Teresa cNeumann Sufferings of Atonement TEN YEARS WITHOUT FOOD OR DRINK
MTH HER SISTER —A I ARSBERG.
\ 1 .\
H YSICIANS say that a man could live about ten days without eating or drinking. Since October, 1925, Teresa Neumann has not eaten anything, and since Christmas, 1926, she does not take even liquids. She sustains life only by Holy Communion. To exclude any attempt at deception, Teresa has been watched closely for a period of fifteen days by a special Commission appointed for the purpose by the Protestant University of Erlangen, under the supervision of the Director of the Board of Health. The result was an official statement that Teresa had not eaten or drunk anything throughout the fifteen days. Her weight, however, remains about the same. For those who are disinclined to believe in the supernatural, the happenings at Konnersreuth must set them thinking.

STIRRING BROADCAST MESSAGE This broadcast Hello, Australia! is coming to you from Dublin. Your It is announcer is Kenneth Hall. ,with very great pleasure that we introduce to you President de Valera. This is the first occasion on which the President has broadcast to Australia. and we feel that he could not have chosen a more appropriate day than the 17th. of March (St. Patrick's Day). He will open his remarks in the National language, and will continue in English. Immediately before you heir the voice of the President, you will hear the sound of St. Patrick's Bell. The identical bell, they say. chimed Ladies and gentle1.500 years ago. ro.en, the President!" The President Addresses Australia. "I have the pleasure to-day of speaking for the first time to listeners in A ustralia," said President de Valera, "and of sending them a hearty mes• sage of 'goodwill from the people of Ireland.

We are proud of the path they and their forbears played in the building of the great Australian 'Commonwealth, and proud that at the foreign antipodes they are striving to realise the highest ideals of the race from which they spring We know that some of the best blood of our race flows in the veins of the Australian Irish. and our history is linked to Australia by many names which are revere(j in Ireland—Michael Dwyer (the hero of Ninety-eight), John Mitchel.

