Profounciy
The play has no less than 34,000 lines, each of eight syllables. The artists and savants who r eproduced this great Mediaeval work had the unstinted backing of the Municipal Council of Paris. Ancient Spirit Preserved. Despite the use of such modern resources as electricity, projectors, radio, etc., the spirit of the Middle Ages was preserved as closely as possible. Just as the adapters of the play preserved the language of another age, the settings and costumes were reconstituted from miniatures found in libraries. The stage setting was particularly striking. At the far right. Hell, whence Satan hurled his cries of hatred, was a red oven. the entrance of which was the mouth of a monster breathing flames of sulphur and allowinoto escape from time to time devils who uttered frightful cries. Opposite. near the left entrance. paradise was visible at times, to the accompaniment of seraphic melodies on the organ, where there appeared. amid choirs of angels. St. Michael. Then, surrounded by all, God the Father. Between these extremities, were the house at Bethany, the house of Caiphas, the house of Pilate, and the stall of the blacksmith who forged the nails for the Cross. Tt should be borne in mind that as this Was to be a faithful reproduction of a Mediaeval play. the houses were Gothic and the costumes of the actors were not those worn by the Jews of the time of Christ, but such as were worn lw burghers and artisans of the 15th. century. And Then Darkness. The spectacle commenced with Palm Sunday. The principal scenes were the Last Supper, the Garden of Olives, the appearance before Pilate, the flagellation, the meeting with the Holy Women, Christ's farewell to His Mother. and the death of Judas. When Christ died on the Cross, the entire cortege of soldier, executioners and the multitude traversed the square. passing amonp, the spectators before gaining the height of Calvary. Bathed with floods of light from the projectors, amid the total obscurity of the square. - this procession produced the most gripping effect. When Christ (lied on the Cros. the entire esplanade was plunged into darkness. The devils came out from their cave and danced an infernal roundelay, believing dial Satan had won a victory. Then a nimbus appeared about A light the visage of Christ.

The prescribed forms are now in the possession of the club secretaries, and are also obtainable at Every inthe Central Sports Depot. dication points to a record-breaking nomination from all grades, which will necessarily mean keen competition and tennis of a high grade standard. Mystery Bus Tour. This tour has been listed fur Sunday, September 22, leaving the A.M.P. Buildings in St. George's Terrace at 10.30 am. The fare for this tour will Although the main object of be 3/6the outing is to cater for the social intercourse of the various clubs, a feature of the journey will be a cruise through the wonder-world of our bush land. The trip will pass by towering heights, boulder studded and crowned with stately trees, turbulent streams tumbling over rocky beds, gullies almost hidden in matted fern, whilst flowering hillsides and pastoral scenes., will arrest the eye as we cruise through. You can find the mystery route by paying your fare and booking your seat Member in Three States. By playing in Kensington (N.S.W.) "A" Grade team in the current series, Wally Groves, recently transferred from Perth to Sydney, and a former member of the Glen Eira (Victoria) Club, achieves the unique record 01 having played Catholic inter-club tennis in three States. Wally was a prominent member of the Star of the Sea and St. Joachim's Clubs in the West, and a leading light in tennis circles generally. Of a bright, cheerful disposition. Wally is a welcome visitor to any club. We suspect that if this Continent-trotting continues, golf or howls will claim him ere further representation in another State matches is obtained. Brian Kinane Comes Back. A fter a lapse of several seasons, Brian Kinane has re-entered the ranks of the playing members. His old love—Hill Street--is again the fortunate possessors of this dashing exponent of the racquet. With a wealth of tennis knowledge, ever ready to place at the disposal of his comrades. Brian is a great asset to the Association. Now that Joe Mitchell is beginning to strike his old form, and a probability of the return of Max Carpenter. we are in for a feast of eltciting and win ing singles duels. The "A" Grade Ladies' Final. This week-end will be the grand finale of tis year's pennant finals for the "A" Grade ladies. The duel will be fought out by St. Joachim's and St. Brigid's Clubs. Great interest will be centred in the singles match of the Misses Myrtle Herbert and Molly McGrath. The event should be a big draw card and a forecast of a close and e xciting contest is made.

Third Order of St. Francis (PERTH FRATERNITY). "Deus Meus et Omnia." On September 1, there was held, in St. Mary's Cathedral, a Profession of members who had completed their year's novitiate, Three sisters and two brothers were professed, and two new tertiary .sisters were received into the order by the Director, Rev. M. Winston, after which he gave a sermonette on the day's G'ospel, applying it chiefly to the ideals of the Third Order, which, though it has for its primary object the s anctification of its members, should also cultivate charity,. both spiritual and material, as their great founder the Poverello and all the patrons of that Order always have done.

