Saturday, December

THE SACRIFICE In the den of the king of Connaught it was yet dark, and Leary the fierce slept sound by his dark queen in the midst of the piulars of the house. Out of the deep have I cried to thee, said Aillil, the son of Leary, as he rose from his bed in the silence of early morning, under ,the quiet stars. He put his cloak Upon him, and went forth unto the path between the pines to journey to the secret places of the forest. There the shaven priest lived, and that place none but the Christians knew. Aillil's heart leapt within him as he set forth to the holy mysteries. As the morning star was fainting in hea• yen, so his heart failed within at the beauty which Angus Og showed him as he went by the way. For 'surely the young god journeyed before spreading light in his path. The path ,was of little pebbles, pale green, and over the dark rich boughs was the pale morning—truly it was the saffron skirts of Cleena of the sea. Dana the great mother was near, her presence swept softly by him as she went among the t rees. And then Aillil touched his beads, that swung about his neck, and knew that it was not Angus that was before him, but the lord Christus and the lady Matirya, his mother, whose mantle was over the tree tops. Before long the son of Leary came to a place where two ways met. The trees thinned and another little road ran across the path. There were two stiles, and t he very wood of them rejoiced as he climbed over them and went again into the forest beyond. Now the sun was throwing long cool shades n t`se damps earth as the fair beams slanted he ween the leaves. Or it oaks is-ors here among the pines and firs, and here Aillil broke off throinsh the gold bracken lw his right hand. He made a noise at first, and then his feet made no sound as he walked on the pine needles and oak leaves, and he walked for a long time quickly. By the pool of' the Hands of Colum he passed, and leapt over three broad ditches: and all the while the sun shone more clearly. "Early in the morning will T seek Thee," said Aillil. The shaven man gave him his beads when he christened him: if the king should hear of it, he would surely kill him. So he said the prayer that tells of the strong man Lawrence in the flames And he thought of the blessed Felicity and Perpetua. the weak ones. and rejoicing in their strength went on

through the trees until he came into a clearing with a stone altar standing in the midst. Ailli went through the open space and to the right hand between the trees: for there stood the hermit's hut. A fter some minutes he came forth again carrying a fair linen cloth on rus arm, and tall tapers in his hands. The cloth he spread, and brought forth an earthern chafing dish to light the tapthe ers. on By the chafing dish ground he set a little ship full of inAll cense and splendidly patterned. this he did with the utmost care: for he knew that he was compassed about with a great cloud of witnesses: in the trees about the Altar stood all the priests of the ages, watching with jealous and approving eyes to se?. the sacrifice well clone. He almost saw their bright forms about him, .Melchizidech was there, type of them all, he the king of the city of peace. The mitre of Aaron flashed faintly between thc leaves, and Sixtus was there, the high priest of God, he whom they slew with the blessed Lawrence. So Aillil left these things and went for a great book, which he set on the altar and opened. It was bound in linen and splashed with colour from t he needles of nuns and queens. Within gold letters gleamed slowly in the srsons as he turned the pages and smoothed their pearly greyness flat at All this time the proper of the day. lie was wrapt in a curious joy: This is the day which the Lord hath made. we will rejoice and be glad in it, said he, and all things said it was with him: bushes of thorn nearby were breaking into white blossom, and the birds in them filled the clearing with a wild song that wove itself into a pattern with the burning tapers on the altar and the sweet smoke from the chafing dish. Then came forth the priest out of the dark trees, and flamed between the tall trunks in a vestment of gold; Aillil carried a bell and the priest car ried vessels covered in a silken veil. So as they were come to the altar in the midst, the priest read in the book in a loud voice. and Aillil cast his eyes on the ground and prayed in a little voice, and the merry birds sang sweet songs round about the two of them. And the king's son set frankincense in a vessel and the priest incensed the altar and the tapers and the offerings: and as he raised his arm tc swing the chains, the stiffness of his vestments l;r01:e into blazing light. liks the faces

The Late Mrs. Bridget

, f a flashing stone, and the forest about made joy and all things swam in long level mists of frankincense. All this knew Aillil, although he did not raise his eyes. Then there fell a silence while the shaven man bent over at his mysteries. And Aillil bent lower in the quietness and rang his bell when the priest spread out his hands and bade all c reated things lift up their hearts. And though his look was on the ground, vet he became aware of a circle of men standing in the shadow of the trees about, and thought of Abraham and Melchizedech and Sixtus standing there to watch the sacrifice. Then when the bell had clone ringing there came a rabbit and sat down beside the a:tar at an arms length, so still were the priest and the son of Leary.

