THE MYSTERIOUS KINGDOM OF PRESTER JOHN The Ethiopian Schism Bears Witness to the Truth •

Catholics a Small Minority in Schismatic Territory

BYSSINIA, the mysterious Ethiopian Kingdom of Prester John, is of unique interest for its past history, and for the promise of its future place in the development of Africa. The Portuguese believed that this mythical priest King was African, and thought they had found him in Abyssinia. The name Prester John according to the best authorities, was due to a tnisrendering by European travellers of the usual salutation of the Abyssinians to the Negus or Emperor. The name would, therefore, be common to all its Emperors—just as the words Pharoah or Kaiser were applied. The Switzerland of Africa.

Political History. The- ruler of Ethiopia is the the Negus, of i.e., King K ings of Ethiopia. He claims a , iescent front King Solomon by the Queen of Sheba, but in fact t he so-called Solomonic line was hroken for a period of a hundred a hundred and fifty years until ckuna Amlak restored the line Iii or about 1270 and assumed the t itle of "King of Kings"; it was again broken in 1855, when the King of Amhara overcame his rivals and made himself King of Ethiopia. He was the famous Theodore II, who reigned from 1855 to 1868, when he committed suicide after the capture of his fortress of Magdala• by Lord Na The pier's expeditionary force. present Negus, Haile Selassie I., formerly the regent Ras Tafari, was crowned with impressive ceremonies in November, 1929. It was on this occasion that a Papal deputation was sent to Abyssinia with Archbishop (now Caridnal) ..Marchetti-Selvaggiani at its head. Catholic Beliefs. Abyssinian Christianity, thoroughly schismatical as it is, professes, not Lutheran teaching, but the belief of the Catholic Church; its very schism bears witness to the truth against the innovators of the sixteenth cenThough separated from tury. the Centre for well-nigh a millenium and a half, the Abyssinian providentally Christians have kept the deposit of the Faith, and the rites of primitive ChristianTen centuries before Proity. testantism they were cut off and

The country which is the home of the Ethiopic Churches corresponds to the modern Abyssinia, the Switzerland of Africa— a great tableland with a mean elevation of seven thousand feet, lying to the South-East of Egypt and the Sudan. But the boundaries of the Ethiopian Empire have varied throughout the centuries, and in the past the Empire embraced a int.ch larger area than the modern Abyssinia. The term Ethiopian means the people with the "burnt faces," and is preferable as a name to Abyssinian, which in origin was a term of reproach, meaning a hybrid or mixed race. The typical Ethopian is of a very dark, almost black, complexion, and has crisp black hair, prominent teeth, a broad flat nose, thick and protruding lips, and a scanty beard. The present populaticn is between five and six m illion, mixed in both race and religion, though the nucleus is Ethiopic and Christian.

Church Government.

The Monasteries.

The head of the Ethiopic Church is the Metropolitan of Aksum, ordinarily known as "Abuna," "Our Father." He is always a Coptic monk, chosen from the community of St. Anthony's Monastery, near the Gulf of Suez, and consecrated by the Coptic For Patriarch of Alexandria. practical purposes he alone is the source of order and consecration in the Church, since he alone may consecrate bishops, ordain priests, anoint the Negus at his coronation, dispense from vows, and exordinary jurisdiction. ercise Until recently he had no suffragans, but in 1929, as a result of negotiations Lndertaken by the Ras Tafari, five Ethiopians were consecrated bishops. They are not ordinaries in the accepted sense, but auxiliary bishops who live with the Metropolitan and carry out his orders. One very unsatisfactory aspect of 'the pre-

The secunda dignitas of the Ethiopic Church is the echage, the head of all the monks of . the great order of Dabra Libanos, who lives at Gondar. As he is a native of the country and speaks the Amharic language, he tends at times to have greater influence at Court than Abuna himself. The other great religious order is that of .Ewostatewos, which has no superior general. The monasteries are called by the name of Daber (mountain) from the fact that they generally stand on high groLnd.. At the head of every monastery is a komos or abbot. Such learning as there is in the Church of Ethiopic is found in the monasteries and, as elsewhere in the East, the monks are the aristocracy of the Ethiopic clergy. The secular clergy is not a distinguished body. There is no arrangement for their train-

Ethiopia is divided into four Catholic Ecclesiastical territoritt, only two f which are strictly confined to the Political boundaries of Abyssinia. These are:1. Vicariate of Calla (Mons. Jarosseaul. 10,000 Catholics. 2. Vicariate of Kaffa. 4,000 Catholics. 3. Vicariate of Eritrea (Italian Capuchims). 4. Prefecture of Djibouti (French Lazarists), French Somaliland.

ing and they are ordained in batches without examinations or c ertificates of fitness. They are usually married and, like most Orientals, cannot remarry or marry after ordination. There are two divisions among them, lay clerks, who are in charge of liturgical music and who teach in the schools, and the ecclesiastical clerks, who are in sacred orders. The Seven Sacraments. Whatever negligences have crept into practice regarding the Sacraments, the doctrine is the same to-day among this people so long isolated as it was in the days of their apostle St. Frumentius. They believe that baptism washes away original sin and opens the wav to heaven. They believe that by consecration the bread and wine are changed into the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. They believe that the priest is ordained and consecrated for his sacred office, and receives power to forgive sins. Though they think that it is above their own strength to observe the bond of m arriage unbroken, they consider that those who consecrate the tie by sacramental communion have contracted a union that may never he dissolved. The ritLal of the Ethiopian Church contains the rites and ceremonies of the seven Sacraments, in use in all the Christian churches. Then again the devotion of the Abyssinians to the Blessed Virgin and t o the saints is wonderful. All these forms and traces of Catholic faith show that the Church of Ethiopia hears evidence of the rock from which in days far away ct- was cruelly torn. ( Further References on Page 24.)

