Mussolini Visions World on Threshold of Better Civilisation

The huge armament companies have influenced the policies of nations of t he world to suit their own purposes. Industries on land and sea rill the houses of parliament in every country with men, vassals to tbeir own interests, that they might control legisla the economy of this century.

Benito Mussolini, writing on the solution of the World crisis, rays:— Just as the advent of steam and the machine heralded the doom of the purely mercantike and craft economy at the end of the Eighteenth Century, so now technological science and the super-machine with its anarchic and uncontrolled overproduction her. aid the doom of the free capitalistic regime, dear to the liberalism which has given the word of command to humanity now for 150 years.

Crisis shakes Power. That is the extent to which this capitalistic machine, abandoned to its material impulses, has led us. It has tormed states within the state, and it has taken this historic crisis to shake its power.

We are on the threshold of this turn which is a prelude to a change in the economic and social structure, and we have entered a new phase of civilisation. which is operating and already has given results in several great countries of the world. In my address at Milan, October 6, which I dedicated particularly to the workmen of that great industrial city, 1 plainly stated that the crisis through which we had passed for the last five years was not one of those usual crises, that it was not one of those recurring cycles in the economic trend which bankers and industrialists had been accustomed to e:pect and which ordinarily terminated in a relatively brief period of time.

This shows then the grip those ,tates of individuals or groups had on toe state of all the people, namely the nation. And there was no nation in t he world free from dictation by big business.

It is indeed a crisis in civilisation, in which the system of economy is affect-. ed and the whole social organisation is forced to 'radical modification in order to adjust itself anew to the state of things.

Fascism asserts the •supremacy o: t he state over all. The state is the • •oncentiation of the ph.:.'sical, moral, intellectual, and economic potentialities of the nation. Fascism. abope all, will not tolerate domination of the ::tate by one single class to the detriment of other classes. Fascism recognises diverse te,cial categories, but t hese cannot maintain an open cornhat within the state at the expense of the welfare of the state. Forces operating within the state must be coordinated in the interest of the whole and 'cannot constitute a danger, jeopardising to the whole. Basic Framework. Too long have the nations of the world discussed in Parliaments issues which had no serious bearing on the economic structure of the nation. Fascism seized on this structure as the basic frameworn for production of the nation's wealth. It cannot be dis. torted or torn asunder by quarrels ot prifate groups—by industrialists or labour unions. These must be com pleted to come within its orbit and under its command. All Fascist legislation from 1926 onwards has been inspired by these prin• ciples. This is the basis of the cor porative state. Producers are brought within the framework of the nation's production They are inducted into it on equal t erms. We do not tolerate solely a voice for industrialists and no hear• m ug for workmen. We give both equal participation. The workman is much a factor in production as the industrialist or the technician. We recognise him and give him opportunity for an appraisal of his skill and hi, interests in the operation proceqses the productive system. We recognise the rights of labour — enumerated as general principles in our labour charter. They give direction to all our action. Such prin iples constitute to-day the wealth of the Italian working class. It explains the profound change of the great masses towards the regime. Their attitude is that of sincere adherence and they demonstrated it during me recent visits -to Apulia and Lombardy. All young workmen belong to Fascist organisations and even the old ones who in other days belonged to the left parties, felt that Fascism has realised what was realisable in old ideals, while it has destroyed what was absurd, what was in contradic tion with story and life. Even in the field of lab-our the moral unity of the Italian peoples is complete and a victory for and a pride to Fascism.

The good Missioner has to regret sometimes that his Administrator runs short of these articles, and is heard to say in dismay, "Our larder and wardrobes are empty." Finally, the Mission is the general store which annually runs out as a rule on Christmas Day, for on this solemn day festivity takes place, and the Mission's sports and prize day are held.

vra.—The Buildings. All this work requires a number of buildings, and every one of these has been erected by the Monks themselves. Twenty timber and iron cottages, with a small private garden in front of each, arranged symmetrically in rows of four, form the modern little town occupied by the Christian natives. Of course, not all the natives settled at the Mission- nor even all the Christians, can find accommodation in the cottages It is of extreme regret that the Mission is unable to furnish them with all they require in the way of shelter, but improvements can only be made according to the means in hand. Meanwhile, the other natives regularly, to the number of sixty-five, and on fre quent occasions numbering one hundred, and fifty, all catechumens, art camped near the town, grouped according to tribes and families, with no other comfort than a hollow the shape of the body excavated in the soft sand, and with no other protec tion, even in the cool nights, than the big logs burning around them. This scheme, though primitive, keeps the atmosphere dry and warm, and prevents colds, though at times it is dangerous, for now and then many of the natives awaken with painful burns on arms and legs. • The present Church, with comfortable acommodation for three hundred and fifty worshippers, was erected by Rev. Father Rudesindus, 0.S.B., iii 1930. It is a picturesque, airy, and hurricane-proof building. It is constructed of galvanised iron supported by sixty well dressed columns of hard local timber. The work of these pillars was carried out with every care and love by Rev. Brother Vincent. The floor is paved with massive blocks of cement, the work of Rev. Father Thomas. An attractive and beautiful oil-painting of our Blessed Lady holding the Infant Jesus, a master piece from Father Lesmes' brush, presides, as Patroness of the Mission, from the main altar, while St Joseph and the "Little Flower" occupy, respectively, the side altars. It is in this Church that the handsome harmonium, recently presented by the German Government. in recognition of what the Mission did to save the lives of the t wo lost German fliers- will resound accompanying the Gregorian melodies chanted by the Monks, and also the motets to the Blessed Sacrament at Benediction. sung by the gathers and the natives every Thursday and Sunday throughout the year. Close to the church stands the Monastery; housing at present five Monks. It was finished in 1931, and blessed the same Year by the Abbot of New Norcia. It is a commodious cool twostorey building, with twelve rooms, well arranged to meet the weather conditions of the tropics. The materials used for it are much the same as those of the church, with the exception of the4imber. which in this case is cypresslaine, and this has been employed in preference to any other because experience has taught our builders that c ypress pine is proof against the de structive white ants. The next important building is the Convent, which was finished in 1931. Its plan is similar to that of the Monastery. but smaller. On its completion, three Sisters. Oblates of Saint Benedict, were installed by the Abbot. They had been trained for the work at New Norcia Mission, and so found themselves quite at home among

