AUSTRIA Vienna's Museum of Sacred Art. ,.The new Museum of Sacred Art, Vienna, is of interest to all but especially to those of the Catholics, Germanic countries. The museum is located in a building adjacent to St. Stephen's Cathedral, and has been organised at the suggestion of His Eminence Theodore Cardnal Innitter, Archbishop of Vienna. Msgr. Johann Popp, pastor of St. has been appointed director.Stephen's, It was Msgr.

Catholic moral theology cannot consent to any form of Communism based upon the theory that property is a sin, or to any form of pacificiam that would condemn all war as unjust. This does not mean, however, that corm munal life is condemned as impossible: on the contrary, where it is a religious vocation, it is one of the ways to perfection. Nor does it mean that, even when war may be justifiable on the ground of natural right, it cannot be, or should not be. foresworn from supernatural charity." The Great Need.

The Vatican, the The authority, has not been silent. need is that men should listen to the voice of the Vicar of Christ. In other words, as Dr. Orchard remarked on the same occasion.

And the new war will wipe out civilisation, and, for all that we shall have our motor cars and our wireless and all the rest of our empty trappings of modern life, we shall return to barbarity. We may not eat one another. But we shall slay and destroy one another with a savagely ruthless efficiency. Red Cross conventions and restraints were pretty badly shattered in the last conflict. In the new, they will simply be non-existent, and the side which is the more thorough in savagery will be the victor. It will be warfare from the air, hailing down torturing death and demoniac destruction on the civilian populations. The issue will be fought out ,not so much in the trenches. where the manhood of the country lie huddled in peril of screaming, ripping death, but in the homes of the populace. whete the women and children shrink and tremble for the fate of husband and brother and father and lover. An Immediate Peril. And It is an appalling possibility. yet, to-day, it is something more than a possibility: it is an immediate peril. And the terrible, soul-shattering thing is that men talk of it lightly, as something of earl)' inevitability, as some. thing almost desirable! The spirit which pervades the world to-day is the spirit of utter recklessness, of insanity.

Hypocrisy in High Places. Yes, the poor really ought to be better than they are; they should be exemplary in their conduct, and satisfied with their lot. Yes ,and so should you, old money-bags, and so should you, dear old model of middle-class comfort and snobbery. In short all the members of the human race ought to be exemplary in conduct, patient in misfortune, charitable in riches, modelling their lives on the Gospel virtues. Unfortunately, they are not exemplary. and poverty at a certain degree positively conduces to lack of interest in religion and spiritual things. The rich in the midst of their riches forget the Faith: the incessant care of watching investments: the anxiety of adding to the yellow heap of gold. no matter how large it may be; the unceasing itch to add continually; the habit of seeing additions half-size, and deductions double size: the fear of loss and the desire of comfort—all these choke the soul and blind the inner eyes to the eternal values Many people. despite their material riches, really have no possessions because they do not understand the uses of things. But if wealth is a despoiler of the soul, 50 is poverty. A certain amount of comfort is necessary for virtue. To face a life on the breadline, as many are doing now, is a terrible thing. To see no hope of improvement for oneself and one's family, to see the little one's growing op without adequate shelter, clothing and nourishment. to see them unemployed from the day of leaving school. and know that culture is beyond them. to see them sinking lower in the social sale than their parents. and to continue day in and day out the struggle for existence in which the material rewards at best are insufficient for reasonable living and micennent of the moderate standards of one's time and countrY—these. too aim terrible blows at the soul. and stifle the desire of spiritual thines Realising these things. Christians endeavour to promote such social mea• sures as will enable the poor to lioe 'n decent conditions. with reasonable comfort, and in dwellings which will not inculcate a slave mentality, nor conduce to spiritual torpor and death 04W•40-4,4

deed, nothing is easier than to sit in judgment upon the poor, pronounce upon manifold defects, show how they are failing inexplicably to make UM of their fine spiritual opportunities, clictate for them an admirable code of conduct for their circumstances, and finally give reasons for washing one's hands of the whole troublesome question.

