The World Mourns for the King CATHOLIC SUBJECTS' EXPRESSIONS OF GRIEF The entire British Empire, bound together by mystical bonds which find the expression of their unity in the Throne, has been overcast by the sad news of the passing of King George V. And outside the realms of his sovereignty, there have been genuine and affecting expressions of sympathy in the death of the K ing of England. There is no difficulty about believing in these tributes of universal esteem in which the late King was held. because at no time in English history has the Throne been a stronger exemplar of domestic v irtue, or a more powerful force in the establishment and preservation of cordial and peaceful international relations than (hating the past quarter of a century when King George V. was the Ruler of the British Commonwealth of Nations. Pope's Message of Sympathy. The Holy Father has sent a message to Her Majesty the Queen and the Royal Family, expressing great sOrrow in the death of the King. His Holiness recalled the visit paid by Their Majesties to the Vatican, on which occasion the King assured His Holiness that Catholics were among his most loyal subjects. Addressing a British pilgrimage in audience in May, the Holy Father recalled this same event which had evidently made a profound impression upon him. " We recall with pleasure—and ou will see that what We are about to recall does honour to you—the visit of your beloved King George V. and Queen Mary to Us here in the Vatican, and the joy that We experienced in Our paternal heart that His Majesty told Us that his Catholic s ubjects were many millions. and that they were ever among his most loyal and faithful subjects. And when We thanked the 1 .ing for his visit, he said that he (it it a dt1tV to Come to Us"We rejoice greatly at thc Y onderful expressions of filial loyalty and affection shown to y our Sovereign on the occasion o f the Jubilee celebrations just held in all parts of the vast Fmpire.

"We bless your King. that he may continue his great work for peace and for the well-being of his subjects in that vast Empire which Divine Providence has confided to him. "We shall be happy if he and your gracious Queen will be pleased to see in Our benediction and in your applause the last echo, as it were—the last in time but not the last in affection of the

The Archbishop's Tribute On the eve of St. Agnes, a few minutes before midnight, His Majesty King George V. passed away in the presence of the Queen and the Royal Family. Though the King's health has been frail since his serious illness a few years ago, his death, following upon so brief a last illness, has come as a profound shock to his subjects in all parts of the world. To none more, however, than to his Catholic subjects, who under his beneficent reign, enjoyed greater freedom and tolerance than in any previous reign during the past four hundred years. But apart from any benefits derived, the character and personality of the late Monarch were such as to commend themselves very endearingly to the ideals of the children of the Church. And his late Majesty was not loathe to appreciate that that religion, which had been for so long synonymous in the English mind with disloyalty, made in actual fact a most compelling demand upon the conscience of its subjects to render to the Throne its full and proper measure of devotion and fealty. To Her Majesty, the Queen Mother, to the new King, Edward VIII., and to all the members of the Royal Family, the deep sympathy of the Catholic community in this State goes out. They will join their prayers and suffrages with those of all the late King' subjects for the repose of his noble and religious soul. On the day of the funeral, at 10 a.m.. a Memorial Service will be celebrated in St. Mary's Cathedral, His Grace Archbishop Prendivine presiding. Terry's "Funeral Mass" will be rendered by the Cathedral choir and the "Dead March in Saul" will be played by Mr. A. Taylor (Cathedral organist). In addition to this service His Grace has ordered special prayers for the repose of the soul of His late Majesty to be offered in all Catholic churches and religious institutions throughout the Archdiocese of Perth on to-morrow (Sunday).

It is practically certain that inrougnout the 4 hours a Jubiiee Mass was being offered in one Part or other ot tne Empire. And m illions ot Catholics offered prayers for Their Majesties' welfare and in thanksgiving for the plessings that had come during ineir reign. There are more than 17,000,000 Catholics in the British Empire: their hearts were with their King on his Jubilee day. The Sovereign Pontiff sent a message to the King offering his "heartfelt felicitations for those 25 --ears of enlightened and beneficent rule." The Masses of thanksgiving w ere particularly appropriate. King George, at the very beginning of his reign, did much towards eliminating from the Coronation Oath the offensive references to the Holy Sacrifice. His Lordship, Bishop McNu!.. of Nottingham. expressed Catholic sent:mem in an occasional sermon at that time: "When on May 20, 1910, the Present King rode through the - treets of London in the funeral f roctssion of his illustrious rather, Edward VII." said the Ilishop, "he was accompanied bv iine Kings, of whom the great m ajority have in the meantime )een swept from their thrones.

