The Personality of Dr. Benes New Hope for the Church in Czechoslovakia MASARYK'S PUPIL SERVES CATHOLICISM
I
T was fairly certain that Dr. Benes would succeed to the Presidency of Czechoslovakia on the retirement of Masaryk. Dr. Benes will, indeed, become the man of to-morrow, for Czechoslovakia is the "key" State of Central Europe. And already, of course, he is the man of yesterday and to-day.
To the British diplomatists who transmitted his messages to tht- Czech National Council in Moscow, Eduard Benes was long known as "Beans." It is a sign of the rapid progress he has made in British estimation that every 13 ritish schoolboy now knows that his name is pronounced not "Beans," but "Benaysh."
T
HERE is every reason for grave apprehension over the recent trend of international politics. The armament race has again begun, the shallow but dangerous pride of race is rampant. Everywhere is hate, suspicion and distrust. Yet despite many ominous signs on the times, there is still room for a sane optimism. In many places in Europe, strong Catholic statesmen have acceded to power. In the present instance, many good things may come from C zechoslovakia under the leadership of Dr. Benes.
Is a pupil of Masaryk still in his l• evotion to Czechoslovak indedendence. During the War he fought for this independence by way of ceaseless propaganda among the Allies and the Czech secret society, named, after a no, too ‘vholesome Italian model, the Mafia. The code of the Czech Mafia gives some idea of the romantic idealism that may underlie the cold_ logic of Central European lawyers. In this code Berlin was referred to as Pankrac. which is the name of a Prague gaol ; Vienna was Bohnitz, which is the Prague lunatic asylum; and Germany was Temno, which means darkness.

He is, moreover, almost a fop in his dress. But self-help counts still on the Continent. vhere all work and no play makes brilliant Ministers. Dr. Benes has been in uninterrupted charge of Czech°, slovak foreign policy since the birth of Czechoslovakia in 1918 As he had also represented hithen non-existent country in nit, official conspirative fashion from 1915 to 1918, he may be said to have been its Foreign Minister for twenty years. In office, official and unofficial. he has been, and will be, consistent. At Prague he was a pupil of Masaryk, who sent him thence to Dijon, Paris and London. He

And the Catholic world, more than any other, will look to Benes and to Czechoslovakia with expectant eyes. For Dr. Benes is a Catholic statesman whose influence as President may make an appreciable difference in the pre,ent critical situation in Central Europe. Masaryk, as a staunch Protestant of the traditional type. never cOmmanded the same general support. although he had become an immortal leader in his ountrv's revival.

Mr. W. M. Hughes Condemns Birth Prevention
W e note with )Ie-isant surprise that Mr. WIlliatr. Morris Hughes, Federal Minister for Health, has discountenanced the practice of birth-prevention.

Mr. Hughes has provided an exception, though it is true he takes no high moral ground when he attacks birth prevention. However, his statement is sound from a patriotic point of view. Amongst other things, Mr. Hughes is reported to have said:

The Holy Name Society PALMYRA BRANCH. A t the tirA solemn reception oi new members into the Holy Name society at St. Gerard's last Sunday night, a large body of men holding lighted candles in their left !lands, and with their right hands raised, solemn,ly resolved. to love and honour the Holy Name of Jesus, affirmed their allegiance to Our Lord as their Leader and Master, and pledged their loyalty to His Church: Who could remain unmoved as with unwavering manliness their voices united in repeating the solemn words of the Holy Name Pledge: "Blessed be God—Blessed be His Holy Name. . I believe, 0 Jesus, that Thou art the Christ the Son of the Living God. . . . I promise to give good example, . . . manhood—keep • - me I dedicate my f aithful to these pledges until death." "To Thee, Divine Jesus, my Lord, my Leader, and my Friend, I consecrate myself this day . . never will I take part in any unhe,..olning use of Thy . . May the Holy Adorable Name. Name of Jesus be blessed for ever and ever." The junction began with the recitation of the Rosary and the Litany of the holy Name, The Rev. Father Kearin then gave the discourse, in which he drew attention to the terrible need in these days, when all the world is overshadowed with gloom and apprehension for the future, of that right fear and adoration of the Holy Name of Jesus that will rally all that is noble and manly around the Holy Standard. This then was the object of the Society of the Holy Name of Jesus, which had been founded many centuries ago in circumstances similar to those prevailing in the world today. The Palmyra men, then, were to share in the prayer and strivings of many millions of fellow Holy Name men who in every country in the world were active in this most splendid form of Catholic Action. The Holy Name hymn. "How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds," having been sutw. the actual ceremony began with the intonation of the "Veni Creator," which was sung by the choir of the Society. the alternative verses being sung in Gregorian Chant and Fabiani's beautiful setting in three parts for male voices. After the invocation of the Holy Spirit. the Spiritual Director interrogated the men on their dispositions, followed by the recitation of the Holy Name Pledge and the Act of Consecration, the words of which are most beautiful. The badges then being blessed, each man kneeling at the altar rails received this symbo:. made up of the initials of Our Lord's Name. "Receive. Brother, the badge of the Society of the Holy Name of Jesus: may It e to you a pledge of salvation unto life everlasting.** Then came Solemn Benediction, which the men sang beautifully, and the function was brought to a close with the hymn. May Jesus Christ be Praised" Thus was consummated the first foundation in our diocese of what is undoubtedly going to be a great spiritual f.,rce. not only in Palmyra. but throughout the whole State ('T d' 1,1,-,s itw he upon it.

