Memorial Service at St. Mary's Cathedral HIS GRACE THE ARCHBISHOP VOICES THE PEOPLE'S TRIBUTE ELOQUENT PANEGYRIC St. Mary's Cathedral was the centre of a solemn and moving scene on Tuesday, when, in common sympathy with the subjects of the late King throughout the world, a memorial service was held at 10 a.m. The Altar, the Archiepiscopal throne, and the pulpit were draped in mourning and half an hour before Mass commenced every available seat was occupied by the sombrely-clad congregation, while many stood in the aisles. . . The Archbishop's panegyric and the music of the Mass were broadcast.
A
Promptly at ten o'cjock the procession moved from the sacristy to the High Altar. All the priests of the metropolitan area attended and took their places in the Sanctuary. His Grace presided at the Throne, attended by Rt. Rev. Monsignor Fagan, V.F., and Rev. Father McDermott. The Requiem Mass was celebrated by Rev. Father Winston, with Rev. Father Gorey, C.SS.R., as deacon, and Rev. Father O'Connor as sub-deacon. Mr. Oldrini acted as Master of Ceremonies. • • Prior to the Mass, Mr. A. Taylor, the Cathedral organist, rendered Chopin's Funeral March. The music of the Mass was Dr Terry's "Requiem"—an effective harmonised chant without accompaniment. At the conclusion of the Mass the Dead March in "Saul" was played on the organ by Mr. A. Taylor. A most touching incident was the sounding of the bugle at the solemn moment of Consecration. The Cathedral Choir, under the highly capable
direction of the conductor, Mr. Sydney Smith, excelled itself, in its sweetly devotional rendering of the sacred music, which lost none of its beauty for the thousands of listeners throughout the State. Many congratulatory messages were received as a result of the broadcast. All sections of the community were represented at the Mass. These were accommodated in specialty reserved seats in front of
the altar rails. Among those present were Senator P. J. Lynch, President of the Federal Senate (representing the Commonwealth Government); the Minister for Industries, Mr. J. J. Kenneally (representing the State Government); the Lord Mayor of Perth, Mr. J. J. Poynton; Lieutenant Commander F. J. Anderson, representing the Navy; the Consul for the Netherlands, Mr. Walter Johnson; Major Rowe (representing Swan Barracks); the Commissioner of Police, Mr. Hunter; the Town Clerk, Mr. Bold; Col. A. C. N. Olden, Col. J. E. Mitchell, and Messrs. T. Sten, E. S. Watt, W. J.
Hunt and C. G. Ferguson, representing the Returned Soldiers' League; Sergeant-Major H. James. representing the South African
V eterans' Association; as well as representatives of the following bodies: The Country Teachers' Association (Mr. Turner), the Teachers' Union (Mr. Thomas). the W.A. Nurses' Association; the Perth Sub-Branch R.S.L.; Ladies Auxiliary, R.S.L.; the Fire
Brigade Board; Officers of City of Perth Regiment, the Customs Department: the North Midland District Hospital; and the Boy Scouts and Girl Guides' Associations.
HIS GRACE'S TRIBUTE. In the course of an eloquent tribute to the memory of the latc Sovereign, His Grace the Archbishop Most Rev. Dr. Prendiville, voiced the feelings of his Catholic subjects throughout the A rchdiocese. The address was broadcast from Perth National S tation to Stations 6IX, 6ML, and 6PR, Perth, and 6AM. Northam. Making tht Whole World Kin. "With the passing of his late Most Gracious Majesty," said His Grace. "the ‘yhole world was united in feelings of deepest sympathy. -levelling for the time the barriers of class and creed and nationality, and uniting all in a common kinship of sorrow and sytnpathy. A Beneficent Ruler. For over a quarter of a century. said His Grace, the late
King had ruled over the destinies of the greatest Empire on earth with a benignity and impartiality that were worthy of the noblest traditions of the Royal House. In an age when monarchies had lost their hold in most of the countries of Europe, the Royal House of Windsor alone remained an outstanding exception. The bonds that united the monarch with his subjects and the Mother Country with her Dominions were never more closely knit in loyalty and affection than All durin“ the past 26 years. this, and more, must be attributed in 'very large measure to the outstanding personality of the late King, who had left to his successor the shining example of a benign ruler, and to his subjects the fragrant memory of a just and devoted monarch.

