A Half Century s Labour
On Thursday the 12th inst. one of the most distinguished functions that has been solemnised in England since the Reformation, took place when the Church attached to the historic abbey of Downside was consecrated. The ceremonies occupied six and a half hours, commencing at 7.30 a.m. anu concluding at 2. p.m. A large and distinguished gathering, including two Cardinals, seven Archbishops, 12 Bishops, 14 Abbots, the Lord Mayor of London and many prominent members of the laity, participated. In all, 19 altars were consecrated. Certain privileges were specially conferred by the Holy See to mark the occasion, the most outstanding being the elevation of the Church to the dignity of a Minor Pasilica a hi2-h honour seldom conferred. The Holy Father himself chose Cardinal Seredi, the Benedictine Prince-Primate of Hungary to perform the ceremony. Cardinal McRory, Primate of All Ireland, consecrated an altar to his martyred predecessor in the See of Armagh, Blessed Oliver Plunket whose body is enshrined close to the altar.

The Downside Basilica Nvhicil has been building for 50 years and Is now complete adds the last link of perfection to -the famous Somersetshire Abbey which was bounded at Douai, Flanders, under the patronage of St. Gregory the ureat in 16U5 by the enerable John Roberts, first prior and some uther English monks who had reeived the habit and taken vows in the Spanish Benedictine Con-
the finest Gothic specimens in England, and is privileged to contain the body of the Irish martyr.dishop, Blessed Oliver Plunkett. The modern importance of Downside may be guaged from the fact that about half the monks are engaged in over 20 missions or parishes - in various parts of England, which are dependent on the monastery. Besides the school atached to the monastery, Downside has also two other schools, at Ealing. London, and at Gorey, Co. Waterford, Ireland; a house of studies for its monks at Cambridge University and another for students in London, near the British Museum.

T.hese were, however, satisfactorily settled by a Bull from Pope Urban VIII. The characteristic feature of Abbey's work has been that education of the English Catho'' gentry which has been conucted

Since that time the establishment has increased steadily in size and importance, new buildings being added in 1823, 1853 and almost continually since 1870.

To mention but two of their many erudite monks, Bernard lillathorne, first Bishop of Birmingham, and Cardinal Gasquet, have made important contributions to ascetical and historical research.

An important contribution to letters is the "Downside Review" It is devoted chiefly to local, monastic and liturgical interests, and contains many articles of value. The Abbey has taken a prominent part in the revival of polyphonic music whien is indicated in the "Downside Masses' and Downside Motets." A similar interest in Christian art "Downside the is shown in Prints"—a series of small devotional pictures reproduced from Attached to :ancient masters. the Abbey are the titular Abbacies of Glastonbury and St. Alban's, and the Cathedral priories of Canterbury, Bath, Coventry, :and Norwich.

1HE RECORD.
Melbourne Catholics tight Birth Prevention Clerical and Lay Deputation Waits on Iremier On Tuesday the Rhn nist a deputation representing Melmourne Catholic societies waited upon the Victorian Premier, Mr. Dunstan, and supported the proposed legislation relating to birth control. The deputation, which was introduced by Mr. Cleary, MA..A., suggested provisions for insertion in- the measure. The speakers were Rev. R. McCarthy, S.J.. spiritual director o f the Catholic Pharmaceutical Guild; Rev. B. McGrade, spiritual director of the Catholic Women's Social Guild Mr. J. H. K enned.y, Grand Secretary of the H.A.C.B. Society, and Mr. T. M. Burke, representing the Australian Catholic Federation. These said that. as representatives of the Catholic community. they desired to protest against all forms of activities relating to birth prevention. and to support the Government in its proposed action to bring in the necessary legislation in an attempt to prevent them, them. particularly the indiscriminate salt and display of contraceptives and the circulation of literature relating to them. The various speakers submitted the following proposals for inclusion in am- meas_ure brought before Parliament :—The prohibition of hawking from door to door, selling in the street of public place, or from private houses: the prohibition of sample distribution : the prohibition of selling or advertising,- the .saft of contrarentives from post office. telegraphic or code addresses, and the nrnhibitirm of the rtisnlav of con-
traceptives. As Catholics they were strongly against any recognition of the restriction cf births. They strongly threw their weight behind the Government in objecting to the blatant methods adopted to advertise the practice so extensively. They pointed out that in twenty-three States in America laws had been passed prohibiting the sale of contraceptives to juveniles. and limiting their distribution to qualified medical practitioners. Any methods that could he adopted to restrict the spread of this moral poison had their strongest approbation. They held strongly that birth prevention was either directly or indirectly murder, and therefore it followed that they held that anyone who participated in the distribution of goods that would assist birth, preyention was an accessory before the fact. The Premier's Reply. The Premier said be appreciated their co-operation and the views they had expressed. He recognised the evil effects that the sale of such goods had upon the community, spiritually. morally. mentally and physically, and he thought that legislation to prevent birth prevention was long overdue. The views they had placed before him were moderate and reasonable, and he thought they could be embodied in the proposed legislation. It was necessary for the Government to take early and drastic action. and their views would he placed before Cabinet.