CATHOLICS AND MARRIAGE EXTRACTS FROM REV DR.

The Catholic Church is described in I Tim., IV., 1-3, In the latter times some shall depart from the faith—teaching doctrines of devils—speaking lies in hypocrisy—forbidding to marry —commanding to abstain from Where is her infallibilmeats. ity? . I am afraid this is a case of mistaken identity. The Catholic Church is not involved in this All through the description. ages men have departed from the faith in departing from the Catholic Church. Thus in the 16th century the Protestants departed from the original faith, and have been departing from each other ever since, going further and further into conflicting heresies. The Catholic Church does not teach doctrines of devils. No Church warns her children so earnestly against the devil as the Catholic She clearly teaches Church. that lies are never justified. The references to marriage and the eating of meats you simply do not understand. St.1- Paul warns the early Christiati against those who would say that marriage of itself is evil, as also the eating of meat. But the Catholic Church She does not forbid marriage. certainly says to her young men: " You may marry, or. if von feel that von are called to such a life. But you may become a priest. may you priest, a become You if not marry." That is a very different thing. Meantime, the fact that she forbids meat. especially on Fridays. shows that she permit; it on other days. Christ did not institute marriage. It existed long before His advent to this world. Frior to Christ it existed as a matrimonial contract, but Christ elevated it to the dignity- of a Sacrament of the New Law. Christ. therefore, instituted mat rimony as a Sacrament. He blessed marriage by His presence at Cana, and declared its indissolubility when He said. "What God has joined. let not man put a sunder.". Henceforth, what was formerly a union by human contract was to be regarded by Christians as -sealed by God in a new and special way. How can marriage be a Sacrament? . acrament is a visible rite in stunted by Christ for the signify ing and giving of grace. Marriage is a visible rite, witnessed by men. It has been elevated by Christ to sacramental dig,nit\ It signifies something very sacred. the union of Christ with HiChurch. as St. Paul tells us. Eph There is but on, V.. 22-23. Christ and one title Church. So there is no divorce between one husLand and one wife in each case. As there is ni) divorce betsvcen Christ and His Church, so there can be no divorce between And as the husband and wife. union between Christ and the ( lure!' results in the production of ,..zrace. so this sacred union in marriage conveys grace to the contracting parties that they ma' rightly fulfil their duties to each other, and to their children. fns the lewe of God.

Marriage is a legal status not subject to any law spiritual. If no law spiritual governs marriage, why, did Christ say, "But I say unto you that whosoever shall put away his %vile and marry another committeth adultery?" Christ was nut the civil r uler, and He had said explicitly, "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's." If marriage b elongs solely to civil authority, Christ would have left it to civil authority. And why did St. Paul says, "Marriage is a great Sacrament, but I speak in Christ and in the Church?" He did not say, "But I speak from the viewpoint of civil authority." Again, elsewhere he writes. "Let her marry to whom she will, only let it he in the Lord." (I Cor. VI.. 39.) A ccording to your doctrine polygamy would be wrong. But the Bible permitted it. Christ clearly tells us that, w hatever concessions were made in the Old Law, it was God's intention from the very begnning that a man should cleave to his wife, not to his wives, and that they should be two in one flesh. God has made concessions because of the hardness of men's hearts in the less perfect Law,

but those concessions were withdrawn in the more perfect Law. Christ restored the primitive law, and said, "Henceforth what God hath joined together, let not man put asunder: • (Mk.. X., 2-9.) The civil law admits divorce and re-marriage. Civil law and divine law are not always in harmony. Politicians at times exceed their powers and make laws which are contrary to those of God. Thus they have legislated concerning matrimony with no reference to the will of Christ who raised the marriage contract to the dignity of a Sacrament. Are there not many cases in history where the Pope has granted a divorce and permission to re-marry for various reasons? You would find it very difficult Many to prove one such case. decrees of nullity have been issued. but they are not divorces. Yet even supposing that yon could prove that some individual Pope had granted such a divorce. that would be no argument against the doctrine of the Catholic Church. It would but prove that such an _individual Pope acted against his conscience and against the teaching of the

Did not the Pope give Napoleon a divorce? No. Napoleon married Josephine in 1796, a marriage validated by a dispensation from the Pope. From that marriage Napoleon never secured any divorce by lawful ecclesiastical authority. He f orced a declaration of nullity from some unauthorised clerics, and they put him through a second marriage ceremony in 1810, but this attempted re-marriage was a mockery. The whole thing was a violation of the laws of the Church, and the Church has never acknowledged the second m arriage as valid at all. Marconi secured a divorce and was re-married in the Catholic Church. Marconi secured a decree of civil divorce from the. state, but from the Catholic Church he secured a decree of nullity. The civil divorce broke no real bond of marriage, but merely released the parties from any further civil obligations. The Church declared that the form of marriage Marconi went through with Miss Beatrice O'Brien on March 16, 1905, was null and void, and that both were really single people mistakenly believing themselves to be married. Nullty was proved by sworn evidence given by Marconi. Beatrice O'Brien, a Protestant. and many witnesses. The defect in the fir.st marriage was not that it took place in the Anglican Church. but that neither party consented to a marriage until death in the Chrstian sense of the word. They attempted to contract marriage until they 5honld grow tired of each other, both lacking the knowledge that such a temporary contract IF riot a valid Christian marriage. Were they living in adultery, and were their children illegitimate?

