THE GREATEST INVENTOR OF THE AGE MARCONI, THE WIZARD OF WIRELESS Hitches His Waggon to the Star of Catholicism
SCIENTIST
AND CHRISTIAN
t ilarconi is a Devout Catholic
Marconi, the staunch Christian, who declares that there is no peace where therc is no religious feeling, is revealed in the following sidelights into the life and character of the great scientist. Few men, even among crowned heads, have so many decorations as Marconi, tributes to his genius bestowed as a mark of gratitude for his great work for humanity. A great invention like wireless is shared by every civilised person, and all nations have joined in honouring the great inventor.

Then the Pope spoke: "God is the giver of perfect gifts of which this little State is so fortunate in having the most perfect example of radio telephony installed by the Marchese Marconi himself. We thank you and all your collaborators and invoke the blessing of God on all who have done so much for your welfare."

There are two wireless stations in the Vatican State, one at the atican itself and the other at the Pope's summer villa at Castel Gandolfo, about 12 miles away. They were both erected by Marconi, and they are equipped with the most modern machinery. Marconi has experimented with short waves _between these two stations, and His Holiness has expressed great interest in the work. The little station at the Vatican is often visited by Pius XI_ and it forms one of the ( maintest sights in the beautiful grounds of the newly built Vatican City. Success to Come.

Eileen Joyce and Her Earl/ Careers FANTASTIC NEWSPAPER REPORTS
THE issue of the "Broadcas-
ter," March 14, was given to me this morning ,and I do hope that you ‘vill find space for this short letter to nail the lie which Mr. Harry Farjeon, in "Musical Opinion," has written and is now reproduced in its pages. "The Wilds of Western Australia, with the intention of living like a bushman, as the natives are called" — and ;two families, her own and her uncle's ,living in tents; water Su precious that to wash was a r are luxury; savages and howling dingoes their only neighbours"—are extracts which the editorial blue-pencil should have barked at, for they are supposed to be pen pictures of Boulder City in 1922, when throt.gh my efforts Eileen Joyce was introduced to her townspeople as a promising musical genius. That it allowed such a description to pass. even in a reprinted contriThat, howbution. baffles Me. ever, is its own concern.
THE GIRL WITH THE M ARVELLOUS HANDS. (By Harry Farjeon.) ( Reproduced in " \V.A. Broadcaster," March 14.)
Of her birthplace. Zeehan, Tasmania, Eileen remembers nothing. She was an infant when her father. an Irish-Australian labourer. engaged in the smelting trade, made tracks with his family for the wilds of Western A ustralia, with the intention of living like a bushman, as the natives are called. And this is the first picture of the five that, so far, go to make up the life of Eileen Joyce. Rough bush country; two families—her own and her uncle's —living in tents; water so precious that to wash w as a rare luxury; savages and howling dingoes their only neighbours, and the constant fear of snakes (she still dreads them) and bush fires. It was fire that eventually destroyed the tent, and My responsibility is to chal- sent the family wandering into lenge the words which paint one regions more hospitable. Boulder City and Perth.

kind of humiliation, ignored, left out, made to feel that she was only the daughter of a starvationwage gold-miner, as her father had now become. She was not allowed to participate in the reading lessons. I smile as 1 write this, for Eileen has read to me, on occasion, with a certain natural force and point beyond the reach, I am sure, of her favoured fellow-pupils. No, she was not allowed to read, but heaven be praised! She was given some sort of piano, and at once her marvellous pianoforte hand (the finest tool of the kind I have ever come across in a young artist) came into play, and began to lift her into notice Faster than any of the millionairesses with sixpence a week could she play her first piece. "The Campbells Are Coming." This, with "Irish Diamonds," formed her repertoire; and she reflects sadly now that, when she visits her family, and has to confess that she has forgotten the latter, her father will assert that she had made no progress in her art. Her teachers, the nuns in the companion picture. are of a different character. One need not go beyond the old-fashioned word good"—it is enough. And it was a good priest who brought about he change. The good priest of Boulder City told the nuns of Loreto Convent about this clever little girl ‘'ho could play "The
Campbells Are Coming" so quickly, and they said, in effect, "Then let her come as quickly as possible." And, all for love, they gave her clothes, books, care, and comfort, and they let her sit among mayors' daughters —not in the back row among sixpenceless nobodies — and, gradually, from being a nobody, Eileen became a somebody. That physically musical hand proved to be partnered with a mentally musical temperament; and, under the tuition of the nuns of Loreto Convent, Eileen Joyce began to be Eileen Joyce. Percy Grainger heard her: "The most transcendentally gifted child I have heard in 25 years," was his verdict; and his advice was America. Backhaus heard her. He endorsed the verdict, but not the advice, voting for Leipzig. Leipzig it was to be. But how provide the funds? The nuns had done much, but they could not do this. Again a good friend cropped up —yes, that is the term, for our heroine has had a continual crop of good friends, from the mining. town priests onwards. friends won by talent and by personality This time it was a theatre manager. He began by engaging the young artist at a salary of £25 a week. Then he organised a concert tour in the hope that it would secure the funds for the European expedition. It did. The once penniless Eileen Joyce left her native country with £900 to her name.

