Why the Kookaburra Laughs HAVE
The breathless dock labourer dashed into the manager's office. "I say, gulinor," he said, "I'm clearing off." "Whatever do you mean?" asked the manager, puzzled. "They're loading a lot of cattle down at the boat—" "Well, what about it?" "I've been chased by a blooming bull all along the quay—and I'm a stevedore, not a toreador!" The Mayor had consented, with a number of his colleagues, to attend an important temperance gathering. They were rather late and the chairman of the meeting, with the object of marking time, announced that they would sing the hymn, "Hold the fort, for I am coming." The civic procession, headed by the Mayor, entered the hall just as the audience were singing: "See the mighty host advancing, Satan leading on!" A vicar was showing a party of - Americans over his church ,and as he halted by the pulpit near which were some brass tablets let into the paving, he said: "A good many brethren sleep here." "It's the same in my home town," remarked one of the visitors. "But why don't you boys brighten up your sermons?" The play was over, and the successful dramatist was being congratulated by his friends. -Never before have I seen such a masterly villain," said one of them. "It amazes me that anyone could have invented such a scoundrel." The dramatist looked cautiously round, and then whispered: "I didn't invent him. He is really a combination of all the things my wife has said about me." A wealthy Irishman, who wanted to "show off" before one of his less fortunate countrymen, invited him to dinner at a fashionable hotel in London. "Now, Paddy, my bhoy," he said, "I'm going to order everything of the best. You follow my lead." The waiter arrived. "We'll have a couple of cocktails to start with," ordered the wealthy one "Hi, waiter," he said, "I won t have that! Bring me a wing and a bit of breast instead." Customer: "Are these eggs fresh?" Clerk: "They are positively impertinent." Actor: • "Yes, my friends, usually my audiences are glued to their seats." Friend: "What a quaint way of keeping them there!" "That's a nice little boy," said the visitor as Johnny Picked up his scattered toys. "I guess your mother has promised you something if you clean up the rootn." "If I don't," he corrected her. Mistress: "I notice that your policeman friends:ealls frequently. Do you t hink he means business?" Cook "I .think he docs. Be has already begun to complain about my cooking." Mother: "Now. Frankie, say grace after your breakfast." Frankie: "Thanks for my breakfast." Mother: "Oh, Frankie, that wasn't much of a grace." Frankie: "Well, it wasn't much of a breakfast." "Willie• ," said the doting aunt, holding her nephew close to her, "tell me whom you like the best—your mother. your father, or me?" Willie squirmed to get away. "I don't want to tell," he said: "it's too near my birthday."
A LAUGH
WITH HIM
A fidgety old gentleman at a railway station was afraid that he would lose the run of his trunk, and constantly worried the busy porter about it somewhat as follows "Porter, be sure my trunk is safe. • A moment later, "Porter, don't forget my trunk." Shortly again, "Now, are you quite sure that my trunk is safe?" The porter answered: -Faith, it's a pity you wasn't born an elephant instead of an ass; then You would always have your trunk under your
nose."

"Let me shake your hand, old • fellow," said Simpkins. "This is one of the happiest days of Your life." Freeman looked puzzled. "But, I say, old fellow," he smiled, aren't you a bit too previous? I'm not going to be married until to-morrow." Simpkins shook his head sadly. "That's what I say," he replied cynically. "This is going to be the hap piest day of your life."

They took their seats in the• car riage. Mac took out his pipe and lit it, and Sandy produced a cigar. "Hallo, mon, said Mac, "where did ye get that cigar?" "A body gave it to me,- replied Sandy, preparing to light it. "A fr-r-iend?" asked Mac. "I don't know, ye ken," replied the other. "I haven't smoked it yet."
Con O'Brien COURT HOTEL
Williams was showing lh s 'neighbour over his little bungalow: In the drawing-room he pointed to a picture on the wall. "That's my equestrian portrait," he said proudly. "A very good snapshot," said his friend. "A snapshot," put in Williams, slightly puzzled. "What makes you think that?" "Well, you're still on the horse, old chap," replied the other, with a brief smile. The dance music stopped, and the couples began to drift off the floor A young man who had danced on his partner's feet most of the time escorted the fair young thing to a seat ?Jove!" he exclaimed joyous! y "doesn't that make you wish for an other?" "Yes, indeed, it does," she replied, coldly, "hut he sent me word that he w ould be unable to get here to-night." Impatient Man (outside public call box) : -Can I help you to find the nember you want?" Young Woman (sweetly) : "Oh. I don't want a number. I'm looking for a pretty name for my baby:' 4
Mrs. Newlywed,: "I want a pair of woolly socks for my hubby." "Yes, madam, and what size des he take?" Mrs. Newlywed: "I really don't know, but I believe he wears a fifteen collar." Fatuous Young Man: "And what are you thinking about, my pretty one?'" Bored Partner: "Nothing much." Young Man: "Why not think about me?" Partner: "I was." The keeper had caught a boy having a dip in the lake. "Can't you read -the notice, 'No s wimming allowed'?" he asked sternly. "That's all right," said the boy, "I can't swim." • Mother: "And what did you do with the sixpence I gave you for taking your -medicine?" Small Son: "I bought three-pennorth of sweets and gave Toni the c tl..er threepence for taking the medicine for me." A little boy was crying bitterly be ause his dog had died. "Why make such a fuss about it?" asked his chum. "My grandmother (lied last month, and I didn't cry nearmuch." "That's different.- was the reply. "You hadn't brought her up from a pup."

President de Valera led the Irish Free State delegation to the Assembly of the League of Nations in Geneva last month, when he raised the debate on the admission of Russia to membership in the League of Nations to a high moral tone by his protest against Russia's anti-Christian policy. He was accompanied by Mr. F. T. Cremins, permanent representative of the Free State at Geneva: Mr. J. G. Hearne, legal adviser to the Department of External Affairs; and Mr F. H. Boland, head of the League of Nations' section of External Affairs Department. • The Very Rev. Richard O'Brien, P.P.. who died recently at the parochial house, Paulstown, was one of the oldest priests in the Diocese of Kildare and Leighlin. Last year he celebrated the diamond jubilee of his ordination. Born in the parish of Killeign, in 1849. he studied in Carlow College before entering Maynooth, where he was ordained in 1873. Father O'Brien spent some years in Salford ( Eng. ', under Bishop Vaughan, afterwards Cardinal. He was a devoted pastor, mindful also of the temporal needs of his flock, and in his earlier years he took an active part in the land movement. ENGLAND. A very old and historic mission in the Liverpool Archdiocese has just celebrated its four hundredth anniversary. The little rustic parish of St. Swithin, Gillmoss, is situated on the extreme boundary of the city of Liverpool, where the Faith has preserved unbroken continuity with preAt . the general Protestant times. apostasy during penal days. the great Catholic family of the Molyneux, who w ere lords of the manor, still adhered to the religion of their birth, despite the imposition of heavy penalties. The Catholics of the district attended Mass in the chapel of the manorial seat until the eighteenth century, when the title fell to a boy, who was induced by his Protestant guardian to embrace the established Church. The chaplain of that time was forced to leave the house and establish a chapel in the attic of a nearby farm house In 1824 the present church replaced the attic chapel.