Hotel and Accommodation Guide

Bushies' School, Narrogin Little representatives of Cuballing, Kondinin, Yornaning, Dudinin, Toolibin, assembled on two different occasions during the past year to augment, by means of the "Bushies'" School, the religious knowledge gained throughout the year from the lessons of the Correspondence system . The parents, it is gratifying to note, are eager to take advantage of the opportunities afforded them of having the great truths of our Holy Faith imparted to the minds of the precious charges that Our Blessed Lord has entrusted to their care. Consequently, time and again, these little ones come along to the "Bushies' School" with an ardent longing to imbibe each day, while the instructions lasted, still more of lessons of the wonderful which circumstances have deprived them for so long. For the children it is a fortnight's holiday, although so many hours of the day are spent at lessons, and playtime is curtailed. With alacrity, the nine o'clock bell is answered and earnest work fills the morning hours until eleven o'clock, when singin,- is the order of the time-table. How lustily they sing the favoured hymns, "Hail Queen of Heaven" and "Faith of Our Fathers," and nothing short of the welcome sound of the dinner bell is able to entice them away. Appetites are good and no pressure is required to make these healthy young Australians do full justice to the substantial meal set before them. All shyness has long since departed, and merry chatter accompanies the satisfying of the "inner man" until the signal announces the end of the meal. Grace said, and once conducted in an orderly manner from the refectory, they make a bound for the playground where th( boy's love for cricket in indulged The heat being a little too oppressive for an expenditure of en ergy on the part of the girls. these latter spend the time deeply absorbed in the reading of the "Annals," "Messencrers," "The East," Crusader," and "Far papers for which the children are indebted to Rev. Father Sheridan and Rev. Mother at Highgate. All, but particularl\ the boys, appreciate a gift of quite a different nature—a case of fine oranges, a present from Rev. Father Sheridan. Interspersed with short periods for recreation, the afternoon instructions supplement those of the morning, and how all eyes light up and faces beam as Rev Father Sheridan appears, for Father comes "on duty" each afternoon. With wonderful patience and understanding of the capacity of the little minds with which he is dealing, Rev. Father explains to a class of interested listeners the most necessary truths of religion, for tiniz short and the rest must wait for next time. A t five o'clock Rosaries of various colours and sizes are produced, and two by two, with genuflections, which are becoming

each day inure graceful, the little band enters the Chapel for Rosary, after which one of the hymns, which are nearing perfection, is sung to honour the Holy Mother of God. After tea the atmosphere cooler and the recreation, judging by the racing and merry shouts, is spent profitably. The sound of the Angelus bell marks the commencement of another half-hour's instruction, after which begins a more lengthy process, especially for the boys—the good wash in preparation for bed. Thus, orderly and pleasantly, pass by the days of the "Bushies' School" days which mean so much to the little ones of Holy Church, and as we see them each morning kneel at Holy Mass, the greatness of which sublime act has just begun to be unfolded to them, we utter a fervent Deo Gratias• And now come the last two days when a little group are ready by careful instruction and preparation, to receive for the first time, the two great Sacraments of Penance and Holy Eucharist. The First Holy Communion ceremony, as always, is a source of emotion, as we see the little ones approach to receive their God, and as we listen to the sweet strains of their thanksgi , ing hymn: "Dearest Lord, I love Thee With my whole, whole heart." we feel that for these little privileged souls the crowning day has dawned. We breathe a prayer-that for no single soul have w( laboured in vain, that our lesson-. may bear fruit, and be the means of keeping each and every Hu' "Thishie" true to Holy Churc!-

NEW SCHOOL AT MAYLANDS IS)

LESSED It Y HIS GRACE T E ARCH ISH OP

The beautiful new School at Maylands was blessed by His Grace the Archbishop on Sunday, the 19th. inst., at 3.30 p.m. It is a commodious brick building, roofed with tile, containing six rooms, four of which are class-halls, together with a basement. The cost, not including the furnishing, was £1,786, and the building will accommodate about 200 pupils. Rev. Father Dunne welcomed His Grace on his arrival, and the Hibernian Society formed a guard of honour. On the platform with His Grace were the Chairman of the Perth Road Board, Mr. Shearin, the member for the district, Mr. Clothier, Rev. Father Winston, Rev Father McDermott, Rev. Dr. Sullivan, and Rev. Dr. Collins, and two other members of the Road Board.

old accusation, dating centuries back, that the sincere profession of Catholic belief was incompatible with whole-hearted loyalty and patriotism was still, unfortunately, prevalent. So far from Catholicism, patriotism, and good citizenship being even potentially at variance, however, the contrary was the case. The better the Catholic the better the citizen. The State found in the teachin,s of the Church the surest support for all her lawful claims and Catholics found in their religion the greatest incentive to yielding obedience. There was one matter which Father Dunne had not touched on, and that Nvas the need for a new Presbvtery. They had now a new church and school, but a parish was not fully equipped without a permanent hom e for the priest.

In reading the list of donations, Father Dunne said that there was one particularly pleas.annotncement he had to make. and that was the generous donation of a benefactor who did not wish his name published.