Ike Memory of Dr. Dolifuss Anniversary Day in Vienna. Over. 100,000 people, representative of every strata of Society in Austria, gathered on the Heldenplatz, Vienna, on the first anniversary of the murder of Dr. Dollfuss, in a great national tribute to the late Chancellor. Military detachments were on parade and workers from the Government services and every commercial interests in Vienna marched to the rallying place. On a balcony of the new wing of the Palace sat Cardinal Innitzer. Archbishop of Vienna. with the members of the Government grouped round him. Chancellor Schuschnigg. Dr. DoIlfuss' successor, addressed the gathering. Referring to the differences between Autsria and Germany, the Chancellor said they did not believe in pagan myths, but in the Mysteries of the Catholic Faith. Their belief was m) strong that it compelled them not to ask for reasons when Providence hri aught them bitter t rials. This latter reference to his own recent bereavement in the loss of his wife almost caused the Chancellor to break down with grief.

"It was only in 1921," His Lordship continued, "in the case of Despatic and Tremblay, that the Lords of the Privy Council reversed all the jurisprudence previously followed in the Province of Quebec and decided that the marriage of a Catholic with a Protestant, before a minister of the Protestant sect, valid. is That judgment has caused religious controversies which should not exist, since the question in litigation alone ought to be discussed simply from the juridical viewpoint.'

Science Refutes Manicheism ''A Glorious Servant and a Wretched God " A biological laboratory is credited as the instrument which led to the conversion of Dr. Corey,
head of the Liberal Arts Department of Washington University. The doctor found himself inclined
inevitably to the Church, not in spite of -his scientific prepossessions, but because of them.
" Science itself," the new convert declares, "is teaching us to do precisely what the Catholic Church has long taught us to do —to reject either the doctrine which believes that nothing exists but matter, or the doctrine which believes that they are absolutely distinct from each other. Science is asktng us to believe, just as does Catholicism, the dualistic doctrine which tells us that there- are, to he sure. both matter and mind or soul, but that they are intimately connected." In the first centuries oL Christianity the Church fought Gnosticism. Manicheism, and all the variants which taught that matter simply does not exist, is an illusion of the mind, or that soul and matter are the antagonistic principles of good and evil. Ideas are lastingly enduring and these old errors perpetually recur. In every age the Church has opposed them (writes the "Pilot"). Equally she resists the rank materialism which holds that all of life we shall ever know is on She denies this earth below. that definition of the soul which r educes the spiritual to become , principle of the mere .animating, mortal flesh, living and dying with the body it moves.

Those statements do not employ the vocabulary of scholasticism ! th:ev are not as candidly explicit as facts would

Man is not all soul. His body is an insuperable reality which
obtrudes itself very uncomfortably at times on the intention of
the theorist. The Church does not despise that body, as has been charged against her. How c ould she scorn the precious Temple of the Holy Ghost? She does say that to pamper a thing r aised from dust, destined for d ust, is an error of disproportion, to express sin in terms of philosophy. But the Church faces the fact of the physical squarely, and reconciles it beautifully with t he other fact of the soul. On the side of the spiritual immortal soul—the Church teaches that there is a world beyond this terrestrial sphere, and that to serve that hope we must sometimes deny these clamant bodies of ours. Sometimes, even, we must consent to their deaths. But this attitude is something y ery different from the philosophy which tries to fancy the physical out of existence. And in this "middle" stand of hers, science, as far as it has anything to say on this matter, agrees
that "there is, to be sure, both matter and mind or soul. but