A little mathematical calculation and a comparison of dates will. I feel sure, convince Mr. Warren that he is perilously near making Britain Christian before Christ came on earth at all.

There is no doubt as to which church Stephen Langton represented or which church he meant to be free, be it noted, from interference in the election of its bishops to Sees, Abbacies. etc. Langton, an Englishman, was at an earlier date appointed by Pope Innocent III. in preference to t he tyrant John's candidate.

Toleration of other religions in this or any other century cannot be construed into tacit admission of the truth of their tenets.

The alleged Apostolic Bull had nothing to do with it; in fact, it is very doubtful of it ever existed. To this Henry has been laid the guilt of instigating the death of St. Thomas a' Beckett, Catholic Archbishop of Canterbury. Lest there should be any mistake about the identity of the Church, this same Henry made the most humble and absolute submission to Pope Alexander HI., doing public penance over the grave of his victim. The guarded but curiosity provoking reference to Alexander VI. suggests the real object behind Mr. Warren's exuberance—namely. the defamation of the Catholic Church. Why be enigmatical and hypocritical about the matter, pretending to have no desire to mention the name of that Pontiff, whilst at the same tune taking every care to suggest unspeakable things about his much maligned person? Why mention the name at all, if not for mere nastiness or in the hope that some of the mud flung by others ma,. Why wash Christianity's dirty stick? linen- in public?

His royal ashes must be very ill at ease. My religion, however. teaches me to let the dead rest. and if they have attained it, to live in everlasting peace. Atheism stalks abroad and there is nothing to be gained by resurrecting these graceless skeletons. Let Christians leave these hidwItis abnormalities mercifully covered with a pall of silence. Amongst t he chosen twelve there was one who was a traitor and a devil. One in over t wo hundred, humanly speaking, is not a very bad proportion, so let us mercifully leave the royal Butcher and tilt erring Pontilex to the clemency of merciful God. who rewards the good and punishes the wicked. Let us also hope that this same God will not be o ver hard on us when we appez.r fore His tribunal to answer for our mi deeds calculated or otherwise. A? present our duty lies in the direction of making Him more widely known, more intensely loved, more earnestly believed and more faithfully served in a world that seems to he alienated from Him, and consequently drifting from disorder into anarchy. I must apologise again, Mr. Editor, for trespassing so much upon the hospitality of your columns. It is no pleasant task for me to reply to the unintelligible attack of a pronounced bigot, as it must also prove uninteresting reading for the majority of your adherents. Mr. Warren, even in this sultry weather- shudders at the dread fate of the tiny Vatican State in the imaginary cataclysm which his fancy pictures. Of this, however, he may rest assured as he retires into his aristocratic blankets, whatever else may have perished in the storm, when the strength of revolutionary violence shall have subsided the barque of Peter will still be found to have survived, because Jesus Christ Our Lord and Saviour has promised to he with His Church all days even unto the end of the xvorld.--Yonrs, etc., C ATHOL1C1.- › Katanning, March 2. 1936.