" Worker" (Perth) : "Would you kindly answer the following questions: (1) Is a workman entitled to 'down tools' when he wishes? (2) Is a trade union workman entitled_ to 'down tools' at a union official's direction? (3) Is the 'right to strike' a natural right? (4) What moral obligations apply to all strikes?" Reply. (1) If, as is usually the case, the workman stipulates to give notice before leaving his employment, he can only terminate his agreement by giving the requisite notice. If he refuses to obey lawful orders and quits work without giving such notice. he breaks his contract and offends against justice. Even where no notice is requisite a workman may be under an obligation of justice to take all precautions that no loss is caused to his employer or danger to his fellow-workmen by his sudden stoppage of work. He may be free to stop work at will. but not to cause harm at will. (2) Where a workman is a member of a trade union, and the employer is aware, or could make himself aware of that fact at the time of employing the workman, it may be conceded that the rules of the trade union were incorporated by implication in the contract. The workman is therefore entitled to obey the trade union official instead of his employer, at least pending further enquiry. If. however, the workman is aware that either the union official has no lawful authority to call him out, or that the proposed strike is unjust, he cannot get rid of his obligation of justice to his employer by pleading the official's orders. (3) Yes. A man's labour is free to give or withdraw. Like any other right, he can exercise it at will, as long as he does not offend against the right of anyone else.

( 4) The following are the morftl obligations which apply to all strikes: (1) The demand of the strikers must be a reasonable demand. A strike entails so much loss to the whole community, that unless the demand of the w orkers is founded on reason, such loss is without excuse or necessity, and therefore the strike may be opposed to justice. (2) A strike must not cause excessive suffering to the families of the poorer workers. (3) In all strikes the cost must be proportionate to the gain aimed at. The loss of one week's wage of thirty shillings will require thirty weeks to compensate it if the success of a strike only brings a rise in wages of one shilling per week. (4) \Vorkers may sometimes enter upon a strike with such r ecklessness of consequences that it will be hard to hold them guiltless of moral negligence. (5) A strike which does not promise a fair chance of success at the start is a blameworthy and dangerous experiment to embark on. SAVE MONEY on Stoves, Coppers, Baths.

In the Epistle St. Paul urges the Romans to the practice of true Christian charity. He writes, "To no man rendering evil for evil. Providing good things, not only in the sight of God, but also in the sight of all men." Finally, his advice to them is, "be not overcome by evil, but overcome evil by good." In the Gospel we have the story of Christ cleansing the leper and healing the centurion's servant. Both miracles speak of the gentleness and compassion of Our Blessed Lord for those who are in sorrow and trouble. Monday, Jan. 27: St. John Chrysostom, Bishop, Confessor and Doctor of the Church.

RELIGION IN PORTUGAL

Foreign visitors to Portugal have lately been spreading reports of greatly improved religious conditions in that country. In fact, though conditions are immeasurably better than they were fifteen years ago, they are not nearly so bright as they have recently been painted. The revolution which overthrew the monarchy in 1911 was a bitterly anti-clerical movement which uprooted all the religious institutions of the country. Conflicts led to the imprisonment of Worthy bishops and priests, and an intensified persecution. In Portugal, as in Spain later, the fall of the old regime had the immediate effect of purifying and strengthening the religious life of very many Christians who had lapsed into a merely formal observance. Gradually their renewed fervour began to undermine the anti-clerical temper of the masses and to weaken the attacks of the government on the Church. The Paez Regime. In 1918, when Sidonio Paez came into power, the relations between Church and State were revised. Candidates for the priesthood were again permitted in their seminaries, and the anticlerical parish committees were replaced by councils in conformity with canon law. To these council the government made over the administration of church buildings and other property; but the ownership and revenues of these were still retained by the State. Paez was goin, too quickly for the more violent radical temper still surviving, and he soon came to a violent end. But his death shocked the public conscience and gave a new impetus to the religious revival. The Catholic Centre Party now began to gather strencrth. It returned only a few men to Parliament. but they commanded respect by their high character, and where all else was chaos and disunion, their clear united policy began to prevail. A Disappointment. One of the reasons why a dictatorship was so warmly welcomed in Portugal was that most people hoped it would put an end to religious persecution. Hopes rose very high when Don Manuel Rodriguez was appointed Minister of Justice, but when his new legislation regulating the relations of Church to State was promulgated in 1926 it came as a great disappointment. It neither the recognised Church as a corporation nor restored to her the right to hold property or receive revenues. The lay councils remained the only logically recognised bodies, and their right was still restricted to the administration on behalf of the Church of property and revenues over which the State claimed the fundamental rights of ownership. The bishops. conceding that tins measure of reform was perhaps as much as political prudence permitted at the moment, accepted it without much protest. and hoped that the spirit in which it was to he administered would go as far in their favour as the letter could he made to bear. Churches Misused. This hope has been only partially fulfilled. The catechism may now be taught in private. but not in public schoolc. Many