When the mystery was accomplish ed and the priest raised the holy thing above his head. Aillil pressed his glow ing face in his hands and bent lower, and bowed his heart and spirit in worship: and then looked up through the haze of incense—lo, the white thorn stretched forth its boughs and burst into blossom more abundantly, and the rabbit bowed his head in little furry paws before the awful sacrifice. So it was done, and there was nothing left but to give thanks, and rejoice in the finishing of the work. So they stood up, Aillil and the priest, and gave thanks, and then Mid saw that it was not Aaron and Sixttis and Lawrence and Melchizedech and Stephen the Deacon who stood between the trees, hut the warriors of Leary, King of Connaught, with every man his shining spear beside him, and their war helmets on their heads flashing OUR ACTIONS. in the blazing sun as they came to take him.

THE RECORD.

Which is the Kea! Christmas?

if not impossible, for It is difficult, the people of this generation to comprehend with any degree of exactitude the distance which the natural consequences• of the Reformation have taken us from the ,true spirit of the Faith people of this Catholic C That is, the generation, for the non-Catholic element cannot often grasp the idea of religion in itself without at all attempting to appraise the beauty of the things which spring from it. But born and reared in Catholic people,the great truths which of the shadow have handed down to us, our fathers and immersed in the spirit of religion, are more often led away from religion th their daily lives than they readily For religion enters not appreciate. only into our private lives, but into our public appreciation of it; we not only watch it. in the inner man, but in the fulness of the Faith we display it in the outer man. consciously and unconsciously-. To realise in part what we miss because of the very negation of religion which moves about us, we can think of Christmas as it was in the days when Catholicity was the accepted faith of all Christian people. Usually we imagine that our great Christian feasts are the Fame to us Catholics as they were to our forefathers; that having kept the faith, we also keep it fully in its ordinances. But if we consider Christmas in Coe present century and Christmas as it was for centuries before the Reformation, we shall be undoubtedly startled by the results which the extravagances of modernism have produced in our own Catholic lives, and the disproportionate treatment of the religious Christmas (which is the real Catholics. Christmas) even amongst Each of us has but to ask one question to shake the foundations of our for complacency--do we prepare Christmas as for the coining of the Christ -child, or do we prepare for it There may be some as a holiday? few Catholics who really do prepare for Christmas as it was looked to in the ages of faith, but it is no travesty of the trua to say that most of us think more it as a holiday period than as a profound religious festival. \Ve can find every variety of excuses, many of them valid and apparently satisfying, but the tragic truth of it ctands out above them all—we do not look on Christmas nowadays as our f orefathers did in the cent•tries before the Reformation. Ask an- Catholic child what he remembers about Christmas: ask any grown-up Catholic what he remembers of the earliest Christmas festivals he knew, and the answers will undoubtedly be that Christmas was best remembered by Santa Claus. the presents, and perhaps the plum pudding. These things have undoubtedly a legitimate part in the Christmas festivities, but they have not the chief claim on our attention: they do not constitute the real Christmas. Christmas is first and foremost the Festival of Christ—the Mass of Christ. There is no Christmas without Christ; nothing more than a Roman satur nalia. If Christmas is not to each and every one of us a period of rejoiclog because of the birth of God made Man. and the promise of our future happiness, then it is not Christmas to us—no More than the August Bank Holiday. If we do not look to Plristrnas because it brings us the joyful Masses of Christmas morning— the Gloria, the Adeste, the simple but Profoundly moving spectacle of the Crib, the lighting of the Christmas can-

ber of non-Catholics; it is now for them a holiday period, joyous, no doubt, but not a festival of Christ. We ourselves can help them but little now —but we, how do we look on Christ mas? That is the all-important question. Christmas is paganised for Catholics as well as non-Catholics if we do not, first and foremost, see in it the Mass of Christ and all things coming from it. If we do not realise that Christmas Mass is the greatest part of Christmas; that the joy of the season centres round the Church alleluia; that the "Christmas spirit of peace" is the "Christian spirit of peace," and that gift-loving is in memory, then we have lost Christmas, and with it all that this great festival signifies or can ever signify. That would be almost too tragic to contemplate, for the sake of all humanity, because Christmas has humanised humanity when humanity itself had done its worst on its own members. The Christmas that affects the world is not the Christmas festival of the appreciative Catholic. Christmas is bound to the Church and the Faith by its intrinsic character; if we lose the spirit of it, we lose the festival itself, and in order to retain the festival we must retain its spirit. That, only Catholics can do.

It is difficult to think of these things nowadays—and that answer tells us how far the Reformation has brought up Catholics from the spirit of the faith .in ages past. Our treatment of Christmas and our attitude towards it can be the touchstone of the reality of our Faith to-day—of its continuity in spirit. We are living in a pagan world and its influence seriously affects our own Chrstian festivals—paganism not only lives about us, but it dims the beauty of our faith by deadening our consciousness of its most precious festivals. It is hardly necessary to emphasis* for thinking Catholics that Christmas nowadays has grown into a commercial festival, a laetere of big business, which engulfs the period in a whirl of purchasing. It is the season of gifts; why?

