Fourteenth Anniversary of Pope's Consecration The Holy Father's Long and Outstanding Pontificate

Burn at Desio, near Milan, in 1857, Achelles Ratti first studied at the Diocesan Seminary in Milan, and later at the Lombard College in Rome, when he was ordained priest at the age of 22. Father Ratti read a brilliant course and secured the triple doe torate, viz., in Philosophy, Theology, and Canon Law. Three years after his ordination, at the early age of 25, he was appointed to the Professorship of Dogmatic Theology and Sacred Eloquence in the Milan Seminary. His great erudition soon became known, and at the instance of celebrated the scholar, Monsignor Ceriani, he was appointed to the College of Doctors at Milan's famous Ambrosian Library. On the death of Mgr. Cgriani, Dr. Ratti was named Prefect. During this period he earned, throughout f taly and Europe, no mean literary reputation. His essays, arTHE HOLY FATHER ON THE OCCAS ticles and treatises of a literary ION OF OF HIS SACERDOTAL GOLDEN JUBILTHE CELEBRATION and scientific nature can be numEE IN 1929. bered by hundreds.

escite in Upper Silesia at the unanimous request of Poland, Germany and the Inter-Allied Commission.. No chater in the Pope's marvellously varied career will assume greater importance than his diplomatic successes in Warsaw. In 1921, at the completion of his successful mission, he was made Archbishop of the historic See of Milan, and at the same time received the red hat. The scholar displayed in the episcopate an equal genius for activity. He assumed the pastoral care of a diocese of 800 parishes with nearly 3.000.000 subjects. His first move was to appeal for 100.000 lire to provide for religious education in the primar) schools of Milan. The amount was oversubscribed by 14,000 lire. Another great achievement was his prosecution of Cardinal Ferrari's design to found a Catholic University which Cardinal Ratti successfully completed. During this period .and during his previous sojourn in Milan, the future Pope won distinction as an Alpine climber, a sport which he dearly loved. His crossing of the Marinelli gorge in 1889. and of the Zumstein hill for the first time Qfl record, remains celebrated in Italian Alpine annals. Such in brief is the career of the scholar, diplomat, apostle, and explorer prior to his election as Pope on Februar-- 6. 1922. It is interesting to note in passing the alleged prophecies of St. Malachy concerning the characteristics of future Pontiffs. These w ere printed towards the end of the 16th. century. and though their authencity is much disput- • ed by historians, it yet remains that some of the mottoes into which the Papal characteristics are crystallised, have been uncannily verified. Of Pius IX., for instance, the prediction was "A Cross from a Cross." This may be verified by the cross of his banishment by the House of Savoy, whose coat of arms contained a cross. Leo XIII. was "a light in heaven." The supporters of the Malachian prophecies point to the star on his coat of arms, and to his great intellectual achievements. "A bi.rning fire" was the characteristic foretold of Pius N.. and indeed his zeal was his outstanding characteristic. Benedict XV.'s "depopulated religion" was only too sadly true. Of the present Pope, "undismayed faith" was announced. What could be more apposite of the leader of Christ's Church as he stands undaunted amid the ruin of Western civilisation? 4