Great Citizens of Other Nations. "In every field beneficent activity in the Church, the land politics, agriculture and commerce, Irish blood has been amongst the leaders of the Australian people. Their contribution to the unification of Australia, and the constitution and development of the Commonwealth has been surprisingly great in proportion to their numbers. They have been good Australians with. out ceasing to love the Motherland. Ireland has neither had the power nor the will to annex other countries by conquest. The Irish abroad are bound to us by no other ties save those of kindred, of a common history, and a common spiritual heritage. They are stronger ties than any military or political denomination could create. This spiritual unity is precious to us all. We rejoice that modern science has given us the means, particularly in the radio, to preserve it and to maintain and, develop our traditional culture. Pe?haps in this connection I may remind you that for us, in whatever country our lot may be cast. the Irish language, the literature of Ireland. whether in Irish or in English. and Irish music, have a special cultural v alue. I hope the time will .come when they will find a place in the curricula of the Universities of every eosintry where the men and women of our race form a considerable proportion of the population. I reland To-day. You will naturally expect me to say something about recent developments in Ireland and about the prospects ot our country as they appear to me. You probably know that an intensive campaign of industrial development has been in progress during the last few years. Several hundreds of new factories and workshops have been established as a result of the extension of the protective tariff. The older industries have greatly increased in production Tillage has been stimulated by Government measure and the home market, for most foreign products have been reserved in all or in part to our own producers The re-
Ireland Proud of Australia's Deeds
T
HE following is the first official text to appear in Western Australia of President de Valera's broadcast message on St. Patrick's night. For the benefit of those who were not listening-in, we give it below in full. The broadcast took place from Dublin. in conjunction with the 13.B.C.. and was plainly heard by Perth listeners.
sults of this policy are evident in the statistics of our imports. The expansion of the home production of in• dustrial and tillage products. which these statistics show us, has been a great factor in enabling the Irish Free State to meet the special difficulties which have been placed in the way of our export trade in live stock and live stock products since 1932. We are becoming less and less dependent on external markets for the sale of our own produce. and on external source, of supplies for commodities required for consumption at home. There have. been some notable advances in social legislation, of which the most import ant are the Housing Act of 1932. under which the rate of progress in solving the housing problem has been increased more than fourfold: new employ ment Assistance Tax in 1933, based on the principle that society owes at least maintenance to those of its people whom, for the time being it cannot provide with the means of securing a livelihood by their labour: and in the Act passed in 1935 to provide pensions for widows and orphans. "Of political developments I shall say that definite progress has been made in several respects towards the status which the people desire. With the utmost goodwill towards other na. tions. the Irish people are determined as a people to work for the unity and the independence of their country They believe that in the attainment of that goal lies their own welfare and the establishment of permanently friend. lc relations with their neighbours. "I mt t now conclude. I am very glad to have had the opportunity of addressing you. and I wish you individually. and your countr- every blessing and happiness" ARCHBISHOP MANNIX REPLIES BROADCAST TO IRELAND. In the early hours of Wednesday, March 18, His Grace Archbishop Man. nix broadcast a special message to the people of Ireland, which followed on. and was in part a response to, the message broadcast by President de VaA mes. lera on St. Patrick's night. sage has been received that the reception of the broadcast in Ireland was perfect. His Grace's address was part of the special St. Patrick's Day programme arranged by Dr. J. T. Kiernan. the National Director of Broadcasting in Ireland. This programme opened with ,a broadcast of High Mass from St. Patrick's College, Maynooth, and included a special programme to overseas countries. The Archbishop's broadcast was transmitted over the Beam telephone service to England, and from there on lines specially engaged to the Broadcasting Station, Dublin. The Archbishop's Address. His Grace said: "President de Valera's welcome message to Australia came through very clearly, and it warmed our hearts and raised our spirits. In brilliant . weather, we had just held our annual St. Patrick's Day celebration in Melbourne. For a full hour and a half, our procession marched amid cheering crowds through the principal streets of the city, and later. at our open-air meeting place, a massed choir of 8,000 boys and girls sang 'The Soldier's Song,' to remind us of the dead who died for Ireland and of the living who live to finish the task of those who are gone. "We were, therefore, in the mood to welcome the President's message when it came to the enthusiastic audience packed into the Melbourne Town Hall I wish he could have sensed, as I did. the joy and pride and exultation that swept through those thousands of Aus-
spoke to our Eucharistic Congress and Cardinal McRory came to us from Armagh, -May God give the President guidance and strength to finish his work for Ireland- The omens are propitious. England, we hope, is coming to realise that she needs friends, and that, if she w ishes to have a contended and a f riendly neighbour in Ireland, there is only one way to secure it. With greater mutual forebarance and a kindlier understanding among all good Irishmen at home, nothing can ultimately prevent, or even long delay, the coming of an Ireland free and undivided from sea to sea."

A Watch of Two Decades. "Though 12000 miles of ocean divide us from Ireland. we have for the past t wenty years watched, not without anxiety, the re-birth of an ancient nation. Ireland's age-long struggle for national independence, moving slowly, but inevitably, to its triumphal close. Of course, no anaesthetic will cons pletely deaden the pain and remove the effects of a big surgical operation It was, no doubt, inevitable that some should suffer, and suffer badly• while the whole economic life of the country was passing through a revolution The Long View. "We can sympathise with the Irish farmers and their dependents. But. we are glad to know that, as a whole, the Irish people, farmers and others, have taken the long view, the national and patriotic view. They have their reward in the fact that the standard ot living for the masses has been raised., that decent houses are being built for the people: that grazing ranches are beginning to he divided and to carry men instead of cattle, that Irish industries are providing work for Irish hands, and creating a market for Irish farm produce, Gradually. Ireland is ceasing to be an unfilled field, fit only to export men and cattle for the convenience and the economic benefit of other countries. I reland's Burning Faith. "Faithful children of St. Patrick. as we claim to be, we realise that 'not in bread alone doth man live.; that. 'if the Lord build not the house, 'tis in vain that the builders toil ' We are proud. therefore, to know that, amid all the changes that time has brought. the light of Ireland's faith burns as brightly as of old: that the missionary spirit of her people, the mark of vital religion, has been marvellously rekindled: and that the golden chain which binds Ireland to the See of Peter has not been weakened or corroded by time or by the rebellious spirit of the modern world Propitious Omens. "I have time for only a word or two more. For the Austfalian friends of Ireland. I thank the President for his message. We have had no comparable privilege since the Holy Father