WHY FULL FREEDOM IS NOT GIVEN? ecclesiastical buildings have been r estored to the clergy with full use of their revenues, but without the right of ownership. Many, on the other hand, are still put to secular uses. One flagrant example of this is the seminary of Faro, and there are other numerous examples of the retention by the government of churches as public museums. And it is not only property r ights that are denied to the Church. The civil law of marriage still remains as the revolu-

tionary government left it, deliberately intended to secularise society and strike at religion through family life. With all these Portugal presents to the visitor the aspect of a country in which Christian life is flourishing very vigorously indeed, and there is much serious talk everywhere of a concordat shortly to be ratified with the Holy See. The Explanation. The explanation of this anomaly is not—for once !—the apath

Rome, Russia or Ruin Father Martindale on "One Man Rule" the first was that force and violence have been used throughout. The Pope not only did not require to use physical violence, but it was out of the question, for he had no real physical forces, no large army. The second fact regarding oneman rulers was that sooner or later they had to exhibit some sort of philosophy to the world, justifying what they were doing. and the practical man in a hurry had to ask someone else to do this for him. The Pope had no need to invent a new philosophy or make a break with the past. He could make use of the very phrases of his predecessors. The Pope's Unique Position. There existed in the world a man whose position was shared Rome, Russia, or ruin, were by no one else.

of Catholics in the political activities necessary to safeguard their own and the common good. It is the fact that Portugal, like Spain, has a whole underworld of secret societies, mostly Masonic, and all anti-clerical. In both countries the Freemasons are fighting for their existence against the existing regime, and in Portugal it is an especially bitter struggle, all the more so for being underground. The slowness of the government to restore full rights to the Church is partly explicable, no doubt, by the machinations of these secret societies. But it is much more due to the fact that the government is as hostile to these societies as they are to it Its conception of its duty is Christian, not Masonic; it regards itself as a temporal power having atthority over its subjects in all temporal matters, and in those only. In the modern world a government cannot very well give to the Christian religion temporal advantages which it denies to Masonry. Hence the niggardly in. stalments of justice which the present Portuguese government has given to the Church are in reality the best defence possible against a renewed revolutionary attack by Freemasons and Communists, separately or together. on both State and Church.—"Catholic Herald."

People made it happen by co-operating with the sacramental grace God has never denied to any two who, united in His Name, have faced life manfully.

The name is given to an evanescent attraction based on those attributes in man which are the least noble and which It is an undispass soonest. ciplined vagrant thing. deadly dangerous when its true quality is unadmitted.

The distinction belongs to one, since dead, who devoted the greater part of his priestly career to the apostolate among the Negroes. the Rt. Rev. \ Tsg-r. John 'E. Burke. In November, 1893, Msgr.

Burke, with the approbation of the Most Rev. M. A. Corrigan. Archbishop of New York, petitioned the Holy See for the use by the faithful of the United States of a prayer in honour of Blessed Martin with an indulgence for its recitation. This petition was granted. His Eminence Patrick Cardinal Haves, on Rev. Edward petition from Hughes. 0.P.. editor of "The Torch" and director of the Blessed Martin Guild, has renewed the Errant.

(By J. Stephen Narayan, B.D.) "The Catholic Church is Italian," say her critics, who do not know her. Do people refuse to use the wireless because it was invented by an Italian? Racial distinctions belong to the physical world; and yet in the matter of physical truths we accept them from any quarter, because they happen to be truths. Whereas, in the realm of the spirit, into which racial and worldly distinctions should not enter, people often stop to inquire, "Isn't :.t Italian?" In the time of Our Lord, Nathanael asked regarding Him, "Can anything of good come from Nazareth?" Later on, when the Apostles began to preach Christianity. many Greek and Roman highbrows must have said in derision, "Are we to listen to this pack of Jews?" Christ had to be horn ,omewhere; and He was born a Jew for definite reasons. The Apostles, too, had to be of some nationality. If they were not Jews, they would have been men of some other race. Similarly, the head of the Catholic Church on earth, being a man, has also to belong to some particular race. National prejudice,s therefore, have no place in the search for r eligious truth and certainty. Now, is the Catholic Church really Italian? Out of the 266 Popes. many have been non-Italians. There have been among them Frenchmen, Greeks, Dutchmen, Portuguese, Spaniards. Germans, Asiatics Africans and even an Englishman. A large number, however, have been Italians for the simple reason that the Pope is also the Bishop of Rome. But, once he is elected, he ceases to belong to any special nation. He assumes independent Kingship and becomes the common Father of his children of all nations. Among the Cardinals over half are non-Italians at the present day. Besides, it is not they, but it is the Pope. who is the head of the Catholic Church. The three thousand Bishops, the vast majority of whom are non-Italians, are directly responsible to the Pope himself. The Catholic Church is truly Catholic, truly international, or rather supranational. She alone. of all Christian bodies. knows no differences of race and colour. Pope Benedict XV., in his Encyclical letter. "Maximum Mud." exhorts all Catholic misisonaries: "Holding. therefore, that these words of the Lord are addressed to each of you. 'Forget your people and your father's house,' remember, then, that you are not to propagate the kingdom of met:, but of Christ." This is th?! Church where, in the word: of c Paul. "there is neither Gentili.. nor Jew, circumcision nor uncitcumcision. Barbarian nor Scythian, bond nor free. But Christ is all and in all."