Why the Kookaburra Laughs HAVE
Mrs. Robinson, on the eve of a dinner-party, warned her butler on no account to offer wine to Mrs. Young, one of the guests. The dinner passed off successfully, but afterwards, when the ladies were in the drawine-room, Mrs. Young remarked to her hostess: "I don't want to be personal, but I should like to know why I was so pointedly ignored when the wine was being handed round to-niht." "Oh," said the hostess, "I told the Initlet about that. I know you have joined the Temperance League." "But," said the guest, "it was not the Temperance League I joined, it was the Morality League." "So stupid of me, clear," was the reply, "but I knew you had given up something." The reporter began to ask his questions. "And would you like to tell me what made you a multi-million. aire?" he asked. The terribly rich man looked pensive. "I think you can say my wife did," he replied at length. "I see, her loyal help "No, no. I was simply curious to know if there was any income she couldn't live beyond." Two men were drawing up articles of partnership before their lawyer. The lawyer went through the articles before the final signing, and suddenly said: "But there is no mention of fire or bankruptcy; these must go in." "Quite right," said the partners, speaking at once: "Put them in; but the profits are to be divided equally in both cases." A hopeful candidate in suburb called on an amateur g-ardner who was engaged in a futile search for his garden tools. "If your neighbours in this constituency return me--" he began. "It will be the first thing they've ever returned in their lives," said the amateur gardner. • "Yes, my friends," said the lecturer, "some admire Moses, who instituted the old law; some Paul, who spread the new. But which character in the Bible has had the largest following?" As he paused. a voice from the hall shouted: "Ananias!" A passenger had come to inquire for a long oblong brownpaper parcel which he said he had left in a local train that had arrived at Perth half an hour previously. He was: obviously worried and exc;ted about it. "Would it be anything like the one you've got under your arm, sir?" asked the lost-property official. "Bless my poor head !" said away. the inquirer, turning "Good day." The impecunious young man, writing to his bank requesting that a new cheque hook he forwarded to him, concluded his let-

ter: "Kindly let me know how my account stands." He reecived the following reply: "Sir,—In reply to your letter, we beg to state that your account does not stand. You withdrew its last support on the 2nd. inst." She was complaining that she never could find subjects for conversation. "Why don't you read books ?" was the suggestion of a friend. "But what kind of books?" "Oh, biographies, histories and so son." A few days later the visitor called again, and the hostess set off the conversation with the query: "Wasn't it awfully sad about Mary Queen of Scots?" The superintendent of a certain railway is very officious in insisting that station-masters send word immediately, no delays tolerated, of all accidents in their neighbourhood. Recently he received a wire: "Man fell from platform in front of moving train. Will wire details later." Five minutes ticked by, then came another telegram: "Everything O.K. Nobody hurt. Engine was going backwards." A temperance orator was describing how his life had been influenced by total abstinence. "You know," he said, "I am now chief of my department. Three years ago there were two men in the office who held positions superior to mine. One was dismissed through drunkenness. The other was led into crime. He is now serving a long term of imprisonment, and all through the influence of strong drink. Now, I ask," he cried, growing eloquent, "what has raised me to my present high position?" "Drink !" was the unexpected reply he received from a member of the audience. "If you are going down the road dear, you might bring a turnip from the greengrocer's," said his wife, just as Smith was shutting the front dor. "What size do you want?" he asked, and his wife called out: "Oh, as large as your head !" On the way down the road, Smith met a friend who, owninp an allotment, and hearing of tlic errand, said: "You neednt buy one, old chap; help yourself to a turnip from my bit of ground across the way; T've some beau ties there." A little later the friend was stopped by an acquaintance who inquired: 'Who is the man working on your allotment to-day? He's pulling up all your turnips and trying his bowler hat on each!"