Father McDermott, on behalf of the Club, pre sented Miss I3rosnan with a handsome ( lock, together with a tine collection of kitchen utensils. In the course of his speech. he eulogised the excellent work Kath. had done for the Club during her membership of six years, in which time she had always been an officebearer. He said how sorry they were to lose her, and there was no doubt that one who had done so much for the Club would be greatly missed. Both Miss Brosnan and Mr. Perry suitably responded. A dainty supper was then served, followed by dancing which was continued until a late hour. Congratulations to our vice-president, Miss J. Harford. who so ably performed her part in the recent musical play. "The Curse of Tor Conal." Miss Kath Leahy took part in the chorus.

To the Editor. Sir,—The letters, remarks, etc-. concerning the lives of Carmelites., considerably branch off the religious side of the question. Your editorial dealt in an explicit manner with the religious viewpoint. What a fine thing it is we have so few men who would endanger our British freedom by suggesting or dictating the manner in which anyone should use their lives. The slightest criticism of those who have entirely given,up their' li'ves taGod will be viewed with horror by everybody who loves the word liberty, Further, your correspondents appear to be ,-uffering from the "work complex" side of the matter, Do they generate pleasure when they see their fellowman slaving with "pick and shoyl-bathed in sweat, under a merciless sun !'or eight hours, etc., and would their pleasure increase if such hours were extended? Do they think that the e xtension of human effort is all that is necessary for the welfare of the world? We have had too much dependance on that. and too little on prayer, the most important influence of all, Their views on progress are gravely errnne ous.—Yours. etc. T. A. DUDLEY.

His Holiness the Pope and the Catholic Press
!, '4
THE WEAPON OF THE PRESS i-a,y Apostolate demands an intelligent love of religion on the part of the laity--women as well as men. It postulates an earnest devotion to truth, as truth; a passionate love for the Church and its doctrines; the spreading of Catholic literature, and a willingness to defend the dogmas of the Church against any and all ene.
Who can estimate the power for good in the printed word o f truth scattered broadcast throughout the land? Who can appraise the power for evil in the vile calumnies that enter the. homes of the Commonwealth, sometimes in the name of religion, through the medium of anti-Catholic literature? Who c an calculate the ruin effected by the despicable novel with its indecent suggestions. not to speak at all of all those things which S t Paul tells us should not be mentioned among decent people? When we realise how far the world has departed from the divine ideals of Catholic Christianity: when we carefully analyse the errors, heresies and falsehoods which have corrupted man's intelligence and heart, and weakened in him his faith in God and his faith in himself, we realise that the apostolate of evil has succeeded in A-inning to its work devotedness and zeal which oftentimes would put to shame the self-sacrifice of the advocates of rrtith. justice and morality.
LTR present Holy Father uiav be said to have surpassed all his predecessors in speaking of the Catholic Press. From the inauguration of his pontificate his great concern, his absorbing passion, has been for the Missions, and he has always recognised that in the Press lay his most effective means of propaganda. Hence came early exhortations to make wide use of the Press for reports of the activities of his own work of the Propagation of the Faith; hence came the establishment in 1920 of the Fides -Service, to supply the Catholic Press of the world with news of missionary activity. missionary difficulties, missionary need,. Om:e again the authoratative voice of the Father of Christendom is raised on behalf of the Catholic Press: "The power and influence of the Catholic Press are so great that even the apparently most insignificant ai:tivitv in favour of the good Press is always of great importance. because csreat results may come therefrom. Anything you do for the good Press. I shall consider a, having been done for me personally. The Catholic Press is vez- Y close to my heart, and I expect much, very much, from it."

