The historian of the future will find it difficult, perhaps quite beyond his powers, should he endeavour to explain—as he probably will— the maze of contradictory facts, bobbing up like so many hideous, grinning imps, with which contemporary society is confronted. He may have to content himself with a mere chronicle of events, or abnormal psychology is hardly the function of the historian, and there may await, for those who are interested in the "Higher A nalysis." a rich field of investigation. W hilst it would be sheer folly to seek to pierce the future— those purblind eyes of ours are far too unreliable—yet, as Catho• iics, we may face the new yew and find compensation for our worries and cares in the fact that many idols, which in the days of Prosperity had assumed proportions of almost dogmatic grandeur, have now shrunk to littleness—or even to nothingness. It w as taken for granted, tor instance, that Christianity had been left behind in a progressive age. It was even said of the \vonderful nineteenth century that it killed Christianity, and many funeral sermons have been tittered over the deceased.

The Year's Grim Retrospect WHAT THE WORLD CAN HOPE
FOR
(By PAUL BRENNAN). t.:(1, for instance, in Russia. Now pre-war Russia was not a Protestant nation, but it was very much a Protestant experiment— thanks to the sojourns of Peter the Great amongst Protestant nations. He had a predilection for Berlin, and an obsession for Nordic principles, so much so that he determined to organise Russia— to make it Nordic. His cities were modelled on Berlin—and the creation of St. Petersburg signified the advent of the industrial era in Russia. Whatever the predilections and obsessions of Peter the Great, the Russian people certainly faltered and f umbled under the experiment. They were, therefore, easy victims to the Bolshevik usurpation which so soon succeeded the collapse of the Russian armies in the Great War. In July, 1891, Cardinal Manning wrote for the "Dublin Review" a summary of Pope Leo's f amous Encyclical (Rerum Noyarum), which had been presented to the world two months earThe Cardinal's article is lier. now published by the Catholic Truth Society, under the title, "A Pope on Capital and Labour." He wrote: "For three centuries the world has been in revolt against the Church and has thrown off the first principles from which it
sprang; they are: faith, indissoluble matrimony, Christian education, obedience to the Head ot the Christian world. . . ." Much ink has been spilt on the great cleavage which occurred four centuries ago. Catholics will agree with Manning's allusien to it as a "revolt against the Church." Those who are steeped in the Protestant tradition see it as a "glorious Reformation," and point to the wonderful achievements of the Protestant c ountries—commercial greatness — colonial expansion—the industrial era—financial triumphs --big navies, etc. Even Matthew Arnold, writing some sixty-live years ago, permits himself to say that somebody is struck "as anyone may well be struck, with the superior freedom, order, stability, and religious earnestness, of the Protestant nations against the Catholic." One wonders what his opinion would be to-day. The ‘vorld has .altered considerably since those words were written, and now the nations of Protestant culture—far rn.)re so than the Catholic nations—are in desperate straits. The experiment of four centuries ago was one whose main results were the Worship of Success and the relegation of Poverty to a criminal status. Before the Reformation, that is to say, in -

Bethlehem was the scene of the first Christmas, and the place above all on earth to which the world might look with renewed hope at the beginning For from the Birth of Jesus onwards, men have marked of each year. the commencement of each year as another year of the Lord.
Catholic times, and when moreover most of the people were property-Owners in some way, wealth was a factor that was not unknown—it was no novelty. But it wealth was praised, even more By wealth is so was poverty. here meant that which rightly accrued to the gatherer of just gam who wasted neither his time Such a person nor his talents. was an object of respect in. the c ommunity in which he lived. he was nothing in compariB But son with the man who distributed his surplus wealth amongst the -poor. The cleavage in Christendom of four centuries ago destroyed all that. It did more. It raised Success, which had been a virtue, to the absolute and supreme ,the one and only virtue. On the other hand, poverty became ignoble—criminal in fact. Hence we see a philosophy which has lost all conception of the dignity of man. We are told, for instance, that men ditfer in degree, but not in kind from other animals—that the individual has no rights, because Society may deprive him of what it chooses. We are told that because the poor have become degraded, therefore they should not be allowed to raise families, because the children of paupers could not possibly possess the superioi moral and intellectual attributes which are always found in the offspring of the wealthy. These ideas, revolting to a Catholic, result directly trom the new attitude to Poverty that came with the Reformation. The Protestant, William Cobden, writing over a hundred years ago, stated that: "Ihe great, the prominent, the staring, the horrible, and evei durable consequence of the Reformation,- was "pauperism established by law." The Great War of 1914-1918 may be said to be the climax of the Protestant experiment which c ommenced four centuries ago. It w as also the period at which the Protestant tradition collapsed. The stability of those nations, w ho stand for nothing if not for the philosophy of the Reformation, wilted under the strain, and to this year of Our Lord, 1935— seventeen years after the event— they remain rocked to their very f oundations, their confidence shattered----their courage unable to face the task of rehabilation. The war has left them—winner and loser—like a row of ruined and tattered houses in a bombarded village. This is not to mean that the Catholic nations are sound and economically healthy whilst the Protestant nations are stricken. Catholic nations also feel the w orld depression. They are not stricken by it; but, because they have kept their assets well distributed amongst their peoples, they have an inherent strength and vitality quite unknown to Protestant nations, where huge industrial areas—now largely depressed areas—were allowed to develop.