rP- Intermediate Hz h School, HiAhAate Hill Blessing and Opening by His Grace the Archbishop SCHOOLS CONGRATULATED ON EXAMINATION SUCCESSES The beautiful and spacious new Intermediate High School and Residence, which was recently built for the Christian Brothers at the corner of Stirling-street and Harold-street, was blessed and officially opened by His Grace the Archbishop on Sunday A large afternoon, 26th. ult. crowd of parishioners attended, and on the platform with His Grace were the parish priest, Very- Rev. Father Crowley, the Consultor to the Provincial, Rev. Brother Conlon, the new Superior Of the school. Rev. Brother Traynor, the Minister for Works, Hon. J. J. Kenneally, M.L.A., the member for the district. Mr. McCallum Smith, M.L.A. The new school, which is a long-felt want, will serve as a day school for boys who have completed the second standard. It is divided into two sections— Boys Primary and Secondary. who are admitted to the Secondary section will be presented for all examinations up to and including the Junior University. It will thus afford the boys of the Sacred Heart and surrounding parishes a thoroughly religious, secular and cultural education. It will thus relieve the overcrowding at St. Patrick's Boys' School. The site for the building was selected by His Grace Dr. Prendivine last year. It is centrally situated for its purpose .and close by is a fine recreation reserve, to which the boys 1ilI have access. The edifice is a two-storey tileroof brick building, with front-
ages of 160ft. to Stirling-street and 68ft. to Harold-street. The architect was Mr. E. Le B. Henderson, and the contractors were Messrs. T. Snook and Son, whose tender was £9,229. That portion of the building facing Stirlingstreet is divided into six large class halls, wth accommodation for 300 pupils, and a large Science Laboratory furnished and fully equipped. A wide verandah and balcony protects the class rooms from the sun, and both floors are provided with spacious cloak rooms. The Harold-street end of the building has been designed as a residence for the Brothers, having ten bedrooms, bathroom accommodation, and a fine Chapel all on the first floor. The ground ' floor contains a reception room, office, library, recreation room, dining room, kitchen, scullery and staff quarters. Large Doric columns flank the entrances at each side. On the whole it is a magnificent building and equal to anything of its kind in Australia. His Grace Welcomed. Rev. Father Crpwley, the parish priest, in welcoming His Grace to Highgate, said it was a particular pleasure that day, because it meant the beginning of a new era in the parish. They had now two Sacred Heart schools— one for girls and one for boys— the finest in the State. He trusted that the liquidation of the debt would be seen to by the parishioners. and that their efforts would he as successful as the building was.

He was particularly pleased to see an old pioneer of the Christian Brothers there that day, Rev. Brother Conlon (Applause). His work for education in this State was something to be proud of, and was worthy of the highest t raditions of his -Order. Speaki,of their beautiful building, he congratulated the architect, Mr. E.

The Hon. J. J. Kenneally, in appealing for the support of the parishioners for their new school, said that he felt as a Catholic that the wonderful work which their schools performed was worthy of the highest praise. and no sacrifice was too great to enable the good work to be continued. As far as he himself was concerned. he would always be pleased to help them in whatever way he could. and felt that he could speak in the same terms for the parishioners of Highgate. He wished them. every success. (Applause.)

Mr. McCallum Smith and Rev. Brother Conlon also addressed the gathering, and wished the new school every success, Brother Conlon remarking that, like all the teaching Orders in Australia. the Christian Brothers were ever endeavouring to keep ahead of the times in the matter of training their staffs. At present they had 150 young Brothers at Strathfield, where they were intensively trained for the great work of Christjan education. (Applause.) Brother Traynor's Reply. The Principal of the new school (Rev. Brother Traynor) said, in reply, that the opening of another Catholic educational establishment was matter for rejoicing. He was gratified and encouraged by the welcome of the Archbishop, Very . Rev. Father Crowley, P.P., and the other speakers to the Christian Brothers that day. The Brothers, for their part, would do everything to train the boys to be staunch, practical Catholics during their school days, and leading Catholic men and citizens when they came to face the realities of life. Their secondary aim was to impart a sound secular education in the various branches of learning and culture The latter branch was too often neglected to the detriment of the boy. He should leave the class room a little gentleman as the result of a sound training in Christian politeness. The new school was magnifificiently planned and adequately equifVed, so that they might

