There is, at the confluence of Haystreet and Victoria Avenue, on a northerly a spect, a particularly lovely panorama of sky, spire and tree, which never fails in impressing me with its atmosphere of s eclusion, and peace, and infinite simplicity; with that precious and dignified repose we are come to regard as "Sanctuary."

THE RECORD.
Was St. Patrick Independent of Rome? His Attitude to Roman Discipline and Roman Doctrine In the article which follows, Mr. A odp de Blacam replies to a recent sermon by Dean Kerr, of Belfast, the Protestant divine, who claims that St. Patrick was independent of Rome. The recent sermon by Dean Kerr, of in which this venerable Proelfast, B testant controversialist went over the old ground of St. Patrick's supposed independence of Rome, contained a passage that warmed Irish hearts. The Dean pleaded for the friendly discussion of those things on which Irishmen are divided, with a view to arrive at agreement by consent.
argument that Dean Kerr, or other writers, put forward on that side; but we remember that the men of the time itself did not hold the Dean's view. The holiest, wisest and most learned men worked for the unified Roman discipline, there and then, at the time, and considered that religion was the better for it. Anyone who held contrary views did the worst thing for his views then, or does it now, if he threw over Catholic unity and argued from the outside for local custom.
hundreds of years before that was materially possible. Mistakes, thus, can be made on both sides, while the radical truth, viz. that St. Patrick was an orthodox Churchman of his time, and that orthodoxy then as now recognised the spiritual supremacy. of. Peter's See, stands unaffected. Moreover, as Dr. O'Dolierty goes on to argue, even if Protestants should prove that St. Patrick held their doc trines, that would not solve our difficult), of to-day; it would but push it farther back. If we Catholics, united with Rome, are right, the Protestants are not right; and if there was a Protestant extant in the fifth century, he was not right. either.

It is Roman discipline in Ireland some "Romanising" movement. It did not happen in these islands alone. The holy men of Ireland and Britain who contested the use of the Roman tonsure. and contended, sometimes vehemently, for the keeping of Easter at a date traditional among the Celts, were s triving (as human nature will strive. even against reason) for a local custom. a local tradition, a local series of r egulations. In the end, they gave and Roman Canon Law prevailed in these islands. Now, the same thing happened in France and Spain.

However. they do no, t, argue that the recalcitrant 00e. were Protestants.

called `tne sacrificial mystery,' the solmenities of Masses,' 'the pure mysteries of the sacred offering,' the sacred mysteries of the Euchariat.' If their doctrine (the doctrne of the 'Reformers') was true, Columba, every time he went Up to the altar to celebrate 'the pure mysteries of the sacred offering,' committed the heinous sins of blasphemy and idolatry. If the Reformers were preachers of the pure Gospel, Columba . . . . had he been living under the regime of John Knox, would have found himself liable to be put to death as a Mass-priest." This is quoted from "The Celtic Church and the See of Peter," by Rev. J. Campbell MacNaught, D.D. (Oxford: Blackwell, 1927)—a book of clinching argument. What Dr. MacNaught found in history is there, plain for all who do not look into history with eyes shut to recognition of the Catholic life. How do persons like Dean Kerr, himself a scholar who has studied deeply in Irish history—how do they fail to see what is so obvious to us, and was clear to Dr. MacNaught? How can they fail to recognise, in ancient Ireland, something that is re produced among us "Romanists" today, or not at all? The answer lies in the peculiar sub jectivity of Protestantism. Ever since the destructive assaults of 19th century scepticism. our Protestant friends, unable to fall back on authority, lace us. have trusted to idealism, intuition, and other subjective evidences. We must respect their brave effort to hold to what their fathers believed, though their fathers' grounds for it have been surrendered: their almost plaintive clinging to that part which they possess of Catholic belief. God forbid that we should shake their hold of that much, by any uncharitable shafts of controversy. Let us examine their prejudice tenderly. They remember the kindly old clergymen who taught them to pray, the dignified religious services and beautiful hymns, the whole cycle of their early spiritual life. They look at our crowded churches, where rich and poor and wise and ignorant mix, and this is strange to them. What the) seek is old associations, and they do not recognise them in our life, as they see it from the outside. Then they look into the past, and th4y seek in it the image of themselves. If they visualise St. Columbanus, they think that he must have been just like their own dear clergy. Persuaded that we have different associations from theirs, they think that we cannot understand their interior life, and that something existed in olden Ireland that we simply cannot see. They fail to recognise the truth in the past because they do not know the truth about the present. When an argument goes into the realm of subjectivity, reason and proof fail; it is just one man's liking against another's. If a Protestant says, am sure that I would feel at home with the old Trish saints," what can we answer? Perhaps we might say, "What would you do at Mass time?"--hut that argument is lost on people who never have gone to Mass. Protestants labour under a burden of misunderstanding, caused by narrowness of experience—their experience being solely subjective. They look at one of our crowded churches and contrast them with a select congregation of well- dressed, educated and devout persons; they think that Protestantism

is the better religion. What they do not realise is, that we never let go of souls; we bring in men from the highways and byways, all whom God has invited. They misunderstand our universality, because they lack it. In Protestantism, only the select and religious persons attend church regularly, and so a series of choice associations is raised. Protestants think that they must abandon these things—that we lack them—if they join us; and they err. They have their Bible classes, and we have our study circles. They have their choral services. and we have our sodalities with congregaWhatever they have tional singing. that is good (and is got by selection), we have somewhere, and do with greater thoroughness. Catholicism is the religion that seeks all men, and it has within it that which satisfies the capacity of every character, rough or refined. If Protestants knew this, they would understand the past better. There is room in Peter's barque for all that Protestants justly value, not If only Dean Kerr being heresy. would study the living Catholic faith and practice, would he not be drawn to them, recognising that the enigmas and quarrels of history are not worthy of prolonged study, when all that matters is to share the Catholic unity, and so to be at one with the' ages and with all lands? What everywhere, and what by all, is believed, is here. In the light of Catholicism the petty puzzles of history are clear. Surely, in his heart, Dean Kerr must recognise that we have that old life that he has studied in the old books. Oh, that he would give the lead to his people, saying: "An end to the division of souls! Let us renew the old unity—eenbrace the faith in its fulness. as St. Columba knew it—be at one with our fellow-Irishmen, and then labour to renew the glories of the Isle of Saints!" Will he give that blessed lead? Who will?

While excavations were proceeding in connection with the building of a new girls department at S.S. Peter and Paul's, Bolton, the workmen came across a number of coffins in old graves. The graves are part of the old graveyard that surrounded the old Bolton Moor Chapel, as it was called, which was built in 1800, and was the first Catholic Church to be established in Bolton after the Reformation. This old church served the parish until 1895 when. the closing services were celebrated prior to the building of the present fine edifice. It was then found necessary to remove a large number of bodies from the old burial ground to be re-interred at the Tonge Cemetery, Bolton. Under a Home Office order the bodies recently found have been placed in new coffins and removed to Heaton Cemetery, Bolton, where they were re -interre:' in a special grave.

