Archbishop Downey Exposes Christian Science
Functions of Doctor and Priest Confused NO PLACE IN THE CHRISTIAN MINISTRY The Latholic attitude to the modern vogue vaguely described as "Spiritual Healing" was expounded by Archbishop Downey in a sermon to Catholic medical men in the Liverpool Pro-Cathedral recently. His Grace's words are invested with an added importance by the recent propaganda for Christian Science that has appeared in the evening Press. Dr.- Downey described "the "Spiritual Healing" vogue as part of the general reaction away from the Materialism of the 19:h. century. ,'Ihere never was a ministry of helping in the Church at all," said His Grace, -and there is nothing in the New :festainent to indicate that Christ es tablished such a ministry." Our Lord's miracles were apologetical in character, as also were the miracles of the Apostles. Throughout the ages, he continued, many Saints had possessed the power of healing, and possibly there were men and women who possessed it to-day, but it had never pertained to the official ministry of the Church. The efficacy of the Sacraments, of prayer and of .pilgrimages in restoring bodily health was within the experience of all, said DrDowney, hut the functions of the priest and the doctor must not be confused. The priest's business is primarily with the soul; bodily healing is in safe hands when left to the medical profession. A fter declaring that there was nu three. ,ontact between the provinces of science and religion, and consequently there could not be either conflict on the. one hand or coalescence on the other, Archbishop Downey said the present tendency towards fusing the functions of the two was strikingly illustrated in the vogue enjoyed by what vas vaguely described as "Spiritual Healing.' The movement, he said, was doubtless part of the general reaction away from the materialism of the 19th. century, and it had become sufficiently widespread to merit serious attention. Inconsistencies. The advocates of Spiritual Healing, said Dr. Downey, were of many schools. In the first Place there were those who assured us that they were striving to bring about the restoration of the Ministry of Healing which existed in the early Church, but had since fallen into abeyance. " They take their stand on the XIIth. Chapter of St. Paul's first epistle to the Corinthians," said His Grace, "in which the Apostle describes the various spiritual gifts enjoyed by Christians at that time, and among'st them 'the grace of healing in one spirit.' If the exponents of this view Were consistent they would seek to revive also the ministry of div,erse tongues, and of interpreta1\.n, and of discerning spirits Which are, according to St. Paul, all ing. fours with the gift of healne‘v‘As a matter of fact there ton er was a ministry of diverse of interpretation, or of gues, or .

exigencies of the times, but cer-t ainly not permanent endowments of the Church of Christ. "In other words, there never was a ministry of healing in the Church at all. No Scriptural Evidence. "The miracles wrought by Christ were apologetical in character. He says: 'If you will not b elieve in Me, believe My So too were the mirworks.' acles of the Apostles. They are called 'signs' because they were motives of credibility. There is nothing whatever in the New Testament to indicate that Christ established a permanent ministry of healing. "Throughout the ages many saints have possessed this power, and possibly there are men and women who possess it to-day, but it has never pertaincd to the offiial ministry of the Church as "There were other exponents," c ontinued the Archbishop, "who
The Bogey of Maternal Mortality QUINTUPLETS' DOCTOR SCOUTS SCAREMONGERS Sensible Words on Motherhood The simple Catholic country doctor, Dr. Allan Roy Dafoe, who was responsible for saying the lives of the famous Dionne quintuplets, has become almost _ as celebrated as the five babies themselves, but he has not allowed his head to get turned. When he was brought to New York he said some very straightforward and sensible things about life there and the wonders :that he was shown, and his articles on "Babies" in a New York publication are a refreshing change from some of the things about babies and their care that appear nowadays in popular publications. In one of these articles he has some wise words on "Motherhood": claimed for themselves all the povers ot healing exercised by uur Lord and Inc Apostles on the strength of the well-known text in the epistle of St. James CV., 14), which in the Authorised \:ersion reads: 'Is any man sick among you? Let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.' "In the Douay Version we read 'priests' for and the text is taken br Catholics to le-. fer to the Sacrament of Extreme Unction. However I think it will be generally conceded that the word 'elders' is not intended to designate people who are innocent of the first principles of both medicine and theology. On what medical or biblical principle this class of faith-healer omits the anointing with oil in the name of the Lord from the treatment is best known to themselves, "It must be admitted that this school is somewhat free and easy in its handling of ,,the text of St. James. The Doctor's Function. "The efficacy of the sacraments and more particularly of the sacrament of Extreme Unction, of prayer and of pilgrimage, in restoring bodily health was within the experience of us all," concluded His Grace. Nevertheless the functions of the priest and of the doctor ought not to be confused. "On a sick call it is the plain duty of the priest to perform his spiritual office and advise the sick man, if he has not already done so, to summon medical aid for the body." The priest's business was with the soul only in a seondary and indirect manner with the body. Christ's Kingdom was not of this world, and bodily healing was in safe hands Nvh en left to the medical profession,

