Melbourne's Tribute to Our Eucharistic King Impressive Opening of Congress sides. Archbishop Mannix sat at the right hand of the Legate. Reading the Papal Brief.
HIS EMINENCE -CARDINAL asa From all parts of Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific Islands, and from all the Continents, with the exception of America, prelates and other dignitaries of the Catholic Church came to Melbourne to take part in the National Eucharistic Congress, which was opened by His Eminence Cardinal MacRory, the Papal Legate, in St. Patrick's Cathedral, Mel,.„ on Sunday last, when he celebrated Pontifical High Mass. Thousands of people were present at the cere,nony both within the Cathedral and outside in the streets. The scene in the Cathedral was of gre: t splendour and devotion. It was an inspiring spectacle when, at the moment of Consecration, 5,000 who waited outside the C athedral knelt in the rain. Thirty minutes before the ceremonies began St Patrick's Cathedral was filled with worshippers. Many w ere compelled to stand or kneel devoutly for more than three hours. With the arrival of Cardinal Mac. Rory at the great west door the sunlight began to break through leaden skies, and, as he entered it streamed through the beautiful stained glass windows. Clad in his red ce_rdinal's r obes and cappa magna, the Papal Legate walked through the Growded Cathedral, the worshippers sinking their knees to receive his blessing tc as he passed. With mien, the Legate continued tostately the SAnctuarY, f ollowed by an impressive retinue of fifty Archbishops and all parts of Australia Bishops from and from New Zealand and South Africa anci the Pacific Islands. In the body of the Cathedral were 300 priests wearing soutanes and surplices. The Legate took his seat on thePapal throne, which was draped in white satin and surmounted by the Papal coat of arms. Beside Cardinal MacRory, a magnificent figure in the Papalscarlet robes and biretta, sat hamberlains, in black velvet and gold lace and with richly decorated sword scabbards at their
rails, and delivered an address of welcome to the Legate. • He welcomed him personally because he had been associated with him for 25 years at He welcomed Maynooth College. him as the representative of Pope Pius XI., the Vicar of Christ,- and he welcomed him as the Primate of all Ireland, the motherland of most of the Roman Catholic people in Australasia.
After Cardinal MacRory had vested for the celebration of Pontifical High Mass, Monsignor Lonergan, as assistant priest, read the Papal Brief from the top of the altar steps. The Briet —the Pope's message to the Cardinal, giving him authority to open the Congress—was read first in the Latin of In reply, Cardinal MacRory referthe original and then in English, ad- red to the course of a century or so dressed to "Our beloved son, Joseph during which, he said, a great proMacRory, Cardinal Priest of the Holy gressive and virile church had sprung ,Roman Church, under the title of St. up in this country.

HIS EXCELLENCY DR. BERNARDINT. APOSTOLIC DELEGATE.
Anglican Archbishop's Tribute to Catholic Church The visiting prelates to the Eucharistic Congress attended in their robes the Melbourne Town Hall, on Monday last, when the Lord Mayor (Councillor Wales) extended an offi-.sial welcome to the Papal Legate, Cardinal MacRory. and the visiting prelates. Of especial interest was the presence of Archbishop Head, leader of the Anglican Church in Melbourne, who expressed to the Papal Legate the good wishes of the Anglican body. A fter the Lord Mayor's speech and the Legate's response, Archbishop Head rose to address the audience, and he was greeted with prolonged applause. "I -am grateful to you for the way you have received me," he said, "because I have said and done things you may hardly approve of and because your weTcome shows me the real Christianity which binds us together." Archbishop Head said that he was glad to :attend the gathering for several reasons. Firstly, it had been a great pleasure to meet Cardinal MacRory. Tie had never met a Cardinal in the flesh before. Cardinal MacRory had been so courteous that one felt that if all Cardinals were like him it would be difficult to stand outside their Church. Secondly, he had a very great regard for the Catholic Church, and he would like its members to know that whatever he might feel it right to say, he had a tremendous re-3pect for them. He knew their wonderful history and was thrilled to see how they were carrying out the Congress "It is not often that I come to the Town Hall,' said Archbishop Mannix, in a pleasant speech, "but when I do I come with great pleasure, and always in excellent company. I am particularly delighted to find that the Cardinal has made such a deep impression on Archbishop Head. I have used all my wiles in an endeavour to convert him, but I confess that a.s a missionary in that -field T was a complete failure." 00-11 011. ,