the nafives at Drysdale. These Sisters devote their lives to caring for the children, teaching them, and implanting in their souls the truths of our holy faith. They also direct the cooking and sewing, and are also engaged in many other , occupations indispensable in the Mission. Being well trained in the work, none know better than they the wants of the place and the difficulties that befall the Missionaries, so in the retirement of their cells, when daily work is over, fervently they offer their prayers to Almighty God for the conversion of the aborigines and for the progress of the Mission. Their work, so efficiently carried out, has considerably alleviated the ordinary labours of the Priests and Brothers, and thus they are more at liberty to devote their energies to many other works of zeal and also to the temporal prospepity of the Mission, which depends largely on the cultivation of the land. IX —Mission's Support. Thus the Missionaries, with some of the more active and intelligent natives, men and womal, spend long hours every day under the oppressive heat of the tropics digging and ploughing and planting, and sometimes in harvesting. I say "sometimes," because not always have they any crops to har vest, the soil being frequently subject to at least the seven plagues of Egypt. Thus this Year, for instance, a devouring plague of grasshoppers did not miss the Drysdale Mission: but after all this was fortunate, as the damage caused was not very extensive. And the reason given by the aborigines in their simplicity, was that by the holy water which the priest used for the exorcism, against the noxious insects, the grasshoppers became Christian and consequently could not do any harmBut it often happens that after much labour they get very poor return Moreover, the land surrounding the Mission is far from being first-class soil. This fact increases the difficulties and the labour, too. Fortunately, in the fifty thousand acres we keep on lease, and where we pastare the small number of cattle- goats, and other animals, only for the Mission's consumption. we have no difficulty in selecting good land suitable for cultivation, though far from the Mission. After much experimenting the Missioners have chosen, and with a good prospect, a piece of land at a place called by the natives "Caloombooroo," sixteen miles south-west of the Mission, and close to the ever -flowing Edward's River. Here water, a most essential commodity in any set. tlement, is abundant. The only draw' hack regarding it is the almost impossibilit7- of elevating the water from the river. its banks being forty feet high, in sufficient quantity for irrigation. A water supply scheme has to be pro. vided, but this at present is beyond our power. God in His Providence will come to our aid in some way or other. When the land here becomes irrigated, rice, the chief and indispensable food for the aborigines. will he grown in huge quantities., and the economical problems of the 'Mission will be satisfactorily solved. A stitable residence for the Missioners has already been erected there, and also.a nice little church. A further advantage of the "Caloombooroo" establishment is that the Waalambee tribe settled in that district will be better attended in every respect. Naturally enough- the two lonely Missionaries living in that secluded place feel the monotony of the solitude, but this is compensated by the consolation of having with them their best Friend— the Blessed Sacrament, reserved day and night in the tabernacle of the small church. The Mission is not yet self-suppc,rting• but God so far has made provision for it through different channels. The large amount of one thousand pounds annually, required to pay the bills for clothing, flour, sugar, agricultural im plements. building materials, necessary travelling, freights, church requisites, medicines and sundries are made ready by charitable institutions, by the Australian branch of the Pr, pagation of the Faith• and bv persons who take to heart the kind salvation of souls, and more particularly in such destitute Missions as that of the Drysdale. In addition to that help, it is only just to mention that the A borigines Department of W.A. contributes £60 every year for support of twelve of the invalids. But against that, over £100 have to be paid N'early

Before finishing, I wish to state that the West Australian Government, convinced of the benefits brought about by the Mission. both to the State in general and to the aborigines in particular, at the request of the Abbot of Npw Norcia, kindly passed a law granting one thousand acres of land in freehold to the Drysdale River Mission, in recognition of its work, Though this grant assumes the form of a gift, it is really a reward for their work. Which work? In the year 190S no white people were safe when travelling through the bush or along the coast from Vasintart Bay to Wyndham. They were always exposed to the dreadful spears of the savages. To-day you may go across those places unprotected with the same assurance of security of life as in the s treets of this city. You will no longer meet savages there, but you will find Christians and people preparing to embrace Christianity. and with it civilisation.