What a pity these writers did not have an upstairs to that tent in the Boulder of 1922! We cannot stop that flow of irresponsibilities which rush after celebrities when written abroad, but we can, and should sub-edit such outpourings when they are used by - a paper published in. the capital city of the "Wilds of Western Australia." Those interested in getting the facts of Eileen Joyce's schooling and the part played by the people of W.A. in sending her abroad, can easily do so. for the members of the committee, on which I sat, are all here in Perth.—Yours, etc., J.

Catholic Tennis Association (By Sidelines...) Pennant Entries. The closing date for the entry of teams from each club has been definitely fixed for the 23rd. inst. Secretaries who fail to lodge nominations with the usual and necessary financial obligations will be wondering why no provision has been made for them in the syllabus if this rule has not been observed. The executive are tightening up on several matters which were allowed to be taken for granted in the past, and this is one that will be rigidly enforced.

THE CATHOLIC IAAMI - (Special to "The Record," by H. F. B.) The Child Jesus. The Catholic Press. The Ideal.
M
AN seems to spend his life grasping at the future. His ambitions lead him on in the hopes of one day reaching the goal of his desires and of resting in the peaceful possession of his objective. From the dawn of history heroes and hero-worship stem to have been planted deep down in the hearts of men. Ideals have ever been held up to man's gaze, and a, an appeal to his higher nature. Catholic the Hence we have t hurch holding up to the world the ideal Catholic Family. Men are shown the heights to which they must climb and the beauties c‘i those heights which may be enjoyed only after long and persi tent effort.
The ideal which the Catholic (.hurch holds out to every Catho1.. family_ is one that has been oilee fully realised. There have been many good examples, all more or less approaching the ideal, but all except one must be regarded as having failed, at lea;t in some respects, to achieve ft, perfection of family life. The of course, is the Holy Famof Nazareth. Since, there. God has -given us the ideal

coucerning the nature and end of thc Catholic family life we cannot do better than turn our - thoughts to that little home at Nn zareth. Why the
Holy Family?

family is to obtain for its membe,. - the possession of a life that
will newer end. The family does r oi exist merely for the sake of the love of husband and wife; nor for the love of parent and child ; nor for the acquisition of xvorldly f ortunes; nor for the promotion of the children in business: nor for the material prosperity of nations. All these are lawful and s ubordinate aims. sphordinate to the final aim which is to help immortal souls to get t6 heaven. This is the first, and; in a sense. the only lesson to be learned from the Holy Family of Nazareth the purpose of the Catholic family is the undoing of sin, the hindrance of sin, the propagation o f those truths and virtues which !cad to the courts of heaven.
The Child Jesus grew in wisdom and age and grace in the eyes of God and of men. Although possessing the Beatific Vision, and consequently all wisdom, knowledge, and grace, yet Jesus deemed it expedient to acquire an experimental knowledge of things. He, the great, infinitely wise God, humbled Himself to learn from Joseph and Mary the great trt.ths about religion, and
how to apply them to the development of the spiritual life. He chose to undergo that laborious education to set the example to all Christian families, to show them that it was only by constant
teaching and learning that Christian character could be formed. The Christian mother, then, assiduously watches for the first
dawn of conscience in her child. She knows that the first impressions are the most effective and
the most lasting. She delights to take her child on her knees and teach it to pray. Her pride is to watch her little one growing in the love of God, of the Blessed Virgin, and inclining to all that is good and pure. The time comes for the child to go to school. There must be no ques-
tion about the character of the school, it must be Catholic, for there alone will the child find a thoroughly Catholic atmosphere. The constant or frequent presence of priests or religious, the Catholic prayers, the statues and the fixtures, all, tend to keep before the the child the great fact' is. a Catholic. The Spirit of a Catholic Home.
Undoubtedly the Catholic school plays a most important part in the future of its children, but the good done at school is often destroyed by the indifference shown by many parents. These expect the Nuns or Brothers to do eyervthing. but forget that they themselves are the r eal obstacles in the way of their children's future. The Catholic spirit and education gained in the class-room nmst be able to live and thrive in thc family circle. Perhaps only the teachers realise what a great deal of harm is done
to children by the bad influence in the home. The task of the teacher is made harder by the lack of training which can be given only in the home and by the parents. First of all, there ougnt
More important even than Catholic art is Catholic literature.
These are days when everybody r eads, or at least is supposed to read. And it is notorious that Catholics do not buy books as they should. The greatest teach er in the whole of Christendom has raised his voice in warning that unless we support a good Catholic Press, it will be useless for us to build schools and cht_rches. Now our own State is not wanting in a Catholic Press. The crying shame is that so many Catholic families never see their own Catholic weekly. The subscription is so low, being threepence per week, that even the poorest families should not be without its own Catholic paper. Those who assist in getting the
Catholic paper of the State into every Catholic home have the assurance of our present Holy Father that they are playing a most important part in Catholic Action and the alvation of immortal souls. The Importance of the Catholic Weekly in the Home.
No one perhaps has a greater responsibility of purchasing a copy of the Catholic paper than the Catholic parent. Especially in the matter of education does the Catholic need to know the bearings between the mind of the Church and the mind of the State. He must know what the bishops have said, what is being done in the various Catholic schools and colleges: in a word, he must be alive to his duties as Since he a Catholic citizen. Catholic Press is one of the me . of securing a svell educated laity, the Catholic weekly onght to be a regular feature in every Catholic household.
The Principles of Catholic Family Life. ‘Ve may sum up, then, the principles of Catholic family life thus: The family is the fpundation of the State, and the strength and purity of the State depend on the strength and purity of the f amily. The family, however, is not the foundation of the Church, but is rather the child of the Church. taking its. instructions f rom the Church, and existing primarily for the same end as the Church. namely, the salvation ot souls. It should therefore be Catholic in its faith, hope and love. The Catholic faith •‘%ill he fostered by ceaseless attention to
the Sacraments, to Catholic education during youth. and Catholic instruction through the Press during manhood. From Catholic faith and hope will spring Catholic. love. This will be made ever more and more fruitful by being kept in order. the father and mother ruling by love, the children obeying through love. The endeavour must be made ta carry these Catholic principles into, the world of business and professions, and to show to the non-Catholic world that religion and intellectual efficiency are not incompatible: nay, to show that only by the observance of the law of religion can the family achieve the perfection it desires.