Eight crosses of mountain larch, each 163.ft. high, are to be erected in the eight provinces of Austria in the name of'. 50,000 children, who, on the initiative of the late Dr. Dollfuss, were enabled by the Patriotic Fund organisation to spend their summer holidays in the country. MEXICO. General Lazaro Cardenas, Presidentelect of Mexico, has issued a statement which may be taken as a key to his administration. Cardenas declares that the Church will have no influence over the schools, that the State will have complete over education, and that the socialistic school, as incorporated in the six-year plan of the National Revolutionary Party. is identified with the cultural work undertaken by the Revolution for the "emancipation of the labouring class." The President-elect noted with satisfaction the disappeaarnce of laws designating the Catholic religion as the country's official religion. AMERICA. The widespread sale of liquor to minors was protested in a resolution adopted at the closing session at Philadelphia recently, of the Catholic Total The Abstinence Union of America. Convention was opened with Solemn Pontifical Mass in the Cathedral, sung by the Auxiliary Bishop of PhiladelIn phia (Most Rev. G. P. O'Hara). his sermon at the opening Mass. Monsignor Curran said: "It is within the power of the Catholic Church. through the clergy and laity of this country, to promote and instill the virtue of temperance in the hearts of our fellow citizens for the greater honour and glory of G-d: for the salvation of souls, an.-1 for the perpetuity and security of ur national government. May the voice of the immortal Father Matthew, the illustrious conqueror of the demon of intemperance, continue to ring down the course of ages agaiRst the onslaught of drunkenness and its t win companior.s. vice and debauch-' ery."

All the bells of Avila began to peal as the venerated statue of Our Lady of Sonsoles was crowned recently at A vila. It was one of the most impressive religious events held in the city .for some time. The statue was carried in procession through the historic city, together with the statue or St. Teresa. Thousands of flowers were thrown in Our Lady's path, while the crowds cried "Viva la Virgen de Sonsoles!"

Anglican Editor Denounces Anti-God A CALL TO MEMBERS OF ALL A tall to members of all churches in the United States to join in fighting against the war on all religion being conducted by the Revolutionary Party which controls the Government of Mexico, is sounded in the leading editorial in a recent issue of "The Living Church," organ of the Episcopal Church published at Milwaukee, U.S.A. Clifford P. Morehouse is the editor. The article, entitled ',Religion in Mexico," calls attention to the proposal on the part of the anti-clerical rulers of that country to enact legislation which would prohibit anyone connected with propagation of a religious creed to establish, support or teach in any educational institution—primary, secondary, normal or university. Noting also the hatred of those in control of the Mexican Government for reNgion of any sort, the article states: "Here, it seems to us, is another place where Christian forces, Catholic and Protestant, can well unite, following the admirable precedent set by them in the matter of the Legion of Decency. Is it not possible for the Roman Hierarchy, our National Council, and the Federal Council of Chun ches to get together in a united Christian remonstrance against this body blow to Christianity in Mexico, a blow delivered ruthlessly in the name of a Godless political and social philosophV Is it not time for Catholics and Protestants to co-operate in making plain to the Mexican people —who are more sensitive to American public opinion than is sometimes malised— that we Americans actually do .care about religious liberty, and have no love for the intolerance of an anti-God secularism Should not Jewish leaders, on behalf of whose faith Christian voices have been raised frequently recent years, join in such a protest?in "This is not a question of the Roman Church controlling Mexico, but one rather of Anti -Christ putting forcibly a stamp of atheism On every growing Mexican -Laws forbidding priests other natiye-born Mexicans to officiate than hampered the Roman Church." have the ar-

Influence on Non-Catholic Writers. Before Cardinal Newman's conversion. the publication of Catholic books in English was somewhat of a novelty. That is not to infer, however. that Catholicism did net play an immense Part in the formation of the stock-intrade of all the great masters of literature. Carlyle himself admits this fact. However. the Catholic literary movement gathered strength and Power. The number of Catholic writers of ability has grown with each succeeding decade, and their work has a Ser. powerful influence on non-Catho I lie thought. A Greater General Technical Excellence.

They have thus been an influence for good among all classes of readers. They sing of the happiness of the Christian soul consequent upon its realisation of God's infinite happiness, and of its own intimacy with Him by ties of nature and of grace. Thus a brilliant galaxy of Catholic men-of-letters, interpreters of our age's new-born vigour and idealism, pass before us in review Their work is characaerised by a common theme—the glory of their Catholic Faith. Whether we ate thrilled by the majestic and precise language of Newman, or the logical subtlety and the surprising paradoxes of Belhoc and Chesterton, or the keen sincerity of Patmore, or the rich beauty of Thompson's work, we know the same happy consequence —enthusiasm for the cause of which they are the champions. The Catholic Revival. It was after the death of ,1.3,,yron and Shelley, and the decay of the Romantic School of Literature that the genuine Catholic Revival began. It was England's "Second Spring." Of that second Spring, and all that it meant, but little can now be said. How long might we not dwell, for example, on the illustrious protaganist of the Oxford Movemer.t, whose splendid intellectual and religious activity not only glorified the Mother Church to whose bosom he was leading back so many, but actually roused a new throb of life in the Anglicanism which he forsook! Let us just say a word of Newman, in his purely literary aspect—that aspect which counted far least important in his own eyes. Of his style. which was the perfect reflex of the man. critics who were not friendly either to his unioersity or his religion, have written that it is "the nearest to perfection that our speech can show: that when at its best a better is hardly conceivable" John Lingard. Nor did Newman, even if peerless, stand quite alone among Catholics of his own generation. Thirty years older than he was the priest, scholar, and historian, John Lingard, of whose monumental work—monumental in its fairness and honesty—Dr. Saintsbury has testified that it still remains on the whole the best history of England A really surprising on a large scale.' commendation to have been earned (as Saintsburr notes) by the membei of a small minority of a creed cut oft from the natural opportunities, spurs. and rewards of learning.

We must devote ourselves, leave. firstly to the most agreeable and excellent manifestation, from a literary point of view, of the Englisn "Second Spring." namely, its very numerous and excellent poetic voices. Secondly, we shall review briefly the extensive and excellent literary output in prose.

