They are to teach all nations, to instruct them in all truths and to fulfil this duty until the end of time. On the badge the Blessed 'Isrinity- is symbolised by the Fin•ger or Hand of God; the Dove; and the Book bearing the name of Christ. The Finger or Hand is an ancient symbol for God the Father, referred to—often in Sacred Scripture (cf. Book of Proverbs, 1, 2; Ecclesiasticus X., II. : Nlachhabies VII., 31), and variously used in Catholic symbolism as in representations of Christ's baptisms and other operations of divine grace. The Dove is the actual form under which the Holy Ghost has become visible, as at Our Lord's Baptism. In Catholic symbolism it is always used to typify the Holy Spirit. the Sanctifier and source of grace and enlightenment. Both the Finger and the Dove hear downwards pointing to the name of Christ --Lux Mundi Christus (Christ. the Light of the World.) This is an old liturgical phrase, that is, one used in the immemorial prayers of the Church. which sets out in symbolical form what Christ proclaimed of Himself and His Mis sion to teach men. "I am come a Light into the World, that whosoever believeth in Me, may not remain in darkness." (John XII.. 46). Christ is our light, and there is no light within or without us. apart from Him. This is the central point of the badge' symbolism. The world. i.e.. "all nations." is symbolised by the Globe under the Finger. and here the outline of Australia is prominent in the Southern Hemisphere. Under the head of the Dove is the Cross in Maltese form. The Book typifies Christ's Teaching for though the Church teaches primarily by the Living Voice She -uses also the written and printed word.

Community of Women Founded in West End Stable
They are the Messengers of the Faith—a new type of religious community founded specially to meet modern requirements. Their story was told recently by Miss Dorothy Gordon, who, with a few like-minded friends, founded the Messengers. In the course of her story Miss Gordon stated that 73 new communities have sprung up in the Church since the war. The Messengers had their beginning in a disused stable behind Manchester-square. They wear a simple dress of dark blue serge with a leather belt, and a plain felt hat. "When we started living in community in the stable," said Miss Gordon, "we lived on beans, potatoes and other vegetables, as the modest amount of money we possessed between us allowed only of the most simple. housekeeping. As may well be imagined, an invitation to lunch out was in those days gratefully accepted. "But to balance these early trials of endurance we have had the happiness of helping some 2,000 people into the Church, which has made up to us for our own deprivations." Miss Gordon pointed out that now, the work being more firmly established, normal meals are the rule in the daily life of the Messengers. Varied Work. They practise the counsels of poverty, chastity and obedience, recite the Divine Office, and take simple vows which are renewed
yearly.
Some of them are wholly engaged in rescue work. In 1933 the late Cardinal Bourne opened Devon Nook. in Duke's-avenue, Chiswick. to be a home for unmarried mothers with a first child, with which work of mercy the Messengers have been closely associated with Bishop Myers. This is hut one of their many works. One of their chief activities from the beginning has been the instruction of converts in cases where the clergy desire such help. Others are lecturing in public parks in connection with the C.E.G. : teachiner the Catechism to children, especially those obliged to attend non-Catholic schools: organising lectures for non-Catholics; giving missionary lectures or lay missions in country villages where there is no church: caring for convert Anglican Sisters and for Catholic nuns who fiave had their vows dispensed; organising and running a lay association, to which their converts and other friends belong; organising international relationships between modern misc.innary and social service communities all over the world. Father Martindale. Si.. referring to the movement, remarked: "What will be said here to-day will be in no sense a criticism of the older type of religious orders. . . . Even the Jesuits were severely criticised when first they were formed. . . . Special Obstacles. "There is great and increasing need for these newer types of religofous life, which seek to supply what is wanted to cope with the special obstacles existing in the world of to-day. New needs must he satisfied in order that the Church of Christ may develop and extend her aid to all." Miss Gordon said: "I want especially to stress that the work done by the new association in• t erferes in no way with what has