To Men with Shoe Trouble.. (and those who don't want it!)

(By a Visitor.) Y esterday I was beguiled intu leav ing the confines of my garden—a thing I loathe doing on a Sunday —to go to the Swimming Carnival at St. Lesmurdie. The College, wiirtming pool is situated at the back o f the College; nearly, through scme acres of grass land, a pleasant stream meanders, at this -_ime oi the year. somewhat slothfully. With a little care and vision, this spot could be transformed into a veritable Az cadia Reaching the pool. I xas greeted by groups of girls of all ages. from the tiniest tots to young ladies wen in their teens. Those narticipating in. the earlier events were wearing dress. ing gowns and ba'dati,.; caps of the gayest colours. I overheard many animated discussions on the prospects of the various housns - the partisan spirit was well in evidence.. I think the organisers had no small problem in getting the first event; go. ing, so full of vim were the children: t he small girls were intent on giving final instructions to the older corn petitors of their houses. The first events were fcr the babies of the school. In this section what was lacking in speed was more than nade up for in splash and energy. These tiny mites churned up the water like the paddle of s me steamer. aff ording eonsiderare amusement to the many onlookers. To me, the most interesting events were the team items and the school championship. .1foy Johnson won the coveted title of College Champion: Marjorie Davies being a close second. Kalamunda House, captained by Marjorie Thorogood, was successful in the t wo team events. Before recording the results. I must add a word of genuine admiration for t he fine sporting spirit displayed by the contestants. The losers were splendid. It was just exhilarating to see those girls-- the losers—getting nut of the water. smiling and shaking hands with the winners This is a feat which so many adults fail to achieve. How refreshing to see those high-spirited convent girls a^complish it. not only with gratefulness. but with unfeigned cordiality. The Sisters of the School deserve warm praise for havin- had the emir. age to put down such a very fine s wimming po.1 during the Years ,)f de. oression.

THE HOUND OF HEAVEN

I stand amid the du,t o' the mounded years— My mangled youth lies dead beneath the heap. My days have cracked and gone up in smoke, Have puffed and burst as sun-starts on a stream. The Revelation. Even his most peculiar and intl.mate possession, the dream faculty, the creative joy of the poet, is failing him, while the only vision he is still afforded is the sombre apocalypse of death. But the darkest hour is just before the dawn. The hunt has ceased. the Pursuer overtakes the quarry, And now the voice of God consoles and fortifies:

MasterlyAppreciation of Thompson's Magnificent Ode;

HE following masterly appreciation of Francis Thomp sun s magnificent ode, "probably the most gorgeous in our language," is from a recent broadcast lecture by Mr. J. H. Letters, LL.B., over Station 2SM. Francis Thompson was an astonishing figure in English He was certainly the greatest poet at the literature. close of the 19th. century, and the greatest Catholic poet As England is a Protestant counsince the Reformation. try, where the Catholic Church has only recently begun to recover its influence, there have been few definitely Catholic poets if importance since the days of Shakespeare. Crawshaw, Coventry Patmore and Alice NIeynell practically exhaust the list until we come to Thompson, and probably none of these attains the rank of a major poet. But with the advent of the fourth was revealed a singer whose genius elects him to the company of Keats and Shelley, Before endeavouring to justify this estimate by a consideration of his verse and especially of "The Hound of Hes,• ven," I think it well to give a short summary of his life. It will not prove ing it out was new, not only to Proan eventful story, for though in one testant England, but in a large meaway a tragedy, it is in no sense a sure to Catholic poetry itself.

All which thy child's mistake Fancies as lost I have stored for thee at home. Rise, clasp my hand, and come. Surrender to the Divine love, far from abolishing the lesser loves, serves but to heighten and deepen them, as the closing lines proclaim: All, fondest, blindest, weakest, I am He Who thou seekest! Thou dravest love from thee who drayest Me. FRANCIS THOMPSON. But whether he seeks covert in tears or in laughter, in the maze of his own mind, or in the beauty of dawn or sunset, the love of Christ is still upon his track, He cannot find sure refuge in the hearts of friends, the laughter of children, or among the furthest stars. Nature's language is silence and, therefore. a tongue that he cannot understand She cannot respond to. far less assuage, his deepest longings, and yield him peace, The -t-oice of the divine Pursuer reiterates in his ears: Lot

nought contents thee who contents not Me, and his own gathering despair verifies the utterance of God. The dark night of the soul, so familiar to Catholic mystics, is within him—that sense of dereliction, that realisation that all hope has failed him—and he stands amid the ruins of his own life:

Such is a very adequate summary of the great ode, one of the best sustained, and probably the most gorgeous in our language. But as Francis Thompson could ex. press the same passion and the same truth in simple as well as in elaborate diction, in brief lyrics as well as in torrential odes, the best summary of the "Hound of Heaven" and the poet's philosophy is, after all, one of the latest of his poems, "In No Strange Land": O world invisible, we view thee. O world intangible- we touch thee, O world unknowable, we know thee, Inapprehensible, we clutch thee! Does the fish soar to find the ocean, The eagle plunge to find the air— That we ask of the stars in motion If they have rumour of thee there!

