August 14, 1908, Abbot Torres, accompanied 1:ev the Rev. Fathers Mamas and Alcalde. and the Rev.

The next day, the Feast of the Alsumption of Our Blessed Lady, ills Lordship offered there the first Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, and placed the Mission under the care and patronage e f the Mother of God. Isolation, dis comforts, and threatenings of the t reacherous aboriginal tribes were the only associates of the Missionaries in t his barren district. The Abbot had set sail in the lugger at the beginning of September to face again the hardships of the return journe-v dur icg which his life was in danger constantly until at the end of the month he landed in Broome. The Mission had been established. The Holy See. by a Decree of May 6. 1910. '1.efirtitely approved and assigned the boundaries of its spiritual jurisdict;on. It included the territory comprised within the degree of 128 longitude and 16 latitude South. that is. a region covering 37.125 square miles. The same Decree stated that in due time tl •

In.—Character

IV.—First Friendly Meeting. Before the end of the same month, the Rev. Brother Vincent met in the bush a group of fourteen men. and offered one of them a tomahawk, an instrument highly appreciated by the natives. He at the same time invited them all to come to the Mission. Quite unexpectedly, after half an hour, the fourteen athletic, vigorous men made their appearance before the Fathers, who warmly welcomed them. The Missioners till then, sadly unsuccessful in their effores to enter into friendly relations with the aborigines, could not believe what they saw. At last the aborigines. on their own accord, had come to the Mission. But was it not an ambuscade skilfully arranged better to catch the unsuspecting Missioners? Anyhow, the Fathers. satisfied by this fact, thought their most ardent desires were about to be realised. And after all it was so. The Missionaries regarded that band of wandering people as the first fruits of the abounding crop they

The first three years , o tne Mission oilioh anxiwere certainly a period ety. Natives were not visiting the Mission, and the Fat he o.. g ing as Good Shepherds into t11. - bush in search of them, were in danger of The at .rimes, not being speared. knowing the purpose ,a to, Mission, and some of them hat in .1,H sad and painful experiences of thc vIntes, took for granted that the ra w white settlers were also their enemies, and No na therefore ought to be kii . tive was seen around the Mission durThey were ing the first two years. the no doubt ifi the vicinity, and Fathers were convinced ot that by the fact that the clothes they used to hang from the trees in order to attract them, always disappeared. This was an unmistakable proof ot the natives' presence in the neighbourhood. It is most likely that they were watching at night to take advantage of the first har•-•"011ljr) opportunity to destroy the Mission, and perhaps even to consume the Missionaries. For, no matter what we sometimes hear to the contrary, when the Mission was founded, the aborigines were cannibals. They themselves, in their simplicity on many occasions have clearly made ' this known It seems they did not go as far as to kill a human being for the sake of gluttony, but when killed they did not entirely give the corpse up. Day by day the savages showed themselves more daring and more determined to destroy the Mission. Two years they had spent vainly watching from hidden places every movement of the Missionaries, but their wild plans were of no effect, for the Missioners were prudent enough to keep t'nemselves out of the reach of the well-aimed spears. At last the bushmen, getting tired of waiting so long, decided to c arry out their criminal and e xpected iii the near future. No ferocious intentions. words can duly convey tht joy of the In !September, 1910 a mob of thirty or more The long' occasion. men, with eyes sparkling, tall, robust Mission on this arms raised, desired day waf at hand and the banspears glinting, came wildly on, and quet ready for the prodigal children. u mttering war cries, approached the These having participated of the good ission, determined to take the lives things of the feast to their satisfacof the innocent Missioners and steal tion. were taken to the small church their stores.