(By Archbishop Carlo Salotti.) rite of pardon, the sublime event of the ransom of mankind. nineteen centuries have elapsed during which, in the midst of many and stormy vicissitudes, the work of Redemption has never ceased and all human generations have been continually renewed in the light of truth and in the riches of grace. How many souls have been saved in this long unfolding of centuries! How many nations have been estah-, lished in the shadow of the Cross, living and maturing upon the vital sap which flows from that wonderful tree! How many civilisations, born in the name of our Blessed Redeemer, have blossomed upon this earth, enriching mankind with inestimable benefits! The history of the Christian Era is the history of continual ascensions by means of which men who had repudiated barbarity, substituted right for force, and transformed their customs, were able to taste the purest joys of life and to write in the golden pages of culture, art, science and progress the poem of their own greatness.

succeeded in arresting the triumphant course of her victories. Catholicism is advancing undismayed over the vast continents of Africa, Asia and the grouped islands of Oceania, announc ing the good tidings of Redemption and gathering abundant sheaves among those peoples who, until yesterday, ignored or despised the holy laws of the Gospel. It is the dawn of a new day which, breaking over those far lands, brings the promise of a luminous midday of Christian and civil life, of a life made fruitful by the sweat and the blood of our heroic missionaries. Unfortunately. the radiant vision or the conquests which are being made and of the hopes born of them, is somewhat dimmed by the sorrowful reality that innumerable multitudes are still beyond and outside the reach of missionary influence. There are immense masses which have not yet heard e ven the echo of the Good Tiding.4. There are entire peoples still wrapped in the shadows of paganism from which they have not been able to free themselves. There are boundless regions over which Mohammedanism rules with its inexorable laws of iron. There are tribes buried in the errors and superstitions of fatalism, which do not per mit them to perceive the horizons of a new spiritual world.

The Catholic Church in Victoria SOME OF ITS VICISSITUDES

Father O'Neill is at present in hospital, but is making good progress. He was visited by the Papal Legate. "It would be easy and not unreasonable to wax eloquent and even lyrical over this story that is not even a Centenary record," Father O'Neill wrote. "for the Church has existed here only for 95 years.

New Attack on Individual Liberty Parliament Being Ousted by Whitehall Officials Addressing 2,000 men in the Birmingham Town Hall recently, Archbishop Williams uttered an urgent warning against the danger to individual liberty arising from the growing practice of government by permanent officials instead of by Parliament.

-Liberty always needs watchfulness. We have had freedom. We have to be on the watch all the time to preserve our liberties. If we cease to feel responsibility as individuals, we leave the way open to tyranny of one sort or another; it may call itself Communism or it may call itself Fascism, but some form of repression and tyranAnd if it ny will certainly come. does come- the day of individual free And dom and liberty will be gone. we shall only receive what we deserve. . . .

St. Joseph's Convent School, Beaconsfield ANNUAL CONCERT The Beaconsfield Convent School Hall was packed to the doors on Wednesday, November 26, on the occasion of the annual concert given by the school children. A very lengthy programme of excellent items was carried out without a hitch, and reflected very great credit on the Sisters, whose careful training was responsible for the success of the concert. Promptly at 8 p.m. an overture of classical music was played by the St. Joseph's Orchestra, which, under the tuition of the Sisters, and guided by the baton of perhaps the most diminutive conductor in Australia, gave a performance that would have done credit to adult musicians. The curtain rose upon a group of smiling bright-eyed girls, whose song of "Welcome" at once made the large audience feel quite at home. The boys, with their tin- whistle band, provoked shouts of laughter and applause, even the "littlest one" entering into the carnival spirit. Miss Erla Toop showed considerable elocutionary talent in a musical monologue, and later, when, in company with three other senior girls, she recited "The Little Irish Mother." National and step dancing was a feature of the programme, and for this, the dancing mistress, Miss Vera Stewart, is to be congratulated. An Irish jig, by the Misses Malloy and Sykes; an Irish reel by Miss L. Raf-

faele; a Sailor's hornpipe, by Miss Helen Daly, and a Highland Fling by Miss J. Ottey. The evergreen Polka, by Misses Travia and Hawkins, and finally a clog dance by the senior girls, bore witness to the good work of Miss Stewart, who had but a short period in 'which to train the children. Several action songs, in which pictures: que settings were a feature, were con' tributed by both seniors and juniors. "The Photograph' • was particularly pleasing in this regard, while "Chrysanthemum Land" was the more realistic because of the gay kimonas, fans, sunshades, and chrysanthemums which combined to make a blaze of colour. Perhaps the gem of the evening, as far as group work went. was the No dainty "Three Green Bonnets.' effort had been spared to make this delightfully old fashioned song scena yeally appeal. Dorothy May, little Angela Travia, was particularly, while the Angels, in the persons of infant girls, seemed to be little messengers from heaven. In this item colour contrasts were again in evidence and to good effect. "The Fairies' Ball' and the "Harp Song," presented by the juniors. and "Tulip Time in Holland," by the seniors, were all well done and well received. The boys as "Chinamen" did their very best, and though the tune may have varied a tittle, enthusiasm was spontaneous.