EILEEN JOYCE'S TRIUMPH ENTHUSIASTIC RECEPTION FIRST PUBLIC RECITAL Tuesday night witnessed the realisation of the hopes and expectancy of many music lovers of the city when Miss Eileen Joyce gave her first public recital in His Majesty's Theatre before a packed house. The occasion was honoured by the presence of His Grace the Archbishop and His Lordship the Bishop of Geraldtun, as well as all the notable figures in life the of the city. One fancied, too, that the joy of the occasion was shared in very large measure by the artist herself, who responded with charming simplicity and grace to the tumultuous acclamation with which she was received. Nothing more simple in manner, yet more attractive and forceful in persond,lity, can be imagined than this frail girl with the Avistful eyes, splendid forehead and fine mouth and chin. Yet it seldom occurs to the concert-goer what isolation, difficulty and hard work have contributed to the success of the finished artist whose poise and mastery compels their attention from the stage. Miss Eileen Joyce chose for her first concert in Perth on Tuesday night a picture frock of white The long very full organza. skirt was finished around the foot with a wide flat tuck with a narrow tuck above it, and the bodice wa, fashioned with a quaint basque of two full frills. The short sleeves were also composed of two full frills and the same finishing note was again introduced around the neck.

and there with impassioned appeal and yearning. In the Liszt's selections Miss Joyce was the incomparable executrix in interpretations of culture and fluency where lurked obvious temptations to flashy pyrotechnics. The difficult process of conveying the fanciful themes of the compositions with the weltel- of bravura imposed by the composer was superbly achieved. It is not difficult to realise bow Miss Joyce's records of Liszt are such as to compel the attention of the critics. For polish, velocity and clarity in the most intricate passages it was a sheer triumph. Two final numbers were Scott's "Lotus Land." artificially Eastern, and Friedman's "Viennese Dances." lilting and vigorous. Encores included the Schumann's transcription of Strauss's Serenade, a Brahms' Intermezzo, and a delightful 18th. century Gavotte by Boyce.

NfTSS EILEEN JOYCE was presented with a membership badge by the Loreto Past Pupils' Association at a dinner party on Friday night. She is here seen wearing her badge on Sunday after Mass.

R ECEPTION AT ADELPHI. A fter the recital there was a reception at the Adelphi Hotel, at which Miss Joyce and her parents were guests of honour. The Premier, in congratulating the pianist, claimed friendship %vitt/ her from the time she was a very little girl. He was proud that she had justified the promise of her youth, and was the first W estern Australian celebrity artist to tour the Commonwealth. He also proudly alluded to the fact that Eileen Joyce had come from Boulder, his own constituency, and that he had been a member oi the committee responsible for sending her away. He happily suggested that Australia. or at least its young men, would make a very decided endeavour to keep ",tir little girl" here. The Lord Mayor expressed sorrow because he could not claim either earlier acquaintanceship or any definite association with Miss Joyce's career, but he was proud of her success, and predicted similar ovations to the one she had received that night in each of the capital cities. Mr. Basil Kirke, Manager 6WF.. who introduced the speakers, said that some of the original committee associated with Miss Joyce's earlier career were there that evening —the Premier, Rev. Dr. McMahon, and Mr. Hamilton Brown and Professor Ross. He was glad to know that Eileen had fulfilled the highest expectations of all. Miss Joyce and her parents w ere then introduced to all present. and thanked the people for their erithusiaser at her achievement.

The stage setting was of unrelieved black, and during the items a dome floodlight beat upon t he pianiste and her instrument. The programme opened with a flitch bracket—Liszt's arrangements of the organ prelude in A Minor and a lovely cantabile Uhorale, "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring." Nothing of the complex harmonies or majestic strength of t he prelude was lost or blurred. So facile and unruffled was the t echnique that one was lulled into the illusion that little or no exacting demand was being made in this regard. After a brief interval. Miss Joyce commenced upon the major work of the evening. Haydn's famous E Flat Sonata, which revealed above anything else the aesthetic gamut and technical brilliancy of the artist.

THE RECORD

The Mexican Truce

The brief cable which appeared in the Press during the week announcing tersely that the Catholic churches of Mexico were to be rtopened, was probably the first intimation to many nonCatholics that anything unusual was afoot in Mexico, especially anything so unusual as a religious persecution. Yet, during the past century of the Republican regime, the Church has been the object of intermittent victimisation which has grown more and more violent since the promulgation of the new Constitution of 1917. The period of persecution reached its climax under the bloody dictatorship of Plutarco Calles, when Mexican Catholicism gave many martyrs to the Church. His ruthless yet futile rule covered a space of five years, during which time Governmental attacks upon the Church became so barbarous and savage that the American Secretary of State, Mr. Kellogg, had to warn Galles in the teeth of both American oil magnates and American Masons. It was not always so in Mexico. Four hundred years ago the Spanish missionaries had begun to make their cultural influence telt above the devastating effects of commercial greed and militarist opportunism. A fine educational system, for which Franciscans and Jesuits were jointly responsible, had been set up. All, however, was jettisoned with the advent of Republicanism, and the cot.ntry became the prey of a series of political bandits. Assassination, corruption, and terror were the steps on which a man Carranza, the first President, was might ascend to supremacy. cowardly done to death because he proposed amendments to the Constitution permitting religious liberty. He was succeeded by General Obregon, whose career of perfidy and brutality, though sustained by the United States, was fittingly closed in 1928, by a barrage of lead from his personal friends. But the supreme agony was yet at hand. For, in the December of 1924 Calles had become President of Mexico. Canes began his onslaught in the June of 1926, when the clergy were forced to cease services in the churches. Revolt broke out and spread rapidly. Yet Calles was not deterred from his dastardly purpose ,and in the November of 1927, Father Miguel Pro. S.J., and three others. Were shot without trial. This was Canes' irreparable mistake. So far from driving what remained ,f Mexican culture back to its early Azttic type, it propelled it headlong into the bosom of the Church. The blood of the martyrs became the abundant seed of Christians. But during this deluge of blood there was no word, but one, of protest or intervention from Mexico's financial masters—the U.S.A. Government. Despite the reiterated vigorous protests of the Hierarchy and the Knights of Columbus. America's political leaders maintained an obdurate silence, which appeared the more criminal for her promptitude in protecting her commercial interests in Mexico, and the more significant for the overwhelming Masonic majority in ongress. • • With the retirement of Calles, and the election of Portes Gil as Provisional President in 1929. there seemed a hope of ending Loth the injustice to religion and the social chaos. In June of the *,ame year. agreement was reached between the Bishops and the Government, whereby the clergy were permitted to return and the -hurches reopened. It was a short-lived prospect. for in 1930 the persecttion was renewed and has continued to our own day, not with the ferocity of the Calks' period, but none the less with such ttipid restrictive measures as to effectively paralyse Catholic activity. Clerical dress, for instance, is forbidden, and clergymen over a certain age must marry. The Mexican Hierarchy has not ceased all this time, by protests and petitions of unfailing patience and forebearance. to attempt to secure for Ca:,holics elementary jus'ice and humane treatment. Since Cardenas became President in 1934. there have been indications that Mexico is by no means at ,2ase over the international aspects of its persecution of religion. Fatly in this current Year President Lazaro Cardenas had the colossal front to deny the existence of religious persecution. He was promptly and categorically answered by the Mexican Bishops, towards whose manifesto he was significantly silent. Cardenas, however, is the first Mexican President who seems to have some personal integrity. and although it is his avowed aim "to hand Mexico over to the dictatorship of the proletariat.- he must try : icl conciliate the Church for the proletariat, after all, is Catholic. We fancy Cardenas will do what he can to restore order, but there are secret undercurrents in Mexican politics which he cannot control and he has, moreover, some strange bed-fellows.