On Sunday, S.I.0 played its last A ssociation match for 1934 against Calingiri, and defeated that team S. c omfortably on the irst innings. O 'Dea, the visiting captain, called c orrectly and decided to take the field. Promptly at 11.15 a.m. the College openers, Harrold and Spackman, appeared, and the former took strike The bowling did not to Gaudge. appear difficult, and Harrold was unlucky to be bowled by a ball that kept very low. Maher was the next batsman, and he opened his account by pulling the first ball to the leg fence, but was dismissed shortly after in attempting a big, hit off Gaudge, whose length was improving. Brother Charles joined Spackman and commenced by pulling Gaudge for four and driving the next ball to the boundary. At the bottom end King, whose three overs had not been impressive, gave way to N. YoungThe change met with immediate success, when the third delivery, an in-swinger, took Brother Charles' off stump. At lunch the score was 3 for 37.

The actual demands of the Christian International for the workers of the world were extensive and far reaching.

Examine the records. and see the statements regarding the murder of Dr. Dollfuss. From statements of that kind they might weigh the yabie of Irish Labour's Christian ambitions. Were the mass of Catholic workers satisfied with these statements? Another objection might be raised because of the number of Protestants in Irish Labour Unions. Already they had seen that two Protestant Irish Labours leaders asserted the Christian stand of Irish Labour. There could be no difficulty to those who believed in Christianity in joining a declared Christian Union. They need not fear that their persuasion would be in the least offended, or that they would materially suffer by the declaration of allegiance. The International was called Chris tian precisely because of some Protestant Unions in Holland which are affiliated.

Present Position of the Queens. MISS CATH. DAVIES—the Loreto Queen—now heads the poll, and when we consider the amount of activity put into the past two weeks, we must admit that she well deserves her position. There has been a lot of talk in other camps quite recently as to her true position, and the news that she now heads the poll will cause a reasonable amount of anxiety among the other competitors Her Children's Party and Tennis Tournament last week were a great success. The main feature on her programme is a big House Party, at her home, 48th. First Avenue, Mt. Lawley, on Tuesday next, December 12.

MISS PAT RYAN—Victoria Square Queen—is a close second. She, no doubt, will hold a prominent place in the competition, and who beats her will have to go some! "Pat" has a large circle of friends, and no doubt they will be her staunch supporters on the grounds. Her Old Girls' Evening and Children's Party last week were outstanding successes. She is having a House Party in the home of Mrs. Perry, 39 Nicholson-road. Subiaco, on Thursday next, December 13. Pat is not superstitious!

MISS GWEN DONOVAN—Choirs' Queen—is now doing exceptionally well, and in many circles she is already declared the winning Queen. She had a very nice and successful evening in St. Brigid's Hall. West Perth, during the week. She had a House Party at the home of Mrs. O'Dea, Thomas-street, on Friday evening, and as the Yanks say: "Boy, what a crowd!" Gwen's position on the board will be altered next week. • MISS CISSIE D'ARCY.—Well it v.as bad luck that "Ciss" -took ill. She is home from St. John's, but must naturally keep quiet for some time. This bit of had luck will no doubt win her an amount of sympathy, which will help her candidature along. Her position remains unaltered since last week, and she is still last on the list. However, her committee are confident that next week she will move up

The Queen Carnival contest reached Carnival Coronation finality at a dance on Friday, November 30. There was a splendid attendance at this function, which was enjoyed by all. T hroughout the evening until 11 p.m., when the voting stopped and resu1t of contest was announced, a wave of ex citement kept all the patrons on their toes, after which, if not light - hearted, they were certainly pocket -light. On completion of counting of votes by c >mmittee, the chairman (Mr. -Jim Dwyer) called on the Very Rev. Dean Brennan to announce the results. The Dean, in declaring the Belmont candidate (Miss M. Ryding) first, Miss Dot Lawrence (Children of Mary candidate), second, and Miss Joyce Kent ( Tennis and Hibernian candidate), tMf ,..-/ in the con(..:st, congratulated them and their committees on the splendid result of having raised a total sum of £167 in so short a period.