Book Censorship
To the Editor. Sir,—L) attention was called to-day to your article which took me severely to task, and I was requested to reply by a pious Catholic friend. Protestants and Catholics take such different views of liberty that I will not enter into controversy, but I will point out that you totally misunderstood my meanMg. Possibly we are agreed in principle after all! I did not protest against ALL book censorship (as you suppose), but against Dr. Prendiville's published proposal to invest bureaucrats with wide powers of censorship, without also taking the most stringent safeguards against mistakes or abuse of power to ban books. I suggested that before banning a book, the censor should be compelled to get an order of the High Court of justice after a public trial as a precaution against abuse or mistake. That is allI said Your anand that is all I meant. alogy of a dangerous drug is very apt. BeIt illustrates my point exactly. fore a substance can be declared such, the regulation so declaring it has to lie on the table of both Houses of Parliament—either of which may disallow it. This is a precaution against abuse of bureaucratic powers—and a much needed one. Similar stringent precautions are needed to prevent abuse of powers of book censors. At least that is the opinion of the great bulk of your Now, non.CathoIic fellow citizens.

Pozieres Hero Passes DEATH OF
SERGEANT
One of the must outstanding of Victoria \ \ estern Australia's Cross winners, Martin O'Meara, died at Claremont on Friday last. The late Mr. O'Meara was born in King's County, Ireland, in 1885. Although the date of his coining to this State is not known, records show that he was engaged in timber cutting before he enlisted for service on August 19, 1915. He went overseas with the 16th. Battalion, A.I.F., aui As a served with it in France. wounded private, he was in France on August 13, 19W. but rejoined his unit within a few weeks. His bravery in September of that year resulted in his being awarded the Victoria Cross. During four days of heavy fighting at Pozieres he showed most conspicuous bravery., He repeatedly went out and brought fo safety wounded officers and men from No Man's Land under intense artillery and machine gun tire. As a volunteer, he also carried up amunition and bombs through a fierce barrage to a portion of the trenches which was heavily shelled. He showed throughout an utter contempt of danger and undoubtedly saved many lives. Early in 1917 he was again wounded and on August 30, 1918. he was promoted sergeant. On his return to this State he was in ill-health, which persisted up to the time of his death.