A very pretty wedding was recently solemnised at St. Mary's Cathedral, when Rose, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Emil Nulsen, of Salmon Gums, and Patrick Augustine, younger son of Mr. and the late Mrs. James Riley, of Kalgoorlie, were united in Holy Matrimony. the Rev. Father Kelly officiating. To the strains of the Wedding March the bride entered the church on the arm of her father. She was a graceful figure in her frock of dull French needlerun lace, modelled on classic lines with new Dolman sleeves. A feature of her gown was the long beautiful train which was cut in the frock. The double sheathed tulle veil was worn over the face and held in place with a dainty halo of orange blossom, showing her head unveiled at the back. A sheaf of white gladioli and gardinias completed her very lovely bridal toilet. The bride was attended by two bridesmaids, Miss Kathleen McAllan and Miss Nell Riley (sister of the bridegroom), who were gowned alike in forget-me-not blue lace, cut on close fitting lines, with trained skirts edged with taffeta frills. Dainty capes made of frilled lace and taffeta were worn. and blue silk gloves with gauntlets of frilled taffeta gave quite an unusual effect. Large blue crinoline picture hats and silver shoes completed a very attractive toilet. They carried bouquets of gold roses. Mr. S. J. Stokes carried nut the duties of best man. and Mr. Bert Nulsen (brother of the bride) was groomsman. After the ceremony a reception was held at the Royal 'Automobile Club where relatives and close friends were received by the bride's mother, wearing a very attractive frock of 'hiege lace with hat and shoes to tone, and carried a posy of autumn tinted roses. She was assisted by Miss N. White (aunt of the bridegroom), who chose a smart frock of navy and white dull crepe with hat to tone. Her posie was also of autumn tinted roses During the breakfast the usual toasts were honoured and mans- con gratulatorY telegrams were read, after which the bride cut the beautiful wedding cake. Dancing and itemq followed, and later the happy couple left for their honeymoon (which i beinv spent in Singapore), the bride travel• line in a dusty pink dull crepe frock with navy blue accessories. and -arty. ing a beautiful stone marten f -!from the bridegroom. .Mr. and Mrs. Pat Riley were the orients of many cherries and ful presents.

Test Cricketer Raised to Altar

It is usual for the Bishop of elanesia to present to his churches a photograph of himself. When he visited one of these churches he had no picture. But the natives found in a newspaper a coloured photograph of Stanley McCabe. Test cricketer and Australia's vice-captain in

South Africa. So they inAalled McCabe—who, incidentally, is a Catholic—as "Bishop." Later the Bishop sent the natives a picture of himself, but they said, "No. This one more better." So McCabe still hangs over the Altar, relates Canon Hughes, president of the Victorian Cricket Association.

There was a fairly good a ttendance of members, among whom were were pleased to see several new We were sorry, however, to ones. notice the absence of Misses Eileen and Mona Walker, Madeliene and Jean Orr, and Sheila Whitely, all of whom we understand were busy attending an impromptu party at Scarborough, giv• en in honour of the coming of age of one of the most popular members of the C.Y.M.S., Mr. Ron Orr, who is in. cidentally Madeliene's and Jean's brother. However, we will overlook their non-attendance on this most important occasion, as they are all some of the club's most regular attendants. Eileen, indeed, having secured the Club's prize for the most regular attendance at meetings last year. Next Thursday evening, after the meeting, a paper will be given by one of our members, Miss Thelma Corry, and we would like as many members as possible to attend. We know that summer time is holiday time, still most of you will have returned from the various beaches and other holiday resorts, and will once more have settlel down to hard work. So you will all probably welcome the opportunity of coming along to the meetings each Thursday eveninv and cheering yourselves up by talking over your holidays with your many Club friends.

Hynes presided over the meet ing held on January 24. and delegates represented Subiaco, District Board, Maylands, West Perth, South Perth, Leederville, Victoria Park, St. Pat rick's. Cottesloe, and Highgate. The river trip to Canning Bridge, followed by a dance at the tea rooms, was a great success ,and the "Valfrieda' was taxed to its full capacity. The cricket club will benefit and the sincere thanks of the council are due to the musicians and to Mrs. Clinton, of Canning Bridge Tea Rooms. Another such outing will be held on the 7th. inst., and a large attendance is anticipated. The annual picnic will be held at Point Walter on the 23rd. inst., and all members are requested to give their whole-hearted support to assure the success of this annual function.

Everybody admires a champion horse to look at, be it a galloper or trotter, but to see a champion in an. tion is undoubtedly an added thrill. This State is very fortunate, thanks to the W.A. Trotting Executive, in having with us the fastest champion trotters from all parts of Australasia. Opportunities are rare to witness such a galaxy of talent in competition races, and as there are only a few meetings the West Australian public will no doubt show its appreciation of such a colossal enterprise by giving its patronage to the greatest cham . pionship trotting carnival in trottin g history in this State. To-night the One Mile Championship will be raced. Next Wednesday, February 12, the 1)). Miles Championship: next Saturday. February 15, there will be a 2 mile race for the champions, and on Wednesday, 19th. inst., the grand final, in which all champions with the highest points the up to 9 will compete to decide the title of champion horse of the carnival, and the winner of the gold cup, sash, and stake of £1,500.