An Almost Unknown Community of Women, Founded in 1914 in a stable in the West-End of London, have helped to bring about 2,000 Non-Catholics into the Church. been done for centuries by the older orders. The essentials of religion remain the same; what is changed is merely the method of applying those essential principles to the needs of the world of to-day. "The first religious were the hermits of the desert, who went there by their own desire of living in closest union with God. There they cultivated the study of the Sacred Scriptures, the fruit of which study has so enriched the Church in all ages since. "But when they heard the Voice of God calling them to go forth from their solitudes and rescue slaves from captivity, they promptly answered that call, and left their beloved deserts to live amongst their fellowmen and help them. "Later came the clamour of voices from the laity, asking for instruction in the deeper mysteries of God's dealings with man, and again they answered as before. So the life of the Church went on growing through the Middle Ages, when hundreds of the brightest and best of God's sons and daughters entered the cloister, further to enrich the life of the Church.
In the World. "In the 16th. century, St. Francis of Sales and St. Vincent de Paul started congregations for women who were not to live in strict enclosure but to go outside their convent walls and help where they were needed. This caused great anxiety, and even gave scandal to a world of men and women unused to such interpretations of 'vocation.' "It ended in St. Francis enclosing his Order of Religious women. St. Vincent de Paul adhered to his own ideas, and made his Sisters of Charity continue in the way he had mapped Out for them —in touch with the everyday life of the world, as we know them to-day. "But that valiant woman of our own country, Mary Ward, was hailed before the Holy Office in Rome, and had to fight for her order of teaching women. . . "Since the war, there have sprung up in the Church 73 new communities of women. "The first appeared in Spain— the Ladies of the Catechism; very mortified women who wear no habit hut devote themselves
AN APPEAL FROM THE FIELD OF BATTLE
Rev. Father B. J. McLorne conducts a burial service in Uganda. Cothins are not used in the African missions. The corpse is wrapped in the bedding, barkcloth, and calico.
While two people are engaged in a bitter and relentless conflict in Fast Africa, there comes to "The Record" from the far distant land of Uganda an urgent appeal from a soldier in the firing line of Christ's great army of Catholic missionaries. This soldier is an old grey-haired priest, in charge of a leper colony for natives. In September of this year he will celebrate the 25th
anniversary of his ordination to priesthood, so he writes to the readers of "The Record" appealing to them ,not for money, but for prayers both for himself and his mission. The hearts of our readers would indeed have to be very hard and selfish not to heed the cry for prayers of this noble, generous-hearted priest, who for the past 25 years has laboured so heroically in a far distant leper colony.

entirely to the training of children ip the knowledge of their Faith. "There are three new associations of such women in Spain, 14 in Germany, two in Austria—the most important of which was founded by the late Mgr. Seipel. "In Hungary there is also a modern community to which the Government has given charge of all the women prisoners in Budapest: and there is another which is established in nearly every village, for social work. "Italy has the famous organisation set up by Cardinal Ferrari—a triple community of priests, laymen and sisters. They have suffered great financial loss, which, unfortunately, has curtailed their activities somewhat and has hindered their growth and progress. The Grail. "France has eight modern communities. Czechoslavakia two; Belgium and Holland have six, one of which is the Women of Nazareth—the Grail—of which there are many communities in Holland. "There are new Sisters of Social Service in Canada, who look after the teaching of children of poor farmers and immigrants. "In England since the war there have been five 'modern communities founded, one of which, the Sisters of Our Lady of Consolation at Lambeth. is entirely devoted to the nursing of the sick. "We. the Messengers of the Faith. are the only ones who do this particular kind of teaching work. "Poland has five modern communities, one of which was founded by a young Countess who met with a serious accident when out hunting. at the age of 22. She then threw herself wholly into serving God through her fellow men and women." These and many more were cited by Miss ortrion as examples of the new expressions of religious life springing up everywhere in the Church to-d,y. Members must have a religious vocation, have had a good education, and have sufficient private means to pay the cost of their maintenance.