, _ Civic Pride W' ill) out R eligion

Ratepayers of Nedlands, particularly the Catholic body, will be astonished at the dictatorial powers assumed by the local Roads Board at a meeting held during the week. The question of extensions to the Carmelite Monastery was the subject of discussion. One of the members of the Board, with more valour than discretion. opposed the new extension: on the ground that it would be a public chapel. and that the people of the district could worTo such a pass have the Nedlands Roads Board auship there! thorities come. that, while ratepayers at the same meeting could complain that most of the Board's activities on its reserves had on should nevertheless be questionbeen devoted to sport, perm ed for the provision of facilities for public worship! Even from the civic point of view, the proposed extension, which is really only part of the original plans of the Monastery, will be a decided architectural improvement, and a further incentive to closer settlement, which that portion of the district sadly Moreover, the capital cities of the Eastern States have needs. not questioned the building of exactly simivar buildings, even in their most aristocratic suburbs. But evidently what is considered an architectural adornment in Kew is not good enough for some of the members of the Nedlands Roads Board.

re th Barbarians?

The murder and the midnight horror have become the accepted themes of the great bulk of modern popular literature and cutertainment. No evening paper can really be complete without a Iiberal sprinkling of sufficiently entertaining suicides or. appropriately dramatic murders (x marking the spot where the body was No modern broadcasting station can hope to stand withfound.) out constant reminiscences of the more indecent legal causes celebres. The modern wireless fan has no longer any patience with the old-fashioned, straightforward shot from the' shoulder. There is something more subtlety satisfying about the last gasps of the criminal in the electric chair. We must charitably suppose that the impelling logic of such a philosophy urges on the Press to the (.xqt,isite surfeit of atrocities which is provided with such promptitude and in such detail in this African war. But to thoughtful people it is beginning to seem that the Press is piling on the horors just a little too thickly to be consistent either with good taste or with entire credibility. In the beginning of this conflict it was generally accepted that the Abyssinians were barbarians who might lop off your ears or put a ring through your nose. At all events they had slaves and f)racticed mutilation. But as the Avar went on and it seemed that Italy would win in spite of the international financiers ,it suddenly appeared that the Abyssinians possessed large stores of hitherto unsuspected chivalry and even heroism. The English Press, all at once, discovered in its bosom an overwhelming love for the poor. especially for those too poor to pay for ammunition. At the same time it was eaten up by a holy frenzy against the rich lnd the prot.d. The Italians. it seemed, were rich enough not to he compelled to buy British arms and not humble enough to regard British commercialism as more important than Italian nationalism. Then, most recently. the Press presented that irresistible coinIsination of the ladies and the clergy in a concerted duet about gas and undefended towns. The use of gas has yet to be proved before the League. and we seem to recall the consternation of the Press over the use of gas at another period in this century, though at that time the indignation was on the point that someone else had used it first. It is even childish to he complaining of the undefended towns. It is a new, hut not very reasonable outlook, to regard a war from the viewpoint of the ideal war. 'In any case, it was probably an unfortunate oversight that the Italians did not ' forward ammunition and fortifications to Harrar before bombing it. And, finally, it is edifying to find an English Bishop with si.ch pathetic simplicity that, at this late hour. he still believes the cables. . [he bombing of Harrar directs Catholic attention to the chief Catholic centre of interest in Abyssinia, for Harrar is the base ot the activities of Mgr. Jarosseau, who has been one of the heroic mis-,ionary pioneers of Abyssinia. Vicar Apostolic of Galla, the Monseigneur is a Capuchin, wearing the poorest Franciscan habit. Fifty-five years ago he arrived at Zeila in British Somaliland, and a fter a 26-days' camel journey reached Harrar, then under Moslem rule. For over half a century he has given himself unsparingly to the apostolate in this arduous part of the vineyard. The late Emperor, on his death-bed, entrusted his son to the paternal care of Bishop Jarosseau and the Bishop has reason to be proud of his pupil. Haile Selassie has shown his gratitude to the Catholic missionaries these many years. He has consistently befriended Mgr. Jarosseau and allowed him to build a Cathedral in Addis Ababa. In his long experience.. the Bishop has suffered much and has seen his missionary brethren suffer too: but no sign of bitterness or of pessimism can be detected in him. His love for the Ethiopians is unquenchable and he believes that all the hostility shown by t hem towards the Catholic Church is due to the cruel manner in which they were deluded and beguiled in ages past. The fruits of his perseverance are manifested ifl. many encouraging signs of goodwill towards Catholicism. In Rome itself, within the walls of the Vatican City, stands a perpetual monument to Rome's solicitude for Abyssinia's return to the Centre.. As far back as the 12th. century. the church and school of "St. Stephen of the Moorswas given over to the use of monks and pilgrims fn Abyssinia Recently Pope Pius XI. has enlarged the Ethiopian College and restored the church of St. Stephen, thereby proving to the world that, whatever political Italy might do, his affection Nva unaltered towards the xvayward children of Abyssinia.