Alice Meynell. who was not only Francis Thompson's rescuer from the Loo. don slums. but also his muse and iospiration. took the literary world by storm at a time when critics were hostile. She is one of the leading English women poets, although her work will never he popular, liecause the average persons's mind cannot be transposed to the spirit of her oleasing imagination and attraction
Alice Meynell was born in 1850; she died but a few yaars ago. She spent most of her childhood in Italy With her sister, now the famed Lady Butler, and artist of military scenes. Living in Italy has left some qualities of the ,South in her work, although it is thot• oughlv English. Mrs. Mevnell had no favouring critics when first she began to publish her books, but her work was so easily recognised and distinguished that the most farnams of critics in that day were soon eager for her new works. During her early Years she evinces a sense of weight_ and" age, as most young poets do. bat in the later poems a lightness and gaiety became characteristic. In fact she grew younger, more serene, more joyous, as she grew older. Her essays, with their lyrical quality, poetical in theme, do not cease to be poetry, but, at the same time, conform with the regulations and requirements of prose. Mrs. Meynell, writing in the midst of household cares and the distraction from her eight children, strove for distinction. Interested in minute technique. she must have destroyed some of her work, because the amount published is very small. However, this was fortunate, since it has been said that her fastidiousness was her salvation. There are a few poems which show many of her best characteristics. These are "A Thrush Before Dawn,' 'in which is pictured an extraordinary sense of the beauties of nature. and "Renouncement.- the best modern sonnet, in which she shows that God's wonder. ful providence in the affairs of life is proved and understood more fully with each passing year. Gorgeous and spiritual is the poetry of her who was the saving angel, the almost idolised patroness of Francis Thompson. More spiritual in its dclicacy and reticence, venturing (as befitted the woman) but timidly into the sanctuary, making a holy place of the domestic hearth and b-eilding a hermitage in the London garden, the worth of Alice Nies:nen conquered the homage of a world from which it might have seemed too exquisitely and fastidiously aloof. Her poems and essays made felt "in streaming Lon. don's central roar." the fine inner voices of a disciplined and cultured Catholic soul: and when her name was mentioned some twenty years ago in connection with the vacant laureateship, those who knew her work may have felt that the honour might be incongruous, hut they 'cannot have felt that it would be too high. Her wit and humour--a broad, robust humour like Dickens' and Chaucer's—evident only to a few chosen people. may be perceived. She was never explicitly religious in her poems, but an underlying current of Catholicity is always discernible. Francis Thompson. A great line of Catholic poets came with Alice Meynell, of which the greatest was probably Francis Thompson. He was born in 1859, in England. At one time he studied for the priesthood. but was very unsuccessful, on account of his unreliability and incompetency. Then he tried to study medicine, but was unfortunate in this line, because he spent valuable time reading sixteenth and seventeenth century prose and poetry, which later exercised an influence on his literary Discouraged and disappointstole. erf in the choice of a career, he ran away from home to London, where he suffered in wretched poverty until Mr. and Mrs. Meynell rescued -him ,ill and broken in spirit by his insidious habit of opium. His famous essay on Shelley was written while he was bootblacking on the kerbs of London streets. Thompson, a born journalist, could write on anything. Mrs. Meynell, helping him to correct his early f aults--an audience and a careful critic —never trying to curb his dilatation—was the answer to his :prayers, for the woman he was to meet and admire. It was she as his inspiration and muse, who fashioned his career in so successful a manner. Like Patmore. he was a mystic poet, dealing in poetic metaphor. It was his ambition to be considered "the poet of the return to God," while he told us that Heaven and God were near at hand. Always talking about pain, his biting doctrine, altogether too ecclesiastical, was new to his generation. His poetry reads, as Lionel Johnson said. "like obsolete words, all put together," a difficulty many of us find in reading his works. • The same fault may he found with his prose, -which was malestic,
but altogether too weighty. Thotn.psonS "The Hound of Heaven" is the greatest mystical poem in the language, unsurpassed even by his other poems or by those of Patmore. He was "cradled" into poetry by wrong, as other great poets are. In "The Hound of Heaven," the "Ode to the Setting Sun," and others of Thompson's poems, we find a singular union of richly sensuous imagination, with deeply spiritual insight, of skiX in beautiful language. with deep intensity of feeling. His sorrows and his faith combined with his genius to g-ve tne world some of the centuries' best poetry. It would be idle to discuss his poems in a brief talk such as this. His works are published in thsee volumes, one of which is prose. and anyone who has not read his essays, has still an exquisite treat in store. Coventry Patmore. Although Thompson was perhaps the greatest of Catholic poets who came with Mrs. Meynell, they were both imbued with the doctrine followed by Coventry Patmore, who is sometimes called "the greatest Catholic poet since Dante." Born in 1823, he became a convert at an early age. He has a slight trace - of Victorian influence in "The ,Angel in the House," the medium of his conversion; still, his writings cannot be said to belong to any one period of time. Plato and Dante exerted a great influence upon him. but the ideals of each were different. The ideal love of Plato was that of a friend, that of Dante an unmarried woman, that of Patmore a wife. He treats love in a new way, exalting it, and, at the same time, limiting it within the point of view of human beings. He strives to point out the relation between human and divine love, and is one of the few poets who tried to devise a philosophy of life from experiences of love. In his "Unknown Eros," a series of odes and lyrics, love is treated in its highest and. most mystical aspects. He came to he gradually more and more valued and honoured by the discerning few. Let me, instead of further criticism, simply quote the opinion of so representative a critic as Edmund Goss. He says: "It is my firm conviction that the influence of Coventry Patmore, as the master-psychologist of love, human and divine, is destined steadily to increase, and that a future generation will look back to him with a mingled homage and curiosity when many of those whose doings now fill the columns of our newspapers are f orgotten." And again: "I see little in later Victorian literature 'which bears the stamp of so much originality, combined with such absolute distinction of form, as the best of Patmore's religious odes. Their subject, of course, must always remove them from popular approval, but it is to be c onceived that a small circle, of those who comprehend. may continue as time goes on to contemplate them with an almost idolatrous veneration." Patmore believed that marriage is a preparation, a rehearsal, for what is to come in Heaven, and that it was a progress to the love of Heaven. His doctrine is not a new one. It has been taught by several mystics, including St. Teresa. The folloWing quotation sums up Patmore's doctrine and is symbolic of his ideals and work: "Though love is all of Earth that's dear, Its home. my children, is not here." His wems fill a good-sized volume, and are 'edited with a critical survey of his life and letters, by Basil Champneys. In the Prologue he tells us why he chose "Love" as his poetic theme: "Lo. Love's obeyed by all. 'Tis right That all should know what they obey, Lest erring conscience damp delight, And fully laugh our joys away. Thou Primal Love. who grantest wings And voices to the woodland birds, Give me the .power of saying things Too simple and too sweet for words!" His confidence in securing posterity's approval was not ill-founded: "I hope by virtue of my choice Of this. the most heart-touching theme, That ever tuned a poet's voice, To live as I am bold. to dream, To be delight to many days, And into silence only cease When those are still, who shared their bays Woh Laura and with Beatrice " LOOK!