Father Jordan, of Mullumbimbi; Rev. Father Connaghan, of Belmore, Sydney; Rev. Father Phelan, of Lewisham, Sydney; Rev. Mother Lubia and Rev. Mother Francois. The last two are Missionaries of Mary at Chefoo (China), who have been here on furlough. They had reached Brisbane an their return trip, but were recalled to attend the Congress. Other visitors were the Vicar Apostolic of Rabaul (Bishop Vesters), and the Vicar Apostolic of the Gilbert Islands (Bishop Bach). , From New Zealand came a large delegation of ecclesiastics and laymen. Visiting priests from Western Australia included Very Rev. Father Neville, Superior of the Oblate Fathers. Father Winston (Editor of The Record") and the Very Rev. Father Grogan, C.SS.R., Rector, Reclemptorist Monastery. Very rarely has a national Eucharistic Congress drawn so large and so representative a gathering of distinguished visitors as the Melbourne Congress has drawn, and never before has the Pope appointed a Legate to represent him at any but a Congress of international status. It is the prac-
tice of the Pope to appoint a Legate only to the International Eucharistic Congresses, which are held every second year, and in a different country, each time until all the great cities 751 the world have had their turn. The last Congress was held in Buenos Aires this year. The first and only one to be held in Australia took place at Sydney in 1928, when the late Cardinal Ceretti was Papal Legate. The programme of the Congress was an elaborate one, and included a number of religious ceremonies, and lectures and addresses by men of outstanding learning and eminence in the Church. Father Martindale, the eminent Jesuit writer and lecturer, who took part in the Sydney Congress six years ago, and was at the recent International Congress at Buenos Aires, has several appointments for lectures. The expectation at time of going to press with this report is that the largest demonstrations will take place at the Show Grounds, where an altar has been erected for the celebration of Masses. Great crowds will be able to attend the ceremonies there ,(weather permitting) on 6th. December ( Men's Night), 7th. December (Children's Day), and 8th. December (Women's Mass). Around the altar has been erected an elaborate structure with a large canopy and stepped dome, surmounted by a cross. To the left of the canopy is a throne for the Papal Legate. Seating accommodation has been arranged for 25,000 people, with emergency seating_ for 10.000 more. One of the most spectacular features of the whole Congress will be
witnet,sed at the men's night, when some thousands of men in the arena at a given signal will hold up lighted candles. The outstanding event of the Congress should be the final procession on Sunday, when the Cardinal Legate will carry the Blessed Sacrament through the streets of Melbourne, and the concluding Benediction Will be given from a specially erected platform in front of the balcony of Mt. St. Evin's Hospital. Many thousands will take part in the procession, and a far greater number of people of all denominations will watch the concluding ceremony. It will be impossible for everyone tc witness this final stage of the Congress. 120 loud speakers be installed at points in all the main streets of the city, so that all the music and every word pronounced by the Cardinal Legate and his assistants may be heard by all sections of the crowd. The ceremonies at St. Patrick's Cathedral were broadcasted, and the Cathedral grounds were illuminated at night by powerful floodlights. Amplifiers installed for a considerable distance around the Cathedral enabled the music and the ceremonies to be heard by many thousands of people in the surrounding streets, as far away as the Fitzroy Gardens. The principal events of the Congress were broadcast throughout Australia by the national stations. Pontifical High Mass will be celebrated by Archbishop 'Mannix in St. Patrick's Cathedral to-day (Saturday), and there will be Midnight Masses also in most of the metropolitan churches.
Monday Morning at St. Patrick's Cardinal Madory at Werribee Long i,:ore Pontifical High Mass was to begin on Monday morning, St. Patrick's Cathedral was filled with earnest worshippers, hundreds -of whom c .old not find seats and were obliged o stand during the two-hour In the Cathedral grounds service. groups of people, despairing of finding room inside ,gathered round the am' plifiers which broadcast the music and the adrift ss of the Bishop of the Northern S•olomons (Dr. Wade). Forty Archbishops, Bishops and Monsignori followed the Apostolic Delegate down the centre aisle of the Cathedral to the great white, throne in the Sanctuary. where he was vested with cope and mitre. The front pews were occupied by 200 clergy in soutane and surplice- monks and friars in their respective habits, and, in the front row, two dark-skinned boys from the Sac red Heart Mission in Eastern Papua, their eager faces aglow with excitement as they watched the briliant as• semblage and the richly symbolic ceremonies. For the Mass four silver trumpets were brought to Melbourne from Europe, through the generosity of Coun tess Freehill, of Sydney, and 'at the Elevation of the Host they were played in the choir gallery by four uniformed trumpeters from the 'West mead Boys' Band, _S_ydney, which is in charge of the Marist Brothers. The beautiful fanfare which followed the ringing of the Consecration bell was an impressive accompaniment to the service. Missionary Section of the Congress Bishops from missions in the Pacific Islands, from China, and missionary clergy from the north and west of Australia assembled at the Church of SS. Peter and Paul, South Melbourne, on Monday, when the Apostolic Dele• gate (Archbishop Bernardini ) presided at the opening of the missionary section of the Congress. The prelates on the dais were Bishop Wade (Nor thern Solomons( , Bishop Vesters (Rao haul), Bishop Nicholas (Fiji) , Bishop Bach, Bishop Galvin (China), the Vicar- Apostolic of the Kimberleys ( Monsignor Raible), Lord Abbot Catalan, 0.5.13.. of New Norcia (Western Australia), and Monsignors Martin Collins and Lonergan. Among the many priests in the church was Father Long, parish priest c'f Central Australia.