Stott's Business Colleges

Saturday, December

Two sets ui drill and club drill, by the elder girls, and the other floral dumb bells by the junior girls showed grace, rhythm, and precision of movement. Piano duets, by Misses Cornwell and Maclean; Parton, Eagan and part songs by the choir, "Tell Me Little Breeze" and "Good-bye," and a Can tata, "The Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe,' completed a highly diversified programme by the scholars. In the cantata every child acted well, Boy Blue, Dade Durden, the King and Queen of Hearts, Tom, Tom the Pip er's Son, and Little Jack Horner and Miss Muffet, and all the other nursery characters who brought back memories of school days when laughter was care- free and such little folk were our real friends. Rev. Father Purcell contributed two songs, 'My Task" and "Roadways," which were very popular with the large crowd. Mr. Jack Waldeck was loudly encored for his violin solo, and had to respond to an encore. A t the conclusion of the concert, Father Purcell, parish priest of Bea consfield, congratulated the Sisters and their pupils for the excellence of the entertainment, and then, on behalf of the Sisters_of St. Joseph, thanked all those who had assisted in any way towards the success of the concert, particularly Miss Amy Brown and Mr. Diedrich, who acted as ac companists, and to Misses Sullivan and Stewart, for their assistance with the elocutionary and dancing items. He also thanked the parents for their co-operation. With the singing of the National Anthem, a very happy evening was concluded.

Toodyay Convent School Concert

On Saturday, December 8, before a large and appreciative audience, the annual concert was held in the Town Hall. The rendering of selections by the school orchestra opened the entertainment. A recitation by Miss Joan Rodoreda, and a song by Master Brian Lawrence, won unstinted applause, while the junior children covered themselves with glory by their seasonable action song, "Making the Christmas Pudding." The children, dressed as cooks, in spotless white, with bowl and spoon in hand, made a very attractive picture. The rendering of selections by their percussion band evoked further marks of appreciation from the audience. The boys' dialogue, "The Wonderful Invention," and their song, "The End of the Road,- were much appreciated. Miss Dulcie Clarke's first appearance on the concert stage was the occasion for a hearty round of applause, while the audience showed their appreciation of her splendid rendering of "Love's Sorrow," by presenting her with a beautiful bouquet, and by demanding an encore. Here is a young lady of exceptional promise as a singer. As usual, Miss Beatrice Somers' performances on the piano wen characterised by brilliancy and finish. The boys of the intermediate and senior classes gave their audience many a laugh by their dialogues. "The Wonderful Invention" and "Laying a Ghost.' Master Paul Morris was the very embodiment of the modern professor—studious, yet dapper in appearance. Master Keith Donegan acted the part of policeman as one to the manner born. Master Kenneth Proud, as a young scapegrace and Master Pat Buggy, as the professor's servant, terrified of ghosts, held the undivided attention of the house. Master Keith Lawrence, in the orthodox white apron and cap. made a very bonny housekeeper. Miss Pat Thompson. whose wonderful voice is enhanced by very pronounced dramatic talent, gave a fine rendering of a humorous song. "Publicity," while in one of the dialogues she acted to perfection the part of a Dutchwoman. The dialogue, "Wanted a Maid," by the senior girls, gave the audience a most amusing three-quarters of an hour Miss Gertrude Wood sustained with becoming dignity the ,:ole of harrassed mistress. While it would be invidious to make distinctons where all the acting was excellent. Yet one could not help noticing that Miss Peggy Fletcher's unrehearsed improvisations. whiles adding to the discomfiture of the poor mistress, kept the audience in roars of laughter. In the unavoidable absence of Rev. Dr. Collins, Mr. G. Taylor thanked the audience for their presence and appreciative reception of the children's splendid work.

"We can sympathise with our Holy Father in his appeal for united Catholic action." said Bishop Farrelly. "and it behoves us to do our part to return to godly living."

" Humanity has usurped the place of Ged.- said Dr. Farrelly. "L ['der the influence of the new ideas men to-day assume that there is no God, no reli eion, no soul, no future life, and that man is master of the uniyerse.

