THE RECORD.

St. Gertrude's College Annual Concert Saturday night, 7th. inst., was the occasion of a most entertaining concert at St. Gertrude's College, New Norcia. The Convent Hall was literally packed by a very" representative gathering of local people, as well as some of the parents of the pupils. The guest of the evening was His Lordship Dr. Catalan, 0.5.13., who was accompanied by Father Aloysius. 0.S.B.. and Father Boniface, O.S.B. The programme opened with an orchestral ensemble, which presented "A Perfect Day" and the "Intermezzo" from "Cavalleria Rusticana." The violins were L. Ashdown and E. Thomas, accompanied by K. Thomson on the 'cello. These itezns were very enthusiastically received. The second number was listed as a pianoforte overture, by T. Gallagher and L. Baseden, but most unfortunately the latter was too indisposed to take her part, so Dom Moreno came to the rescue. They played Reissiger's "Le Moulin de Roche." Lorraine Baseden was to have played two violin solos, which also had to be cancelled It was with the greatest regret that we learnt of this talented young musician's indisposition. In the recent University examinations she secured first place in the State in Grade I. Violin. and the examiner, Dr. Bainton. said: "This violinist is the most outstanding player I have heard as regards natural ability and achievement." Naturally we were disappointed, but we sympathise. because che was disappointed at not being able

to take part in the concert, for which she practised so painstakingly. The second half of the programme was the presentation of "Hiawatha," on a most lavish scale. It would be well-nigh impossible to give a comprehensive sketch of this play, but one cannot but remark on the excellent standard attained by all the players. It was truly a magnificent achievement from the very first scene, depicting the Indian village, to the closing chorus, "Farewell, 0 Hiawatha." The second scene, depicting "Damen's ( E. Leone) wooing of the Morning Star" (P. Matthews), calls for special mention, as also the "Wooing of Minnehaha" (M. Leone) by Hiawatha. L. Ashdown, who played the latter part, gave a splendid performance and her singing was of a very high standard. D. Bianchini is also to be congratulated on the pleasing way she played her role as Relator. All the girls merited the unstinted applause accorded by those present. But while congratulating them, we are perforce reminded of the part played by the Sisters. It meant intensive work on their part to bring the girls to such a high standard, and they must have been gratified by the splendid reception given to the perform. ance. His Lordship Dr. Catalan closed the e vening on a happy note by thanking the Sisters and the girls, and exhorting the latter not to forget the high Heals instilled into them at their Alma Mater.

McCabe-Lalor Wedding

IA The Sacred Heart Church was the scene of a very pretty wedding on Saturday, November 16, when Frances May, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mr. J. Lalor, of Mt. Lawler, was married to Oswal Richard, only son of Mrs. E. McCabe, of Perth. The ceremony. performed by the Rev. Father Crowley, was followed with Nuptial Mass. The bride, who entered the church on the arm of her father, was gowned in ivory satin fashioned on long slender lines, with high neck, and the new full sleeves. The beautifully flared skirt, ending in a long train, w hich was built into the skirt at the back, and finishing off with lace godet and a true lover's knot. Her lace edged tulle veil. hand appliqued, was worn cap f ashion, and fastened on either side with a spray of orange blossom. A sheaf of lilies, roses and c arnations corn prised her bridal boquet. She was attended by her two sisters. Miss Eileen and Kath. Lalor. who were frocked alike in pale pink taffeta, with shirred bodices and pleated capes. the skirts being slightly t rained. The hats were of pink straw with a cluster of flowers, f astened on the back. They each carried a sheaf of pink gladioli. The duties of best man and groomsmen were car-

The winners received appropriate prizes, while the less fortunate ones received gifts. distribution. Following the Father Cullen gave a short address. During his short association with the school, he had grown into admiration for the noble work being done, the great devotion of the Christian Brothers to their young charges, and the evident happiness and brightness pervading the establishment.