To those who have eyes to see, there is no romance more thrilling than the solid facts of history, and amongst those -solid facts of history there are—for the Catholic, at all events—none which take p. stronger grip on the imagination than those concerning the origin, the progress, and vicissitudes of the great Religious Orders. Of the active Orders of the Church, the oldest is the Benedic• tine, which dates back to the year 530, and was founded at Monte Cassino in Italy, by St. Benedict of Nursia. There are no more than 9,000 inhabitants in the picturesque town of Einsiedeln, which nestles in the hills some twenty miles from Zurich, .in Switzerland; and the Benedictine Abbey, round which this town has grown up, was founded on the site or a hermit's cell in 934 by Eberhard, a hermit, following the example of St. The Abbey is famous for Meinracl. its pilgrimages,• in which respect it rivals other famous places. Pilgrims, numbering up to 200,000, go there annually from all parts of C atholic Europe. The object of their devotion is no doubt the miraculous Statue of Our Lady, originally set up bo St. Meinrad, and later enthroned in the little chapel erected by Eberhard. In addition to this, there is the tradition that the Church erected by Eberhard was miraculously consecrated in 948 by Christ Himself, assisted by the Four Evangelists, St Peter, and St. Gregory the Great According to the - Catholic Encyclopaedia, this event was investigated and confirmed by Pope Leo VIII., and subsequently ratified Iry many of his successors, .the last ratification bring by Pius VI.. in. 1793, who confirmed the acts of all his predecessors. This year. therefore. this famous nastery of Maria-Einsiedeln, in Switzerland, is celebrating its millen ary, jubilee. The celebrations are to include the presentation of a Mys. t try Play, in which some hundreds of villagers are to take part. In this respect Einsiedeln is not unlike Ober. ionmergato although, of course, lack ing the world-wide fame that has fo;• lowed the Bavarian Play. The celebrations —joyous in honour the 1,000th. anniversary of its Hrrttlation—opened on May 6 last, vitt, Pontifical Mass, and saw assem bled at Einsiedeln a large crowd of visitors from all parts. A remark-
able feature of the pilgrimages of the Millenary was the large number who participated. It had been the custom formerly for the Swiss Cantons to leave at Einsiedeln, as a souvenir of their official pilgrimages, a large wax candle, adorned with a picture of Our Lady of the Hermits, and with the coat of arms of the various Cantons. With the Millenary this beautiful custom was revived, and last May, at the head of the procession, representing the Cantons of Uri and Obwalden, could be seen a man in complete ceremonial dress bearing a huge votive candle, which was placed near the altar-rails. On Ascension ,Thursda)7., this example was followed by the pilgrims from the Canton of Zug (in the diocese of Basle). In the evening they organised a magnificent torch-light procession to a little hill traditionally associated with St. Meinard, and where a Calvary is soon to be erected. On Whit Mondal., the inhabitants of the town of Zurich provided another beautiful religioul manifestation. We are told that, in 1524, Zwingli, the "reformer," forbade, under grave penalties, any pilgrimages by the Zurichians to Our Lady of the Hermits. It was not till 1889 that the pilgrimages from Zurich were renewed, and they have been maintain. ecl with a remarkable display of devotion since then. The festivities for the month of May Are brought to a close with a procession of the Blessed Sacrament through the streets of Einsiedeln. It is gratifying to know that, on May 13. Einsiedeln was honoured with a visit from several Catholic members of the diplomatic corps accedited to Berne—amongst whom were the French Ambassador, the Belgian ann Argentine Ministers, as well as M. Motta, head of the Swiss Government. M. Motta will be remembered for his recent fierce opposition to the admission of antiGod Russia to the League of Nations. Many wh‘o are not Catholics may feel disposed to think of and look upon these Nlillenary celebrations as a, spectacle—but, at least, we can forgive them for failing to appreciate its unchanging nature and its spiritual basis. Catholics see in it, not a spectacle. but a bridging of the years, and those who take part perpetuate the tradition and spirit of their forefathers.--PAUL BRENNAN.

Cardinal Villeneuve, Archbishop of Quebec, recently visited Toronto, where he was honoured with the De• gree of Doctor of Laws of. the University. At a banquet in St. Michael's College, His Eminence paid this tribute to the Irish pioneers:— The other day, at Kingston. I skid that we in Canada owe a debt ot gratitude to the Church of France, which for three centuries after the dis covery of Canada sent us many learned and zealous priests, who, with consecrated self-sacrifice, splendid themselves to the service of God in this country, and many heroic missionaries, who, always at the risk and often at the loss of their lives, laboured incessantly to spread the light of our religion among the Indians throughout this vast continent. But, my dear friends, there is an other nation to which we also owe a very special debt of gratitude. a nation old in its Christianity, which re ceived grace before the Saxon came to Great Britain and which has nevet quenched it, and whose Church has seen the rise and fall of Canterbury and York, and has always been true and loyal to the Holy See, in spite of the most cruel and persistent persecution. I refer to everfaithful Ireland Whatever may have been the un happy causes that have led to the ex. patriation of so many of Ireland's sons and daughters from their native soil, an overruling Providence has made their exile subservient to high. er and holier purposes. Within the ten years from 1839 to 1849, no less than 428.000 Irish immigrants sailed for Canada. But, alas! they did not reach Quebec. The immigration ships of those days were a disgrace to humanity. and were iustly termed floating coffins. The mortality among the immigrants was appalling, • thou sands died of ship's fever during the voyage, and thousands from typhus at the quarantine station at Grosse Isle, forty miles below Quebec. In the summer of 1817. no less than 7.000 were buried there. They died at the rate of 50 a day. An Irish priest, describing the hot. rors of those awful days. dwells on the heroism of the French-Canadian priests, who moved among the dead and the dying in the long narrow sheds where they lay "sucking di , •7 into their bosoms as they shrove." an a dministered the Last Sacraments to the (lying, and he tells us how tenderly the poor victims were nursed hv the gentle hands of the Sisters of c harity. blessed angels, who fearlessly spent days and nights at th• side of the dying. and who t k un• der their affectionate care man. helpless infants and, orphans wh, • were afterwards, thanks to the appeal and commendations of the Archbishop and priests, adopted lw French-Canadian farmers and treated tw them a. one of their family.