When the Host was given into the hands of Cardinal MacRory for the Exposition, four trumpeters from the Westmead Boys' Home, Sydney, sounded the Amen. C ardinal MacRory's voice, es he intoned the Divine Praises, was carried far and wide over the roof tops, and back rolled the, answering responses. Cardinal MacRory then delivered an address, which aroused great enthusiasm and was interrupted frequently by applause. He said: "This immense soul-stirring procession, ending with the Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. is a glorious and fitting conclusion to a magnificent Eucharistic Congress. No one who has witnessed this triumph can ever forget it. It is no exaggeration to say that You have, this day, written a new and brilliant page in the history of; the Catholic Church' in Melbourne." • Cardinal MacRory congratulated Archbishop Mannix for his vision and c ourage in plannin4and bringing the C ongress to a successful conclusion.

Mr. Richard O'Sullivan, K.C.. fol lowing Archbishop Williams' address on "The Challenge to Faith," called at tentien to the gradual paganisetien Englend and to the fact that civil and non- Catholic religious authorities are advocating immoral practices as solutions to economic difficulties.

The conflict to -day, said Mr. O'Sul livan, is the conflict of materialism and paganism with Christianity. It is an attack net enla- on the sanctities of supernatural life but also on the natural life: on the physical integrity of men and women: on the institution of marriage: on the . right of parents to control the education and the 'mu bringing of their children: on the liberty of the Church to fulfil her soiritual office within the State.

The Coming of the King

W ith this issue of our Christma our readers, well-wishers and supp s Number, we extend to all orters the Season's heartiest greetings. It is a Season of good will and cheer, and we hope that all will enjoy the blessings of a truly happy Christmas when the Christian Church will celebrate that most historic of all events, the Birth of Christ the King, whose Nativity brought "Peace on earth to men of good will." The lies in the possession of that Peac world's real joy and happiness e which the world cannot give. The true foundation of such a peace is good vill, the spirit of which should animate all true Christians during the Feast of the Nativity. Long while ago. on a winter's nigh t, across the hills of Bethlehem. an angel choir brought to a strange old world, "Tidings of great joy," which opened the gate s of Heaven to mankind and announced the Birth of the Son of God, who came to redeem the world. In the Catho;ic Church that anthem of the angels will be broadcast on Christmas Day from every place of worship, wherever an altar has been raised to the Prin is celebrated. Not only in great ce of Peace and the Holy Mass cities will the story of the fi rst Christmas night be told, but it will be heard in the little humble church in lonely outback place s, and the forlorn missions in paga n lands, where the Apostles of the King are striving to redeem the heathen souls and to establish tile reign of Christ on earth. • * The infinite humility of Christ teach us the ktsson of our kinship in being born so lowly should with all .mankind. It should drive all hardness, selfishness, vindictiveness, hate and bitterness out of our hearts. and inflame us with love for klim. Poverty is around us everywhere. In the midst of plenty many poor crea tures are weary and heavily lade n If the sweetness of that charity andwith the struggle for existence. ed the whole life of Jesus of Sata human pity which characterisreth on earth- were in our hearts, we would not be forgetful of the sufferings of the poor and the distressed. How very different would be the tragic story of human progress—there would be no room for those false leaders with their nostrums which are sowing the seed s of dissension and strife in the community, engendering class hatre ds, and destroying the structures of religion and charity. The trouble with this drifting worl d. says a well-known Catholic writer, is that there are too man v leaders who do not lead, or who lead into wrong places; wrong things: insufficient apprecia too much striving after the tion of real values. That is why there is so much pleasure seek ing and so little happiness. so much wealth side by side with so muc h poverty. In all the feverish rush to get things done, there is •so little purpose: in all the efforts to put wrong things right there world's compass is out of action. It is so much conflict. The is not pointing to the Star, because the greater part of the world has not seen the Star which the Wise Men saw, and following whic h thy found Christ. * Peace was the burden of the Angel's broa dcast on that Holy First Christmas morning, when the Divi ne Babe of Bethlehem was born in a stable and laid in a manger beca for him in the hostels of that town, then use there was no room crow .The peoples of the earth will hear that anthem ded with revellers. ., 0ay. but how many will understand its mea again on Christmas ning.

DUTIES OF THE STATE _

Father Martindale Pleads for the Family

REV.

MARTINDALE, S.J.