A stirring appeal to young Australian priests and nuns to enter missionary fields in the East, especially China, which he said was the harvest ripe for missionary effort, was made in an eloquent sermon by the Bishop of the Northern Solomons (Dr. Thomas Wade). For two hours people filed past the Papal Legate (Cardinal MacRory), when he held a reception at the Town Hall. No tickets v'ere required for the reception, and more than 8.000 took the opportunity to greet the Pope's representative at the National Eucharistic Congress., When the Prime Minister (Mr. Lyons) arrived he was escorted to the dais, and after conversing with Cardinal Mac Rory for a few minutes. he sat (or a time at his side

Melbourne's Catholic Tribute On Sunday last, in St. Patrick's Cathedral, Melbourne, His Eminence Cardinal MacRory, Legate of the Holy Father, opened the National Eucharistic Congress, which was the Catholic Church's contribution to the Centenary Celebrations. It was, from the published accounts of the Congress, no mean contribution. On the contrary, it was a great one, enhancing as it did in a unique spiritual sense the material celebration of what we must regard as a historic event. It was a happy thought that inspired His Grace Dr. Mannix to project such a great undertaking, and the wonderful success that has accompanied its development from the initial stages up to the present, and yin, with the Divine assistance, be with it to the conclusion of the programme should be a gratifying return for all the patient labour and anxiety it brought its promoters. Without the Eucharistic Congress the Centenary Celebrations, though attractive from the material side, would have w anted something to give them a setting that would appeal in a spiritual sense to that not important boys of its Catholic citizens who are intimately associated with our sister State's development and progress. • • • The .,rogress of the Catholic Church in this country has been marked by ' many tribulations truly, but, notwithstanding her story c f progres•4 and achievement, it has been such that the Catholic student of history in his researches may turn to it with pride and satisfaction. She has had her grey days, but she also had her days of sunshine—days of digappoi.ament and apparent disaster. but she has also had her successes and consoling triumphs. The little grain of mustard seed sown by Therry and nursed by his Apostolic followers, has grown into a virile tree that has spread its branches throughout this great Commonwealth. The obstacles to the Church's advance in this country by those who had brought to it Old World prejudices, have been beaten down by the genius, industry and intrepidity of the pioneers in the missiork field and in education. Their records are luminous with splendid sacrifices and indomitable perseverance. Though in this country the Catholic Church is denied her full measure of justice and recognition, she exists to-day within this Commonwealth an activity that cannot be discounted as an integral national asset. In the great gathering of her Churchmen, who came from almost every part of the world, her universality, has been shown. The Congress was the expression of her unity and wide-reaching influence. • • • The tribute paid by the Catholic Church 'in Melbourne to the Centenary Celebrations was, apart from the spiritual importance of the Congress. a great honour to the State and its citizens. It has dignified the celebrations and it has considerably enhanced the finances of the committee. Why there should have been so much fuss in the commencement of Dr. Mannix's work for the Congress is, to say the least of the controversy over the carrying of the Blessed Sacrament in procession along a highway, something very strange. However, whatever occult reason' there was behind that unfortunate controversy. the Anglican Archbishop has. by a gracious gesture. in great measure made amends for his part in it. The Eucharistic Congress. now drawing to a close, has shown the nonCatholic citizens of Melbourne that the Catholic people are a vital body. and their influenc,. is not to be denied. But. of course, they knew that before. . One great truth emphasised by the National Eucharistic Congress is that Catholic belief in the Real Presence is the bond of union between Catholics whatever their nation or clime, and that the Catholic doctrine of the Real Presence in the Blessed Eucharist is the real driving force behind the wonderful and inspiring incentives of her missionary men and women who t hemAcIves out in their redemptorist efforts in heathen lands. Their work without the aids of the Holy Eucharist would be discouraging and heart-breaking—it is the Real Presence in the Messed Sacrament that sustains them in their labours. When the s o-called r4ormers of the Reformation overturned the Altar and vetoed the Mass, they let loose a horde of evils that have piled up legacies of -trouble for the Christian world. The glory and consolation of the Catholic Church to-day is her Eucharistic King. The work of the devout Marie Tamisier to spread devotion to the Blessed Eucharist has found its ultimate in the Eucharistic Congresses that are being held throughout the world.. They are s weading very effectively devotion to the great Central figure of the Mass, and they are knitting together the widespread legions of the Church of Christ. and making manifest to mankind her mission on earth. It is her . . . . high dutv of beauty. worth moral world the the To teach And stamp God's image truly on the struggling soul."