"Of all the cowards about life, the healthy woman afraid to bear children is the most pitiable and the most punished. If only today's wives, otherwise normal, would stop being scared of the best and most natural thing that can happen to them! -Too much can be made of certain widely quoted figures on maternal mortality. -While the problem is getting earnest attention frgim doctors themselves, through their medical - associations in New York and elsewhere, the actual statistics ought not to be printed without careful preparation. "To say, for example, that 15,000 mothers die annually makes the business of having a baby sound pretty dangerous. But this very 'computation is swelled by the inclusion of all the deaths which occurred not while women were trying to have babies, but while they were trying to avoid having them. "It is right to focus attention on measures to safeguard maternity, but too much alarmist talk frightens women. If only they would realise that there is nothing to dread about the natural function of birth! A normal woman, under proper medical care and supervision, should feel no fear of the process. "Probably as much suffering and danger, in the long run, is :xperienced by women who can have children but refuse to have them as by the mothers of the race. Methods employed to ayoid maternity often not only injure health but imperil _life. "Nature, moreover, says that a woman was made to bear. The really dangerous adventure is for her to go against nature, deliberately and of her own free will. for nature has a way of taking revenge. "The woman who can have babies and refrains through timidity should 'take heed lest a worst thing befall.' Her nerves and emotional stability can be so adversely affected that as a re suit she becomes neurasthenic, pathologically irritable, even de ranged. "On the contrary, the woman who brings life into the world, nurses it, cares for it, finds that her whole personality is vitalised and enriched. Having a baby. instead of being a menan.ce to her health and happiness. is the natural stimulation of both."

Correspondence Tu the Editor. Sir,—My attention was called by a zealous Catholic missionary to your article on Rev. Iona Williams' sermon on Communism. It is unfortunate that the same words and expressions appear to convey utterly different meanings to Catholics than that which they do to Protestants. As there was a discussion on that particular sermon after the service. I think I can say with truth that none of Mr. Williams' hearers understood him to advocate Communism, but only to say that Communism was the natural reaction against abuse of the money power. And that appears to be your view; and (unless a mere heretic understands h is Holiness wrongly), the view of Pope Leo XIII. A s I unclesstand Mr Williams doctrine, "Christian people need to be reminded that land, capital and personal qualifications are alike our God entrusted talent to be used to God's glory—neither squandered or locked up but used. A peasant who is not overburdened with tribute can always grow for his own use, and if markets go against him can also find a fair tribute to the capitalist. who financed his operations (in produce). It is the covetousness which Will not be content with a fair thing, a iustum pretium.” which makes 'poverty amid plenty. and revolutions. - This doctrine Mr Williams has taught consistently during his whole ministry. It is unfortunate you misunderstand him.— Yours. etc. R. V. R. P.S. : Catholics and Protestants never will agree on Biblical criticism.

[ 'What Mr. Williams may actuallY have said in his sermon is irrelevant to our article, "Communism and the Cloth." We had only the newspaper r eport to go on. As it stood in the " West Australian." Mr. Williams championed Communism as a religion of service, springing from the most altruistic motives. If these were not Mr. Williams' sentiments, he should have corrected the newspaper report. As for the disparity between Catholic and Protestant Biblical criticism, it would be interesting to know what allegorical interpretation could be read into the texts regarding the forgiveness of sin. It used to be a canon of exegesis that the literal meaning should stand until there was sufficient weight of evidence for an allegorical interpretation. The meaning of the words in these texts is obvious enough.—Ed.

