Lunn v. Haldane: A Debate 1 40040-41411--411N4.-4141-141-41411-41
LETTERS ON SCIENCE AND THE SUPERNATURAL Mr. Arnold Lunn—we almost called him the Irrespressible Mr. Lunn—is obviously a born controversialist, and he has specialised in a particular method of controversy, that of an exchange of letters with a particular person on a "particular subject." s Two of these "correspondences' The have already been published. first was with Fr. Ronald Knox; the second was with Mr. Joad. Now we have a third volume, "Science and the Supernatural: A Correspondence between Arnold Lunn and J. B. S. Haldane- (Eyre and Spottiswoode, 10s. 6d. net).

THREE
SOCIAL
PRINCIPLES
special to "The Record," by H. F. B.)
Importance of the Question. Down through the centuries the Catholic Church haS urged a bitter and relentless conflict in the defence of man's most sacred rights and duties. And to-day it is to the same Catholic Church men are looking for a solution of the existing evils besetting society. We have recalled in a previous article the spirit of unrest among the nations, and the revolutionary changes disturbing every people and State throughout the world. Now it remains to set forth the Catholic social principles, wherein we will see the Catholic Church's solution to the difficult problems that face As of each and every nation. old, so to-day, is the voice of the Catholic Church raised in the defence of the rights of the individual. The desire to acquire property is to man not only a sacred right. but constitutes a fundamental instinct in human nature. History itself proves that, where this right of the individual has not been denied. human personality has developed best, for man's true liberty and independence are more realised fully among a of population It was then in proprietors. individual's the defence of right that the Catholic Church condemned most vigorously and in unmistakable terms the tenets of Communism; merciless class warfare, and complete abolition of private ownership. Many do not realise that Communism is a powerful and insidious force here Yet. a: in our own Australia. the last Federal elections, a Victorian Communist polled some 25.000 votes, and barely missed a seat in the Senate of our land. Of Communism as a whole we will speak ra ter: what concerns us now is the challenge flung in our faces by these Communist agitaBy these, man is being tors.. robbed of a sacred right, but as far as the Catholic Church is concerned. that sacred right will be defended. for She is the fearless. unflinchink champion of man with his sacred rights, duties and obligations.

Furthermore, the ownteaches that God, Who alone has er is bound, at least under an obsupreme ownership of temporal ligation of charity, to distribute 0-oods has ordained them to the some of the goods he does not use of all. Moreover, it is natuneed to the poor and needy.

Ling torwarct their theories, forget that absorption by tli tate of productive property would merely rob the people of all enthusiasm and energy tor their work, and would result in envy, jealousy and discord. What interest would a farmer take, for example, if he knew that his individual possessions were to become the common property of all, and the fruits of his toil were to be administered by the State or by municipal bodies? Apart from Divine Revelation, the study of man's nature and the consideration of the public good, history itself proves the necessity of the right of ownership. Present throughout the whole course of history, this claim of man cannot be an arbitrary invention, since such a universal phenomenon postulates a universal and permanent cause, and this cause can only be human nature with all its wants and inclinations. So strong and convincing are these arguments i'nat. as the present Holy Father says. "it seems amazing that some now should be setting up , anew

Precise Meaning of the Right of Property. Man has an inborn or con genital right to acquire 19) occupation. labour, or otherwise the cr.\ nership of material goods. The right to possess private property.- says rope Leo XIII., "is derived from nature. not from man: and the State has by no means the right to abolish it. but only to control its use and bring it inn-. harmony with the interests of the public good." By ownership is meant the right to dispose of a thing as subect to one's self. and to exclude others from its Everyone has a right to use. use the goods of nature for his need:. but this does not imply that any individual has a right to the ownership of a particular good. for the actual ownership of a particular property does not come directly from nature. but some contingent fact. as occupation. inheritance. labour. etc Hence we may say that-by a natural. inborn right to acquire property is meant. that it is a natti-