The Church and Large Families. The Catholic Church does not compel people to have large families, and where there is no , elfish and sinful contrivance to a void children, no law of God is N.iolated, and happiness may reis-m in spite of the empty cradle. Many instances are recorded in our history of Catholic married people living in continence, even under a vow, and there are happy families in which parental self-restraint and mortification, and not sinful measures, account fur the small number of children. Nevertheless, the Catholic way ,f life tends towards the large family. We have experience of the power of the grace of God and the Sacraments of the Church. We know how to trust God to provide for the children t hat He sends.

AUSTRIA FROM WITHIN WHY SOCIAL DISORDER PERSISTS
More than a year ago the members of the Austrian Hierat chy, in a Christmas message, raised their voice in defence of the \vorkers. It may be recalled that their Pastoral Letter el eated a profound impression, not only in Austria but in other c.Junics also. In their recent Christmas: Letter they returned to the subject. observing that since their previous pronouncement the complaints of the workers had not diminished. Thus, they emphasised the persistence of social disorder in Austria, a state of affairs that may seem surp7ising to those who are unaware ot t he extent of the malady, and its inner causes. Indeed such people expected an efficacious and final remedy for the social eN us O f our time to flow front a Chi isan corporative State such as Vas been proclaimed in Austria.

The whJle w orld. of course, remembers t'lat the ministers were deprived at the very beginning of the leader whose energy. courage and intelligence had been an inspiration to all in overcoming Austria's difficulties. Only those familiar with conditions before, as will as after, the war, can attempt to estimate the magnitude of the pro!ern c which Dollfuss was attempting to solve when he was struck down.

In a talk on "Africa" recently London, Father Edward King, of the Jesuit community of Farm Street, who spent several years in the African missions, made a startling statement contrasting religion in Africa with indifference and materialism in London. The people of Africa, he said, were nearer to God than were thousands of people in London. The African people had a much better notion of God's being and His reality

The Comman(lments are for all, and bind under penalty of damnation; the c ounsels of perfection are for those who out of the generosity of their hearts desire to follow the Master in the way of perfection. • • Now the essence of religious community life is the love of This is best atGod and love of fellow creatures for His sakepromised to be Christ And mortification. and tained by prayer present in a special way with those who prayed in common.

To a busy utilitarian and materialistic age. religious Orders are a standing enigma. But the true Christian knows the value of prayer, and realising its great lack in the world, understands that they make atonement for the sins of many, ask God's mercy upon His people. and give Him the honour, praise and glory denied by many in the world. "For so the whole round earth is every way hound by gold chains about the feet of God."
Juvenile Delinquenry The Statistical Registe:. for 1934-35. which yeas recently made a vailable, revealed a large increase in juvenile crime in this State. This was followed by an address on the subject to the Methodist Conference by Probation-Officer A. H. Bulky, which provoked a' Oddly enough. though the great many letters in the Press. only eight were for ofconvictions 743 of out s tatistics show that letters dealt with the majority of the the person.the against fences A need of, and responsibility for, the sex training of juveniles. account parmarshalled to for the been has great array of reasons ticipation of youth in crime. such as the sale of firearms, tacit
glorification of crime in films, drink, senseless display of wealth by those possessing it, persistent laxness in business methods, the o'er-privileged child, the under-privileged child, lewd and indecent books, the coddling of the convict, the growth of urban centres, and the lack of religious training. While it would be rash to deny that any of the foregoing reasons are motivating or anyhow contributory causes of juvenile delinquency, the urgency of solving this unnatural problem compels us to examine what are primary and what secondary causes. In the chronological order, it would seem that one should place the primary emphasis on the home training of the child. Everything of an external moral or educational influence is vain if there is not present the internal precept and example of the home. It might very seriously be contended that the modern drift from domesticity expressing itself in the legions of flats and in the increasing alienation of parent from child, is the preponderating factor in the growth of juvenile criminals. Yet modern philosophy and practice alike subscribe to the notion that any place is preferable to home. The widely and wildly discussed eugenic measures which aim at improving the race as a whole, tend radically to destroy the family, which is the corner-stone of society. We have waited a long time to find some responsible statesman face this position of national decay, resulting from the decline of its constituent calls. We shall probably be waiting a good time vet. •

