Hitlerism is slowly grinding under its heel the long-standing Socialist rule ot the German workers. One by one its standards are being lowered, and party A constitutions are being shattered. new Germany is in the making, and if the constructors are not overwhelmed by some unexpected cataelysra—such as another war, and that engineered from within—they will build a new nation less Imperial than the Prussian Empire, but a greater one—a more democratic Germany—and if the philosophy of Nazism is not carried to a foolish conclusion, if the spiritual is not made to subserve the national sense of this new Germanic culture, there lies before the new generation of German youth the promise of something The rebetter than semi-serfdom. putal demagogue is showing more capacity for government than those steel-ringed Chancellors who had a free hand in the years before his advent. But, as often happens, in the laying down of principles for the direction of a new reform, there comes a moment, and very often moments occur, when plans become disarranged by shortsighted authority and extraordinary human impulses. Regrettable and ob. jecitionable counsels interpose their mandates and injustices are registered which leave heartaches among sections of the community and discontent. The latter is the herald of mischief. It is a disrupter.

The greatest harm that can come to Hitlerism will come to it when it clashes with German Monarchists. The Monarchial spirit is not dead in Germany; it is too well beaten into the traditions of the Fatherland. There must come a compromise between the dictatorship of Hitler and the old Imperial regime that is still vital and holds a place in the affections of the German people.

Shakespeare's Religion at a conclusion about To arrive shakespeare's religion, we are bound consider the meagre facts and first to about his life, and especially inferences life, which have come down his early 1564, the year of Shakesto us- In the relapse of England peare's birth, and schism was outwardly into heresy complete after the and apparently years of thr! Catholic revival ve fi hort s under Mary, whose death and the accession of Elizabeth had taken place in 1558. The acts of supremacy and uniformity which definitely repudiated the authority of the Pope and conferred on Q ueen Elizabeth the title of "Supreme Governess of the Church," were promulgated in 1559 five years before the poet's birth. On the other hand, it must not he fagotten that a large proportion of the population of England (which then numbered almost three and a half millions) remained Catholic at heart and in sympathy. It i,;• indeed probable that two-thirds of the population were still attached to Catholicism up till the year 1570. when Pape Pius V. issued his sentence of excommunication againFrom that date the st Elizabeth. more violent persecution was increasingly put in force. Up till that date the new laws compelling attendance at Protestant churches had not been shictly enforced. Shakespeare's father was fined for "recusancy" (that is to say, for abstention from the Protestant services), and his mother belonged to a family, the head of which was Ed ward Arden, who, in 15q3. was martyred by hanging. Thus we have a strong presumption that Shakespeare's parent z were still Catholics at heart when the poet was born. There is no evidence that Shakespeare was educated at Stratford gram mar school, although his biographers and commentators almost invariably astume that this was the case. I think it is quite possible that he was educated at home by a Catholic priest. In any case, the balance of probability is that Shakespeare was brought up a Ca tholic. • In Shakespeare's thirt y-seven plays (leaving out the parts of l-Teney VI. and Henry VIII.. which are generally admitted not to be by his hand) the religion that preponderates, and the whole atmosphere are Christian and Catholic. The great majority of Shakespeare's characters- live i n a Christian, that is to say„ from Shakespeare's point of view, a Catholic at•mosphere. Even in plays whose scene is laid in pagan cniintries. Shakespeare often makes them express Christian and Catholic 5entiments, e.g., Duke • Theseur in "'Midsummer Night's Dream."

up a Catholic and remained one sec-
retly in an age when professed Catholicism meant horrible and bloody persecution. With the one exception of Confirmation, all the Sacraments are referred to in the plays. Alone among the dramatists of his period Shakespeare never attacked the Catholic Church. While Marlowe, Peele, Greene, Lodge, Dekker and others vied with each other in heaping every kind of vile abuse and impudent calumny on the Church, Shakespeare, to his enormous credit, invariably treated the Church with respect and reverence. His Protestant clergymen, Sir Na. thaniel, Sir Oliver Martext, Sir Hugh Evans, are all buffoons and contemptible persons, in marked contrast to the noble portraits of Catholic priests which he has given us in the saintly Friar Laurence and Friar Francis. Shakespeare's determination to avoid attacking the Church is strikingly indicated by the fact that when writing his play, "King John," which was modelled on the old play, "The Troublesome Raigne of King John," while he follows the original play closely in the story, he cuts out all the abuse and calumny directed at the Pope and the Church, the abominable scene where Falconbridge. the Bastard, breaks into a Franciscan house and the coarse and indecent events which are thereupon eoacted. The whole scene in Shakespeare's version is completely cut out Chanoine Looten, the author of the best and most learned book atout Shakespeare's religion that has ever been written, 'Shakespeare Et La Religion." points out that the original play. "The Troublesome Raigne of King John," dates from 1591. and that in that year Shakespeare was engaged in writing his play. "Romeo and Juliet." whose action is developed in an entirely Catholic atmosphere. "Is it only by chance." says Father Looten. "that the Father Laurence of Shakespeare'; play hears the same name as the monk who is so brutally insulted in "The Troublesome Raigne '" Assuredly not Shakespeare thus makes noble amends t o the Franciscans. whom he loved and revered. It is safe to say that one person in a million has ever heard of thc Father Laurence of 'The Troublesome Raigne,' whereas the name of Father Laurence. the gentle and heroic priest of 'Romeo and Juliet.' is enshrined for ever in the hearts of all the legion of those who love Shakespeare Thus does truth prevail over lies and malice' It is also Father Looten who has pointed out that Shakespeare's knowledge of the Catholic Catechism is proved by the passage in "The Merchant of -Venice." where Antonio says