But they who speak do not remember that in other times the poison of the had press was not spread everywhere. . . . We are no longer in those other times; we are in the times of to-day, and it is a fact that the Christian people is deceived, poisoned and destroyed by had newspapers." Support Your Own Catholic Weekly, The circulation of our -iwn Catholic weekly has reached a r ecord number. Never before has our circulation been so encouraging, but there is still scope for improvement, and during the coming months we appeal to every reader to take an interest in his or her own Catholic papem of the West. To stimulate interest and co-operation, there will appear several articles dealing with the Catholic Press. Those who help in this work will bring down upon themselves and their families the abundant blessings of Almighty God. "Neither the f aithful nor the clergy," says Pius X., "make use of the Press as. they should. Sometimes people say that the Press is an innovation, and that souls useti be saved without newspapers m former times. Thee do !sot laso in mind that in former times the poison of the bad Press was not spread everywhere, and that therefore the antidote was not so n ecessary. In vain will you build churches, give missions. found schools—all your works will he destroyed. all your efforts fruitless, if you are not able to wield the defensive and offensive weapon of a loyal and sincere Catholic Press." Surely stronger words are not necessary to urge us to take a personal interest in the fate of out own Catholic wechl,

Through the medium of the press the apbstles and missionaries of naturalism, atheism and immorality put forth their doctrines. with stubborn determination and Satanic malice in order to destroy the faith, corrupt the morals, lower the ideals, and annihilate the hopes of our fellow-men.

The Decline of Reverence Three Great Tennis Racquets Spaldihg..s -Goodwin" Alexander's "Cornet" Sla:encjer's " Club"
Formerly 27/6 each . . Now
The lack of reverence was deplored recently in an address by Rev. Father Eugene J. Callahan, of St. Gregorfs - Church, and assistant director of the New York Archdiocesan Union of the Holy Name Society. in an address delivered in the "Church of the Air Period" of the Columbia Broad. casting System, writes a NCWC correspondent from New York. Speaking on "Reverence," Father Callahan assailed the socalled "new candour," which "deems it 'smart' to sneer at our old reverences" and "hisses and hoots at and dubs our finer traditions 'old-fashioned,'" he says. Father Callahan cited modern periodicals as examples of how words and ideas and illustrations "that twenty years ago were tabooed are now freely sprawled— for your edification and your children's—upon the pages of magazines and books." He also ,corned the stage for its "orgy of glorifying the foul mouth." The candour of some plays." he added. "is so pronouncedly hold that the spectator could more profitably put in an evening at a police court or clinic."
vere the United States and its institutions and we are bound to obey and revere the laws of the land." "We are sick unto the point of nausea of the flippancies of this 'new candour'," he asserted. "What is needed is a return to reverence, a moral reawakening on the part of all our people, irrespective of creed. Give God His rightful place in the affairs of men; yes. give God reverence instead of ridicule in the classroom. The world has its surfeit of scoffers. \Vhat the world needs to-day, more than ever, is reverence."

THE SUFFERING CHRIST t -
N
EARL Y two thousand years have elapsed since the world witnessed the birth of of its "Jesus" and rejoiced at His seeming failure, when writhing in agony on a criminal's cross. He died on Calvary's noisy heights amidst the jeers and scorn of His own Chosen People. Those past two thousand years have witnessed stupendous changes in the mirds and hearts of men, but no greater and far reaching change has taken place than the change in men's opinion of that suffering, despised Figure on Calvary. No man has ever succeeded in conquering the nations of the earth as Christ of Nazareth, and no man ha= ever dreamed of using the weapons He used. It is to this suffering Christ that the Church calls her children during Passiontide. She bids them dwell with love on the

In this death of the Cross the t orture grew each instant more unendurable; the pierced hands and feet, the torn and mutilated body, the involuntary contraction of the muscles, the thirst, the delirium of fever—everything made the sufferer long for death.

Truly could He challenge the world to find a greater love: "Greater love than this no man hath, that a man lay down his life for his friend." The story of that Love must remain ever before our eyes, but during the next fortnight it must exclude all other thoughts, for to-morrow we begin a period of mourning and more thoughtful remembrance of Our Lord's bitThe ter sufferings and death. s very images in the churches ate veiled in purple in sign of mourning. Let us then enter with the w hole Church into the Passion of Christ. and above all let us see the love behind every act and word of Christ during His last few days on earth.

