FIVE
ON THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE HOLY NAME SOCIETY.
1
Here in the Archdiocese it has long been my wish to have e stablished some society which would cater exclusively for met-.. Up to this, we have had no such society, the nearest apprcach to it being the Sacred Heart Sodality, the majority of whosc mernliers are women, but which includes a minority membership of men. As the Sacred Heart Sodality is apparently more appropriate for women, it would be well if it wet-% devoted exclusively to them, provided that a society devott.d exclusively to men could be established. 'Vow such a society is that of the Holy Name. It is wholly a men's Society, and as such, has met with wonderful success in the United States and in most Catholic countries. In the United States its membership exceeds three millions, and it has already met with great success in many dioceses in Australia. At present. there are over one hundred and fifty branches established in various dioceses in the Eastern States, and new branches are continually being formed. The success which it has met with in the Eastern States gives me an added incentive to introduce it into the West. I feel sure that our men here are as loyal to their faith and as willing to co-operate in a religious organisation of this kind as those in any part of the world and I have confident hopes that our efforts in that direction will meet with the success they deserve. The women and children are already catered for in the matter al confraternities and sodalities. The men need a Men's Own Movement. They must have the support and encouragement That comes from an organisation standing four-square to opposition. rallying around a banner, in showing to the world the Church living, active and inspiring. That is the psychology of the success of the Holy Name Society. It is a manly Society, where its members march shoulder to shoulder in God's Cause, wear Christ's Name for an emblem: pledge themselves to clean conduct and speech, and meet and organise in the furtherance of Christ's cause. Monthly Communion and a monthly meeting sum up the main external obligations of the Holy Name Society, while its members pledge themseles to Christian reverence, Christian conduct, good citizenship. and reasonable tolerance. Never has there been greater need for a ctaunch body of men who will uphold these ideals in a world which seems fast falling away from them. The Holy Name Society should thus do much to consolidate our strength and filrther the cause of the Church. The externals of the Society are also suited to the male repugnance to a personal display of religion. Each member is invested with a badge which he wears publicly. It is a small badge based on the original banner of Constantine, the initial Greek letters denoting the Holy Name worked in with the St. P.ndrew's Cross. forming the design. There is room for the Holy Name Society in the Archdiocese and there is need for it. Outside the Church. the attitude of men towards the supernatural is largely one of indifference, if not of hostility. The world to-day is inclined to revolt against the old traditions of religion and morality and the foundations of social and family life are being undermined by antiChristian propaganda. Catholic men experience this attitude everywhere—at work, in business and in social life. They require to be safeguarded and strengthened against it, and the antidote lies chiefly in a robustly spiritual and well organised phalanx of Catholic men who are staunch in the practice of their religious duties and ever ready to uphold the laws of God and His Church in public as well as in private life. The members of the Holy Name Society are expected to be such manly They can stem the rising tide of revolt by living Cathovcs. as Holy Name men should live—an example to all. The Holy Name man should be an apostle who carries out his apostolate in every sphere where good example is required. Members are expected to receive Holy Communion in a body on one Sunday in each month. No one will deny that the regular attendance of a body of men month after month at Holy Communion must make a deep impression upon others. The impression will be all the more lasting when it is found that their religion is not c onfined to Sunday. but extends to every day of the week.
Ia conclusion, I wish it to be understood that I am wholeheartedly in favour of this movement. and I shall watch its Knowing our Catholic men to be progress with interest. loyal and faithful at all times.I feel confident that this appeal tf have the Holy Name Society established in every parish will rieet .vith enthusiastic support. Some Parish Priests have already made arrangements to launch the movement in their parishes. It is my sincere wish that in the near future every parish in the Archdiocese will have a branch established. P.rart altogether from its value as an organised force in the niri,h the Holy Name Society will be a most practical and e ffective means of developing Catholic Action. Devotedly in Christ,