GERMAN OFFENSIVE BEGINS ARRESTS AND RAIDS. Recent cables from London affirm that the secret police in Germany are now beginning the long-expected offensive against the Church and that the first steps in the campaign are intended to damage as far as possible the central organisation and its means of communication. This belief follows the arrest, during the week-end, of Monsignor Bannasch, who is in charge of the Central Catholic Correspondence Bureau, and is one of the leading German Catholics. The arrest was made while he was on an official visit to the Ministry for Ecclesiastical affairs in BerReports are that there is lin. every sign that the arrest is of a political character and not connected with the fiscal offences with which other priests have been charged. Monsignor Banasch's arrest coincided with the commandeering by the police of his offices. Visits were paid to his residence and private letters were read and ,7onfiscated. The police clearly were aware that the correspondence of the whole Catholic episcopate of Germany passes through his hands. Confidential documents regarding conditions in various dioceses were also seized. which is a violation of the guarantees given tw Germany when she signed the concordat with the Vatican. The headquarters of the largest Catholic youth organisation was raided at Dusseldorf by police, who have since remained in the buildril.r. painstakingly reading every document. The general secretary, Father Clements, has been arrested. Father Sirinigen, general secretary of the Dominican Council of Superiors. has also been arrested in Berlin Tn no case has any charm, been preferred. 30,000 CONVERTS YEARLY. More than 30,000 converts a year is the amazing record of the Vicariate Apostolc of Urun di. Belgian Congo. This section is to-day the scene of the greatest mass movement conversion to Christianity. In June. 1932, Christians numbered 78.02 . The figures for June. 1935. are 176.076 Catholics. This advance creates a great problem for the White Fathers, who are in charge of the t erritory. It has been impossible to increase the personnel in proportion to the growing Catholic Community. Although a n ative clergy is being formed, the total number of priests in the Vicariate has increased only by 18 in the same period, from 42 to 60. This figure ncludes both foreign and native priests. As a result, each priest has the care of. almost 3.000 souls.

HUNGARY STRIVING CHECK DIVORCE TO
A ppalling Drop in S een as Motive for Birth Rate Proclaiming Greater Restrictions. Hungary, which for four de. cades has had laws making civil marriages compulsory and divorce comparatively easy, ing in the other direction is veerand the R egent. Nikolaus Horthy, has just publicly proclaimed of greater restriction of the need divorces. En 1895 the compulsory civil marriage law was extorted Emperor Francis Joseph from and the Upper House by the liberal ma;()rity in the House of The demand of Regent Deputies. the first opposition fromHorthy is official circles since that time. It lows a plea made by His folEminence Justic Cardinal Seredi, Archbishop of Strigonia, to the country to cease the destruction of marrage. The change of front on the part of the Government undoubtedly has been influenced by the appallint,: drop in the birth rate in Huni.:ary. The capital.

A seminary established by the Rev. Mucio Cortes in the town of Arnozoc, was shut down by the Federal Office of Hacienda for that district. A committee of 300 citizens went to the city of Puebla to ask guarantees of State officials on behalf of Father Cortes. They also asked for the removal of the head of the municial government.

Deceased had been a long and patient sufferer. and she died in the early hours of November 24, fortified by all the rites of Holy Church.