Annual Presentaticn of Cups. . .The Cathedral Hall on Wednesday, March 25, was the scene of a large gathering ot members of the Association—in fact it was a record attendance —when the Administrator (Very Rev. Father Kelly), acting on behalt of His Grace the Archbishop, made the annual presentation of cups, trophies, and pennants to the successful competitors in last year's series, The conditons made it a "free and easy" night and all entered into the spirit of the function. Under the entrancing music supplied by Miss Doreen D'Arcy, trippers of the light fantastic held merry sway after the main feature of the e vening had been disposed of. Previous to making the presentation. Father Kelly made a speech that should sink well into the minds of many. lie en. umerated the characteristics that should be borne by all on and off the court, particularly as regards to bearing and manly conduct. He appealed to the "Gladiators of the Court" not to forget that they should bear their responsibilities with 'the various executives. Their duty to the Association should not end when the match was won; there were other matters that should claim their attentiort. Father Kelly's remarks were deeply appreciated by all the otfice-bearers and it is confidently anticipated that they will bring good results. The fine response to the evening by the large attendance augurs well for future functions. The social secretary (Miss Iris Brophy), with her able assistant (Miss Nell Cusack). and the members of the social committee, are to be congratulated on their successful season's debut.

C arnivahtes Honour Miss Carmody. A very pleasant function was tnat. accorded the captain of the ladies' team to each carnival (Miss Amelda C armody), on Friday evening, when all the` members and supporters ut each inter-State team gathered at her home to pay their tribute of esteem in the presentation of an illuminated address and a beautiful teaset to her on the eve of her marriage to Mr. Gordon Swan. The very large gathering present was ample demonstration of the wonderful popularity that Amelda Speakers closely connected holds. with the tours conveyed messages of good wishes from her host of admirers. Many references were made to the prestige that was reflected upon the Association by her deeds in the past and of the wonderful impression that she and her ladies' team made whilst a way. The evening and its success was a tine tribute to one who has had the distinction of being sent away on three tours as captain of the ladies' team from the West. Country Carnival. Once again the carnival for country clubs has wended its way around, and the executive welcomes to the city the clubs that mean so much to the lAssociatione The tournament this year gives every indication of a record success. Six clubs will bk competing for the honour of the cup. Collie will be newcomers to the fold, whilst old friends in Narrogin and Bunbury, having been resurrected, will be starters on this occasion. Unfortunately, Northam will be amongst the missing. A full and detailed programme will be submitted in the next issue of "The Record." The Annual Ball, Already final arrangements have been completed for the annual ball, to be held on May 20- at the Embassy. The support already promised in con j unction with the booking of logues and lounges makes the committee feel confident that this Year's function will eclipse all its preedcessors.

Sulgurphy, from livan kindly consented to adjudicate, and the efficient manner in which he carried out his duties was appreciated by everyone.

The Crusades Cecil B. De:Mille's great romantic spectacle for Paramount, "The. Crusades,- which will open at the Grand Theatre on Good Friday, April 10, is a worthy successor to such outstanding productions as "The Ten Commandments.- "The King of Kings," "The Sign of the Cross," and "Cleopatra." As as the case with these pictures. - The Crusades' tells the story of supercharged conflicts in history. arising a t times of great crisis in the human race, The picture is set in the Twelfth Century. when all Christendom went on the inspired mission of rescuing the Holy Land- especially Jerusalem and the Holy Sepulchre, from the power of Islam Into the splendid pageantry of "The Crusades," DeNlille has skilfully woven a moving love story among the most memorable of screen romances. It tells of the love between Richard the Lion-Hearted, played by Henry Wit. coxon, and Berengaria, Princess ot Navarre. played by Loretta Young These two royal personages are spirited. hot-hlooded, highly complex human beings, whose love for each other is tested by the greatest renunciation ot which a man and woman are capable In strongly emotional roles, the two stars perform thrillingly, making "The Crusades" as alive and glowing as the e,e.st modern love story.