Dear Sin, l am 73 years old, and these last to years have been a cripple through Rheumatoid Arthritis. I have attended the hospital for years, and although everything was tried I was told there was no cure. About ti months ago I started taking 'ASPRO,' three tablets three times a day and four every night before going to bed. The result is I can walk with very little help, can rat anything and sit about without those awful pains. I had not been outside for five years because I could not endure the jarring of my chair on the rough roads. but now I can be taken out and the jarring does not hurt me. I want to tell you all this because some other sufferer may be helped by 'ASPRO.' Yours truly, (Signed) ANNIE ROBERTSON -A

M. PAUL BOURGET Great Catholic Novelist Dead. Paul Bourget, distinguishest French Catholic novelist and academician, who died on Christmas Eve at the age of 83, received the Last Sacraments 15 days before his death. M. Bourget, who was regarded as one of France's greatest literary figures, was fully conscious when the Last Rites of the Catholic Church were administered to him by a Jesuit priest. When the priest arrived to attend him, the writer said to him simply : "I am ready." The novelist previousl . expressed the desire that his funeral he devoid of all the honours to which his titles gave him right and that he be buried in a simple and religious manner. His Eminence Jean Cardinal Verdier, Archbishop of Paris, presided at the obsequies held at St. Francis Xavier Church, Paris A Great Worker. Widely criticised by certain other writers because of his detached ways and aloof personal manner. Bourget never deigned to reply to his critics, but worked steadily and quietly, his novels appearing as regularly as the seasons.

The syllabus item was gymnasium. and as Brother Keene, who is an expert at physical training, came along to give the boys instruction, they were not anxious to make any delay.

A farewell party was tendered to Mr. O'Meara on Thursday, March 5.

Society. In expressing his regret at Mr. O'Meara leaving. Father Gallagher spoke of the vast amount of good work our departing friend had done for the many societies of which he was a member.

T he Dionne quintuplets p.re making a film. Not a short or a newsreel, but There is a real human ina feature. terest story behind this announcement. which comes from the Twentieth Century--Fox combine's offices. the The story, which provides "quints" with their first starring vehicle, was written by a Chicago newspaper man, Charles Blake, who was covering the sensation of their occurrence for his paper. It was Blake who arrived at the Dionnes' birthplace when they were three days old with the incubators which were to help the now celebrated Dr. Dafoe to keep the youngsters alive. Naturally Blake and Dr. Dalue became good friends during the 14 months that they remained with the babies. and the journalist's recently completed book is based on the life of his friend--an unselfish country doctor. Henry King, who is to direct the picture, has high hopes for it. He has announced that he intends to try to get the individuality of each of Cecile, Yvonne, Marie. Annette.. and Emile on the screen. Difference in Temperament. "We understan, that the children show m arked differences in temperament and personality," he says, "and this is what we will •:trive to recapture." S tarring the Dionne" will be one of the most expensive sequences ever written into a motion picture story. The Canadian Government, the babies legal guardian, has turned down other film offers, and the youngsters' trust fund will increase by about f25,000 as a result of their "work" in the film. It is understood. however, that it was not the large price offered for the "quints*" work that influenced the Government to let them appear in the film, but a deep sense of gratitude which it felt towards Dr. Dafoe. The title of the picture is "The Country Doctor."

"C.D." (Perth) : "What can one do if the husband is absolutely impossible to live 1.vith, or is guilty of adultery?" Reply: Brutal cruelty and illtreatment afford lawful grounds for eparation, as also does adul . tery, if it has not been condoned. But this separation does not break the bond of marriage. Death alone can do that, and neither is free to marry again whilst the other is still living. For 0-rave reasons a Catholic can obtain ecclesiastical permission to have the separation rendered legal by a civil decree of divorce in order to avoid legal difficulties, but this must he on the understanding that such a decree leaves neither party free to contract another marriage whilst the other party is still living. "C.D." (Perth) : "I know that I will be told that the Catholic Church forbids divorce, but even Christ allowed divorce for one He said: 'Whosoever reason. shall put away his wife, except for fornication, maketh her to commit adultery.' Matt., v., 32." Reply: Christ allowed permanent separation if adultery be committed, but He does not allow diorce and re-marriage in the "Whosoever sense you intend. shall put away his wife, except for the cause of fornication. maketh her to commit adultery, etc.," the sense He intended was this. "Whosoever shall Put away his wife (I am not speaking of mere separation with re-marriarTe. for that is lawful in the case of fornication). but whosoever shall put away his wife . . . he that marries her commits adultery." This is the only possible interpretation in the light of parallel passages. Thus St. Mark records Christ's words absolutely: "Whosoever shall put away his wife and marry another. committeth adultery against her." x., ii. In St. Luke. ton. AVP have the words without and parenthesis : "Ever-• one that putteth away his xvile. and marrieth another. committeth adultery: and he that marrieth her that is put away from her husband; committeth adultery." (xvi.. 18.) St. Paul tells us clearly: "A woman is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband die she is at liberty." (I Cor.. 39.) For a Christian. then, there is no such thing as divorce and remarriage whilst the first partner is still living. Attempted remarriage results in a sinful union only. You can have divorce and give up Christianity. or von can have Christianity and give un divorce You cannot have both 4MNID•41.0110•110041