Modern Theories on the Nature of God Article III. While the Moderns are unanimous in declaring that the traditional doctrines on the nature of God are in need of revision, very few, if any, of them have an accurate knowledge of these doctrines, as we will show later. The whole modern concept of God seems to be dominated by ideas: (1), two fundamental Monism, (2) Evolution. Monism. The first of these modern conThe human cepts is Monism. intellect naturally seeks the unification of knowledge; it spontaneously "seeks to reduce facts and truths to the fewest and most general principles. Now Christian philosophy satisfies this rational need without doing violence to obvious and essential differences revealed to us in our experience. It derives the multiplicity of the world, by Creation from one Supreme Spiritual Principle, called God. The Creator is present in the universe, conserving it in existence, concurring in its every movement, yet radically and essentially distinct from it and transcending it infinitely. The Moderns, however, are not satisfied with this teaching. It would perhaps be more accurate to say that they have totally misunderstood it. Thus Professor Brightman—to quote one instance—defines transcendence as the belief "that God is separate and distinct from the universe and is not present in it ("Problem of God," p. 79). The Moderns, of whom Prof. Brightman is a typical example, thus confuse the traditional doctrine of transcendence with the separatenes proper to Deism. The doctrines thus understood, they rightly reject; but, unfortunately, they then rush to the opposite extreme of absolute Monism. They declare that God is not onlY separate from the world, but immunent in it in the sense of being organic with it; one with it; God and the world are one. Now, since God is organic with the world—since there is ontological continuity between the world and God, it follows that God does not possess the attributes of omnipotence, transcendency. immitability, and infinity, any more than the world possesses them. Furthermore. He becomes, as Professor Brightman admits, an "aspect of reality." But we must allow ttie Moderns to state their own doctrines:— Rev. Wyndham Heathcote: "Philosophy is no longer dualistic. because we do not now think there is a gulf between God and man, but rather think in terms of the divine humanity—that all men are Divine, and that the universe is a thought of God saturated with eternal consciousness." ("Daily Telegraph" report of sermon. Monday. June 5. 1933. p. 8). son: "God is " not an absolute being, living in solitary bliss and perfection, but a God who lives in the perpetual giving of Himself • . the ultimate conception is not that of a pre-existent Creator, but as it is for religion that of the eternal Redeemer of the world. This perpetual process is the very life of God, in which besides the effort and the pain, he tastes, we must believe, the joy of victory won."

(Special to "The Record," by H. F. B.)

work ("Les deux sources de la morale et de la Religion"), he states that the "Elan is of God, if it is not God Himself." Elsewhere in the same work he defines God as creative and creating Love. By this he seems to mean the Elan Vital as the source of ever new forms of reality—identical with itself—which it produces in the course of its triumphant ascent. It would seem, in other words, that the Elan Vital and God are two aspects of the same reality. The theory of Professor S. Alexander, late of Manchester, bears a striking resemblance to the foregoing. Alexander is convinced that there is only one matrix from which all qualities come. This matrix is Space— Time. Space-Time is motion in itself without the motion of a body. Space and Time are not distinct. Time is the soul of Space-Time; Space is the body of Space-Time. From Space-Time all things come. In the course of evolution it breaks itself up into various existents. all of which are retained in the all-embracing stuff of Space-Time. As regards God, Alexander draws a distinction between deity and God. Deity is a quality; God is a Being. Deity is the next higher empirical quality to the one we know. When Space-Time was in the earlier stages of its evolution. deity was matter; when it arrived at matter deity was life: when it arrived at life deity was mind; now that it has arrived at mind deity is the higher quality that is next to appear. According to Alexander. God is the world as progressively evolving, or the universe in its creative aspect. Theories of this type are legion to-day. but in a subsequent article we will nive a refutation of them and a clear exposition of the correct doctrine.

Sir Henry Jones writes: "The at present the vital achievement idea of Gud as the perfect in pro- of the book is that it inflicts an cess, as a movement from splen- irremediable death wound upon dour to splendour in the spiritual intellectualism. . .