VIENNA. A t the request of His Eminence Car dinal Initzer, Archbishop of Vienna. the Oblates of Mary Immaculate of the Province of Czecho-Slovakia have undertaken the foundation of a new parish in Vienna. The territory of the new parish will be taken from St. Michael's parish, which is in the care of the Canons Regular of St. Augustine. The new parish is situated in the section of the city which is in fected with Socialism, Communism and irreligion. At present. Mass is said in a theatre, placed at the disposal of the Oblates by the city officials. Plans are being formed for the construction of a new church. The nucleus of the new parish, which comprises about 10.000 people, is the Karl Marx -Hof, an immense building, nearly threequarters of a mile in length, whin), houses more than 7,000 people. Constructed by a former Socialist c'tv government, it is occupied for the most part by Socialists and Communists.: During the Socialist uprising of February, 1934. the Karl Illarx-Hof was the centre of _Socialist resistance. and around this stronghold a bitter s truggle took place between the Government troops on one side and the Socialists on the other. To -day traces of these battles may still be seen in the marks made by the cannons and m achine-guns on the roof and walls

The Spanish Government has decided to publish for widest distribution an official report of the revolutionare e vents of last October, showing forth in a special way the movement of the people of Asturias and the rebellion of the "generalite" of Catalonia. The report concludes with statistics of the losses on the side of the public forces There were 321 killed, 870 wounded. and 7 disappeared. The document does not give the loss to the Revolutionaries. The number of buildings destroyed is as follows: 63 public edifices, churches, 58; factories. 36: bridges. 58; private houses. 730.

Britain's Depressed Areas NHINID•4.•4.•4.*MP•11P•4
Father Drinkwater on Government's New Scheme (From the London "Catholic Times- ) The Government seems to have made a good choice, as far as the ordinary observer may judge, in appointing the Commissioners whose duty it will be to make our Depressed Areas glad and the derelict Slag-heaps flourish like the lily. Everybody will wish them well, but nobody will envy them their task. Those are miracles which cannot be done without rivers of money; it is a problem that cannot possibly be brought within the four corners of orthodox money -lenders' finance; but there was no hint of any such realisation on the part of the Government in the Commons debate on November 14. Broadly speaking, the Government discloses four ideas for rescuing the unemployed of the depressed areas. These are: I. Transference of the unemployed elsewhere. This is evidently regarded by the Government as the first and most promising thing to do. Employers in the South are to he "appealed to," and so forth. 2. New industries for the depressed areas, financed from borrowed money, not by the Commissioners, who will not be allowed to finance private The only light on this enterprise. point is a mysterious statement by the Minister of Labour: "Arrangements have been made to advance money on reasonable terms through local boards to new industries." The Land—A Bad Third. 3. The Land comes next—a bad third. To quote Mr. Chamberlain: "The best hope of finding occupations and assistance for those people who cannot be employed in old or new industries, and are not susceptible of transfer elsewhere, lies in the land." The Commissioners will have power to acquire land compulsorily and to sell it (or even transfer it gratis ap parently) to local authorities and other public bodies. 4. Finally, public works of various unproductive but desirable kinds: for YOUR STOVE REPAIRED AS NEW, WESTERN STOVE CO., 256 WELLING'ON STREET (Opp. Perth Hospital). Ring B6307.

estry, reclamation of waste areas, new roads, etc. Of the above proposals, numbers 1, 3 and 4 (but not number 2) are to be aided financially by the Coni'missioners, chiefly no doubt by grantsin-aid. They are to have two million pounds to spend between now and March 31st next, and Mr. Neville Chamberlain expects them to have some left out of this to be carried on into the next financial year. A Large Scale Transference. Two million pounds, I imagine, might just about pay the railway fares of all the families that would need to be "transferred," supposing there was anywhere to transfer them to! From the money -reformer's standpoint, what comments are to be made on each of these four ideas for dealing with the "depressed areas," which (let us remember if we can) is only a shorthand phrase for a tragic population of millions of men and women and children who are our own brothers and sisters just as much as Gcid is our Father? 1. As for transference, in so far as it is a real remedy, it is always going on and only needs facilitating. As a large- scale policy, the transferred unemployed would obviously throw many out of work in the areas they were t ransferred to. The only gain would he to have spread unemployment more equally over the country. That is the sort of "remedy" you are driven to if you insist on "employment" as the aim and end of existence. New Industries—And Loans. 2. As for new industries, one . can only wait and see what the Government can arrange in the way of credits for production. The banks have been refusing to create credit for small new enterprises (as the four Commissioners' reports indicated) because these could offer no "security" in the depressed areas. Even when he is risking nothing, the credit-creator exacts full

Jews in Vienna Charges Against Catholics Disproved

Experience of cauthis practise to us compels years tion." This was the response of ti-c Rev George Bichlmair, S.J., head of thc Association of Converts, which :las its seat in the Vienna convent of Our Lady of Sion, when questioned by this correspondent concerning a dispAtch of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. which charged that an "intensive cam paign" .to convert Jews to Catholi7istii under a guise of relieving the terribie distress among the Jews of Austria was being carried on. Further evidence of the falsity of the charge is presented by figures on conversions in Austria. Of the 1,700.000 inhabitants of Vienna, about 202, 000 are Jews. Reports from all parishes to the archiepiscopal office give the following figures on the number of Jews receiving Catholic baptism 27 in 1930, 43 in 1931, 42 in 1932, 102 in 1933. The total for the four years is 214. This year the total is larger, and it may reach 250. Few Jews Outside N4811114. Just how far this increase was inliuenced by a fear of the National-bo cialistic, anti-.semitic movement and the desire to hide by baptism, it is impossible to estimate. Outside of Vienna the number of converts from Judaism is unimportant, since the number of Jews in the other cities and towns of Austria is exceedingly small. No one, of course, would think of suggesting Catholic propaganda or a mass conversion movement aimed at the Protestants in Austria. There are but 88,000 members of Protestant ehui ches in Vienna as against 202.000 Jew. yet the number of conversions in the four years is almost equal, 212 from Protestantism and 214 from Judaism. The monastic settlement where the Associa . tion of Converts has its guar ters is conducted by a religious com munity which was founded from Prance by the Brothers Ratisbonne. converts. It is devoted chiefly to the work of Converting Israel. " The usual reasons, as far as can be ascertained, for applications from Jews• fr, Conversion," Father Bichlmair said, "are, listed according to their thus: frequency in descending order, mentally completed eradication from- Judaism and therefore intended rooting in Catholic surroundings: intended marriage with a Catholic: c on sideration of the present Political course; marrta• assimilation, in cases of mixed ge, to the religion of the chil. dren: inner seeking for greater religiun the inner recognitiOn contentment• of a religious of such persons moral duty in cases as have much occuPied themselves with religious clue ti(ts and t is to studies wI hich be noted that that motive necessarily in takes the first place eves the examining priest whe'" n ereceeYi 'ng an sof ver • niiitZtir jos. to be application for confound in that t, rt cases. It is the smallest for this reason e 4srloe a a gulations of the Church predidates thorough examination canPPlYing for conversion, and mstruction over a prolonged
a
period of time. That Catholic priest or layman who would seek to take act vantage of economic conditions—the distress of an individual Jew—in order to win converts would be guilty of a serious breach of ecclesiastical rules. Incidentally, there is much less question of an 'impoverishment of Austrian Jewry' than of an impoverishment of masses of Christian people in Aus tria." Other Charges Without Foundation. The charge that there is a "propaganda urging the mass conversion of the Jews" is hardly worthy of consideration. Such propaganda would be senseless. The Catholic Church re quires convinced persons, not Catholics in name only. Those who ar, Catholics merely because they are in possession of a certificate of baptism, she has always considered use less. even dangerous members Other statements in the Jewish Telegraphic Agency report are equally at variance with the facts. The re p(a-t speaks of an "increasing cumin ation of Jews from public and professional life in Vienna." After the Socialist revolt, last February, some hundred persons involved lost their positions in public offices, but among them far more were Christians than Jews. To regard this as a persecu tion of Jews is absurd.