A Meditation on the Nature and Purpose .of Money (By Father F. H. DRINKWA TER, in the "Catholic Somehow even an ardent money reformer, grateful as he may be for what he finds in the encyclicals of the Vicar of Christ, hardly expects to find any detailed guidance on that subject in the words of Christ Our Lord Himself. During His brief teaching period Our Lord had to concentrate on the central heart of His good news, and could say little of its applications in the everyday life of the human family, except when a definite point was raised by some questioner. But we live and learn, and while I was reading the Sunday gospel in church the other week, about paying tribute to Caesar, I suddenly realised that in those half-dozen words there is room for a whole doctrine on the nature and purpose of money. Once again as so often appears, a reply of Our Lord's is filled with implications that answer other questions going far beyond the mind of the original in. quires. "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's." To the Pharisees and Herodiarts this was equivalent to saying, -Your use of this Roman money is an acknowledgment of Roman soyereignty: so you must pay the taxes of Caesar and obey his laws" • The Source of Money. Of the nlaily assumptions implied in Our Lord's words, we are concerned here to notice two. The first assumption is that the issue of money is a function of sovereignty. It is taken tur granted that the ruler of a region is the one responsible for providing the money in that region, nor indeed has this obvious truth ever been questioned by the conscience of mankind. It is for the ruler to originate the money, to originate it- not to borrow it.. Whether it is paper or silver or gold makes no difference. If precious metals are the material used for money, then the precious metals in the earth ought to belong to the ruler, as newly-mined gold and silver did in Ca t holic times. (Note.—Even in Australia to-day. as in most other countries, the citizen's title to land does not extend to the ownership of precious metals underground.) It was not until two or thsee centuries ago that the gold-hoarding usurers cleverly arranged that gold should he the universal money. and then tricked and bribed the kings into bor. rowing everything they needed—gold and paper too—from the usurers themselves. Thus they gut their owe hands upon the collective credit of ths nation, and have it still—and the whole thing is a shameful violation of social justice, however legalised it 1' * he by had laws made by the usLo t hemselves.
ing care that the money gets into the hands of those that need it, and that there is plenty Alf money about, yet not so much that it loses its buying-power, then his kingdom will be happy and prosperous. If. on the contrary, he lets people "save- as much money as they can and do what they like with it, most of his subjects will soon be reduced to poverty, and he himself will soon be having a financial crisis in the State Trasury. The Creation of Money. If all this is true when money consists of a precious metal, it is just as true of money which consists of paper or brass tokens such as the French Government seems to use nowadays; and these non-precious kinds of money are better, both because they are easier to issue in exactly sufficient quantity, and because they are not so likely to disappear from circulation into t he hoarder's stocking. Quae sunt Caesaris Caesari. Whoever sends out the money must somehow get it back so that he can send it out again. This applies just as much to that kind of money called cheque-money or bank-credit. which is sent out by the banks when they grant a loan-overdraft to a client, and returns to them when the overdraft is paid offMoney is a stream that m ust ever return to its source. And that source ought to be the ruler as r epresenting the whole community and its natural resources: in short, the Naional Credit. li that is indeed the gospel-truth a bout money, it must be admitted that our own country has waedered a long way from it. The e..% :stoney we have now bearing the and inscription of the King of England is a few millions of pounds of copper and silver, which it not even legal tender, e xcept for amounts below 172. The r est ot our legal-tender money consists of paper notes, bearing the image and superscription of the so-called Bank se England, which is a private s yndic'ate formed by the money-lendof the City of London- and naturally consults their interests first. The R ank of England can reduce the note as it pleases: and can also tsince 1928) increase it to any given extent on the authority of a simple Treasury minutt. which must afterwards be laid before Parliament.