It is thought the fire must have been caused by some of the unemployed, who decided to use Incithe shed for a camping place. dents such as these, allied to the fact that work on the farms has hitherto been plentiful, leads one to the con. viction that too much sympathy and misplaced kindness can be offered to these people.

PERTH, SATURDAY, JANUARY, 25, 1936.

The Death of His Majesty A BENEFICENT REIGN The coincidence of the canonisation of the English Martyrs ilnd the Jubilee of the late King falling at the same period in May last, may well serve as an emblem of the happy and harmonious relations which were made possible between Church and State under the reign of the late King George V. For, as the canoniration honours of SS. Thomas More and John Fisher were the i;rst bestowed on Englishmen since the Reformation, so, under the late King, English Catholics received, for the first time in 400 years, full civic equality and freedom to preach and to practice Catholic faith. In the eyes of his Catholic subjects, the late King (,pened his reign under happy auspices, when he refused to include in 1 is coronation oath the offensive reference to the Mass. This initial example of justice and tolerance was consistently upfield throug-hrsut the entire quarter century during which he occupied the Throne. Those who are found to regard the constitutional monarchy as merely a figure-head forget what essential This is exinfluence it wields over the national mind and life. emplified in the way in which the personal principles of the late King affected the public outlook in England towards the Catholic Faith. • * This benign disposition of the late monarch affected the interi, a1 life of England in other ways also. The integrity of court i,;orals was preserved, and owing largely to the personal example of the Queen Mother, Christian standards of modesty and decorum prevailed. The unity and solidarity of the home-life of the Royal family has !,Pcome proverbial and has served in an immeasurable Legree to protect England against the insidious philosophy that attacks the home. In the battle over fundamentals the Catholic Church has :leen almost alone in its championship of the home. No external influence has, however, been a more powerful ally in t nis matter 7han the inspiring national example of domestic felicity set up and maintained in the Royal household. In public affairs, it is very little more than a hundred years But since Catholics were at last permitted to sit in Parliament. the removal of injustices which proceeded steadily thereafter, the swift recovery of Catholic influence in public life, and the disappearance of legislative discrimination against Catholics, were acc:•mplished ender the two reigns of King Edward VII and his late -4)n. With the abolition of the old anti-Catholic restrictions, Cat' olics of the future will he protected against many anomalous positions such as arose in the past. The Empire, already decentlalised arid largely self-governing in its component parts. has i:een built up everywhere by pioneers among whom Catholics In the Lave, in each generation, played an indispensable part. T ore recently developed countries—particularly in North Amer:.ca, Australia and Africa—Catholic missionaries have again and again blazed the trail where later colonists have followed. In this respect, indeed, the more recent developments of the King's Dominions have borne a remarkable resemblance to the modern Wherever the British Empire c,trowth of the Catholic Church. has spread and developed, there Christianity has also gone forward, not as the servant of the State, but as its honourable conf, ere and most valuable ally. Just as the Roman Empire in the early centuries of the Church became the medium through which Christianity spread all over the civilised world, so in modern times the English-speaking peoples have contributed in generous measure to carry the Christian tradition far and wide. Catholics, then, have much reason to remember the reign of the late King, now so sadly terminated, and to be saddened by the death of their beneficent and enlightened monarch. In his long reign, the late King had the happiest personal relations with the late Cardinal Bourne. Their mutual regard and confidence were s trengthened greatly by the common anxieties and responsibilities --hich weighed upon them during the years of suffering and anguish of the Great War. Now both are at rest, but their work Fves on. The public prestige of the Church in Great Britain and the Dominions has been solidly established, and between the English Throne and the Vatican the most cordial relations exist. •

Now that England claims a new Monarch, and Catholics in Fngland a new Archbishop, it is the earnest wish and prayer of Catholics throughout the *odd that the ha-ppy associations of the r ast may be preserved in the future. As for the dead Monarch. whose mortal remains will he laid to rest on Tuesday. his Catho".c subjects throughout the world will pray that God may give eternal rest to his soul, and that the King of Kings will mete out to him a similar measure of mercy and justice as he himself meted out to the Church of Christ during his long and memorable reign.

