgic pains in the head and face, and after trying the various prescribed methods without success Parnie was called on to give relief, which he did in a most efficient manner. News of his ,quaint powers always seemed to precede him to any of the college he attended, and it was quite an acknowledged thing with both masters and boys alike to get him to stop their pains for them. Barflies mission of healing started much earlier in life, than did Mr. Lyons, tor Barnie had only reached the age of 10 when it fell to his,lot to treat some of the more serious ailments. NOT AN ACQUIRED POWER Si it will be readily seen that this treatment is not something that was acquired. or could be acquired even by a lifelong study, because James

Lyons was but 16 years of age when, quite by accident, he cured his sis, ter of headache. At the much younger age of seven years, it was discovered by the principal of the convent where Barnie was boarding, that he could owe toothache, headache, neuralgia, etc., in the same manner as his father. se it can be readily seen that the treatment is unique and original, and has no connexion, or even similarity, to any of the generally accepted methods of treatments. They do not ask the patient to exercise faith or confidence, so it is NOT FAITH HEALING. They do not prescribe Drugs, Lotions, Herbs, or Diets; neither do they use Electricity, Batteries, or Massage, or any of the artificial methods The source of their WONDERFUL POWER IS PRE-NATAL. IT IS A NATURAL GIFT AT BIRTH. THIS REMARKABLE TREATMENT has been responsible for bring. ing health and happiness to many people, many of whom had given up hope of ever enjoying a normal life again.

Maylands Notes rish Conceit. I The Convent Schoolroom at Maylands was crowded on Thursday, March 1.1. when an enjoyable Irish concert was presented. The items, which included some of exceptional merit, were fully appreciated by the large audience. Amongst those whose items proved particularly popular. were Messrs. Mick Bungert and Fred Burke. and the Misses Jean O'Sullivan and Stanley Cox. The pupils of Misses Heather Power and J.

The proceeds were donated entirely to the Convent, in order to provide a few reuisites for the school room. The Sisters are extremely grateful to the

PERTH. S....'ATTJP DAY. MARCH 24, 1934. a_

Holy Week We humans ever ne external aids to raise our minds to God, and hence the rites and ceremonies of the Church, not one of which is without a significant symbolical meaning. Of all the liturgical seas,-.,ns of the year, none is so inspiring, or so rich in ceremonial, as th:A portion of Passion Tide, which is known as Holy Week. W ednesday, Thursday, and Friday are the three solemn days of next week, and have therefore special ceremonies attached to them. On the evenings of these days the Office of Tenebrae is sung. The word means darkness, beca•ise it pictures to us, by the gradual darkening of the church, the unnatural darkness which overshadowed the world at the death of Christ. The Office is part of the canonical office of the Church, which priests are bound to say e -ery day. It consists of Matins and Lauds of the following day, but sung by anticipation the evening before. It is the Church's way of preparing us to assist with proper dispositions at the sacred f vlictions of the following morning. •

Holy Thursday is also called Maunly Thursday, from the Latin word meaning to wash, because Our Lord washed the disciples' feet, as an example of humility. It is the day of the Last Supper— the day on which He instituted the Most Holy Sacrament. In honour of this Mystery the Church lays aside her mourning, at Feast during the celebration of the Mass, and decks the altar with her richest ornaments. To show forth the unity of this Supper, the Church allows only one Mass in each chhrch, at which the clergy and congregation assist, and receive Holy Communion. This brings before us in a forcible way the scene in the upper chamber in Jerusalem, when Jesus distributed Holy Communion to those present. During the Mass the Holy Oils for the administration of the Sacrament throughout the year are blessed and consecrated by the Archbishop. These are then distributed throughout the churches of the Archdiocese. • The organ and bells are heard no more until the Mass on Holy Saturday. After the Mass the Blessed Sacrament is removed in procession from the High Altar to the Altar of Repose, where the faithful keep watch throughout the day and night till Friday morning. The High Altar and other altars are stripped of their linens, to remind us of Our Lords departure from life and His burial in the Sepulchre. •

On Good Friday, the sad and mournful ceremonies referring to the death of Christ are proceeded with. The cross, the symbol of our salvation, is stripped for the adoration of the faithful. history of the Passion is sung during the Mass, and afterwards The petitions and prayers are made for all. The Mass is called that of the Presanctified, because the Sacrel Host has been -onsecrated from the day before, and is now consumed. representing tihe death on Calvary. The Church is thus bereft of the Blessed Sacrament all day on Good Friday, just as the world was bereft of Christ in the tomb.