The Saviour pressed His lips to the sponge soaked with vinegar, then, with quickened powers. He gazed upon the world of men below.

Our best teacher on the Passion is the Crucifix, that image of a sufferins- God nailed to the Cross, and lifted up naked and bleeding between heaven and earth.

The local Education authority requires the exclusive control of the teachers in those schools accepting the grants, subject to a number of them being reserved by the Catholic managers to give religious teaching. Although Catholic authorities have been given to understand that all Catholic teachers would be reserved, it is not, however, contained in the Bill, and such assurances are not st.fficient to satisfy the ecConsequently the new Bill has been reclesiastical authorities. jected as a violation of Catholic teaching principles recognised since the settlement of thirty years ago. • • All of which goes to show how much we suffer here in AusThe English tralia compared with our English co-religonists.

During the course of Holy Week, the Church will celebrate The historical Ihe mysteries of Our Lord's Passion and Death. Week, to reHoly during narrative of the four Evangelists is read Christ which path dolorous the of details the vive in our minds trod for the salvation of the human race. For the most part, the story of the Passion is imprinted in Catholic minds and hearts frotn early infancy, hut what is the significance of the Death of Jesus Christ, what its necessity? It should be remembered that the answer to such a query involves the whole course of human history from the Fall of Adam to the end of time. The history of the Jews down to the time of the Incarnation derives its full and chiefest significance in that it looks forward to Christ. From the promise made to Adam after the first sin, the long succession of Jewish prophets adds each some line, some detail, to the portrait The history of man since the death of of the Messiah to come. with new ,hope from the merits inspired and Christ is regenerated of Calvary's Sacrifice. • • • of redemption from the promise Divine the of The fulfilment consequences of Adam's sin involved the offering of adequate satisfaction to the outraged majesty of God.

-United in the person of Jesus Christ were two came man. natures, one human and one divine. Hence ,as man, Christ could stand as representative of the human race—the second and greater Adam. Yet more, as God, His satisfaction was of infinite worth. Hence, by the Incarnation, the human race was placed within reach of that satisfaction which the infinite justice of God demanded and His infinite mercy made possible. Though the Incarnation was necessary if an adequate satisfaction was to be made for man's sin, yet the Man-God could have wrought the redemption of humanity apart from the sufferings and death which, in point of fact, He chose. It was, however, in the pre-ordained plan of God that Christ should bring salvation to the world through the bitterness of His Passion and His Cross. By this excess of charity, Christ gave to men an incomparable proof of His love. He plainly exposed, too, the heinousness of sin, and reversed the sentence of death which Adam had incurred Above all, Christ, by His Passion and Death, for his children. aimed to establish His kingdom in the hearts of men. "I, if I he lifted up, will draw all things to Myself." So the Church, though she mourns in the sorrows of her Lord, yet regards the Cross as She points to it as a symbol of unique the symbol of victory. hope—"in hoc signo vinces." As we contemplate the sufferings of the Saviour during Holy Week, not the least of our reflections should be those of heartfelt gratitude and thanksgiving to God, "Who so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son" for its redemption.

There is a passage in Jenelle's recently published work on "Robert Southwell, the Writer," which deserves very, serious attention, for it illuminates the whole position of the Church in England. Discussing the place held by the Jesuit missionaries in English society during the sixteenth century. he says: "First of all, there was an essential difference between Protestant, and especially Puritan propaganda on the one hand and Catholic propaganda on the The former was largely other. at work among the lower middle classes and the common people; it owed the success of its appeal to popular instincts and passions. The lhtter, on the contrary, was not conducted in holes and corners and backshops. The Jesuit missioncr reside(i, as a rule, in the house of SOIlif member of the nobility or gentry, whose town or country seat was converted into a religious centre for the family and its dependents. . . . "In other words the Jesuits worked in England as well as in other countries, not from below, but from above. They attempt(d to make use of the influence of families of a high social rank; nor were they, in so doing. un• true to a more particularly English tradition. Ever since the time of the breach with Rome, the English Catholics had staked the retrieval of their fortunes upon a change in the crown, or the action of the great; they shared in the king-worship of the sixteenth century; the compelling power of popular pressure they seem to have ignored. . . .