Times," London.) bank-uverdraft--nsakes is essentially no pretence of being the nation's money at all. It belongs to the banks, is issued by them and goes back to them, and the total amount of it can be regulated in various ways by the Bank of England almost as mpletely as it regulates the amount of the note-issue. It is literally true, therefore, to say that in this country sovereign power is exercised, not by the King or his Government, but by the Bank of England. The Government indeed (as ex. Cabinet Minister Mr. Amery has pointed out in his recent book) is a group of departments which carry on their work without much correlation, and sometimes even follow opposite policies to one another: and the Treasury, which has its own policy, always has the last word. How far the Treasury policy is iden• tified with the Bank of England policy, who shall be able to prove? All one can say is that in personnel the t wo institutions interlock to a considerable extent )fficials transferring their services naturally from one to the other: that Governments do not even claim to exercise control over the Bank, but only to "consult" on policy: that bankers have openly boasted that they could wreck any Government by selling tor refusing t.i buy) Government securities.: and that events prove over and over again that Governments dare not disobey the "advice" tendered by the Bank of England, however dfsastrous it has sometimes been in the past. Consumer Credit. Even if the Government of England should resume its power over the money-issue, this would still be only a beginning In the new conditions, in which a fifth of the population is permanently affected by unemployment. there is no real solution without con. surner-creslit That is to say, if all Ood's family is to he honourably fed. whoever issues the money must begin by giving some out freely to everyone on some excuse or other; and the best excuse is to give it as a dividend—as a family right. The necessity of consumer-credit is now undeniable- -at least it is deniable only by the callous or sluggish-minded, both of whom are numerous enough. Necessary as it is. however, I would not claim to deduce consumer-credit from these words of Our Lord about rendering to Caesar. No. that comes under the other clause "And to God the things that are God's!"

The Use of Money. The second assumption in Our Lord's words is less obvious, but no less interesting to the money-reformer: it is the assumption that money must naturally return into the hands of the one who Money is not, strictly issues it. speaking. a commodity, nor can it, strictly speaking. become personal proPertyIts true purpose is to be a medium of exchange, nothing less than the economic lifeblood of the community: it bears Caesar's insciiption because Caesar sends it out, has the right to call it back when its recall is for the general good .and is the true owner of it all A bf,ut those Woollies you prothe time it is in circulation.