HIST RY OF MONEY Sanctions Affect Vatican FACTS OR PROPAGANDA?
(By Charles E. Coughlin.) In the year 1100 when Henry I. was -King, until the year 1694, when the Bank of England was organised, England had a peculiar money system known as These "tallies" were "tallies." simply sticks of wood about 4 feet long and 1 inch square. This stick of wood was notched with a jack knife to express pounds, The exact shillings and pence. value was printed with ink on the sides of the stick, and then it was split lengthwise. It was the government which did the splitHalf the stick was given ting. to the citizen in exchange for governmental service. The other half remained in the Royal treasury It was the business of the county sheriffs in England to collect for taxes these sticks which It was the the citizens held. business of the government to match the collected half-stick with the portion already in the Royal treasury. When they tallied or matched then the sticks were destroyed. In 1694, when the Bank of England was founded $70 milwere sticks these lion of gathered together. and in their place the new Bank issued paper money of a similar amount. Yet the old wooden tallies were legal tender in England until 1783. The accumulation of the centuries was not finally destroyed until the sticks were burned in the House of Parliament in the year England was not on the 1830. She was on the gold standard. "wooden" standard and prospered! With the founding of the Bank of England we find this bank actually creating credit instead of transferring it. The Bank of England received its charter to operate and to create, or in other words, to coin money, when the merchants of London approached Parliament and told the members thereof that, if they wanted the merchants to help them put down a would revolution. Parliament have to concede to these merchants the right to coin money. Thus the Bank of England began to loan what they did not possess. For every dollar, as Pt were, of gold the bank had, it risked loaning 10 dollars of credit: At least 9 of these dollars did not exist. And more than that, for every dollar's worth of loan money that was extended to a merchant the Bank of England had the audacity to mark on its books that it was a dollar's deposit. Here Is the mystery surHow can a rounding money. loan become a deposit, How can something which you have not, be something that you have in your possession?

It is also well to repeat that the Bank of England, even in its prosperous days when its vaults were loaded with gold, always considered it safe to issue two and one-half times as much paper money as sh„: had bullion in her vaults. This historical fact is not open to contradiction. "In the year 1780 the private bankers of the privilege of issuino- bank Tht notes or paper currency. Bank of Enrrland still retained this monopol--.

But the Parliament answering said: "The day of monopoly has gone." The system of the London bankers in creating this cheque hook money. together with the

system of the Bank of England in issuing bank notes, such as your five and ten dollar bills, and also loans, were both adopted in America when, in the year 1800, the United States chartered a great number of banks which were both banks of deposit like the private banks in England and banks of discount like the Bank of England itself. Thus there grew up a new idea of a bank. It was a place to deposit your coin or your bullion, or Your current- - which von could check out and transfer ,by using cheque book. It was also a place for borrowing money and haying your loan marked dow-n on the banker's book as a deposit.
Queen Astrid's Conversion His Eminence _1 oseph Cardinal Van Roey, Archbishop of Mechlin, has written an article for "La Revue Generale"_ concerning the conversion and marriage of the late Queen Astrid of the Belgians. The Cardinal recalls that it was at the request of Queen Elizabeth in September, 1928, that he undertook to obtain from the Vatican 'permission for Prince Leopold to contract a mixed marriage with Astrid, daughter of the Duke of Vestrogothia, brother of the King of Sweden. This permission, he writes, was granted by the Holy See according to Canons 1060-1063 of the Codex of Canon Law.
to Catholic belief and not as a f ormality. "It is quite evident," His Eminence writes, "that Princess Astrid, born and educated in Protestant surroundings, was not yet able to take a step of such vital importance. We, thinking that there was little to be gained by a discussion in the public press -of the religious disparity, and that such a discussion would be unbecoming asked the Catholic papers not to raise the religious question."
Vatican City, a State within a State., Peter's is suffering from sancti)ns. Pence, the volunta-v annual contributions paid by the Catholics the world over to the Holy See, are still being collected everywhere. But recently their remittance to the Vatican from many sanctionist countries has been rendered impossible. Monsignor Bernardini, the Papal Nuncio at Fierne, acting on direct in, structions from the Supreme Pontiff, went to Geneva during a recent cc,uneil meeting. It was his second visit to the League since sanctions came into force. On each occasion he held a long conversation with M. Avenol, the Secretary-General of the League. regarding the Vatican's difficulties. As a result of these conversations, M. Laval, it is learned, has given assurances that the privileged position of the Vatican will be given special consideration. Sanctions took the Vatican completely by surprise. They represent something new and unforeseen- for which no provision had been made in that statutes. Although it is a sovereign State, the Vatican has no banking institute of its own. With only 500 citibens it hardly seemed necessary until now. But this meant that the Vatican is dependent on the Italian banks for transacting its. financial business, although Italian barks are to the Vati. can, in "foreign territory." All moneys for the Vatican coming from countries outside Italy pais through the Flanca Commerciale Italiana, an Italian State-controlled bank. Vatican interests in Italy itself are looked after by the Banco di Santo Spirito (the Bank of the Holy Ghost), a very old Catholic institution, but, like all other financial houses in Italy, sub ject to State control. Decrease in Inman Foreign money, whether for the Vatican or for anyone else, no longer arrives at these banks, nor at any other bank in Italy. The Cardinals' Commission of Administration of the Property of the Holy See, which handles Peter's Pence, reported on Christmas Eye that there has been a tremendous decrease in in. come. The Pope himself (-an do nothing about it. The Vatican finances are not centralised.