There were several instances of forfeiting last year. and this caused great die satisfaction amongst the teams to which the forfeits were given, as the members were deprived of their tennis: and after all the playing of competitive tennis is the principle object of the pennant competition. The first round of matches will he played on the 12th. and 13th. inst. The election of the selection committee was finalised, and Messrs. A. G. Herbert, T. AnderIon, and W. 0. Stainthorpe were appointed. The following were elected as the appeal board, namely: Messrs. J. Curran, T. Coonan, F. barcey, J. Edwards. and McDermott. A committee, consisting of Messrs. D. A. McGillivray. B. C. Hagarty. and J. Edwards, were appointed for the purpose of preparing rules governing the functioning of the appeal board. The report of the social committee was given by the Secretary, Mr. George Somers, and showed that several functions had been arranged and the prospects were good for a successful season from the,..locial point or view, and for the purpose of raising moneys to finance the sending of a team to the Interstate Carnival at Sydney, and for Association purposes generally. The annual social and presentation of trophies will be held at the Cathedral Hall on May 17. and it is hoped that His Grace the Archbishop will be able to be present. The President appealed strongly to delegates to organise the members of their respective clubs, in order to ensure a record attendance. Tie referred to the fact that last Year the attendance was not satisfactory. He also stated that every member entitled to receive a trophy should be present to receive it from the Archbishop. The annual Catholic Tennis Ball will be held at the Embassy on Wednesday. June 6, and the prospects are that it will be a wonderful success, even excelling last year's great function. After the ordinary Council meeting, a specially convened meeting was held at which life honourary membership was conferred on Mr. J. Edwards. the Past President, and it was decided to manifest the Association's regard for him by a presentation that will be made at the annual social on the 17th inst.

It was a great success, people coming from Harvey, Yarloop. and even from Brunswick .Iunction. The enthusiasm has since been kept alive by the long-expected re-opening of the Mill. The Dwellingup people also had cause to be proud of the St. Patrick's Ball. which is the Yearly church event. It was most successful, and as a result the church, which was one of the very few opened free of debt, is being rejuvenated—a mark of respect and obedience to Dr. Prendiville, who asked that it might be done

An Indian Layman on Catholic Action THE PAPACY AND INTERNATIONAL JUSTICE BACK TO CATHOLIC PRINCIPLES
A CHALLENGE TO LAITY
Men might like or hate the Pope of Rome; but, whatever they felt about him, the fact remained that never in any period of the world's history did the Pope exercise such power or such influence as at the present time. Sometimes people despaired of getting international justice, but, when they connected the two ideas—the Papacy and international justice—they saw the close relationship between the two.

Teachers Must Shakespeare Anniversary Celebrations Mexican Sign Pledge "THE MERCHANT OF VENICE" Presented by the Shakespeare Club The most successful production of the year was the presentation of -The Merchant of Venice," at His Majesty's Theatre, on the 27th. and 28th. of April.

The daily Press has lauded the actors and the acting, and particular emphasis has been laid on the charm of the scenery, the frocking, and the incidental music. To Mr Sydney Smith, under whose baton a full orchestra functioned, the vivacity ar d charm of the music must be cniefly credited, and he has added another to his list of recent successes.

ence, and whose love of the work as a fascinating hobby is evident, is Mr. Phil Jackson, who very capably portrayed the part of Bassanio. His clear ness and earnestness are highly corn mendable, and his acting has improse ed with every successive acquaintance His Bassanio was a life-like and natural portrayal, and gained the thoroughly deserved approval of the .audience. Many other names there were which merit notice, but space will but allow the sweet rendering of Jessica by Miss Sylvia George, and the vivacious Nerissa of Miss Muriel Bird. One almost wishes Shakespeare had given them more to do, in this delightful play. A final word—the outstanding character istic of the production to the writer's mind, was the clearness of enunciation, which set the audience at ease from the beginning. Secondly, the frocking and the scenery, particularly the seenery of the last act in Portia's garden It was aptly appropriate to the words of Lorenzo: "How sweet the moonlight sleeps upon this bank! Here will we sit and !et the sounds (.1 music Creep in our ears; soft stillness asel the night 2 Become the touches of sweet hat-mony." The Shakespeare Club has whetted our appetites for Shakespeare.