Euthanasia
( By Rev. Dr. Rudolph G. Bandas). It seems that sentimentalism with periodic regularity overcomes calm judgment. The socalled "mercy-killings," which have occupied the attention of the press during the last few months, are a good exemplification of this principle. In 1930 a number of doctors throughout America were canvassed on the subject of euthanasia—a painless death for the hopelessly incurable, insane, or criminal—and half of them, it seems, advocated the practice. In May, 1931, an Illinois medical group memorialised the State Assembly in favour of the "administration of a painless death sleep to imbeciles and sufferers from incurable diseases." We know, too, of the case of the Bollinger baby in Chicago a few years ago; a physician permitted it to die on the plea that it would have grown up a deformed monster. Some of us still remember the headlines of the Commercial Tribune of Cincinnati, July 3, 1913, announcing that a physician had done away with several infants on a similar And now we read of a plea. Nebrasaka doctor who, by means of a hypodermic needle killed with poison two tramps who were caught underneath a wreck. Euthanasia is only a new word for murder. To kill a fellowmortal in pain, even at his own request, and be the motive what it may, is downright murder. "Thou shalt not kill" is a principle of the natural law, and is confirmed by the Decalogue and Wantonly the Christian code. to take human life is a violation of the sovereign rights of God.
the Supreme Lord of life and death (Deut. XXXII, 39; Wisd. X VI., 13-14). Every man, no matter how hopeless his condition may be, is made in God's image and likeness, was redeemed by Christ's Precious Blood, as a member of Christ's Mystic body and a candidate for heaven. These great truths must always direct men in their relations with one another. Sufferings have their place in the economy of salvation. If God Himself became incarnate and underwent so much suffering. and if He permitted His sinless mother to undergo such excessive suffering, there is obviously a wise law behind it. "For that which is at present momentary and light of our tribulation, worketh for us above measure exceedingly an eternal weight of glory" (II. Cor. IV, 17). The sufferings of this world are not to be compared with the glory that is to come. We shall be glorified with Christ only if we shall first suffer with Him. We must not be delicate members of a body whose Head is crowned with thorns. We must keep in mind that we have not here a "lasting city," but seek one which is to come. Man's true ead is not earthly pleasure but the possession of God, the Supreme Good. Physical pain is one of the most important factors in enabling man to attain this end. Were it not for trials and tribulations men would scarcely ever think of the future life and of their true end. INTERESTING AMERICAN QUESTIONNAIRE,

THE RECORD.
A cable from London during the week revealed the findings of the Archbishop of Canterbury's Commission into the relations of Church and State. Anglicanism reached a shattering crisis some few years ago when the issue of the revision of the Prayer Book was before the British Parliament. A very remarkable assortment of men sat in debate upon that document. Professional politicians of every shade of belief and disbelief were the official interpreters of the spiritual charter of the Church of England. Of course, an impasse was soon reached, and the debate became a cause celebre and a particularly unsavoury memory for many Anglicans. Naturally enough, there was some heart-burning among the leaders of the Church, and for the first time in its history Anglicanism was stung into examining the historical anomaly which made a Christian Church the puppet of the secular power. This led to the establishment of the Commission whose report has just been received. The Commission, it is stated, has rejected disestablishment as a remedy for the Church's present difficulties, if other means can be devised for securing to the Church freedom of action in things spiritual. Now the supreme irony of their position is that, whereas Anglicanism began its career by straining at what it called the spiritual autocracy of Rome, it bids fair to consummate an untimely end through swallowing the secular autocracy of the politicians. That Anglicanism stands at the cross-roads is sufficiently indicated by the very fact that disestablishment should ever have come to be considered. Though the Commission's report ends by leaving disestablishment as a last resort, it none the less expresses the conviction that it has a strong case. And few will deny that it has. Yet, despite the completely unsatisfactory and even impossible relations between the Church of England and the State, many are loathe to accept the radical alternative, for none can be blind to the reality to which disestablishment would give rise. Could Anglicanism survive divorced from political support :ind from the popular conception of it as a religion of patriotism? In the Catholic mind, the whole Anglican position is farcical. It has always been a taunt among Protestants that Catholics are cinder the yoke of a foreign enslavement. No Fess a person than Dean Inge exclaimed some years ago: "Are we to go back 400 years and grovel at the feet of an Italian priest?" These two factors were the allegedly incompatible ones to the spirit of English Protestantism—that Catholicism meant the loss oi liberty and the f oreign yoke. It would now seem as though the traditional historical theme has been reversed, and that the polemical boot is on the other foot. From the beginning Anglicanism was simply a department of the civil service. It was the child born of a King's passion.. It did not realise until a century ago that it was even desirable to be able to trace Apostolic succession. The question of servility did not perturb it. provided it were the headi servant. But the ancient, self-contained respectability of Anglicanism was shocked by the Prayer Book debacle into something like r evolution and rebellion. Disestablishment means nothing if it does not mean that the employee is anxious to start out on his own. • • So much for the question of liberty. As for the foreign yoke, it would have been difficult to have congregated a more alien array of spiritual belief than that which sat on the Prayer Book. But apart altogether from this critical point in Anglican history, what logical connection ever existed between Christian truth and geographical location? The most meaningless of all allegedly Christian mottoes is "cujus regio ejus religio." From that angle anyhow Anglicanism is nowise superior to the Nazi philosophy of race. It is all very bewildering to read that the Commission recommends that a request be made for a Parliamentary enactment giving the Church new powers in spiritual matters, without submission to Parliamentary control and approval. Surely the vaunted attachment to the Bible among Protestants should be able to clarify this matter. Christ made a distinct cleavage between the things that were Caesar's and the things that were God's. His Church He invested with such authority that it was to be His plenipotentiary on earth. A denomination laving claim to the title of Christianity should in decency be able to make some sort of preference_ in establishing how the Divine commission came to be vested in the British Parliament that it should now be able to dispense spiritual faculties to the Church.