The Rev. Father Carew, of Walkerston, who underwent an operation in the Mater 'Hospital, at Mackay (Q.) recently, is still very ill, but his condition shows improvement. At the annual meeting of the Royal Geographical Society, held in Brisbane on the 19th. of last month, Archbishop Duhig was re-elected President ol the Society for the ensuing year. The subject of the Archbishop's Presidential address was "History of Australian Discovery." His Grace Archbishop Duhig, speaking at a Confirmation ceremony at the Church of St. Anthony and the Little Flower, Kedron, on the 23rd. ult., stated that since he first made the request that girl candidates for Confirmation pledge themselves to refrain from smoking, 5,000 girls in the Archdiocese had made that promise. His Grace expressed the hope that other girls would follow their example. This pledge is additional to that other pledge which candidates take to refrain from drinking strong liquor until they are 25 years of age. * Fathers C. T. Brennan and P. Sex. ton, of the Redemptorist Order, are conducting missions in the Longreach parish. The congregations have been very large at all the exercises. On the 24th inst., the Very Rev. Father Batman. of Bundaberg, will celebrate his Sacerdotal Silver Jubilee. A Requiem Mass for the repose of the soul of Christopher O'Sollivan was celebrated in St. Joseph's Church, Woollahra. on the 18th. ult.

Rose McLaughlin. a valuable and esteemed member of the Sisters of Mercy. North Sydney. died in the Mater Misericordiae Hospital on the 20th. ult. The deceased nun was of the small hand of pioneer nuns who courageously faced the task of establishing Catholic education in the North Shore district 50 years ago. She was a native of Maitland (N.S.W.), and was educated at the Dominican Convent in that town. When her school days were over, she came to Sydney and entered the Order of Mercy, and was professed in ISSO together with her cousin, Mother M. Gertrude McLaughlin. by Archbishop Vaughan. at St. Patrick's Convent C hurch Hill. She laboured in many houses of her Institute, and was in charge of Lane rove when she died. Tn 1930 she celebrated her golden of profession. R.I.P. A splendid effort by the pupils of the Boys and Infants' Departments ,t the Mosman Public School (N.S.W.) onlminated in a magnificent gift to the Mater MisericordiPe 'Hospital of neat ly 500 eggs. The pupils entered wholeheartedly into the collection, and this more than valuable gift was the result. The Sisters of Mercy, in acknowledging receipt of the gift e'spress their sincere appreciation of the action of all "those responsible in the organising of the Egg Day, and to those parents of the children who gave so generously. It. reported in the "Young Witness ' (N.S.W.) that the property known as St. Tohn's Nursing Home has been acquired by the Catholic Church authorities, who intend to use it as the site for a home suitable for a community of nuns, who will eventually take it over as an Orphanage. Tt is hoped to erect on that side of the t own a building in keeping with the Sacred Heart Hospital and St. eph's Home for Old People. Sister Mary Laurentia Jageurs passed away at St. Vincent's Convent. Potts Point, fortified with all the rites of the Church, on the 19th. ult. She was the daughter of the late Peter and Mary Jageurs, of Melbourne. She
first saw the light of day in Philips. town, King's County, Ireland, in 1864. During her span of 70 years she spent 45 years as a devout Spouse of Christ in the Order of the Sisters of Charity. Sister Mary Laurentia was a sister of the late Morgan Peter Jageurs, who did so much for the Irish cause in Australia, and was associated with the late Dr. N. M. O'Donnell in the various movements for Irish Nationalism. A Requiem Mass was celebrated at St. Vincent's, Potts Point, by the Rev Father J. C. Bartley, 0.F.M., a relative of the Jageurs family, who afterwards officiated at the graveside in R.I.P. Rookwood Cemetery.

PERTH, SATURDAY. OCTOBER 13, 1934.
The Trouble in Spain
Since the abdication of King Alfonso in 1931, Republican Spain has been through a turmoil of revolutions and counter-revolutions. This state of affairs has been due chiefly to lack of justice and toleration on the part of the earlier Republican leaders, most of whom were intensely socialistic and irreligious. Spain being, nominally at least, a Catholic country, the Church was first to suffer under the new regime, although she had a minority of faithful supporters in each political camp. In accordance with her usual procedure, the Church in Spain accepted the duly constituted Republican Government as a matter of course, notwithstanding the grave dangers to be feared from an anti-clerical Cortes. Her fears were not without foundation. After the Proclamation of the Spanish Republic. elections were held. Only 42 Catholic members, representing varying political groups, were elected, out of a total of 470 seats. This minority in the new Cortes had the burden and the privilege of defending the Catholic Church. Senor Gil Robles, member for Salamanca City, was the Youngest, though the ablest, of these new members. Representing an insignificant minority, he had, with his colleagues, to suffer the chagrin of seeing the separation of Church from State, the burning of their churches, the destruction of their libraries and art treasures; the sacking of monasteries and convents, and the banishment of the teaching religious Orders. In spite of all this, Catholics throughout the country remained loyal to the constituted authority, and nothing could move them to revolt. * • They determined, however, to remedy their woeful plight by legal and constitutional means. Under stress of this religious persecution, it became necessary to amalgamate all the disunited Catholic parties into one big union of the Right. Gil Robles was made the leader, and such has been his success in the last three years, that he has succeeded in bringing to his party all the sound elements in the country. and building up his programme of a new Spain, founded on justice and toleration. While the Coalition Government, composed of the Radical-Centre and Socialist Left, was suffering from internal dissension, and could not agree on an equitable distribution of the Catholic spoils. Gil Robles was consolidating his party of the Right, in preparation for a general election, which seemed imminent. That general election took place in December of last year. It followed the defeat of the Azana Government last September t welve months. and the failure of his successor, Senor Lerroux, the month after. The Catholic Party of the Right increased its strength considerably. Vain efforts at stable Goverment were again made by coalition of the Centre and Left, but without success. Last week, for the first time. the Catholic Party has been invited to join the Government, under the Centre Party Leader, Senor Lerroux, who now enters upon his fourth term of office as • ••• • • io Minister. it has thus given Spain. according to the latest cable reports, its first stable Government since December. The new Cabinet includes three members of the Catholic Party, and President Zamora's wish for a representative .Cabinet has been realised. • • • Btu peace has not yet been secured. The new Cabinet has met with a determined challenge from the extreme faction of the Left. The Left Republican leaders decided to break off relations with President Zamora and the new Government. ;iwing to the fear that Lerroux, whose present support comes from the Catholic Right. will suppress their Socialistic and Communistic propaganda. A general strike was declared, and in the few hours of its operation there have been serious clashes, involving the loss of many lives. Other activities controlled by the Socialist Trade Unions are at a standstill. and Communist revolts have broken out in Catalonia and Asturias, in whose industrial areas the Socialists have most influence. The efforts of the Socialists have been strengthened by the innate opposition to Federal rule on the part of some of the Provinces, who have long aimed at complete independence. • • • The revolt has, however, been suppressed, but not before martial law was proclaimed throughout the country. It is believed that the Government intends to declare the Socialist Party illegal, as no Left wing deputies were admitted to the latest meeting of the Cortes. The Prime Minister (Senor Lerroux) issued a statement in which he said that the disorders were directed against him, and that he was quite prepared to face them, and regarded t he measures already taken as sufficient to guarantee the security of the regime. As the general strike still continues, and sporadic fifihting occurs in the Provinces, it is evident that the peace which Spain has so long been seeking is far from achievement, but it is more evident still, that that object will only be attained in Spain ' `..7 the complete suppression of the Socialists. Mussolini has done it in Italy. by means of a Fascist Dictatorship, and Hitler has attempted it in Germany. Although it is well known that Robles, the leading opponent of Socialism, is opposed to Fascism, it yet remains to he seen whether law and order can be permanently restored without it. . • • • As far as the Church is concerned, Spain's anti-clericals have made an enormous blunder. You can no more exclude religion from a Catholic country, by a policy of suppression, than you can k eep dry by never mentioning the rain, or pay your debts by burning your creditors' bills. The more Spain's anti-clericals attompt to exclude the claims of God, the more will Spanish Catholics let them know that these exist. lnd thnt misrepresentative Parliaments are revolting a world-wide body of opinion, as well as mobilising a national counter offensive at home. And who shall Maine any section of a community from attempting to ward off 7 +ersecution. since one of the very primal laws of life is self-preservation?