Since then no day elapsed without having a numerous gathering at the Mission, and everything seemed to be progressing smoothly, until September 27, a day humanly speaking of the most unhappy memory for the Mission. V.—Satan's Last Strategem. Were the aborigines only pretending friendship without sincerity dur ing the previous months, just in order to suddenly take the Missionaries unprepared. It is hard to. say. But, on September 27, 1913, after three months of most cordial relations, a tragedy occurred which might have put an end to the Mission. Thanks to the protection of Almighty God, whose plans were otherwise, and who knows how to take good out of evil. One hundred and three natives haa just finished taking their morning rations, when suddenly, unexpected wild screaming astonished the Missionaries, who were soon to learn the sinister meaning of that savage outcry. It was the sign agreed upon to start t he massacre. Scores of spears at once flashed in the air. The imminent danger struck terror into the Fathers' hearts. The merciless leader of the assassins, with the evident purpose of killing the Missionaries, got nearer, fell upon the two defenceless Priests, and with a huge stick struck the Fathers down and brutally heat them! The martyrs of charity, bruised and profusely bleeding, lay on the ground stunned, hut still breathing. The Mission. though wounded, is not dead. Meanwhile the half-caste boys of Derby, crying with fright, ran to the Mission-house, and the eldest, only 12

y ears of age• conscious of the great peril and of the danger which would befall themselves if the savages succeeded in their barbarous attempt. instinctively took a gun and fired it in the air. The Mission was saved. The criminals, frightened by the explosion, left the victims and fled into the bush to conceal themselves and to escape, as perhaps they thought. a well deserved punishment. But nothing was farther from the hearts and minds of the victims who, serving in the same army as the glorious martyrs. St. Boniface of Germany and St. Thomas of Canterbury. were influenced by the spirit of Him who had commanded the return of good for evil, and to pray for those who calumniate and per!ke• cute us. If we were to investigate the real cause of this dreadful event. we would scarcely be able to find it. Were the white Missionaries still regarded by the aborigines as the enemies of their people. notwithstanding A Mission for the converting Aborigines of Kimberley was founded in 1S90. It is the now tinder care of the Pallotine Fathers. Since 1907 the Sisters of St. John of God conducted have for the schools natives at Beagl. Bay. Broome. and Lornhadina. The present Adminio trator Apostolic Monsitnor Rail& P.S.M.. and tb Catholics numlss about one thousand.

so many proofs to the contrary? . Did the natural gluttony of the aborigines spur them to take possession as early as possible of the Mission's stores? Were they enraged because a day previous to the sad happening. one ..of their pet dingoes, though •milty of killing domestic animals, had been destroyed against their will? Or might we not assert with perhaps more weight that Satan. anticipating his loss in that district by the Mission taking root there, availed himself of all his devices to instigate the poor, ignorant aborigines to such deplorable action? At any rate, despite the rage of hell, the Mission survived. Survived because God could not be deal to the prayers of the Hierarchy of Australia so particularly interested in that Mission; and God could not be indifferent to the fervent supplications of so many of the faithful deeply concerned in enlightening those souls i.v1-a had sat long years in darkness and in the shadow of death, and to direct their feet into the way of peace. It perished not because it had not yet accomplished the destiny Divine Providence had allot ted it in the co-operation of the Drysdale River inhabitants' salvation. Again, another danger threatened the very existence of the Mission. As a consequence of the above mentioned tragedy, the West Australian Government thought it was more prudent to suppress the Mission because of the risk of lives incurred. With this idea in view, the Department wrote to Bis hop Torres advising him to recall the Monks to New Norcia. and to close the Drysdale Mission, unless the staff could be increased. A few months ago, the then State Chief Secretary, but now the Minister for Education in Western Australia, Mr. Drew, in a public speech referred to the correspondence between Bishop Torres and the Government on that occasion, add said that His Lordship replied to the Government in a most touching and at the same time most determined way. While he lamented the sa,: happening, he believed the truth contain. ed in the well-known words of Ter-tut' lan• "The blood of martyrs is the seed of Christians,- and that therefore he was prepared to send new labourers to that field of the Divine Master. This he did at once, for a few weeks after. two Missionaries left New Norcia for the Drysdale River Mission. The good results that have followed proved how wiasely His Lordship acted in pushing ahead against all difficulties the noble enterprise. Unfortunately, he was not to live long enough to enjoy the spiritual fruit of his efforts and zeal. His prolonged, perilous and health-racking voyages, the strong antagonism of the wild aborigines towards the Mission in the beginning, the tragedy which had taken place there, and the unfavourable view of the Government with regard to the continuance of the Missionaries' Nvotk• all prematurally undermined his death, and though comparatively young. His Lordship. in October. 1914. passed peacefully away to his eternal rest. But the Mission was God's work, and therefore could not perish Naturally enough. the aborigines, after their ferocious attack. tholizht tb Fathers would nurture ill feelings against them, and this idea temporarily kept them-aloof. Now and then they of cautious instincts used to send emissaries to discover the feelings of the wounded Missioners towards the criminals. But when they became convinced that, not even the least revengeful sentiment was cherished by the Missionaries towards them, they resumed their frequent visits as previously. with much better intentions than he re.