"Man,.•
says Pope Leo X.111., "precedes the State, and possesses. prior to the formation u. any State, the right of providing for the sustenance of his body. Now to affirm that God has given the earth for the use and enjoyment of the whole human race is not to deny that private property is lawful. For God has granted the earth t o mankind in general, not in the sense that all without distinction can deal with it as they like, but rather that no part of it has been assigned to anyone in particular, and that the limits of private possession have been left to be fixed by man's own industo , and by the laws of individual races." Hence we see from the teaching of the Pope him§elf that the Christian concept of private property includes but the exclusive right of dominion and the control, production, or exploitation It and distribution of goods. does not include, as so many maintain, the exclusive right to This latter the use of them. right is strictly limited and cannot be exercised without due consideration of the needs of Although man has the others. right to private property, this right cannot validly countervene the fact that the earth and its goods were bestowed by Almighty God for the use of all, so that the excess of. property should be used to catisfy the needs of those in want. ,
Lit d me re‘ elation
or God to give to man this claim to ownersnip, that anyone can teach or hold the contrary doctrine. Our iiivine Lord did not abolish the seventh and tenth Commandments, but inculcated them anew, thus implicitly, at least. proclaiming the individual's right to ownership. The same principle is confirmed and enforced by the civil laws, to which the authority of the Divine law adds its sanction, forbidding us in severest terms even to covet that which is another's. Not only does Divine r evelation proclaim this right of man, but man's very nature demands it. Pp; cultivating land man is said to become owner of the unoccupied land. If his say; ings are invested, his investment falls to him as his own. Moreover, man must provide by labour for his needs. but he cannot work without material goods to exercise his labour on. and so, if this is denied him. man loses his independence, becoming a slave to the State. Not only for himself must man labour, but he is personally responsible for the upkeep of his family, a home and the future of his children fall to his obligations. These can only be secured if he has productive property. The Socialistt. in put-

She was farewelled by a large number of her old association friends at Fremantle. Nedlands Night of Pleasure. One of the most successful social gatherings of recent months was that held by the Nedlands club on New Year's Eve. Under their electrically lighted courts a most enjoyable tournament was conducted. This club has come good with their present committee and enthusiastic members. If the present indications are upheld this club will in the very near future be in the forefront of the other metropoltan clubs. The secretarial reins are being held by an experienced campaigner in the person of Mrs Sutcliffe. Tasmanian News. Miss Mary Valle writes from Tasmania to the effect that the Tasmanian carnival was a wonderful success and a marvellous social attraction. This delegate is in raptures over the beauty and scenery of the apple island and of the great organization displayed by the Rev. Father Kent in the running of the carnival. Over two hundred and fifty inter-staters met to renew the struggle for the shield and to he re-united in friendship's happy arena. Many of the old stagers still secure the leave to be present at these annual .re-unions. Hobart was graced by \the presence of such stalwarts as Geo.

For the second occasion in the history of the Australian Council, Mr. Geo. Scantlebury, of Adelaide, adorns the presidential chair.

"Heaven at present is out of sight, but in due time, as snow melts and discovers what it lay upon, so will this visible creation fade away before those greater splendours which are behind it and on which at present it depends." The modern world is full of speed and noise and bustle. Here and there, now and then, it may be lulled into quietness by the enjoyment of beauty, in painting, perhaps, or poetry, in nature or in music. But earthly beauty is no better than an opiate to the restless spirit of man. Its effect is not lasting; soon the aimless tossing begins over again. For the world pays no heed to the Physician's voice; instead it nurses its malady.