.The Newman Society is holding a dinner on Saturday, November 24, at 6.45 p.m., in the Refectory, Crawley. Those wishing to attend, and, remember, it is open to every one, must notify the Secretary, Miss McKinley ( B4764), or any member of the coramittee, not later than Saturday, November 17. * Fleets of motor busses brought members of the Ancient Order of Hibernians from many parts of the North to the coastal village of Carnlough, Co. Antrim, for the Benediction service in St. John's Church, in memory of the late Mr. Joseph Devlin, M.P.,_who was President of the Order. Mr. Devlin came to West Australia many years ago in connection with an appeal for sustenance funds for the Irish Party, and is still well remembered. Archbishop McNeil, of Toronto, who died recently, left estate of the value of £823, consisting of £440 in insurance policies, £243 in cash, and other personal property, mainly his library. By his will His Grace forgave all personal debts due to him. He was known to have been generous to many who had come to him in need. The Archbishop left all his possessions to St. A ugustine's Seminary. Hard times seem ahead for Germany. Government spokesmen are warning the people of the hard winter, when belts must be tightened. The test of Hitlerism will come should the belts be tightened overmuch. Already Chancellor Hitler, who has been riding on the crest of the wave of popularity, is seeking a scapegoat for the failure of his political adventure. He sees now that bands and marches and patriotic outpourings are not remunerative--that they bring no grist to the national mill. So he seeks an explanation for the people when winter comes. He attacks the selfishness of industrialists and the wealthy classes, whom he charged with grudging support to the workless and the impoverished—and he speaks of a "devilish international clique" who were boycotting Germany and attempting to destroy her industrially. He realises that unless industry is more generous to the workers, and the people are fed, there is trouble brewing. The Government, he says, must get money. So money, money, money is the cry of the Nazi Government—it seems to be the last cry of a political frenzy that is burning out. The following letter has been received by the Rev. Dr. McMahon. from the Secretary of the Royal Agricultural Society of Western Australia: Dear Sir.—I am directed by my President and Council to thank you for the interest taken by you and your schools in the Children's Section at the recent Royal Show. The entries we received were very gratifying and the work of quite a high standard. The Children's Hall was well filled with exhibits which were of great interest to the public. I would be pleased if you would kindly bring the contents of this retter under the notice of the schools who forwarded exhibits to the Royal Show.—Yours f aithfully—CHAS W. MAY. Secretary.
Modern Universities Neglect of Theology Archbishop Downey's Criticism. The neglect of theology by modern universities came in for criticism by the Most Rev. Richard Downey, D.D., A rchbishop of Liverpool, when he spoke at a banquet which marked the "coming of age- of the University of L iverpool Catholic Society. "A university is a place which professes universal knowledge," said the A rchbishop, "and the exclusion of a basic faculty has need of apologists. It also has its drawbacks. When one reads some of the pronouncements of eminent scientists, popular novelists, bu.iiness magnates and legal luminaries on religion and ethics, one cannot help regretting that an elementary course of dogmatic and moral theology was not included in the curricuIt was felt lum of their education. by those who founded this society that there should he an integration of one's knowledge: that the secular teaming acquired at the university should be correlated with one's religious principles: that it was necessary to study those principles in their relation to the arts and sciences, and in their manifold application to presentdav problems, if one's knowledge was not to be packed away in watertight compartments. And hence from the' inception of the society down to the present day, the cult of apologetics as a leavening influence in the mind has always been one of . . its distinguishing characteristics."

St. Mary's Leederville A Picturesque Wedding. In St. Mary's Church, on October 4, there was solemnised a marriage of unusual interest to the parish, when Mr. Joseph Forrestal, of Subiaco, and Miss Eileen Casey, of Leederville, were married in circumstances which spoke eloquently of the fine Catholicspirit of those who participated in the festive occasion. The Nuptial Mass was celebrated by the parish priest, Rev. Father Moloney. Mr. Joseph Forrestal had as best man his brother, Mr. William Forrestal. Miss Casey had as her bridesmaids Miss Ena Casey (her sister) and Miss Julia McIntyre. Little Nellie Casey acted as train bearer. It was truly edifying to see not only the best man and the bridesmaids, but the whole Casey family and several other friends approach the altar rails with the newlymarried couple. The reception was held in St. Mary's Hall. where a ver4 large number of friends sat down to breakfast, and where the usual toasts were honoured. The Monthly Procession. held on the first Sunday of each month, is one of the things this parish is very proud of. It always attracts a large crowd, but last Sunday night the numbers were greater than usual Being the first Sunday of October was an added incentive. Sold Again. Last week I wrote an ample supply of Dr. McMahon's booklet, "The Busbies' Scheme in West Australia," will be available for those who were unable to procure a copy last Sunday. Well, the ample supply—two stout bundles — arrived in good time, and were all sold at first Mass. The Queen Carnival. Pessimists we have, and always had: the pessimists tell us that our Queen Carnival is not going to be a success this year. It was ever thus! However. I prefer the opinion of those who have inside information—"a tip from the stable," so to say.