greement to Differ

It seem that the Rev. Iona regard coat -trailing as an indifferentlyWilliams is commencing to amusing pulpit pastime. His recent attempts, in the Press, at publ ic exegesis have evoked feelings of very doubtful unanimity. Abs tracting from the disedification given to the members of his own communion, he has amused the wrath of another set of Bibl tion has ;)een taken to Mr. Williams' e commentators. Excepassertion that Jesus "seems tc have regarded Himself as a Prop het of God," and to airy references to the Sacred Scripture as a fables. A public challenge to debate collection of myths and clined in a manner which can only these matters has been debe described as facetioesly weak. Apart from the fundamental and intrinsic interest in these doctrines, it should be noted that the view s of Mr. Williams, which are supposedly "advanced." are actu ally retrogressive to a very early stage in Christian history. But at that period, his confreres. Nestorius and Arius, had but one form idable adversary—the Catholic Church. Many subordinate issues arise out of the most puzzling lies in the ques of this local conflict. One tion of why a man who denies most of the fundamental Christian princ maining on the Christian platform. Che iples, yet insists on resterton speaks of this penumbra of cowardice where a man has not the courage to come into the full light of Christian trt.th, and yet deep shades of pagan despair, but rema dares not retire into the neither the light nor the heat of Christiains in the penumbra where nity can permeate. Though we disagree entirely with Mr. Will iams, it is a curious fact that, whereas his Christianity is very wea k, strong. Mr. Williams is a better Prot his Protestantism is very dents. The root doctrine of Protesta estant than the Bible stuntism was the alleged right of private interpretation of the Scriptur es, though the continued use of the traditional pulpit would ultim ately ensure that the private interpretations of the minister would not long remain private. In this conflict, Mr. William s stands alone as the chamiiion of private interpretation. This public challenge to debate really stands for the decay of Protestantism. It means that our separated brethren , after 400 years. are beginning to realise that they inest have unity and consistency of doctrine, at least on fundamentals. Yet. according to the non-Catholic philosophy, the views of Mr. Williams should be as tenable as the views of the Bible students. The genuine Protestant might rightly construe a publ a piece of "Papist" arrogance, arising ic challenge to debate as from a totally intolerant view that one's religious views were righ This brings up the other matter of t and better than another's. Bible students are virtually claiming religious authority, for the a right to impose their viewpoint polemically. The need of unity and of authority , which speaks so clearly in this issue, is the unconfessed death struggle of the old Protestantism. They must look about for new prin tiples and new slogans. Yet what in the logical mind of man Prevents them from examining Catholici sm, enless it he the dread fear that, after all, Rome may be righ t? The doctrine that one could live Bible as by the sole rule of faith, is the full Christian life by the so broken down that it cannot tong survive. Just as the civic life of the State could not adequately be conducted merely by refer ence to statutes and by-laws, so neither, it is becoming obvious, can the spiritual lives of Christians be full and complete by isolated reference to a book, even to the Inspired Book. There is. moreover , Christ to support this view. He refers nothing in the life of always to authority—His own and that of His Church. "As the Father hath sent Me. I also send you." His last commission to His Apostles is one of teaching; their apostolate is to be one of the living voice. It is sheerly incredible that God should have left the world His inspired words and at the same time neglected to make provision for the certain and consistent interpretation of their meaning. The Protestant doctrine has always been unconsci ously slighting to the Wisdom of God. Yet, at this season of peace and of goodwill, we pray that our separated brethren may find about the Manger that same unity which Christ asked for His Church of the Father on the night before He died.

'They speak by Silences"

The morning press, during the week, publ ished portion of the Holy Father's address to a Consistory of the Sacred College of Cardinals. The Pope's words were preceded by the remark that "the Pope failed to make his expected pronounc ement on the ItaloAbyssinian conflict." This makes strange reading in the light of the Papal pronouncement that follows. For the Holy Father himself indicates the fallaciousness of this same charge. "All that could justly and immediately be expected of us in regard to the conflict . . . we have already made known on several occasions. Our words have been so widely published that they must come to the notice of those asking the truth of us." It will remain an eternal puzzle why the press. which allegedly lays such store by fairness and free speech. pretends to ignore somethin g which is at least as plain as the nose on the face. Charity forbids the suggestion that the press does not want to believe that Rome has made the earliest and most unequivocal statements on the conflict

NORTHAM NOTES

His Grace the Archbishop was the guest of Father Reidy during the week. The annual school concert took place last week. The function was very well patronised, and should give the Sisters great encouragement for their efforts. The children showed that great pains had been taken in preparing the various items, and they acquitted themselves very well. It was a fitting conclusion to the year's work. The Feast of Christmas is now very close at hand. and we would like to remind our readers of the

The Catholics ot Katanning enjoyed a spiritual treat on the evening of -ht opening of the Mount B irke: Church, when His Grace Archbishop Prendiville paid them a visit and preached an eloquent and instructive sermon on the Church, followed by the Papal Blessing. after which, His Grace gave Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. It is to be hoped that His Grace will favour this parish frequently; he may always depend On an open welcome and an appreciative congregation. The schools have closed for the summer holidays. It is a trifle quiet without the happy voices of the children. Rev. Mother reports a very successful fete held at the Convent Assembly Hall. Congratulations! The prize packet scheme. which has been in operation foi some time, closes on Sunday next. The drawing of prizes will take place on that night. so that all prizes may reach the winners before Christmas. On Sunday night last, an enthusiastic welcome was accorded to Mr. edwards. President of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul. A meeting was held in the School room after devotions. and a local

branch was formed, with Mr. F. Cruickshank as president. Mt'. H. Purkiss as vice-president. Mr. D. O'Leary treasurer, ana Mt. J. Tanner as secretary. Great things are expected of this Society; the young men of the parish are making their initial effort at orgam. sation, hut the appeal of the Society is to old and young alike. and an increased membership is earnestly desired. A special word of congratulation is due to the choir for the beautiful rendering of the Mass on Sunday last.