A report presented to the Holy Father by Cardinal Marchetti Selvaggiani, Vicar General of Rome, indicates a great increase in the population ot that city. In the past three years the number of churches around the city has increased from 27 to 93, and the number of clergysattached to them has grown from 27 to 106. The number of parishes has increased from 67 to 83. New churches built and being built number 23.

A State of Sheer Slavery POSITION OF CATHOLICS IN GERMANY. The following illuminating view of the conditions under which Catholics are at present living in Germany, and the outlook for the future as seen by a German priest, has been revealed by a Catholic journalist now travelling in that country. "The state of Catholics here is one of sheer slavery; even our intelligence is oppressed." I was asked by a priest to tell you, writes our correspondent. "We can do nothing; we are help less slaves, such as we never have been before in the history of Germany," continued the priest. "At the moment, the Government is not sure of the Saar. God help the people there. if they make a stand against the Fuehrer. He will annihilate them at the hands of their own countrymen. And if they come to Germany, then we shall have even a worse time than the Jews had, for our Government is purely heathen and for pagnisrn. "We can do nothing. At first we tried to unite our youth, but we were stopped; even parents cannot control their own children here to-day, and the priest is not allowed to interfere. "There are more martyrs in Germany to-day than in the East in the Middle Ages. "Von Papen is simple a tool in the hands of the Government. We cannot even consider him normal. He was degraded; yes, his ambition would not allow him to refuse the post at Vienna. Had it not been for him. Breunigg would be alive to-day and the Government in his hands." Questioned about recent voting, the priest said: "Votes? You do not call that voting. do you? One candidate only was allowed to stand. Even then. 20 per cent. here"--the name of the city is withheld for precautionary reasons-"and 40 per cent. in Hamburg voted against. "How I would like to have seen the true counting and results. Can you not read between the lines in our papers?" LOOK! STOVES FROM £3. WESTERN STOVE CO., 256 WELLINGTTON STREET ( Opp. Perth Hospital) .

Where Marist Missionaries Were Expelled

GUM TREES

The Lau Islands, a group of tiny spots on the map of the Pacific, east of Fiji, have requested the return of Catholic missionarie,s whom they drove Fifty islanders away 8.0 years ago. have been baptised. The Marist missionaries, beginning work in Fiji in 1844, celebrated their first Mass on the Lau Islands. NonCatholic missionaries had preceded them by a dozen years, however, .and they invited the people to oppose the new arrivals. Aften ten years of bitter persecution, the .Marists were obliged to withdraw, though they never gave up hope and visited the islands from time to time, winning the con. fidence of a few families, who there_ upon sent their children to the rnis. sionaries' schools. A year ago a group of Lau Islanders asked for instruction in the catholic religion. A catechist was sent them, and 12 months later the first group of 50 received baptism. The vast distance limits visits of the missionary to one a year. until such time as the islands will again have their own resident priest. . In the meantime, the Vicar -Apostolic. Bishop Charles J. Nicholas. has arranged that marriage ceremonies be performed in the presence of the catechist. The Vicariate of Fiji has an excellent corps of highly efficient catechists who go through a special course of preparation. Seven .Marist Missionaries, destined for Fiji, Samoa. Solomon Islands and New Caledonia, have sailed fr )m Naples. In the group is Rev. P Villaine, of Nantes. France, who has sassed 40 years in Fiji. He has four :isters in religion and three brothers pr st . two besides himself being in th- misison field.

With a very large attendance of members, the usual club meeting was held on Wednesday evening of last weekSecretary J. Morris read the balance sheet for the half year, which showed the club to be in a strong financial position. Several members spoke in glowing terms of the wonderful work done i)y the secretary, treasurer and all members of the committee.

Dramatic Club's activities, and could well be copied by the "sporting" sections of any club.

St. Patrick's Old Boys' Cricket Club ( By Cover Point.) On Saturday the "A" team defeated St. Andrew's by the huge margin of an innings and 128 runs. Jack Leminone won the toss and batted. A wicket fell in the first over, but from then on the batsmen took charge and some brilliant batting was seen, and the hundred was posted in 28 minutes. Lloyd Morrison (71) gave a brilliant e xhibition, and batted only 40 minPhil Nelligan (33), Joe Watutes. ling, Tom McLaughlin, and Lou Lynes also did well, and Jim Walsh -(18 not out) and Alby Armfield (30). made a splendid last wicket stand of over 50. Armfield's tally included three glorious sixers. St. Andrew's then batted, but were completely routed, and were dismissed for 35 and 52. Fast bowlers Phil Nelligan and Alby Armfield bowled grandly, and were backed by magnificent fielding, inclbding wonderful catches by Lou Lynes (2), Joe Watling, and Ron Taylor. Scores: St. Patrick's, 225 (Morrison 71. P. Nel. ligan 33, Armfield 30, J. Walsh 18 not out, Watling 17, McLaughlin 14, Lynes 10) ; St. Andrew's, 35 and 52. Bowling: P. Nelligan, 8 for 29; Armfield, 5 for 22; Lynes, 4 for 10; F. Nelligan, 3 for 27. Should the team continue in its present form, the premiership would appelr a foregone conclusion.

