SIXTY-FIRST YEAR.
(5-he Splendour of caw Orient Father Gavan Duffy Lectures at Century Club
Rev. T. Gavan Duffy. On the eve of his departure for India, the Rev. T. Gavan Duffy, who came to Melbourne for the Eucharistic Congress, addressed m embers of the Century Club at the Central Catholic Library. A member of the Paris Society for Foreign Missions. Father Gavan Duffy has spent nearly twentyfive years in India. and was thus
yell qualified to deal with his subject, "Oriental Splendour." He was introduced to the gathering by his brother, Sir Frank Gavan Duffy, who is president of the club. " When people talk of the lure of the Orient they are usually thinking that in the East one may have three times as many servants for the same price as in the West—and better ones at that," said Father Gavan Duffy, and went on to describe a visit he once paid to the palaces of a certain Rajah, who introduced his guests to all kinds of splendours, in striking contrast to which, however, was the almost monastic appearance of the Hindu audience hall. "Oriental splendour," said the lecturer, "does not reside in Hindu thought. Indeed, Hinduism was not built into a system until it was felt that something was needed to offset Christianity. Religion in India is nothing much more than animism, manifesting itself in superstitions and pagan customs and feeding upon folklore. The Indian is always 'on the move,' and in villages in the Madras Residency a quarter of a million pilgrims gather every
year for the annual festival." "In India, in spite of what one may hear to • the contrary," dedared Father Gavan Duffy, "there is no such thing as a national spirit. 'La caste c'est notre patrie,' said an Indian priest, and it is true that caste is looked upon as the most splendid thing in life. So strong is this feeling of caste that many years ago, even in the seminary, it was never the custom to allow European superiors to eat in the same room as the native students." A good deal of this prejudice has been overcome, and last year Father Gavan Duffy for the first time sent two "outcast" students to the seminary. Language presents an extremely difficult problem, as more than a hundred languages exist, each comprising several dialects, so that it is no easy matter to acquire a good average standard of speech. "The splendour of the Orient does not reside in the people, who live in abject poverty." said Father Gavan Duffy. "Yet, in spite of their misery and of their sad cast of countenance, they are not less happy than others. India is frightfully over-populated, and as the law of the country pro-
vides that the land be subdivided equally between the male children, it is natural that after two or three generations the holdings become very small. Most children come to school without food, and have to be content with one meal a day for half the year. Such conditiong in a climate like that of India do not tend to improve the standard of intelligence amongst the people. Add to this the prevalence of many diseases, particularly leprosy, which is beyond control in Southern India, and it will be seen that the splendour of the Orient is somewhat fictitious."
Missions in India. Father Gavan Duffy concluded his address by referring to missionary work in India, outlining the system followed in the schools and pointing out the need for lay auxiliaries as the only way of spreading religion; as proved by the fact that cathecists have always been numerous in all successful missions, and in Father Gavan Duffy's opinion full success would be - possible only if this system were reverted to. Father DufTy passed through Fremantle last week on his return to India.
Lord On Saturday night last Lord Sempill gave a farewell message to Australia, broadcasting from national station 6WF. His address was relayed to all national s tations. He said that since his landing wheels had touched Australian soil first ., at Bathurst Island—still filled with English and Scottish air—he had flown 15,000 miles in the States and T erritories of the Commonwealth including Tasmania. Papua and New Guinea.
and said that the present was the time to reap the reward of those early endeavours. Air transport provided the one means of overcoming the vast distances in the Commonwealth. he said, and it w as the duty of the Governments o f Australia in the best interests of its people to make possible a rapid expansion of air transport immediately. Aviation companies aero clubs and commercial operators deserved much greater assistance from the Governments than they were now receiving. It would be of definite advantage to trade and the nation's business position generally to adopt a bold policy of progress in fostering all a viation enterprises.
In his capacity of chairman of the London Chamber of Corn' fierce, he had met and discussed aviation and Empire trade reciprocity with Federal and State parliamenta leaders in rians, and business all the States. He sin c erely hoped tha:t these discussions had w ay for somewhat cleared the better trade understanding and an increase in the volume of reciprocal business which w ould be beneficial to both sides. But the Sempill main point which Lord said that he wanted to make in his farewell message to A ustralians was in regard to the future of civil aviation. He paid a fine tribute to the great work of the pioneers of this industrY.
Lord Semphill delivering a farewell broadcast message to Australia His Lordship paid a courtesy call on His on Saturday night last. Grace the Archbishop at Victoria Square during the week, and was very interested in all spheres of Catholic activity in the West, and particularly in the Tardun scheme of land settlement. He attended the 7 o'clock Mass at St. Mary's on Sunday morning and was later shown over the new Cathedral by His Grace the Archbishop.

Lord Sempill said he had great hopes of the future of the Australian nation. He had seen hundreds of its outback people in his c omprehensive tour of the country, and he considered that their w onderful spirit of fearless courage in the face of all adversities t ypified a nation of which the Empire was proud. lie concluded by saying that he hoped in the very near future to return to Aus tralia and renew his many newfound friendships among its people.