The Feast of the Annunciation, which falls on to-day, is transferred this year to the 9th. April. The Passion Gospel, according to St. Matthew, is solemnly chanted at the Cathedral eleven o'clock Mass. , Palm Sunday commemorates the last triumph of Our Lord on e'auth, and opens Holy Week. It is a commemoration of His triumphal entry into Jerusalem, when the people strewed palms in His path and cried ho;ann-as of oraise and loyalty. The Gospel—or Passion—according to St Matthew, describes the different phases of Our Lord's ignominy—the treachery of Judas. the agony in the garden, and the desertion of the Apostles, the cruelty of His judges, and the sufferings of the Cross. From today's liturgy, we learn not to trust the applause of the world, and to hope for To-day we reward from Gpd alone. Jerusalem entering behold Christ amidst the acclamations of the multitude—but five days later we shall see We also Him dragged to Calvary. learn to hope in God for reward in the next life.

The Archdiocese

•

So eager is the Church for the joyful celebrations of Easter Sunday that she anticipates Christ's Resurrection. The altar is decorated for Mass .on Saturday morning. The deacon is stripped of his purple at the door Gf the church, and dons the white dalmatic. He proceeds up through the church, holding a triangular candlestick, representing the Holy Trinity, and one lw one the candles are lighted, because the Holy Trinity was only gradually pomulgated to the world. It was such a wonderful mystery that people's hearts and souls had to be gradually prepared for it. Then he begins the joyous chant of praise, the "Exultet." And so full" of joy is the Church, so full of gratitude for the redemption of her children, that she then actually calls the sin of Adam a happy event. The ceremonies of Holy Week are thus closed. The Lenten period comes to an end on that day. and the fast ceases. The stage is next set for the joyful celebration of the great day of Resurrection. and what the faithful have sown in tears during Lent, they shall t hen reap with joy, rejoicing with the Risen Saviour.

Midland Junction On Tuesday, 13th. inst., the St. Brigid's School Hall was the scene of a large and representative gathering of parishioners and friends, assembled there to congratulate and farewell Mr. James Knox, prior to the commencement of his studies for the priesthood at New Norcia. Mr. Knox, who has lived most of his life in Midland, and was educated at the local Convent School, is the first young mas to leave the parish for this great purpose. The Chairman, Mr. Owen Hanlon, congratulated Mr. Knox on the great vocation bestowed on him, and wished him every success in his future studies. Father McCormick spoke of the life of study and hard work Mr. Knox had before him as a servant of God and the people, but reminded him that his great calling would be more than ample reward for any trials and trouble's he might pass through. After commenting on several incidents which occurred during his own college life, Father McCormick assured Mr. Knox of a very hearty welcome on his return to Midland, and on behalf of the parishioners presented him with a beautiful gold wrist watch, suitably inscribed. Mr. Knox. in his response. thanked those present for their attendance. Mr. Hanlon for having organised the function, and Father McCormick for his HP helpful advice and instruction. referred to the Sisters of Mercy for the education he•bad received from them, especially from Sister M. Lucy, who coached him for his Junior University E xamination, then finally expressed his heartfelt gratitude to his uncle asrl aunt for having reared him since early childhood. Mr. R. Knox uncle of the future Benedictine, also thanked those present. and stated that he and Mrs. Knox had had no trouble in rearing him. and that both got great pleasure from the knowledge that a nephew of theirs was to be a priest. The evening concluded with several musical items, after which the Younger folk indulged in dancing. finally singing 'For he's a jolly good fellow" and "For Aid Lang Syne." A very successful dance is held in the Midland Jusction Trades Hall every Saturday night, St. Patrick's night carnival eclipsing all expectations. A rrangements are well in hand for the event of the year. namely, the Midland Junction Annual Catholic Ball, which will take place os Wednesday, June 18.