The recently completed half year may be classed as one of the most successful since the inception of the branch. The admittance of twentyfour new members has increased our members to sixty-nine, all of whom take an active interest in the Society. Though this total seems small for such a parish as Fremantle yet it is but six short of our record total of seventy-five in the 1931-2 season. But as the active membership at that time fell far short of the present numbers, it may be claimed that in point of strength of numbers the branch has reached its peak during the term under review. According to our constitution the objects of the Society are "to promote the religious, intellectual and social welfare of the members." That the committee have endeavoured to cater for the members along each of these lines has in no small measure been the reason for the branch's prosperity. An outline of activity under these three headings is given below.
(a) Religious: Of prime importance under this heading are the Quarterly Communions which have been well attended by the members. Each quarter has been included in our syllabus a "Religious Queries Night," when the chaplain, Rev. Father Ryan. 0.M.I., has given invaluable assistance. The importance of this interesting and instructive syllabus item cannot be over-stressed. (b) Intellectual : Lectures, I )ebates, Impromptu and Prepared Speaking are the means employed to promote the intellectual welfare of the members. The revival of interest in debating during this term has been a particularly pleasing feature. A good deal of talent is now evident in this direction as was proved by a recent victory over the branch. The impromptu Perth speech night held last Thursday was enthusiastically entered into by the members and brought forth several fine efforts. That our lectures proved a success can be gauged from the large attendance which such a syllabus item attracts.
greater success last year. This sub-committee also conducted a ladies' night and other socials in their usual efficient manner. Before passing on to the sporting aspect of the branch, a special word of thanks is tendered to the lady helpers who assist at our dances or at any time when called upon for aid. To them is due in great measure the success of our many social entertainments. (ii) Sporting: At the commencement of the term our chief sporting interest was tennis. The branch' hired two courts for the season and entered three teams in the C.L.T.A. Our "C" grade team was the most successful of the three having reached the semi-final stage before being eliminated. The Society made a definite forward move when it was decided to form a cricket club with the object of entering a team in the Fremantle and Districts Mercantile Cricket Association.. Despite difficulties this aim has been achieved and the cricket club is now selfsupporting and a definte acquisition to the Society. Although we won only three matches out of nine in the first round, we made an excellent start in the second by defeating a leading team in Scots by a large margin. That the players are upholding the prestige of the Society is proved by the fact that already they have a reputation that might he envied by any of the associated clubs. Apart from the success of the club on the field it has been responsible in no small measure for our increased membership. On that score alone the cricket dub has been worth every bit of the work put into it. In speaking of cricket, the names of two members in Messrs. W. Hughes and T. Condon stand out prominently. The former, our captain and coach, has won the support and respect of every member, and is untiring in his efforts to make the club a success, while the latter, a past-president of the F. and D.N1.C.A has given the club tremendous service as a delegate and supporter.

THIRD ORDER OF ST. FRANCIS
With the promise of hot weather, a great exodus from Northam has commenced and many of our parishioners are finding their way to cooler areas. Nevertheless a large number began the New Year well, by attending Mass on January 1st. A Maria Cantata - was sung at the nine o'clock Mass, and a good sprinkling of country people could be noticed in the congregation.
( Perth Fraternity.)
On Sunday last, St. Joseph's entertained a tennis team from Meekerings to an all day match, and managed to send them home badly beaten. Arrangements are in hand to hold matches against Goomaling and Jennapulin. These matches together with the Dunckling Spoon competitions; and the local pennants should make the season rather an interesting one.

"Deus Meus et Omnia." In spite of great heat and that the holidays had caused several absentees there was a very good attendance, at the first Sunday meeting, of tertiaries, of St. Francis, on January 5th. In the Cathedral Hall, Brother Prefect read an illuminating paper, on the Franciscan, St. Camillus, wh3 was in reality the initiator jf the Red Cross system, so much thought of in more modern times. This would somewhat astonish our nonCatholic friends! In the Cathedral the Spiritual Director, Father Jolm Kennedy, in his sermonette gave some very good New Year thoughts, to be pondered ever and which it s to be hoped will be put into practice. After which he professed two sisters and three brothers and received into the Order three more sisters. The meeting closed with Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament.