President Egan presided over a good attendance ot members. 132 sick pay-was passed to a member. Correspondence was read from St. Columba's Branch, regarding their procession and guard of honour on Max- 6. The members signified their intention of being present. The meeting carried a motion of protest a gainst the long time of waiting required by the U.F.S.C. Hospital Fund before new members were able to avail themselves of its benefits, and recommending that they revert to the old time of thirty days. Bro. Harvey, reporting on the Social and Sports Committee meeting. said that it was decided to hold over the inaugural annual ball c;11 next year. Bro. Finnegan reported - n the activities of the branch social committee, and said that a grand social had been arranged to be held in the I,ibrary Hal! on. Thursday.

The latest move to bar any religious influence from Miceican schools, and to confine their teachings to laic or socialistic tenets, is an insistence that teachers sign a pledge which in fact binds them to support the entire programme of a political party and to oppose anything which will interfere with that programme. A circular has been sent to each teacher in the official schools with the instruction that it be signed by the teacher and returned to the National Committee for Educational Reform which is composed of members of the Chamber of Deputies. Although the circular sent out by the National Committee for Educational Reform does not state that in signing it a teacher is pledging support of the National Revolutionary Party, and it might be contended that the signature was demanded only as an acknowledgment, yet the letter is so worded as to constitute a pledge no matter what the actual or implied intention of the committee. -Whereas the present Government of Mexico," the circular reads, "is the genuine representative of the Mexican Revolution, and whereas the idealogy followed up to now by the men of this Government is the synthesis of all the ideals which united those who sacrificed themselves in our struggles in the interest of the evolution sought for our country: -Because I am a servant of the State, I will work faithfully on its side to prevent obstacles presenting themselves in education affairs and, with it. will work with honesty and loyalty for the Mexican nation which so needs the forces of all its people, so that my work as an educator of the masses will be aloof from any movement that is not interlaced with the evolution of culture and progress so necessary to our nature."

PERTH, SATURDAY, MAY 5, 1934.
The Mother of God The whole world could not contain the books that might be written of the tl,r,!e years' public life of Our Divine Lord, said St. John the Evangelist. The same is true of the life of Our Lady. Yet we know that Sacred Scripture is noticeably silent about the Mother of God. That was evidently Mary's wish, in accordance with her deep humility. But for this scantiness of treatment, poste: ity has sought to make amends—for a whole saga of literature hzit • grown up through the ages, in honour of the Virgin Mother. It reached its climax in the Middle Ages, in its reverential literary Whatever was good or and artistic treatment of the Madonna. noble, or lovable, in womanhood was but a reflected light from the refulgence of Mary. She was the final object of knightly chivalry, the perfect type of valiant woman, and the Lady of all Christian men. But besides being the warp and woof of the literature of the Middle Ages, Mary, the Madonna, has received many tributes from Notwithstanding the Reformation, which broke modern poets. away with tradition, the cult of Mary was too deeply enshrined in Elizabethan literature, it is human nature to be extinguished. true, suffered the loss of this ideal; in the Puritan poets the loss is even more apparent, marking a complete break with the mediaeval. Nevertheless there were to be found outside the Fold writers whose inspiration could not be separated from tradition, and whose Protestantism could not be separated from Mary. Of these the outstanding example is Wordsworth, whose Sonnet on Our Lady is the most beautiful tribute to Our Lady ever penned. Its closing lines are known to everybody: Mother, whose virgin bosom was uncrossed, With the least shade of thought to sin allied, Woman above all women glorified, Our tainted nature's solitary boast, Pure as the foam on central ocean tosst. Catholic poets there have always been—from Dante to Thompson—who sang the glories of Mary, including such notable names as Crashaw, Hawker, Rosetti, and Coventry Pattnore. It was the latter who said that no good hymns had been written since the Council of Trent—for he, too, realised the destruction of religious ideals in the Reformation. It is only natural that Catholic poets shout(' take up Mary as their theme. For true thoughts of Mary are poetic thoughts. Those only who have not known her think coldly and tamely,2f her. To the pure and simple of heart—all things fair and lovely in nature are her symbols. She is the Queen of Heaven, and'of earth; the Star of the Sea, the Lily of the Valley, and the Rose without thorn. In the words of a poetic writer, she is "fair as the dawn, tender as love, and pure as a maiden's thoughts." What a depth of feeling has this lowly Virgin stirred in the hearts of men, and what infinite heights of sanctity has she scaled in Heaven, of whom all we know is that she was humble and chaste, and the Mother of Jesus. The charm with which the Month of May enwraps the earth and sky and sea, is Nature's tribute to Mary. To her belong all things pure and bright, as she walks the paths of Paradise. To her belong the love and reverence and devotion of all true children of the Church—for she is the Mother of God. Her fate is ever more allied to that of her Divine Son. Since He is the highest. the holiest, the purest who has ever walked the earth, she is the Mother of that majesty and holiness and purity. "Love," says Tiossuet. "is the cause of all we believe. God loved the world. Henceforth no mystery to me shall seem incredible. The Virgin Mother bears the fruit of God's love to me. He is in her bosom in the stable. He is in her arms when the Kings adore Him. He nestles close to her heart in the flight into ypt. With her He dwells at Nazareth, hidden in God." The sentiments of all hearts are revealed when in a final apostrophe he addresses Marv: "Thou hast borne I-Tim in thy heart. Thou hast followed Him from Beth• lehem to the Cross on Calvary. He 1.5 doubly thine—hy the holiect love and the divinest sorrow. Henceforth, forever. His adorers must he thy servants."