Arbitration, he declared. had very little to commend itself to one who had experience of arbitrators. If the employers accepted the teachings of the Encyclicals of Leo XIII. in their relations with their workers, strikes, with all their evils, would happily be things of the past. Solemn ceremonies of thanksgiving for the Canonisation of St. Conrad, the Cupuchin lay-brother, began in the church of St. Mary of the Angels, Church Street, Dublin, recently, with Solemn High Mass. at which His Ex cellency the Most Rev. Dr. Paschal Robinson, 0.F.M., Nuncio Apostolic, presided, and the Most Rev. Dr. Me Neely, Bishop of Raphoe. preached. There was a crowded congregation. and all the houses in the vicinity of the church were decorated with national and Papal flags. The relics of the saint were exposed for veneration at one of the side altars, which became a place of pilgrimage for many thousands during the day.

Apostolic Delegate, until the latter was made Nuncio to Switzerland towards the close of 1926. Then for a period he was Charge d'Affaires, and in May, 1927, when the present Apos: tolic Delegate, Archbishop Cassulo, took office, he continued as Secretary, and was raised to the dignity of Domestic Prelate. Archbishop Cassulo was formerly Apostolic Delegate to Egypt. Six hundred Civic Guards made their annual Retreat at the Jesuit Church of St. Francis Xavier, Dublin, recently. They paraded to church for the closing ceremony, headed by the Dublin Metropolitan Garda Band. The Retreat was conducted by Father O'Donqghue, S.J. Preliminary arrangements for the annual congress of the Catholic Truth Society, which will be held on June 343 and July 1 and 2, this year, in Kilkenny, were made at a meeting in the Desart Hall, Kilkenny, at which the Bishop of Ossory, Most Rev. Dr. Collier, presided. His Lordship said that the standing committee were convinced that the conference would be an outstanding success. The theme would be the very living subject of the social question. The grounds of St. Kieran's College, and St. Mary's Cathedral, will be the centre of the celebrations. Much regret has been caused by the death of Rev. James Dowdall, P.P., Kilglass and Legan, County Longford Aged 93, he was the oldest priest in the diocese of Ardagh and Clonma& noise, and one of the oldest in all Ire land. During his long and saintly life he had placed to his credit a record of unremitting service to the people under his care, and the general sor row caused by his passing was reflected in the attendance at the Office and Requiem.