"Talking of absence of formality, he said. "reminds me of an incident that happen' to me when out riding one evening not long ago.

THE RECORD.
Propagation of the Faith Remarkable Congress Gathering Pontifical High Mass for members of Religious Orders was the outstanding feature of the Eucharistic Congress on Tuesday last. At St. Patrick's Cathedral 3,500 priests, nuns, and brothers of Religious Orders were were present in the congregation, which represented Orders whose history stretches back to the early centuries of the Church—Franciscan Ter Dominicans, tiaries, Augustinian Friars, Vincentians, French de la Salle Brothers, Salesian Brothers, _Passionists, Marists and Redemptorists. There were Sisters of Mercy, Good Samaritans, Sisters of Charity, Faithful Companions of Jesus, Presentation, Brigidine, and Loreto Nuns. A small group of French Sisters of Charity were conspicuous because of their distinctive coif or large white headdress. This coif was given to the Order by St. Vincent de Paul to make its wearers inconspicuous. Th4t was in old Brittany, where the first nuns of the Order moved about among fisherwomen who also wore the large white coif.
The Papal Legate (Cardinal MacRory) was present, and the celebrant for the Mass was Archbishop Hayden, of Hobart. He was assisted by the Rev. John Donovan, with the Rev. Maurice Brosnan as deacon and' the Rev. Edward Fennessy as sub-deacon. Cardinal MacRory entered the pulpit before the Benediction at the end of the Mass. He said that as he would not have another opportunity of speaking to the congregation he wanted to say a few words before giving the Pope's Blessing. "You are responsible for the instruction and formation of the character of our Catholic children," Cardinal MacRory said. It is an exacting responsibility but an extremely noble one." Cardinal MacRory also spoke of the work of those engaged in work in hospitals, orphanages, industrial institutions, homes for the aged poor, visitation of the poor and reclamation of unfortunate women. "It is Christ-like work," he said, "and He will take it as though it were done to Himself." Cardinal MacRory then solemnly gave the Pope's Blessing.

Souvenirs of 8th of December What a beautiful Feast that was, .in days gone by, in "The Litle Seminary,'. that of the 8th. December, .the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. Certainly devotion to the Blessed Virgin is common to all Religious Houses, but I think that with us it was even deeper and more filial than elsewhere. Really, during the ten months of .the year that we spent in "The Little Seminary' the Holy Virgin held the place of our absent mothers, whom we missed so nut& Her image was everywhere; not only in the chapel, but in the study, in the dormitory, in the refectory, in the corridors, and in front of the house. At the end of a long avenue of old elm trees her statue was again enthroned on a stone dais surrounded by a little garden. Weather permitting. each morning, on quitting the dormitory, one went to salute her. This visit was not obligatory, but none the less sweet, and even the less piotis °ries seldom missed this salutation. Then, on the Feast day itself, what joy, what prolonged rejoicing, far into the night, more beautiful than the day. As soon as daylight waned, the Seminary, with its central clock-tower and its two wings were transformed into a marvellous edifice of light. Not the cold, rigid light of electric lamps, but the living palpitating lights of thousands of candles. which glass shades protected from the breeze. Beautiful flames, thousands of them, sensitive as _eyes and as mobile ac thoughts burnt steadily. In the centre of the building a still more brilliant circle of lights surrounded the statue of the Immaculate, and before this Marial repository all the evening sounded forth glorious c anticles, sung with the joyous faith of youth. Our bass parts were haps not very deep, but on the perhand how cristalline were our other sopranos. Voices mounted high, frail and pure lilies. Ah! the beautiful, sweet Feast! And now I wonder what have they done with that house. For many years, alas! on the 8th. December, it is no longer, lit up with pious ardour. They- have stolen those precious stones and put them to lay uses! _I do not know what has become of statues of the Blessed Virgin, those which once adorned them. It is that they may still he there possible But no longer are canticles neglected fore them, and I can even sung beimagine that on the evening of Feast of the ImmaculateDecember 8, Conception, these stones weep!