The news that the two martyrs ( Blessed Thomas More and Blessed John Fisher) may be canonised is being welcomed enthusiastically by a considerable number of non- Catholics, w rites the "Universe." An Anglican clergyman is the first to put in hand a material memorial:
Cardinal Mercier's Diary Belgium Wanted Holy Land Mandate The fact that the late King Albert of the Belgians desired the Palestine mandate for Belgium is disclosed in the diary of the late Cardinal Mer cier, states a "Morning Post- col res pondent. It has only recently come to light that the Cardinal systemati cally entered in his diary in g,eat de tail accounts of his interviews wiTh prominent men. A t the beginning of 1920 King Albert mentioned his desire to the Cardinal and asked him to try to win Clemenceau's support for the proThe Cardinal accordingly vis posal. ited Paris and wrote to Clemenctau "The e xpressing a wish to see him.

After this the Cardinal broached the imme diate purpose of his visit, and said, "Before I left Brussels I had a ,:cn versation with King Albert.

this proposal, and I hope that I shall succeed in getting it through."
"Humanism was only a part of him, and not the most important part. The most important part was that which will be glorified in St. Peter's a few months hence.The "Independent" says: "All students of history. whatever their religious views, must feel gratified at the Sir canonise Pope's decision to Thomas More, ex- Lord Chancellor, and Dr. John Fisher, Bishop of Rochester, who were executed in 1535 for refusing to deny their faith at the instance of Henry VIII. . . It is curious and by no means creditable that the best contemporary life of More should have remained in manuscript until a couple of years ago. and that his English works. printc(: in 1555. were completely neglected until Messrs. Eyre and Spottiswoode recently began to issue a worthy new edition of them. Thus English Protestants may regard the Pope's action as a long delayed and much overdue tribute to More a s a great Englishman."
A few days later Clemenceau was unexpectedly defeated at the Presidential election, and in due course the mandate was given to Great Britain.

National Council of Women Archbishop Attacks Decisions An outspoken attack on decisions reached at the last conference, in Edinburgh, of the National Council of Women was made by Archbishop McDonald, 0.S.B., when he presided over a demonstration organised by the Catholic Truth Society. After describing the council as "a comparatively small Way of some 15,000 women, but very vocal and at times extremely noisy," the Archbishop said: "They apparently claim to speak in the name of all the women of Great They have no more right Britain. to speak for the women of the nation than you or I. Nor do they in any way represent the vast body of British womanhood. "At their meeting here in October neo -onanism„ murder or abortion, mutilation, and the free lust of divorce were discussed and a resolution passed favouring these practices—an action which makes our gorge rise and should bring a flush of shame to the cheek of any clean-minded woman. Little Protest. "A small band of Catholic women entered a spirited protest, but were overwhelmingly outvoted in the ballot. The result of this vote has been passed up to the International Oftncil of Women as the finding of the parliament of women of the entire British nation, and, barring the opposition raised by this handful of Catholics, scarcely a voice has been raised in protest. "To the credit of the women of this city be it said that the members of the Edinburgh branch of this Council united themselves with the Catholic protest, formally dissociating themselves from the resolution of the Women's Council "And the pity of it is that these women are, perhaps without exception, earnest, enthusiastic, well- meaning workers who are honestly endeavouring, according to their lights, to serve the common weal and to alleviate the distress from which society is suffering. "Moreover, in many spheres of labour their praiseworthy efforts are meeting with a considerable measure of success. "But these moral principles which they litht-heartedly assail with all the assurance of confused short-sighted thought, involve truths for which, in the last instance, every Cathqlic would be compelled to shed his blood., as did the first Christians in the amAnd yet not a phitheatre at Rome. voice was raised in protest.

Why this "Why apathy? "In part it may be due to (:atho lies being tainted by the moral atIn mosphere in which we live. times of plague it is impossible entirely to escape contagion, and some Catholics will succumb to the low moral views seething in the world around them. "But in the main I fancy this apathy may be traced to the fact that we do not realise our responsibilities As Catholics we have in this regard. no doubt or uncertainty as to the truths we have to believe or as to the moral principles which must guide our actions: We have our feet firmly set on the rock of Peter, and enjoy thk. priceless privilege of that absolute confidence which flows from the infallible teaching of the Church. "Let us realise that there are count!ecs numbers of our fellow - citi7ens who do not enjoy this privilege and who are grasping after the truth if haply they may find it; that the soul of man. 'naturally Christian, is sincerely and earnestly seeking the pathway which leads out of the maze of paganism.

Muddy Morals. "The usual principles on which the entire civilisation of the world has been raised during the past 2,000 years, .under the guidance of the Catholic Church, are crumbling into ruin. * *Principles for which our fathers would gladly have shed the;r blood are being called in question, flouted, and cast aside as jetsam. "Modern paganism ,in its mad_ pur suit of pleasure, has led to muddled thinking and muddy morals. Not merely the code of the Catholic Church, not only the teaching of Christ, but the very laws of nature written on the heart of every -ational being, by the Finger of God Himself, are being flagrantly vio:at• ed, and outraged openly. "Year by year in this fair city of Edinburgh we see dethstable practices gradually creeping out into the clear light of day.

A farewell dinner was given last month to Rev. Brother Avelino, a noted Marist teacher, on the occasion of his transfer from the Marists' Commercial College, Harrington-street, Sydney, to direct the Marist Brothers' College at Forbes. Rev. Brother Dominic, who was teaching at New Norcia, West Australia, from 1925 to 1928, succeeds Brother Avelino, who during his six years of office did good work and increased the attendance at the day and evening, classes. As Secretary of the Catholic Teachers' Conference for seven years, he also gave excellent services. Rev. Brother Dominic, the new Director, has associations in Catholic education extending over a period of 30 years: Indooroopilly (Q.) gave a warm send-off to its pastor, Father Prout, who has been in charge of the parish for ten years, and gave him a wallet containing £182, as a token of their appreciation, on the eve of his departure for Ireland on holiday.