A WEEKLY REVIEW
CRICKET
Early Australian Teams The Awakening. It may be recalled that during the tour of Lillywhite's team in 1876-7 an English side was beaten for the first time on level terms by Australia. Evidently, however, the event made but little impression on the memory of followers of the game in this country, for, when the Australians landed at Liverpool, 1878, their arrival caused but small comment, and when they were beaten by Notts, in the opening match of their tour, people took it as a matter of course. There was a very rude awakening. Proceeding to London. the colonials met a_ very strong side of the M.C.C., at Lord's, and dismissing them for 33 and 19, won the game in a single day in decisive fashion. The event created an immense sensation, and it is not too much to say that the match marks the commencement of a very important epoch in the history of cricket. It at once became recognised everywhere that a new power had arisen in the cricketing world and that the sup remacv of England at a game which had always been considered peculiarly her own was seriously challenged.

Today's Game
Extravagant Praise. When Palmer came over for the first time his accomplishments as a bowler were heralded in the most extravagant fashion by Bonnor, whose unstinted praise struck terror into the hearts of a small circle of acquaintances to whom the great man was holding forth. Bonnor, however, was the most boastful of men, and he nullified—or rather, considerably lessened—the effect of the impression he had made by adding airily, "So far as I myself am concerned,I could play him all day with a toothpick!" The confession came as a great relief to his hearers, but Palmer 'was nevertheless destined to obtain numerous triumphs. The cricket rivalry between New South Wales and Victoria had always been keen, and a very amusing instance occurred respecting the selection of one of the earlier Australian teams. Boyle, one of the soundest judges of cricket, took exception to the choice of one invited for the trip, and just as the team was leaving Melbourne he handed a sealed envelope to a friend saying: "When we have played our first game in England, open this and You will find the name of the man who will prove the failure of the side." The friend waited until the result of the match with Oxford University was received, and then, opening the envelope, read the name of H. H. Massie—who had scored 206 by most brilliant cricket in his first great match on English soil! Seldom can prophecy have proved so hopelessly wrong, for Massie was destined to play manssplendid innings, and his hitting powers were much appreciated by all. Another amusing circumstance respecting the selection of a player occurred a few years later, when Kenny Burn, the Tasmanian batsman, was .chosen as second wicket-keeper. It was not until the team had sailed that the discovery was made that Burn had never kept wickets in his life!

all deeply grieved to hear that King Neptune has had the bad luck to get the 'flu, especially at this time when such aristocratic portions of the navy are honouring his domain, but when kings or' dukes go to fancy dress balls they must be prepared to catch something, as they have the name of being such "a catch" themselves. If I dare make bold to advise His Majesty then I urge him to consult Dr. Mulcahy, of Vincent-street, North Perth, about his 'fluish tendencies, for he, I think, is the greatest living authority on the 'flu, as he cured Captain Ippe Wilson of it this time last year. Dr. Codfish, you know, is only for wasting diseases, and I would not trust my chance of life to any quack who was at his wits end—that is generally the weakest portion of those who live continually Those xxxx were very under water. fishy, but thank you all the same.

Dear Moya and Marie,—In both of your pretty names there is a thought of the beautiful name of Our Blessed Lady, so here is a big wish that the Queen of the Holy Rosary will be mindful of two little girls on the 15th. and 16th. of this month--dates on which each of your hopes are centred. in expectation, I suppose, of the things that will make you feel it is worth while having a birthday once every year instead of once in a lifetime. Moya, the Book says you are going to be Eleven on the feast of the great St. Teresa, while you, Marie, are going to reach the same milestone on the 16th., which is usually the feast of St. Gerard Majella, so the pair of you are privileged little ladies of the 1st.

He has no place for beaaty in his heart Who carves him idols of the common mould: The glamour of the street. the dusty, mart, Self, and a world of ease; the last for gold. It moves him not to one ecstatic cry, The loveliness of all created things. Night's jewelled spaces of the windy sky, Ancl dusky hour vibrant with the s wallows' wings. There is no place for beauty in his heart— Then keep our feet, dear God, they do not stray Where'er the wanton Pleasure lures apart, And from Thy loving counsels far away. —Rev. Michael Douglas St. Coltunban's Mission. WORDS OF WISDOM.
i)
God, and God alone. knows and wills, and can give us more than we know how to desire. The desire of pleasure is another The more pleasures endless chain. we have the more easily we are bored, being bored we want still more and more pleasure. He who is truly poor cares so little for temporal things that though for true just reasons he labours to acquire them, yet they cause him no anxiety whatever. Gardening is one of the healthiest of hobbies, and hcsme-produced fruit and vegetables appeal to the palate. Oh, the glory of our Catholic faith! Oh, the strength of our Creed which raises us above earth and, day by day. brings us nearer to God! Alleulia.— Monsignor Preston. You must either conquer the world or the world will conquer you. You must be either master or. slave---Cardinal Newman. If thou art wise, expect to die every day: thus thou shalt keep thyself always ready and happy to depart on the great journey to thy eternal home. --Blessed Henry Suso. God's will is as energetic in the bewildering rush of the current as in the quiet, sheltered backwater. Our life should he the life of faith— a communion with the unseen—not something that we profess once a week or once a day, but something that we profess all day. People who are systematically untrustworthy in matters of small moment can seldom he trusted in matters .4 greater moment. HURTFUL WORDS. We have said and sung from childhood: "Kind words can never die," and the thought has given us comfort and encouragement. But the oppo site is just as true: hard, unkind words never die, either. Yet how thoughtlessly we let the winged words go, like thistle-down on the breeze, to spread their trouble and misery broadcast! -T think the first thing almost, that the love of God should eradicate from our character, is the careless use of speech. The ancient proverb speaks of "how great a fire a little spark kindleth," and we are also told that "the tongue is a fire.certsinlY nothing has caused more misery and sorrow than the unruly tongue which allows itself to voice any rumour, any gossip ana: scandal without care as to its truth, and even less as in its kindness, St. Paul. in his great poem on love. says that "Love thinketh no evil." and am quite sure that it speaks n How do vou stand in this matter:' We all of us have many idle' and bitter words to regret. hut 11 We re. solved. by God's help to nothing unkind to anyone, to s.,,eal; always the best of everyone?