THE RECORD. Goomalling

The Loroert by the pupils of the Presentation Convent School was presented in the Memorial Hall on Monday night, the 17th. ult. The programme of items was full of variety, and the Sisters are to be congratulated on working up such a good entertainment. The children, too, must be commended for their reaction to the tuition which culminated in a performance quite up to the highest standard of school concerts. The concert opened with an overture played in good style by Misses Doris Fuller and Patricia Forrest. In the opening speech, Miss Beryl Clarke was clear and distinct, and the full chorus, "Starlight," by the school, received well merited applause. The Little Flower Maids," carrying baskets of bright coloured flowers, was a very pretty and pleasing item, Misses Pa Jeffery and Veronica Lowry taking the solo parts. Misses Beryl Clarke, Eileen White, Joy Clamp, Jean Drabsch, did their parts in a faultless manner also. Song and dance, "Raise the Tambourine on High," with tambour ine and castanet accompaniment, was an attractive item, the children being dressed in fancy costume. "In a parliamentary debate," "Labourers at Work," and a humorous sketch, entitled "When the Cat's Away the Mice Can Play," the boys were quite at home. and were well received in the three items. The boys' drill, in which fifteen senior and junior boys took part, was well done—the pyramids being particularly good. In a violin and piano duet, Misses Pat and Nfary Forrest were heard to advantage, and also Misses Pauline and Marion Bowen played "Dancing the Minuet" very nicely. An item, "Wax and Wooden Doll," was well acted by Veronica Lowry and Pat Jeffery. The infants, in their action song, "Grannie at the Fair," with Agnes Duggan in the role of "Grannie," trying to please all ages and sizes with her selection of toys, was well received, and proved a novelty item. The second half of the programme was devoted to a drama. "The Reverse of the Medal.- a story with a moral, which was well portryaed, in three axls, and got the full appreciation it deserved. The characters taking part were: Misses P. Forrest, M. Eaton, P. Bowen, M. Forrest, P. Fontanella, and B. Farrell. Miss Doris Fuller acted as capable accompaniste for the entire programme. A t the conclusion. Father William t hanked all for their patronage, and the pupils and Sisters for the entertainment provided. The National Anthem brought the programme to a finish and the children enjoyed the supper to advantage, while the grown-ups danced.

The response exceeded all expec:ations, and when entries closed, the producer, Billy Thomas, was set the task of adjudicating on five of the best efforts, each of which showed outstanding merit.