But this new perfection is not the explicitation or unfolding of perfection already implicitly contained in existing reality. It is a new creation. This finite God, organic with the world, confers on Himself, by a series of creative acts, a perfection which previously He in no way possessed. It may be noted here that this idea of a growing God is due not only to the loose evolutionism of current culture, hut also to an extreme reaction against the old notion of immutability wrongly understood. Confusing the immutability of a Being, which is the fulness of life, activity, perfection. with the static inertia which one would predicate of a brick, the Moderns have jumped to the conclusion that a thing cannot be alive unless it grows. to take the place of those who have gone out to work since the ColThis is a typical example, in their lege reopened.

PERTH, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1936.

The Study Circle Movement

W e remark with pleasure upon the inauguration, during the past week, of the fifth Study Circle within the Archdiocese. This is indicative of a new spirit of vitality and development which illustrates the readiness and eagerness of the Catholics of this State to prepare themselves adequately for the Crusade of Catholic Action when it shall be officially promulgated. It is, however, immeasurably more necessary that these groups should be solidly established as to quality rather than as to numbers. For the numerical test is intolerably insufficient to measure the depth and the breadth of Catholicism, and the experience of the past illustrates abundantly that where the statistical emphasis has been the main one in such movements, the rate of infant mortality has reached alarming heights. Discussion is the life-blood of study; but where numt>ers abound discussion degenerates into dissension and the loudest voice prevails. ‘ 4, It might be said that the movement towards the study of the Church. Her organisation, life and teaching is the apex of Catholic Action according to its official definition by the Pope. Catholic Action means that the Holy See now extends to the layman a unique privilege which he has not enjoyed, in practice anyhow, since the Reformation. By that dread heresy the layman was degraded to the status of a merely advisory financier or social organiser in the Church. By Catholic Action the Holy Father readmits the layman to share in the Apostolic labours of the hierarciiy. Now, the chief office of the Apostolic commission given by Christ to His Apostles was that of teaching. To share in the moulding of the individual and national ideas and ideals, to that is the layman called by the special vocation of the lay apostolate. In the beginning, the colossal task of instructing the world was supernaturally assisted by a prodigality of miracles, prophecies. and the gift of tongues. But the charismata has passed, and the Church has evolved a solid and elaborately rationalised science of teaching in philosophy and theology. The modern world is to be reconverted to Christ not by miracles, but by prayer and the human intellect. If the layman is to share in the Church's teaching commission (and the Pope has expressly forbidden inactivity), he must become intelligent and informed at least in regard to fundamentals of the Church's vast treasury of learning. This intellectual knowledge should tend to s trengthen the faith of the individual ,and from the Apostolic viewpoint, is indispensable in external activity both in explaining and in defending the Faith. In the far-off days when all Europe was blessed in its possession of the Light. it was sufficient that the clergy of the Church should have an explicit knowledge of the reasons which could be adduced in support of Catholic Truth. But to-day, 'the whole face of the earth is changed. Nowhere outside the Church is there so complete an attachment to the full truth that heresy in one form or another may not be found. From the numerical standpoint alone, the clergy cannot cope with the rising tide. It may be said, without exaggeration, that the advent of Christ's kingdom on earth depends to an unitnagined extent on the zeal and knowledge of the Catholic layman. • Yet, although knowledge is essential to the lay apostolate, it is not the primary nor the most important factor. It must he preceded, and at all times accompanied, by personal sanctity. Unhappily, however, there is a vague yet widespread misapprehension as to what exactly holiness is. It is certainly not merely a matter of external piety nor of spasmodic devotions. It is something that the individual is rather than something that he has. It is a constant disposition of the heart, mind and will, which prompts one always to seek and to choose the Will of God. Now, it should be unmistakably evident that it demands sottething higher than the "purgative way," that state wherein the soul is constantly on the border-line between a state of grace and a state of grievous sin. If the lay Apostle is willing to accept nothing higher or harder than the Decalogue, it seems that for many the Incarnation has been void and meaningless. Whatever else holiness means, it postulates the following of Christ, the quest of the Christian virtues. These are infinitely hard to appreciate as abstract ideas. But in the New Testament, in the sacred humanity of Christ Our Lo., d, they become qualities possible for flesh and blood to attain Such a knowledge of Christ begets love: love je proven in to. .-,ervice. So holiness is placed within the grasp of the lay apostle

Saturday, February 8, 1936.