that the Devil can quote Scripture for his purpose. This expression occurs in Saint Jerome's dialogue with the Luciferians, and a passage in the Catechism which rejects private interpretation of the Scriptures invokes the authority of Saint Jerome in this connection. One might quote instance after instance of Shakespeare's contempt for Protestantism and for the Puritanism, which was one of its first off-shoots. He fixed, for example, on Sir John Oldcastle, who was regarded as a "Protestant martyr" by the Lollards and their successors as the prototype of his great comic figure Falstaff, the drunken. cowardly, boasting, lying old scoundrel, whose only redeeming point was his wit. In the first edition of 'Henry IV." (1597), the name of Sir John Old• castle was changed to Sir John Falstaff. and Shakespeare in the epilogue to the play (obviously as the result of an official order) disclaims any intention of attacking Sir John Oldcastle. He says: "for Oldcastle died a martyr and this is not the man." Again he girds at Puritanism in the guise of Malvolio, and fiercely attacks it in the person of Angelo. Enough has been said. I hope, to show that any impartial reader of Shakespeare who is not prejudiced can. not fail to see the overwhelming lean. ing towards Catholicism as against Protestantism or Puritanism, which he exhibits over and over again. I cannot bring myself to believe with the Chanoine Looten that the evidence of the later plays is enough to force one into a belief that Shakespeare lost his faith altogether and, under the influence of Montagne. became more or less an agnostic. I cannot see in "Hamlet" any signs of atheism or of unbelief on the part of the author, even if Icould see them in the case of Hamle-z himself. It seems to me that Hamlet's doubts and fears remain within the scope of a Catholic. He hesitates to kill his uncle (though as the rightful king of Denmark he has the judicial power and right to execute a murderer and a usurper) only because he cannot be perfectly certain that the ghost of his father is nbt an illusion ot the Devil That hesitation is surely perfectly consistent with Catholic. ism. If I cannot see any certain evidence of Shakespeare's relapse from Catholicism in "Hamlet" neither can I see it in Othello or even in "King Lear" and "Timon of Athens." Shakespeare was not a martyr, and he would not 'and did not, face the full results of openly professmg Catholicism. doubt, in consequence, his faith grew

cold or luke-warm, but in the absence of any evidence to the contrary, I shall continue to believe that he always remained a Catholic at heart and that he retired from the world at the height of his fame and prosperity in order to prepare himself for a Catholic death. He went to Stratford, "where every third thought shall be my grave," and I take great comfort from the words in his will: "First,I commend my smile into Christe, my Saviour to be made partaker of lyfe everlastinge." There is nothing definitely Catholic about that. A Protestant might have said just as much, or as little. But it is, at any rate. entirely Christian and absolutely excludes the "Free-thinking," or 'agnosticism," with which so many "eminent Shakespearian scholars" would like to endow the greatest poet who ever lived. Imaintain that to Shakespeare Christianity meant Catholicism and nothing else, and that if he died a Christian he died a Catholic. Not in the church of Sir Oliver Mactext and the other "hedge-priests" for whom he had so much contempt, but in the Church of the Franciscans, whom he loved and honoured and enshrined.

Their strength lay in the men's te rn. although their girls gave a very good Ted Conway, account of themselves. of W:valkatchem, the winner of the recent Country Tennis Week, was their first man, and proved a tower of strength. The other members of the team also performed creditably. Kellerberrin's success reflects great credit on Father Doyle, who went to a great deal of trouble and tsavelled many miles to build up the team.

The past president of the Association (Mr. Joe Edwards) made the presentation. He was supported be the President (Mr. Jim Tully), and the Vice-President (Mr. Dave McGillivray), and Rev.

commercial value. His name stands high with the scientific world, especially with the profession of chemistry. In a new book, "America Self-Contained," Samuel Crowther shows how the United States has practically made itself self-sufficient through inventions and scientific progress. The author writes: To-day our only absolutely essential import is rubber. . . . We are producing a synthetic rubber which is not merely an imitation rubber, but a new substance which can do anything rubber can do, because it does not deteriorate in contact with vegetable or mineral oils and is less influenced than natural rubber by heat, light, and the oxygen of the air. ,At the present time natural rubber is selling for almost nothing, while synthetic rubber is around a dollar a pound. But even at that price, the first factory producing it has been sold out for uses where natural rubber is unsatisfactory. Among these uses are gasolene hose for aircraft, oil resisting caskets and packing, insulated wire for certain purposes, printers' rollers, and oil storage tank seals. It is believed that on a volume basis the synthetic rubber can be made to sell at not over 25 cents a pound. The pioneer work in this successful synthetic rubber was done by a Catholic priest the Rev. Julius A. Nieuwland, C S.C., Professor of Chemistry at Notre Dame niversity.

reached the forties, but his early struggles did not breed pushfulness. From sordid climbing he stood aloof with a serene detachment, and success found him neither arrogant nor embittered. This nobility of mind finds its reflection in his music, which will remain for all time a priceless national heritage." A large gathering of Catholic artists, architects, craftsmen, and others of the Catholic Guild of Artists, met at the Cathedral Hall, Westminster, recently, when a paper was read by Mr. James O'Hanlon Hughes, F.R.I.B.A., on "Pugin and the Liturgical Apostolate." This year is the centenary of the reception into the Catholic Church of Augustus Welby Pugin. "I think it is fitting," said Mr. Hughes, "that 01.17 Guild should commemorate the centenary of ,the coming home of one who was the first active lay apostle of the revival of the Liturgy, and perhaps the first thinker to shake the educated English mind out of the complacency of its apostasy. His was the faith that could move mountains, and raise them up to the glory of God. His imagination glowed with glorious visions of a resurrected Faith overflowing in Christian Art. He was received in a small room into a despised society of the poor and the persecuted. Pugin's jife was dedicated to the revival of the Liturgy. For that he worked and pleaded, and it is fitting that the fact should be recalled in this centenary Year of his entry into the Church which he loved and served so well, from the time when he found his way into it at the age of 22—only five years after the passing of the historic Bill which emancipated Catholics from the cruel Penal laws—till he died at 40. burned out with the fire of the Faith that set his genius in flames."