f one could abstract completely from the reality of the supernatural, it would still have to be admitted that the Catholic Church is an astonishing institution. In the realm of Art, for instance, She has demonstrated a unique employment of the symbolism of colour. Apropos of the approaching feast of St. Patrick, this matter of the wearing of the green is a very interesting one. For among those who care neither for history nor tradition, it has become a custom to sneer or merely to pity Ireland and its people. To them all Irishmen are stage Irishmen, and green has become the symbol But in the household of naivete and good-htunoured stupidity. of the Faith, green is the emblem not of immature and irresponsible youth, but of youth perennial and ageless. of unceasing reprodurtivity and eternal vitality. • • Ad these qualities are personified in the person of St. Patrick. l'o him was given the privilege of the permanence of his apostolic labours, whereas to many another Saint this was denied. It can all he summed up in the wonderful simplicity of one sentence: Ireland has kept the Faith through 1.500 years. When one considers that time was when all Europe embraced the Catholic Faith, and that to-day where it is not lost it is at least dimmed. the phenomenon of Ireland shines oat with a new brilliance. Nor has Ireland :men content to become smug by the domestic hearth. Her sons aud daughters have, in all ages and with gladness, left home and kith and kin to carry the light of Faith to the utmost•ends of that is the reason why Australia cherishes the memthe eatth. ory ot Ireland's Patron. Saint. For unless his children had come from afar we might have been doomed to sit forever in the shadow of darkness.
The Stalest Lie Catholics ha‘c cause enough. in all reason, to complain of the type if history that is forced upon them in the official text-books. But when the evening Press bedecks its pages with the annals of the past. it is usually more than the normal intelligence can stand. The history in the evening newspaper is one of those things that cry out for vengeance. During the course of last week the press historian focussed his concentration upon a superstition so hoary that it is almost inconceivable that it should be re-born anew each generation as it apparently is. Galileo is -dead almost three hund so many exhumations! st dred years, but the poor man has—areTe runs thus: "Galileo story the of version journalese The latest brought new ideas into the world, and therefore came into conflict with the Inquisition. When he was 70 years of age, very ill, going blind, he was forced by savage threats to abjure all his work. He was forced to deny that the earth moves round the sun and to promise not to say anything so incredible again." • The first thing to be said about that sort of illiterate drivel is t hat if Galileo were punished by the Inquisition for introducing new ideas into the world, he suffered for a crime which the modern journalist is incapable even of committing. For not only can he not introduce. any new idea. but he cannot even adequately or The insistent repetition of the accurately retail the old ones. to the flesh of the Catholic weariness a proved has Galileo lie Apologist. One mildly speculates how in that historic period such t actics would have been met, and more suitably met, with an axe The whole difficulty about the expression of rather than a pen. "free thought" that the Press so hysterically defends, is that, apart from the fact that it is not free, it is not logical or reasonable enough to he justly termed "thought." The case of Galileo, moreover, is so well known. and the true facts so frequently stated, e ven by non-Catholics, that ignorance at this late hour is inexcusable. The second remark upon the summary of Galileo's case is It is a that it is a monstrous example of malicious omission. the than damnable more is that half-truth the of capital instance torwith threatened twice was Galileo that true is it While lie. ture (the recognised form of judicial examination at the time), it irrelevant and ulterior to bring in the question of his age or apGalileo was not tried on account of either proaching blindness. Indeed. the Pope and the Inquisition treated of his infirmities. him' "with unexampled indulgence." to quote so unbiassed an authority as the Encyclopaedia Brittanica. From the Pope he had t reacherously ridiculed, he received commutation of hi: sentence the very day it was passed and a special blessing on his death-bed. It is well that the outside world should realise that Catholics resent the type of slanderous lying with which the ignorant or the hostile seek to discredit the Church as a prototype of fiendish cruelty and injustice.
Inis-tvpe of incomplete reference omits all the essential points which make the case of Galileo at all comprehensible. It is idle t o infer that the Roman Congregations were attacking science when as a matter of fact the balance of scientific opinion at the Actually the Pope and the Cardinals t ime was against Galileo. were acting in the best interests both of science and religion. And although our Press historian did not deem it necessary to mention, Galileo's troubles began, not with the Church, but with his fellowscientists. Even amid the materialism of the last century it was admitted that "the boldness—may we not say the recklessness?— with which Galileo insisted on making proselytes of his enemies served but to alienate them from the truth." As far as the Church was concerned, it was not worried, much less afraid of Galileo's As a layman he had arrogated to himself scientific researches. the right to interpret the Scriptures, which was the exclusive prerogative of the Church, and the one which, at the time, was being challenged, and which eventually resulted in the Reformation. Galileo's propositions, moreover, were not satisfactorily demonstrated to be true until he had been over forty years in the grave. However, one.cannot hope to effect any permanent correction in regard to Galileo, for the journalistic lies in his regard have something of the pertinacity attributed (falsely) to himself: "E pur Si inuove."
The Mad and the Married That moulder of public opinion and educator of the people— the evening Press—recently quoted Dr. Paul B. Popenoe. of California. as having discovered four times as many cases of insanity among the divorced as among the married. From these observations a breath-taking conclusion was drawn. It appears that "the large percentage of insanity among the divorced is interpreted to mean that those on the verge of a mental breakdown are impossible That savours very much of a platitudinous non to live with!" sequitt.r. If the percentage of insanity among the divorced is large. that means that those who break the marriage vow have a fourfold.greater tendency to lose reason (as well as grace) than the married. But that is the consequence of divorce and not of marriage as the comment insinuates. It does not generally occur in Christian marriage that the difficulty of fidelity is so great as to predispose the mind to insanity which, according to the statistics, manifests itself after the marriage has been shattered. • • • • Many pens arc engaged in a subtle but stupid form of propaganda against Christian institutions. This is a choice sample of stupidity and of misconstructionWhen the effects of divorce have to be admitted as affecting the brain, the propagandists immediately accuse matrimony of having undermined the structure of reason. But the coincidence of the insanity occurring after divorce has escaped them. There is one other alternative, and that is to say that people only enter the marriage state because they are somewhat mad. Or can it he that the propagandists have straine,' themselves in trying to disapprove what nature and revelation alike have approved, and themselves incline to be "non comp°, mentis?" • • The whole fact of the matter is that when they abandon Christianity they run perilously close to abandoning reason. The essence of being reasonable and even of being rational is that the mind should be consistently loyal to its own principles. Now fidelity to a promise has a natural as well as a supernatural obliga. t ion. If a man insistently warps normal mental tendencies, everybody knows what might happen. except, of course, the anti-Christian propagandists. who are more interested in endeavouring to pull down revealed truth with childish fancies than in preserving • ip, elementary basis of reason with a few :imple fact: _