Children of Mary Sodality, Victoria Square The last meeting and "break-up" for 1934 took the form of a lecture and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament, in the Convent Chapel, followed by the privilege of having afternoon tea in the spacious Community room of the Convent. During a very practical lecture, the girls were given lots of good advice to draw upon during the holidays about to come. Then followed words of sincere praise of our Directress, Sister M. Kevin, to whose inspiration we owe one of the most successful years in the records of the Society. After that, our President, Miss K. Willoughby, received a well-deserved share of eulogy for the energetic and capable way she has fulfilled her 'Filen the girls, as a body, duties. were commended for their excellent spirit, earnestness, and faithful attendance at meetings. It was the last time this year that the Socialists would, in a body, receive the blessing of God, and it seemed that a more beautiful setting could not be found for this significant ceremony, than the serene dignity of the Convent Chapel. with its snowy walls and highly polished floors, of inlaid wood, its white altar on which stood tall vases of purple avapanthus, and its two bright sanctuary windows, where the virginia creeper taps upon the panes with gentle but never ceasing insistence, as though trying to reach the Prisoner of Love within. And blending with all this beauty rose the rich voices of the Sisters in hymns of love and praise. Surely no hymns are so sweet as sung from the hearts of those who have left all for His sake. They seem to breathe one thing—sincerity. --"` The Sodalists streamed out into the sunshine of a beautiful November afternoon, and entered the Community room, where afternoon tea was dispensed by the Sisters and greatly appreciated by the girls whose chatter must have astonished those quiet w alls. • Then came a wander in the lovely' garden, and tennis for those who were inclined for it, a little chat or two with various Sisters, and the afternoon had fled. Good-byes to our dear Directress, mutual expressions of good wishes for Christmas, and so ended our Sodality activities for 1934. Father Kelly wishes all the "little black books'. and money to be handed in at the Church Office on Thursday, when the President will be there to receive thm •
The indoor cricket match furnished a very interesting event. The first few minutes' play produced a succession of singles, M - en F. Guelfii drove a loose ball to the boundary, but was clean bowled witil the next. Lyons and Pascoe were a useful partnership, and reached double figures before being separated. Several wickets fell cheaply, until Dr. Goody and Len Walker became associated in a brilliant partnership, which produced 80. The tail-enders offered little resistance to the accurate attack. The innings closed for 134. George Guelfi gave a sprightly exhibition until he was caught in the outfield for a brilliant 69. A rot followed, until Phil Rielly and George McMullen became associated in a partnership of 41. The only other player to reach double figures was Dr. Goody, who as jack of all sides made a valuable 26. The innings closed for 151. In the second innings George Guelfi's side made a score of 209. The highlights were Mick Peterson 86. Bob Hearne 32, and Peter Vladich 36 Our thanks are due to Father Kelly for the use of the main Cathedral Hall which enabled the match to be played so succ..essflil.'y, Last Wednesday's Beach Party. So successful was this function that everybody is already asking when the next one will be. Two motor lorries and four cars were needed to convey members and their friends to Scar' borough, where an enjoyable evening was spent in playing games, singing, swimming and dancing. The thanks of the club are due to Messrs. T. Burke and J. Waters for tte loan of their lorries, and to Messrs. R. Lees, J. Leslie and F. Guelfi for cars. ..,Another Sing or Recite Night. Our meetings for 1934 will be brought to a close on Wednesday, the 19th. inst., with another sing or recite night. This proved a very popular turn about a month ago, and we expect members to be present in order to bring the year's activities to a close.