"The Second Spring" The presence in Australia of those celebrated Churchmen— Most Rev. Dr. Downey and Father Martindale, S.J.—coupled with the recent death of Cardinal Bourne, focuse s our attention upon the Church in England, where in little more than a century a miracle of grace is reclaiming a nation to its ancien t faith. English Catholics were in Newman's words a "gens lucifuga," till their political emancipation, in 1829, began the gradual breakdown of their social ostracism. This was favoured by the reaction from the French Revolution, and most of all by To the work of Cardinal Wiseman, howev the Oxford Movement. er, and wide sympathies, was due the restoration with his great gifts of the English Hierarchy in 1850. The newly -created Cardin al announced the event to English Catholics in his famous pastoral "from without the Flaminian gate,' printed by the "Times' in extenso. This at once provoked an anti-Catholic outburst, in which even Lord John Russell joined. Nothing daunted, the Cardinal set about writing his "Appeal to the Reason and Good Feelin, g on the Subject of the Catholic Hierarchy," of the English People and followed it up with a course of lectures on the same lines. It was some time before the storm lulled, but amicable feeling was at last restored. During Wiseman's episcopate of 15 years, the number of priests was trebled, converts increased fivefold, and fif ty-five monasteries were flourishing. His greatest work perhaps lay in presenting to his fellow-countrymen the historical significance of the Church. • • • • • • Nis successor, Cardinal Manning, during the first years of office, suffered unpopularity on account of his strict discipline, and "ultra-papalism." Popular opinion soon veered aroun d, however, when his qualities of statesmanship and his active part in social reform became evident. Indeed, he becam e known bishop who lived among his people," and it was his as "an Archpracti devotion to the children of the poor that caused him to waive cal buildthe ing of Westminster Cathedral. During this same period, Newman's "Apologia pro vita sua" appeared, coming like to multitudes, of what Catholicism really was. Moreo a revelation ver, his reply to Gladstone's "Vatican Decrees" shattered finally the loyal Catholic could not be also a loyal Englishman libel that a . Cardinal Vaughan succeeded, in 1892. His great work was the building of Westminster Cathedral. which stands. as a monument to him and to Cardinal Manning. • • • • So great was the Church's increase in England that the Holy See felt justified in 1908 to raise it out of the missionary status Catholic education has been well and adequately catered for.. From 1847 Catholic primary schools ,thared the Government grant, while the great secondary colleges of St. Edmund's, Ushaw, Stonyhurst. Downside. and Beaumont, had been solidly established. The Catholic Press had its origins in the publication of the "Tablet" and the "Universe," the latter to-day being the paragon of Catholic newspapers in interest, vigilance, tact and intelligence. Two other journals of importance are the "Dublin Review," edited by Mr. G. Ward, and the "Month." the Jesuit periodical, while the work of the Catholic Truth Society has tended, perhaps more than any other literary influence, to spread broadcast a simple and popular knowledge of the Faith. • • • * It is patent, then, that no factor has more potently contributed to the Church's astonishing progress in England than the truly great lineage of Primates which has been her happy lot. The tradition was in no wise weakened by Archbishop Bourne's accession in 1903. The great advance in the public influence of the Church in the last thirty years has been above all due to the late Cardinal's personal qualities. Becoming himself a great figure in English public life, and later in international diplomacy. he greatly increased the prestige of the Church. His services to the Allied cause in th,z Great War were generously applauded on all sides. In his tin,e we have witnessed the rise of the great Catholic apologists, lay and clerical. Indeed, it is no exaggerated claim that the cream of English letters to-day is mainly Catholic. Particularly striking is the Holy Father's special interest in England. and her reciprocal closer unity with the Holy See. English pilgrimages to Rome, notably in recent years, have become frequent. Conversions among all classes. but especially among men of letters, the growth of the Catholic social movement, the revival of several pre-Reformation devotions—all these are signs of the time, the time when England. weary of the chaos which the National Apostacy involved, is turning once more, gladly and resolutely, to the Faith which of old gave her the title of Mary's Dowry. In his farewell message to Australia, Cardinal MacRory, - peaking of education in this country, remarked upon the unjust position in which Catholics found themselves. In addition to paying their share in providing State school education, they had also to staff and maintain their own schools in order that their children might receive the full education required by the Church. This is certainly a striking anomaly, of which the Australian Hierarchy has had frequent occasion to complain. That is not true education which merely fills the mind with facts and figures. Edu-? ration must strive to form the whole man—physically, mentally, and morally—for man is a "body-soul." The evil of secular education rests in this. that it ignores the highest end for which man can strive, and the means to that end. In a word, it overlooks the primary reason of man's existence, viz., the knowledge and servic e Moreover, though the State school may inculc of God. ate the natural virtues of justice, truth and honesty, it offers to the child no adequate motive for his private conduct. The only solid foun-

dation of man's relations with his fellow man rests on the supernatural motive of Christian charity. Despite these serious difficulties, Catholic education in Australia has achieved an enviable standard, as is evident each year from its successes in the public examinations. May the manifold sacrinces of our religious Orders and of our Catholic parents find their recompense in their children's loyalty to, and activity for, the Church! To the Benedictine Fathers and Brothers, whose heroic work in he Drysdale River Mission is featured in this issue, the Church in Western Austraria, and indeed in Australia, owes no incons iderable debt of gratitude. The pioneering work in New South Wales was accomplished under the direction of two Bened ictine Archbishops, John Polding and Roger Bede. In our own State, in the year 1847, the foundation of a central native mission was confided to two Spanish Benedictines, Dom Serra and Dom Salvado. From this humble and arduous beginning grew the unique centre of Catholic interest and activity, which we call New Norm. When the dusky children of nature fled northwards at the advance of white settlements, the interest of the Church in their t piritual welfare did not flag. It resulted in the foundation of Mis. slow, along the Drysdale River and at Bea ?le Bay and Lombadina, which still do heroic work in the alle e moral and nhvsica! condition of the aborigines of the Nor'-West.