Why the Kookaburra Laughs HAVE A LAUGH WITH HIM
Magistrate: "What on earth has that plumber returned to the dock for?" Clerk: "He's forgotten his sentence, girl" • Antique Dealer (to American) . "Now, sir, if you'll step this way, I've a very fine specimen of a Queen Anne sideboard I would like to show you." American: "Say that queen of yours must have had a big dining-room. That'll be the eighth sideboard of hers I've been shown this week." Uncle Hector came to stay and be fore he left he gave his nephew a pound note. "Now, be careful with that money, Charlie." he said. "Remember the old adage, 'A fool and his money are soon parted.'" Young Charlie nodded. "Yes, Uncle," he replied; "but I want to thank you for parting with it just the same." The animal trainer, having been taken ill, his wife reported for duty in his stead. "Have you had any experience in this line?" asked the proprietor of the circus, doubtfully. "Not exactly in this line," replied the woman; "but my husband manages the beasts all right, doesn't he?" "He certainly does." "Well, you ought to see how easily I manage him." It was the hottest day 44 the year, and the advocate of. men's dress reform was becoming eloquent. Suddenly he noticed that all the men present were wearing stiff collars, except a fat, redfaced man at the back. He complimented him upon his wisdom in wear . ing a soft, loose-fitting collar, and in vited him to address the audience. The stout one's address was brief but en. lightening. "Fellers," he bawled, "I can only say as 'ow this 'ere collar was .a stiff 'un when I started out this morning." * "Am dere anybody in the congrega• tion what wishes prayer for dere fail in's?" asked the Negro minister. "Yussah," responded Bcother Jone:k. "Ah's a spen'thrif, an' Ah throws mah money round reckless like." "Ve'y- well. We will join in prayet fo' Brother Jones—jes' after de collet— tion plate have been passed." Bangham: "He called me a drivel ling idiot." Mrs. Bingham: "Well, don't drivel." • "Cats arc very sensitive animals." "I suppose that is why they are always taking a fence!" Mr. Wyborn: "Ever since married you I've drunk the cup of bitterness to the dregs." Mrs. Wyborn: "Yes. imagine you leaving a drain of anything in any cup!" Rich Uncle (a New Year visitor): "And remember, dear, when I die all that I have goes to you." Niece: "Thank you, uncle. Do let me give you another mince-pie!" "Why did you leave your last place?" "Well, mum, the master and missus was always quarrelling." "What, alwaYs?" "Yes'm. When it wasn't me an' her, it was me and 'im !" • • Lodger: "Mv brother is corning on a visit. Have you a couple of spare beds?" Landlady: "A couple? Is he so big as all that?" Lodger: "No, but the fact is that he really consists of two half-bro thers." "And so your engagement to Doc tor Lemon is broken off?" "Yes, his writing is so illegible! And when T had a frightful headache he sent me a note with ten thousand kisses. which T thought was a preset-in
tion, and went to the chemist's to have it dispensed!" . * "You have a pretty place here, John," remarked a guest who had been invited to see his friend's new country house: "but it looks a bit bare yet." "Oh, that's because the trees are so young!" answered the host, pleasantly. "I hope they'll have grown to a good size before you com,e again!" Two men who were dining at a table d'hote, ordered a bottle of Burgundy, which was brought in a wicker-basket. "Why is this wine served in a cradle, do you know?" said one of the diners The other took a sip of Burgundy, shuddered slightly, and answered, "13e cause it is so young!" "I declare I believe the present generation of men are losing all chivalry and sentiment!" exclaimed a maiden of forty summers at a New Year party. "Why do you say that, Miss Gaunt?" asked a fresh society bud. "Because I've been standing under the mistletoe for the last half -hour and not a single man came near me." "With all due deference, my boy, 1 really think our English custom at the telephone is better than saying 'Hello,' as you do." "What do you say in England?" "We say,'Are you there?' Then, of course, if you are not there, there is no use in going on with the conversation." Burglar: "Halt! If You move you are a dead man." Professor (absent -mindedly) : "My man, you should be more careful of your English. If I should move it would be a positive sign that I was alive." Dear Old Soul : "I want a second return, please." Booking Office Clerk: "Where madam?" Dear Old Soul: "Why, back here, of course "I grovel here in the dust at your feet," exclaimed the impassioned young suitor as he knelt on his knees in the parlour in order to press hie suit. "Dust! Dust! Do you mean to in suit me?" she gasped—"after I spent the whole afternoon cleaning this room up?" The 'bus conductor had not ob served that one of his passengers had given him a threepenny piece with a hole in it until he had finished collecting the fares. Then he returned to the culprit. "Here, what's this?" he asked. thrusting the ocending coin before the man. "What's that?" replied the passen ger, calmly. "This threepenny bit's got a hole in it." "Well, what of it?" returned the oth&-, "so has this ticket you gave me!" A crowd had collected on the beach. A sealed bottle was bobbing shoreward, and visions of some romantic message, perhaps from a castaway on a desert island, filled their minds. At last the bottle was cast up on the sand, and eager hands broke the seal, extracted the cord, and drew out the single sheet of paper. It read: "Please send this bottle to my brother, Jock McCraw, Dochen Street, Glasgow, and tell him to take it to 'The Blue Pig.' There's tuppence on it." She was one of those _nagging wives, but was aware of her fault. One day she attended a lecture on "A Smiling Face Wins Through." The lecture impressed her so much that she decided to try an experiment. Consequently, when her htiZand came down to breakfast next morning he was met by a beaming smile. For a moment he stood dumb- founded; then he collapsed into a chair. "Gracious," he said. weakly, "she's got lockjaw!"