Cricket. Our Cricket team suffered defeat against Pride of Piccadilly team by 17 runs on first innings. Scores: P.O.P., 150; I3.C.Y.M.S., 133. Second innings, P.O.P., 100; B.C.Y.M.S., 8 wickets for Time was the deciding factor of 83. the match. Our next match will be against M.0.0.0.F.S. Lodge, on Launceston Ground. We hope that every member will be available, and each at the : top of his form, as this match will decide 'our inclusion in the final four. Dramatic Club. On Sunday evening, after devotions, the greatest number of Dramatic Club members, since the club's inception, attended at the club rooms. Mr. F. Ryan presided over the meeting, when all arrangements for the next produc tiqn were discussed in detail. Mr. Frank Rodgers, writer and director of our next piece, had the unenviable task of allotting parts in the production. Secretary J. Morris, who recognises dramatic work as the strong point of the club's social activities, was very pleased with the big attendance.

PERTH. !-,:\T liRDAY, JANUARY 19, 1935.

The Lay Apostolate That the whole-hearted, systematic and well-organised cooperation ot the laity is indispensable, if any noteworthy progress is to be achieved in the conversion of our non-Catholic brethren, is no longer ground for debate. The importance of the layman with his opportunities for wide contacts is becoming increasingly evident, and has been repeatedly stressed by the Holy Father. The question then is no longer one of the expediency of the lay apostolate, but of its proper organisation and efficient exploitation. Linked up with this idea is the fact that the mental complexion of our generation is decidedly favourable to vigorous apostolic activity. Outside the Church, men of goodwill are being buffeted about in a turbulent sea of pseudo-science, philosophic sophistry, emotional religious "experience," and the deification of false standards. In Chesterton's apt epigram, many cannot decide whether they , are being impelled "by a divine hope or a devouring superstition." Amid all this confusion, one Voice is clear, insistent and authoritative—the voice of the Catholic Church. The Catholic layman, alive to the conditions that surround him, will be stimulated to accept his share in bringing to his fellow men not only salvation but even sanity. • We may safely say that the layman's first qualification must be zeal for the cause of Christ. This follows quite naturally upon the first and greatest Commandment of charity. He who loves his neighbour, desires most eacnestly to have him within the "one The Life of Our Lord will perhaps still more serve to fold.' a waken him to his grand vocation. "Lift up your eyes and see the c ountries, for they are white even to the harvest." But zeal alone will not suffice. Hand in hand with it must go knowledge. It would be idle to maintain that the average Catholic is intellectually equipped for the lay apostolate. His faith is sincere. but often he is quite unable to give an account, let alone a defence, of the faith that is in him. It is pathetc to think that many remain unequipped for this splendid work, simply because they do not, or will not, read suitable Catholic books and periodicals. In England and America study circles and classes of apologetics have made striking advances, and the great number of converts must at least to some extent be traceable to these well-instructed lay apostles. Owing to the insufficient numbers of the clergy, and the vast parishes to.be administered, the lay apostolate has not yet been in marked evidence in Australia, although in three of the Eastern States the Catholic Evidence Guild has commenced operations, while the Campion and the Legion of Mary flourish in Victoria. Our hope iss that before very long Australia, too, will develop this tine movement which has proved its worth so signally abrbad. The mining deadlock, which is at present affecting the entire goldfields area, serves to remind us that the Church has promulgated certain principles bearing directly on the vexatious relations existing between Capital and Labour. Speaking of the wrongs done to the worker, Pope Leo said, in forceful language: It has come to pass that working men have been given over, isolated and defenceless, to the callousness of employers and the greed of unrestrained competition, so that a small number of very rich men have been able to lay a yoke little better than slavery itself upon the masses of the poor." So in every industrial dispute, for the securing of decent conditions, the Church has given strong support to the cause of the worker. • • The matter of a strike involves serious moral issues, for often enough the widespread distress which it incurs is greater than the concessions obtained. Still, the Church recognises that there are serious and urgent wrongs to be righted, and when ordinary means fail, the workers may then have recourse to extraordinary means. She insists, however, that when workers decide upon the last grave resort of striking, they ntust be animated not by a spirit of vindictiveness, but by a sincere desire to secure the them. They must not strike for trivial reasons, justice due to but for the remedying of a grave injustice, and the, evil to be rectified must at least be as great as the evil which will ensure upon the strike. And. finally, there must be reasonable grounds to hope for success, so that all the hardships entailed will not he borne in vain. On the face of it, it would seem that in the present case, all the ordinary avenues of peaceful settlement were not fully explored and, moreover, considering the rather trivial nature of the dispute, some graver grievance than the reshuffling of hours might reasonably be looked for before such extraordinary means as a general strike should he resorted to.