Brother Jerome got in a needed choir practice Members changed books at the Franciscan library, or accepted parcels of needlework, and all were in the Cathedral in good time for the reception of two sisters and five brothers into the Fraternity by Rev. Dr. Sullivan, the former and first Chaplain of the Order in Perth, who, while on a holiday visit. All the many very kindly officiated. brothers and sisters he had received into the Order during the three Years of his chaplaincy were very pleased to meet him again.

"We Are Innocent of Any Crime" A rchbishop Pascal Diaz, ['Innate of Mexico, has issued the following statement to the Press, in reply to the seditious charges against Catholics in Mexico: "Since in to-day's papers appear some declarations of General Calles in which he imputes direct responsibility for the present situation to the Bishops of the R epublic, in my position as Primate of the Mexican Episcopacy, I believe it pertinent to make known to the public the following declarations: " First. We are innocent of any crime of sedition which he wishes to impute to us: for the only thing that we, the Bishops, have done in defence of the rights of Catholics is that which Articles 24 and 130 of the Constitution of the Republican authorise us to do. "Second. With respect to the means by which Catholics ought to defend their rights, according to the instructions of the Holy See. we have declared and again we declare: 'The National Episcopate, just as it does not authorise Catholics to defend the rights of the Church, in its name, by means of arms or a political party of a religious character, also makes known to them the grave obligation which they have as citizens to defend all their natural rights by every ilicit and legal means, provided that the immutable principles of justice and mon alita- are always preserved.'"

After the reception of novices, Dr. Sullivan gave a sermonette, taking for his text the Feast of the day, the A doration of the Magi. and ended by urging Tertiaries also to give spiritual gifts, of which those of the three kings were symbols, to the Holy Child at this new year, most especially by making firm resolutions concerning the keeping of their mile and following the example of their holy founder, the seraphic Poverello, St. Francis of Assisi. The Cardinal Legate to the Melbourne Eucharistic Congress is a disinguished member of the Third Order. having been received publicly in t he Capuchin Church of St Mary of the Angels. Dublin, in 1927. His reception into the Third Order during the centenary year of the death of St Francis was his personal tribute to that great Saint. His Excellency Most Rev. Philip Bernardini is another very distinguished Tertiarary. Add our greatest Tertiary, His Holiness Pius XI., and the Tiiird Order may w ell pride itself on A great trio of modern Tertiaries.

The gseat demonstration under compulsion which was to have shown support of and enthusiasm for the National Revolutionary Party, the President, its Government and especially the amendment of Article 3 of the Constitution proved to be somewhat of a boomerang. Under compulsion. and in fear of losing their jobs, the majority of federal .:!mployees turned out—although some tendered their resignations—and were joined by groups of peasants. labourers, and the Parts' leaders and organi,ations, as well as some definitely Communistic groups; but they did not confine themselves to consideration of the educational laws. They protested in general against their present economic status, and the protests were hurled against the very Government which had ordered them to parade in its support. Added to the fact that they were marching under compulsion, there is the further fact that even though they were forced to march by the President and his Ministers, they took this opportunity to protest against working conditions instead of acclaiming the educational policy of the Government. Some groups carried placards which were confiscated hurriedly by the pol-