Next in importance to the home is the school. "In the school satchel lie the keys of to-morrow," is a dictum which Catholic, have endorsed with some cost.. Of course, unless the home is right, it is worse than useless to be worried about the school, even if it be a secular school. But in many instances habits of right thinking and right living built up over the period of childhood in the home, are pulled down within a few months in the school environment. This may arise from two causes. Perhaps some parents imagine it enough to incite the child to virtuous living from purely natural and, therefore, insufficient motives. It is not sufficient to acquire the spirit of "the sport." that jolly fellow who never does anyone any harm. Virtue must have a supernatural motive, and must be definitely positive, aiming to do good as much as to avoid evil. But the main onus of this merely naturalistic tendency towards virtue can be safely laid at the door of secular education. It is unspeakably inadequate, even for its own objective of training for citizenship. For a boy's true civic pride and virtue could only he solid in the light and promise of the Eternal City. However, there is no need to dwell on this. We can see the failure of secularism in any of the letters in the Press when liscussing any moral issue. • • Deserving of third place in the. major causes of why youngsters fall into crime is undoubtedly the fast -crumbling social and economic fabric. Despite the ardour of certain sociologists, it can only be third because it is still possible, though exceeding difficult, to have a good deed shining in a naughty world. If the home and. the school were sound. the Saints might live again even in Babylon, though they would, for the most part, be martyrs. As things stand. there is an inhuman exploitation of young labour which us. Christian government would tolerate. On the one side is a vast accumulation of profit earned by employees who receive the barest pittance. Small wonder that the brow of big business is constantly harrowed by the dread of petty theft. And even more serious than the money aspect is the loss of liberty and the degradation of human dignity. If a much greater percentage of young people were in prospect of becoming economically independent. "their own masters," as we say, this sense of responsibility would increase and would be reflected in the normal sphere.
Right to Print the liMe It was recently reported in the Press that a petition may 1 )k• presented to the King asking for freedom for anyone to print the Protestant Authorised Version of the Bible. It is a curious detail about "Church and State" arrangements in Britain that the printing of the Holy Scriptures is a prerogative of the Crown. It is entrusted by Letters Patent to the King's Printers, Messrs. Evre and Spottiswoode. and to the University Presses of Oxford and Permission has to be obtained from the Cambridge. Printers before any publisher can issue an edition of any book of the Bible in this version, and they have before now vindicated their right in the law courts. In strict law one cannot quote a verse of the Authorised Version or print the Lord's Prayer from it without asking Messrs. Eyre and Spottiswoode. But copyright is never insisted on in this way, and the King's Printers, of course, have never insisted on their rights over Bible quotations. This matter comes to the fore with the opening of a new reign, as the patent expires with the death of a monarch. The prime movers in the demands for its abolition are Scottish Nationalists, who have discovered another grievance in the English monopoly And indeed it is somewhat of a curiosity that the of the Bible: temporal powers should hold the keys to the treasury of inspired Especially ses. as it has always been a Protestant grieytruth. ancesagainst Catholics that they -did not have free access to the Inspired Books, and that the Bibles were chained in the churches to discourage their reading. Small though this matter is, it endorses the Catholic practice of having the "imprimatur" on religious literature. This appears less a form of tyranny than was quite recently supposed. It is even beginning to assume the proportions of the common-sense measure that it is meant to protect. the tinenli!z-htened against char1atanism. imposture. and fraud.

St. Patrick's First Paschal Fire. In an eloquent address, the preacher recalled the famous incident on the Hill of Slane, when the Saint celebrated the first Christian Pasch in pagan Ireland. The Paschal fire which St. Patrick enkindled was a challenge to the pagan ritual of the Druids, who felt that unless that fire was extinguished that day. it would not be put out for ever. Little did the Druids realise that their utterances were prophetic. and the preacher went on to show how the light of that fire illumined all Ireland and many European countries as well.