I do not propose to follow "Anglicanus" further.

I am not presurnptious enough to suppose that any new light will be shed upon them by discussing them in the columns of your esteemed paper. I have already trespassed too much upon the hospitality of your columns. If "An. glicanus" has perfectly convinced himself upon all these points, from a Scriptural, historical and theological point of view, I am perfectly satisfied to leave him happy in his beliefs, as I shall expect him to leave me and those whom I represent in peace to believe and practice ours.

It is proverbially common for a man in that condition (as it is called) to tear off all his clothes and try to *run about naked. In this he may find five or seven or ten others who have similarly escaped. If there are enough of them, they become a Culture, called by some Prussian professors naktkultur ; it becomes a Movement; a Revelation; a Religion. But it also becomes a Nuisance. It becomes a discomfort to other people. exactly like the discomfort of the darkness, produced by the honest 'fellow who truly thinks he is transparent. It is all nonsense to say that liberty consists in letting people go naked or clothed as they live. It is as if the man on the window-sill told you he was free to think he was transparent, and you were free to think he was not. He would none the less he there, a hug. horrid obstacle; an offence to your eye and your habits of mind. A Nuisance is that by which one man doing as he likes burdens another with what he dislikes; and civilised people dislike indecency. That logical difference will come more and more to a deadlock, as convention and manners relax. It needs really clear and enlightened thinking; and it will not get it. Precious little light will he thrown on the subject by the subjective modern moralis,ts. The window is blocked up by the lunatic.—C K.C.

degradation of woman. Only those who are ,blind to the experiences of the past will fail to see this. Also the humanitarian argument based on the liberation of suffering women from the burden of excessive child-bearing must be rejected and condemned. The relief of these methods is apparent rather than real. Any immediate alleviation they afford in some cases is wholly incommensurate with the additional burden of suffering, physical and mental, which they entail. Remove motherhood or prospective motherhood, or tramp it down; in away with the maternal element in the marital relation, and the way lies .open for man to look upon his wife as an instrument for satisfying his animal passion instead of looking on her as the honoured, revered and cherished mother of his children. It Promotes Peace. Again, this system also claims to promote peace and to prevent war and aggression. It is argued that one of the conditions that makes a nation a menace to others and leads to war is a high birth-rate and a low death-rateBut the converse is no less true— a low birth-rate and a diminishing population, by reducing the power of defence ,is an incentive to a stronger and envious nation to invade its weaker neighbour. In 1850 the population of France was equal to that of Germany, both numbering approximately 35.500,000:. in 1913. the population of France was little more than half that of Germany, France numbering 39,600,000, and Germany 67.000.000. Had France maintained a population equal to her rival, it is not rash to conclude that the war of 1Q14 would never have occurred. The necessary guarantee of international peace is the subordination of national interests and ambitions to justice and high moral principles. What It Really Does. From what we have said cannot we justly say that the theory and practice of birth control offer no remedy for either individual or Collective human ills, nor do they confer any benefit on the race. On the contrary, the system is destructive and demoralising. It breaks down the physical stamina and moral character of men and nations, and tends to the physical and spiritual ruin of the race. It is nothing but a curse to the individual. to the nation, and to mankind. If the individual nations continue in its practice they will reap its fruits, which for the nations are final disintergation and extinction, for this practice, hateful to God. slowly but nevertheless surely weakens the country's power of defence: it weakens its power of intelligence and morality: it w eakens the very life blood of the limited offspring which actually is born, for such offspring, coming at it does from a principle already marked by weakness, softness and decay. ic necessarily tainted. So much for birth control and national betterment ! Surely it is one of the crimes of to-day. It is a crime crvine- t. heaven for revenge. In our next article we will set forth in detail the teaching of the Catholic Church on this question and answer the obiectinns put forth by many thousands to-day.