HIS OWN HAPPINESS. Man is the artificer of his own hap piness. Let him beware how he complains of the disposition of circumstances, for it is his own disposiIf this is sour, or tion he blames. that rough, or the other steep, let nim think if it be not his work; if his looks curdle all hearts. let him not c omplain of a sour reception; if he hobble in his gait, let him not grumble at the roughness of the way: if he is weak in the knees, let him not call the hill steep. THE ILLUMINATION OF REGRET Look not back upon the past. its sorrows, its cares, its failures, and its sin, with that paralysing regret that darkens the eve to the new and glori Acous possibilities of the future. cept the past as a finality that no years of agonised sorrow can change, hut see in the future the revelation of the true way in which to walk. See rising from the disobedience the re• surrection of the law you may obey, the new light of higher wisdom. Know t hat the life without regret is the life without gain. Regret is but the light of fuller knowledge illuming our path. It is the sunrise of new truth. in the glorious mystery of nature, following the dark sunset of errors. THE ACOLYTE. The little lad who serves the Mass Is snowy-surpliced: and I know His feet are slippered, too.' to pass All soft and seemly to and fro. He seems ridiculously small To serve in such a solemn place: No painted cherub on the wall Has half so angel-like a face. In that small baby voice I hear The stately Latin words - are strange While for his baby strength I fear When he essays the book to change Yet tiny as he seems, he goes Throughout the Mass without flaw, As one who intimately knows The Church's sanctuary law.
a
0, curly-headed altar boy. If I could have my dreams come t rue, I would retrace the years with joy To serve the Mass the same as you! - -Donis A. McCarthy. RESPECT FOR THE BLESSED SACRAMENT. All his life St. Alphonsus gave proof of an ex:ceptionally strong and loving faith in the Presence of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. When he was old and crippled, weakened by illness and so stiffened that every moment caused pain, he clung resolutely to his manner of entering the church. For him no sketchy genuflections, no halfbending on the knee. Brought to the church by thsse who 'loved him and who counted it a privilege to be allowed to help him. he always insisted on making a cornplete genuflection, no matter what pain it cost him. What a lesson for us in these days of hurried entrance into the church, these days of the scarcely courteous leaving of the Presence of the King! - -MISTAKES. "There are six mistakes of life that mans' of us make.- said a famous English author recently. Then he gave t he following list:— The delusion that individual advancement is made by crushirg , •thers down. The tendency to worry about things that cannot he shanged or corrected. Insisting that a thing is impossible because we ourselves cannot accomplish it. Refusing to set aside trivial preferences. in order that important things may be accomplished. Neglecting development and refinement of the mind by not acquiring the habit of reading. A tterentir,:, to compel other persons to believe and live as we do. LOVE OF GOD.

The Abbe Bergey, who is organising the international pilgrimage to Lourdes, is said to be one of the most picturesque ex-soldier priests in any country. He is often said to be the original of the popular story "Mon Cure chez les Riches," who returns to his country parish and scandalises his rich parishioners by talking army slang and by his camaraderie with the Actually, Abbe Berworking class. gey returned to his parish of St. Emilion, in France, and was soon compelled by local opinion to stand for Parliament.

Herriot's anti-clerical campaign, which resulted in the National Catholic Federation under the presidency of General de Castelnau. si • The crown over the miraculous pieture of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Patroness of Latin-American countries, Though the crown has been stolen. contains no valuable metal, it has intrinsic value since it is engraved with the escutcheons of all the dioceses in Mexico. Munich police have forbidden the publication by newspapers of religious supplements, says the "Daily TeleAn order on graph" correspondent. the subject states that according to the Press law of October 4, 1933, "newspapers are political organs, and there can therefore be no such things as religious newspapers." His Highness Prince Hendrich, the late Consort of Queen Wilhelmina, of Holland, who died a short time ago, although a Protestant, was beloved by the Catholics of the country. He was a great friend of the Catholics, and was a frequent visitor at Catholic institutions. Ile spent a few hour 3 at the Woerden Franciscan Monastery just a few days before his death. The prince was a dinner guest of the friars. and joined in their recreation in the The prince greatly admired garden.

One hundred and sixty new priests were ordained in 12 seminaries in Czechoslovakia during the school year recently closed. Last year there were 129 ordinations. When word was flashed to the w orld that Pope Pius XI. had left the walls of the Vatican and established his residence for the remainder of the summer, at Castelgandolfo, 15 miles from Rome, a Papal precedent of 65 years was broken. It marked the first tjrne since 1870 that a Pope has remained outside the Vatican overFollowing the seizure night. of Rome in that year, the Popes remain ed voluntary prisoners in the Vatican, an example set by Pius IX., the last Pope to make use of the Papal summer villa. The Most Rev. Thomas Gorman, Bishop of Reno (U.S.A.), pictures the size of his diocese as "territorially the second largest ecclesiastical subdivision in the country, comprising some 110,000 square miles." "It is the most sparsely settled state in the union. Slightly less than 10,000 Nevadans are Catholics," he says. Died in a Dublin nursing home, Father Tim O'Sullivan, brother-in-law of "Sceilig." Sprung from a stock with great military and ecclesiastical traditions, he was in his twelfth Year the trusted courier of the Fenians of Cahirciveen and often slept in the open with the men on the run.

Rev. Joseph P. Riley is the first American priest to be ordained in the Congregation of Stigmatine Fathers. His first Solemn High Mass was celebrated in Gate of Heaven Church, Boston, his native parish. He was born January, 1910. • The strange sight of a religious procession in Russia, after 17 years of Communism, recently caused the Communist Party newspaper, "Pravda," to suggest a committee consideration of the matter. The procession went from a church at the village of Jaransk, near Gorky, erected an altar in the parched rye field of a collective farm, and heard a priest offer prayers for rain. Communist President Sush entzey, of the Jaransk Village Soviet was unable to prevent the religious action, as the district executive committee had ordered him not to hinder religious processions to collective fields. However, neighbouring village Soviet Presidents prevented processions in split committee actions.

His Highness Ravi Varina, 11th Prince of Cochin, presiding at an assembly of women teachers recently, ernprasisecl the woman's role in the home. "Our women have enough to do at home in building up the character of the future statesmen, artists and poets." stated the Prince, "and they have tremendous responsibilities. The ideal home is the cry of the times, and our women :should be educated along these lines, and they should be reminded that the Indian ideal of womanhood is "modesty, which means, not ignorance but innocence, not seclusion but service, not a Slavish mentality but a cheerful acceptance of social obligations." He warned the women of India against a slavish imitation of Western women in matters of dress, manners and domestic relations.

A council of the chief men decided to suspend all business for the day as a mark of mourning. intense excitement prevailed. Palai is the home of an ancient and prosperous Catholic community, dating from the days of St Thomas the Apostle.
The Reverend Dr. Ryang, native Methodist Bishop of Seoul, Korea, in a letter to the Editor of the "Seoul Press," June 28, praised the pioneer work of Catholic missionaries in the Hermit Kingdom. "I know that the Catholic missionaries have been in Korea for more than one hundred years, and I admire the heroism of the priesthood and the sacrificial service of the Sisterhood in that historic Church. When we say, The blood of martyrs is the seed of the Church' in Korea, we mean the blood of the Catholic Christians. We ought to give .tie respect to the Catholics in this country. ' The Tlishop's letter was a sequel to an article printed in the same journal two weeks previous.