Parish of Toodyay Auspicious Opening of Social Season. The first social function for the current year took place in the Toodyal Town Hall on Saturday, March 17. Owing to St. Patrick's Day falling on a Saturday, the usual annual ball gave place this year to a special dance, for which the organisers were Miss M. J. Wood ascl Mrs. E. B. White. The odds seemed very much against us this year, what with bereavements. accidents, absentees, bad roads after the floods, etc.. etc.. but, nothing daunted. the organisers and their willing band of both men and lady helpers put their shoulders- to the wheel, and the result w as a brilliant success. The old truism os "Where there's a will there's a way." has been again proved. This 'initial social .success for the 1934 season augurs well for the round of functions, which are to he held this year. The parish, in its various ramifications. ;s organising another bazaar, and Queen Carnival, to be finalised in October. After our spell of last year, there is a general desire and ambition to be ''at it" again for "there's nothing succeeds like success." and our figures for 1932 should he equalled, if not eclipsed, this year. Details of the campaign will appear in later issues of "The Record." Bereavement. Mr. James O'Meara, of Toodyav, passed away at the Toodyay Hospital in the early hours of last Saturday morning. March 17, his remains being interred in the local cemetery. R.I.P. Mass Time Table. Sunday, March 25: 8.30, Baker's 1-Jill; 1030. Toodvay.. April 1 (Easter Sunday' : 8, 'Ioodyay: 10. Wongamine.

Thirdly, temptation as meaning to subject one to trials in order to give him an opportunity of practising virtue in this sense, yes, it is intended, or rather allowed by God. Our Heavenly Father allows temptation as a means of merit and of spiritual progress, in the same manner as a King allows warfare as a means of military honours This is worth noticand promotion. ing. In this light, which is the true one, temptation would seem to be Providential. To say so it is to render a beautiful tribute to God our Father. But, as it is always the case, beautiful things do never go alone with God. He allows us to be tempted, at the same time giving us the grace necessary to resist. This is beautiful, too, on the part of God. "God is faithful who will not suffer vou to he tempted above that which you are able." (St. Paul.) Here is a parable proving the Providential side of temptation: Once upon a time there was a father who He sent him on errand. had a son. promising him, in recompense. a golden Through lack of vigilance, the ring. youth, although perfectly free and strong to resist any attack, fell to the prey of robbers by the road. On second effort he overcome them all and conquered. This good father, for very excellent reasons, did allow his son to be tempted on the road. He could have bestowed upon him the golden ring as a pure gift. But, in his wisdom, he willed that his son should merit it as a reward, because the ring would he all the more deserving when he struggled for it. Moreover. the better the struggle the bettet the ring. It appears, then. that temptation in this case was a means of "merit." It was, furthermore, a means of "sorrow" that he was defeated when he could have conquered. Tt was. finally, an "occasion" that would cast up past resolutions lest he falls again.