WORKING POPU LATION.
"They moved about in the world of fortune and fashion." There is no suggestion, of course, that this was due to snobbishness. It was a question of tactics. Nevertheless, as things turned out, it was unfortunate. A False Impression. The royal power on which these propagandists banked, mvs near the end of its days. Even the aristocracy was to lose its dominant influence. Puritanism, W hig politics, Reform Bills, Chartist riots and the emergence of Socialism showed how the tide was flowing. So far as the substantial middle-class and the proletariat were concerned, the Oxford Movement did not much end matters. To this day we are feeling the effects of the policy pursued in the sixteenth and earlier centuries.
Middle-Class Tradition. But the religious tradition of the middle-class, and of the proletariat, in so far as it exists, is what might be called "Bible religion.It derives rather from the Nonconformist chapel than from the parish church and its influence has been great on the Labour Party, many of whose leaders graduated as speakers by officiating as lay .preachers in Methodist conventicles. To say this is to indicate to what a considerable section of the population these remarks apply. The obsession with Anglo-Catholicsm, exemplified by some Catholics, is, from this point of view ,to perpetuate the tradition to which we owe the alienation of a large class of Englishmen.

M Y CORNERITES,— It seems to me you are all labour. ing under some apprehension as to being allowed to write to me during If you do Lent—the idea of you! not write en masse and give practical proof that you are grieved the .Corner is mortgaged, how can I persevere in k eeping my chin from sinking into my chest, when the Wet Blanket keeps on prophesying that Tiddles and I will be without a journalistic roof over our heads when Easter Monday comes? Your silence, far from being golden, is most distressingly leaden, and is weighing on me very heavily. Very few of you seem to realise the dread import of my being obliged to hand over £33 9s Old to Messrs. Cohen and Splotvoski by Easter Monday. yet that is how my finances are at the moment. and with only £6 4s 7d to lessen my indebtedness to the Gentlemen of the Three Balls- it is rather difficult for me to keep smiling and hopeful. There is no ban against me receiving letters or offerings in Lent, and since most people find letter writing a penance, may I recommend some of you to put this most salutary penance upon yourselves, and to add another Lenten recommendation—that of the giving of alms—so that 'on may not let these weeks slip by without having done something extra for the glory of God, the good of souls, and the solidification of your poor aunty's pcsition All that I had at the end of 1935 is no longer "ours," and if you earnestly perused the list of payments made by Rev. Dr. McMahon, whish was appended to his letter of thanks last week. and which only covers one section of expenditure. I am sure you will be earnest in your resolve to keep on letting the "Busbies' Scheme" be your chosen work of charity for 1936. Soon after His Grace the Archbishop returned last year, and through his benign interest in the Schemes I received a letter of approbation on our work from Cardinal Salotti. the Secretary of the Congregation of the Proprogation of the Faith. in which he warmly praised all that you are doing for the cause of religion here in the West, hut I refrained from telling you. feeling that it would better crown the praise and thanks of our Bushies' Founder. though I know you do not make your sacrifices or give your offerings with any thought of earthly recorrrpense or laudatory congratula Now, in starting off early for this year. I am not going beyond the bewinds. as You might he inclined to think, but, as the old lady in Kildare said, "I know me own know, and if I tried to explain it to von (Heil a bit the wiser you'd be" Therefore, do your particular best to lift the Mortgage during the few weeks that remain. and if, oh if! you are so wet-blanketish as to remain cold and unmoved where that is concerned. may I plead for a warm interest in the raffle of Sandy McDoto A UNT BESSY.

If you were here alongside me it wouldn't be so bad, but the world is a hard matter to face on one's own. I s'pOse you couldn't stretch a point and press your nose alongside the window pane some day next week- as it would give me courage to remain in this position. Nuns are the most trying of all. They pretend to be pausing in front of the window to study the books around me. and all the time they, are passing remarks about me to each other.