Another feature of the proposed divorce reforms is grimly humorous. The generic term for all accepted grounds of divorce iz "lack of moral value." But the arbiter of moral values is not that of personal emotion, as in Protestantism ,nor of the individual Strangely conscience, but of authority imposed from without. ehough. however, it is precisely because the Catholic Hierarchy in Germany has claimed the right to wield a spiritual authority that it has suffered persecution. This is the most dangerous note in all the modern revolutionary social changes in Europe—the arrogation of a purely arbitrary spiritual despotism. But especially in this matter of marriage is it intolerable. They have stripped jr atrimonv of its sacred sacramental character, thereby reducing it to a merely civil contract, such as it was prior to Christianity. In this case the consent of the contracting parties is the essence of t he contract. Hence, if divorce is to be considered at all, it should depend on the mutual agreement of both parties. The State. which did not have anything to do with the contract save its legislation. has no conceivable right or authority to dissolve it.
Prirsi s in Politics An article in the "West Australian Church News" has recently revived interest in the question of clergymen entering politics. In the nature of things there appears no sufficient reason why churchmen should not have a hand in the government of the country. Many of history's greatest statesmen were members of the clergy. Such an achievement as Cardinal Richelieu's. a sketch of whose career appears elsewhere in this issue, leaves no doubt whatever as to the capabilities of priests in the political field. But, unhappily, these same periods of history indicate the extreme difficulty of combining the priestly and the civic offices without detriment to the former. Especially under modern conditions, x hereas the priest as a person of recognised integrity, might exercise a wholesome leavening influence on political life, he would be placed in the impossible dilemma of serving two masters whose. demands are frequently incompatible. • A s a matter of fact, neither the Catholic laity nor the priestood is anxious that clergymen should have a right to sit in Parliament.

Sacred Heart High School
The Sacred Heart High School, Highgate, Perth, established nearly forty years ago, is one of the leading secondary schools of Western Australia. It is conducted by a staff of well qualified teachers, and shortly after its establishment was placed on the list of approved secondary schools (1901) by the Education Department of WA., at whih Government scholarships are tenable. Among its past. students are many who have achieved distinction in connection with the Adelaide University, the University of Western Australia. and even the London University. Former students' have gained degrees in Arts. Law and Science at the University of Western Australia. The health of the boarders is the first consideration. Large and airy dormitories, sleeping out balconies, are one of the chief features "f the boa-' ing school. The school possesses a fine recreation grounds and hall. system of organised sport with excellent coachmg has been adopted. Among its ex students are some of the finest tennis players of the State. and two of the three State champions have held the junior and singles titles at the same time. The Sandovn intet. school tennis has been won ten years in succession, and in the Slazenser Cup competition the school has been the winner for eight cons.scutivs years The motto of the School is Virtue and Knowle dge , and to combine both. to be thorough in everything, to give t)ie best possible mental, moral and rihvsical training to each girl, is the prinrinle which has zoverned the Sacred Heart High School since its tablishment.
We survived two centuries this week. On Sunday the glass soared up to 112, and Monday was even hotter. February looks promising.
Amongst many other treasures which Northam posseses, our Fire Brigade ranks high and to the forefront. "Vigilans et audax" could truly be taken by
them as their motto. Their keenness and energy were demonstrated last week, when they responded to a fire alarm in Fitzgerald-street. The engine flashed down the main street manned by eight stalwart firemen in spotless uniforms and gleaming helmets. Their faces were tense and determined. They arrived at the scene of the conflagration to find—a butcher making hams in his backyard. ENGAGEMENT NOTICE. The engagement is announced between Millicent Mary, second daughter of Mr. and Mrs J.