Only a matter of weeks ago the English C.T.S. issued one of its most striking pamphlets of recent years, "The Pope and Catholic Action," and if any reader of this essay has not yet obtained a copy he is urged to do so without delay, and digest it. It is the most compelling call to or-

ganised and united action the Catholics of England have ever had the privilege of receiving. What are we going to do about The one thing we cannot it? do is to ignore it; that would be shameful, and the pamphlet is already, by implication, a scathing condemnation of our failure to respond to the previous exhortations of the Holy Father on the same subject.

PERTH, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1936.
Spain and die Cab-es The cables during the week report storm and tension during the recent elections in Spain, laying special emphasis on scenes of disorder and mutiny. Even our conservative morning press was moved to write urbanely that there was "no patience, moderation and compromise in the fiery policies of Spain." It has been one of the most curious characteristics of British liberalism that Englishmen should imagine that everybody on the Continent was mad. There has been, and is, a laughable superstition among Britishers that beef and beer and a constitutional monarchy are the only reasonable things in a wild world. Foreigners are contemptuously dismissed as excitable, dirty, suspicious and ignorant. This could be borne out by reference to almost any of the grotesque cables reporting events abroad, but in none more than in the case of Spain. It is idle to persist in making a mystery of Spanish politics when everybody who knows anything realises that Spain is among the last of the nations still reverberating with the spirit of nationalism let loose not yet a century ago. The Press is constantly trying, consciously or unconsciously, to make it appear that a country which has been Catholic since the first century of Christianity, has, within the space of a few brief years, become bitterly anti-Catholic and reduced to a state of poliYet the facts are few and plain enough.

Precisely because Spain is Catholic to the core, and the vast majority have been devoted to the Throne, the coup d' etat which brought Republicanism into being was, and still is, resisted. A second factor which must be considered is that under the monarchy Catholicism was the established religion, and had enjoyThe rise of the Republic ed the fullest protection and subsidy. stripped the Church of many of Her traditional privileges and rendered Her suspect in the eyes of the Republicans. Yet here, as in France and Portugal, though the loyalty of Catholics to their valid Governments cannot be challenged, the new regime set about deliberately to alienate Catholic sympathies by unjust and harsh encroachments upon the Church's own spiritual jurisdiction. The religious Orders, Church property. and the cause of Catholic education have been the chief targets for the poisoned shafts of secularNor can the striking parallel between the similarity istic hate. of the attack in many European countries (luring the last century be ignored.

The Press cannot be ignorant of these silent, unWhy is it silent concerning them? seen influences. • The most casual reader of the world's news cannot but be aware of the growing hatred of the Catholic Church and of the concentrated persecution against its adherents. It is a matter of consternation that this flame of hate should be daily fanned by the world's press. That it has done go by silence, misrepresentation, and deliberate falsehood is painfully evident in its most recent accounts of affairs in Catholic countries.

The ceremony took place in the Stella Mans College Hall, which was used as an oratory to accommodate the Presentation Nuns, who had returned from the Branch Houses for their annual Retreat. The altar was tastefully decorated with a profusion of palms and lilies, and the tabernacle, the humble home of the Spouse of Virgins, glittered in a richly spangled veil—the gift of Mrs. Perrott. of Cork, mother of the conductor of the Retreat, the Rev. Father T. Perrott, S.J. During the singing of the "0 Gloriosa Virginum," the Bishop and prIests approached the altar, whilst, in processional order, the Community took their appointed places, and the Novices-elect, accompanied by the Reverend Mother and Mother Assistant, knelt at the sanctuary rails. The Bishop asked the formal questions as to their intentions in seeking to be admitted into the Novitiate. The Novices, having given satisfactory replies, retired to divest themselves of their bridal attire, and returned clad in the sombre garb of the religious veil and habit. cincture and rosary- which had been blessed by the Bishop. During the ceremony appropriate canticles and psalms were sung by the Convent Choir. The Bishop, having congratulated the Novices on taking the first official step in the religious life—the Reception of the holy habit of the Presentation Order—went on to congratulate the Community on having found two sub. jects coming up to their expectations, who were willing to consecrate their lives to the work of the Order.