Luther and the Bible ,
Popular Errors Corrected Dr. John J. Gorrell, K.H.S., editor of "The Pittsburgh Catholic,- U.S.A., recently corrected some erroneous statements made by a Texas paper, which said that Luther was the first to put the Bible into the vernacular, that his German version of the Bible "was so faithful it is the recognised version in Germany to-day," and that when Luther was a Catholic monk "he found the Bible chained t.) the wall of the monastery." "To the well versed and historically minded, the editorial raises at least three questions, to wit, (1) the story of chained Bibles. (2) that Luther's translation of the Bible into German was the first translation into the ver nacular, (3) the freedom from error of Martin Luther's translation, replied Dr. Gorrell. As to chained Bibles, this canard has been dismissed from What is my mind many years ago. the truth of the matter? ,Chained for Safety. "The Bibles and other books were chained in the libraries and churches in the Middle Ages to preserve them from theft and especially to make them accessible to students. Throughout the Middle Ages, it was deemed a pious work to will and bequeath I3ib1es, .psalters and books of hours to be chained in church for common The fact of the matter is that. ‘use. even the so-called reformers adopted this method and custom of having chained Bibles in their churches, a practice which lasted for more than three hundred years after the time of the so - called reformation. . . . The fact is chained Bibles were to be found in most of the Char,:1-.es of England. The colleges of Eton, Brasenose, and Merton, in Oxford, did not remove the chains from their hooks until the eighteenth century, while the libraries in Manchester, Cir encester and Lllandadarn did not remove book chains until the nineteenth century. At the present time we have records of over 5,000 chained hooks in 11 Protestant and two Catholic libraries. . . . Luther Not First.

He almost everywhere forces the Scriptures on the question of faith and works, even when neither faith nor worvs are thought of.

The Truth About Spain
The author of the "Daily Herald" article, Senor J. Alvarel del Vayo, I know very well personally. He was made Ambassador in Mex ico for a while by his otiose friends, the three Socialist Ministers of the Azana (anti clerical) Government, and was invited to sit on the Chaco Commission because he happened to be Spanish Ambassador at the time. He does not belong to diplomacy. His profession is journalism, and he was formerly correspondent in Ma drid of "La Nacion," of Buenos Aim es. He is a very militant member of the Socialist Party in Madrid, and is a Socialist deputy in this Cortes. "Inquisition Torture." Both the "Daily Herald" and the "News Chronicle" articles are based on a document quoted in the first paragraph of the "News Chronicle.' article, a document which is being circulated clandestinely here, drawn up by a certain Radical Socialist, Senor Gordon Ordas a veterinary sur geon, who was made Minister. It sounds high- faulting when one reads "ex-Minister' in London, for the man has not a dozen followers be hind him, and he is one of the ou standing political failures of the Republic. The said document has no value The story of Inquisition re here. lics. the startling allegation that in a Catholic College in Mieres a torture machine was set up, are simply fantastic, and the majority of Spaniards are not being taken in by this extravagant propaganda. The story of cruelty being practised on harmless Socialists and Communists has only been created in the minds of this group of journalists and politicians in an effort to cover up their own brutality in October, and to provoke a reaction, if possible,against the Lerroux-Gil Robles Government. If any reaction is produced in Spain against the present Government when martial law is lifted and normality re turns, it will be because the present Government has been too lenient with the rebels, Watched the Convents Burn. All the people behind the campaign of calumny are the elements which governed Spain during the Azana Socialist regime: the people who watched the churches and convents being burned and pillaged in May, 1931; who shipped workers as well as Royalist aristocrats to Africa without trial; who confiscated property without in• demnity; who suspended 114 newspapers for months on end, and among other crimes without parallel made the famous order, "No prisoners! No wounded!" which resulted in 14 per sons being killed like dogs at Casas Viejas. These are the very elements now waging their attack on the public forces for alleged brutality and excesses. Some excesses may have taken Place. When the Arn-iy and the pol ice in any country get the order to crush a revolt, there is not much time for friendly parleys. In Asturias, the Socialists and Corn munists were in absolute control of many towns and villages for some 10 days or more. Thousands of miners, armed with the most modern weapons, broke loose on the order. and killed and massacred all who stood in their way. The order was to set up a Red Re' Public and "liquidate"—which in plain language meant "Slaughter the police, Civil 'Guards, priests and any of the civil Population who might stand in the way.. The burning of any particular priest or the chopping up of a priest's body to be sold a§ pork, it must be admit ted, has not been proved, although the Spanish censor allowed it to be Published in the Press.
Tactics of the Spanish Anti-Clericals Two articles on Spain in the "Daily Herald" and "News Chronicle" (London newspapers), of January 23 and 25, respectively, are, says the Madrid correspondent of the "Universe," nothing more than part of a scurrilous campaign of calumny against the public forces of this country (Spain). Here in Spain (he goes on to say) it is being -done clandestinely, but abroad the Revolutionary propaganda is being carried gut by newspaper articles. 30 Religious Murdered. But there is undeniable evidence of over 30 priests and young men studying to be priests, whose names can be given, who were barbarously killed. Court martials which have been steadily taking place in Asturias since
October, reveal the 'horrible crimes committed by the rebels. The police and Army may have committed excesses, but after all they were stifling a dangerous movement which aimed at "converting" Spain into a second Russia, and before the forces loyal to the Government had

gained control of that region the rebels had committed atrocities which •: are' a shame to civilisation. Parades of the Army, Civil Guards, and police are taking place in many parts of Spain ,and the gratitude of the majority of Spaniards for the loyalty and bravery displayed in Asturias is clearly manifested. The Socialists and their allies wish particularly to unseat Gil Robles, the leader of the Catholic Popular Action, by force—which party, by the way, is not Fascist as alleged in the two articles, but democratically elected by the popular vote. There was no such danger of Spain being crushed by the Fascist heel, but there was the menace of Spain being ground down by a Socialist minority. Spain is a Catholic country, and it is difficult to follow the Red argument that Catholics are Fascist and reactionary when, with over 100 deputies in this Cortes, they wished to share in the Government. The Socialists were neglected at the polls, so they decided that they must seize power by violence. Socialism in Spain is giving a wonderful lesson in democracy! They apparently consider the kill ing of priests and burning of churches as Progress. But if the Catholics in a country outstandingly Catholic ask to share in the Government, it is a sign of Reaction, Haying been crushed in October, the Left party are now publishing scurrilous and most extravagant stories against the Government and the forces which saved Spain, in • an effort to cover up their own brutalitieg, which a visit to Asturias will clearly reveal to the impartial. observer. Still Inciting Revolt, Senor Fernando de los Rios, a Socialist ex -Minister of the Azana Government, is appearing before the Republic's prosecutor these last few days for some articles he has recently had published in France, America, and Asturias. The Governor of Asturias two days ago exposed the activities of Red ring-leaders in Asturias who are try ing to foment further trouble. Socialist deputies, the Governor stated, are visiting the prisons and then concocting the wildest impressions of how the prisoners are being ill- treated. At Sama prison several Socialist deputies were ordered out a few days ago by the Governor for trying to incite the prisoners to rebel.