The name "Rogation." from the Latin word meaning to ask." explains the object viz., to beseech God for His grace and for temporal favours as well. These days are known as the Lesser Litanies to distinguish them from the Greater Litanies of April 25. but in practice there is no difference between them-as the same Litany is used.

Old Collegians' Concert at Victoria Square The usual success attended the Old Collegians' effort for the upkeep of their cot at St. Vincent's Foundling Home on Monday, April 30. On this occasion it took the form of a concert, in which remarkable talent was in evid,ance on the part of the members of the Association and of the elocution pupils at Victoria Square. The orchestra gave beautiful renderings of "Ich Liebe Dich" and of the Viennese Waltzes," reminding the audience of the cultured talent peculiar to the College. In the first part of the programme the audience was thrilled with two exquisite recitals by Miss U. Glance, L.T.C.L., first appearing, the acme of grace, as Juliet, in the "Potion scene from Romeo and Juliet," and later in the "Quarrel scene between Sir Peter and Lady Teazel" (School for Scandal). In the latter her pourtrayal of the two personalities was little short of amaz. ing: the dainty accents of Sir Peter's lady against the subdued angry tones of the old-world gentleman Miss M. Walsh, in her usual inimitable manner, recited "The Parson," and looked the part par excellence. To the music-lover, the instrumental trios made moments of delight, the rich meilcw notes of the 'cello vibrating to the soft flute-like violins in Elgar's "Salut d' amour" and in "Joun de beaute." "Serenade" (Toselli), as a popular 'lumber, was greatly appreciated. A Burmese story in song, "The Pagoda of Flowers," in which the frocking was particularly true to life in the gay silks and goudy trifles so dear to the heart of the Burman, was the feaaure of the evening. The curtain rose on a scene of the Shwe Dagon Pagoda, on the steps of which the action of the With stately gait and story passes. graceful movement, the chorus mourted the steps, and singing, passed into the Pagoda, pausing only for a moment to make a low obeisance to the Buddha and lay the floral tribute at th shrine.e A dainty flower girl 'Miss J.

Pol. lett. was a happy one, for the voice of the latter, vibrant with emotion, blertded in pleasing harmony with the deep melodious notes of the former throughout the numbers, which told the story of love renounced by Oomala, who had become a Pyin Sin (Buddhist priest'', and the desperate search by the dssertAt the closing ed maiden.