In an address to men at the Show ground last week, Father Martindale, the noted English writer and lecturer. extolled the virtues of poverty, honesty, morality, and self -discipline. He expreSsed strong views on the duty of persons and governments toward the practice of windy limitation and held up tor the approval the idea that the State should exist for the protection of the family rather than that the family should exist for the aggrandisement of the State. "The last time I was in Australia,'' said Father Martindale, "I was rebuked for using the word 'graft' in connection with anything Australian. But there is graft everywhere in the world, and since then hideous examples of it have revealed themselves in quarters that one thought were fairly safe. You may feel that I am asking you to be a lot poorer than You might be, and per Yet, anyhow, a dislocahaps I am. tion of the bones is painful, and there is a spiritual dislocation if, in the one half of your life, you are making money by shady methods and in the other half are behaving like a Catholic and even giving large sums to charity—conscience money, maybe, but not acceptable to God, nor by -Him accepted. Frankly, I have yet to meet an enormously rich man who is happy, and I know any number of poor men who are very happy indeed. It is an immense liberation to have few needs. Emancipate yourselves and do not have always to rely on purchaseable pleasure Rich men find most things insipid -imply because they can buy anything at a moment's notice. Christ came to the world in poverty. He could choose His standard of life, and He chose not the palace and the long holdiys, hut the little town. the carpenter's work. the smith's work. There is nothing grand, believe me. in a Christian man or girl living in idle elegance, nor appropriate in their wishing to do so. Produce Healthy Australians. The family is the first complete human unit. Out of families the State is built, like a living organism that is a tissue of innumerable living cells. See, then the enormous advantage for a State if young men and women come to marry, able to build good homes.

Do you care about a White Australia Do you preach Australia for Australians? Very well, produce Australians for Australia, and healthy ones." "Tht. State,' added Father Martindale, "ought in its own interests to take every step that might prevent the corruption of the morals of the young. It ought, for example, to be at least as anxious as Peru, where the chief educational authorities recently demanded, not on religious grounds, hut on behalf of the whole destiny ot that republic, that every legal method be used to suppress the sale of pornography. The League of Nations has asked for that again and again, but the vested interests are too great. The thing is too colossally remunerative. Any State concerned for its survival ought to be grateful to men like you who, as Catholics, are committed to stand firm, within marriage, against the contraception racket, for it is Three results of imnothing else. The first is portance are due to it. the filling of the pockets of those responsible for the contraception propa• ganda and manufacture, so enormous are the profits made from them. The second is the teaching of an overwhelming majority of the unmarried to get their pleasure without responsibility. The third result is the making of any future peace impossible. France, for example, is in its condition of perpetual panic and desperate desire to be able at least to defend itself, and of frantic suspicion of others, because it has emptied itself of its proper number of men. "A Pestilent Notion." "Observe," continued Father Martindale, "how Catholic principles in this matter are all on the side of life, and how modern alleged remedies are beasts. But it is you, my dear men, who have the principles and the motives, the ancient experience and the contemporary vision, to prevent all that, to carry a most peaceful revolution through. and establish first in your own hearts and minds. and then in all society, that reign of Christ, who bids you pray that God's kingdom may be e stablished, as in heaven, so on earth." all on the side of killing. It is increasingly recommended that the deformed, the incurably diseased, and the inconvenient, cumbrous aged should be allowed to sue for a painless death or even should have it imposed on them. All this shows that the modern State is apt to regard the citizen as existing for it—a pestilent notion, the exact opposite of the truth, which is that the State exists for the better being of the citizen. When all is said and done it remains that Governments consist of e xactly the same sort of ingredients as the world at large does—human men. They have then no right to impose themselves on others, let alone to fill their pockets out of other people's purses. "It would be easy to show that too many Governments consider that they are the absolute authority. Such a

Government will want to monopolise education, to exclude from a child s mind any idea that does not suit the party in power. But the State has no such right, let alone duty. It should step in only to help the family to do what it cannot do for itself. Hence the family has the right to have its children educated according to its conscience, save only when its ideas necessarily tend to destroy the State and civilisation, which is exactly what Catholic ideas never tend to do. You dear Catholic Australians not only have the right to have your children educated as Catholics, but you possess the right, in justice, to be helped so to educate them. A `neutral' education is about as valuable as a filleted flatfish, as England ought by now to have learnt.

not have money to rule over him, big money, secret money, money who knows how obtained or how spent. He is sick at heart, when he knows that it is money which alone keeps wars going, like the one between Paraguay and Bolivia. God grant that this public opinion be not so suppressed. nor those hopes so cheated that an explosion break forth worse than any we have seen. So long as wretched men and women even suspect that they are being played with by the moneymakers, there is no prospect of peace, no stability of progress, no chance, no possibility of free united action anyEurope, Australasia, where.

NICCES and A CAROL FOR BABY JESUS. is a carol for Baby Jesus, his T Who sleeps on the breast of a Lily tonight; The stars of midnight are silver and s tarry, The snows have mantled the hills in white. Out in the distance I hear the angels Telling some shepherd the tidings of mirth. Heaven has emptied itself of music, There's a wonderful song of Peace on e arth. This is a carol for Baby Jesus! Eager I follow the shepherds of old: I am poor and my hands are empty, So Mary will give me Her Babe to hold. No longer He sleeps on the breast of the Lily, St. Joseph is kissing His hair and feet, And the sanctuary lamp is a flickering lantern Lighting a stable off Bethlehem's street. This is a carol for Baby Jesus! Whom wicked Herod will seek to destroy: see a Star in the East soft shining. And Wise Men ride to their tryst with joy. They seek a King who has long been promised. The Beauty ancient and ever new, The Might One who has come from Heaven, And all for the winning of me and you. This is a carol for Baby Jesus! Ye bells ring skyward; ye bells ring low; The Light of the World on the straw is lying, It beckons to us with a radiant glow. Shepherds and kings and young and olden. Tip-toeing come to the Crib to pray To the Babe who is horn for their souls' redeeming, And who gave to this earth its Christmas Day. —AUNT BESSY. THE 8th. DECEMBER RALLY. Menzies.