IRELAND. Right Rev. Mgr. Harte, P.P., of V.G., Dean of the Diocese golden the celebrated lphin, E Frijubilee of his ordination last InnoHoly the of feast the day, The jubilee Mass of cents. was celebrated in hanksgiving t Church, Castlerea, Patrick's St. where the Dean has been parish priest for the past 28 years. By his own desire there was no public demonstration, and the jubilee gift took the form of a spiritual off ering of novenas, Masses and prayers. The Dean received messages of congratulations from the Most Rev. Dr. Doorly, Bishop of Elphin; from the clergy of the diocese, and also from. all the convents, the Children of Mary, and the parishioners. Many priests who studied under him in Summerhill College, Sligo, of which he was president for many years, associated themselves in a special w ay with the golden jubilee celebrations. • In five years the people of Ossory have subsciibed £28,000 for the renovation of St. Mary's Cathedral, Kilkenny. The work on the Cathedral was commenced early in 1930 and was completed in 1931. The first collection was taken up in December, 1929, and so well did the collections -progress that all but £4.500 had been subscribed up to the present year. Last year's collection realised £3,500, so that to wipe out the total debt of £28,000 it was necessary to subscribe £1,000 more this year than last year. A s trong appeal was made by the Bishop of Ossory, Most. Rev. Dr. Collier, and the extent to which that appeal was responded to was r evealed in a letter from his Lordship, which was read in all the churches of the diocese. He s tates that though all the returns are not vet to hand, he is in a position to state that the debt will be completely wiped out The Bishop pays a warm tribute to the dioceses for this truly magnificent effort for God and f or the Church. • Much sympathy is felt in Belfast with Fathers James and Gerald Reynolds, C.S.S.R., for t he loss they have suffered in the death of their mother, Mrs. Honora Reynolds, of Mungret. County Limerick. Both these Redemptorists are distinguished in the Northern Capitol as direc-
tors of the great Holy Family Confraternity for men and women attached to the Church of the Most Holy Redeemer, Clonard. ENGLAND. The d" ecay of reverence in the modern mind and lack of honour in public policy and actions were deplored Father Rockliff, S.J., Superior of Loyola Hall,' Rainhill, in a sermon he preached at St. Patrick's Church, Widnes, in the presence of the Mayor, members of the Council and a crowded congregation. The decay of r everence, he said, is sadly conspicuous among young people and is the result of non-religious education. How far, he asked, does honour now enter int. ern life and modern policy? Is not the first question: Will this policy pay? not: Is it right? Hoy.' much of policy is nothing but expediency—anything to get out of an imtpediate difficulty, he the cost what it may, honourable or disgraceful. There are many exceptions to this indictment, said Father Rockliff, but their voices do not prevail.

"If dealing with Russia brings immediate profit—because Russia sells _phenomenally cheap— then, it is said, let us deal with Russia." continued Father Rockliff. If Russia floods us with vulgar blasphemy, we must not offend Russia by protesting—we might suffer. Rather we must how and scrape to Russia and admit her to the League of Nations. There was a time when these things would have stung Europe into an honourable crusade, scorning the cost, so long as our name remained unsullied. But those times are gone. Finance has eaten too deeply into the councils of men and nations. Those of us who have the honour of our country at heart can only lie awake at night and bear the shame of it all." President de Valera sent the following telegram to his Lordship, the Rt. Rev. Bishop Butt, Vicar Capitular of the Archdiocese of Westminster: "I wish to express to your Lordship and through you to the priests of the Archdiocese of Westminster my sincere sympathy on the death of his Eminence Cardinal Bourne. Eamon de Valera."

AMERICA. The magnificent Cathedral of St. Louis, Missouri, was thronged when the Most Rev. John J Glennon, Archbishop of St. Louis, was the celebrant of solemn Pontifical High Mass, the closing event of a week's observance of the fiftieth anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood. The Apostolic Delegate to the United States, the Most Rev. Amleto Giovanni Cicognani, and many members of the Hierarchywere in the Sanctuary. Two Abbots, an Apostolic Administrator and Monsignori from more than a score of dioceses also were present. The Jubilarian is one of the most notable members of the American Heirarchy and one of the foremost preachers of the Church in America. The Most Rev. John T. Nicholas, 0.P., Archbishop of Cincinnati, styled him "the Abbot of Christ." The jubilee ceremonies opened with a great civic celebration in the Arena when several notable addresses were given by prominent citizens of St. Louis. The felicitations of the State of Missouri were presented by Governor Guy B. Park. More than 14,000 persons were present at the civic celebrations. MEXICO. The new President of Mexico, Senor Cardenas, in keeping with a promise made in his inaugural address, ordered all telegraph offices in the Republic to receive messages of not more than 20 words addressed to him, without charge, daily between noon and 1 p.m. These messages are to contain public complaints or recommendations. In discussing "the need for an intimate union between the Government and the people" on the day of his inauguration, President Cardenas said: "At this time I wish to state that, in order to preserve contact with the citizens, the tie of union and the strength of opinion which will lead the country along a path of progress and tranquility, I
"Ignorance—the Root of Littleness." "I want a laity, not 'arrogant, not rash in speech, not disputatious, but men who know their religion, who enter it, who know just where they stand, who know what the) hold, and what they do not; who know their creed so well that they can give an account of it; who know so much of history that they can defend it. "I want an intelligent, well-instructed laity. . . . I wish you to enlarge your knowledge, to cultivate your reason, to get an insight into the relation of truth to truth, to learn to view things as they are, to understand how Faith arid Reason stand to each other, what are the bases and principles of Catholicism. . . .