Germany and State Marriage ilerr Hitler is out to solve the unemployment problem in Germany, and has hit upon a novel plan. He believes with many others that women have displaced men in various avocations of life and considers that this is an invasion into the rights of men. The unemployment problem in Europe is to a large extent due to this deplorable fact. .The rightful place for the women is the home and the famBut in latter days along with ily. many novelties, came in the unwholesome and revolutionary idea that women ought to be given the same p:ace Tilell in public life. The result has been that women have largely figured in public offices and i9 every schere of human activity in almost e very advanced country, where former. h' such fields were held solely by men Family peace and social order and stability gradually diminished. Herr Hit. ler has clearly realised this situation, and is now offering opportunities for women to cherish greater interest in the home and the family, and thus remove the attraction they now have for employment. Under the Nazi scheme 300.000 such employed women are to be lured away from their jobs to keep a family and home which is their nate rz. place in life. The German f;. , y ernment have accordingly set apart 1:-.0 million marks to be granted to girls in the shape of matrimonial loans. The jobs they vacate will, of course, he fillcrl by men.
BISHOP CONDEMNS THE DOLE SYSTEM. The value of the allotment system. for which the Free State Government has provided facilities under a recently passed Act, and the evil of the dole, which by begetting a habit of idleness. became a source of grave spiritual danger, were commented upon by the Most Rev. Dr. Kinane. Bishop of Waterford and Lismore, on a recent Sunday, when he blessed sixteen plots of land allotted to unemployed by the W aterford Corporation, one of the first bodies to avail of the new facilities. The Bishop said that the undertaking was a very significant one and, if developed through the country, was likely to have important consequences However tolerable the system of doles, which had been adopted up to the present to relieve poverty and temporal distress, might be with regard to the aged and infirm, he thought all would agree that in regard to the able-bodied unemployed, it was most unsatisfactory and demoralising. The dole system was inimical to in dustry and thrift, and all those virtues and qualities that went to make good It, moreover, connoted a citizens. want of occupation and begot the habit of idleness, and in that way became a It source of great spiritual danger. was also out of harmony with the Divine decree. He congratulated the Corporation on their initiative, foresight, and practical charity. and said that the system adopted by them did not involve the evirs which were bound up with the dole sys. tem, and the workman could accept it without injury to his dignity or self respect. The allotment scheme, if developed, would be a very effective remedy for distress, and was an indication that there was an awakeninz to the shortcomings of the dole system. and that ultimately in the case o'f able-bodied workmen come other system would be provided.

Amid scenes. of pageantry and popular welcome, Mr. %V. W. McDowell, the new United States Minister to the Free State, recently rode through the city from the American Ministry at Phoenix Park and presented his Letters of Credence to the President oi the Executive Council at Government Buildings, Dublin. LOOSE THINKING AND TA.LKING. The Right Rev. Matthew Cullen, Bishop of Kildare and Leighlin, present at the Armagh dinner of the Knockbeg C *)llegc Union, Carlow, stated that there was much loose thinking and loose talk in the country, but that the Catholic Colleges were doing their best to eradicate these conditions by giving their young men a thorough grounding in the principles of their religion before sending them out into the world. The Bishop said that a movement had been projected for the establishment of a general union of the Unions of Catholic Secondary Colleges in Ireland. and that it was likely to materialise ir When such a union t he near future. took place a wide field for Catholic Action would be opened up, he said. The Bishop advised young men who undertook to work for the cause of Catholic Action to keep in the forefront of all their actions, the virtue of charity. That virtue was not sufficiently practised in Ireland to-day, he said.

The whole end of spiritual meditation should be to have it followed by good actions; for in meditation the soul considers how and what she must do to please God, and how she must show by her work the love she bears Teresa. God forms His saints as He chooses They are all made to play their part in His order, to which they re all subject. This submission is the true 4-abandonment, it is the most per(ect path.—Pere de Succade, 0 most Blessed Virgin, as it is impossible for anyone to be .saved. dolled by thee, so it is impossible for him to perish who turns to thee and is :larded by thee.—St. Anselm. There is no knowledge more intrinsi rally true than that which is written in our own conscience—that of not doing to others what we would not suffer in unselves. To live in God's presence is the only way to perfection. When we lose sight of Him we walk in the dark, we c400se shadows for substances, we fall into snares and errors, we are exposed to our enemies, our infirmities, etc. lie have need of poetry in the midst - f this cold, prosaic world and, at the one time, of a philosophy to give eality to our ideal conceptions—of a nion of doctrines which shall be the Ase and the rule of our studies and actions.