Now there is another as ct of eugenics which its publicists have noted and neglected, but which somof jority of moderns simply do t know or ignore. the maEugenics may be considered as a mattefr of pure irrespective of external conditions, or may be regarded as heredithy d : vt temporary qualities (or taints) caused by favourable ctbiue or favourable conditions of life, excessive nervous strain, unetc. The support for this view is forthcoming from ever-multiplying sources. In 'addition to the general strange,trendd of practical psychology (of the more rational type which really admits a soul) we have a really arresting statement from Bishop Barnes of Birmingham, lecturing to the Eugenics tociety in 1926.--The industrial revolution had within half a dozen generations removed the greater part of our people from the healthy influence of unspoiled nature. Slum life, drugs, artificial pleasures and excitements, migh surely produce germ —weakening. But wa, it not possible that the simple life . . . would be sufficient to breed, even from the feeble-minded, a mentally healthy stock?" This factor of environment should surely merit exhaustive examination especially in view of the confessed incompetence of eugenic writers to state the permanence of hereditary taint in itself. If Sir Frederick Mott's significant suggestion that nature, left to itself,i tends `‘to end or mend a degenerate stock - be entertained, drastic interference with primary r ights to secure a temporary and eventually unnecessary end would be unwarranted from any angle. • It is impossible in so short a space to enter into all the r amifications of this question. We have confined ourselves to the more rational eugenic proposals, omitting altogether the extreme and irrational desire on the part of some to sterilise -chronic paupers and the hereditarily deaf. no much has emerged, that the question of eugencis on its every proposal begs the question of certitude and that the general trend of eugenist thought is to act avowedly on probabilities and majorities. No Catholic nor indeed any other believer in human right and dignity would seriously consider any eugenic proposal not based on certainty. The w hole problem, for instance, of mental deficiency is one,, that is largely -coeval and co-extensive with Industrialism, ah, d as a menace to the State, is of purely modern origin. The ocial charity of our Christian past and the elasticity of the sental structure, absorbed without apparent difficulty any m .es. defectives who could not be cared for by their famili nition de fi , These facts, combined with the difficulty of exactnventional co of -mental deiciency,- and of how far it is • d fervour rather than real, should give pause to the fr enzied 3 , 0" of the eugenists. It is a very terrible r eflection, but enistS that is being forced upon Catholics, that the eug fact least in their language, seem entirely to overlook the with stud that they are dealing with human beings and not w,, about s. cattle. Let them drop that nauseating talk to "'breeding,- -the unfit,- etc. when they are re inSlge it ibsfe7arU men, of whatever physical or mental standards, • age of God. (even the eugenists) are made in the image
At the recently concluded medical conference in Melbourne, Lord Horder took upon, himself the advocacy of s terilisation of the unfit and of legislation regarding it. The same slogans were more recently given out in Perth by Dr. Stang, who claimed that her statements were intended to be provocative and to awaken public thought on the matter. Well the statements of both doctors have been provocative in the sense that they have provoked in Catholics feelings of disgust and dismay that the eminent should be permitted to give public vent to theories as irresponsible as they are unscientific. As for the doctors desiring to provoke public thought that is exactly what Catholics desire, for eugenic position rests upon a mixture of ignorance and bluff which only logical thought can dispel.' But a prior step to instructing the general public is to be sure that the teachers are well informed. We fear that in the case of eugenics, the maxim: - Physician heal thyself - has a great deal more forcible application than many imagine. We shall endeavor to illustrate precisely what scientific support the eugenist position can muster and to indicate the particular menace it constitutes by its essential unsoundness. • • ,• Scientifically, eugenics stands or falls by its ability to prove the proposition that it is possible to forecast with certainty the incidence of hereditary qualities and taints. Its moral and social aspects can only become subjects for discussion when the possibilty of such forecasting is placed before us as an irrefutable scientific fact. Now the whole case for eugenics seems to hang on the worn-out and meagre peg of the Juke case. But one such human pedigree is evidence only of the paucity of evidence and neither it nor a hundred such pedigrees is of any value whatever as a material justification for eugenic intervention. It is not enough to observe pedigrees in the past, we must be able to forecast with certainty. Where human lives and souls ere concerned probability is not enough. Certainty is necessary to every human case. Two stages, each involving a minimum, not merely of investigation but of elapsed time, are essential to the achievement of this certainty. The first consists of direct observation of a number of human generations on an adequate scale. The interference with personal convenience which such a series of observations would involve is a formidable difficulty. The coercive power of the State would not be invoked since resistance to such interference, without the guarantee of fruitful results, would not be unreasonable. However, that may fall out, eugenics in not yet two generations old and its enquiries have been relatively fragmentary in bulk and insignificant in duration. • The second stage, following ,on this lengthy process, is the venture of predicting the incidence of qualities or defects in individuals, of collating such predictions with actual events, and of repeating these predictions and collations until their correspondence approaches 100 per cent. Two clear issues therefore develop. Any eugenic proposals, either of birth-control or of sterilisation are, and will for a long time remain, a colossal begging of the question, the more so as the investigation of human heredity has, at present, no place outside the study. This contention is strongly supported by the views of such eminent biologists as Sir Francis Galton (the originator of the eugenic theory), the late Sir Frederick Mott, Dr. J. A. Hadfield, Dr. F. A. E. Crew and Dr. Henry Devine to name but a few. So, from the strictly scientific viewpoint, sterilisation has so little justiA final word remains to be said because fesses fication that it may be considered as negligible. But in any pro case, it would be sheer impertinence for a scientist (even for get her satisfactory to attack anything which and normal racticable one who -really knew his subject) to decide on eugenic a remedy unless something more p iternative, action.