shall establish a fixed hour daily during which, by means of radio or telegraph direct to the presidential offices, citizens or groups of citizens can inform me of their complaints, their needs and their struggles, so that I may be able to contribute to their aid and thus share with them their situation." Mexican Catholics are awaiting the outcome of this seemingly broadminded decision with interest. So many apparently broadminded statements have been made by Mexican rulers and have proved just political hypocrisy during the last few years that one wonders how much sincerity is behind this latter one. Cardenas has now the opportunity of showing himself the friend of his nation and people. Will he do so? Can he do so in face of the cordon of masquerading "patriots" who are immensely alive to their own selfish interests. Will Calles, the big sugar millionaire, landocrat and powerful director of Mexican politics, allow him to be politically just and moral? Is Cardenas brave enough and strong enough to answer for himself this question? YOUR STOVE REPAIRED AS NEW W ESTERN STOVE CO.. 256 WELLING'vON STREET ( Opp. Perth Hospital). Ring B6307.

The Holy Father's Moving Appeal for World Peace A stirring appeal for world peace was made by the Holy Father in his Christmas Eve Audience with representatives of the College of Cardinals and the Members, Spiritual and Secular, of the Curia. In response to the good wishes of the Sacred College, which were proffered by Cardinal Granito Pignatelli di Belmonte. Dean of the College, the Holy Father pronounced an important allocution, in the course of which he recalled the great events, joyful and sad, which have marked the year just passed. "Never," said His Holiness, has tns Christmas canticle had more reason to be loudly proclaimed: 'Peace on earth to men of goodwill.'" He spoke of the senseless exaltation of nationalism and racialism, of the rumours of war and the talk of armaments, and closed with his earnest prayer and, blessing for the cause of peace Buenos Aires and Melbourne. At the beginning of his address the Pope expressed his gratication at having extended the grace of the Jubilee to the whole world, thereby assuring the diffusion and progress of the Redemption at a time when forces hostile to Christian civilisation were un leashed, such as the new paganism in moral, social and State affairs. Happily. the International Euchalistic Congress at Buenos Aires had brightened this miserable world with a true reflection of Heaven—Beata Pads Visio. Jesus in the Sacred Host had seen ascending towards Him the great est honours He had ever received on earth. The Congress at Melbourne was a recent echo of the incomparable Congress in the Argentine. How great were the congratulations and thanks due to those instruments of Catholic Action who prepared and accomplished such great reparatory triumphs of the Eucharist! The Holy Father next emphasised the importance of the International Juridical Congress in Rome, which had recalled opportunely that the Church had given to the world a Christian law
POISONS
THROUGH THE SKIN
"In this age of senseless exaltation of nationalism and racialism," said His Holiness, "it is good to remember, to quate the words of Cicero, "that it is not law that makes justice; it is justice that makes the law.' A World Tormented. The Pope commented with satisfac tion on the restoration of the Sanctuary of Loreto to the Holy See, regarding it as "a smile from Mary at the threshold of the New Year." More than ever the protection of the Mother of Mercy was necessary in a world so tormented by the general crisis, causing so many troubles, private and public. "The very rumours of war which are. circulated, or at least the talk of armaments, are spreading confusion amongst the nations," said His Holiness. "Never has the Christmas canticle had more reason to be loudly proclaimed: 'Peace on Earth to Men of Goodwill.' "Some would quote the ancient adage. 'If you would have peace prepare for war,' seeing in preparedness for war a guarantee of peace. We would like to believe this, for the contrary would be certainly too horrible. "But if, through suicidal or homi. cidal mania, there are people who prefer war to peace. We can only repeat the imprecation of the Royal prophet: `Dissipa Gentes Quae Bella Volunt.' "For Our part We pray for peace, We bless it, We ardently wish for it, and Our hopes max' be summarised in these holy words: 'Peace! Peace! Peace!'"

ATURE'S best way of banishing sickness is to remove the poisons by elimination. A naturally healthy individual has a constant imperceptible moisture
exuding from the pores of the skin. In extreme cases this exudation develops into excessive perspiration. One of the many functions of `ASPRO' is to promote skin action and poison elimination through the skin, freeing you of the causes of numerous pains and illnesses. Medicines which suppress are harmful. Suppression does not get rid of the cause. `ASPRO 'eliminates, and by eliminating the poisons assists in getting rid of your complaints. CONDITIONS

Lord Sempill at New Norcia Guest of the Benedictine Community Further introductions and shak ing- of hands took place now. Hearty welcomes were showered on our distinguished visitor, and Lord Sempill. in turn, lost no time to express his joy at being at New Norcia and thus seeing r ealised an old dream which he had several months ago when at Buckfast Abbey, England, he set his eyes for the first time on a c ollection of pictures of New Norcia. He had wished on that day to see this picturesque spot and witness the work done by the Monks in the Westralian bush. He had wondered if he would ever have an opportunity to satisfy his wishes in this direction. This day his wish was having a happy realisation. He was bringing to the Monks, he said, heartiest greetings and best wishes from the Community of Lord Sempill. Buckfast at whose Abbey Lord Sempill is an honoured and welcome guest.

These were followed as usual by Rosary and Benediction, but it was all to short for him. A hurried visit to his beloved machine after Benediction satisfied him that it was being well looked after by the monks and the Mission's employees. With these reassuring thoughts he took a night's true rest—the soundest he had had for many a night. He was not surprised to hear the monastery bell calling the Monks to pray at 3.50 a.m. He has often heard a similar hell ringing about the same time at Buckfast. Later in the morning at 7.45 he heard Mass with the Monks. An inspection of the Monastery's various apartments and words of admiration and praise for same was Lord Sempill's last act whereby he showed the Benedictine Community the unfeigned interest with which he had looked forward to this visit and his actual appreciation of his good fortune at haying been able to visit our village Mission.