PERTH, SATURDAY, MARCH 2, 1935.
The Lenten Season The Church is not an intricate mechanism, but a vital and livitag organism. The Mystical Body of Christ lives over again in her liturgical year the life of the Redeemer. The annual celebration of the mysteries of Christ is, however, no mere memorial of the past. The ceremonies appropriate to the respective seasons of the liturgical cycle have the character of events actually taking Ilace, and in which the Church really participates. So, in the liturgy, we become contemporaries of Our Lord. What happened once is ever recurrent. The past becomes the immediate present. Thus, in the Holy Mass of Christmas, the Divine Child is as near to us as He was to the shepherds on the first Christmas night in Our adoration is but a prolongation of theirs, and Bethlehem. the special graces vouchsafed to them at the Manger are stored up for our souls in the Christmas Mass. Each mystery that is celebrated has its special grace, just as in each period of His earthly life Christ acquired particular grace for us. On Ash Wednesday, then, the distribution of the ashes -officially ushers in the Season of Lent, which in itself is a preparalion for the Christian Pasch, which commemorates the Passion, Death, and Resurrection of Our Saviour. In the early Church. Lent was the time of preparation for baptism and also the special occasion for public sinners to prepare for absolution. The idea of this spirit of preparation to shake off the shackles of sin is the keynote to the understanding of the Lenten liturgy. This departure from sin and union with Christ was first effected in our baptism when, in the language of St. Paul, we were buried together with Him by baptism into death, that we might arise with Him and walk in newness of life. And, again, it is effected each time we do penance for sin and are restored to grace. Lent, then, is'a time of retreat for the whole Christian world, a time for us, as for the Catechumens and public sinners, of prayer, fasting and recollection as far as our daily duties permit. The penitential practices of fast and abtinence during the Lenten Season are designed to train the soul to virtue and holiess of life by destroying sin, the one mortal disease of the soul. by impelling it to repentance and to the use of those means of forgiveness which Christ has entrusted to His Church. Mortification even anticipates sin by dealing with temptations to sin, against which it strengthens the soul by inducing it to accept hardships, however severe, rather than yield to the temptation. Hence, mortification, though from one standpoint a law of death, according to its derivation, is ultimately and fundamentally a law of life, elevating and not destroying nature. St. Paul had this in mind when he wrote to the Romans: "If you live according to the flesh you shall die; but if, by the Spirit, you mortify the deeds of the flesh, you shall live." Mortification is, then, to be practiced in the best interests of the soul, for by destroying the diseases of the soul, it re• stores and invigorates its true life. • • In addition to the curative aims of mortification, penance is also employed as a personal expiation in union with Christ's Atonement for our sins and this is very pleasing to God. It explains, discipmoreover, the severe austerity of many of the Saints. The pride of mortification internal line, however, of the soul and the penance, external all of end essential the fact in and self-love are which is efficacious only so far as it springs from this internal spirit and serves to promote it. So the Church prays on Ash Wednesday with the words of Joel the Prophet: "Rend your hearts and not your garments, and turn to the Lord your God." Accordingly the Church has mitigated from time to time the severity of the Lenten fast to serve the best interests of the souls of her children. But She has not, and cannot, relax her demand for that inner change of heart, that putting off of the "old man" which is the purpose of Lent in preparation for the true rejoicing at Easter and for the reception of the Easter Sacrament. Let us then strive to make of Lent a personal success while praying that God might create a clean heart and renew a right spirit within us.

We note with regret that a recent meeting of the British Associat M•eiol cal Association and representatives of the legal profession in this State, decided in favour of voluntary sterilisation, "with adequate safeguards." The President of the British Medical however, pointed out that, though many believed that sterilisation would solve problems associated with mental deficiency, it Was ouestionable whether this treatment, even in a few generations, would make much difference to the incidence of mental deficiency, Added to this, is the paucity of our knowledge of heredity and the indisputable fact that parents of low mental capacity frequently produce quite normal offspring. On the other hand, it is almost impossible to limit the definition of the "unfit." Catholics quite reasonably insist on eknowing who is -untit," and -unfit" for what, and who is to be the arbiterio of "unfitn*ess." e,rm There is far too much looseness of t,u nfisc andarevague. th ness of aims and methods among the eugenists. whom the eugenists would pronounce pride of humanity—Milton, Beethoven, Keats, Stevenson.... to quote but a few. Moreover, it is worthy of notice that the chil. (iren of consumptives and of other defectives often inherit the best of moral tendencies from their parents and are bred, under parental care, to habits of virtue which certainly ought to he reckoned as assets for the community in which they live. From the social and moral standpoint, while it is true that the good of the greater number claims the first consideration, there are certain individual rights that must not be sacrificed by human law to any prospective good of the majority. The State has no direct right over the rives and members of its subjects. It has an indirect right to sentence to death as a punishment for grave crimes, but sterilisation of the mentally deficient would be a measure directed against those lacking moral responsibility, and who are guilty of no crime in being- mentally deficient through no fault of their own. The same applies to voluntary sterilisation of the individual. Dominion over the members of the body, a's that over the whole body, belongs to God alone. Any notable mutilation is an usurpation of the Creators dominion, and in this is akin to the malice of murder or suicide. Such mutilation is permissible for one reason only, the adequate good of the whole body. Man, therefore, as the admin, istrator of his faculties, and for the preservation of his life, has the right to consent to the amputation of a diseased member. But s terilisation, which is effected on a healthy organ, is immoral. A good effect is sought through evil means, and this is not lawful. It would he cause for deep concern if the medical profession were to give occasion to the accusation that they proceed mostly by measures of mutilation and annihilation. The spirit of defeatism would then have conquered. Rather will the great evil of mental deficiency he overcome by constructive methods such as segregation, training the sub-normal in special schools, such as Castledare, a more intense study of the causes of the evil, and a frank recognition of the importance of religion, than by the repellent and immoral practice of sterilisation. By the curious irony of history, the question ot Divorce, the very question which gave birth to Anglicanism and made it the National Religion, is the identical one which bids fair to deal the death-blow to the State Religion. Even so recently as the Vic' torian Era, non-Catholics regarded divorce as the exceptional thing, and looked on the marriage vow as something that was sacred and inviolable. The exceptional cases of divorce—which the Church alone foresaw would lead to anarchy—have become the rule. r.he inglorious courts have been set up as an accepted item in the social system. The question of marital fidelity is discussed nowadays t rom:almost every angle, save that of infidelity to God. Now a certain section of the Anglican Church, perceiving the ruin 01 the social system through the disintegrating factor of divorce, is .en" deavouring to frame proposals to exclude it from the Establish . ' ment. The proposed modus operandi is the introductio.n into the marriage service of a vow that neither party, in any. c!rcumstances, will seek a divorce. The necessity of the vow IS D.Yd no means clear. The Catholic Church has at all times un(lerstoo. and taught that the very nature of marriage, and the quite wy11is. takable teaching of Christ on the matter, took the promise ot Per mancy for granted. "Whosoever shall put away his wife and limiter another, committeth adultery against her."

the Triduum at Lourdes, is dated January 10. The greatest religious demonstration Christendom has ever known will be witnessed during the three closing days of the Holy Year of Redemption. Masses and special prayers and other devotions in all parts of the world will be offered to God, imploring His mercy, and for peace and salvation. The Holy Father, visualising the scene, as the whole Catholic world is praying together, describes it as "a truly wondrous spectacle . . a truly heavenly spectacle." Miss Lorna Sydney Smith (soprano) and Mr. Edward Black (pianist), two well-known local musicians who often broadcast with station 6WF, have signed a contract with the Australian I3roadicasting commission to perform at national stations through out Australia.

Miss Sydney Smith has taken leading roles in local operatic productions, as well as making frequent appearances on the concert platform. Miss Smith is very pleased with the honour of being the first West Australian asked to make the tour. She attributes much of her success to the keen interest her parents have taken in her career.