CONTROLLING AMERICAN MONEY LORDS' POWER
Catholic Priest Praised for His Part in the Fight. Some interesting comments on the effect of the money policies initiated by President Roosevelt were offered by Congressman George G. Sadowski, of Michigan, during the debate in the House on the gold bill. He said, in part: "Due to our depreciated dollar and the depreciated currencies of other nations, we have suffered a tremendous disadvantage in the markets of the world. Our citizens have been driven to bankruptcy and suicide because they have been unable to pay debts that were accumulated when money was cheap. "I believe that the restoration or the normal purchasing power of our dollar will lead to the restoration of normal business in commerce, agriculture and industry. No creditor is entitled to a dollar that will purchase This more than the one he loaned. Pill gives back to the people of America the right to control their own We have been slaves and currency. We shall now gold was our master. make gold our servant. . . . "Those who controlled our gold have impoverished our citizens, corfissated our homes, closed our factories, and forced God-fearing, honest Americans into bread lines to beg for a bite to eat. They have used this control over gold real t o gather unto themselves the wealth of this nation, and paeperise They and make serfs of our citizens produce nothing and absorb everything. . . . 'I wish this bill went further, so that not only would we have control of our currency, but also complete ownThis ership of our banking system. bill is a step in the right direction, but I am not misled into the belief that it will cure all of our monetary troubles. This can never be done as long as we have privately-owned banks in this naThe banking business should tion. be nationalised, socialised if y ot will. They should be owned and operated 'Le the Federal Government. "I would like to see the interest paying game taken away from private bankers. I cannot understand why bankers, who do not own the :noney they lend, have the right to charge interest, or toll, on the use of money. It is this interest, or toll, that robs the manufacturer or merchant of their profit and the labourer of his wage. . . . "It is like the rake-off. . . . There is no reason why the money masters, the produce who bankers, w iyate nothing, are overloaded with wealth and power, while the good American citizen, who produces everything. is reduced to beggary. "Take away their banking privileges, take away their right to charge a toll on the producers of this country, exterminate that parasite called interest. Then we will have solved our troubles. Then, and only then, will you have honest distribution of wealth. . . .

A Talk with the People - The Douglas Social Credit Proposals" (Concluded) . (By "Veritas.1 In the preceding article, an outline was given of three of the four proposals for the reconstruction of the financial and cost accounting section of the Economic Structure, put forward The fourth proby Major Douglas. posal covers the "issue to every man and woman of a sufficiency of purchasing power, in the form of a draft, sum of money, or other means, which would enable the maintenance of a reasonable and respectable standard of bodily comfort. Such issue to be in the form of a national dividend, dependent on the productive wealth of the nation, and intended primarily to provide for those disemployed on account of the constantly increasing mechanisation of industry, and consequent dispensation of the need of human labour." The reason and motives underlying this proposal are due to the fact that ir any scheme which is to cover fully the needs of society, i.e., the community in general, provision in one form or another must be made to ensure as far as possible, that every human being without exception, whether of adult age or a minor, and whether of normal, atnorrnal, or sub-normal development, shall be able to obtain possession of at least the elemental necessaries to existence, on a scale to conform to the tacitly accepted code or standard of the It will be, civilisation prevailing. agreed that were we to revert to the ways and habits of our primeval ancestors, man would have an opportunity of securing for himself and his family the essentials to life of food and covering, by means of the hunt, the snare, or other means. and from the trees and brushwood provided by nature, he would be able to shape a rude shelter for his requirements, by simply taking possession of the materials he required. As. however, with our present-day conceptions of property and ownership, and the overlordship of the State, with its legislature and courts of justice, man may no longer lawfully lay claim to goods by simple right of conquest, hut he must, if he desires to maintain himself and his dependents, perform some share of the work in the community, which per the medium of our monetary reward system, entitles him to a certain effective demand on the activities of the community in its variouF spheres. Under this arrangement it is obvious that if an individual be prevented. due to one cause or another, from carrying out his share of the • commun. itv's work, he will not. normally. be in a position to exercise that effective demand just mentioned. Such then, is the position to-day, w hen due to a breakdown in the economic structure, employment in remunesative fields is denied to approximatele one-fifth of the wage and salary earning population. This disorganisation, due to the constantly increasing mechanisation of industry, is not of a temporary nature, but will be ever more and more in evidence, resulting in an army whose numbers will continue to mount, which cannot be oc. copied in active production. These are simple but incontrovertible facts, and unless we intend to forsake the harvester and the tractor, the t ypewriter and the telephone, and revert to methods of fifty and more years ago, they are facts which must be reckoned with in the only proper. logical, and equitable manner possible, that is. by the issue to those persons for whom industry has no use, of an amount of purchasing power which will enable them to live in decent fashion consistent with the national standard of living, and the nation's production o f real wealth. Tn addition to the foregoing, there is another aspect which calls for atten.