A Matter of l'olerance
A criticism appeared recently in the morning paper of the Archbishop's advocacy of the suppression of Communistic literature. It was typical of the modern spirit of inanity which clamours for "tolerance." This is supposed to be an extension of the spirit of mental and spiritual liberty which the Reformation allegedly bequeathed to the world. But the actual historical case is somewhat feeble, seeing that the essence of the old Protestantism was the st.ppression of the errors ot .Rome. And the old concept was right according to its lights in that it, at Protestant least, had a clear concept of what is meant by tolerance. The question of tol• trance only arises where the truth or goodness of the matter in question is not, or cannot, be known as certain. Where there is doubt there is room for tolerance. But where facts are irrefutably established there is no question whatever of tolerating the contradictory viewpoint. Our thesis may be made clear by some examples. • • • Even modern scholars admit the truth of the proposition that 2 plus 2 make 4. If any man claims 5 as the total, does the world tolerate his viewpoint? The denial of such axiomatic truth is not tolerated ; it is suppressed, viol.ently if necessary, by the warders of a mental home. or is any man free to tolerate the view that .. vater contains three molecules of oxygen. Truth excludes the toleration of the contradictory. Now this social heresy called Communism denies truths which are almost axiomatic. Everyone can and does know that he may own land or other property absolutely. The State did not invent or endow ownership. It exists in the natt.re of things. Likewise. with the family. Even the shaky though popular conceptions of progressive evolution admit that there were individual men before they banded together into civil society. The family was before the State in point of both tine and authority. It. too, is rooted in nature. ft is the foun•:ation of civil society. The State is a union of families. • • These facts are not the exclusive truths of Christians; they are ournanity's, though the Catholic Church alone defends them with any vigour. NVe have therefore not alone the right, but the duty, to suppress the infiltrations of Communism which is a complete deAial of basic and essential truth The sane man cannot tolerate Commt.nism. though at the same time, he must bear to Communists the spirit of Christian charity. It is the disease and not the v irtims that is the object of our loathing. We do not trust adults with dangerous drugs; we regulate the drink traffic. we cling to a Pure Food Act, yet we are asked to tolerate something which strikes to the very heart of sanity and the natural social order. This is a plea for license rather than liberty. But the poor muddled world has no stomach for distinctions. 'It will keep on prting about "theological casuistry." "Jesuitism." and the "Roma.n inquisition." as if these things did not stand for sanity and liver) and all the right and reasonable things God gave to humanity.
-Let us not always say 'Spite of this flesh to-day I strove, made head, gained ground upon the ,,vholer As the bird wings and sings, Let us cry 'All good things Are ours, nor soul helps flesh more, now, than flesh helps soul!'" It is not relevant to the subject we consider to debate the issue of Browning's Christianity. But from the Catholic viewpoint of the modern fetish of physical culture, the lines we have quoted seem a much more adequate and orthodox expose of the interdependence between man's bodily and spiritual faculties than that propounded by the physical culture experts in our midst. And certain it is that the nearer the soul draws to God the less account it makes of the body. So the saintly French Jesuit, Paul Ghinac, used to claim: "The body is nothing," and the loveable Francis of Assisi termed it. with great good humour, "Brother Ass." • • • On this point. however, many practical-minded Catholics are t wo minds. While they revere the words of the Saints, they have a vague antipathy towards them as towards extremists. Per'as it is so. It is difficult for the ascetical theologian to justify all the "holy follies" of the Saints. But even supposing that the Saints' attitude to the body was one of extreme indifference, neglect or contempt, it was anyhow a fault which leant to virtues's side. It was a sane prejudice. If the Saints scorned the flesh, it was not because they regarded it as evil, like the Manichees, but because they recognised its potentialities of danger. Now the modern physical cultural expert is a real extremist. He doesn't despise the soul because he doesn't believe in it. So far has he strayed from the pagan maxim of "a sound mind in a sound body," that to-day it seems of more account to be strong in the legs than Whereas the Saints were wary of the body strong in the head. as of a source of danger. our type of physical culture expert is blissfully ignorant of the possibilities of the soul as the animating principle of the body. True there is psychology. but even they have somehow forgotten the meaning of the term "psyche." • • • It may he objected that \Nc ha x e set oft against one another, the normal man—the physical culture expert—and the abnormal man—the Saint. The boot is on the other foot. Both were experts; the difference being that the latter viewed life comprehensively, where the former saw it from the same eternally cramped and narrow angle. The Saint knew man for a "body-soul," the corporealist treats him as a corpse. Nor did the Saints propose to govern life with a bureaucracy of compulsion like the moderns. We have been moved to these considerations, in general, by the worldwide mania of physical fitness which obsesses especially the militaristic dictatorships of Europe and, in particular. by the pernicious propaganda of a popelar lecturer in our city. In its organised national form, physical culture has become a genuine menace. The sound body is to become the turbulent tabernacle of a festering watspirit. In its private and extreme forms it has taken to itself someIlis (race the Archbishop re thing of the colour of the philosophy which underlies the modern turned to Perth from Collie on fetish of cleanliness—that a clean collar is really more essential Wednesday. where he blessed than a clean mind.