Goldfields Notes Sunday, March 1 , is " 1.en's Communion Sunday" on the Goldfields, when Catholics ot Kalgoorlie, Boulder. and outlying districts will unite in a public demonstration of their faith in and love for their Sacramental Lord. This demonstration is also the first act of Goldfields Catholics to honour St. Patrick, as it is customary for this corporate Communion to take place on the Sunday preceding St. Patrick's Day. The Goldfields celebrations of St. Patrick's Day are to take place in Boulder on Wednesday. March 18. In the afternoon the usual sports gathering will take place, at which the usual novelty events, side shows and pedestrian and whippet handicaps will be found. In the evening the national concert will be held in the Boulder Town Hall, and as the arranging of the programme is in the hands of musical director Mr. Percy Johnson. we are assured of a fine collection of items. The proceeds of the sports and concert are devoted to the maintenance of our Catholic schools. and it is the duty of all to foster thicause and to share the burden. By to-morrow evening's express, Mr. and Mrs. P. J. Russell will leave on the first stage of their European tour. For 30 years and upwards. Mr. Russell has been indefatigable in his efforts on behalf of Catholic activities. and has thereby earned the t-ratitude of the clergy and laity. In his work he has been ably supported by Mrs. Russell. Mr. and Mrs. Russell carry with them the good wishes of hosts of friends in Western Australia. and in par• ticular of Goldfields Catholics They sail from Fremantle by the Strathnaver on March 30. We wish them bon voyage, a happy holida,-, and a safe return. The older ex-students of C.1: College. Kalgoorlie, will be pleased to learn that Rey.

The St. Vincent de Paul So= ciety has undertaken the sale of "The Record" in Kalgoorlie. and in spite of increased supplies, did not succeed in satisfying the demand on Sunday last. The Society is particularly anxious to succeed in this new activity, and as extra supplies are on order, they hope that Catholics will support them.

PARISH St. Columba's, South Perth What has been known to old resi•
dents as Church Hill, overlooking ;Perth Water, is about to awake from its dreams to become the centre of much activity this year. On Saturday the first of the Busy Bees was at work clearing the timber that still remains and grubbing out roots. This preparation for the foundation of the new church has caused quite a stir in South Perth. At last this glorious site is to have a crown worthy of its unique position, and the longings of the faithful band of church workers, which St.
Columba's is indeed blessed, will be realised this year. The men who volunteered for the grubbing and clearing have something to say in the years ahead, recalling to their grandchildren the proud fact ttiat they helped to clear the block.
To build a new Church is ii responsible undertaking. for the builder must eater for the urgent present needs, and plan for to-morrow. How to use our rich inheritance of site and position in South Perth is a serious responsibility. and in submitting our plans to His Grace the Archbishop for his final decision, we beg our own parishioners to pray that ours may be the long vision in this matter. What a joy it will be to all in South Perth to have a church, to enter into the promised land after the wearying sears in uncomfortable seats in a little school-halt! It must be a great con. solation to the many who for years have made so many sacrifices in the cause of a new church! The church will be dedicated to St. Columba, one of the first of St. Patrick's mission ary sons, It will be a memorial to the sons and daughters, clerical, religious, and lay, of Ireland, who have lived the good life in West Australia. and by their ministrations, zeal, and force of example, have brought others to do likewise 1936 Programme, Everyone in -South Perth expects a
hard year this year--a last final effort to raise funds for the new church. We hope to get started immediately after Easter and to keep going for most of
the year. Two dates are worth bearing in mind— Thursday. May 7: The Children's Hall• in the Swan-street Hall.
Second Wednesday in June: Our An. nual Ball, at the Pagoda, Como. Other activities that will open soon
after Easter are the inevitable prize packet and a bridge and euchre tour•

The women's conference and the newly organised men's conference are doing splendid work.