tion, and that is the community's justifiable right and claim to the cultura! heritage of our present civilisation, and the individual's share in that heritage. By this is meant the accumulated knowledge which has come down to us from our ancestors, particularly during the last century and a half through what is known as the "Industrial Era," prior to which, the advances and dis.coveries made by scientists and inventors, were not of very great material value to humanity. During the last hundred and fifty years, however, and particularly since the dawn of the present century, a veritable flood of inventions of all descriptions have been made which contributed in no small manner to the fund of knowledge at the disposal of mankind, thus enabling him to remove from his back the burdens he had carried from time immemorial, in his endeavour to p-ovide food, clothing, and shelter for himself and his family, and transfer them on to the backs of machines. Now, it cannot be too strongly emphasised that this fund of knowledge,
which is constantly being adclsd to, is not by any stretch of imaginatlon the exclusive property of any individual for their members of society to be personal benefit, bit, on the sontrary, the heritage of mankind, and therefore each member of the community is entitled to any benefits accruing from the application of such knowledge, which may ., be translated as a title to a certam amount of production, as the rightiul share of each individual, irrespective of whether he or she is actively employed in industry or not. The basis of the argument under consideration is, that production to -clay consists, not of plain unvarnished human effort alone. but of such effort plus a proportion of that common heritage of asciirnulated knowledge. 'Moreover, in production, the part played by human e ffor. is ever on the decrease, applied knowledge, as invention supersede': invei,tion, comes more and mole :nto t;ie foreground, thus justifying ever mere strongly the distributor of a `d:v:dend" from production.
,Again, there is another aspect which ji.stfies a grant lseing made, not only to the non-partics;psnts in active industry, but to every man, woman, and child, and that is the fact that, whereas formerly, human muscle power. i.e., human physical effort, or time-energy. was largely responsible .for production, to-day, by the consumption_in furnaces of coal, wood, and other combustibles: in the cylinders of internal combustion engines of oil, kerosene, petrol. etc.; by the turning of huge turbines by large flows ef water or wind, there is a transposition of solar energy due to the activity of the sun, into mechanical energy at the service of mankind. of which is mercilessly displacieg th muscle-power of old. ' This utilisation of an outside power other than man power in mattfrs connected with the community, i again clearly one in which the community as such, availing itself of this Ty wer. is entitled to an equitable share H its benefit. A little reflection on the position that must arise in a few decades when production will reach a much higher pitch of efficienoy and automaticness." will serve to trate the definite need for a means of giving effect to what may be described as an automatic claim to a share in the fruits of production. The foregoing would appear to state a very clear case for the need of what can be termed a gift of purchasing power, to the entire community, not in the form of a charity or a dole, but simply as a straight-out right to which Following the recipient is entitled. on this, the next question that arises is how, and out of what fund this measure of purchasing power required will he obtained, who is going to "pay" for These and other matit, and so on. ters will he dealt with in the succeeding and final article of the series LOOK!

MAORI WELCOME TO ARCHBISHOP REDWOOD
Accompanied by over a hundred of the clergy, and as many laity, his Grace Archbishop Redwood during his jubi, lee celebrations, visitea the Otaki a. tholic Maori Mission, founded in l844, A typical Maori welcome awaited him at historic Puke Karaka, col/1mm. ing with a stirring haka on the narae led by Mr. Taite Te Tomo, M.P., in fd native costume. His Grace was presented with a Maori mat by the Ilfs, s toner (Rev. Father Riordan, SI.), and welcoming speeches in Maori fo1. lowed, the speakers being Rev. Toko Aiuta, Te Muera, retired Anglican ess. sionary, Wai Marama Tawiici Rangi, representing the East Coast Natives, a striking figure in Maori garb, and Mr, Taite Te Ton . The speeches were in. terpreted by Rev. Paul Te -Nfuera. Father Riordan gave an impressive address, expressing appreciation of the visit, and also voicing the hope that His Grace would be spared to raise a member of the Maori race to the dignity of the priesthood of the Catholic Church and thus. bring a crowning joy to the people who loved him. Replying, Archbishco Redwood said that the reception and many memories which had been recalled by the speak. ers touched him very much. He re ferred to the work of the early missionaries, and hoped that God would shower down His grace and bring etes nal happiness to the Maori people. He would always keep a happy memory of the occasion. His Grace then gave the Apostolic Blessing to the mission, after which prominent Maoris were introduced. Among those present were Rev. Father Melu, formerly for over sixty years in charge of the Otaki Mission district. Mr. T. O'Rourke, Mayor of Otaki. and many local residents. Luncheon and a Maori concert followed

As a Roman citizen he also bore the Latin name of Paul. • In his preaching to the Gentiles, he adopted the name Paul, especially as the name Saul had a ludicrous meaning in Greek. He appears in the Gospel narrative, as a young man, who held the garments of those who stoned Stephen the Deacon to death. In the Acts of the Apostles we read three accounts of his conversion, as he rode from Jerusalem to Damascus carrying letters fur the further persecution of Christians. A s the Apostle of the Gentiles, he is t he central and dominating figure of the early missionary 'years of the Church. He looms large on the canvass painted by St. Luke, the historian oi the newly born Church, and in his own 14 Pauline epistles sise draw near to him, and learn to know what manner of man he was. In presenting St. Paul to you as a model, I select those qualities that I believe are most applicable to members of the learned professions, and to University students. First.