"GENERAL JOHN REGAN." An Irish Production. One of the most charming comedy films seen for many months will be shown, in addition to "Bitter Sweet," and for a change the comedy is of character rather than action. "General John Regan- is an adaptation of George A. Birmingham's Irish story of a village which erected a statue to a famous soldier-son, who actually only existed in the fertile imagination of a practical-joking American tourist. Henry Edwards plays "the lighthearted- Dr. O'Grady," who takes up the American's joke and persuades th e whole village of Ballymov that it gave birth to a General who liberated Bolivia. O'Gradv is the type of Irishman who is never at a loss in any cir• cumstances, and who regards truth telling as an expedient to be resorted t...) only in crises. Henry Edwards plays the role in engaging fashion, romping through the film with boister• ( us good humour. Mr. Edwards has also directed the fflin, and has succeeded in making the m.)st of every He has included many incident. glimpses of beautiful Trish scenery. Chrissie While—who in private life is Mrs. Edwards--makes a welcome reappearance on the screen in the ro. mantic role opposite her husband. In silent days the Edwards-White partnership was the most famous in British films, but they have not appeared as a 'team" since the earliest days of talkA number of Irish players, assoies dated with the Abbey Theatre, Dublin play supporting roles in delightful fashion W. G. Fav is Golligher the wary argumentative newspaper prone ietor; this is the role which Mr. Fay played when "General John Regan" was first produced on the stage twenty years ago. Fred O'Donovan is Doyle the s-losv-witted innkeeper: Mary O'Farrell is Mrs. Gregg, the oolice inspector's wife: Eugene Leahy is Colgan: ,Pegeen Mair is Mary Ellen: and other important Irish parts are well portrayed by John Traynor. Archibald Batty. Torin Thatcher, Madge 13rincl1ev. Denis O'Neill. and Stanley Vine. "BITTER SWEET." Rarely has a film reached supremac% in all department of production as "Bitter Sweet." which is to be presented. under Vice-Regal patronage. at the Theatre Royal for a season commencing at Easter. It is based on Noel Coward's famous operetta, performed in London, New York and throughout the world. Its story of a great. though ill-fated, love has become a dramatic classic. The picture was produced and directed by Herbert Wilcox, who 'has handled its musical sequences and colourful sweep in spectacular fashion Among those chosen to interpret this great story are Anna Neagla, and Per. nand Graavy. who star, Ivy St. Helier. Miles Mander. Esrne Percy. Clifford Neatherlev. Stuart Robertson, Hugh Williains. Pat Paterson. Miles Malleson. Gibb McLaughlin. Alan Napier, Marguerite Allen, Dorothy Robinson, and Kay Hammond. Into the romantic story, music and song are delicately woven Anna Neagle sings "Ill See You Again," "Dear Little Cafe. and "The Call of Life," the first in three stoles, as a voting pupil, a trained singer, and an old woman. Ivy St. Helier, as Manan. tl "disetise" of the cafe, sings her songs from the orginal production. Stuart Robertson, as Lieutenant Tran• isch. sings the Tokay drinking song— and his splendid baritone voice has never been heard to greater advantage

Social and Sports Committee. A t the meeting held on the 8th. inst. delegates represented the following branches: St. Patrick's, District Board, Subiaco, Maylands, South Perth, Queen's Park, Nedlands, Victoria Park West Perth, and Leederville. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and confirmed, on the motion of Bros. Burrows and Savage. Bro. Burrows and Bro. Killeen reported on the river trip held on the 2nd. inst., when an enjoyable evening was spent by about 100 members. The accommoda lion of the "Valfrida" was fully taxed, and the weather was all in our favour. These river trips held during the summer months are very popular with the members. The social season will soon he commencing, and the committee feels confident that it will receive the same measure of support for its winter programme of social fixtures.

The annual report, read by the secretary, Mr. Stan Montgomery, disclosed a satisfactory state of affairs generally, and showed that the Association had had a very successful year, the outstanding feature of which was the Interstate Carnival conducted at Christmas time. The financial statement showed that the general fund of the Association required attention from the point of view of placing it on a more stable and satisfactory basis.

OUR LADY OF THE WAYSIDE. The title "Our Lady of the Wayside" suggests many useful thoughts. "Strait is the way that leadeth to Life" ( Matt., vii., 14), we are told. . . .

Duty is not enjoyment: it is devotedness; and devotedness is that gift of God to him wherein the spirit of Christ toils for the good of others. There are saint-like lives and martyt deaths which are not recorded and are worth all the more in God's sight because unsustained by human admiration. There are men who have given up tious hopes because the paths to success were crooked and 'vii. whc, out of their necessities, have still found something with which in Christ's name t o help those still poorer. There are gentle and believing heart,' that hear for others what they would not for themselves, and multitudes of c oergetic and heroic souls scattered among a myriad homes whose lives are governed by God's holy law of service to their neighbour How like the One described by the Prophet Isaias -.re these: He took our infirmities and bore our diseases."

Of course, those who are seriously ill are not bound by either fast or abstinence. 12.—Those who are not bound to last are allowed to take meat as often as they wish on a fast day, whenever meat is allowed at the principal meal to those who are fasting. 13.—Confessors, even outside the Confessional, can for a sufficient reason, dispense in individual cases in the law of fast and abstinence. The Paschal Precept. Owing to the special circumstances of Australasia, the time for complying with the Paschal Precept of Communion extends from Ash Wednesday to the Octave of the Feast of SS. Peter and Paul. Celebration of Marriage. According to the present discipline of the Church, Marriage may be celebrated at any time. The solemn celebration of Marriage with Nuptial Mass is, however, forbidden during Advent or Lent, i.e., from the first Sunday of Advent to Christmas Day, both inclusive. and from Ash Wednesday to Easter Sunday, both inclusive. 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 ' 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. CLUNE, Archbishop of Perth.