DAVID COPPERFIELD An Appreciation of the Film Being an enthusiastic for the works of Dickens from school days, and one to whom the reading of "The Personal History, Life and Experiences of David Copperfield the Younger" (to give the book its original title) is an annual event, it was a true pleasure to see what Metro-Goldwyn-Meyer and its brilliant director, George Cukor, had done with the famous novelist's most beloved and best story. The chief hurdle that confronts the screen producer of the works of Dickens is the length of the novels and the enor.-mous number of characters. I was therefore not surprised to find some of the sub-plots omitted, and such characters as Tommy Traddles, the Strong's Rosa Dartle, Mrs. Steerforth, Martha, Mr. Omer, the volatile Miss Mourker, to name but a few. absent. This does not, however, detract from the beauty and outstanding quality of The compression of incithe film. dent has been done with remarkable ease, with the result that we have a story lucid, strong and beautifully de. signed.

Fields, as Mr. Micawber, exuberant and grotesque, shabby clothes, and imposing shirt collar; Maureen O'Sullivan, an enchanting and helpless Dora, the child wife; Basil Rathbone, as the handsome and sadistic Mr. Murdstone; Lionel Barrymore, a hale and hairy Dan Peggotty; Herbert Mundin. the natural choice for Barkis the willini; Jessie Ralph, the perfect PeErgotty; Hugh Williams, as a Steerforth, who might have come straight from CruiCkshank; Lennox Pawle, giving a remarkable study of the remarkable Mr. Dick; Frank Law. ton, as the grown-up David: Madge Evans, as the colourless Aenes; Elizabeth Allan as the pretty and submissive Mrs. Copperfield; Lewis Stone. as Mr. Wickfield—it is impossible to do more than mention their names. This review, because of its length, must end, but if it has induced the reader to see the picture, to be shown shortly at the Theatre Royal. the writer will be recompensed, because this picture will make one feel happy and proud of the motion picture art of recent vears—S.F.R1A.

"A Vicious Circle." "A. X." (Nedlands) : "Do not Catholics reason in a circle when they prove a teaching Apostolate by the Bible, and then the Bible by this teaching Apostolate?" Reply: We do not reason in a circle. If we were to prove the Apostolate from the inspired Scriptures, and then the inspired Scriptures from the Apostolate, we would be guilty of the fallacy of the vicious circle. On the contrary, we do not in any way pre-suppose that the books of the New Testament are inspired, but only that they are genuine, authentic documents, written by honest men. We allow the words of Christ and His Apostles to speak for themselves, without appealing to the authority of the Church. The Bible proves that the Church's claims were the same in the beginninr, as they are now, while the Church pledges the authority it has received from Christ in support of the inspiration and inerrancy of the Bible. Thus both Bible and Church depend on the authority of Our Lord. The Church also appeals to the Bible as a contemporary record of historical facts. When two independent witnesses confirm each other's evidence, the argument for truthfulness of both is not circular, but cumulative. "Costly Churches." "Anxious" (Rosalie) : "Why do Catholics spend thousands, and even millions, on the building of their churches, when all around than are thousands ot poor people sadly in need of even the necessaries of life?" Reply: Because they know that their churches are really Houses of God, where Jesus Christ is really present. If men of the world who love their wives build magnificent homes for them when the-- can afford it, ought not the Catholic people build beautiful dwelling places for Christ. their Lord and King? The Catholic Church has always been the great lover of the poor. and the Catholic priest ever their truest friend, as the universal love of the poor for him abundantly proves. The money spent in church building is a practical. substantial proof of the Cht,rch'q love of Christ. and of the poor, who are always welcome within her sanctuary.