Kalgoorlie Farewell s • On Thursday evening, March Kalgoorlie Catholics gathered in large numbers to bid farewell and "boa voyage" to Mr. and Mrs. Russell, who left by last Sunday evening's express on the first stage of their world tour. Many have been the valedictory functions held in St. Mary's Hall, but never were tributes so heaped on .lay people as on that Thursday evening. The many services rendered by the guests of the evening during the last 30 years to priests and people, to Catholic and Protestant, to rich and pour, were passed in review, then it was that one fully appreciated Dr. Kennedy's opening remarks: "We are gathered here to say good-bye to a very uncommon man . ." Their exemplary Catholic lives, their zeal for Catholic education, their efforts on behalf of Catholic hospitals and similar institutions, their making the poor and needy partners in their worldly goods, and all done unostentatiously, has earned for them during three decades the gratitude of Catholics and Catholics were pleased to acknowledge their debt. and acknowledge it they did on that evening. The function began shortly after 8 p.m. Very Rev. Dr. Kennedy was chairman. and on either side of him sat Mr. and Mrs. Russell. On the dais with them were Rev. Dr, Goody. Rev. Father Grennan, Rev. Brother O'Connor. Messrs- E. Flanagan. A. Boylen, R. Johnson. and E. Heenan. ery Rev. Dr Kennedy opened the proceedings He felt pleased to have this opportunity of expressing his thanks and appreciation of the work of Mr, and Mrs. Russell. It wae an uncommon function tended to a very uncommon man. Mr. Russell was an uncommon man because, though quiet. he made himself felt. He (Dr. Kennecly1 and their guest had been close. ly associated in the work of the parish during the last five years, and he had much to thank Mr. Russell for. Could all the previous Administrators of Kal. goodie express themselves they, too, would testify to the invaluable services rendered by Mr. Ruesell and by Mrs Russell. When rather Robinson. passed through Kalgoorlie some years ago, the first inquiry of Kalgoorlie's first Administrator was: "Is Mr. Russell an good as he ever was?" and the answer was "Better." Dean Kielv. only a few months before his death, paid tribute once again to Mr, and Mrs. Russell. Rev. Fathers Kiernan and Moss are always loud in their praises of our guests. Dr. Ken. nedv then referred to the exemplary Catholic lives of Mr. and Mrs. Russell, and to the excellent parents they had been and were. He admired the rathnlicits• of Kalgoorlie men—as a
r, ana
group there were none better—but he t elt he wronged none when he said "Mr. Russell stands head and shout ders above them all." Mr. Russell had always been a splendid example of a Catholic man, and Mrs. Russell of a Catholic woman. He was pleased they were taking a well-earned holiday. and extended to them his vety best wishes for a happy holiday and a safe return. Very Rev. Dr. Goody said it was easy to speak of the work and persons of Mr. and Mrs. Russell, so well known to all Catholics were the In his short time on the fields he, too, had become indebted to them in many re spects. He felt that they would be much missed in Kalgoorlie and beyond it, for they were supporters of Catholic causes that went further afield thar. Kalgoorlie. He wished them both a pleasant trip, a happy holiday, and a safe return. Rev. Father Grennan said he was privileged to support and endorse the remarks of Dr. Kennedy and Dr Goody. Mr. and Mrs. Russell were well known for their good works. He was indebted to them in another respect. Since his arrival in Australia Mrs and Mrs. Russell had made him feel s•ery much at home, and for that he was truly grateful. Had they a motto he felt sure it would be "Sens per Fidelis." were one to judge them by their attitude to Catholic causes He joined in wishing them bon vov. age and a happy holiday, Rev. Brother O'Connor said he was grateful for the opportunity to ex press the feelings of the schools te s uch illustrious parishioners. All the previous Principals of the College. from Rev. Brother Duggan to himself. paid great testimony to Mr. and Mrs. Russell. The history of the College was wrapped up with the name of Russell His was the first name on the petition for the establishment of the College in Kalgoorlie. In other respects, ton, students were indebted to Mr. Russell. He was the anonymous donor of examination entry feel and of clothing also, at times, for the needy, Such acts of charity had altered the prospects of many a son of poor parents. Books. too, had been found—never was a deaf ear turned to a request by the Brothers for their boys.