I was that grateful to the young one I could have given her a holy picture out of Pellegrini's hut the staff is cute enough to keep the pictures under their own jurisdic tion. Then the elderly one started to giggle just like a young girl, and said to her companion.

She blew her own horn that much that I was dying to blow some powdered vanishing cream out of my bagpipes so as to make her shift on, but my bagpipes are particular about who they blow for, so I didn't chance them refusing to work. Then there was Andrew McTavish— the cousin-in-law of the Patersons in He strolled along on South Perth. Wednesday with Mr. Berry. and both began criticising my whole get-up.

Dear Nieces„—You are a must lade-. like quartette this week, seeing there isn't a nephew among you, and hope indeed, you are all little ladies, and the pride and toy of your home eireles, for each of you is at au age when everyone will expect to find you growing up holy and good and refined—three traits which go inure towards the making of a real lady than grand frocks and . good looks and wealth—the troth of which you will find out tor yourselves when you begin to appreciate the value of ah things in life. - It is sometimes said that a gentleman is someone who never offends anyone knowingly .and d'eliberately ,and whenever I hear that I wonder to myself what the definition of 'a lady- is. and then when I begin to wonder ,my thoughts go towards Our Blessed Lady, and there is the perfect definition for us all. If every little Catholic girl modelled her words and actions on those of Our Blessed Lady. she would naturally grow into as perfect a lady as any who ever graced this world, and, after all, sometimes I think it is easier to think about imitating Our Blessed Lady than about imitating some of the saints, for most of them were so very out of the ordinary in their daily lives, that the mere thought of trying to be like them is discouraging. With Our Lady it is different. Although she was sinless and perfect from the time of her Conception, she lived a very ordinary kind of life from the time she came into this world. One can always picture her, first in just such a home as, please God, ours is— that is a holy home. where God is constantly honoured, and where. all His laws are kept. Then in the Temple. where she passed her days being obedient, and doing very simple arid girlish and later on in her own little humble home where with Jesus and St. .Ioseph, she worked and rested and prayed So, dear chi!dren I hope Our Bless. ed Lady has be -,-.me the Model for you all.

Christ HEN Our Lord came into the world we have seen, aftcr our study of the servitude of the Jewish race, that the atmosphere of Judea was thick with the expectation of the coming Saviour. This people had had a long, varied and strange history. Two thousand years before it had sprung from a Chaldean called Abraham; at least t welve hundred years before it had been rescued from exile in Egypt by its great Prophet, Moses. After this time it had occupied and settled in Palestine and a thousand years or more before a kingdom had been founded in the Royal House of David and his son Solomon. Then, in 932 B.C., occurred the separation of the Jews into two kingdoms. the kingdom of Israel in the north Cyrus to return to their ancient and the kingdom of Juda in the land, and front them the nation South, and these in their turn had of the Jews again began to reProphets came back to succumbed to invasion from the vive.

During these centuries of political success and failure, destruction and revival, the one untiring and life-giving force was the unswerving belief, first in the one God, second in the Messiah that was to come- from themselves. He was to be of the House of David the King; He was to he born in the City of David, Bethlehem ; He was to inherit the Kingdom of David; He was to be the Lord, in some way of all the world. But though this conviction never died, it was not always preserved in its simplicity. and though this belief was the source of union, national unity was preserved by the fulfilment of the law of Moses. Thus it came about that. first. the promised Messiah beg-an to be looked upon as a material King who would one day lead the armies of Juda to the conquest of the world : on the other hand the law of Moses became more important than the spirit of the Messiah which underlay it. Hence, there arose among the Jews certain sects and divisions which were prominent in the lifetime of Christ and which, therefore, need to he distinguished one from another.
were nut, it was a sign that the man wa no true son of Abraham. Next we hear of the Scribes These, for the most part, were also Pharisees. Their official position was to interpret the law of Moses. and under this pretext they became as it were the spiriual directors of the nation, telling the people what they might do, and what they might not do, not so much with regard to the Commandments as with regard to the fulfilment of the law. There were also the Sadducees, of whom, for instance, the High Priest Annas was one. This sect was the opposite to the Pharisees. and might almost be called their enemy. Many of the priests and a great number of the Jewish aristocracy belonged tr, it. They were far more pliant to the rule of the foreigner : t hey were inclined to believe in nothing; they interpreted the law according to the letter, and would 0 no further; they had no belief in another world: altogether one might consider them the agnostics of their generation. Fourthly. there were the Herodians. of whom we hear most in Galilee. These, as far as we can see, were nothing more than the political partisans of the House of Herod. Among all these different sects we must always remember that the corning of the Messiah was a fervent belief. Howover variously they interpreted it. nevertheless they did not deny it, and it is to he noticed in the life of Christ that it is not so much the ract of His claim to which they object. as to the fact that His claim implied a different Messiah from the one they had expected.