On Tuesday last, the Saar plebiscite, which returned a large majority vote in favour of reunion with Germany, settled, it is to be hoped, a question of considerable moment to the peace of Europe. The Saar Basin was perhaps Germany- s most serious territorial forfeiture when, at the Peace of Versailles, it was placed under the gintrol of a League of Nation's Commission for fifteen years. At the end of this period the people of the Saarland were to be free to choose by plebiscite whether they would remain under the League or revert to Germany, or be joined to France. They have chosen to return to Germany. In view ot the fact that the Saar is for the most part populated by Germans, this is not surprising, though the Nazification of Prussia is likely to affect seriously the position of some 70 per cent. Saarlanders who are Catholics. The arrangements made at Versailles in 1919 for the ownership or control of the Saar, were not completed without keen debate. For the Saar, though only a small region of 740 square miles, is densely populated and highly industrialised. In addition, it possesses great coal mines, together with iron and steel works. In reparation for Germany's partial destruction of the French coal mines during the War, France claimed the Saar coal mines from Germany at its conclusion, and they have been worked ever since by the French Government. It will now be incumbent upon Germany to buy back the mines from France at an agreed price or a valuation. For some time now there has been no little unrest in the Saar, due partly to Nazi terrorism, and partly to the divergent social views of Catholics and Socialists. Quite recently an international police force was set up there to keep order, and no serious disturbances have occurred. Even so, the situation is still tense, as the French are apprehensive of the German's attitude to those who voted against them. Anything in the nature of reprisals would be a serious blow to European peace. Sir John Fleming. the eminent scientist, in a presiden dress, stated during the week that adherence to the doctrine tial adof Evolution was entirely_ inconsistent with the fundamental doctrines of Christianity. We did not need to await Sir John's pronouncement for enlightenment on that matter. In fact, Darwin himself, who founded the theory, would be most surprise d if such an implication were attached to his principle. Nevertheless, it is necessary to distinguish in the matter. If evolution means the evolution of man's body and soul from a lower animal, tainly opposed to Christian teaching. Man's soul then it is ceris certainly not the result of evolution, but immediately created by God. As regards his body, however, there is no dogmatic teaching oncerning its precise mode of formation, but the Church stands to the ordinary teaching that his body has not evolved from lower beings, but that it also was produced by the special intervention of God. The idea that the body of man has evolved from lower animals is scientifically and philosophically highly improbable, and it cannot be held with either safety or prudence. Science has proved nothing concerning man's body. and is merely in the conjectural stage. And in view of the mind of the Church. no.Catholic would be justified in denying the literal Biblical account. He must accept it as mere probable than the evolutionary hypothesis. Presumption stands for the literal sense until the contrary has been demonstrated.

The Archdiocese

THE RECORD.

Father MacMahon Returns Thanks My Dear Friends of the Busbies,— .1 cannot call you children, for many of our helpers are no longer in their 'teens. I find it very difficult to say half of what I feel by way of thanking you, one and all, for your magnificent response to Aunt Bessy 's Appeal for the Babes in the Bush. It has exceeded my wildest dreams, and laid to rest for the moment, at any rate, my anxiety over the record e xpenditure that the Scheme sponsored and encouraged during 1934. When you remember that Religious Holiday Schools were held at Manjimup, Busselton, Bridgetown, Donnybrook and Pinjarra, in the SouthWest; and at Albany, Katanning, Wagin, Narrogin, and Beverley, in the Great Southern District; and at Esperance, on the coast; and nearer town, at Toodyay, Midland Junction, Kalamunda, and at the moment there are thirty children assembled at Canning Dam, to whom Sisters go each morning from Perth. you can readily, understand that our expenses are very heavy, for we guarantee the various convents 10s. per head per week as long as the school lasts, and some of them continued for four weeks, because the children did not want to go home. This year we sent books, devotional aids, and other things to the various centres, and I had some misgivings when the bills accumulated, and polite reminders came in my mail each month—but, as ever when you do anything worthwhile for the Lord, He always provides the means. The Bushies' Scheme should teach us all. diffident and over-safe, that when anything really essential should be done, go ahead and do it, and He will see you through. To these items of expenditure must be added the cost of the Correspondence Classes, conducted from various centres; postage, paper, books, and devotional aids, soon mount up. The good Sisters who devote their time, time snatched from the limited recreation that is theirs, should be spared any anxiety about hills for what they send the children. That we can do now, owing to your generosity. And our hopes for the future? c want to be able to say to every priest in the countsv tlistricts, bring the children into your convent, and we shall pay' the expenses. Furthermore, we do hope to be able to say to the priest, bring the same children back again next year. and in addition bring as many fresh ones as you can accomou date. F115t