Lord Sempill next asked the Lord Abbot to bless his machine before tak ing off at New Norcia as Abbot Vonier had done at Buckfast. The Lord Abbot did as requested, the Monks responding with a heartfelt Amen. Then came reciprocal words of thanks and farewell, Lord Sempill shaking hands with every member of the Community. Three hearty cheers followed, which he feelingly acknowledged. A few minutes more and Lord Sempill was once more in the air.

PERTH. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1935.
The Church in Portugal The ideals of the French Revolution and of the Encyclopa edists had their culmination in the revolutionary torrent that swep t across Europe in the year 1848 The deluge had been threatenin g .for many years and it was only the stern, repressive measures of the reactionaries personified in Metternich that had so long held it in check. Portugal, however, had passed through the throes of the Napoleonic campaign and by the Treaty of Fontainebleau had been divided between France and Spain. At the close of the Peninsular -War, the country already reduced to a miserable plight by the long Nyar and external troubles, was further convulsed by the internal feuds of Liberals and Conservatives. After a long civil war, the Liberals emerged victorious and immediately initiated a period of persecution and pillage against the Church. . As usual, the religious orders were first attacked. The congregations of men were suppressed and their property confiscated, while the orders of women were forbidden further professions and thus permitted to die out. The secular clergy and the Bishops were so hampered by political stringencies that they could do little to supply the loss of the orders and so the people, bereft of their spirit ual leaders, began gradually to lose their knowledge of religious truth . These deplorable conditions continued down to 1886 when Portu gal signed a Concordat with the Vatican which alleviated some more serious grievances. Ten years later Ribiero's decre of the mitted the return of the religious orders under certain restres perictions, and it seemed that a brighter era had dawned for the Chur ch in Portugal.
But the new spirit of Liberalism had now impre gnated every country of Europe and the measures of repre ssion had served only to fan it to white heat and, in fact, made it the more dangerous by driving it underground, whence it issued in the insid secret societies such as the Carbonari in Italy. Euro ious form of pe seethed with unrest, and in Portugal the storm broke in 1910 when the Radical Revolution by means of assassination and terro risation broke down the Braganza dynasty and set up a republican form of Government. The first President. Braga, undertook to carry out a radical programme which involved the violent expu lsion of the religious orders, the annexation of their property by the State. and the separation of the Church and State. Prior to the Republic, Catholicism had been the official State religion. The future activities of the Church in Portugal were effectively paralysed by an impossible series of penal laws promulgated in the two years following the Revolution. The Revolution of 1910 was followed by no fewer than seven revolutions, hut there was little alleviation of ti e Church's intolerable burden. The vigorous anti-clerica l policy of the Portuguese Government aroused the attention of the world. •
The Hierarchy stood firm and refused to acce pt the act, at the same time declining the small stipend allow separation ed to by so unjust a Government. Just prior to the World Warpriests many priests were imprisoned as political offenders and the Patriarch of Lisbon t,)gether with two Archbishops and six The severance of diplomatic relations withBishops were arreste the Holy See f ollowed, but anti-clericalism had outrun itself, and there was a world protest. The Assembly was compelled in 1914 to the A mnesty Bill by which the leaders against the Governmepass nt were e xpelled and amnesty and free trial was granted to political prisoners. In 1916 Portugal declared war against Germany and joined the Allies on the Western Front, but the tragic country was torn in 1-%A ain the following year by another Revolution in 1917 and yet another in the October of 1921. The astonishing feature of the cruc hurc ifixio h's n in Portugal is the fact that her executioners C are a tiny coterie of bitter bigots imposing their depraved will upon an entirely Catholic people, the number of Protestants being a little over five thousand, and these mostly foreign, while the Jews number only five hundred. The balance of the population is Catholic.

Recent cables indicate that normality and justice may agair ! take their place in the national life of Portugal. The gross and monstrous treatment of the Church in the past is recognised, a deputy of the Assembly declaring that the Republican cons titution had treated the Church "like a dog," and that God must be reestablished in the family, the school, and the constitution to save the country from ruin. Catholics will watch with interest this salutary attempt to re-introduce Catholicism ino the national of Portugal. Realising as did Mussolini and Hitler—and the life Holy See long before either—that a country has no foe more insid than the secret societies which have played a tremendous ious and inglorious part in the last century of European history, Senor Cabral has introduced a Bill into the National Assembly "to destr oy for all time the menace of Freemasonry." Divorce also is to go by the board, having no place in a Christian society. On the posit side, religion is being introduced into all schools—a dama ive eflection on the inadequacy of secular education to cope with ging a national crisis. This large-scale drive against illiteracy is such haps the most important measure of all. With the expulsionperof the religious orders, the educators of the people. the nation sank into the stagnation of ignorance and it was upon an illiterate and helpless majority that a 'few unscrupulous anarchists wrought their will. With the return of Catholicism and education, Portugal will go far, for the Church has no better ally than learning.
Among the rationalists of the Victorian era, there was a which many accepted for a demonstrated fact, that Faith notion was a groping in the dark, the unreasonable admission of something without evidence. What remains of that attitude is still called "rationalism," though its modern exponents take even examine the theses they attack and content themselve less care to s with airy vagaries and nebulous generalities. The mode rn rationalist must needs bray less blatantly than his grandfather lay Catholic apologists has startled him into for the rise of the the realisation that the Church has not only a cogent logical fram ewor k for Her doctrines but that She is the Champion of Reas on par excellence.
Faith, in the theologica: sensc„ holds revealed. In this it is of the same natuas true whatever God has re as human faith, only sublimated by a higher motive. Hum an faith is as widespread as the human race. Credence is quite reaso tions of trustworthy witnesses. Indee nably given to the asserd, nine-tenths of our knowledge rest on our faith in data provided by our ancestors or on contemporary "authorities." Had each man in each generation to set about proving for himself the fundamental truths of any par ticular branch of learning, progress would be made impossible. If one admits nothing with tit intrin sic evidence, one repudiates all human faith, which voulc be obviously absurd. If. then, human knowledge is to be acquired by the fellow -men, how much more sane exercise of faith towards one' ly is religious truth to be admitted which rest on the authority of God's own revelation. "Reason and faith have no ;Pius IX., "for each of . them cause to fear each other.- declared is immutable source of truTh. God. derived from the same sole and " Not only is there no discrepancy b etween faith and reason, but Right reason demonstraies the they mutually assis4 one another. by the light of faith, it developsfoundations of faith, and enlightened Theology.