y elopments in education. In the light if all this wi ek he felt the College was deeply indebted to their guests, to whom he wished bon voyage, a happy holiday, and a safe return. Mr. A. Boylen referred to the layman's debt to Mr, and Mrs. Russell By their activities during the last thirty Years they had made us all their debtors, and we were pleased %of this opportunity to acknowledge our debt and express our gratitude. Mr. Russell had been secretary of St. Mary's Building Committee, and had been largely instrumental in giving us our House of Worship. He was associated with the establishment of Catholic schools and hospitals, and the enlargements thereof ,and had thus rendered great services to the laity through hi's activities. The speaker referred to the high esteem in which Mr, Russell was held by the Kalgoorlie commun. ity, Catholic and Protestant- as was evidenced from the testimbnies paid to him at a civic farewell tendered by the Mayor of Kalgoorlie, Mr. E E. Brimage, earlier in the week. On behalf of all he wished Mr. and Mrs. Russell a very pleasant holiday.
of the people of Kalgoorlie the Mayor hoped that the guest and his wife would have a very happy holiday. Dr. Kennedy. in adding words of appreciation of the segvices and assistance given by Mr. Russell. said that they had often been associated in the same cause together. Dr. Kennedy referred to the valuable work done by Mr. Russell as a member of the St. Vincent de Paul Society, which protected the needy of all classes in the community. 'On behaif of himself and the Catholic people. Dr Ken. nerly wished Mr. Russell and his wife a pleasant trip and a safe return. Brother O'Connor, of the Christian Brothers' College, said that long before he came to Kalgoorlie he. had heard of the good work being done by Mr. Russell. The Brothers regarded him as a father, for 30 years ago when there had been an agitation to have the Christian Brothers come to Kal. goodie, Mr. Russell's name had been at the head of the petition. lr. Russell was identified with every move. rnent for the welfare of Kalgoorlie, The president of the Kalgoorlie sub. branch of the Returned Seldiers' League. Mr. R. R. Gibbs, joining with those wishing Mr. Russell bon voyage, said that he was a man of his word and honour, and it did no harm to let him knew it. As far as the R.S.L. was concerned, Mr. Russell was ever ready to assist when approached. The Town Clerk, Mr. C. Eccles, said that the guest had progressed with the town• and if an influence for good counted there was no better eitiren than he. Messrs G. Siggins, Daws Hamilton. P. .1. O'Dea and A. Bnylen also added their best wishes. Responding. Mr Russell said he was grateful for what had been said about him, hut the little he had done for the town and the community had been a pleasure to do. As far as the St. Vincent de Paul Society was concerned, he was only a small unit, but that society had done a tremendous amount of good in taking care of the poor and needs' of all sections of the community He would have oleacure in conveying the wishes f those present to his wife Mr. Rues..sll pr. , posed the health of Mr. Brimage, e.-1- made suitable response:
Mr. P. Johnson was also pleased to extend his geed wishes to the guests of the evening. He expressed his and the Catholics' admiration of the constancy of Mr. Russell's efforts for Catholic causes. In season and o' .t of season Mr. Russell was always at his post, and the completion of one task meant, not respite, but the beginning of another. He would be much missed, for no one could, or would, do what Mr. Russell had done. Ile was sure that after a good holiday —and he was pleased Mr. and Mrs. Russell were taking a holiday while they could enjoy it --they would return to take Up their work. Ile wished them a pleasant holiday. Mr. Flanagan paid tribute to the charitable work of their guests, always unostentatiously done. His work brought him into close contact with relief organisation, and he knew something of the eharity dispensed by Mr. and Mrs. Russell. He felt rure they would have a good holiday. Messrs. Heenan, S. J. Hill, J. Sheehan. J. J. Lawler, and D. B. Sullivan supported the previous speakers and wished Mr and Mrs: Russell a good trip, a happy heliday, and a safe re• turn.

To walk in our May Procession we invite the various sodalities of the Children of Mary. Burning Oft! Do you remember Saturday after. noon last? Phew! 'Twas hot! And lest it may not have been hot enough, we lit fires on the hill. "Yes, siree," as the Amurricans say, "we sure were dumb!" Rill and Jimmy worked like terriers at a stump, but that did not keep them from making the othei bees buzz with laughter.. I am inclined to think that Bill and his brother Timmy have a little drop of Irish in their Scotch! For dour they never can be. Crouching beside a blazing log was Dick, an excellent model for a "Before the Day of Bryant and May." Ado! We can stage it again for a small consideration—.so you match-smokers, get that noised around. You know the guy who smokes matches and puts the dead 'tins bark into the box, and then hands you a casket of stiffs, to make you use bad language!