Mercantile Cricket Final, On Saturda. last, our team took part in the final day's play for the Shield for the second four. At the start we were four runs in front on the first innings, and had dismissed two of the .RA.N.R. for 26. Henry Day and Charlie Hansen again were the spearhead of our attack and when the latter secured a wicket in his first over we felt pretty confident. The Navy, however, managed to hang on until at last Ron Cant was brought on. He was immediately successful, and finished off the remaining batsmen t,) the tune of 4 for 13. Our opponent . had made 115 runs, leaving us unclem t wo hours in which to get the 112 runs required. Bill Hughes and George Jetis opened up for us and immediately the runs came quickly. Unfortunately George was out to a phenomenal catch when he had made 10, and an o ther hundred runs were needed. A hard-hitting innings by Charlie Han. sen saved the day for the Society, He was partnered by Bill Hughes till 40 run, were on the board, and then 114 was joined by Frank Townsend and the partnership was worth about 90 runs. With the departure of Charlie t rim the crease with the score at 3 for 7. three more wickets fell in quick SUCCCCSiOn before the winning stroke was made by Frank Townsend, who had made 31 not out. It has been a w onderful performance by the Society to win that Shield in its first year in t he Association. more especially when it is realised that the teams we had to beat in the finals were teams which had already beaten us comfortabl t wice before, Our cricket dinner has been arranged for April 30. when the Shield will Iv paraded and the tisi phv winners for 1935-36 will be presented with their priles.

was a very big surprise for me to opt!' our weekly last Sunday' and find t herein a letter from His Grace the A rchbishop concerning the Busbies' Ss. hems . It was. to my mind, the most elowarm written word on the Cause of this Page that 1 have had the privilege or reading, and I closed our "Record.' with feelings of deep. gratitude to His Grace for having penned a letter that has, I am sure, appealed to each and every one of you, repaying you in part tor all your constant support of Rev Dr. NIcMahon's admirable work, and that certainly renewed my own humble desire to do my little best to further its activities. How little that best is is daily brought tome to me by the inadequacy of my efforts to cope with the increasing growth of the Scheme, but God is different from others in that lie generally makes use of weak instruments by which to share His ends, and you surely have long since gauged my inability by the realisation that you yourselves are the main f actors in bnilding up the Scheme. To-day in my mail I received a letter from a "holy nun.- I give her the adoctive because whenever anyone talks about nuns. I should say a nun, they generally frame their sentence thusly: "A certain holy nun. . . .," f rom which I gather that all nuns re. ceive the adjective as a custom of courtesy, and whether they deserve it Well. this holy nun wrote or not. me rather a nice warm and heartening kind of a letter. but she took the good out of it at the end by concluding with May Almighty God bless you, Aunt Ressy—He has certainly given you 'the gift of the gab!'" 0 Lord! ''The gift of the gab" And so often I pride myself that St. Joseph and myself have one thing i i common—a silent tongue—but then S t. Joseph never went in for typing o ff his thoughts, and maybe if he had, and if a certain holy nun read what he typed. she would have had reason, too, to congratulate him on the gift of the gab," since it is granted that the silent of tongue find an outlet f elt- their_ thoughts somewhere. . Well, if I have the "gift of the gab." niay I not defend myself by saying I use is principally in the cause oi the I would fain use it yet Busbies? again this week in reminding you' that Fillet His Grace has been pleased to arrange that the collections taken up on Good Friday be set aside foe the financing of the Busbies' Scheme. and since the help derived from this source will mean a great uplift for this Year.

All my love, and I hope Sandy makes money in abundance,--.As always, THE OLD CHOOK. Dear "Old Chook,--Knowing you now to be but a tender young chicken, I must of necessity be prompt to accept your apology, but if I had you here at the moment I would feel more inclined to make chicken broth of you. so I would, for I have been trying to track you down the deceiver of poor Puck for a twelve-month or more. Sure and it's no wonder the other evening that in endeavouring to make polite conversation I asked you how your own self was instead of asking you how herself was doing, for that red head of yours got me mixed up entirely, and though I knew I was talking to you, the red hair made me think maybe I was talking to Puck. so I trust you didn't go along to all and sundry next day and say, "Ali, poor thing! I met A.B. alright, but she's slightly daft where the moonbeams have struck her"—did you?? Thank you for your 10s., and if you knew just how precious the possession of my typer is at the moment, you would feel glad your generous gesture had come this way to °freer me. AUNT BESSY.

Ile has the sorrows of hun Think you dreds brought to Jinn. that his heart is not touched, that. he does not feel for his people and suffer with them in their afflictions? "And when we do feel grateful to him, how seldom we let him know. "We are not .bound. of course, to thank the priest for what is his duty to do, but his heart is human, after all, and gratitude and appreciation are. without doubt, as consoling to him as to Us. "In that most beautiful and most holy relation which exists between the priest and his people, all are equally bound before God: he 'so to watch as to give an account of our souls," we to profit with the greatest care and faithfulness by what God sends to us through him. "St. Francis de Sales says that we !should regard our priests 'with a reverence that does not diminish our affection. that does not diminish our reverence,' In his care and watchfulness over U5 we have a type of the loving care of the Father who gave him to us. In the sacrifices he makes for us there is a symbol of the infinite sacrifice of One whose humble follower he is. and receives whatever from whom he beauty of character he possesses, as the tiny pool reflects the glorious sun. In his wisdom and knowledge for U5 there are shown the workings of the spirit of truth and holiness whom the Father promised to send in His Son's name into His Church. "Never in this world shall we realise what we owe to the priest. We are too full of our own wants and needs, and we take fair blessinos too much for granted to think a great deal about it. "But if ever we save our souls it will be. under God. through his help. Then, having more knowledge and seeing more clearly than we do here, we shall comprehend what our priests have done for us. "Then we shall regret, if regret an enter that happy place, that we did not more often cheer his heart by oratitude and obedience.