The peace of Ettope hangs, it would seem, on a very flimsy thread. A present tigly distu rbanc e in the north-east corner of Africa has arisen befween the most delicate diliomacyAbyssinia and Italy which will require on the part of the League. The seeds of this dispute weresown in the last two decades of the last century when the natiois stam peded in the "grab for Africa."

I. From his earliest childhood " Boris Tcherno was able to draw—it was instinctive with him. Even as a tiny boy his wondering eyes watched the flowers growing, and the first picture he drew was a daisy—both asleep and He clutched in vain at the awake. vividly- hued butterflies as they fluttered among the summer blossoms, and these also he drew on his little He loved the birds too, and slate. called to them to stop as they winged their airy flight across the wide heavens. Boris Tcherno's first acquaintance with the stern realities of life was due to the behaviour of a large bumblebee which ungrateully stung the baby hand that tried to caress the busy worker. Still less could he understand a fortnight's seclusion in a dark room —the result of trying to paint the sun at mid-day. Boris's great passion, however, was to steal away unobserved into the dark woods surrounding the small Polish The town where his parents lived. great forest trees grew so closely together that Boris could hardly force_ his small person between them; for paths there were none, although here and there he found an . open space where he lay on his back 'and watched the magic clouds building fairy castles in the blue sky above. His father vas an officer in one of the Polish infantry regiments, • so whenever his son disappeared into the forest gloom in quest of romance the soldiers were accustoMed to go in search of the runaway child, with all speed, as many dangers lurked unseen in the thick brushwood, and wolves were often heard howling to their mates in the silence of the night. Boris's mother was the only one who understood the nature of the boy The last time he was brought safely back to his parents after many hours of torturing anxiety, she laid a tremb. ling hand on the angry father's arm, and said: "Do not scold him, Nicolai; he is only a baby, and still lives with the fairies." But the stern soldier replied: "My dear Mary. we are poor people, and Boris must learn to walk upon the earth—the fairies will not give him his daily bread. You must train him to be a useful and practical man." When his father at last went to drill his soldiers little Boris crept to his mother's side, and showed her a picture he had drawn in the heart of the forest. It was a beautiful many-hued flower springing up amongst the ferns that spread like a carpet over the green glades. "The witches dance round it once a year on the night of St. John, mother A great treasure lies hidden under it, but one must pluck the wondrous flower to obtain it, and the witches cast a spell on anyone who tries. I wanted to draw it, not to destroy it, so the good fairies came and threw another spell over me. They said I should one day be a famous painter, but that I must go far away into the great world looking forever for my heart's desire. Some 'day I shall find it, the fairies also told me. Will you help me, mother?" She laid a protecting hand on the curly head. "Yes, dear .I will do all that a mother can do to help my little boy become a great artist; but it will not be an easy task for the. son of a poor Polish officer to carve a way to fame. We must ask our dear Lady of Consolation to help us." They both looked at the picture of the Madonna that had hung since babyhood over the boy's bed. Her face was so full of Divine understanding that Boris prayed: "Dear Blessed Mother, please make me able to paint You when I grow into a big man." And the Madonna, whose eves resembled deep springs, seemed -to smile a promise. Several
years
passed
and
Boris developed too unmistakably to be entirely- overlooked, as was the intention of his father. Captain Trherno desired his only sor to be trained for a military career, and he gave but a grudging consent when ati expected opportunity- allowed the boy ,to gain some technical training as a draughtsman. There were no art schools in the town situated in the heart of Poland: but perhaps the beautiful Madonna, who still watched (ever Boris as he slept, guided the footsteps of a politicel es iie to this same little Polish town• whe-e he arranged his home ancl dc. iced to remain indefinitely. This stranger
Tcherno's great artistic talents
was an artist of some repute, who, struck by the child's genius and help lessness, offered to train him in spite of Captain Tcherno's ceaseless opposiAfter several years' tuition he tion. decided to speak strongly to both parents regarding his protege's future. "Boris ought to be sent to the Academy in Cracow," he said. "My dear friend," answered the father, "how can I manage to send my He is only eighteen—and son there? a dreamer," he added, scornfully. "Besides, there is the question of money to be considered. I have only my pay, and you know how slow promotion is in an obscure Polish regiment. I have no influence to further either his career or my own.' "You will kill him if you force him to be a soldier," pleaded the artist. "It has not killed me," replied thv Captain, "and in real life one must grasp at the substance and not at the shadow. I think he will make a great mistake if he gives up the Army. ' But Boris's mother listened attentively and said nothing. That night, as her son lay with a sad heart in his modest bed, he heard her footsteps She entered approaching his door. the room silently and said gently to him: "Boris, I have a present to give you. See! I have saved some little treasures for you all those long years. Your father does not even know of ,their existence." She opened a shabby trinket-box and took out a few "They belonged to antique jewels. my dear mother," she continued; "take them, for they will pay for your studies at Cracow, and may the good God guide and keep you!" So Boris went out into the great world to paint Madonnas, carrying with him memories of a sacrificing mother's love and a great/teacher's These melted into devoted service. visions of great virgin forests, aly...)ve which shone the silver stars through the frozen air of a Polish winter's night.