EsSYS N1ECE5 and NEAticw A LETTER FROM SANDY McDOUGALL, Peilegrini's Window, h ay-street, Perth. Sunday Morning. My Dear Cornerites,—Except for the t orte Sundays I was at the bottom of t he sea with the octupuses and the jelly fish, and mermaids, and the two Sundays I was a patient in St. John of God Hospital at Suby, this is the first Sunday I have ever missed Mass in my life. I don't know what my confessor will say about it, but I've offered my-.elf to be raffled so I suppose I have o . do all that goes with the offering. I have had a -terribly eventful career since I knocked out poor old Donald McPherson. Mrs. McTavish says that :t was unlucky to knock a McPherson out, as the McPherson clan nev5r for. gets an injury, to say nothing of a swollen jaw, but I don't reckon Donold is the revengeful type as he was the first to put in something for my ransom.
I want to thank you all now for o olsorning me. It was a terrible blow t, , my pride to think you didn't all 'me forward in a rush, but it's shown me that Aunt Bessy thinks the world t men when she would ransom me by mortgaging the Corner and the typewriters and I don't mean to let her be at the loss of it either, so I'll endure what I'm going through now. It, all scesns a dream now--my getting kid. flapped by those nasty pink and silver tailed mermaids who thought they were just the icy because they had beautiful hair and graceful curves, but after being in their stronghold for three weeks I never want to see any. thing in the fish line again, and I've seen enough eurthymics to last me a The only exercise those lifetimemermaids did all day was to comb their ! air with the end of their tails, so when the sirens ordered them to tickle the soles of my poor feet they thought ? t was great fun. but I didn't, and now one leg is shorter than the other, and that's from them trying to pull it. I noticed recently that there is some writing to the Corner and she goes by the name of "Your Would-Be Pet." ' he's a bit sweet on me. so I hope it isn't Mary Snoggins in disguise. as I've orne up from the sea a greater woman hater than I ever was before. When they had planted me back on my bed in the Never Die Hospital, the doctor said it would do me good to take a flying trip to Melbourne. so I t ook it, and I wouldn't have missed it f or the world. I was made a fuss of everywhere I went, because everyone 'n Melbourne had heard about me icing kidnapped. and they wept with emotion when they saw me. Then a nice young lady offered to take me back here as part of her luggage. and as that meant I could travel free I a ccepted her offer, because I knew by the look of her she was too ladylike to tag on a proposal at the end of her The poor thing was the tourney. only lady flier with five gentlemen and myself. hut she forgot all about blushing once she began to get air She couldn't take her eyes off sickme from the time we started until we got to the aerodrome, and every time the 'plane would give a bump, she would say "Sandy. darling, are you safe?" How could a fellow not be safe when he was wrapped up in 10s, worth of cotton wool, and coffined in polished box marked "Glass with rare?" Anyway, it was her idea to label me "glass with care." so I sup. pose when he was getting me through free I should he grateful to be labelled at all. The 'plane trip is alright for business men that are teetotallers, but dad and Mr. McTavish would drop off half way because no one is al/owed earry any White Horse. I'm not too used to my surroundings yet. Ind I will write to you regularly while I'm here, because once June 3rd comes and Dr. McMahon draws the winnme number, I don't know where I'll find myself and I may have to sever my connection with the Corner forever This is going to be some experience. judging by what I've gone through on my way to the window On Friday they took my photo., so that -sou could all get a look at me, and 1 was hung up by the base of my neck for a solid hour. but T hope when von see the result of the trial that ono will warm to me again, and do yells best to make me as good a success as that Bride was last year.— 'Vohs loving. SANDY.
To Aunt Bessy's Nephews and Nieces Congratulations and Thanks from the Founder MY DEAR CORNERITES,— During the past year I have been away, but the great distances that divided me from you did not lesson my interest in the Corner. Avidly I awaited "The Record" during the months I spent so happily with m7.mother in Co. Clare, and greatly did I read every word in the Corner. A t home everyone knows of the Bushies' Scheme, and time and time I had to speak of it during Mass and at special gatherings. In Ireland they are most enthusiastic, so much so that, in response to an appeal for "adoption " you know what that means, it is a personal act of thoughtfulness for Others less fortunately situated, and it asks us, you and I, to send this Catholic weekly, or any other Catholic paper, to an addres? in the country—well, in response there came a mail of 600 letters! I made a, gallant effort to answer them but could not finish. So I have many letters awaiting an address to which Irish Catholic papers and books will be sent regularly. I do hope that the good Sisters who conduct the Religious Holiday Schools, and the various correspondence centres of "Religion-by-Post" will send me long lists of addresses, so that every Catholic family in the bush may receive Catholic literature While in AmericaI gave several talks on our scheme, and told them Again I was beseeched for addresses. about this most fruitful Corner. Don't you think it would be a pity to disappoint all these generous people anxious to join our "Adoption" movement? In London. I was able to give three hundred addresses to the Editor of "The Universe," who will supply all applicants until the number is filled. The Editor of the "Sunday Independent" (Dublin) has promised to do the same. You see. children dear, that my ambition is to have every isolated family in the country made happier and holier by the constant visitation Of a Catholic paper. I believe that we can do that, provided I receive from the country parishes lists of names and addresses. New Children of the Scheme. You will be delighted to learn that three new centres were formed during law time away- one in Norway, one in Alberta. Canada and one in the heart of London, We may rejoice over these three children, now actively growing in such widely separated countries—children of our own scheme. founded and worked in our own Archdiocese of Perth. While in America I was approached by two priests from Alberta, Canada, whose parishes were akin to the wide areas our own zealous priests have charge Recent letters indicate that the scheme is doing well. Through the of "Universe," I directed the organisation of the scheme among the ac attered Catholic families in Norway. Have you ever read any stories by Her novels indicate how Cathe Norwegian authoress, Sigrid Undest? To-day. tholic a land Norway was before the so-called Reformation. thank God, there is a growing movement towards the Church in that northern land. To aid the children of the Catholic settlers, I have outlined our scheme in its three parts, Religion. Holiday Schools, easily the most important part, the correspondence Classes, and the "Adoption" Movement, and two Norwegian priests have begun to work it. In the heart of the biggest city of the world, the mighty London, you would not expect to find "busbies." No, they are not there, but there are Catholic families needing the helps the Bushiees' Scheme gives- Under the auspices of Our Lady of Ransome. a modified scheme is now al work. CONGRATULATIONS AND THANKS. My only intention in writing you was to offer you my sincerest congratulations and thanks. I should have begun by doing this, but my pen ran nway with me in its mad delight to share with you any happiness at the thought of our scheme helping others .in foreign countries. You did splendidly this year, and no wonder. Your Aunt Tiessy has sung your praises to me since Inv return_ T was delighted to learn also that, through His Grace the Archbishop, there had come from Ris Holiness the Pope a special recognition and blessing for Aunt Resss- and her zealous band of Cornerites. What more can I add to that? Only to assure you that I have offered up a Mass of thanksgiving in your name, and for your intentions for the wonderful result of the 1935 appeal. It must interest you, my dear children, to know that we have sent the monies you have raised under the enthusiastic leadership of Aunt Besse% to the centres in the country where priests. Sisters and laity are in the firing line of Catholic Action. There the trenches are, and there the big sacrifices are being made, sacrifices of well-earned holidays, of time and personal inconvenience. We are back at the base, comfortably at our ease and 7:ur part is to send supplies so that the advance may continue, and that each Year the frontier of God's Kingdom may grow in ever widening circles until every Catholic home in the bush comes under the beneficial influence of the scheme, and every Catholic child is prepared for the reception of the Sacraments. There can be no end to this our work. for on the fight must go. consolidating our position sbv bringing back the same children. year after year, and then enticing new children to come. Let not the success of 1935tempt you to rest on vour laurels. No, dear ohildren. rally around your Aunt Ressy this year, for the front-line still needs, and with God's help, will need- more and more- supplies as the Years roll on. May God bless Aunt Bess' and her generous Cornerites for making it possible for our priests and our Sisters to continue this missionary crusade ornong the smiling children in the country, whom we have learned in terms of affectionate regard to call the "Bushies."—VerY sincerely Y,,tirs.