As the number of these study groups increases, so it would seem desirable and even urgent to lend the movement some unity arid coherency. This could be achieved by a Central Council composed of delegates from each parochial unit. Such a body could co-ordinate both the internal and the external activity of the parochial groups by drawing up a syllabus of study. and a reading list which would be common to all the groups, exercise a strict supervision to insure that the curriculum was thoroughly treated, and at the end of the training period, direct external activity by a considered plan of local needs. The whole scheme, of course, to be worked out in close and complete co-operation and subordination to the Archbishop and the parish priests. It would seem essential, moreover, to place a definite limit on the numbers which would constitute a parochial group. Far better to have two small groups in one parish than one, over-large and unwieldly. In this way, individual difficulties can be solved, and thoroughness and personal contact ensured. If the .movement is to persevere and flourish, as it has done in every part of the Catholic world, some such strict control and organisation will be necessary, though the group meetings will benefit greatly by informality. That this will eventuate in the near future is our sincere wish, for nothing will contribute deeper or most lasting benefits to the life of our Catholic communtiy than a band of men and women united by sanctity and Catholic knowledge in the cause of Christ the King.

The pretty little chapel was artistically adorned with agapanthus, carnations and maidenhair-fern, the whole scheme being carried out in white and gold, the rich gold lace hangings and the massive brasses glistening amid the chaste wax candles. The Sister received was Miss Irene Meathrel. in religion. Sister Mary Dolores, the youngest (laughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. A. .•feathrel, of "Coola" Station, Brewarrina, New South Wales. Her mother and sister (Mrs. J. R. Phillips, of Bendigol had travelled across the Continent to represent the family on the happy occasion. His Grace Archbishop Prendiville officiated, assisted by Rev. Father Placid, O.S.B. At 3.30 the Sisters, clad in cream ceremonial cloaks, and bearing lighted tapers, were led in procession by the cross-bearer, Miss Kathleen Kenneally, while the choir sang very devotionally the rubrical hymn, "0 Gloriosa Virginum" to the accompaniment of the organ and violin, the latter being most feelingly rendered by Miss Eileen Kenneally. A t the rear of the procession, accompanied by the Rev. Mother Superior and her assistant- came the noviceelect, adorned as a bride. At the end of the hymn, the ceremony' proceeded according to the established form of the grand old Presentation Order. The Archbishop presented the ornamented wax candle to the novice-elect, and, for the benefit of those present, repeated in English the touching prayers associated with this and every other step in the ceremonv. The Postulant left the Chapel, and. haying discarded the bridal attire, re. turned clad in the holy habit in company with the Superiors, all bearing lighted candles to the strains of "Otte est ista."

by the prayers and hymns of the ceremonial and all culminated in thc solemn intonation of "The Veni Creator" by the Archbishop. which was taken up by the choir while His Grace blessed the novice as she lay prostrate before the altar. The novice having risen, His Grace gave a very touching address. He congratulated her on the great honour of receiving the Habit of the Presentation Order: he congratulated her mother in a particular manner, declaring that it must he a great (lay indeed for her to see borie of her bone and flesh of her flesh deemed worthy to be clothed in the Holy Habit of Religion Quoting the Gospel, His Grace developed The Call of the Young Man to perfection—contrasting the Sisters joyous response with his sad re fusal. He referred to Our Lord's loving little scene at Bethany with Martha and Mary- and most fittingly corr. pared the new Sister's life with that of the Blessed Mother of Sorrow. standing under the Cross faithful to her Divine Son. The religious life was compared with the passing of God's chosen people to the promised land If the religious proved faithful and bore her trials in a Christian spirit, then religion would be filled with the refreshing waters of consolation and comfort. His Grace again renewed his felicitations to the novice, her relative , and the Community and besought her to love the Blessed Virzin and Her Divine Son in those beautiful words: "Mother of Christ! gother of Christ! What shall I do for Thee? r will love thy Son with the whole of my strength. MY only love shall He be. The choir took up the echo sod most fittingly repeated the verses of the same lowly hymn.