There stood the Acropolis, still intact, girt about and shining with the same splendour as in the days of Pericles—the purest thing ever created by the religious gcnius of Greece, and the most perfect work of art ever embodied upon our earth. Of the many monuments that met his gaze, more majestic than all the rest, was the Parthenon, rising up before his face like the veritable throne oi human wisdom, all in a blaze of beauty which dazzled men's eyes. "Athenians," he began, "I perceive that in all things you are religious beyond measure. Indeed, as I was passing through your streets, and observing the objects of your worship.I found an altar on which is written: "To the unknown God," whom you honour without knowing Him, He it is whom I de d are unto you." Lest his words should fade from their memories, he addressed them in his Epistle to the Romans, and meeting them on their own ground of philosophy, he showed that what was best in their thought was included in the new ,science he would teach them, i.e.. "the knowledge of the Living God.and of Jesus Chrust whom He had sent." A much travelled man. speaking Latin. Greek, and Hebrew. his discourses startled Festus, the Roman placeman. into • saying,

The epistles or letters written by this man are acknowledged a s authentic by the most exacting critics. Hence no shadows of doubt or conjecture darken our approach to him: he stands out in the clear morning light of history, eager and anxious to meet us.
Paul, the Scholar. To have sat at the feet of Gamaliel was the University hall mark of his day: a pupil of the first Teacher in Jerusalem, a student of the foremost school-, such is his record. Like many of you. he moved in academic circles, and for that reason I propose him as a subject worthy of your attention and study. We see the application of that discipline of the mind at the feet of Gamaliel, when his missionary steps guided him through Athens, the birthWho is This Man? place of the finest culture that man Moving through the And Who is this man upon whom I has known. have dared to bestow the title of the streets, with characteristic singleness of manliest man that ever lived?

A Man's Man. The world still bows its head before a brave man. Paul was a man's man, if ever one lived. Take one instance in his colourful career, the shipwreck off Malta, described so graphically by St. Luke. Paul was a prisoner en route to Rome. For 14 days a storm raged and tossed the boat as a cork on its waters. The cargo was thrown overboard. The practiced ears of the sailors detected the roar of the breakers: soundings taken made it evident that the ship was approaching the rocks and would flounder. The sailors grew pannicky and proceeded to lower a boat without waiting for dawn. Paul warned the soldiers on board that if the sailors deserted the ship all would surely be lost. The soldiers drew their swords. it away the ropes, letting the boat fall ;nto the sea.

Perth C.Y.M.S. Most Successful Evening Last Monday. The most successful social e-ening ever held by the C.Y.M.S. took place on Monday last, at the Cathedral Hall. A record crowd, consisting of the friends of Mr. Jack Nolan and Miss Rita O'Donoghue, eloquently proclaimed the popularity of the couple in honorr of whom the entertainment was ciganised. Mr. Nolan is to be mariied to Miss Rita on next Wednesday at the Highgate Hill Church. The evening was passed in songs and dancing, the former being contributed by Messrs. Cculahan. Dunne and Douglas. Miss Donovan was accompaniste. while Misses Clune and McMahon took it in turn to play for the dances, assisted by Miss Calanan on the violin. The members of the Society made a prosentation to Mr. Nolan, and the friends of the bride-to-be similarly honotned Miss O'Donoghue. rinthusiastie Opening of Dance Season. Last Tuesday saw the first of our Society dances for the season. It took the form of a novelty carnival, at which Miss D'Arcy's orchestra supplied the music. A good crowd attended, and very obviously enjoyed themselves. We hope that those present will continue their patronage on each successive Tuesday night. Our deepest thanks are due for both Monday and Tuesday nights to the good ladies who did everything in the way of preparing the suppe-r. Next Monday a Sporting Lecture.

St. Mary's Hall on last Tuesday night, April 10. the opening night of the season, was throbbing life with fun and innocent gaiety. The hall, lavishly and artistically decorated. thanks to the skill and patience of Mr. Frank Boylan and his assistants, and. brilliantly lighted, presented a scene of entrancing beauty. The Attendance. On making inquiries. I was informed that both halls—the euchre and the dance hall—had bumper houses. The Dance Hall was thronged with youthful dancers, gracefully and beautifully dressed and frocked. who danced to their heart's content to the strains of the best music in the land, Miss Doreen D'Arcy's orchestra, on a floor that was all that it was claimed to be---:"a perfect fiooi." A dainty supper, served just before eleven o'clock. was enjoyed by all. Mr. Frank Boylan. our popular MC., was a happy man as he stood on the landing of the staircase and surveyed the entrancing scene. The parish that can provide such a break on the week's cares and anxieties. on the monotony of weekly life: the _parish that can provide such an oasis in the worries of daily life—a happy valley, so to say, on the monotony of life, is indeed a happy parish. St. Marv's parish is proud, and justly proud. of St. Mary's weekly You may •travel the wide dance. world over, and, for the money, you will find nothing better.

On Tuesday night last there was a grand attendance, notwithstanding the had times. We had a really great night; strenuous hard play, hut quite fair, and not a ripple of unpleasantness on our night's enjoyment. We had a great night, and, of course, we are all coming again. Mrs. Martin, a hardened veteran, who has been with us in season and out of season for the past 15 years, with 11 games out of 12, carried off the first prize, and was paid £2 2s. Mesdames Grace, Goodman. Pekin, and Mr. Watson, with 10 games, tied for 2nd. prize. Mr. Casey was in charge last Tuesday night, and mentioned the fact that they were now on their sixteenth year of unbroken success. They could rest assured of two things, even though the stars in the heavens should fail. that: (1) Their euchre party would be held regularly every week of the season, and (2). that the money prizes would be, as they have been for the past 15 years, paid in full. The admission to the euchre party is only 1/6 (no tax). Last Tuesday night the lucky table prize was won by table No 11. The Prize Packet, which is being organised by Rev.