Supersfifion The anti-Christian critics of each generation have attempted to discredit Christianity in particular, and religion in general, by pointing excitedly to the prevelance of polytheism among many pre-Christian civilisations. But all their criticisms have begged the question of priority. They had something of the savour of the old puzzle as to whether the hen or the egg was first. But theirs was not such a good puzzle because the critics, for the most part, already knew the answer, though they could not afford to admit it. One might say, in a pun, that the most primitive men had known the answer "ab ovo." Unhappily for the higher critics it is now generally conceded by scholars that monotheism in all cases preceded polytheism, and that all forms of the latter were corruptions of the older belief. It is a natural sequence that persistent infringement upon the unity of the natural law leads ultimately to the destruction of the belief in the one Supreme Lawgiver. Many are found in our day to contend that a large section of the world is relapsing into a primitive paganism. But by paganism they do not mean that strong and splendid thing to which Plato, Aristotle and Socrates attained, but rather the hateful, effeminate degeneration to which the wisdom of the Greeks and the military valour of the Romans was at last reduced. There are certainly signs on the times that the world, divorced from the fullness of the complete Christian revelation, is sinking down into the bleak night of this degenerate paganism. Of this, there is no more certain indication than the rise of innumerable hydra-headed superstitions which are everywhere rife. The decay of true religion has, at all times, been succeeded by these childish attempts to attach mystical significance to numbers, colours, etc. Silly and fantastic forms of credulity begin to assume the proportions of a religion and are actually hailed in some quarters as substitutes for religion. • While many of these practices are in themselves harmless, they are, nevertheless, indicative of a more serious general trend. They are, too, serving to dispose the minds of the frivolous towards deeper and more dangerous works and beliefs. Among these must be mentioned the current superstition of chainprayers. These crop up periodically and derive their particular odium from the fact that they employ the names of the Saints and the religious Orders to further their ridiculous promises. The most recent one to come under our notice has derived its support from the name of St. Therese of Lesieux, and supposed approval of the Carmelite nuns. The least instructed Catholic the must realise that these chain-prayers are nothing more than silly superstition. It is ridiculous to imagine that one can compel divine favours by imposing a time limit of seven days. There is, moreover, a definite note of irreverence which inclines the originators of the chain-prayers to entirely ignore the will of God, and even to use threats under a lying assumption of piety.
A late afterglow of indignation has risen upon Dr. Kelly's lecture on Catholic Action. A critic in the morning Press, writing under the strange nom-de-guerre "Presbriteros," attacks the statements of an unknown Father Beirne. He endeavours to make capital out of Dr. Kelly's (if so it be) statement, that there is a serious leakage from the Church, neglecting, however, to mention that, whereas a number do fall away, in England alone there are annually 12,000 conversions. It is an essential mark of the Church's vitality and significance that some should leave her fold. Whereas other sects need lose nothing in nominal membership, because they may embrace all shades of personal opinion, even where contradictory, the Catholic Church maintains an uncompromising authoritive front which witnesses to the abiding presence of of the spirit of Faith. -Presbriteros," however, complains that in the matter of gambling and drinking the Church's "witness" has been deplorably weak and ineffective. Now this is a first-class example of Mr. Chesterton's definition of a heretic as a man who is a fanatic about one thing. The Puritans have had an intemperate monomania about temperance. But even here they have not beenu. thorough-going, because their philosophy was too narrow to see that temperance was the natural virtue, including matters a great deal more urgent than the control of beer or loose change. Above all, temperance must be inculcated in regard to the sexual appetite, and it is precisely in this most fundamental matter of self-control in the pre-nuptial and in the marriage state itself that Protestantism has failed miserably, either by silence, hesitancy or compromise. But, at least, the critic has placed his finger on the ever-weakening pulse of Protestantism. He pointed very clearly to the complete insufficiency of the "inner consciousness of man" as a guide to religious belief and practice. Yet the proposed remedy is no better than the alleged disease. He rejects the infallibility of a living, visible teacher in favour of a return to obedience to the Will of God as revealed in the Scripture. But this is no solution. For, ultimately, the interpretation of the Bible will revert to the inner consciousness of the individual, seeing that the variety of Protestant sects bears witness to the impossibility of a unanimous interpretation. For that matter, it is time that the Bible students came across those passages in the New Testament where Christ clearly established an authoritative teaching and body. Moreover, the writings of the early centuries will serve as an indication to the meaning of Christ's words as understood by His disciples and theirs. The patristic writings bear witness to nothing other than the Catholic Church.

The final meeting of the year of the Women's Society of St. Vincent de Paul was held on Sunday, the 15th December. 1935, at Our Lady Help of Christians Church, East Victoria Park. The principle changes of the year have been the resignation of our late president, Mrs. K. M. Lewis, who was on indefinite leave of absence whilst travelling overseas and the appointment of Mrs. Cullen acting president to the permanent position.
Nevertheless it is the hope and belief of the executive that members will not fail to continue the practice of those little acts of self denial and personal effort on which prior to the formation of the Lottores' Commission, this Society was entirely dependent for its indigent funds.