The members of the ,Catholic Young Ladies' Club held their first meeting for the year last Thursday evening. We were very pleased to see a good crowd of members roll up for the initial meeting of the year. The main item of discussion was the river trip, which we had intended to hold next Thursday evening. However, as the weather has been so uncertain lately, it was decided to postpone the trip for a few weeks. Do not forget, girls. next Thursday evening is to take the form of a games evening, so we want all of you to come along and enjoy yourselves. We are hoping to see all the old faces and a lot of new ones at the meeting next week, so all you old members, and new ones too, come along in good time, so that we can start right in making plans for the For the benefit of year's activities. girls iyho\do not already belong to the Club, but are desirous of joining, the meetings are held every Thursday eevning at eight o'clock in the Cathedral Hall, Murray-street. The annual dinner was held in December, and was voted the most suecessful function of the year. A large crowd of old and rw members were presided over by the president (Miss K. Brosnan). who welcomed the visitors from various other societies. It was very edifying indeed to see so many of our married members, which showed they still have the interests Musical and of the Club at heart. vocal items were rendered by Misses Teresa O'Sullivan and Miss Jean Han Mrs. J. McIntyre and Miss M. ford. Walker acted as accompanistes,. and Miss Gert. Sporer caused riotous fun with her elocutionary items. After the dinner dancing was indulged in till a late hour and thus ended our final successful function of the old year. Members of the Club, and especially those of not so recent years, were deeply grieved to hear the sad news of of the passing of one of our most popular members, in the person of Miss Ellie Gardner. on Thursday, January Though not being able to take 2.1. an active part in the Club for some time, she always welcomed news from thipse who visited her, especially the girls who formed the dramatic club some time ago. A large. number of friends attended the Requiem Mass and last rites at Karrakatta among them being noticed many of her old Club friends. R.I.P.

The first meeting of the society since the new committee came into office was held at the Club Rooms on the 23rd. tilt., when the recently elected president ( Jim Treacy) occupied the chair. During the course of the evening the Spiritual Director, Rev. Dr. Goody, congratulated the members of the committee on their election to office, and also expressed his pleasure and satisfaction at the splendid attendance of members at the society's quarterly Communion held the previous Sunday. After the completion of general business, the syllabus item for the evening was proceeded with, viz., a lecture by Dr. Goody. on his travels abroad. In the course of his lecture, the speaker dealt mainly with his travels in Dalmatia. He described many old world places of interest, and by means of photographs he kept the close attention of members throughout. At the conclusion of the lecture, a hearty vote of thanks was accorded Dr. Goody for his lecture, which all agreed was of a most interesting nature. The syllabus item for next meeting night is a mock court, and judging by the enthusiasm already disnlaved by members and the activity of our secretary, Jack Lovis, a good night is assured. The syllabus items for the following nights are: February 6, Lecture by Dr. Smith; February 13, Ladies' Night; February 20, Harmony Night and Bun-Eating Contest: Feb ruary 27, Impromptu Speech Night.

Social. Members, whilst regretting to hear that Mr. Bill English has been transferred to the coast (the Perth Boys' School), will be pleased to know that the move means promotion.

The usual meeting of the Study Circle took place before the meeting on Monday night, and the members showed great interest in the subjects The study of Apologetics discussed. has been furthered every Monday night now for some time, and the attendance speaks eloquently of the appeal it has to the members. Cricket. The first innings of the match between K.C.Y.M.S. and A.N;A., played on Sunday, resulted in a win for our team. who succeeded in compiling 152 runs in quick time. The principal scorers were Frank Bown (28) and Tony Tomich and "Chilly" Day (27 runs each). Good fielding and excellent bowling kept A.N.A. in check, and they only made 36 runs. "Chilly- Day secured 5 wickets for 12 runs. They will now have to follow on next Sunday, and with our team in good form again, we are confident of a fairly easv victory. Debating. The public are cordially invited tn attend the debate to he held in St Mary's Hall next Monday night, commencing at 8.30 The subject selected, "Is the effect of the modern newspaper pernicious?" is an interesting one, and should provide some arguments both "for" and "against."

All were very sorry to hear that our past president, Bro. Brady, was on the sick list, and trusted that he would make a speedy recovery. Members were disappointed to hear that the general picnic was again to be held at Point Walter, most members thinking that some other spot could have been selected. Seeing that our last outing to Rockingham was such a success, it was decided to have another one on Sunday week. Buses will leave the Gaiety Theatre at 10 a.m. on that day. We heard some good size fish were caught by some of our party, and as the time wore on the fish got bigger; so to see who is right, we have decided to hold a fishing competition and we will supply the bait. No fish tales and no silver hooks allowed; the goods must be shown to win. Next meeting night a surprise competition will be held, so a good muster is requested at 8 p.m. St. Kevin's Branch. There was a good attendapce at St. Kevin's meeting. last week—all officers being present. Members were pleased to see Bro.