MY CORNERITES,—I am going to be at it again, as a glance at the centre of the Corner will tell you. Acting under instruction from my council of financial advisers, I think, all things considered, that it will be wiser to extend another invitation to the "Fivers," for, like a shy guest, there may be a few who are still waiting an opportunity to he introduced to the Busbies' Scheme, and if we are to do better than last year, we must widen our ranks. All the same, I felt rather weak at the knees , at the thought of framing another solicitation for 'Special Benefactors," but the weakness left me on last Monday morning when the mail brought me a letter from one who has taken the nom-de-guerre of "Grateful to St. Anthony." and who was all of a flutter for fear she (or are you a he, my unknown?) should be too late to secure one of the months belonging to the S.O.S. When this was followed by a letter from O'Donnell Aboo telling me how thrilled he- and Mrs. O'Donnell Aboo were to find they had just got in in time, I felt it would be flying in the face of Providence to put myself in the danger of losing any intendire.! "Fiver" by closing down so soon. And now f will switch on to a more spiritual reason for my continuance on the war-path. To every truly Catholic heart, Pent Sunday is a day of very tender and intimate memories of Our Blessed Redeemer. It is a day on which the relationship of little children to His Sacred Heart is brought before our minds more prominently through reading anew the antiphons connected with the Mass of this day, and while the story of their joyous acclamations stir us to rejoice that they gave our gentle Saviour even such slight token of affection. we are saddened by the remembrance of how quickly they chenged and how speedily their crys of hosanna gave place to that revengeful one of "crucify." for we are told that the voices of children amplified those of their parents in condemning Our Lord to the cross. Yet, those same children were as sincere in their praise on Palm Sunday as our Busbies who have made their first Holy Communion have been in the welcomes of love and delight they have given Our Sacramental King, but we do not want our First Communicants of the bush to be ever guilty of recording a similar sequel of blind hatred against the gentle Saviour whose Precious Blood has been shed for them and us. If this is to be pre-vented. the Busbies' Scheme must follow up the training of the youthful minds it has been fruitful in initiating into the mysteries of our holy Faith, a following up, that is to be effected mainly through the correspondence lessons fostered by the Scheme, and all this means expense. Still, expense has never meant anything to Catholics where the cause of their religion is concorned. and therefore do not grow tired e r one who pleads so unceasingly on behalf of this most necessary and apostolic mission of the West, and do not grow tired either of being generous and self sacrificing. Our churches and schools here are equal to any, and if they are our pride the boast is due mainly to yourselves who, under God. l's ye financed and continue to finance all things that are dependent on you. are more to God than material buildings, and in striving to build up the souls of the children in the hush we are building up decaying temples of the Holy Ghost•. who will in turn continue to extend His Kitt dem when you and T are dead.

A Ditty to the Little Boys at Mary's Mount. You sent me some fruit in a case made of wood, And oh! it was good, it was very, very good; Lemons to keep me from growing too flaccid, Apples to give me a little more acid. And grapes that looked luscious as grapes of old Spain. The Wet Blanket peeped and she smiled, how she smiled, As she said in a voice that has wise ones beguiled, "Now we'll have apple pie, lemon with our fish, And grapes in quantities the greediest could wish," But even as I listened I got a sudden pain. I thought, my young nephews, to me you were true, And the big case of fruit would seem like it too, But where is the feather you promised for my hat It never came for Patrick's Day, and all my hopes went flat, When I sought amongst the fruit for it, and sought but in vain. I couldn't go out Patrick's Day in consequence of this, And you know that I expected to look a dream of bliss, In my green satin dress and my gold hat with the feather, I'd have looked like a daffodil bobbing in the weather, Or perhaps like a cowslip smiling at the rain. Then you made arrangements to meet me Monday morn, At ten on the Causeway you said you'd sound the horn, But tell me now. Redmond, Ernie, Ron and Bill, How could I be there without the pigeon's quill? For in the summer sunshine my hat I can't disdain.