Second: We hope to be able to say to every convent centre which has held a, Holiday Religious School, that a Correspondence Scheme for the children within that district should be established there to care for the children of that parish. Experience has taught me that the best results (some from de - centralising the correspondence classes wherever possible. If one of the sisters in the local convent conducts the cosst.spondence, she has always the advice and practical assistance of the parish priest. Another advantage is that the child knows her, having met her at the When the child returns to his or her bush Religious Holiday School. home, the correspondence classes follow him or her, and act as a reminder of all that happened at the Religious Holiday School. The par ents are naturally interested in what the child receives so regularly by mail each month. and in that way we hope that the child may lead the Use your careless parents back to the Church and the Sacraments. imagination, and see the innumerable avenues of good that await that To be able to say monthly letter and enclosures from the local convent! to every convent in the country, enroll all the children who live too far a way from your school in correspondence classes, costs money, and that money must come each year. To make the work more uniform, and lighten the task of the Sisters, our ambition is to publish a graded set of instructions which we can supply to each centre. A final hope is to send one of the missionary priests, a Redemptorist or an Oblate Father. to spend a week or more among the children assembled for a Religious Holiday School. This is a very wordy letter. for I set out to say a sincere thank you, but somehow I feel so moved by your response that I launched out into an account of the Scheme. so well known and loved by all of you. May the Babe of the Crib shower from his outstretched arms blessings a_thou'sandfold into the hearts of all who have helped to augment the funds of To the priests, whose generous donations have flowed in the Scheme. under the cloak of anonymity. and to the priests who have driven their. ears criss-crossing over their continent-panshes canvassing careless par ents to send in their children, and providing transport for a miscellanc_ ous cargo of children. bedding. sides of lamb, and spilling bags. dropping "spuds" and apples along most of. the country roads of the Statg, we cannot say thanks. we leave that pleasing duty to Him who will never allow To the Sisters who have spoken Himself to be outdone in generosity. to their classes about the Bushies, and have by example and word encouraged their children, fortunate in having a Catholic school nearby, to think of the less fortunate Bushies, of their pennies to make sacrifices to help the Scheme, the Lord also will repay. And to the many of you, old and young. all children still at heart, who edify and amuse us by your letters to Aunt liessy's Page each week in "The Record," may the Lord bless you, and show you how pleased He is with you all. And "The Re cord." by donating two pages to this missionary enterprise in the West' has won for itself the honour and distinction of being the only diocesan journal in Australia to show by such practical proof how the cry of the And finally, to you. Aunt Bessy, wholittle Busbies may be answered. ever You are, may the good Lord reward. in His own way, and in measures overflowing, you for all that you have done. There is no doubt but the smile of the Babe of Bethlehem is on this work, for see how your Appeal has grown:— In the year 1931, Aunt Bessy raised £37 lOs 6d. In the year 1932. Aunt Bessy raised £202 12s 11d. In the year 1933' Aunt Bessy raised £447 9s 9d. In the year 1934, Aunt Bessy raised 2524 12s 3d. Making a total of £1212 5s 5d spent in the cause of the Bushies from 1931 to 1934. and, my friends, was ever money better spent in this Diocese? And the cause of the Busbies continues, for as you pointed out a vision to us all— "They are calling to us all. the little Bushies, Who knows what their lives may yet reveal? They are made to know and love God now and after A ttendite their call is His appeal." May the day never dawn in the West when that call shall fall on unheeding ears. Who can estimate the good this Scheme has accomplished in the West? It is truly an Apostolic work, a real mission, a great charity, an active apostolate. a work that must bring God's choicest blessings on all those engaged in it, or helping in any way, in fact, a work that must ensure a passport to heaven for one arid all of you. And may I conclude, as all Bushies' letters should, by begging that you will say a prayer for me, and for those who, pioneering the I3ushies' Scheme, that our enthusiasm may not weaken, hut that as the years rol; on. with whatever calls they make upon our time and energies, we may always have the Busbies' Cause at heart. Thanking you one and all. JOHN T. M. cMAHON, Founder of the Bushies' Scheme. South Perth, January 14. 1935.

PATSY AND PAULINE Dear Patsy and Pauline.—No wonder everyone who sees me these days says I look bout four and a half, for I feel just as young as that since your letter came into the office. and I read that you were willing for the 1935 cards. Well, instead of cards, I will send you a couple of books of tickets for Love's Young Dream, and later on, when you see her picture in the Corner, you will blink seven hundred and fifty-four times—she is so beautiful.

Then we had breakfast and went to bed again at 4 o'clock. I was up first on Xmas Day.

THE RECORD.

ter than mine, as far as Father Christmas went, because what do you think? I had only one of Tiddles' mittens to hang up for him, as the laundry for got to send back my pillowslip. It was very disappointing, as Tiddles claimed everything that was in the mitten, but I believe someone has a pair of "horse shoes" parcelled up for me, though I haven't got them yet, but when I do I might canter as far as Goomalling. I hope those old tonsils are gone by this. AUNT BESSY.

other day and who did not know I w as me, told me that "Aunt Bessy is a poor old woman with a feather in her hat," so I am going to ask the nice gentleman at the Zoo if he will give me an Emu to wear in my hat instead so that I will look younger.