Obituary THE LATE MR. JOHN BRENNAN.
The funeral of the late Mr. John Joseph Brennan, of 151 Newcastle. street. Perth, took place in the Catholic portion of the Karrakatta Cemetery
on February 28. Mr. Brennan, a native of Castlecomer. Ireland, was in his 78th, year, On first coming to Australia he opened up a drapery business in Queensland- but later transferred his business residence to this State in Gwalia. After a very successful busi. ness career, the late Mr. Brennan turned to Perth, where he had been living in retirement for a number of years. The late Mr. Brennan, who was widely known, was a popular
St. Gerard's, Palmyra The concert last week broke all records, which, however, was no reason for old Mr. Fitz breaking his axel while on his way to Perth to bring down some of the artists! Never mind, he was out to help things along as usual, What a thrill of pride our good parish priest, Father Kearin, must have felt addressing such a fine body of men at the reception ceremony of the Holy Name Society last Sunday evening. Most of us felt it was an occasion never to be forgotten.
It gives great satisfaction to learn that a men's branch of the St. Vincent de Paul Society has been set up in the parish. At the inaugural conference held at the presbytery on the Thursday. the 5th. of . this month, there was a very good attendance, and visitors
from the Perth and Fremantle branches of the society were well impressed with the commencement made. Thing is a good thing, may God's blessing be upon it,
We are very pleased to learn that Mrs, Blinco, of Canning-road, who has been very ill, is getting better again. Mr. E. Edwardes, of Solomon-street, the excellent Chairman of the Melville Roads Board, we are sorry to say, has been indisposed for some litle time. We wish him a speedy recovery. Mr. Joseph C, Haynes, son-in-Law ut Mrs. Wallace, of Preston Point-road, we hear with regret, is suffering bad health, but we hope that he will be well again before long. The Easter Gift distribution, organ. ised by Mrs. Blinete is a most attractive business—sheep, turkey, goolie, poultry, honey,
all there!

the loveliest school I have ever been inside. I am learning music now, and I practise every day. When I get a big girl I think I will be a music teacher. We all went to the Hibernian picnic last Sunday week, and we had a great day. That old grandpa of mine still can't run for nuts. Even my little brother could come second, but grandpa wasn't game to go in the Old Buffers' race because he was frightened of coming last or tumbling down the hill like Jack and Jill. I slept at grandma's the other night, and I was just going out to church with her when grandpa thought he would play a joke on me. He sneaked out the back way, and grandma spotted his head bobbing up and down over the fences. I don't know what I would do without grandma, because she lifted me up so I could see him, and when I did. I wriggled out of her arms and ran for my life and raced him. Even if he does try to play jokes on me, we are still good friends. . I must thank you for the lovely pictures you gave me: I gave Joan the one you enclosed for her, and she was very pleased with it. good-bye.--Your loving niece, PAT BYRNE. Dear Pat,--You have the art of writing nice letters, so perhaps when you are a big girl you might be somebody's private secretary, and being a private secretary is rather nice, because you get to know a whole lot of things nnbody else knows, for at least six months after you knew them. Please give my best sympathy to grandpa. and tell him as soon as I can T an, going to write him, a poem. because think grandma takes your part too much. especially when it comes ts races, Thank you for returning the green card and for asking for another. iAUNT BESSY.

THE RECORD.
MY FRIEND. Let me tell you how I made His acquaintance. I had heard much of Him, but took no heed. He sent daily gifts and presents, but I never thanked Him. He often seemed to want my friendship, but I remained cold. I was homeless, and wretched, and starving ,and in peril every hour; and He offered me shelter and comfort and food and safety; hut I was ungrateful still. At last He crossed my path. and with tears in His eyes He besought me, saying "Come and abide with Me." Let me tell ‘ou how He treats me now. He supplies all my wants. He gives me more than I dare ask. He anticipates my every need. He begs me to ask for more. He never reminds me of my past ingratitude. He never rebukes me for past follies. I.et me tell you further what I think of Him. He is as good as He is great. His love is as ardent as it is t rue. He is as jealous of my love as He is deserving of it. I am in all things His debtor, but He bids me call Him- Friend. Jesus Christ . --Robert Hugh Benson.

M.H.R. ON THE PRESS. Mr. Frank Brennan, M.H.R., addressing the annual meeting of the past members of the CY.M.S. in Melbourne recently, remarked that those who controlled the press "lie in black type and equivocate in small." He went on to say that they call that a fact which they know is a lie. They abuse the freedom which John Wilkes won for them. Men fear the press because they have no defence against its distortions of fact. Further, men believe what they read in the columns of the press, though they may say they don't. The newspapers were like the music hall artist— they played to the gallery. They b etrayed for less than thirty pieces of silver those who supported them, and they took the prerogatives of the Government out of the hands of those to whom they entrusted. were But Which may all he true. how uncomfortable politicians would be were the Press suddenly to decide to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