Gift Sava ay The Sisters of Mercy Tender Their Thanks. Everyone gets a lot of fun out of looking forward to pleasant things. But even when you are very young, the event too otten disappoints you. Such was not the case with Gift Sunday. If the children enjoyed the weeks of excited anticipation, they enjoyed still more the glorious Sunday afternoon itself. Never were youngsters more blissfully sticky at the end of the day. From every point of view, this year's Gift Sunday was a . grand success. The weather was ideal, and a very large number of people wandered over the grounds and building-s, or took a dainty a fternoon-tea. The Clontarf Band was, as usual, a centre of attractidi. The Sisters wish to thank very sincerely all those, who m anifested their interest in the Orphanage and Foundling Home whether by attending Gift Sunday, or by forwarding donations. And they wish to thank especially those ladies and gentlemen whose valuable aid and enthusiasm contributed so largely to the success of the occasion.

Cricket. On Sunday last we commenced a game against I.O.O.F. on the Launceston Ground. Batting first we made 157 runs. Bill Godley top-scored with a brilliantly compiled 57. This young lad batted very nicely and was unfortunate to be run out. Better luck next time, Bill. Captain Scullin, with 27 runs in quick time ancj, brilliant fashion, was second top scorer. I.O.O.F. are 2 for 90, so we will have to put our best foot f orward to win. Matulich has taken 1 for 18 off five overs, and L :wry 1 for 39 off ix overs. Members are requested to be on time next Sunday. Dramatic Club. As a final entertainment for the year, and in order to help the parish appeal, the Club are preparing a concert, to be held in the Club Rooms about the middle of December. • This time we have chosen two one-act plays, which should appeal to all sections of the audience. "The Man in the Bowler Hat." by A. A. Milne, is perhaps the most ambitious piece we have attempted, but the excellence of Milne as a playwriter and the enthusiasm of the members warrant the attempt. It will appeal to the whole audience and the climax will surprise everybody. The other, "The Old Geyser." is lighter, and is a farce concerning the mistaken identities of Dr. Smith, Smith the plumber, and Harry Smith the. suitor, who come to Colonel TiErzs' house at the same time. The Colonel's rage makes good corn edv.
Fremantle C.Y.M.S. On Monday night, 18th. ult., we were, entertained at St. Gerard's Hall by the members of the Palmyra Branch of the C.Y.M.S. The event was the sequel to a similar function conducted some weeks previously, when we were pleased to welcome the members of St. Gerard's to our Club rooms.

A verdict of "not guilty" saved the accused from an ignominious death. To Mr. J. Dowling, as judge, goes much of the credit for making the evening a success. The concealed wit and subtle humour of his summing up was in itself a treat, while the dignity of his manner associated with a majesty of tone, was eminently suited to such an exalted office.

Christmas Limerick Competition Competitors are asked to complete each Limerick by supplying the missing line. If no Competitor succeeds in this, the prize will be awarded to the one whose line is nearest to the original in sense and rhythm. If more than one competitor succeeds in giving the correct line, the prize will be drawn for. Competitors must write the line, their name and address, on this coupon, to which they must attach a stamp or stamps to the value of t wopence. If the attempts are not posted, but handed in to the office, two pennies may be enclosed instead, but if stamps are sent, it is requested that they should not be gummed to the coupon in such a way as to render them useless for service. Envelopes containing the effort must be addressed to Aunt Bessy, "Record" Office, Perth, and bear on. the top left hand the word "Limerick." No Limerick sent in by a competitor who fails to observe these conditions will be recognised. Right Rev. Monsignor Fagan, V.F., will act as adjudicator, and entries for the complete set of Limericks (4) will close on Wednesday, December 18th.

THE EDITOR'S SLEEVE LINKS AGAIN IN POUND. For the third time in twelve montis a pair of gold sleeve links, of considerable value, and belonging to our Editor, has been found between Haystreet and Subiae, Bridge. No less a personage than Princess Elizabeth of Cork was the one to find them last week, ,but Her Royal Highness, being greatly desirous to contribute to the Bushies' Lemonade Bottle and not having the wherewithal herself, having the misfortune to belong to an itnpoverished branch of the royal family of Cork, has asked A.B. to advertise through these columns her strict resolution to stick to the links unless their owner redeems them by sending 5s. to the Bottle. A.B. regrets having to enforce such a condition where her Own Editor is concerned, hut is chary about offending a lady of high degree. and of perhaps tempting her to give the matter greater publicity by inserting her find in the daily press.