Our Short Story
The Ransom ( By Edwin Essex, 0.P.) (Concluded.;
Of course, I've heard of such things happening," Mrs. Flint was saying to a group of 'neighbours a few days later, "hut enly in America. I never dream ed of such goings- on in this country. But seeing's beliving, I always have said." "Read us the letter again, will you, Mrs. Flint?" requested one of the ladies of Paradise Lane, "I'd like to be able to tell folks just what it says." "Yes, do read it again, please, Mrs. Flint," echoed the chorus. Mrs. Flint, swelling with a new impenance, drew a sheet of paper from her apron pocket. "This is what it says," she began, with a tearful sniff "and the words will burn me till I pass away: 'If Mrs. Flint desires the safe return of her husband, Henry, she will bring the sum of one thousand pounds to the Pyetock Crossroads at nine o'clock tomorrow, Monday, night. and hand same to a masked man who will be standing near the signposts-. Mrs. Flint must come alone, otherwise writer will not be responsible for tte fate of her husband. Pay the ransom and Mr. Flint will be set free at once.' That's what the letter says." "It's written by someone who knows you've got the money," one neighbour remarked wisely. Mrs. Flint bridled. "Well, everybody knows we've got it," she retorted. - Wasn't it in all the papers?" "And your husband disappeared the after the money was handed over didn't he, Mrs. Flint?" another asked "The day after. He went out in the morning as usual to his work, and never came home in the evening. If I went to the Swinging Gate to look for him once I went a dozen times. And I didn't like what they said to me. either." "What did they say. Mrs. Flint?" asked a sharp-faced woman scathingly. -nothing personal, I do hope.' Mrs. Flint ignored the question. "Just fancy him being kidnapped," put in the next-door neighbour: "from what I've seen of him hç doesn't seem w orth kidnapping." "That's quite enough from you, Mrs. Pettit. if you please," snapped Mrs. Flint. "There's no better husband in the Lane than my Henry." "What I say is that husbands are what you make them. Mrs. Flint You've made him what he is if anybody has." another woman interposed soothingly, if ambiguously. 'Why not go to the police about it?" a voice suggested brightly Mrs. Flint knew why not, so did the neighbours. The queetion had been asked by a recent acquisition to Paradise Lane. There had been a slight difference of opinion some ten years ago between Mr. Flint and the police "Talk sense." said Mrs. Flint. eyeing the group of women stonily: "this is a private affair. and I don't want any meddling." "Rut what are von going to dn. Mrs. Flint?" asked two or three eager voices-. "Are you gcing to pay the ransom. It seems an awful lot of money to pay for a husband." "Ts any husband worth all that money? That's what I want to knote." The words were spoken feelingly. "MY husband is. if that's what You mean." Mrs. Flint retorted sharply. "Of course, I shall pay the more"— this very night. No one shall e ver say of Emma Flint that she preferred lucre to love." The eentiment met with general, if uncertain, approval. and Mrs. Flint tinned and entered number fiftythree with the knowledge that she had said the right thing at the right time Rut her reactions as she gazed ai tre door of the corner cupboard were div. •hestle mixed.

"I hope you're right," said Mr. Flint doubtfully. Sitting drenched to the skin in a ditch on a cold, wild night robbed the adventure of a let of its original glamour. "I do hope you're right,' he repeat ed. "You'll say so when you're settled in a comely cottage witn the cocks and hens ad ciuceing round you, Me. Flint And can't I just see you! There you are in your shirt sleeves, and a pail of corn in your hand, coming out into the poultry yard first thing in the morning. Lovely air, too, and dew on the grios. ere'. the smell ot the flow ers: real paradise, that, for a man who kncws. No Paradise Lane, either:. ne smells • no dust bins; no cackling w. men. The hens'll do all the cackling. What do you say to that, gi?" "Go on,' Mr, 'Flint said drelnily. The pedlar was quite willing to go on. "Then you'll go round and collect the eggs and get 'em ready for market, and perhaps a bit of cold chicken for breakfast and a couple of fresh eggs, and then a good morning's work cleaning up till your wife comes to the cottage door, all smiles like, and whistles you to come in to your dinner— -" "Just stick to facts, will you?" Mr. Flint requested, becase the last few details had made him flinch, and the dream was far too good to spoil. "Oh, all right. No offence meant. None at all. Well, your missus doesn't come to the door, but you catch the lovely smell of bacon and cabbage as you pass the kitchen window-"I wish I could catch it now." said Mr. Flint longingly." —"and you come in. hungry as a hunter, and with a song on yoar lips—" "No, not that. My wife never could abide my voice whenever I sang at weddings or funerals." Rut Mr. Flint was no longer listening. Fifty yards down the road his eyes caught the dim outside of an approaching figure. He knew that figure, though it was not the one he had married. "She's coming," he whispered. and a loari•of doubt slid from his _heart. "I never thought she would. You were right, mister." His companion was at once on the alert. The dreamy voice became sharp. staccato. "You know what vou have to do." he instructed rapidly. "I'll go and stand under the sign-post, and you stay here out of sight. If she sees you, we're lost. Then, when she's handed over the ondle. I'll go straight along to the public house we had that drink in and wait for you in the bar parlour. But- mind you don't come nut until she's well out of sight. Give her ten minutes or so. Perhaps she'll hang about a bit. inquisitive like. Mum's the word. and don't even breathe. Here goes for the chicken farm!" The old pedlar raised himself out of the ditch. slipped a strip of black cloth o ver his eves, and drew from his pocket what looked like a revolver. "What's that?" demanded Mr. Flint nervously. "not a gun, is it?" The pedlar smiled cynically. He opened his hand, and the astonished Mr. Flint saw that a briar pip. held stem outwards, made an excOlentlooking revolver. "The realistic touch." grinned the pedlar. "now. quiet!" Mr. Flint scarcely needed tin waning.