Religion in the University The seventh annual General Communion of the Newman Society, which took place last Sunday at the Cathedral, is proof sufficient of the practical work the Society is accomplishing in the West. It was assuredly one' of the most inspiring functions that has yet The members of the learned profesgraced our new Cathedral. sions, who recognise as their ultimate standard the law of God, are the main bulwarks against the forces of false knowledge which would corrupt society, and their practical demonstration of Faith last Sunday speaks well for the future of the Catholic community. In the matter of education, the first care of the Church has ever been to ,foster the religious atmosphere, and make ample provision for the spiritual culture of her pupils. With regard to University education, that ideal is maintained chiefly by a Catholic residential college within the University—or where that is not feasible, by the organisation of a vigorous Newman Society. • • It has often been the subject of complaint that the University makes no provision for the study of religion. That would certainly be a serious limitation were it not for the fact that so many aifferent denominations attend it. In such a circumstance, it would be impossible to suit all tastes, besides being very undesirable and futile from the Catholic point of view, by establishing; as was recently suggested, a common Chair of Theology. For, if Christianity is to have any meaning, it must be that it teaches a definite code of doctrine, and a consistent rule of morals, without any alternative or compromise. Unfortunately, many sects have lost this essential conception of the binding force of religion. Yet it was on this principle that Christianity was first founded. No body of people has fought against this campaign of comA test case arose in the estabpromise more than the Catholic. lishment of the secular school system. The Church has always refused to avail of such educational facilities in the primary and secondary schools, because of its absolute insistence on the necessity of a definite and consistent religious training for its subjects. She has also secured, wherever possible, the same facilities for the University, either by building her own, or by establishing Catholic Colleges within the University itself, where the religious training of Beher students is brought into line with their secular studies. fore the Reformation the Universities were Christian, or nothing, where science was ever considered the humble handmaid of religion. A great change has been effected since then. From State school to High school, and from High school to University, education has been _practically secularised. and the Church has had tc alter her methods to suit the changing circumstances. The other churches have for the most part been content to make use of the secular system. Now they are being gradually led to see the folly of their procedure, and the wisdom of the Catholic Church, in safeguarding religion at all costs. They are being compelled to provide some semblance of religion in the schools, in.order to prevent an ultimate return to paganism. It is a step in the right direction, but it does not yet nearly approach the ideal. They have not yet apparently realised the necessity of a definite doctrinal t eaching, or, if they have, they are too keen on attaining superficial unity with other churches, to put that principle into practice. Until that happy (lay arrives, religion will have railed to come into its own, and science will continue to be its master, rather than its servant. The Newman Society aims at that principle in theory, and last Sunday's inspiring profession ofFaith leaves no doubt as to its ability to put it into practice. It is well that such is the happy position. for there was never greater need of religious-minded graduates than to-day—when Forum and Press alike are wont to foster principles that are entirely at variance with faith and morals. The work of the University graduate in counteracting this baneful tendency will only be successful in so far as he has reason for the Faith that is in him, and it is, therefore, very gratifying to know that the Newman Society, which has precisely that very object in view, is making such rapid progress towards achievement.
•
Cremation The matter of a Crematorium for Perth has again been brought before the Minister for Health. It is understood, of course, that Cathokcs will . have nothing to do with such a pagan observance. Not indeed that cremation is directly opposed to any doctrine of faith—for it is not—but because of the circumstances regarding the revival of this pagan custom, which have made it a public profession of irreligion and materialism. Cremation has been put forward as though it were a symbol of progress and culture. It is far from it. Only in very rare cases have civilised peoples allowed the practice. The Persians punished with death such as attempted it; the Babylonians embalmed their dead—but would not tolerate cremation. It was unknown among the Jews of the Old Law, or any of the Semitic races for all that. The Greeks and Romans—pagan as they were—varied in their practice according to their views of the after life. Those who believed in a future world, such as we Those who did profess, buried their (lead in the ordinary way. not practised cremation. But., according to Cicero, the older practice of burial was never superseded. • • • By the fifth centnry the influence of Christianity had abolished the pagan custom.

Christian Brothers Bereaved DEATH OF REV. BROTHER P RUNSTER. By the death of the Rev. Brother William Alphonsus Prunster, which took place at York last Thursday week, the Christian Brothers have lost a zealous and highly efficient member of their Congregation, and the boys of Clcntarf Orphanage a kind and devoted friend. Brother Prunster was born at Guildford sixty-three years ago, and was educated - by the Sisters of Mercy. On 'reaching manhood he was advised by Most Rev. Dr. Gibney to enter the Christian Brothers. When he had completed his noviceship, he was attached to the staff at the Novitiate House for several years, where his talents were utilised in training young aspirants in the manual arts. He had acquired a solid grasp of the building trades, and this knowledge rendered him a most useful member of his Order, and his superiors repeatedly appointed him clerk of works to guard their interests on many important buildings. He acted in this capacity in the building of Mt. Carmel College, Charters Tciwers (Q.), St. Kevin's, Oamaru (N.Z.), St. Vergil's , Hobart (Tas.), the beautiful chapels of St. Toseph's College, Nudgee (Q.), St. Patrick's College, Goulburn (N.S.W.); and the parochial schools at Goulburn and Geraldton; in extensive additions that were made to the Training Colege at Strathfielci (N.S.W.), and Rostrevor College, Adelaide. The fine ovals at St. Vergil's and Rostrevor were laid down under his directions. In all these works he served his Order well by his vigilance and firmness in having plans and specifications observed and agreed well with contractors and tradesmen, who could not but acimire 'his efficiency and fairness. He was a good judge of stock, and was little short of an expert in dairy and poultry matters, and in the growing of vegetables, fruits, and flowers.
CLOSE OF THE HOLY YEAR The Holy Year, commemorating the two thousandth anniversary of the Crucifixion, was brought to a solemn close on Easter Sunday, when His Holiness Pope Pius XI. closed the Holy Door. A stately procession of Cardinals and other Church dignitaries ri,oved, to the accompaniment of music from the silver trumpets, down the long aisles of St. Peter's and through the Jubilee Door. His Holiness was the last to leave, as he had been the first to enter when the Holy Year was proclaimed twelve months ago. In a short but very impressive ceremony the Pope, using a gold trowel, replaced the three gilded bricks which seal the door. After giving his Apostolic Blessing to the crowds of pilgrims assembled 'in the basilica, and in the piazza outside, His Holiness mounted the gestatorial chair and was borne up the Royal stairway to his own apartments in the Vatican. It was subsequently announced that the indulgences attached-to the Holy Year would be extended -luring this year to the whole world The Spread of Christianity-. The central committee of the Holy Year in a pamphlet.