Dear Aunt Bes.sy,—Please find enclosed cards and P.N. for 5s. I do hope it will be of some small assistance in helping you t. , regain Your precious typewriter front the clutches Of those money lenders, I felt I had to hurry and help in this particular instance, for with no machine you w ould not be able to carry on your good work. I was very touched re Sandy and his being kidnaped by the sirens and mermaids, and am looking f orward to seeing the young hero at close quarters. I also hope this yeas will be a very good one for the Busbies' Fund ,and exceed all your expec. •.ations. I will do my small share to help make it so. so please send me a book of tickets on Sandy.

Dear Client of Our Lady,—Thank you for being so loyal to the Corner, and though my present position is a t rifle humiliating I have every hope to --egain full possession of the typewriter Ind the Corner by Easter Monday, es. pecially now that Sandy has acted with such nobility regarding the raffling of himself.

Later on you are released. I will try to when take some more tickets and interest some of our Collieites, who seem not to read the Corner, as I don't often see a letter headed Collie. Of course our new church is making a great demand ra) our purses just now. Tell Sandy t o be kidnapped so soon after the not New Year another time, as money is so scarce then: I am sure Donald would not have been so foolish as to succumb to the wiles of those sirens. You must be glad to have Rev. Dr. back to help you. as I think McMahon he would he able to keep Sandy in order better than You. Tell your Editor I think 'The Record" is very much more ineresting than it used to be, and I n jov the various articles on current t opics, but it is always the Corner I look at first.

Rest assured that if you win Sandy he will be useful as well as ornamental, and though he was a bit oolish at the beginning of 1936, the oenerosity with which he has put himo.l.f up for the raffle has quite atoned - everything.

Poor Aunty! you must always .be on tenter-hooks over that dear lad; he seems to be so unfortunate, always falling out of the frying-pan into the fire.

Sandy McDougall The Hero of the Bushies' Scheme
Meet Sandy McDougall—the White-Haired Buy of the Corner, who has endeared himself to grown-ups and young folk alike, because of his constant support of the Bushies' Scheme.

No self consciousness mars his handsome face; rather he posse es that perfect serenity which comes from the knowledge that he can bear to be the cynosure of all eyes and fear the criticism of none. Clad in his kilts, the velvet jacket enhancing the blond glory of his curly hair, he looks out at all the Cornerites, silently pleading that they will their threepence on him for the sake of the Busbies.

and taking it to his mother said, "We'd better get this filled up now and give the Bushies a start for this year," His mother said she would see to it, as she thought it was a bit early to begin the card appeal again, and her thirteen. year-old boy was so emphatic about asking her not to forget, that the card was filled in his memory yesterday, and I can't help feeling that Our Blessed Lord will surely have smiled on his soul and brought it to rest near His Sacred Heart. All this is rather serious for a birth. day letter, but birthdays are days for serious as well as gay thoughts, as each new anniversary gives us a new :ease of life from the Hand of Aln-:ighte God, and He expects us to recard His gift with gratitude and earnestness. so I hope it will be this way with you.

BIRTHDAY GREETINGS TO MICHAEL NALLEN
most presumptuous and quixotic would be foolhardy enough to run any risk. In the absence of the lascivious object, one feels a strength and a sense of security which is extremely gratifying to one's self-love, but which is liable to be very rudely shaken when the hour of trial is really at hand. Experience proves that even the s turdiest and the most resolute easily deceive themselves. H they do not misjudge their own powers. they are apt greatly to under estimate the seductive force and disconcerting energy and impetuosity of their enemy. before which all their fine resolutions dissolve like mist before the sun. "What is stronger or harder. what is more stubborn and unbending, than highly tempered steel? With that, men break through rocks and excavate mountains; yet its strength disappears and turns to weakness when it is confronted with the fire. Thrust a bar of the most rigid steel into the blazing heat of the furnace. Will it remain rigid? No! See! It is all undone. It bends and yields like softest wax, and drops away in liquid weakness before so fierce a h eat. "So it is with the soul of a man wilfully exposing himself to the fires of *purity. God will. no doubt, protect His faithful children amid even the fiercest flames. as He protected the three children in the Babylonian furnace. 'seven times heated'; hut this He x'ill do on one condition: only if. like Sidrach, Misach and Ahdenagso. they are thrust in by t he hands of others (or by unforeseen or unavoidable circumstances) ; not if it be through any wilful imprudence or curiosity o f their own.