Tertiaries who have gardens are asked to send flowers for decoration of tables before 2 p.m. to Stirling Institute. As this is the only yearly social gathering of Tertiaries, they are earnestly requested to make every effort to be present. It is most essential in these troublous times that Catholics should combine to help each other against the united forces of evil which surround them on all sides, and Tertiaries, especially, should show a strong united front. Unless they meet together and get to know one another better how can this ideal be kept up So please, dear brothers and sisters, roll up in full f orce. A Catholic medical mission has been started at Kanowit, 90 miles up the Rejang River, Sarawak, Borneo, by the Mill Hill Fathers and the Franciscan Sisters of St. Joseph. of Patricroft, England. The Rajah of Sarawak, H.H. Sir Charles \Tyner Brooke, who has already given the Sisters a vacant bungalow at Kuching for their medical work, has promised to contribute to the proposed hospital. The mission at Kanowit was founded 50 years ago by the late Msgr. Edmund Dunn, Prefect Apostolic of Sarawak, when head-hunting among the savage Dvaks was still more or less common.

His remarks in fact rather support Dr. Davies' to contention about the "atheistic" doctrin lutionists. If the correspondent is not e of the materialistic evo. it atheistic, he is at least pro. . posterously agnostic. He claims that the variations in evolution which Darwin explained as "accidents," may reveal something purposeful, or at least something movin g towards realisation. will not commit himself definitely, Hr however, as he imagines we ate only dimly aware of the full nature of God and may, perhaps, never . know it in this world. This is is demonstrated to be universallysheer balderdash. If evolution true, it in no way evades the theological postulate that God, from speak, must "preserve" His creatio moment to moment, so to n else it would fall nothingness. Since everything, outside of man was back into created for man, to help him attain the end of his creation, there is, of course, something purposeful in creation. Nothing, in fact, exists with. out a sufficient reason. Since the purpose of man's existence IS the love and service of God, it follow s that man must he able. in a sufficient sense. to understand the nature of God. A very elementary intellect, however, must realise that an Infinite intellect must act with a purpose.
At its recent meeting on the 30th. ult., the Public Examinations Board decided to recommend that Scripture be included as a subject of examination at the Junior Certificate standard io 1937 and following years. The only opposition to the suggestion came from Rev. Brother Keniry (headmaster of Christian Brothers' College). From the purely educational viewpoint, the whole examination system is becoming daily more odious in the sight of teachers and educational authorities, because it has proved a particularly effective agent in destroying real interest in, and appreciation of, learning in students, and because it cramps the personality of the teacher and restricts his powers of holding the interest of his class by compelling him to run eternally in the groove of the examination curriculum. This could he illustrated in a great many cases: How many students. for instance, voluntarily read another Shakesperian play after the gruelling experience of preparing two for the Leaving Certificate? The Sacred Scriptures will be brought down to the level of the profane subjects, and will suffer the same fate of humiliation and futility if they are made the subject of examination. • • • • Perusing the syllabuses of scriptural knowledge and typical examination papers which are used in the public examinations conducted by English Universities. one is at once compelled by their In our last issue, we commended the wholes ome orth.odoxv of apparently deliberate easiness. t he Rev.

She alone saved for the been the peerless knowledge and the Scriptures. She has nothing ancient the world scientific advancement —ignorance is Her most banefrom to fear ful foe. With a tradition of true scholarship, Catholics are slow to accept every theory which the scientists loudly proclaim to the world. Firstly because many of these theories have been used as instruments of attack on religious truth, and secondly. because \there there is only theory there is always the possibility of error. And science has an unconscionable heap of the discarded theories of the past. The epigram about scientific exultation causing youth to lose in the Saints and in the wonderful heritage of art which nterest i the Church bestowed on and preserved for the world, is in reality orery sad one. It is ridiculous to suggest that the Church startis the way of learning, but She is cautious about new scientific phenomena, exactly as She is cautious about mystical manifestaimns and miracles in religion. And the Catholic philosophy of life insists that whatever developments occur in human affairs, the primary, indeed the sole purpose of man's existence. is service of God. And it should he noted that the advance of learning d-es not appear to have assisted man materially in the prosecution of tl•.,-t end for which he was created. There is no point in rhapsolii;ing over the advance of learning if man is not becoming proportkmately more virtuous. For a man's spiritual responsibility incteases with his knowledge. The Rev. Platten claims. that G:7)(.1 i still sneaking to the mind of man through the scientists. We are not impressed by the argument. We imagine he could learn nic,re -.0 his purpose from the "anaemic saints" than from the The burden of the reverend gentleman's scientific Te Deum is that theology has sunken into an atmosphere of mustiness and stuffiness which cannot but fail at attract the "enfranchised" mind v ot\th, and that we must look to science for an ever-heightening conception of God. ' Of his own theology this may be true. for Protestantism has fallen into the grip of a dreadful subjectivism whose one remaining objective truth is that Rome is wrong. But Catholic theology has the freshness of God Himself. because it represents the plenitude of His truth. So far from repelling the "enfranchised" mind of youth. it is attracting the young in everincreasing numbers to dedicate their lives to the servce of God, Whether in the world or in the cloister. Strangely enough. while m other quarter theve is an atmosphere of mustiness and lleness arising from the stagnation of error, in the Church it is the era of Catholic Action. It is almost blasphemous to speak of the Spirit of Truth guiding the world through the doctrines of scientists. Through the ages the Church has had the fulness of Gods revelation. the sufficiency of truth. It is through Her. God's appointed mouth-piece, that the Spirit of Truth speaks, not proclaiming new truths. but insisting on the old and lending to them ' t-nal freshness.