PERTH, SATURDAY, DECESIBER 28, 1935.
The Hopes of the New Year It is a sad necessity in our times to be constantly renewing thoughts and beliefs, especially in regard to Christian origins, which have become confused and almost obscured by the secular outlook. No illustration could be more apposite in this regard than the modern attitude to New Year's Day. Catholics, from time to time, are startled to remember that New Year's Day should have no secular significance, since it is purely a Christian Holy Day, commemorating the Circumcision of Our Lord, eight days after His Birth. From another viewpoint, however, history has, For the observance of the in this case, recoiled about itself. Feast of the Circumcision in the early Church was made almost impossible on account of the orgies connected with the Saturnalian So, even in festivities, which were celebrated at the same time. our day, the sacred character of the Holy Day is interfered with by the secular and pagan spirit which celebrates the New Year as a holiday and in many instances with rites little superior to those of the pagan Saturnalia. The Feast of the Circumcision shows forth in a remarkable manner the charity and the humility of Christ. In order to give mankind that personal inspiration which was to defy all barriers of space and time. Our Lord voluntarily chose to become, in all respects save sin, like to other men. So, He was born according to the natural processes. And in every particular He wished to fulfil the Mosaic law. Though not bound by the law, His ineffable charity moved Him to submit to the humiliating rite of circumcision, wherein He first shed His blood for mankind, received the sacred name of Jesus, and bore in His body the stigma of the sins which He had taken upon Himself. Our Lady, too, has a particular place in this Feast. In the early Church the Mass in her honour was sometimes said on this day, and to-day, both in the Missal and Breviary, the prayers have special reference to the Blessed Virgin, setting forth her privileges and extolling. her wonderful prerogatives. • * . But the This, then, is the spiritual aspect of New Year. world generally has long forgotten it, and present world conditions eflect the consequences of that oblivion. The old year, in retrospect, closes with the grim reality of the outbreak of the African war and the new year opens ominously with the threat of an international conflict in the Mediterranean. But so far as Catholics are concerned, one glittering beacon of hope penetrates the turmoil of the moment. The Papacy- has assumed an importance, in the eyes of the non-Catholic world, which it has not claimed perhaps, since the Reformation. Men of all classes and shades of political and And religious opinions are looking to the Pope for leadership. the great Pontiff who rules in the See of Peter has not failed the world. Long before the European situation came to a head, the Then followed Pope warned the world of impending danger. the inspiring peace triduum at Lourdes. Since the outbreak of the war, when the nations have talked only of political and diplomatic measures to ensure peace, the Holy Father has persisted in reminding the nations that peace was not merely a passive, external thing, but a disposition of the mind and heart springing from supMen speak of sanctions, but the Catholic ernatural motives. Church proclaims more basic things called prayer and justice and charity. * The personal and exclusive hope of the Catholic world at this moment should lie in the crusade of Catholic Action. There is manifest everywhere an air of expectancy, of a great forward movement of the combined clerical and lay ranks of the Church to restore all things in Christ. In our own small sphere the germs of activity are springing into life. The last half of the fading year has witnessed an astonishing development in Church extension. More churches and schools have been opened in the past six months than in many previous years. At least two study groups of Catholic doctrine have come into existence. The ranks of the Catholic societies are being consolidated and extended, while in some there is a vigorous movement to recast the main emphasis on to the spiritual. So that, amid much that is depressing and discouraging in the outside world, in the domestic circle of our own household there is heartening evidence of vitality and revival. Still, much remains to be accomplished. Many opportunities are at hand, which will readily be seized upon by un-Christian executives unless Catholics are first in the field with zeal, holiness and ample intellectual equipment. These, then, are the hopes we may cherish for the New Year, and their realisation rests both on inThat these hopes may be horn dividual and collective action. and actualised is our New Year wish for all our readers.

at present, I felt a fellow sympathy, though his line was slightly different from mine —he was delivering lollies. In the days of my blissfully ignorant youthI thought it would be the most glorious thing on earth to be the owner of a lolly shop; with a few moderate improvements on that thought. I often still think it, but in future when thinking along those lines, my mind's eye will conjure up the lolly deliverer at Xmas-time. We say so much about the postman, and rightly too, but he isn't groaning under the weight of what he's bringing to me so far, and it was different with the lollyman. I knew a good bit of his burden was going to be demolished by people like

the Wet Blanket and other innocent ones with innocent faces, like myself, lor instance, but the part about the gentleman that I liked best was the gallant restraint he put upon his natu• ral feelings when I handed back the docket saying. 'I wish you a hi ppy Christmas!" I am sure if he had given way to himself he would have thrown the whole ten items on the (locket at rne giving me the hollypaper-covered-donation to finish me off, but instead, he grinned, a most beautiful, perspirey, dash-these-blooming-holiday-farce grins, and perching his lead pencil at the back of his ear, retreated saying: "B'lime, a man has to sweat to get it these times!"

Important. The Royal Schools of Music have ceased to conduct examinations below The Diploma in Australia. In deciding to conduct examinations for Teachers' and Performers' Diplomas the Board felt that it would still be of value to the musical profession in this country to have available a professional qualification issued with the authority of the Royal Schools, the L.R.S.M. being the only Musical Diploma open to candidates overseas which has behind it the status and dignity conferred by the Royal Charters, under which The Royal Academy of Music and The Royal College of Music are constituted.