EILEEN JOYCE SUCCEEDS IN SYDNEY L audatory Press Notices. " Eileen Joyce achieved a complete st.ccess in the Town Hall concert on Thursday night," wrote William Asprey in the "Sun." "In Rachmaninoff's C Minor Concerto, with an orchestra conducted by Dr. Edgar Bainton, no one movement was better than another, but her every phrase was imbued with warmth and intensity of feeling—a technically skilled and graceful performance." -She demonstrated that she is quite capable of dominating the situation in the fortissimo passages, and during the heaviest scoring the piano was always audible. In the legato melodies her playing and.expressive gift were c harming, and the more forceful, chordal work scales and arpeggios were executed brilliantly." Dr. Keith Barry, in the "Daily Telegraph," says: "She attacked the concerto in a spiiit of fierce r omanticism, the force of which was often arresting in its emotional exposure. "She painted a specious canvas with most comprehensive c olouring." The "Labour Daily" comments: "Miss Joyce attained dramatic neights in the adagio movement." W riting- of her solo concert, the ' •Sydney Morning Herald" described her as "a rare interpreter and a genuinely distinguished artist.This critic remarks on "the resilience and aliveness of her tone," and her sparkling and minutely adjusted sense of 7-hythm."

EASTER AT NEWNORCIA New Nurcia was the rendezvous of an even greater number of tourists than ever this Easter. The two charabancs that left Perth on Thursday evening were packed with 60 exctasionists, the booking for seats having closed a fortnight previously. Arriving at the Hostel at about 10.30 p.m., the weary travellers were welcomed by the Matron, Mrs. Hogan. On Good Friday the visitors attended the Mass of the Presanctified and the Tenebrae, and also the long services of Holy Saturday. The music and beautiful solemnity of the liturgy were carried out in the best traditions of the Order. A notable musical innovation on Good Friday was the singing of "The Seven Last Words," composed by Dom Moreno, and each \Vord preceded by a short address from the Abbot. On Easter Sunday, after High Mass, the sight-seeing commenced with a visit to the native girls' orphanage (a new and handsome building). The girls provided a concert, which was much appreciated. In the evening. after Vespers and Benediction, there was another concert, this time by the small charges of Father Maur, 0.S.B., at St. Mary's Orphanage. These boys have justly acquired considerable fame as entertainers. On Monday morning the visitors were shown over the Cathedral and Monks' Choir. during which. Dorn S. Moreno. 0.S.B.. the cerebrated musician, gave a Mort organ recital, which was one of the outstanding memories of the visit. Followed inspection of St. Ildephonstis' and St. Gertrude's. and then it was time
leay . Prior to the departure the Lord Abbot honoured the excursionists by a visit to the Hostel, where a short musical programme had been arranged, contributed to by Misses A. Meyer, K. Dunne, Messrs. W. McSweeney, K. Meyer and W. Partington. Before the return journey was commenced, the party presented Mrs. Hogan with a small token of their appreciation for her many kindnesses.
AUSTRALIAN PROTESTS On Behalf of German Catholics At a meeting of the Auckland branch of the Holy Name Society, convened on February 20 this year, to meet Father W. V. McEvoy, 0.P. National Director in Australia and *New Zealand, a resolution was passed that steps be taken to have a protest sent to the German Consul, to be conveyed to Herr Hitler, against the treatment of German Catholics by his Government. It was further suggested that this protest should he the voice not alone of the men of Auckland, teut of the Holy Name men in Australia, New Zealand, and the United States. The resolution is to be forwarded also to His Eminence Cardinal de Faulhaber, as an expression of sympathy. The majority of the Hierarchy have already given their cordial approval and that of the others is momentarily awaited.
Although the movement has only juqt started, the vote has already been enthusiastically passed in Auckland, Wagga Wagga, Bendigo. and is being pushed in the Goulburn and Maitland dioceses. In a short time it is hoped that a great chorus of protest will be heard which will at least hearten German Catholicq in their trials, as;tiring t'hem of a sympathetic and admiring public opinion. The vote is taken at the monthly meeting of the Holy Name Society, icned by the officials. and sent to Father McEvoy, at St. Dominic's. East

Reply: Such ordinations would be contrary to the will of God, expressed in both the Old Law and the New (Anglican practice Our Lord notwithstanding). selected twelve men as His Apostles, and -they in turn selected men as their successors. St. Paul excluded women from all share in liturgical functions, forbidding them to teach or even to address the assembled faithful. (I. Tim., 11, 12, and I. Cor.. xiy., 34, 35.) The deaconnesses of the early Church were specially blessed b it not ordained, as St. Epiphanius expressly mentions in the 5th. century.