You will see we have left our last address since you heard from her. Pamela has been busy since at her new school; she was in Sub Junior and has just finished a test which I believe was successful. Patricia .is growing and is anxious to write to You, but she won't be :61,e until March 3. We have a new baby in our home now; she is six months' old, being born on June 2nd. We called her Veronica Kathleen Mary, and she is a great pet in the home. I am enclosing a book of s tamps for the L.B. in honour of Our Blessed Lady for intentions asked for, and I wish You and all the nieces and nephews in the Corner a Happy New Year and a Holy and Happy Christmas on behalf Of Pamela, Patty and Veronica, and yours sincerely, (Mrs.) G.

Note:—The answer is contained in three figures only: the prize worth trying for, and as it may not be possible for any niece or nephew to guess the correct answer, the prize will go to the one who gets nearest to it. All guesses must be entered on separate pieces of paper and accompanied with full name and address. Entries to be received at the office not later than January 5th. The nieces and nephews have been so generous and self - sacrificing to the Cause this year, that Aunt Bessy wishes the could give a prize to each of them, but as she has not yet met a millionaire, this is impossible. Tiddles is three years old, but if we published Wet BlanLA's age, she might have us up for damages, so you will just have to imagine it. YET ANOTHER MESSAGE TO THE YOUNGERS. Children. don't forget the Cathedral Fete, which is going to be cp2ned on the 19th inst., by His Grace the Archbishop. Someone who does not tell any -white ones" told me there are going to be all kinds of attractions, so do your best to get to the Fete and bring your Daddies with you, for, of course, it it, no use going to any Fete unless you- can have someone from whom to coax pennies for the good things you find there. BUT, don't sl end ALL your money there all the same, as the old L.B. is still rather shaky. !"

Dear Patsy and Pauline,—You are the best and most energetic soldiers think er joined up for the Bushies—even the Cardinal Protector reckons you both should be decorated f or the constant service you have rendered this year, but 1 don't believs too much in decorations, so I will have to wait and see what my good angel says about it.

I'm glad Dr. Sullivan liked his picture--he won't be able to say he didn't get anything for Xmas now. AUNT BESSY. Mary's Mount, Gooseberry Hill. Dear Aunt Bessy,—This will be my last letter from the Mount. I am writing on behalf of the boys to wish you a Happy Christmas and the best of luck for the New Year. We are sending the last of our offerings to you for this year, but I hope you will get a lot more next year even though some of your nephews are leaving for good. Thank you for all past favours. Good-bye and God bless you, Aunt Bessy.—Your faithful nephew, PETER ALDRED. Dear Peter,—You have indeed been a faithful nephew, and I hope you will not desert the Corner altogether during the coming year. Many thanks for your last 2/6. I was very disappointed not to have got to Your concert. I had my speech prepared and everything, but Mt. Kostera forgot to slow down and pick me up. I was very upset. The Wet Blanket said I talked in my sleep about it the whole night, so that shows how I felt it. AUNT BESSY.

TWENTY-FIVE Connie and Mary, you are together on the 22nd., and the pair of you don't write to the Corner very often, so I hope there will be a couple of good resolutions made in honour of the day and in honour of the Bushies, too, for what will they do if their soldiers begin, to neglect their Stronghold? I am wondering if any of you lis tened in to the Children's Mass in Melbourne last Friday morning? I was privileged to do so, and it was all very beautiful. The singing of the children was as sweet and true as I am sure their souls were, and when the Papal Legate spoke to them afterwards, he said sweet and true things too. He told them all to be good boys and good girls, and he said three things would help them to be that The three things were to go to Mass as often as they could; to receive Our Blessed Lord in Holy Communion frequently, and to often make a visit to Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament Each of those three things can easily be clone by the children in the city; it is not possible for them to be done by the children in the country, bto if the latter say the Rosary every day then Our Blessed Lady will make them good through that holy prayer and their fidelity to .it. I did not mean to give you a ser monette, and Tiddles says "time's up," so I will stop right here and wish you again very many Happy Returns. AUNT BESSY.