If so, then I am due for a Pass in my efforts for the £700, as I have a suspicion of it, but it halts at £450! ! ! AUNT BESSY. Sunny Corner. Dear Aunt Elizabeth—Willie Evergrow seems to think he is the only pebble on the beach just because he thought of wishing you a happy feast on the 19th. November, but I offered up my Holy Communion for you on that day, and I hope you will be spared to be the sunshine of the Page until vou can't see a joke. Mum received the spoons, and while being most grateful to you for your kindness and thoughtfulness in taking care we would not get contagion from using the ones that were in the magpie, she is sorry you went to so much trouble getting gold ones made, as we can taste the brass flavour in our morning tea now, and it's had a bad effect on Willie's inside, because the doctor reckons he is a study for a futurist artist. We heard that you yourself are looking a bit white in the face. No doubt that Wet Blanket has stolen your box off your dressing table. Mum suggested sending you some "Youth," but she didn't know what brand you would like. This is all I can think of just - now —Tour loving nephew, SNOWY BLACK. Dear Snowy —If those gold spoons have got a brass flavour on them, it's because they were made out of a brazen ox, but as the goldsmith who made them charged- me for them at the *gold standard, I did not like to doubt his honesty. I think it is awfully bad taste on your part to throw off at my gift like that, as I suffered a lot trying to get it delivered to you. The velvet case was set up with paste of questionoble age, and unfortunately it had such a bad fish aroma about it that the postal authorities refused to accept it for transmission, so if your little Willie has a black interior now it just goes to show he must have tried to lick the spoon case when your mother wasn't looking, and if she hasn't brought him up better than that I think it most unfair to blame me. I am most grateful, all the same, for yOuF kind - enquiries about my face, but as I don't think it will ever have to pass the Customs again T am not worrying about it. The brand of l'outh that I use is "Perennial," and comes from Tir-na-noge. Its manner of application is so simple. One has simply to wait for an accidental meeting :Oh a person carrying a vessel of juicy vegetables, such as stewed beans, jellied pumpkin, or sliced celery leaves. and if one is. prepared to let the said bearer of such a vessel P--nn+-.• dr: contents ever cre's face, when it is in a FPr!( so-ting, one can certain of not r•-,,c1-r,g. any artifi-i Al colourin,z 1- removing the chalky p ppearnce—tell Mum I said to try it .on vou, because it doesn't seem natural for anyone belonging to her to be "snowy" Thank you very much for your big gift to me on the 19th. — AUNT Bp,Ocy West Australia.

Dear Virgin Mother, our delight Throughout our exile here; In brightest day and darkest night Thy beauty lingers near. 0 fairest flower of all our race! 0 spotless Queen of Heaven! To thy pure maidenhood's embrace. The Infant God was given. Thou, wert conceived immaculate: Tho' bul of mortal birth. God called thee to the highest state Of all who lived on earth. Yet not from sorrow wert thou free. It pierced Thy tender heart. But then, the Spirit's love to Thee. True peace did e'er impart Now from Thy radiant throne above Thy mercy cloth descend. And faithful souls will know Thy love E'en to the world's end Thou wilt be as a shining star To us on Earth's dark way— Guiding our footsteps from afar To the eternal day. —Ncaurice R russen.
themselves have been the cause of the torments they endure. There is not a more troublesome or worse enemy to the soul than thou art to thyself when not at peace with the spirit.—, Imitation of Christ. The power of committing sin will, if we keep from offending God, be the occasion of greater merit for us.—St. Louise de Mariliac. By His ignominies Christ overcame the pride, and by His wisdom the malice of the devil, and with His unarmed hands pierced and nailed to the Cross He has conquered the pride of this w orld. Alas! it is easier to get men willing to go to the ends of the earth and sacrifice their lives in order to preach the Gospel than it is to find people willing to pay the cost of their journey.— Frederic Ozanam. The pure hands of Mary are a precious channel through which God bestows His graces on all His children, of whom she is the Mother. Beg her to have pity on us that in her maternal tenderness she may allow us and the entire world to feel the effects of that incomparable favoor ‘vhich :he has found before col! ober Mary of the Sacred Heart.