vant if he struggles hard enough. Now begin Your work in our midst, my dear T-cherno, and be assured of our ever-ready help and guidance in achieeing your ideals." IV. A year passed quickly away. during which time the young painter made almost phenomenal advances in his art from a technical standpoint; but his work still carried the frigid stamp ot The Professor his egotistical nature. was not satisfied, and after conferring with his colleagues he sent for Boris to discuss his prospects. "The Academy has decided to send you to Rome to study at its own ex pense. I must, however, repeat the same warning I gave you when you Your work lacks first came to us. vital force and fire, and the dreamer's Perhaps the touch is over it all. warmth of the southern sun will melt the cold faces of your too-faultless portraits into glowing fire." "I can never find the right expression for their eyes," answered Boris despondently. "It seems a hopeless quest." "There are beautiful eyes in Italy," answered the Professor with a smile. "I advise you to go in search of them. Now, goodbye, and I expect you to re turn from Rome bringing a masterpiece with you for me to admire and praise. I think so highly of your powers that you must justify my faith in you." Boris shook his head silently and left for Italy. And the Professor's hopes were justified. Rome the beautiful took Boris unto herself. She cast her wonderful spell over his artist-soul, thawed the rigid Polish nature with her warmth and glamour. and stirred his pulses with the history of men who had lived and loved in those majestic ruins, every stone of which was eloquent with the deeds of a mighty race whose influence is still a living force amongst us. Finally she guided his footsteps into the little Church of Santa Maria. built on the ruins of Minerva's Temple; and there, in its dim ness and rich beauty, he at last stood face to face with the woman of his dreams—the Madonna face that would bring him fame. . . A charming yoong girl, accompanied hv an older lady, evidently her mother. was just leaving the Church as he entered; but he had a brief glimpse of the most glorious eyes he had ever seen. He stood still and stared at her in rapt amazement. The mother drew her daughter quickly to the door. observing in a voice she made no attempt to lower: "What a strange man to stare at you like that!" But the girl's eyes sparkled with amusement, for she had noted the young man's confusion, and she re plied lightly: "I do not think he in tended to be rude. mother. Perhaps he thought he knew us. What an artistic face he has He looks so young and boyish!" "Doubtless some poor painter," re plied the elder lady. "Rome abounds with them. Do hurry, Anna!" As their voices died away r oused himself and looked roundBoris the Church. The radiant vision had de parted, leaving the little Sanctuary to its old dimness. He pressed - his hands to his eves and went out into the sunshine.. HOW wonderful her face was in its radiant youth! It me bodied for him in every detail the type he had sought for so long. "Now I can begin my great picture," he whispered to himself with a surge of artistic inspiration and confidence he had never experienced before.
On his arrival at Cracow, worn out with the long and lonely journey, home- sick and stunned with the roar of the great city, Boris carried his letter of recommendation from hIs old master, together with some specimens of his work, to the Director of the Ora. cow Academy. This gentleman gave a keen glance at the paintings. took another long look at the appealing ar tistic face before him and said: "You have undoubted genius, my dear young man, but your old master is right in what he confides to me in He has taught you in this letter. the technique he can, but the soui is wanting to make your pictures live." Boris gazed at the famous Profes sor with eyes that still gleamed. "I fear that you speak the truth; but tell me how to find the spirit that will give my pictures life?" The Professor artwered him: "No artist can put more into his work than he himself feels. You are a visionary, a mystic, who has neither suffered"— here he paused and laid his hand on the boy's arm—"nor loved." Agaain he waited. Boris's eyes mei, his frankly. "I have loved my deal mother and the pictures of th, Messed Virgin," he answered simply The Professor tried to hide a kindl, smile as he replied: "We must hope the right experience will be found in Cracow. After you have, studied here, we will send y'ou later to Italy for forther inspiration. But you must begin now, at once, to look round at life from a more human standpoint. Take a sympathetic interest in your fellow -mortals around you—try to learn the drama of their existence. V.

My Dear • Five,--February is one of the most popular months in the Corner for birthdays even though there are fewer days in it, and we all wish the five of you Many Happy Returns, and trust that you will enjoy each of the coming anniversaries with a real sincere spirit of gratitude to God for His gift to you of Life. Once upon a time when it wasn't my birthday at all a Holy Father said to me, "I wonder do you ever thank God rot making you C.atfierine Miriam Veronica Brian Boru instead of a hippopotamus?" Well, he could have kept on wondering had he not put the question to me • for even though I'm supposed to have a fairly good imagiao tion it never struck me to consider what I would have felt like had God made me a thick -skinned river - horse instead of the sensitive racehorse that I am. but ever since the question was put I never think about myself but I see a horrid, cumbersome looking animal alongside me—the hippopotamus that might have been me, and so I never find it hard to thank God very fervently for letting me be born into the higher plane where you and I have the honour to be numbered. And so. Winnie, who will be. what will you be on the 19th—the Book does not Patricia. who will be 12 on the say? 20th. Kevin who will be 11 on the 21st.