'Let us, then, reverence him, obey him, love him with a holy affection. and thank God for him. -Let us pray day and night that our dear Lord will comfort and strengthen him here, and reward him for all eternity among his saints in heaven hereafter.AC KNOWLEDGMENTS.

I am enclosing a stamped-addressed envelope for a book of tickets on Sandy. Of course, he does not expect to bring in as much money as "Love's Young Dream," does he? (He limits his expectations at COO, dear lady!) All the world loves a bride, but a Scotchman, plus the bagpipes, is an acquired taste, don't you think? —Yours sincerely. ROSE-MARIE. Dear Rose-Marie.—Thank you for your 5s., and I have asked the good St. Joseph for your special intentiton, Sandy will be thrilled to hear that one Cornerite has paid the freight on a book of tickets on his noble self—that is a thoughtful act that will hold its o‘vn appeal. As for a Scutchman and his bagpipes being "an acquired taste," do not know. And if he is. well, when I think of oysters, asparagus, Epsom salts, castor oil, and the hundred and one other things that require an acquired taste before one can appreciate them properly. I am all in favour of more strongly recommending everyone to try their luck on Sandy. AUNT BESSY, P.S.: Is your "intention- long or short, and is h willing to he married by your parish priest? If so.

I had a trip over to the Zoo about a year ago, and I found things very changed since fifty years ago. Then it was all wild bush. not even the thought of a lion there. It will be very nice for the Catholics of South Perth when they have their new church to go to, as the place itself is so pretty. I am enclosing 2/6 for ten tickets on Sandy.

Yet in this supreme agony He turns to heaven for consolation and strength. His sorrow grows. but He prays the longer, asking with a strong cry through His tears. He salutes God by the sweet name "Mv Father," and three times accepts the bitter chalice pressed to His lips. And in the end, strengthene4 by an angel, He announces resolutely that the hour of man's redemption is at hand, and not awaiting the approach of the enemy, goes forth to meet him.

THIOPIA or Abyssinia proper has a population of between five and six million. The population is Christian and Catholic though Schismatic, and not at all pure in its Catholic teaching and p.-actice. Side by side witn this official Ethiopian Church, is a small minority of Catholics, numbering a few thousand, and scattered amongst two Vicariates, under the charge of Propaganda. With the accession of Haile Selassie, there seems a brighter prospect for the Faith. As a young man his life was saved by a missionary, and he has befriended the Catholic Missions, atid has allowed a Cathedral to be built at Addis Ababa, the capital. But the return of Ethiopia to the Centre of Catholicity will be very difficult, unless the fetters that bind her Schismatic Church to the Schismatic Patriarch of Alexandria are broken. Under Italian rule, this would be a likely eventuality.

Then -follows the Lord's Prayer and the Communion under both kinds ; then a final t hanksgiving, the Lord's Prayer once more, the priest's blessing, and the dismissal by the deacon with the words: "Depart in peace." Doctrinal Beliefs. The doctrinal beliefs of the Ethiopians cannot be summarised a dequately. They believe that, until the last judgment, the souls of the just are in the terrestrial paradise, while those of the Wicked are in various places, even on the sea. They are not all of them sound on the eternity of hell. The doctrine of purgatory does not appear to be properly appreciated, but everywhere they have prayers for the dead. They r eject, however, the Catholic doctrine of two natures in Christ, holding that the human nature was absorbed by the Divine—a heresy akin to that of the Monophysites. The . seven Sacraments are all admitted ,but not all are administered. Baptism is given by triple immersion and is often delayed for forty or eighty days in terms of the Judaizing principles of legal purification. Confirmation and Extreme Unction, apparently owing to the difficulty of obtaining the holy oil, are no longer administered. R eligious History. Many, no doubt, were the influences, Jewish and Christian, which disposed the people for the r eception of the Faith. Reliable history tells that St. Frumentius was the first apostle of the c ountry. Consecrated bishop by St. Athanasius, he was sent to preach the Gospel and to found the hierarchy among the Ethiopians in the early part of the fourth century. He it was who baptised the brother kings Ababa and Atshaba, and aided by them e vangelised the people and began the Golden Age of the Ethiopian Church. Heresy and Schism.

sociation with the Patriarch o; Alexandria, and schism from the same source. Then came the Mahommedan invasion, which cut oil effective intercourse with Rome to the sixteenth centery. Christianity, however, still continued, though of a hybrid nature. Political intrigues opposed reunion with Rome—although Abyssinia itself believed in the Primacy. Portuguese Jesuits and Italian Franciscans found intermittent entry* into the country —that usually ended in mai tyrdom. Beatified Missionary. The Catholic Faith and practise were kept alive at the cost of every sacrifice right down to the present day. Outstanding in nineteenth century missionary work were Blessed Justin de Jacobis (beatified 1935) and Cardinal Massaia. To-day there lives in Harrar—after 50. years' work there—Monsignor Jamsseau—a friend of Haile Selassie, the Emperor. The Emperor, though not a Catholic, is very favourable, and has braved the excommunication of the Ethio plan Primate to favour the Catholic missions. Ecclesiastical Divisions. To-day Ethiopia is divided into four Catholic Ecclesiastical Provinces, only two of which come within the political territory of Abyssinia. namely, the Vicariate of Galla (Mons. Jarosseat,. of Harrar), with ten thousand Catholics, and the Vicariate of KalTa, in the South-West. with about 4.000 Catholics judging by these figures and considering the position of the Schismatic Ethiopian Church, there is no doubt that Catholicism will not make much prwress until the fetters which bind the people to the Coptic Patriarch of Alexandria are loosened. Perhaps if Mussolini gets control, this may he one of the results of the conquest.