Cottesloe Notes Very keen interest is being taken in the Presentation Convent Ball, to be held on May 30, 1934. The committee are working hard to make this year's function even better than last year. Quite a busy time was experienced at the committee meeting on Tuesday night last, in allottjng dates for various functions in aid of the ball funds. The first event, to be held in the Star of the Sea Hall, will be a monster bridge evening, -on Thursday, April 19. Arrangements have been made for the use of one of the school class rooms for euchre players. The usual Cottesloe high-class supper will be provided. Those desirous of booking a table, please ring F2411. An evening at the Hostel Manley, kindly loaned by Mrs. McGuigan, is being arranged for Friday, April 27. The committee is indebted to Mrs. T. Ahern, for the use of her home, and to the Catholic Young People's Club, fcr their offer to organise a house party a t Mrs. Ahern's residence on May 4 . A Children's Plain and Fancy Dress Ball is being organised by Mrs. Mc. Kenny and assistants for May 11. Cottesloe Beach parishioners are working up entertainments in aid of the ball funds. The committee appreciate very much the assistance rendered from this part of the parish. The weekly euchre party will be held Or) Monday in each week as usual.

The Eucharistic Congress and the Children
41
One of the most impressive spectacles of the International Congress in Sydney, and indeed of all Eucharistic Congresses, was the children's Mass. The thousands of little children in their simple dress, the sweetness of their childish voices, make an impression that is perhaps even more striking than the sight of a great body of men gathered together for the glory of God. The vision of all these little children gathered around His Throne must be very pleasing to Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament, also because He is the same God Who once said: "Suffer the little children to come unto Me, and forbid them not." A s in other Congresses, so also in Melbourne, special arrangements are being made for the children's share in the great national demonstration of loyalty to the Blessed Sacrament. A special Mass for the children will be celebrated at the Show Grounds on Saturday, December 8—the Feast of the Immaculate Conception—and a visiting Bishop will preach for the occaAll the children in Catholic sion. schools from Grade V. upwards will be An invitation present at the Mass. vil! be sent, also, to the children of Victorian dioceses outside Melbourne, for whom accommodation will be reserved when the number of those intending to be present is known.

ing that they had a right to be supported. Trouble was the logical sequel, and in one of the skirmishes a native woman was killed. The people thereupon determined to exterminate the trouble makers, and in the organised attack which ensued 12 Spirit Rollers were burned alive in their huts, and those who tried to escape were speared, including the "Prophet." Bishop Lawrence Balconi, Titular Bishop of Milasa, Vicar Apostolic of Hanchungfu, has been elected Soperior General of the Milan Foreign Mission Society at the General Chapter, which has just been concluded at Hongkong. Father Pastore, rector of the society's minor seminary, has been elected Vicar General. Fathers Lozza. Colli and Tragella Assistants General, and Father Risso Procurator General. Bishop Balconi thus succeeds Father Paul Manna during whose decennium as Superior General the society made much important progress. During these ten years. 140 priests and 20 brothers went to the various mission fields of the Institute in India and China, five new houses were opened in Italy, while in China the mission of Hanchungfu was annexed and a prefecture in Honan erected and turned over to the Chinese clergy. The new missions of Kengtung in Burma and Bezwada in India were erected into independent units. Baptisms administered during the decade in the territories staffed by the Milan Misisonaries number almost a million.

Catholic Youth Employment League At the end of March, the Catholic Youth Employment League completed a year of its existence. During that time approximately 450 youths (boys and girls) registered for employment. Up to the present time, according to r ecords. the Leaglie has obtained some 106 positions. Very satisfactory results have been experienced in bringing together Catholic employer and employee, and in no case where positions have eventuated has there been any complaint. A s the League has become known, the number of positions filled has increased weekly, and it is very necescars-, now that the organisation ,:as obtained a footing, that this excellent work should go on. As no charge is made, either tc employer or employee, the League is dependent for its upkeep on subscriptions, donations, etc., and at one period of last year it woull have become necessary to suspend operations had it not been for a small legacy left by a friend, and a trifling donation from the Lotteries Commission. However, it is unlikely that such windfalls will recur. To ensure continuance of the Leagtre's activities, all members of the League. and anyone wishing to become a member, are, therefore. requested to make a special effort to send along their annual subscription, which is now due. to the Secretary, at Cathedral Hall, at an early date. All unemployed boys and girls are asked to register. Although we do not receive a great many requests for boys and girls for clerical positions, it often happens that when such a request is made we find difficulty in providing a suitable girl or boy owing to lack of suitable registrations. From time to time we receive application for boys and girls in any and every capacity, and would suggest that every boy and girl register immediately and calf on the Secretary at frequent intervals.