The fighting organ of the Hitler youth, "Der Ostdeutsche Sturmtrupp," which caused great resentment some time ago by its attacks or_i the Church and on Cardinal Faulhaber has, according to the "Deutsche," stopped publication. A monthly magazine, "Nordland," which was rtgularly banned by the Nazi authorities because of its too violent attacks on Christianity, has now been prohibited. Its joint weekly, "Der Brunnen," by the same publishing firm, was banned again by Nazi press censor, because of its anti-Christian attacks.
-tution of the title marshal for that of muchir, and general or admiral for that of pasha. It is also proposed to prohibit the c arrying or wearing of the insignia of any society, club, or association, political or otherwise. The Rev. John C. Murrett, M. M., of Buffalo, N. Y., pastor of the Maryknoll Japanese parish in Dairen, the large port city of the Orient, has been nominatt ed by the Japanese authorities as professor of English in a Japanese school of Dairen. More than 700 Japanese scholars attend Father Murrett's English classes. •
Countess Harriet Taylor della Gherardesea, the daughter of a New York banker, has bequeathed to the Holy Father a GrecoRoman Statue of Augustus and another smaller statue. .Both these statues are reckoned 2,000 years old. The National CriLne Conference, meeting at Washington, says St. Paul "Catholic Bulletin," lifted crime out of the category of law enforcement problems and gave it the aspect of a social problem of the first magnitude by tracing its origins back to the early years of childhood. In one of its resolutions it declared : "The conference recognises that criminal careers usually originate in the early years of neglected childhood and that the most fundamental and hopeful measures of crime prevention are those directed towards discovering the underlying factors in the delinquency of children and strengthening and co-ordinating the resources of the home, the school and the community for child training and child guidance. It commends the progress made in certain States and localities in drawing together through such agencies as co-ordinating councils all available local forces to combat unwholesome influences upon youth." This may be said to be a frank recognition of the validity of the principle underlying the parochial school system --the principle that moral or religious training should go hand in hand with secular training. It also may be said to be an equally frank recognition of the responsibilities of parenthood in seeing to it that children receive this moral training in the home and school. The proposed law in Tufrkey which would prohibit the wearing of any religious garb except within churches, temples and mosque, or at funeral ceremonies, is causing widespread consternation here as it will effect r eligious, both men and women, as well as priests. All would have to wear civil garb when appearing in public. As reported by the T stanbul press, in addition to this prohibition, the Parliament will consider abolition of appellations creating distinctions between social classes; the suppression of civil titles and the wearing of national or foreign decorations. excepting the medal of the War
of Independence; and the substl-

About 8,000 people attended the men's meeting held in Quebec at the Military Riding School as a protest against the blasphemies of the godless and religious per-
secution in Mexico. The demonstration was organised by the Rev. Lelievre and attended by His Eminence Rodrigue Cardinal Villeneuvre, Archbishop of Quebec, Monsignor Camille Roy, rector of the University of Quebec, Mayor Gregoire, and many other distinguished persons. Mayor Gregoire delivered the opening address and the Cardinal the closing one. The principal speak ker of the evening was Father Lelievre. Catholics of Czechoslovakia are making extensive preparations for the National Catholic Congress to be held in this city, June 28-30. The motto for the congress will be "To Renew Everything in Christ." The programme includes conferences and addresses by representatives of individual

Above is a photograph of the Reliquary which has just been exe• cuted at Levinson's to contain the precious Relic of the Little Flower, whose Shrine is just now being completed, in St. Mary's Cathedral. The reliquary, which is in the shape of a Monstrance, is a veritable work of art. It is set with precious stones, made to harmonise in colour, size and shape with the surrounding metal work. In the Cross which surmounts the Reliquary is set a blue sapphire encircled by diamonds. Surrounding this circle are four West Australian pearls, while the base of the Cross is a large oval shaped ruby. These precious stones, as well as all those used in the adornment of the Reliquary, are the gifth of clients of the Little Flower. The most ornamental portion of the Reliquary is, of central enclosure which encases the Precious Relic. It is acourse, the shaped case, ornamented with precious jewels, including golden pyx opals, white sapphires, moonstones, amethysts and crystals. two large sapphires and Australian rubies adorn the fluted radiating Dark blue zones which surround the Relic enclosure, while the shaft and base supporting this are set with gracefully: executed Mother of Pearl carvings. The Reliquary is still on show at Levinson's, and will not in position until the Shrine is officially opened and blessedbe placed by His Grace the Archbishop on Match 10th
C zechoslovak Catholics are to have a chapel in Jerusalem. The C zechoslovak association for the promotion of pilgrimages to the Holy Land, the Palestine Association at Brno. has bought, through the medium of its new .:ister association at Jerusalem, a house with adjacent land oil the Mount of Olives. The house is r eported to command a beautiful view of the city of Jerusalem and will be converted into a small m onastery with chapel, whqe, c lose by the -Garden of Gethsemane, the scene of Christ's agony.