Boulder C.Y.M.S. The man 'in' the street nowadays complains of shortage of change. Our Society regrets a surplus of change— not coinage—but the kind which brings about the loss of good members and supporters. In addition to losing a few of our best members, we have had to part with a very enthusiastic supporter in the person of Rev. Dr. Sullivan, our Spiritual Director. At last Thursday's meeting, Dr. Sullivan was tendered a farewell by members. Speeches by the Secretary, Treasurer, President, Vice-President and several other members, were eloquent testimony of the esteem in which Dr. Sullivan is regarded by all. A presentation of a suitable kind was made as a gift from the club.

THE RECORD.
With the 1934 W.A.C.L.T.A. Carnival Team LEAVES FROM A DIARY. (By Peregrinus.) From last week's edition of "The Record," I gather that one of Aunt Bessy's precocious nieces waxed sentimental over our experiences with "Love's Young Dream." While I feel flattered that the young folk are taking a lively interest in these articles, I regret that Aunt Bessy had to decline the timely proposal of this young hopeful's father, as I feel sure that her restraining motherly hand could be well employed in keeping those tiny feet on the "straight and narrow No doubt, "properly cooked path." would do much towards bringood" f ing happiness into this gloomy home, and give father and daughter a more r easonable and cheerful outlook on life. That reminds me, I was feeling a little bit blue myself when last I met you, as I was amongst that picnic party who had to take biscuits ind The tea for dinner at Bulli Pass. diary continues: Our driver—didn't he get it in the neck—one wise chap ventured to ask him if each bather brought his own sand to the beaches. We were passing Scarborough at this time—how they have disgraced our beautiful beach by baptising one of these aboriginal watering places under its name "Sydney in the bush"—well, we had a lot of fun picking the black spots of Sydney, but I do not think the most provincial amongst us ever forgot that it is only the beautiful which throws weaknesses into relief. This trip to Bulli Pass was wonderul-12 to 5.40 p.m. The three mile descent through the Pass itself is so many miles of sheer steep loveliness. Steep—you should have seen the brakes smoke! But what is this compared with our hopes for to-morrow. and what ex planations we are to have! The driver chipped to pieces to-day has gone home early to read and refresh his memory on the grandeur of his last trump—the ace of the Blue Mountains. If he cannot catch our King's Park with that finesse, then I am afraid his contrast, "Sydney or the bush," will be lost. Asked if Sydney
boasted any beautiful girls, the reply was, "Locked up lest visitors should steal them." A sound example to follow. To the pictures again—supper at the "Monterey," with its appropriate monastic or missionary wall paintings. Alas, it is the last appear ance at this happy rendezvous which has already began to feel very home ly. How many crowded rushing events have made the past week like a year—and like a day. However, there are still some hours left—and the immortal Blue Mountains, whose fame soars high as their peaks are before us.

able imported specimens as if anothei and better civilisation were gradually being super -imposed. Most of Katoomba's cottages are summer retreats for city owners, who let them during the remainder of the year, and so make them as far as possible self -supporting. The majority of Katoomba's inhabitants are visitors, yet the township is a well kept budding city in the hills. It is a strange and wonder ful apparition amid the peaks, and it could only exist in such a position in a country such as ours, with its general flatness and almost unbearable summer heats of the city, which drive its people to seek a cooling breeze in this one great and beautiful altitude, 3,500 feet above Sydney. It still rains. Lunch is over, and we have a hurried peep at Echo Point, and the Three Sisters, and a glance over the new Prince Henry Walk. Incessant rain chases us back to the shelter of our cars. What a lovely position is occupied by the Sisters of Charity Boarding School. Can there be a more beautiful outlook, a more heal thy position occupied by such an in anywhere else in Australia?

But Katoomba has the blue haze spread over it while it reposes in the arms of perfect quiet, the nurse-maid of deep successful study. Yet Katoomba is not isolated as it is only 65 miles from Sydney, and the terminus of a net-work of concrete roads. The rain continues—our explorations are limited—home. More trains to-night—the last of the Victorian bri-
gade except the bus members are farewelled. The bus already left this morning, bearing most of the party. Remnants of the Queensland army are off, too—it is a continual good-bye. To-morrow, what? No more mass gatherings—each one for himself for the few remaining hours before W.A., too, bids farewell to the scene of the 1934 Carnival. Friday, all have a few errands of preparations. More visits to places of interest—Bondi's famous beach, Rose Bay Convent, and other places. Another show for some to-night—for most a last farewell dinner and social at Euston Hotel (who was it who robbed that cart of its hot pies in the small wee hours?) Saturday: My word, can it rain in Sydney in mid-summer--can it rain cats and dogs? It is an awful morning, with little chance to move about. Packing is the order of the day, the general hobby. The "ports' are off to the boat—the S.s. Westralia. Are we downhearted? 2.30, the siren blows—it still pours rain. What a rousing "Wacko" from N.S.W. friends and some of our own contingent who are left behind, including the genial manager, Mr. J.

A Winter's Tale That is True (By Elizabeth Myers.) It was a dream. Sister Mary Ver onica was certain of that. On of those strange, cruel dreams from which we thankfully awaken in the genial morning light. A dream, please, yes . . . but no, across the dining table she caught the cold eyes of Sister Marie Therese, behind their blue- tinted spectacles. If only Sister Marie Therese was no so brusque! Those eves seemed to say: "It is your fault, there cannot possibly be any doubt of that, Sister Superior, that we have come to this unhappy Pass. What is going to happen to us I should like to know. We have now had no fires for two terrible weeks, and Agatha, the kitchen girl, has to-day used the last bucketful of coal, to give us hot soup for luncheon, the last hot meal we are likely to have. What, I repeat, is going to become of us now, Sister Superior? Decidedly it is your fault that there is no money to buy coal." Unkind blue eyes! Sister Mary Veronica rose for grace, and afterwards went up to the little room which served her for study and reception room alike. Outside a bitter, rising wind was driving the snow into deep drifts over the bleak Cumberland fells, and a flock of gaunt birds streamed across the sky. The ventilator was open, and the wild blast swept into the room She shivered and going to the window strove with her poor frozen fingers to close the ventilator; but the catch was very stiff, and she could not move it. Helplessly her hands fell to her side. Soon, she felt, Sister Marie Theresa would be coming along for a discussion as to what the little community should do now. But who was there to appeal to? There was no other convent or Catholic church for many miles, and the people in the tiny village were too poor to help, except the Jew who lived in the big house next door, and it was hopeless, of course, to approach him. Last year, when she and her ten nuns had first come to the house they were using as a convent they had timidly asked his help on two occasions, only to be turned from the door by insolent servants. Yet something would have to be done. Her eyes filled with tears as she thought of poor Sister Gertrude, who was so old, and so ill-equipped. to stand the ravages of the cold weather, whose hands and feet were crippled with rheumatism and chilblains, but who insisted upon hobbling about and helping with the duties of the small place. A s Sister Mary Veronica desperately pondered, her eyes fell upon the Autobiography of St. Therese of Lisieux. St. Therese! Of course! She would help them. She was so kind, so gracious; she was marvellous, a miracle worker. this Little Flower of r'od. "Little Flower of Jesus," she prayed. "help me now in my great extremity. I have no one to turn to but you. You will not fail me. for I put my trust in you." and when she had prayed it seemed that a great load was lifted from her heart, and she went downstairs feeling curiously hopeful and comforted. The nuns were sitting together in ii •