Annie Ryan, where are you? The book says you are going to be fifteen on the 20th—that means a trio of birthdays in West Australia next Sunday, and they haven't said a word about it anywhere else except in this Corner. If I can see the Lord Mayor I will tell him it is a shame, as I think he, ought to decorate the Town Hall or something for three little Gropers who love the Bushies. And then comes you, Barnie! Congratulations on having lived long enough to see your 10th. anniversary! You won't notice the next seventy years passing along, as once you do Ten the years seem to fly, and I hope as the years fly for you that they won't blow up any dust and bothersome things, like the big winds sometimes do, but that they will be years of contentment and success at school and later on in whatever work you set your hand to. Last of all, comes you, my Gracie. and like your cousin , Barnie, you are going to know what it feels like to be Ten once next Saturday comes—the 26th. January.

" To be a Real Catholic Today is to Live Dangerously" "Catholics to-day are surely living in the most stirring and adventurous times that the Church has ever been through." declares the Archbishop of Birmingham (Most Rev. Dr. Williams', in his Advent letter. "Great events happen almost every day, each having some bearing on Catholic destinies, vast changes and revolutions not only in outward affairs, but in habits of thought and ideals of conduct. "A new age is beginning whether we like it or not, bringing with it many difficulties and perplexities.

courage and endurance that they can get. "We live in an age when great at tention is paid to physical culture and to health conditions. And this is all to the good, for good health is the best guarantee of usefulness and happiness and goodness, and the body is strengthened by good food, fresh air, exercise, and cleanliness. "Rut what is to strengthen the soul?" Archbishop Williams answers the question by urging every individual who. helm in a state Of grace, can possible do so to receive Holy Commto nion every day. Correcting certain false impressions. His Grace points out that "daily Communion is not a reward given to us because we are holy. hut is a means of grace given to us because we are sin ? ners. "It is so much the best and surest means of obtaining grace that if. for instance, we wished to make a specially good Holy Communion at Christmas the best means of preparing ourselves would be to receive Holy Cornmunion every day from now to Christmas. . .

"We Cannot Rely on Any Party." "It behoves us to put politics aside and to bear in mind that we cannot rely on any party in the matter of our schools," writes the Bishop of Southwark in his Advent letter. "A good Catholic," says Bishop Amigo, "may vote on the Conservative, Labour or Liberal side, but, whatever our politics may be, we Catholics must press for justice to our schools, especially as there is grave danger to them with, the plea of giv. ing greater facilities to children over 11.

TWENTY-TWO THE ROAD TO HAPPINESS. The road to daily happiness Is not so hard to find; You walk ahead serenely And leave your cares behind. A word of cheer upon your lips, A ready hand to Kive, A smiling face, a snatch of song, Will help you well to live. Along the road to happiness Are travellers on the way. To aid a struggling pilgrim You have your part to play. The love you give to others, The good that you may do, The helping hand you proffer, Will bring good cheer to you. There may be stony places, And rugged hills to climb, But lying just beyond you, A vision all sublime. The road to daily happiness Is not so hard to find; It's what you do for others That brings true peace of mind. Kleiser. "BROADMINDEDNESS IN RELIGION." This was the theme of an address delivered by Archbishop Downey, of Liverpool, to a large gathering of C.Y.M.S. assembled at Stalybridge, towards the beginning of last month. His Grace pointed out that in the matter of divinely revealed truths, there can be no room for broadmindedness, any more than when dealing with the established principle of science. He declared: "You say. 'A proposition may be partly true and partly false: Quite so; but the part that is true is all true, and the part that is false is all false. . . . The Ten Commandments are regarded by some people in the same way as the list of questions set for candidates for examination papers, prefaced by the italicised remark: 'Only five of the following to be attempted and full marks may be obtained for answering even less. . . Broadmindedness is one of the most abused words in the English language. In reality, it means a masterly indifference to the things that don't matter, provided the essentials are maintained. There is no room for broadmind• edness in the narrow columns of the multiplication table, and there is equally no room for it when you are dealing with the essential principles of Chriqtianity.THE CHURCH THAT NEVER DIES "The world should profit by experience and give up expecting the Church to die. If a bell had been tolled on a thousand different occasions and the funeral never took place• men would soon begin to regard the funeral as a joke. So it is with the Church.

Like a mighty oak tree which has stood for twenty centuries, she bears fresh green foliage for each new age, that the age may come and enjoy the refreshing benediction of its shade. The flowers that open their chalices of perfume this spring are not old things, but new things on an old root."—Rev. Dr. Fulton Sheen. SAYINGS OF SAINTS AND WISE MEN. Follies can never be woven into the web of durable things. To be cruel is wicked, and unlike Our Lord. Men who never make mistakes, it there are any, never make anything. Happy is the youth because he has time before him to do good. We ought to read devout and simple books as willingly as those that are high and profound. Whoever is truly resolved to follow Jesus Christ should fear nothing, for Jtsus Christ will assuredly help him. 'One obstacle to the goodness of our actions is precipitation.—St. Francis de Sales. If we would see the stars of His mysteries we must first descend into the deep well of humility. The essence of character, which blends into and flavours every act and thought. lies in the invaluable accumulation of good habits. and like a good egg. its true value lies deeper than the flimsy shell of outward appearances.