What is a Just War? .by the Rev. Martin J.

But since as to the manner of conducting war is waged by men, and not

It is the mode of warfare now among those not influenced by Chri,Lian morality. W hen Huns and Vandals swept down from Asia and overran Europe, that was their procedure. Women and children, the aged and the infirm, all were made victims of war. Christianity introduced mercy and humanity into the conduct of war. making it unlawful to slaughter non-combatants or needlessly to destroy property. Due to the Christian principles of justice and charity, an army of mercy now accompanies the army of destruction. The angels of the battlefield. Nvhether Sigterq of Mercy or

by fiends, humanity demands that the innocent and helpless be spared whenever possible. The poisoning of the water supply, since such a measure might destroy the innocent, infants and the infirm, is condemned by international law. The slaughter of prisoners or the wounded is likewise outlawed among civilised nations. Now. however, since war is waged between whole peoples rather than between armies. airplane. the poisoned gas. chemical bombs and other such devices of death. are more dreadful than the most fiendish cruelties of former ages. Poison gas. set free over a city. may cause more indiscriminate suffering and death than the poisoning of wells. Modern warfare is so dreadful that nothing but a nation's life or essential welfare should induce a government to enter upon it. In our age. however, in which the doctrine of materialism has impregnated so many, greed and pride have supplanted justice and charity. Might has taken the place of right among nations, as well as among many individuals. Materialism proclaims that man is but a superior animal, that there is no personal God, no future accountability, nothing beyond the grave. Force and cunning now dominate too many nations as well as individuals. The greed of the powerful few

in the industrial world, has reduced the masses of the people to a quasi-serfdom, while tne ambition of strong nations has caused them to ride roughshod over the less powerful. Until both individuals and nations are brought to a realisation that there is a Power above who rules the world and to whom mankind is responsible for possessions and their use, there will be little hope of
diminishing wars. A fter a war there is the matter o f settlement between victor and vanquished. It is a common
phrase that "to the victor belong the spoils of \var." It is lawful for the victor of a just war to demand full reparation and compensation. Also it is lawful to impose penalties, in order to deter future aggression by the enemy. Final war settlements are termed treaties. History attests, however, that treaties and compacts are of avail only so long as it is to the advantage of the parties concerned to respect them. When either victor or vanquished finds that he is strong enough, that there is sufficient incentive for disregarding the treaty, some pretext is advanced for ..lwaking it. Ordinarily, treailes hold only as long as force obliges their observance. It is certainly praiseworthy to do everything possible to prevent war and to make treaties sacred. It is discouraging. however, to reflect that with all the agencies for peace now in operation, so many nations are spoiling for war. Nation watches nation as an animal its prey or foe. Treaties and leagues and compacts are stop gaps, but not preventives of war. At best we may hope that, with the spread of the spirit of the Prince of Peace, w ars will become less freque nt and less savage.
This does not mean that Christianity has failed. hut that it has not been practised by the nations at large. In proportion as Christianity dominates individuals as well as nations will war vanish from the earth. There is no circumstance, except greed and injustice, which would prevent nations from settlinr, their differences by negotiation. The greatest remedy for greed and injustice is the religion of the Prince of Peace. Christ. the Light of the world, not only illumines the way to e verlasting peace. but also shows the wav to the maximum of peace attainable in this mortal life by individuals as well as by nations. We cannot change human nature. hut we can direct it beneficially if we follow Him who is the Way. the Truth and the Life.

THE LOVING DEAD. We hold our sacred dead aloof, We put them by like trea,sures old, roof, No more for them or hearth or cold. But narrow dwelling lone and asleep! The dear, warm hearts that fell Why shun them in our secret

A s if some change were in wrought?
They cease not from
their
them
constant
love, They are, not strange and far away;
Their presences about us move Closer ihan presences of clay.
How it must grieve them when they come, Heart-close and find no welcome there Or whisper love, and find us dumb, F orgetful, hedged with servile care!
Oh! let us hold our dear ones close—
Closer and closer, when they move For no one knows Beyond the veil! The preciousness of human love! —James Buckman.