the common-room. it was too cold e_ do anything and they turned their meek, white faces upon her as she entered. She smiled, and seated herself amongst them. "It is going to be all right," she told them. "I am sure "of it. I have asked the help ot St. Therese, and she will not fail us." Sister Marie Therese gazed coldly at her. There was no hope, no gladness in that stern face, and Sister Mary Veronica sighed . The short winter afternoon drew to a close, and the window became a patch of deep blue, pricked with stars. Suddenly came the rumbling of a heavy vehicle climbing the hill from the village, mingled with the shouts of men, and the clang of horse-shoes on the hard road. Nearer drew the waggon, a man sang out: "This will be the place," and immediately afterwards the startled women heard the hatches pulled back, and the roar of coal tumbling into the cellar. Enough coal to last for many months! "I knew the Little Flower would help us," cried Sister Mary Veronica, running to the kitchen, where the surprised and delighted Agatha was already planning a tine hot supper for the nuns. Later in the evening, when this same fine supper was served, even Sister Marie Therese smiled. and gave a charming tribute to the little Saint Therese, from whose country indeed she came. "It is a miracle," happily declared Sister Mary Veronica, as she sat with the nuns round a roaring fire in the common-room afterwards, "for when I went out to speak to the men they declared they had come from Cocker' mouth with instructions to deposit the coal at this house. She is a wonderful worker, our dear Saint Therese." The following morning the Jew next door rang up a firm of coal merchants in Cockermouth and demanded to know why the load of coal he had ordered on the previous day had not been despatched. "But," cried a bewildered voice at the other end of the wire. "the coal was delivered and signed for by a Sister Mary Veronica. Now this is quite beyond me, thought the Jew. contemplating Solomon J. Solomon's "Echo of Narcissus" immediately facing him. He thought deeply for some minutes, then spoke into the telephone. " Well, a mistake has evidently occurred. Repeat yesterday's order, will you, but this time tell your men to call at the last big house in the village. And as to the load delivered to the convent yesterday . • . ." he was thinking very deeply, "you can send the account in to me. The two loads are to be invoiced to me, do you understand?" "Very good, sir," replied the clerk, and he rang off. He commenced to bite the finger nails of his left hand, and suddenly shook with deep, rumbling laughter. "This might amuse Sara," he said aloud, struggling from his easy chair. "But then, one does not tell Sara such things. Ai! Al!" and he went CI.JW,1 to the library to read a Yoleme called: "101 Reasons why a Jew should not help a Christian."

With hearty congratulations on your success of last year, and wishing you greater success for this year's campaign.— Yours very sincerely, M. T. B. Dear M. T. B.,—While appreciating the comendable thought that has given the dusky children of the North a share in the raffle, am afraid I can t promise to "hold" the tickets, for T can't even hold my own breath these hot days for more than half a minute. However, I have placed them in a sale place, nd have made out four each for the girls at the missions you specified, and I think you deserve congratulations on your kindly act. I have three nieces at Lombardina, Elizabeth, Cissy, and Mary Magdalen, so I have given each of them a chance, and they will be very grateful to their unknown friend. AUNT BESSY. Kalgoorlie. Dear Aunt Bessy,—Enclosed P.N. for 20/- is from Rolland, Edmund, Bob, Marie and Lou, for the Bushies' fund, per GRANDMA. Dear Grandma,—Your enclosure was a gladsome sight to look upon, and of course there was instant recognition of the sender, but being not too sure of the last name, I called in one of your playmates rrom the Land of h appy Iouth, and she deciphered it as ming "Lou, tneretore it it is wrong you will know where to attach the olame—my grateful thanks. AUN1 13ES6I. Where is it Dear Aunt Bessy,—You du not seem to have many letters just now, so it is a good time to write. I started several letters to you last year, but never sent them. I saw a letter partly written in Italian in the page last week; could you read a German one if you received it? (There's no knowing! ) 1 think you could send me a book of tickets on "Love's Young Dream," as I do not see any sign§ of any being sold in this part of the world. I am also collecting old stamps for you. It has become such a habit now for me. to put them by that I can't see an envelope with a stamp on without tearing it off. . . . I was very glad to see you did so well last 'year, and hope you will do even better this year. The bush trees are in flower, a sign, they say, of an early and very wet winter. 1 hope to see the Little Flower Shrine when it is finished; I hear it will be very beautiful. With all good wishes to yourself and the Cornerites.—Your loving niece, GRETCHEN. Dear Gretchen,—There used to be a little song that ran, "Gretchen von Gretchen. you know love is catchin',- so I do hope it will be that way with those tickets you have so kindly offer. ed to sponsor, and as there is a very nice German bachelor in y„put- town, I also hope you will entice him to take a chance on winning the bride. I was very pleased to receive your let ter—why be shy when the crowd is
around? You are always welcome, and I can assure you I value all your past work for our Bushies very much, as well as for your big contribution to last year's success. Say a prayer for rn the Company of the Feathered Tribe. AUNT BESSY. Norseman. Dear Aunt Bessy,—Here I am back at work again and ready to be your "Norseman Admirer" for a few more months. I,, say months, as I am always living in hopes of a transfer. I notice quite a number of bachelors here who would he glad of the sight of "Love's Young Dream," so if you couH send me a book of tickets I might be able to put the opportunity in their w ay. Best wishes. "ADMIRER" P.S.: Find enclosed 2s. in honour of the Little Flower, from whom I still am asking favours.—A. Dear Admirer,—I felt quite thrilled about sending off a book of tickets to y ou, until I reached the end of your
TWENTY letter and found that you had omitted to give me your name and full address, and you know it is no use me sending them just to my "Norseman Admirer," so out with your real identity please, and you will receive the tickets per return. I do want to cooperate with you in introducing "Love's Young Dream" to some of the bachelors. Thank you very much for your P.S., and I hope the Little Flower will send you the wished-for roses. AUNT BESSY. The Zoo, not South Perth. Dear Aunt Bessy,—Thank you fcr that book of tickets on Love's Young Dream, and we will do our very best to return the financial part of them as soon as we can. The animals are very disappointed that you are raffling a Bride instead of a Little Red Riding Hood with a nice little basket of good things that would suit the taste of a wolf. I am enclosing 12s. Ten shillings from a Kookaburra who has borne many burdens; he is most inter ested in the "Bushies," and hopes the He Scheme will continue to flourish. was at the Zoo for a short holiday, but has returned to the Never Never. The other 2s. is from a Little White Mouse begging a special request from Our Lady of Perpetual Succour. I do wish you could have heard the sermon at the Monastery last Sunday afternoon.. The subject was the Propagation of the Faith, and Father Glover ended his sermon by speaking on the Busbies, and I think. Aunt Bessy, you should have a greater number of helpers coming along as a result. Best wishes from LITTLE WILLIE WAG TAIL. Dear Willy Wag Tail,—Many thanks for your activities. I know your per suasive powers will make the animals take to "Love's Young Dream- even though they would have preferred Red Riding Hood, or a case of Johnny Walker, but beggars can't be choosers. I will remember the intention that is worrying my generous Little White Mouse, and I hope Our Lady will soon right things for her, and if you can get in touch with the Never Never send on my gratitude to the KookaOne of his married sisters has bun-a. her home in a gum tree outside my office, and she is trying to teach her youngest to take her star laughing notes, but so far the baby hasn't been able to manage it in spite of music running in the family.