BIRTHDAY GREETINGS TO Nancy O'Dea, Clement Eaton and Valerie Morris. My Dear Nieces and Nephews,Although there is sorrow over our sunny land and in countless hearts that mourn the death of our King, we must rejoice with the three of you on the celebration of your birthday anniversaries, and wish you the choicest heavenly graces, and every pleasant and thoughtful gift and token that will make your celebration of the joyous occasions a sunshiny experience and an abiding memory of sweetness. Therefore, a very happy birthday to each of you. to you. Nancy, on the 4th., when you will be Twelve; on the 5th., when you, Clem, will be 13, and on the 7th., when you, Valerie, will be 8. The other day I happened to . be looking at somebody's memorian . card, and though I have looked it it daily for a lone time past, the thought never occurred so vividly as it did the other day that there are exactly the same number of letters in those twi , small words—"Born" and ' Died.And how very small those two important words are. Yet, if God gives us the blessing of a long lite. what a lot is fitted into the years that come in between those two small words. What a lot was fitted into the long life if King George the Fifth, and because he only allowed all that was noble and kind and peace-loving and holy to fit into the seventy years he lived, the whole world is sad because so good a king is now no more, and although there are hundreds in Australia and in other parts of the world who never saw His Majesty, still. we feel that God has taken someone out of life that was worthy of all the love and loyalty his subjects could give him, and which they did give him since he became their monarch.

On Tuesday evening last, the w eekly bridge party conducted by the members of St. Vincent de Paul Society took place in St. Joseph's Hall, Subiaco. The interest shown by the number present and the valuable assistance of Miss Jones and Mrs. Wardrop, are certainly indicative of a successful bridge season. The parishioners of Subiaco are cordially invited to spend an enjoyable bridge evening each Tuesday, and incidentally assist the charitable work of St. Vincent de Paul Society.

A geographical outline of Palestine was given to enable the members the better to understand the Life of Our Lord, which is one of the objects of the Circle. The subject discussed was the Nature of God, and this will be repeated at the next meeting. Those present showed by their attentiveness and questions that a keen interest is being taken in the work of the Study Circle. Wednesday evening last, the men's branch of St. Vincent de Paul Society, Subiaco, held their weekly meeting. The president, Bro. Wall, in the name of those present, bade farewell to one of the Conference's most active members. Mr. P. Ryan, who left

Catholic News From Everywhere The Case Against Sterilisation The following conclusions ar rived at by the committee for the investigation of sterilisation will be of interest to our readers. The committee in question was an authoritative one appointed more than a year ago by the American Neurological Association to investigate the working of the sterilisation laws in those American States which enforce them. According to the "Cape Times," its conclusions are as follows:

LONGED TWAIN M ARK FOR FAITH, SAYS WRITER. In commemoration of the centenary of the birth of Mark Twain (Samuel L. Clemens)„ "The Catholic Transcript," of Hartford, Conn., U.S.A., publishes an editorial feature which r eads in part as follows: "It will not do to maintain that Mark Twain held all reliSomeone contempt. gion in informat ion: 'He this ouchsafe d v had scorn for all formal religion, especially the Catholic Church. W hen one of his daughters was s tudying in a convent he wrote to his wife to tell her that he would not be sorry 'if they made a good, strong unshakable Catholic of her. He then went on to say that the Catholic religion 'is, doubtless, the most peacegiving and restful of all religions.' After that he writes a few words which should dismiss the claim that he had scorn for the Catholic religion: 'If I had it I would not trade it for anything on earth.'"

THE DIOCESAN PAPER. The Diocesan paper is specially important to the Church, because that means a "Catholic paper in every Catholic home." It is natural that Catholics are interested in local and diocesan affairs and events, and that they support the paper which is to promote and defend Catholic interests in the diocese. The diocesan paper is especially important for the development and promotion of interest in reading Catholic papers and magazines by the children as well as the grown-ups—the children as well as parents like to peruse the Catholic weekly for its church and social events and news. "A Catholic home wthout a paper is not a Catholic atholic C home, because there are no Catholic ideas and Catholic sensibilities."—Dr. Keilman, S.J.C.

U.S. CARDINAL ANSWERS C RITICS OF BIRTH CONTROL SERMON. Charging them with ignoring moral values, Cardinal Haye,-, Archbishop of New York, his hit back at the Protestant and Jewish clerical critics of his - -mon on birth prevention, in which he stated that any redti. tion in the birth-rate would increasc unemploym en t. that a f alling birth-rate means an age: ing population and that family limitation amounts to race suicide. The Cardinal is surprised that a "group of professed leaders of religious thought s hould make the sole test as to the desirability of any pro gramme or policy a utilitarian one, leaving out ill consideration of any question of morals in v olved. "The essence of my Sunday sermon w as that contraception is morally wrong. and t hat it contravenes the moral law."