NIGHT AT NOONDAY. It was, a glorious night when Christ was born; it was a sad night at noonday when He was crucified. The song of the night was changed to a cry ot despair—when night was at noonday. it is never the day nor the night that makes either the song or the cry. Prisons become palaces, darkness turns to day—when the Christ is born and But palaces are prisons, enters in. and the light of noontide sinks into the darkness of midnight, when He dies—when He "the Friend of sinners," dies. It is always so, 0 heart of mine. It is Christ living who makes the daydawn .rise in thee; it is the Christ departing who leaves the darkness behind. even though the world may say it is noonday; men often say they are in the light, yet they do not know Him; and, what is worse, they do not care for Him. What can a blind soul know of Thou art living in the darklight! ness if He is away. though the clock strikes high noon. It is only He who makes the dial point to the rising sun. THE PERFUME OF THE MASS.

f t is always necessary to repeat the same suggestion many times in order to change any old and established custom. And so it would be well to recall, over and over, the remark that our Catholic people will greatly oblige the Holy Souls in Purgatory by getting into the way of sending promises of Masses for the departed.

The Average Man's Prayer Lord, I speak not in scholarly language but somehow I know You won't care, For mine is a humble petition; mine is. the average man's prayer. My thoughts I'll admit are not brilliant. My wishes—ah, You know them well. There are many of me and my brethren. So many, it's needless to tell. You know I am one of those pluggers. I go out each day and I fight. And sometimes I'm beaten—discouraged. And God! but I- 'm weary at night. I bark at my wife, who is patient. I bully my kiddies, who cry. I know I could be better-natured; but often . . . . I don't even try. But YOU know how rough things are running; how business is all in a hole. A man's got to sweat for his living, and struggle with body and soul. Lord, help me to face life with courage, and bless everything that do. I'm dumb when it comes to this praying; but I trust and rely I upon YOU. Watch over the days of my dear ones; they're all that I have. On the square I wish I could make this more lofty. But it's only the average man's prayer.

A blossom or two is well enough t, console the living and to typify the loveliness of the resurrection, wten we shall all, please God, blossom forth with Our Saviour from the tomb and amaze our own souls with our risen glory. But consider—what consolation do these heaps of flowers bring to the departed souls who are now fasting in fires until their eager longing is filled with the vision of Goth The flowers lie there and wither, They have no efficacy to ease the pain and hasten the glory of the suffering soul. But one holy Mass offerel for that soul brings it, in God's mercy, a hastening of its release and the comfort of drawing nearer to the Smile of its Heavenly Father in its eternal home! The perfume of the Ma-.s is everlasting. One Mass is more precious and availing than all the biussorns that ever withered on a tomb. To give the alms that will ensure one Mass for the departed soul is a better and more sensible act of aid and solace, both to the dead, and, therefore the living, than to heap a costly pyramid of blooms over the grave every day for a thousand years. Let us act on our knowledge of the teachings of our holy faith and get into the habit of sending to the homes that death has saddened the assurance that we. have asked a priest to say Mass for the departei—giving, in alms for these, what we should other. wise have spent ugelessly on flowers. POINTERS FROM FATHER DEM Presumption or over - confidence has its pitfalls, but it is much less per . out than despair. There are extraordinary possibilities for both good and evil in even the most ordinary, average people. Many girls doom themselves to lifelong spinsterhood by excessive makeup and other cheap stupidities, which scare men away from matrimony. Because she declines to devote her leisure hours to washing-up and knitting it does not follow that the modern girl has ceased to be a homemaker. Those in authority should %yield their power for the benefit and in the best io interests of those under their jurisclicMuch of modern history is unreli able, as is evident from the processes of distortion, perversion, and dressing. up of facts which is going on coo' tinually under our own eyes. Life is not exactly a joy ride, but you will avoid many a bump if you r emember that you have fellow-Pas' sengers and that you owe them duties of justice, charity, and courtesy. The present world problems are primarily moral and only secondarily economic. It is only by climbing up to the higher moral plane that the seemingly impossible will become pos. sible.

AN AERIAL VIEW .OF ST. MARY'S CATHEDRAL. Bishop Florien bernange, of the Paris Foreign Missions, Vicar Apostolic of Taikou, received the Cross of the Legion of Honour, October 31, aboard .the French sloop of war Tahure. Admiral Richard, Commander of the French squadron in the Far East, delegated Captain Craziani, of the Tahure, to present the decoration to the missionary. His Excellency Bishop George Six, of the Scheut Missionaries, newly elected Vicar Apostolic of Leopoldville, reached the capital of the Coneo on November 25, and was received at the railway station by delegates of the Governor. General and the Chief of the Province. The Apostolic Delegate to the Belgian Congo, His Excellency Archbishop Joseph Dellepiane, received the new Bishop in the Leopoldville Cathedral, where among the distinguished visitors attending the ceremony was the Governor General of the Congo, Mr. Ryckmans. Perhaps no colonising power in the world gives so much attention _to missions as does Belgium. The authorities recognise the missionaries as agents of good, people who come to stay and to help build the country by building the people. The Government aids the missionary as priest, as educator, as doctor. and as messenger of charity.