Public Opinion and the League of Nations PEACE IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PEOPLE (By Christopher Dawson.)
CHRISTOPHER DAWSON'.
This article, which appeared in the "Catholic Times," is by one of the most brilliant and profound of living Catholic writers in England. The grave words which the Pope addressed to the Cardinals on Christmas Eve must have brought home to every Catholic the dangers of the situation in which Europe stands to-day. For the Pope speaks from a point above and beyond the turmoil of political controversy. He is the spokesman of eternity. From his lofty watch tower above the tombs of the Apostles, the successor of Peter has looked out for centuries on the ebb and flow of human affairs. He has seen the birth and death of kingdoms. He has seen the rise and fall of Holy Empires and Holy Alliances and wars and revolt.tions without number. But today he sees a new thing, such as Europe has never seen before—. the World in league against the City and Italy an outlaw among nations. No Catholic and no good European can regard this situation with equanimity, since it invokes a most tragic dilemma. The failure of the League means the breakdown of international rivalry, while the success of the League can only be won by the defeat of Italy, which, in itself, is a grave danger to European peace. Is There a Way Out? Is it possible to find a way out of this dilemma? The HoareLaval proposals were an attempt to do so, but these proposals are dead and bt.,ried and the pacifists of the League of Nations Union are dancing a triumphant wardance on their tomb. It is difficult to believe that the Italian or any other Government would he so mad as to seek a way out of war, but, as the Pope has pointed out, the outlook has become much darker since the failure of
M. Laval's attempted mediation and a chance spark might set Europe ablaze before public opinion could realise the danger. Nevertheless, the ultimate responsibility rests with public opinion, for at least in this. country and in this instance it has been public opinion that has led and the Government has had to follow. Even to-day I have little doubt that if matters were left in the hands of the Foreign Office a way out would still be found, but the Foreign Office must obey the Cabinet, and the Cabinet must take account of the House of Commons, and the House of Commons must obey public opinion—the opinion of the parties and the press, the opinion of the influential and the rich, but also, in the last resort, the opinion of you and me.
than they believe, but in order to do that we must first learn that we are also less right and they are less wrong than we think. This is the only path to international peace, but it is not an easy path for democracy to follow even in countries where opinion is still free, for as soon as the public sees that there are two sides to a question it is apt to lose interest in the matter; and the more strongly it feels, the more simply it thinks. Hence, in judging the present conflict, it is necessary to go behind the ques tion of Abyssinia and consider the question that underlies them both—the moral authority of the League of Nations. It is essential to remember that this is still a controversial question and that world opinion is
The Management offers its sincere thanks to those Priests who, by their co-operation, are doing so much to introduce our Catholic Weekly into the Catholic homes of the West. In most parishes the sales have been increasing each week, with the result that the circulation figures have reached the highest figure yet. This no doubt is due in great part to the courtesy of the Priests in reading the Pulpit Notice and bringing "The Record" to the minds of the people.

tional order. But, on the other hand, it is far from being all that it claims. It is not a League of Nations, but a League of States. It is not a universal league, but a partial one. And, finally, it is not, and cannot be, a superState owing to the very nature of its constitution. There is no possible parity between great world empires like the British Empire and the U.S.S.R. and miniature States like Esthonia and Lithuania, whose combined p opulation is less than that of Berlin. And so long as this disparity exists it is impossible to give the Assembly that authority which the theory of the. League seems to demand.