Our, Question Box What Every Catholic Should Know. "A.0." (Perth) : (1) "Why does not your Church condemn gambling and lotteries as sinful and immoral? (2) It is dishonest to wish to get £5,000 for one shilling in a lottery." Reply: (1) Simply because they are not sinful and immoral in themselves. They can be made the occasion of sin, as when a passion for gambling leads a man to spend money which is not his own, or which is necessary for the upkeep of wife or children, or to pay his lawful debts. But if one can honestly afford it, he is free to invest in lotteries, or to indulge in the amusement of a wager. (2) If it be dishonest to invest Is. in order to secure a chance of winning £5,000, which may or may not be obtained, then it is equally dishonest to invest one's railway fare in order to se-cure a chance of discovering a possible nugget of gold, which may or may not exist, on some distant goldfield. Every investment on the Stock Exchange, or for that matter every insurance policy, is an investment of money the return from which depends upon an element of chance. "Anxious" (Subiaco) : "Is it a sin for Catholics to attend weddings in Protestant churches?" Reply: The law of the Catholic Church forbids such attendance; and the prohibition binds under pain of sin. A Catholic is forbidden to be present at any service in a non-Catholic church, even at a marriage. It is good for non-Catholics to realise this, so that, -knowing that Catholics must refuse, they will not ask them to assist at the religious cert. mony itself, and then be offended as if refusal were due to lack of friendship. "Anxious" (Subiaco) : "May a Catholic act as best man or bridesmaid at a non-Catholic wedding?" Reply: If they cannot be present as mere onlookers within the church, it follows that they cannot participate even more closely by acting as official witnesses. A wedding in a church is not a merely social event; it is also a religious ceremony. Though non-Catholics may not see it, the Catholic position is alone logical. Protestants should choose witnesses of their own faith, and spare Catholics the pain of having to refuse.

Our Home Missions Further Development in Centralia TENNANT'S CREEK MISSION IN THE NORTHERN TERRITORY OF AUSTRALIA. The Missionaries of the Sacred Heart in Australia are opening up a new mission field this year. This is the Mission of Tennant's Creek. Just as the names of Alice Springs and the Granites have in recent years become well known to most people in Australia, so the name of Tennant's Creek is rapidly becoming familiar. A couple of years ago there was no settlement at all at the Tennant. Now there are eight hundred people and more associated with the various mines there. It seems that there is scarcely what might be called even a village, as the population is scattered over an area of fourteen hundred square miles—a region seventy miles long by twenty wide. "I say, 'it seems,' " the Rev. Wilfrid Dew, writes, "for though I am appointed as pastor of Tennant's Creek and have already travelled two thousand miles on the way there, I am still three hundred and thirty miles from my destination. "This is written at the Alice, as it is called where the railway from Adelaide terminates. Next week I hope to get a lift the rest of the way across the desert on one of the buckboards or utility trucks so familiar in the heart of Australia. This means of conveyance seems to be as essential here as are the flies, the gibber plains, the tufts of spinifex and soaring tem. peratures "The purpose of this short article is to introduce readers to the Tennant's Creek Mission. and to give those of them anxious to sponsor a new mission the opportunity to help where their help will be very greatly needed. -As there are dangers in travelling far afield here where a twenty-five. mile walk without water can be a grave peril, it is held essential to have an utterly dependable car. Visiting the Catholic stations of the Barkley Tablelands involves stretches of two hundred miles, where no one else may pass for a month. "I am supplying the missionary in my own person, but am forced already to appeal for help from the readers of this paper to make possible the means of travelling, the purchase of petrol at 4s. per gallon as well as the securing of land and the building of a church and residence. Apart from those who can only give held in a spasmodic way, I hope that there will be some who will sponsor the Mission as their own particular interest amongst the Missions of the Church throughout the world." PORT KEATS MISSION. Successful Development. There was a great deal of misgiving when the Port Keats Mission was founded. The natives had a bad name, the country was supposed to be swampy and unhealthy, and the harbour treacherous. To-day, eight months after its establishinent, these fears for the Mission haVe disappeared. There is a fine large bungalow house erected, a garden fenced in and planted, a well dug, about 30 acres of land cleared, and a fish tray erected. There are usually about 150 natives at the station with a couple of thousand in the surrounding district, who should, eventually, periodically visit the Mission. They are all, of course, confirmed nomads; but, considering the station is free from interference by land and sea, there is good for the future. A NATIVE "DIVORCEE." The following instance will serve as an example of the conditions met with at Port Keats. An old man wanted to marry a voting girl, who belonged to him by tribal right. The ^irl.
however, staunchly refused, repeatedly leaving his camp. Tired and annoyed by her rebellion, the old man decided to "divorce" her. According to tribal customs the child was placed against a tree 30 yards away and the old man had to throw ten spears at her with a womera (native throwing-stick). Fortunately, all spears missed the target, and the girl was free. There is hard work ahead for the Missionary to turn such pgople into Christians, but the Grace of God is powerful, and with the help and the prayers of the Catholic people of Aus. tralia. the Kingdom of God is sure to establish itself firmly, sooner or later, in this remote corner. v THE CAMERA AT PALM ISLAND. Our native Catholics have been spending a joyous week or two in .assisting, as principals, in the making of a great film of aboriginal life, entitled "Uncivilised." It needs little to induce the natives to play again their outdoor roles, hunting, cooking, dancing, tracking and spear -throwing, amid&t the more primitive atmosphere of little bark or grass gunyars. In the moik battle scenes, staged for the story, their enthusiasm had to be curbed as climaxes were approached. The director of the film was delighted with the results obtained, after a con. siderable amount of patience had been exercised in getting the aboriginals to realise the effects he wanted to produce. Subsequently it was fairly easy w ork. and as they entered into the spirit of the work they needed little s timulation. Some of the most effective of the scenes were filmed at night, illuminated by numerous native flares of tea-tree bark.
Mrs. New Rich was giving a musical evening. She began to get uneasy when the orchestra she had engaged did not start playing immediately the party had assembled. Going up to the conductor, she said: "Why don't your men begin to play?" "Oh, they are just tuning up," he replied. "Tuning up! Why are they doing it now I ordered you a week ago."