"Love's Young Dream" For the benefit of country subscribers, we insert the following de scription of the beautiful Doll Bride, whose photo adorns the Corner this week: "The Bride is wearing a particularly handsome frock of finest Chantilly lace, made to floor length; the bodice is high-necked in. front, The long sleeves and prettily caught with a spray of orange -blossom. are pointed on the hand and cowl draped from the shoulders. The skirt is fully flared and a beautifully cut train falls from the waist, which is encircled with a girdle of pearls. Her hair, which is worn with Marina mode of curls, is partly hidden by a lovely hand- worked wedding veil, which is held in place by a semi-circlet of orange-blossoms." And all "Love's Young Dream" will be on show at Pellegrini's, this for 3d! Hay-street, during the month of March, where tickets on her are also available, and as there is no sign yet of the bridegroom, admirers are advised to do their sympathetic best to win her. Tickets are also available at the Church Offices, Victoria Square• and from Aunt Bessy.

Reading for the Home LAMENT. Song, let me rest! I shall not sing to-day. Though all the pain of life should melt in joy And all the tears of mothers weeping And all the hunger of the poor, The desolation of the faithless, And the agony of failure were to cease In one loud cry Of sweet release from woe, I shall be mute . . . Indifference to bitterness, to sweet, To love, to loss, to self, to all the world Is such a sullen as am I. I shall not sing . . Why, if the strings of every lute Are warped and out of tune, Or broken,—as all are,— How shall there be a song for singing? What's more, seven thousand songsters In the past, are singing, or have played And sung this self - same theme Far sweeter than could I . . . Hear Sappho lilting to a pulsing breeze A threnody commingled with Alighieri's chant divine, And Virgil, singing of the bees, one heart At one with frail Lizette hymning the spicewood . . . Could I, should I vie with these Song, let me rest! I cannot sing. —R. F. Grady. S.J., in "America." WITH SAINT AIM SAGE. A charitable tongue saveth many scandals. It is wise not to seek a secret and honest not to reveal it. All disquiet of heart and distraction of the senses arise from inordinate love and vain feat . Thomas a'Kempis. Let us never abandon our ordinary devotions, , or any other good work, through human respect, dryness, or disgust. Humility and abnegation, being sis ters, must always be together and never separated. Just as the, sight of God will be pleasing to His elect, and give them great joy, so will it be appalling to the reprobate and terrible its effects upon them. "What the world is, such it has ever been; we know the contempt which the educated pagans had for the mar tys and confessors of the Church; and it is shared by the anti-Catholic bodies of this day."—Cardinal Newman. We must not suffer our. will to be the slave or to • be subject to any but the will of Him Who has redeemed it by His Precious Blood. God forms His saints as He chooses They are all made to play their part in His order, to which they are all subject. This submission is the true self -abandonment; it is the most perfect path —Pere de Caussacle, S.J. OUR
LAST
END.
"The thought of death is good, and Our Lord advised and recommended it, hut it must be moderated; it is not expedient that you should have it constantly present to your mind; it is sufficient that you should think of it two or three times a day, without, however, stopping long upon it: and if you should find yourself anxious about it, do not think of it at all." —St. Vincent dr Paul. SAYINGS OF THE SAINTS. Blessed Claude de la Colombiere: "Submission to God's will frees us from all other yokes. Because as God wills everything that happens to us and as we will all that God wills. nothing can happen except what we will." Blessed Julie Billiart: " When the good God see that a soul oppor is careful never to let slip ari
tunity of proving her fidelity to Him, He pours upon her very special graces." St. Therese of Lisieux: "A heart given to God loses nothing of its natural affection; on the contrary, that affection grows stronger by becoming purer and more spiritual." DLE HOURS. I At times our lives are hard. There are more tears than smiles in them, more darkness than sunshine. We are often weary after our daily toil, our hearts heavy and sore. The dull monotony of duty daily well done is a heavy •strain on spiritual resolves. Then let us think of that day so long ago when the Master seat silent and alone on the sandy beach by the Sea of Galilee. The Apostles had gone to Capharnaum. The people who in their enthusiasm would have given Him Herod's crown and Herod's sceptre had gone back to their homes across the Jordan. CHRISTIAN REJOICING. A Christian ought to rejoice, not because of his good works and virtuous life, but because his life and goods are sweet solely for the love of God and for no other reason whatever. A Christian, if he will make his rejoicing to God in moral goods, must keep in mind that the value of the good works, fasting, almsgiving. penances and prayers does not depend upon their number and nature, but on the love which moves him to perform them for God.--St. John of the Cross. THE WISDOM OF FATHER DEGEN. Poverty has its own crop of temptations as yell as wealth and unless the restraining influence of religion is present the economic pressure of continuous unemployment is apt to dull the edge of honesty. A living wage is a wage sufficient for the working man's moral needs—needs which include the setting up of a home with a wife and family. Wages should fit the family, not the family fit the wages. Truth is not only stranger than fiction, but it is also more exciting and thrilling than fiction, but usually the deeper aspects of truth are sacrificed to prudence and decked out in the plain garb of decorum and respectability. Declining trade conditions in one country have inevitable repercussions in other countries. Not until the countries of the world begin to think and act collectively and internationally can there be a world- wide trade revival. Confidence needs to be restored, the lack of which paralyses every step taken in the direction of internationalism. There are people whose faculty for extracting matters of offence out of almost every incident in life amounts to genius—a poisonous, evil genius. Despite the longer dress vogue, modern fashions often savour more of pagan nudity than of Christian modesay. During the Christmas season many people will stand uncomplainingly for an hour or, more in a queue to see a pantomime or cinema show, who say they are too tired to give five minutes to God. CHARITY'S DICTATES. We must love our neighbour. It is the touchstone of Christianity. In the negative aspect this love of our neighbour shows itself in various ways. Not to hurt his feelings, not to speak the bitter words which often come to the tongue; not to make fun of him, nor to shine by saying brilliant, witty things at his expense Not

Potted Ham. This is useful for sandwiches at the festive season, and is quite simply prepared. Cut a pound of lean ham and four ounces of the fat part small, and add a pinch of cayenne pepper and a little powdered spice. Melt an ounce of butter, and mix thoroughly with the rest of the ingredients. Run all through a mincer, pot, and cover with melted butter if it is not to be used at once.

Over every 151b of melon stew 31b. sugar, and let it r emain all night. Cut up 12 lemons, cover with boiling water, and also leays all night. Next day boil all together till soft. Then strain through a cheese cloth and boil again for about an hour, allowing 11b. sugar to every pint of juice. The melons used should be fresh, and not very ripe. Excellent Fig Pudding. Take half pound good figs, half pound suet, and half pound breadcrumbs, and enough treacle to mix the ingredients. Sugar . to taste.