Tulloch's pointed queries regarding his attitude to the divinity of Christ, is concerned. The reverend gentleman evades thf replies which will brand his teaching as heretical and un-Chtfstian by the ingenuous confession that he has a strong aversion to newspaper controversy though the echoes of his provocative attack on Dr. • Hart-Davies have hardly faded away. But the plain man calls this attitude "squibbing.' the issue. He is not deceived by the preacher's decision to advance a constructive teaching, for it needs but little acumen to realise than any sort of construction is unthinkable without some foundation and the supreme con•struction of Christian truth must especially rest upon astonishingly firm foundations. Nor is the matter made more 13lain by saving that the same house has a variety of foundations, particularlv if one _means that all the unnecessary and unwarranted foundations are destructive of one another and greatly obstructing the full efficacy and • purpose of the one essential foundation upon which the time-honoured House of Truth is built.

For, in a strange way, it is these same non-Catholic sects who to-day are the sentimentalists par excellence, not indeed to any extent in externals but in the grayer and more vital matters of the mind and the spirit. The pivotal distinctions in philosophy between the objective and the subjective in truth have not only been neglected, but have been scarcely noticed. Likewise those primary distinctions which theology makes between "substantial" and ''sensitive" devotion, and between the effective and the affective will. It is open to serious doubt whether the majority of non-Conformist clergymen ever heard of these things. Otherwise how could this meaningless gibbering- about "religious experience" continue? When the Rev. Iona Williams points to the varying temperaments of the Apostles as evidence or justification of contradictions in moral and doctrinal truth. he is simply talking through his hat. A ccording to the press report of the preacher's words he is so hopelessly confused that it would occupy considerable space to nail down each individual aberration. There are, however, two 9utstanding errors which are the root of all the others. The one is this Matter of religious experience, which is rampant in other spheres under the name of individualism and which is philosophically known as subjectivism. This denies the fixed nature of truth apart from the mind that apprehends it. In religious matters, it makes the individual the arbiter of things which art_true in themselves, in-limitable and completely independent orthe personal viewpoint. By this process Protestantism has landed into a m orass where it must respect every view as equally true, even awbere contrary and contradictory. The peculiar feature of this Philosophy is that it suits them to apply it only to religious tr"s m rt,th, though in all consistency they should equally apply it to athematics and the other a priori sciences. From their unwillIllness to pursue their philosophy to its logical conclusion, it is difficult for attitude of their thinking.seci.on in any Charity to construe the other -light than that of stupidity or insincerity. In th,! case of the Bible it should be clear that unless it he infallible, lithe sensç of being inspired by God Christianity and Christ have flom „ ore claim to our spiritual- allegiance than Confucianism and „,thicius or Buddhism and Buddha. 1I he other is the stale attempt to en,lair r istianitY warped root-doctrine as the peak of a spiritual evolutionary process.

Separation andSacrifice Man and Wife ii:nter A dramatic scene of separation and sacrifice, which five years ago sent Alfred Oswald, prominent musician, to the Brotherhood of the Jesuit Order, and his wife to the cloistered. life of a Carmelite convent, \vas re-enacted at the Carmelite community at Baltimore, when Sister Beatrice, the former Mrs. Oswald, took her final vows and drew' .the screen of C armelite renunciation between herself and the world for ever. Prominent in the musical world for many years, Mr. and Mrs. Oswald quietly decided five years ago to devote the remainder of their days to the service of God in religion. According to Carmelite rule, Sister Beatrice was permitted • three final days, after taking her vows, to see and converse with her friends—through an iron Among those who talked .grill. with Sister Beatrice was Brother Oswald. And when the final reception days were over, he returned to Georgetown . Preparatory School, where he is an instructor in music, and Sister Beatrice retired into the recesses of the convent to devote her life to prayer and contemplation. They will never see each other again in life and if they speak to each other it will be through a partition.
Synthetic Human Voice Franciscan's Laboratory Experiments Prove Successful. The study on "Electro-AcouStic Analyses of Speech," just published by the Rev. Augustine Gemeli, the Rector agniticus of the Catholic University of Milan, has called for the fullest approval of scientific men. The learned Franciscan has been interviewed by the "Intereine Review," the official organ Institute of the In for Educative Cinematography, which is, in turn, the agent of the League of Nations in the .field of cinematography. He expressed his ideas concerning the problems of the sound films and cinematography in general. "By way of introduction." Father Gemelli said. "I must mention that at the first exhibition of sound films T published an article in the "Journal de PesYchologie' in which T affirmed that. the talking film would not prove a T was quite mistaken success.