The Home of Nazareth

The ideal of the Catholic home is the little home of Nazareth. The ideal of the Catholic family is that union of father, mother, and child, which we call "The Holy Family." AU that a family should be to be beloved of God and blessed by Him, shines forth in that little home. Joseph is the head of that holy family, the "one chosen shadow of God upon earth," as we sing in his hymn. He represents authority, the author ity of the Eternal Father Himself. Mary loves and reverences Joseph; she serves and consoles him: she lightens, insofar as she can, his weary toil. Above all she gives him Jesus. her Child, to be the light of his eyes and the joy of his life. Mary's life is lived in God—she is filled to overflowing with the grace of the Holy Spirit. Mary's life is Ey-

ed, too, in Christ Son, her care, and—He is at once union with the her God.

THE RECORD.

THE BLACK Long time ago, in the illustrious city of Florence, there lived a wealthy banker, Lap() de Lapi. He was what men now call a man of influence in the city. His one great object in life was money —it was his first thought in the morning and the last thought that finished off the concerns of his day's work. Amongst the big business men of his day—and there were many in Florence who envied his success—he was,accounted'a very,shrewd and astute financier. He was an early riser, and commenced his work of the day with the regularity of clock work. When the bells rang "terza,' he was sittirvg at his desk, and when the bells rang "nona" he was still there juggling with figures which he was writing on s-nail sheets of paper. He lent money to the Emperor, and he lent money to the Pope, and if he didn't lend money to the devil, it was because he feared he would be out witted and cheated by that wily per son who is called "the malicious (ne," and who is commonly believed to bs extremely cunning. Lapo de Lapi was bold and suspicious. He had amassed great wealth and in doing so had spoiled the lives of many people. Notwithstanding. he was honoured in the gTelt city of 'Florence. city of art -Ind culture. He lived in a palace, 1,yh.!re the light cf day, which the good God created, was almost shut out, and which entered only through very narrow windows. That was prudence on the part of this rich man To guard Ms enormous treasure. he had made his dwelling place a fortress. Lap() de Lapi, and person.: like unto him are prone to protect their wealth by such methocis, knowing that they have accumulat their treasiire he questionable re hods.

of his usury, and golci pieces by the hundred, and other things very beautiful that he had secured by avarice and deceit, and he understood that the deeds of his life were about to be weighed in the Archangel's balance. Lapo de Lapi looked on trembling, attentive and very anxious. "Lord St. Michael." said the banker, "if you are putting on the one side all the profits I have made in my business as a banker, please put on the other side the generous foundations by which I have shown my godliness Do not forget, if you please, the dome of Santa Maria Novella, to which I contributed a good third, and my hospital which I built entirely at my expense" "Have no fear. Lapo," replied the Archangel, "I will forget nothieg," and with his shining hands he laid down on the other and lighter plate Santo Haria Novello's dome and the hospi-

The Archangel put in the plate the pulpit and the holy water basin, on top of the hospital, but still the plate remained immovable and would not weigh down at all. Lapo de Lapi felt a cold sweat on his forehead "Lord Archangel:' he asked trembling, "are you sure your scales are right?' Smiling. St. Michael answered that though his scales were not fashioned as were the scales of the Lombards of Paris or the money changers of Venice. they were not in the least wanting in exactitude. "What!" sighed Lapo de Lapi, his face very woin and sallow, "that dome, this pulpit. the basin and the hospital, with all its beds, will they be nothing more than a handful of str.ali.,vo?; see it is so.

Monsignor Angelo Perugini, Secretary of Latin Letters to His Holiness, Pope Pius XI., and Prcfessoe or Public Ecclesiastical Law in The Pontifical Institute Utriusque Juris in F.ome, has just published a volume edited by the Institute, in which are collected all the Concordats at present in force. The principal pact of ti e volume is f ormed by the Concordats concluded under the Pontificate of Pope Pius XI., which had been published in the Acta Apostolicae Sedis, but which had not been previously collected in a volume, although they form the principal body of the toncordatory jurisprudence to win force. In a short preface, the author of the compilation recalls how after the end of the Great War most of the heads of States wished to establish -tir%tioeis and conclude diplomatic Deets with the Holy See. This work, begun in the Pontificate of Pope Benedict XV., was for the most part executed and developed according to the exigencies of the political changes under the Pontificate of Pope Phis XI., during which eighteen diplomatic Conventions already have been concluded. The author has faithfully reproduced them in his book, preceding them with historical notes wliieh explain the origin and bearing of each. The documents published in this book are: The Cencordat with Latvia, concluded -.71 May 30, and ratified on November 3. 1922. . The Concordat with Bavaria. concluded en May 30, and ratified on January 24, 1925. 41.•411e•4110•11.•11W

The edition was prepared by the Prefect of the Vatican Archives, Monsigner Angelo Mercati, who, in the revision of the texts and in the compilation of the notes reconstructed the original do .uments and kept note of variations of some importance with exact historical and literary fidelity.