Aunt Bessy's Nieces and Nephews SOME SOBER REFLECTIONS ON OUR SECOND EDITION. That these reflections are sober is not the fault of the one who has reflected. Rather let the blame be reflected on The Wet Blanket, who late last Sabbath eve accosted me with the usual cut-and-dried criticism of my ways and means. I sensed danger immediately I saw her heading towards me with an expression of countenance as frigid as an iceberg floating towards a stranded crew, consequently I was not quite overcome when she said to me in tones of impressive disgust: "Your Second Edition is a positive disgrace, and I think you ought to withdraw it before you make a further show of yourself before the people." Because the present depression has as yet had no bad effect on me, I murmured sentimentally: 'Oh, be not the first to discover A flaw in the fame of your friend." It earned the rebuke of "I am not We are sick looking at you joking. advertising still for Nine More Benefactors. Take it out for a week and put it back again, and then it might look a bit fresh." "It is rather slow motion," I said with abject air. "Slow motion, did you say?" went on "Why, the the Dampener Down. trouble is there isn't any motion about it at all." "Ah, well!" I reflected aloud, "the pool called Probatica never moved until an Angel of the Lord descended to stir it up, so maybe there's a hope still remaining." "Humph! You'll wait a long time if you are expecting an angel of the Lord to improve your position. If I were you I'd feel like the widow of Naim following her only son to the cemetery." ' Well. I don't feel that way at all,Ihastened to assure my monitor. "Ti tell you the truth. I feel like the widow of Nairn after Our Lord raised her son Things have happened since to life. last I held converse with you that have heartened me greatly." "What things?" said she. And seeing the frigidity grow less. I went on to tell her how I had spoken w ith the Old Timer. and how he had assured me that West Australia has lately realised over three million pounds for her wool, and if that doesn't sound prosperous for me then I'm no judge. After all, surely the white fleece of the souls of our Bushies is of more value than the perishable fleece of the sheep of this Western land, and if it is, the price we pay to preserve the faith in these souls can never be too The generosity of the first high. Twelve Special Benefactors, and their immediate response to an S.O.S. that was necessarily sent out, should assure the supporters of our Bushies that the Cause is worth while, and should move those who can to emulate the willing • - of co-operation that has distin"The Old guished the First Twelve.

"Well, well, ,how many wells make a river?" was the rude query. that followed. -Teacher forgot to tell ine that,- I answered meekly. but I've been also talking to a lady from Kalgoorlie who was at Esperance while the Buchies' School was on, and she said the Hand )- f God is on the work, and that if I had only seen the Busbies during the fortnight they spent there. I wouldn't grudge my efforts for the Scheme, so when one gets a tip like that. why s siouldn't one be determined to keep the Second Edition going? Besides, I have just had an urgent telephone message from the Vicar of Wakefield. and he desires me to reserve one month for him—what do you think about that "That I'd he ashamed of my life to take it!" "That's exactly what I told him, but Fe assured me it was better to let the Boshies have the benefit of it now than eive it to the Government when he is ;•• Karrakatta, and as I concur with h m there his name is going down for next December. Lastly, I have been ta'king to Queen Maeve." "Queen Maeve, Queen Maeve." came the echo, and who is Queen Mae4e?" "Shame on the daughter of Erin who k4loweth not Queen Maeve. or rather who bath not heard of her. for., of course, my dear, though vnti are my
senior, I couldn't expect you to have known the beautiful lady who lived about the time 100 B.C., and who was famous for her Amazonian qualities and her talent for building palaces. Have you never heard tell of Tara in Meath and Cruachan in Conact? 'Tis said that she built them both. It seems she is sorry for me, the beautiful lady, end seeing my inability to build up the Second Edition, her own sweet self has taken the month of April, so now how do you feel?" "All feeling has left me—the shock has been too much, but I hope you ex pressed your gratitude, for it has taken a country-woman of mine to lift you out of the bog." (Isn't it patient that even a Wet Blanket can veer round? CouldI say better e'en to Queen Maeve than Columbkille said long ago to one who was returning to Ireland: "Young traveller! . . . Take my prayer with thee, And my blessing, one part for Ireland-Seven times may she be blest-And the other for 'thee.'"

I have naught to envy that lucky Mr. McGinty for, in his winning of the charming Kitty O'Toole, but I must confess to envying the success of Francis Thompson's 1 egacy when, chancing last night to open the second volume of his poems, my eye was arrested by the statement that it was If I get the "sixteenth thousand." through the Second Edition of Special 'Benefasctors I will be lucky, and that is more than some other second editions have been—poor Abel, for instance—but now that April has bean rescued before its moon has passed.

Dear Harp That Once,—Thank you fcr the two, though the simple cross and not the cards will probably be the decoration when I get to the grace. Your French phrase has a fishy touch about it. I learnt what I know of that language from ',French without Tears," and the only strong phrase I painfully learnt to aay when treading the thorny path was, "Oh, George!" when the school dentist once took part of my mountain ridge away with a had tooth he was extracting. I was so severely reprimanded by the angelic attendant that my language has since been restrained. A PIOUS OLD LADY

And saved the pocket-ironer that you might have justly spent. I'm certain that your penance was not at times quite cushy. But I know that you performed it with hearts that were content.