Dear Mary.—Such a number of the Cornerites are tempting me to go for the £1,000. but unless I was sure of winning £500 toward it out of the Lotteries or somewhere I'm afraid such an Objective would be too high for us all, so I may only got for £999 instead —I don't know yet, as the kidnapping of my poor Sandy has upset all my recollection, and if we can't gather in £50 for his Ransom, where could I expect to gather a thousand? Thank you and everyone who made up the £2 you sent, and when you write to your Carmelite cousin ask her to pray for her Bushies in the West.

If the human mind could be trained to function on those lines the world had an intelligent man. "The difference between a genius and an ordinary man." added Dr. Downey, "is precisely, the number of associations formed by the genius when he gets an idea as against the number formed by the ordinary man. "Many people when they get an idea—well, they merely get an idea. It doesn't link up with anything because there is nothing for it to link up with"A mind well stored with ideas forms a greater number of associations. If the mind is not well stored the idea just becomes sterile and dies. When an idea arrives it is part of a system, and should he assimilated in that 51.5 -

"The faculty of attention is nOt so common as one would imagine, and we should do our best to
develop it. Judgment is the coordination of past experiences, and these two elements are vitally important in the workings of the human mind. A man's mind is the man himself." "Poles Asunder."
In stressing the necessity for a closer study of the human mind, Dr. Downey said that the undergraduate who in reply to the question: "What is mind?" has answered "No matter," and then to the question: "What is matter?" said "Never mind," hit off a profound truth, namely, that mind and matter were. as J. S. Mills expressed it, "poles asun-

The Meaning and Spirit of Lent The Spirit of the World. If we allyw our thoughts to dwell even for a few brief moments on the condition of the world to-day, it is certainly a sad and gloomy picture that presents Men have, itself to our gaze. and still are, selling their immortal souls for their self-appointed god of temporary fame, purely worldly ambitions and above all for silver, but no longer 30 pieces of it. The true meaning of life is put in the background. The divine rights of God are denied Him, not only by the individual, The but also by the nations. idea of a Supreme Master and Lord, of Christ, King of kings and nations, is rejected by the multitudes. The world can progress, so it says, without Christ and His principles, and hence we find national and international relations existing without any reference to the Dive Ruler. War and the rumour of war grows apace, yet at heart the people yearn for peace and prosperity. The- - are sick of shams and insincerity, but because it is a case of the blind leading the 'blind. men rush madly from pleasure to pleasure. from war to war and, finally, if they continue, they will rush to destruction, simply because the nations as a whole refuse to Yield obedience to the voice of Christ.
perhaps will hurt our neighbour, a willingness to help others, even when it costs a little, are the little acts of self-denial we may all perform during Lent. No matter what station of life we are in, we will find ways and means of doing little acts. No one will witness them but God, but He is the One Who never forgets, and one day will reward.