ice, but not even the increased number of officers on duty was sufficient to choke off the cries that came from Even the throats of the marchers. the most enthusiastic Revolutionists could hardly consider the demonstra tion to be that of contented workers While some groups carried banners demanding an improvement of their present economic state and real social justice, others, such as the fabrile and railway workers, through their leaders, denounced the injustices and irregularities from which they now suffer as they passed before President Rodriguez, who reviewed the parade from the balcony of the National Palace. Teachers in the official schools demanded that those teachers who had been unjustly dismissed by Narciso Bassols, during his term of office as Minister of Public Education be reinstated, and that the budget for education be increased by 10.000.000 pesos, so that teachers might receive decent salaries. These banners were promptly c onfiscated by the police. Students belonging to the Revolutionary Students' Federation cried "Down with Calles, owner of sugar prc,perties!" While this same group was marching by the palace balcony, speakers declared, before the President, that they did not wish to be fooled with false promises but wanted a "Socialism implanted which will favour the labouring masses and do away with privileged politicians who monopolise the national wealth." F AITHFUL RUSH FOR CONFIRMATION. While the Government's anti-Catholic demonstration was being held. there flocked to the Metropolitan Cathedral hundreds of men, women and children harassed by the thought of the pending threat of expulsion of Archbishop Diaz. They sought his blessing and asked to have the Sacrament of Confirmation administered to their children lest they be denied this priviltige later due to the expulsion of the Hierarchy. They stood in line all day, inside and outside the Cathedral. filling the enormous edifice, where every altar was ablaze with votive lights and the great quare outside as well.

First Quarter Begins February 5th, 1935

The whole community of eight Christian Brothers of the Order's School, at Turon, Asturias, were murdered during the recent revolt of the forces of the Left in Spain. On October 3, the revolutionaries suddenly entered the Brothers' School in order to set up the headquarters of their committee-their president being none other than the chief of the local Masonic Lodge. A Passionist priest, who had come on the eve from Mieres to prepare the pupils, as was his custom for the First Friday Communion, shared the fate of the Brothers. They were all led to the cemetery, lined up along a trench, and shot. The bodies were covered only with a thin layer of earth. On several of the bodies marks of brutality and cruelty were plainly visible. The head of the Brother Director was separated from the body.

THE RECORD.

16, On His Majesty's Service. Palace of Home Sweet Home, Osborne Park. Dear Aunt Be y,--I will be delighted to go with you down the river in that sardine tin, and I think it will do us both the world of good. I will be on "The Record" step at 1.30 o'clock on Wednesday, the 16th., if that will suit you. and I intend to travel incognito and without the c:rnpanionship of an aide-decamp. I also desire to exoress my entire satisfaction with the way in which my noble subjects have worked for the Bushies during the year of 1934. You have not been too had yourself, either, dear Lady, and so I have much pleasure in re-electing you to the office ot Private Secretary to my own most honourable self during 193.5. I am enclosing 6d to encourage your future eff orts.—Your fond monarch. KING KEVIN O'DOHERTY WATERS.

notice from you. It has been so hard to gather in the Wallflowers. Some of my generous supporters went to the Congress and only returned to- day, so you will forgive me, Aunty, dear. After much travelling and much begging, I haven't reached the £5 that I aimed at getting, but perhaps if I did, I might get proud and imagine myself as important as a Special Benefactor, so it is just as well the Lord keeps me humble. (Sure, Jinny machree. and when did you get like that?) However, I have worked hard with my box of things for the Busbies, and they will go to you by this mail. 1 think you will like the ones for the First C:omunicants. I do, and since a Lovely Lady whom you know picked the pictures herself. and provided me with the wherewithal to make them, you will love them all the more. I regret to tell you that I sent a card to each member of the family in Hobart and Bendigo. Both have failed to respond to the Call of the Bush. so you might admonish them for this when you write. A litle friend of mine from the country, Joan Steinmetz, was anxious to join the Corner, and she promised to write before Christmas. I hope she has done so. Much love, Aunty. dear. Tm sleepy. and the wind is whistling a hush-abye in my ear. Good-night.—Your loving niece. JINNY O'BRIEN

Sir,—Your kindness overwhelms me. and I am happy to assure you that both your noble subjects and myself consider it our chief delight in life to aid Rev. Dr. McMaiaon's Bushie Scheme, and we are prepared to swear loyalty to the Cause until we are speechless and penniless.