Very shortly we hope to see both the men- and women of the parish enrolled as members of the two societies, so it is safe to presume that the second Sunday will see a big attendance at the meeting of the Holy Name Society, as the men are anxious to be consistent in their attendance and thereby find themselves fulfilling the first obligation of the society. Witt the resumption of school at St. Gerard's, we can anticipate both the Sisters and pupils entering into their work with renewed vigour after the long Christmas vacation. and we are sure to see this year a repetition of the excellent work done by the Sisters during their Years here in Palmyra. Several little functions held so far for the various stalliholders in the forthcoming bazaar have proved very successful, and n doubt the house party to he held at the home of Mrs. McLean, ofr Bristol-avenue, in the in. terests of her daughter Peggy. who is popular girl for the Palmyra Stall, will be equally successful. The river trip organised by the Misses Fitzgerald and Morrow for Mrg Miller's stall, was well enjoyed those fortunate enough to attend.

The children were well catered for with prizes, and the ladies also entered into their races in the right spirit.

CRUCIFIX BACK IN BUADPEST SCHOOLS. The crucifix has now been restored to the walls of all the lecture rooms in the high schools of Budapest. This is one sign of the tremendous religious change that has taken place in these schools which. 15 Years ago. were completely ruled by liberalism and Freemasonry. In the University of Budapest and the Technical High School, too. the crucifix has been restored A t the time of Socialistic rule.

Opening of New Presbytery. There is a slight change in the arrangements for the opening of the new Presbytery. Instead of having it on next Wednesday. February 12, we are holding it on the following Sunday. February 16, at 3 p.m. This is not due to any incompleteness of the

building, in fact Dr. Goody will be going into residence early next week, but because, on reconsideration, it has been decided that a larger attendance is likely to be present on the Sunday afternoon than on the Wednesday evening. First of all the new building will be blessed; then there will be one or two appropriate addresses, the balance sheet will be read. and, finally, the house will be open to the inspection of the visitors. We sincerely hope that mans' of our friends from outside the parish will honour us with their presence. and will do what they can towards making the opening a financial success also. We would like every reader to take this as a personal invitation to attend. Naturally it goes without saying that all the parishioners are expected to be there. Mrs. \V.

Speaking of Converts Apropos a statement which appeared in this Corner . a few weeks ago, regarding the swallowing of a tooth by Miss Helen McDermott, formerly of Christchurch, said one bright young thing to the other over the morning tea-cups: "I never knew Nellie was a convert until I saw it in 'The Record' the other day. I was certain she was always a Catholic." "Of course she has always been a Catholic," replied the other bright young thing, "what on earth put the convert idea into your head?" "Well, it said in 'The Record' that Miss Helen McDermott, formerly of Christchurch, swallowed her tooth, so she couldn't have always been a Catholic if she formerly belonged to Christ Church!" Another cup of tea. thank You!

Sandy McDougall's Capture by Mermaids Verified £50 Ransom Demanded by Pancake Tuesday, February 25, 1936 SUBSCRIPTIONS URGENTLY NEEDED. DONALD McPHERSON OPENS RESCUE FUND WITH £1 lOs Od. Fears that the band of mermaids known as "The Rottnest Sirens," have captured poor Sandy McDougall, have been proved to have solid foundation. The following letter, addressed to Mr. and Mrs. McDougall, at their residence, Ned' lands, on Thursday morning last, has cast a deep gloom on the hearts of Sandy's parents and many friends. Its purport is as follows: "Know that we hold in the fortress of our abode your bonnie laddie, Sandy. Unless £50 is paid down as ransom we will not be responsible for him being heard of again, but if the ransom reaches us on Pancake Tuesday, February 25th., we promise to deposit your son on the Fremantle Wharf in time to welcome Rev. Dr. McMahon back to the 'West.

Many thanks for your donation. . AUNT BESSY.

Dear Aunt Bessy,—A great friend of yours told me that you have been suf tering . from the effects of sleeping on a hair brush all night, but I can't see how you could have suffered so much seeing that your mattress is of the same composition, and you are rather fond of that. (Now what exactly do you mean?) My sympathy is rather with the hair brush, because it can't give vent to its feelings like you. It's 'a mystery to me how the brush got into your bed—perhaps you're not used to one, or perhaps you hid it as naughty children do when they are afraid their mother is going to give them a raste of the back of it. hope your little nieces and nephews are not worrying you too much, as you have now reached the age when your memory should be failing. Where is Sandy? (If you read the beginning of the. Page before you read your own letter you will know.) I thought he was most impolite the way he accepted the Xmas gift I sent him, and I was disappointed in him, as I thought he would have wanted to be introduc. ed to me. You said in your poem you'd make me hop. I used to play hop-scotch, but the only time I'd hop now is if my mother caught me doing anything I shouldn't be doing.