HEADACHES and NERVE STRAIN are
EVERYDAY COMPLAINTS
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING rid of a Headache is to use a medicine getting in that is not only effective—but one that does not have any injurious after effects on the s ystem. For over eighteen years 'ASPRO' has proved itself throughout the world the safe and certain method for relieving headaches and soothing frayed nerves. The principal factor is the purity of 'ASPRO' purity which conforms to the standard laid down by the British Pharmacopoeia. the guiding authority of the Medical Profession. In 'ASPRO' there is no Phenacetin or Caffeine, and in its purity lies its safety. Always take 'ASPRO' for the relief of headaches — nerviness -- and everyday pains and aches from which the average person is prone to suffer when least expected. 111110.

On July 18, 1334. the foundation-stone was laid with great ceremony, and accordinv. to Vasari, the very deep foundations had been prepared with special care. It was only in the preceding April that Giotto had taken up his appoint ment as "master and governer" of the cathedral of Santa Reparata and of all other public buildings, and in a document referring to it ate i; described as "expertus et famosus vie and "iimanus magistes."

"These Agents of Hell" Protest Against Unclean Films In America recently the modern motion picture was described as "the most desolating influence that ever crept over the world," and the C Atholic Church was thanked for the lead it has taken in fighting the evil, by Bishop Edwin D. Monson. s..a prelate of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, at the Baltimore Congress of the denomination. The saloon, in pre-prohilaition days, was desolating, Bishop Mouzon said, adding that it also is to-clay. He continued: "But I am about to reach the conclusion that tbe filthy, lewd, sex -filled pictures shown our children, stimulating emotions for beyond their years, is the most damning influence that ever swept out of hell. -I thank God that the Roman Catholic Church took the lead in this fight. The time has come when everyone who believes in God. the Ten Commandments. the sanctity of the home, and decency—Jew, Roman Catholic and Protestant—must stick together. "The motion picture is here to stay with its marvellous educational opportunities. We had better wake up and stand for law and order and decency, and put a stop to exposing our boys and girls to this filth that flows from Hollywood." Bishop Mouzon then urged the members of the Congress to take back to their charges, and have all mem bers of the Church sign and return a pledge beginning: "I wish to join with other Protestants, co-operating with Catholics and Jews, in condemning vile and unwholesome motion pic Signers of the pledge protures." mise to arouse public opinion, to stay away from offensive pictures, and to c ondemn suggestive advertisements of movies.

"I have reason to know," he said, "their insidious effect on children and their baneful effects on family life. I think that now you are gathered in conference vou should try to think of ways and means by which the. Catholic women of Australia may combine to do something to banish the rotten films from our country. What is being done in the Unitedi States and in England should be done by the Catholic woman. The mother in the home, the girl in the office, the woman in society—they can all fight these agents of hell. • I hope that you will give this matter deep cinsideration " Prior Clery also pleaded for action. 'It is a suitable time," he said, "to do what is in your pouer in coopera tion with others to prevent this e .1 w hich is creating so much havoc among children and others.'
That these remarks should excite the opposition of certain people is not s trange. Father 13.

The first authoritative estimate of the number of Jews to have left Ger many since the advent of the National Socialist Government is given in a report of the Central Welfare Office for German Jews in Berlin. This states that 70,000 Jews have so far left Germany. The movement, efficiently controlled - by the various Jewish organisations in Germany and abroad, is apparently continuing unabated. The total Jewish population, at the 1925 count, was about 564,000

Father Lopes is aged thirty-six ,and has been in China for two years working as a missioner in the Apostolic Vicariate of Anking, where many missionary priests have been captured by the brigands. It is in this vicariate that Father Avito was taken prisoner in 1930. The latest news about the latter is that he is alive, and is made serve as infirmarian by the Communists. A ni :onogras ph on Collectivis * *t Agri: vulture in the Soviet Union, recently issued by the School of Slavonic and East European Studies in London University, sums up the state of affairs in the following conclusions: "That the legal status of the members of eollective farms is for all practical pugeo,:es equivalent to bondage. That the taxation and other imposts levied on the collective farms and their members. are so heavy as to depress the standard of living to the lowest conceivable level. That social and labour conditions in both State and collective farms are extremely bad." Leaving Dun Leoghaire on the first stage of his journey to Melbourne, Ilk Eminence Cardinal MacRory, Primate of All Ireland, gave a farewell message to the crowd assembled at the pier, who came to say good' bye. The Cardinal. referring to his 13,000 miles journey, said, "Ireland-grant Rome—.Australia—may God that my journey and my stay in Melbourne and other parts of that Con' tinent will cement the friendship be' t ween Australia and Ireland, and that it link both of them more closely to eternal Rome.