"Sticky Beak" (Canning Dam): Why does the Church re-baptise Protestants when they wish to be "received"? Reply: She does not rebaptise them, as baptism can be received only once. Converts are bapised conditionally only when a prudent doubt exists about the validity of the former baptism. The form is: "If thou art not baptised. I baptise thee." etc. If' the first baptism was valid, the conditional baptism is not a Sacrament. " Annoyed" North Perth : Is there any ,ecclesiastical law which binds parents to give Christian names to their children at baptism? Reply: Yes, Canon 761 of the Canon Law requires this.

Padre Pio -- A Modern Wonder In a remote corner of Italy, t wenty miles from a railway station, beyond the hubbub of the world with its wars, conferences, sanctions, there is living in a small Franciscan monastery a man whose name may one day be a household word all over the world, long after the Italo-Abyssinian conflict has become a mere historical memory.

Bad Bools and the "Adult Mind"
There exists at the moment a great deal of discontent and irritation over the Commonwealth's retention pf book censorship, and a decided movement for its abolition is on foot. Now it is time it was realised that no organisation has stood against the encroachments of the State upon individual and collective liberty to the extent that the Church has done. But here again has arisen the tiresome but infinitely important distinction between liberty and licence. A man is free only when he knows the limits. For if he does not know them he does not know when he transgresses. Hence he is not right when accidently he keeps within them or objectively wrong when he breaks past them. He forfeited his power of choice when he refused to accept limits. One of the limits which civilisation and nature placed on tn.an's social happiness was a moral obligation to obey the reasonable demands of government. And civil rulers, for their part, are not free to govern as they like, but only in view of the common good. Now, apart from the talk of r he "adult mind" which we shall presently examine, the average man will concede that some censorship of literature is necessary, just as the Pure Foods Act is necessary or the certification of medical practitioners. In this matter the State has not onry- a right, hut a positive duty. to protect the common weal. What particularly needs attention in the present drift of public opinion is that the abolition publicists are ridiculing the system of censorship on the grounds that we are all grown up and have "adult minds." Now. the moderns are unimpressive precisely because they never by any accident apply the same principles to two :s eparate concrete cases. In the case for quack eugenics the publicists became hoarse shouting at the public that almost everyone w as sub-normal or mentally deficient, so much so that the State must immediately see about regulating their primary rights of reproduction. But immediately the case for public murals turns up, it appears that actually there is nothing much the matter with us. We are all grown up and have "adult minds." Apparently liberty has attained to the full stature. We. may not only now choose our own books without peril, but even perhaps mates for marriage and the possibility of parenthood. Let them beware, they go too far. But. seriously. the "adult mind" theory postulates that moral stamina and the preservation of virtue depend upon a stage of mental development. It really reduces to the statement that ignoranceis the handmaiden of vice and that the widely -read man is, or should be, a saint. Which is the sort of reduction which is described in Euclid as "ad absurdutn." Any superficial acquaintInce with history will satisfy to exhibit that there is no essential or even associated connection between sanctity and intellectual capacity on the one hand or between vice and lack of information on the other. Aquinas strides the world—an intellectual Colossus. But Jean Marie de Viannev, the ignorant little Cure of Ars, was also a saint, and is loved no whit the less than Aquinas. So that in the last analysis, the Abolitionists are as crudely pagan as the Eugenists, in that they believe that "fitness" is the final test. In one case the race is to the strong; in the other, to the shrewd. But at the Church's banquet are to be found both the halt and the blind. In what has been said it eventuates is behind the State on the principle of censorship. That does not mean that the governmental exercise of its rights has been always commen dable. Indeed the Abolitionists, in a number of. cases, have adequate reason for irritation. But the practical failures of the Censorship argue nothing against the necessity of its existen,ce any more than the patent failure of the Universities sto produce culture argues against Universities. The whole trouble with the Abolitionists is that they have not heard of Original Sin. They do not understa nd as Christians should the wealth of salutary wisdom that is bottled up in such innocent little words and phrases as "concupiscence" and "occasions of sin." Moral integrity does not depcnd for its preservation upon intellectual gifts or even upon honesty of purpose. Man's intellect received a staggering blow in tbe Fall of Adam. One only has to try study to find this out. Virtue is preserved lw a combination of the efforts of the human will and the grace of God. But. above all else. lw the avoidance of unnecess ary occasions of vice. So trinch of this class of thing is unhappi ly veneered with the specious pretext of learning.