Correspondence To the Editor. Sir,—Most people agree that the Church dos very wisely to discourage mixed marriages. Unless husband and wife are both absolutely indifferent to religion of any sort, such a marriage is unlikely to be a success. No good man With clear reasoned convictions— the fruit of years of study and observation—could conscientiously agree to bring children into the world and bring them up in any religion which be believed to be positively wrong in itself—be that religion whatever it may, Protestant, Buddhist, Moslem, Catholic, or any other. He may deeply respect that religion and those who profess it, but nonetheless, if he believed it to be wrong in itself, he would not be a man if he allowed his children to be brought up in it. Therefore, discourage such rash marriages by all means. The only point on which non-Catholics differ from Catholics is this: If such a marriage actually does take place (as sometimes happens in country places), by registry or by a Protestant minister (usually because there is no priest available to solemnise it), for anyone to produce domestic discord or to try and persuade the parties to separate, or to cast aspersions at the parties as invalidly married (though the law of the land considers them man and wife), is in the opinion of most non-Catholics wrong in itself and subversive ot the good order of the State. It must be remembered that most non-Catholics regard marriage not as a Sacrament (though, of course, in a sense it is a saiTamentum or military oath), but as a civil contract, to be made and dissolved by civil law, though, of course, since marriage produces fresh human beings, which a business partnership does not, the interests of the children, as well as the parties, needs to be considered when legislators consider any amendment of the divorce laws. Children cannot be as well reared in institutions as by their own parents. Catholics take a different view: hence a conflict of opinion which no compromise can bridge. Hence the wisdom of discouraging such marriages.— Yours. etc. R. V. R.

Stop This Superstition (By Rev. James M. Gillis, C.S.P., Editor, "The Catholic World.") What I have in mind to discuss is a matter of importance which deserves every inch of space it can get in any corner of a Catholic paper. Everyone in authority in the Catholic Church, from the Holy Father down, has asked all writers and speakers to take this problem up and deal with it emphatically. I refer to the Chain Prayer. Every Catholic pulpit preaches against it. Every Catholic paper has devoted columns and columns to warnings and denunciations against it. Every priest in public and private has attacked it. You would think we had it licked. That is, you would think so if you didn't know the inexhaustible obstinacy and the incredible mental perversity of a certain type of "pious" people.

neither is that of the slimy, slinking individual who sends it through the mails. But instead of getting angry at it, let's have one simple remedy for this and all other chain prayers. The remedy is simply a bit of information. Unless a prayer contains the "imprimatur" of a bishop, or at least the name of the source from which it emanates is to you a well-known Catholic firm or a religious Order, you may and must suspect the orthodoxy of that prayer. So don't use it. Tear it up. Burn it up and don't let any cowardly unknown person who is as1,a,--,«1 to sign his name, intimidate you with his absurd threats. Break the chain. Stop this superstition.

Theacquisilower values of the Guadeloupe series porto chain prayers. Only the other day a new one cropped up right here under my own eyes in the office of "The Catholic World." It certainly is a "daisy." In fact, it's the finest specimen of its kind I have ever seen. It's good—that is to say, bad—that I wish it might be the chain prayer to end all chain prayers. Read it and weep. or laugh. or scream, or gnash your teeth, according to your mood: "This is the chain started by an American Cononel. (Sic). You must mail this first copy within 24hrs. and then wrote the same copy for 13 days to 13 digerent people. After 13 days you will receive the Grace of Happiness that you have always longed for. "Many people have received disgrace and sorrow that have broken this chain. This letter must go around the world. Now you must write these letters to Saint Anthony if you want to receive the Grace of Happiness. "For this devotion say 3 Our Fathers each day and send it a copy each day for 13 days. After 13 days You will receive the unexpected Grace. Amen. Amen. "Remember that Miss Tuleled received 30 dollars in a letter because she believed and was devoted and did not break the chain. Another woman threw the letter away, and cursed it and lost her only daughter. Still another made fun of it and her houses burned down. So continue this chain to Saint Anthony to help us and he will always think and pray for us. Amen. Amen." Notice that within a relatively short space the writer of that letter manages to pack in superstition, intimidation, heresy, fake piety. sacrilege. ignorance, sacrilegious disrespect for one of the saints, and insult to God the Father, Jesus Christ the Son and the Blessed Virgin Mother. It's a masterpiece—of its kind. One more evil thing von find in it—moral cowardice. The author's name is not given.

For a Catholic moving in society a knowledge of his faith is essential.

Boulder C.Y.M.S.