Clemenceau and the Abbot How the "Tiger" Became a Friend of the Monks HISTORIC EVENT

REV. BROTHER BRENDAN. On Saturday, 7th. inst., to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of his entering the institute of the Marist Brothers, a complimentary banquet was tendered to the Rev. Brother Brendan, of St. Patrick's Oullege, Sale. His Lordship Bishop Ryan was unr able to attend, being absent at Melbourne for an ordination ceremony. In the morning he had visited the college for the purpose of congratulating Brother Brendan. The clergy were well represented. Rev. Father O'Donnell. Adm., Rev. Father Walsh, and Rey. Father Bolger being present. Other visitors were Mr. 1'. Cullinan, Dr. Ilagenauer, Mr. J. tinkles, president of the old boys, and Mr. G. Donoghue. The toast of the evening, that of the jubilarian, was proposed by Rev. Father O'Donnell, and supported by Rev. Brother Placidus, on behalf oi the Brothers, and Denis Phelan on behalf of the boys. Father 0.Dormell spoke in glowing terms of the subject of the toast, pointing out that a record of fifty years with the Brothers was one of which anyone might be justitiably proud. Brother Brendan had tilled many positions in the ranks of the Brothers, including that of Pro vincial. In all of these., the influence e xerted by him was growing in everwidening circles as his ex-pupils made their presence felt in public life. Brother Placidus paid a high tribute to Brother Brendan as a religious. His attention to the least details of rule was an inspiration to all who witnesbed it. Denis Phelan then made a suitable presentation to the jubilarian. In responding, Brother Brendan thanked the speakers for their flatter ing remarks, and gave an interesting account of his doings with the Brothers. His remarks embraced a per. iod of fifty years, and carried him from one side of Australia to the other. The other toasts proposed and responded to were those "Alma of Mater," "The Clergy." "The Boys." and "The Visitors." Mr. Urvkles, on behalf of the old boys. and Mr. nan, on behalf of the visitors, offered their felicitations to Brother Brendan. Musical items, interspersed with the toasts, helped to make the evening a most enjoyable one. Rev. Brother Brendan has many friends in the West. He has been twice attached to St. Tldephonsus' College. New Norcia. On the occasion he was Director of the College. On behalf of his many ex-suit-tents and Wends.

Dom Joseph Chautard, Abbot of the "1 rappists ul Sept Funs, Bourbonnais, France, and visitot to the Trappists in America and the Far-East, has died at the age of 78, in the fifty-11inch year of his religious life. Ile had been abbot for 39 years and a priest for 52. The funeral services. held at Sept lions, were attended by six tlishups and a number of Trappist Abbots from France, Holland, Belgium and Palestine. Because of his exceptional sacerdotal and religious virtues, his austerity and apostolic zeal, Dom Chautard, writes M. Massiani, took his place in the line as successor to the great monks who made the Church illustrious in the Middle Ages. No mind w as more open than his to all progress provided it was compatible with the rules of his Order. However, the fact that he was known to the public as a whole was due especially to his r elations with the late M. Clemenceau, Prime Minister of France. He had dared to confront the "Tiger" in his lair and, as a result, became his liferliong friend. Dom Chautard's father h,ad been one of Clemenccau's -associates in political campaigns. Neither had much regard for religion. When Combes began his war on the Orders and Congregations and imposed upon then, the obligation of petitioning Parliament for authorisation, —Clemenceau was chairman of the Senatorial Committee that examined the briefs submitted by the contemplative Orders. A Famous Interview. The convert son of Clemenceau's comrade, the son who had become an Abbot of the Cistercian Order, did not hesitate to go s traight to the chairman. Later he gave the following account of the interview: "It was in 1903, in the famous library on the Rue Franklin. With respect to our request for legal authorisation, he began by exercising his bewitching persiflage on the subject of monks celebrating their offices without anyone assisting at these and the fact that they pursue their studies without a view to the apostolate. He gave himself over to this with a happy heart. "Under these redoubled blows, feeling my inadequacy to cope

Suddenly, after having prayed to God, I interrupted h int to protest violently against this flood of despicable raillery against the ideal of my life, and I forbade him to continue, threat riling to depart, my heart wound'd by this violation of the hospitality which he had seen fit to offer me. '"Then why,' he asked. 'did you become a monk and not a missionary. for example, since you have the temperament for t hat ?' " shall answer.' I said. 'only on condition that von promise not to interrupt me.' Clemenceau Comprehends. "He promised. I launched upon my attempt to prove that the Eucharistic is. because of its institution by Him Whom he had told me he considered the Superman, surpassing all other men, the basis of Christian life. From this fact I drew that the Sacred Host should have a guard of honour destined especially to encompass the Sacrifice of the Altar. jealous of keeping alive the graces of Communion, and of returning thanks by an austere and hidden life, in union with the Crucified Divine. "When I stopped, almost exhausted after about a half-hour of vehement words, Clemenceau caught hold of me vigorously— not my hands, but my wrists— and shaking off his importance, exclaimed: " 'Tell that to the Senate Committee which must pass on your legal authorisation. Tell it with the same ardour. I have comprehended the ideal of a monk and I understand why, when one is sincerely so, one is proud to he a monk. A French Parliament does not have the right to turn out of doors true monks who, in their cloisters, remain aloof from politics. Beginning with to-day, consider me your f riend.'" A Man of His Word.