Still, I have thought of things the little tune made me thinlof, and the thoughts have been most. ly of those years that make our first childhood—the beautiful years that each of you are enjoying now and which, perhaps, you are wishful to see the end of.

-MOTHER MARY, QUEEN MOST S WEET."

FEAST OF THE WEEK.

Mother Mary, Queen most sweet, Joy and love my heart inflame; Gladly shall my lips repeat Ey'ry moment thy dear name. Ah ! that name to God so dear Has my heart and soul enslaved; Like a seal it shall appear Deep in heart and soul engraved When the morning gilds the skies, I will call on Mary's name: When at evening twilight dies, 'Mary" still will I exclaim. Sweetest Mary, lend thine ear, Thou my own dear Mother art; Therefore shall thy name so dear Never from my lips depart. If my soul is sore oppress'd By a load of anxious care, Peace once more will fill my breast When thy name re-echoes there. Waves of doubt disturb my peace, And my heart is faint with fear; At thy name the billows cease, All my terrors disappear. When the demon hosts invade, When temptation rages high, Crying. "Mother, Mother, aid ! " I will make the tempter fly. This shall be my comfort sweet. When the hand of death is nigh. "Mary! Mary ! " to repeat, Once again, and then to die.

SIXTY-SECOND YEAR.

Sisters of St. Joseph Return to Order's Cradle Mother Mary McKillop Memorial School PENOLA, S.A., AGAIN AFTER 43 YEARS.

411

It will be of interest to our readers, many of whom are f riends or ex-pupils of the Sisters of St. Joseph, to learn that His Grace the Archbishop of Adelaide, Most Rev. A. Killian, D.D., will bless and lay the foundation stone of a school at Penola, in memory of Mother Mary of the Cross, the foundress of the (Australian) Sisters of St. Joseph. This ceremony will take place on Sunday, February 23, at 3 p.m. Penola, as readers know, is the cradle of this great Order.

At Naracoorte, en route, the nuns were met by Rev. Father Davoren, who told them of the whole-hearted reception which awaited them at Penola. A fter a day's long, hot journey, the Sisters reached their destination. Rev. Father Sparkes, P.P., accompanied by many of the parishioners, met them at the station and accorded them a right good welcome to their "old" new sphere of work. A procession of cars containing Sisters and people wended its way through the streets to the outskirts of the town, where stands the pretty little church with the convent beside it. Here the nuns were met and again welcomed by those energetic and indispensable workers—the dear women of the parish, to whose kindly ministrations the tired Sisters were left. The Sisters appreciated the enthusiastic and kindly reception given them by the Catholics of Penola. They were deeply moved by the many loving references made by dip people to the spirit of self-sacrifice and wholehearted devotion, to the love of the poor and lowly, which distinguished Mother Mary of the Cross. The people were pleased and proud to have again in their midst the daughters of that noble and revered woman, the remembrance of whom still prompts the good people of Penola to do for the Sisters that which would please their beloved foundress, Mother Mary McKillop. MEN GIVE UP BILLIARDS FOR CHILDREN'S CLASSROOM. In an attempt to meet the needs of the parish children, the men of Joseph's parish, Sunderland (England), CX.M.S., have given up the club room and removed the billiards table so that it may be used temporarily as a class room, it was stated at a supper and dance held recently in the fhen's club. CHILDREN'S PLAY-CENTRE RUN BY AN OLD BOYS' ASSOCIATION. Hundreds of Bradford's poorest children are being kept off the streets at night by members of the St. Bede's Old Boys' Association, England, who give up their spare time to work—entirely without payment—at a city "play centre." This is held at the Feversham-street school, and the centre is so popular that many children have to be turned a way. Here they can take part in all kinds of activities—painting, boxing, readiTtg, draughts. Play-acting, singing. etc., at will