After a rather lengthy spell, the Club has once •again started under the capable guidance of Rev. Dr. Coody, our Spiritual Director. It was decided to hold a full general meeting on Thursday, January 16. The main business was the election of officers. For president we have a very energetic member in the person of Jim Treacy, who has been one of our most enthusiastic members since he has joined the Club. We all join in wishing him the very best of success. For the position of secretary, there was a unanimous vote for Mr. Jack Louis, who is only a new member in the Club, having left the Kalgoorlie branch to join ours For assistant secretary and treasurer, we have a good genial member in the person of Peter Bizacca. Peter for the last six months has carried out ably the duties of warden. Mr. T. Ardagh was appointed as warden. The three members of the committee, apart from the above mentioned, are Messrs. W. Lowry, W. Ryan, and L. Sharkey, and all three ard members who will take an active interest in their duties. Cricket. On Sunday, January 12, we met Manchester Unity on the Horsesho Inn ground. Manchester Unity batter first, and made 122 runs. W. Lowry was the most successful bowler, taking 7 wickets for 55 runs. Boul. der C.Y.M.S. replied with 164 runs. Cody being top scorer with a bril. liantly made 75 runs; W. Godley being next with 29 runs. In the second inflings Manchester Unity made 91 runs. Matulich taking 3 for 22 and Lowry 4 for 38. In our second innings we made 70 runs for the loss of three wickets. thereby gaining a three-point victory, which now places us in second position. Lowry was top scorer with a quickly made 25 runs. Treacy being next best with 20 not out. Once again we must congratulate Captain Scullin on his being elected as captain of the Boulder country week team. Once again we have five members in the country week team, and we wish each and everyone of them the very best of luck during their stay in Perth. and we hope that the Boulder team will be successful in gaining the honours whilst away.

Geraldton C.Y.M.S.

The Geraldton C.Y.M.S. held their second weekly meeting of the year on January 14. It has been decided by members to hold the first general quarterly Communion on the last Sunday of this month. January 26. Members are requested to meet outside the church at 6.50 a.m.. and a large attendance is hoped for. T. Ager has been elected warden in place of Mr. Smith, who sailed for England on the "Templehane" some few weeks ago. The syllabus item for the evening was boxing, and the various bouts provided much amusement for all, except

AMONG OUR SOCIETIES

( By "Sidelines.") The Annual General Meeting. Friday, February 19, has been fiKed for the Association general meeting. The venue will be the Sports Club, in King-street. Every member is issued an invitation to be present, and to show a lively interest in affairs by discussing the various subjects presented on the agenda paper. The executive and council have had an ardous year's toil, and it is up to the rank and file to show their appreciation by an attendance worthy of the occasion. Let there be no slackness on this !lie Nedlands E,ntertains. In reciprication of other social invitations, the club that caters for the parishioners of Nedlands were "at home" to their comrades from over the Causeway on Thursday eveping. Such social gatherings have many advantages, both from a social and a playing point of view. St. _Joachim's members, after an enjoyable evening, left quite convinced that they will retrieve the Molloy Cup from Doctor Webster's merry team. Collie's Formation. Scouting through the pages of "The Record," it has been noted that a club is now thriving at Collie. The executive are keenly interested in this. the latest addition to the country clubs. At the last meeting of the council it was decided to select a team of exhibition players to visit this new adjunct if it was so desired. Such a visitation would be of mutual benefit to all concerned, and no doubt the players would benefit considerably. The Finance Committee. There is no doubt that the Association can congratulate itself on the committee which controls and overhauls the finance of all the workings They have never failed in the programme which they set down earlier in the year. At the last council meeting a most comprehensive statement was submitted, which showed the remarkable thoroughness of their work and close scrutiny. The books of the Association are a tribute to the treasurer, Bernie Prindiville, and his painstaking committee.

PERTH C.Y.M.S. River Trip Mad Tuesday. Members and friends are reminded that the usual popular fortnightly river trip and dance will be held on Tuesday next, 28th. inst., and will consist of three and a half hours' enjoyment for a small outlay. Launch leaves Barrack-street at 8 p.m. nter-Branch Cricket Match. I On Sunday last we met the Fremantle Branch in a cricket match, the first of the competitions for the shield for 1936. The game was played at Forrest Park. Both branches fielded their strongest team. Fremantle won the toss and elected to give us first use of the wicket. We opened disastrous-

Kalgoorlie C.Y.M.S. General. At the weekly general meeting of the Society held on last Monday evening. Vice-President Tony Tornich presided over a fairly large attendance of members. The chief matter discussed was the advisability of holding the general meetings at less frequent intervals and allowing the committee to handle business of immediate importance between meetings. After a lot of discussion. however, the whole matter was held over until next Monday evening. Study Circle. Rev. Father Grennan presented a very interesting talk in furtherance of the study of Apologetics at the Study Circle held before the meeting on Monday night. Gauged by the number of questions asked after he had finished speaking, the members are taking a keen interest in the study, which augurs well for the future. Cricket. Commencing their second innings against our team on the Piccadilly ground, Kalgoorlie Druids, with a leeway of 102 runs to make up, did re. markably well, and. contrary to all expectations, succeeded in passing our score. They secured 118 runs, there by avoiding an inning's defeat, and the match resulted in a win for Kal goorlie CA...M.S. by 10 wickets and one run. A fter discussion at the meetip- it was decided to accept an invitation from the Celebration Cricket Club to meet them at Celebration, for a picnic match on our bye, Sunday, February 17. possibly for those engaged in conflict. in the absence of the Spiritual Director, Father Gallagher, the chairman closed the meeting with the usual prayer.