'
Whether we be walking in the publk streets or dealing with our neighbour, or occupied in any manual work, or taking our meals, or rising in the morning in every petty detail, in fact, of our daily duties, we may profitallv converse with God. And why should not the earnest i :hristian in all the various circumstances of life lift up his mind to and implore His help with that beautiful prayer of holy David which the early monks had ever in their mouths. "0 God, come to my assistance! 0 Lord, make haste to help me," or again to ask for purity of heart, "Create a clean heart in me, 0 God, and renew a right spirit within me,' • or to manifest to God our desire of possessing Him, "As the hart panteth after the fountains of water, so my soul panteth after Thee, 0 God." or to crave forgiveness for all the offences by which we daily displease Him, "Have mercy," or to declare the conformity of our will with that of God, in whatever may befall us. "Teach me to do Thy will, for Thou art my God:" "Not my will hut Thine be done: Not as I will. but as Thou wilt." -GUARD AGAINST COWARDICE. Blessed Margaret Mary. at the time sht had two whitlows. confessed that shr really only suffered from the hidden one. The other, which she was unable to hide, excited pity and made her an object of compassion. It ;s indeed a very natural feeling, this desire that people should know of our aches and pains. but in giving way to it we play the coward.—St. Therese of Lisieux. I N A CORNER WITH GOD. The greatest thing a man's friends can do for him is to drive him into a cornet with God: to be so unjust to him as to make him understand that God alone is essential to mortal man." So wrote a popular writer some twenty years .ago. That the financial strains of to-day, the disappointments. the privations, have proved to many to be such friends is shown by the fact that attendance at Retreat Houses is larger than ever. Many of us have been driven into a corner with God. We have found that we cannot afford NOT to spend time or money for the rich values to be gained by spiritual union for a few days in "a little corner with God." HEA.LING.

THE WISDOM OF FATHER DEGEN Enforced subjugation of the workers l v their employers often sails under t he false colours of "co-operation." The independence ,f the modern young woman makes chivalry on the part of men appear unwelcome. If democratic government is inefficient. it is because people don't go to the polls. or vote like a flock of sheep. The man with a black coat is just as much a worker as the man who takes his coat off. Conscription, which makes every man a soldier, produces war-minded nations. in which public interests are viewed in terms of attack and defence. The Church requires less from us in the way of bodily mortification during Lent than is voluntarily undertaken by athletes in training or by ladies n a slimming diet.

I mentioned that we had the blessing and approbation of His 'Grace the Archbishop—that is our spiritual uplift, but I cannot conclude this without adding a word of very deep appreciation of him who has been a constant benefactor to the Bushies; in fact, as far as my knowledge goes, their most generous one. and the generosity of Archbishop Clune has been seconded by that of Archbishop Prendiville and the priests From my heart of this Archdiocese. I thank them all. Thanks be to God for the glory of tht. Catholic Church—her Priesthood! In my childhood the shadow of the priest in the doorway of my home was as the shadoav of God Himself, and at every turn of life's road it has been the priest of God who has upheld me in times of trial, cheered me in hours of sorrow, and made more bright and "Life on earth is all a warfare. more holy the joys that have come my Foes within and foes without." way.

Esperance is without the spiritual help of a resident priest Father Cunningha:n has been assured that the Cornerites who have received Busbies' addresses will be faithful and regular in the forwarding of the.r papers.):— The Presbytery, West Perth. Dear Aunt Bessy,-1 must hasten to thank all those kind and generous persons who responded so quickly to the appeal to "adopt- the isolated children of the Esperance district. I would like to convey in the children's own words their delight at receiving each week the Catholic papers, and also their uatitude to their kind benefactors. Furthermore.. I want to tell these good people what a grand act of charity they are performing in keeping these children posted with Catholic news, Catholic practices, and the Catholic spirit. The value of a Catholic paper in their homes cannot be expressed in words. The effects, we hope. will beat truit springing up into life everlasting. I wish to thank vu, Aunt Bessy, for making the appeal, and to tell you it has brought a further spark of joy into many little homes in the bush. F ATHER CUNNINGHAM. --Re "Adoption of Bushies."

THE RECORD.
In the Foreign Mission Field (Fides Service to "The Record.") Bishop Tardy, Vicar Apostolic of Gabon, in French Equatorial Africa, must spend two-thirds of the year in travel to keep in contact with his men, so vast is his territory and so poor are the communications. His Excellency recently celebrated the silver jubilee ot his ordination. • Three pair of bullocks were needed several times to drag the car of Bishop Bouter„ of the Mill Hill Fathers, out of the mire during the recent 600-mile tour through his diocese of Nellore, India. The Telugu district is famous for its black cottorPsoil, which becomes practically impossible for traffic after the heavy rains. His Excellency reports an increase of 7,000 Catholics since his nomination in June, 1929.