TWENTY-TWO ALMSGIVING. 'Our spiritual enemies are naturally unwilling that we should reap all the advantages that are so closely bound up with the exercise of generosity and compassion towards the poor and will do all they can to dissuade us from carrying out the recommendations of Holy Scripture. Yet, if they are to succeed, they are well aware that they must act very cautiously. They dare not show their hand, by openly condemning that which God commends; so while admitting the excellence of generosity in general and in the abstract, they cunningly suggest a thousand plausible reasons which relieve us, individually, from any such obligation. "Thus, one man will say: 'Oh, I make it a rule never to give anything to a beggar in the street!' Y4 ,t rsc course, because he is ungenerous. that No! must never be even hinted at. But simply because 'beggars are always, or nearly always, impostors, and J should be encourag ing idleness.' Indeed, he will willingly admit that 'almsgiving is a most admirable thing, but we must not countenance imposture. Besides, the recipients are sure to spend it in drink.'_ But neither will these men bestow a penny upon beggars who come to their doors. Not because they are unwilling to part with their coin —at least that is not the reason they care to allege—hut because 'one berre-ar will attract another, and the constant visits of these tatterdemalions become a regular nuisance. Besides, it would never do to entice tramps and doubtful characters about the house.' Thus, for one reason or another, they excuse themselves from giving anything to anybody."—Bishop Vaughan.
Reading for the Home LENT. Wednesday is the beginning of Lent, which is the Church's preparation for the great mysteries of Holy Week. The great truth of death is brought home to us by the placing of ashes on our foreheads and the liturgy of the Church during the whole season is a call to penance and a greater love for Christ, Who loved us enough to die for us. Since it is a time of penance, let us seize every chance of suffering that comes our way as we fulfill our In every-day round of duties. this way without doing anything extraordinary we will be minting money for heaven, advancing in our growth in holiness, and helping our brethren to carry their own little crosses. THE LADDER OF LOPE. Some days are dark and dreary, Others are sunny and sweet, But what are all but a ladder of love Leading to God's dear Feet? No matter how deep the shadow, Or how friendless we may stand, We know our feet will ever be firm If we trust in God's sure Hand. And yet on that upward journey There are dangers hidden from all, And even from the loftiest height The unwary feet may fall; But if faith and love, twin beacon light, Shine on us from above, We shall reach our Father's home at last, On-Life's great ladder of love.

Catholic News from Everywhere A Visit From Chesterton
FATHER REGINALD HYNES. Father Reginald Hynes was recently ordained in Rome on Sexagisima Sunday for the Diocese of New Norcia. Youngest son of the late Terence Hynes and Mrs. Hynes, of "Fir Park," Waterloo, Father Hynes was educated at St. Ildephonsus' College, New Norcia. Commencing his ecclesiastical studies at Springwood, where he spent 18 months, he studied later at Propa. ganda College • in Rome, where he complete his course. He is a nephew of the late Sister Mary Ursula, of the Sisters of Mercy, who was for years connected with the St. Joseph's Girls' Orphanage, Subiaco, also brother of Sister M. Canice, of the Sisters of St John of God, Ballarat
Twenty-Two Clergymen Move for Reunion
Wide comment has been aroused in the United States by the striking appeal of twenty-nine members—twenty-two of them clergymen—of the Protestant Episcopal Church for reunion with Catholicism. The appeal has been circulated to 1,500 Episcopal clergymen and 152 bishops. Of the 100 replies so far received, all have expressed approval. Protestantism in England," states the appeal, "is bankrupt, ethically, culturally, morally and religiously. The salient fact is that Rome has been the heart and centre of Christendom ever since the days of the Holy Apostles." An illuminating admission in the 1ppeal is that which says: "The Anglican Church never desired the breach of the sixteenth century. It was forced on her by the secular power." "Let us arise," it concludes, "and go to Our Father's House and say, 'Father, I have sinned and am no more worthy to he called Thy son.'" Pope Pius XI.. has now created His predecessor, 54 Cardinals. Benedict XV., created 32. Pius X. created 49. Leo XIII. created 146, Pius IX. created 123. All the eight Cardinals created by the present Pope at his first Consistory ,in December, 1922, are now dead.