ly, the first wicket falling in the first over. :After that, due chiefly ao good scores by Conroy, McKenna, Lyons and Gallagher, we compiled a useful 133. Fremantle's main bowlers were Max-. well and Ryan. Our bowling was entrusted mainly to McKenna and Parker, who both acquitted themselves well. They were ably supported by Arthur and Guelfi. Fremantle in their innings made 116, thus giving us victory by 17 runs. The game was played in the friendliest of spirits and was thoroughly enjoyed by The return match is all present. being eagerly looked forward to. Our thanks are due to the Misses Gallagher for arranging afternoon tea.

Fremantle C.Y.M.S. lig (in Thursday night, Janary 16, the usual weekly meeting was held. The Question a syllabus item, Box, was a great success, and most of those present were greatly enlightened on many ubjects that hitherto had not concerned them. The following programme was drawn up: Sunday, January 26: Bus picnic to Rockingham. During the course of the day a number of novelty events for ladies will be conducted. Good prizes. The bus leaves St. Patrick's Hall at 10 o'clock, and bookings can be made with any member of the committee. Thursday, January 30: Indoor sports night against Palmyra branch. Sunday, February 2: Branch quarterly Communion. As this is one of the few occasions we are able to demonstrate our Faith in a body and publicly, each member is asked to strive his utmost to be present. Thursday. February 6: The first heat of a new series of Marathon races will commence on the above date. A very capable committee has been formed, and will take care of all matters in connection with the series. Intending contestants are advised to hand in their entries as soon as possible. Cricket. Last Sunday marked the occasion of the first shield cricket match against the Perth branch. It was without a doubt the best social match we have a ttended for years. The branch wishes to thank sincerely the Misses Gallagher, Messrs. Gallagher and Peterson, and all who helped to make our visit a happy one. We shall certainly do our best to show some return for their wonderful work, but jugding by the tireless way they laboured, it is going to be difficult. The scores were as follows: Perth. first innings, 133: sec. ond innings. 8 wickets for 44: Fremantle, first innings, 116. Bowling for Fremantle, Maxwell 4 for 43: Day. 1 for 14; Ryan. 5 for 28: F.

Dear Spalpeen of Blarney,—That you have a heart there's no denying, seeing that you have graced the Page for 1936 with the generosity that characterised your appearances through 1935, but if you think you are going to sit back and laugh at me for another twelve months, enoying my utter ignorance of your identity, then I warn you to beware, for having failed through human means to track you cicIwn I will try other stratagems.

60 Cowle-street, West Perth. Dear Aunt Bessy,Please find enclosed two cards and 5s. I'm a trifle overdue as usual, but it was unavoidable. I am delighted to know that the efforts on behalf of God's little ones have been crowned with success, as I am sure you were often doubtful of it, but there is discouragement in every work at times. Now. thank God and The Holy Mother, you can once more breathe freely for a while at all events, until your annual campaign begins again. I read with much interest the Many comforting and delightful letters which you receive from your many helpers—may God bless them all! My only sorrow is that I am not in a position to do more, but I will do all that I can even though it is only a drop in the ocean. and I will not forget your work in my prayers. Kindly send me two more cards. I do not know if the parcel of stamp, which I am sending will be of any value. With congratulations te all who have shared in the success of 1935. and wishing you every blessing and good luck for 1936.—Sincerel.,Voui's. A CLIENT OF OUR LADY OF PERPETUAL SUCCOUR.

Tic has permitted me to receive naught but encotiragement from those who matter most where the Busbies' interests are concerned, and the minimum of diseouragement from those who view the work with one eye on my connection with it, and the other sye on what it imagines it can see.

WLSHING. Do you wish the world were better Let me tell you what to do: Set a watch upon your actions Keep them always straight and true. Rid your mind of selfish motives, Let your thoughts be clean and high, And make a little Eden of the sphere you occupy. Do you wish the world were wiser, Then suppose you make a start, By accumulating Wisdom in the scrap Book of your heart. Do not waste one page on folly, Live to learn, and learn to live. If you want to give men knowledge. You must get it 'ere you give. Do you wish the world were happy. Then remember day by day, Just to scatter seeds of kindness as You pass along the way; For the pleaures of the many may Be often traced to one. As the hand that plants the acorn Shelters armies from the sun.