Lae inought of Anzac The special Requiem Mass on Saturday will serve to remind Catholics of what is at once their solemn duty and their high privilege—to pray for the dead who can no longer pray for themselves. Anzac Day is moreover, the commemoration of the outstandingly splendid thing in Australian history. 1t saw the fulfilment of Henry Lawson's remarkable prophecy about the "boys by the western creeks" who would "fight for a Right or a Great Mistake as men never fought before." It is beside the point whether Gallipoli or the entire ‘var were a Right or a Great Mistake. The 011US was not on the individual soldier. In an case the high deeds of heroism are not dimmed. Despite the hysteria of the pacifists. much that was unsuspectedly noble and grand came out of the Great Carnage of 1914. But now, after almott twenty years, it is the spiritual memory that matters, even more than the national sentiment. And, sadly enough. it is this aspect of Anzac Day that has degenerated. It is too late now to talk excitedly about the deplorable monuments which were raised with intent to honour the dead. But they are strangely un-Christian, lacking the Cross. They might have been raised by men who had not heard of the resurrection of the body. Some of them, notably in Sydney, went beyond the negative and expressed positively revolting ideas in their symbolism. It is crude and hurtful that an Archbishop should have been compelled to utter a protest against the mausoleums of the dead on the .Y.rot.tids of immorality and something akin to blasphemy. Let us make the Anzac Mass one of reparation as well as of suffrage, for the dead have been dishonoured by the crude emotionalism of the living.
A Movement for Men The announcement of His Grace the Archbishop regarding the formation throughout the Archdiocese of branches of the Holy Name Society should be heartily welcomed by the men of the A rchdiocese. s1 His Grace indicates, it is essentially a movement for men, devoid of those external "pieties" which contract the male soul, and has had enormous success in many parts of the Catholic world. . There are,. moreover, two points among its objectives which commend themselves especially as touching the nerve centres of national weakness. The first of these is the very title of the organisation, combined with the obligation of reverence. The conspicuous public fault about Australian Christian s, or the male section, anyhow, is this lack of proper regard for consecrated things. persons. places and topics. It has assumed the aggravated proportions of a menace. The Holy Name Society should help greatly towards its minimisation. The second matter deals with a pledge in regard to clean conduct and speeth. And here again there is laid open the occasion of a charge of national infamy, especially in the direction of low and suggestive talk. This has its origin largely in a false concept of manhood. Boys learn to curse like "society" debutantes because they imagine that the honour of their sex is in some way at stake if they do not. They are frequently' motivated, or a t least encouraged, by the disgusting language of older men who dc• serve horse-whipping for the manv-sided dishonou r Is;hich their conduct involves. Bad language and low jesting is, of course, a confession of ignorance whereby men admit that they had not sufficient acqt aintance with and command of their own wonderful language as to be able adequately to express themselves through it. But the Holy Name Society will give them higher motives and also a true concept of manhood which finds what is desirable in the character of Him who for us became a Man. CgIONCW;g6ErSZ.MKOONagMtge_

The Late Bishop Cox, O.M.I. Great Prelate Well-Known in Western Australia AN APPRECIATION by E. L. H. There are many hundreds in Western Australia, particularly in Perth and Fremantle, Catholics and non-Catholics, who will deeply regret to hear of the death of the late Bishop Cox, O..11,1.. late Vicar Apostolic up till 1924 of the Transvaal, which occurred at the Parktown Convent, Johannesburg. where he has resided since 1924, at the ripe age of 88. The late Bishop was born in Shrewsbury. England. and his father was a convert, being one of the great number of converts who joined the Church through the advocacy of that great man, Monsignor Capel, and was personal friends with Cardinals Newman and Manning and the Marquis of Bute ( who also became a convert about the same time and married Lady Margaret Norfolk, a sister of the late Duke of Norfolk and aunt of the present Lord Earl Marshall of England). Bishop ('ox's father was in some way related to the Howard family, and his ancestors had at one time been Catholics and reverted again to the fold with the conversion of Bishop ('ox's father. • A brother of the late Bishop was His Lordship Abbot George Bede Cox. Titular Abbot of the Benedictine Monastery at Glastonbury. England. which was one of the first monasteries founded in Britain. and where to-day the sacred thorn grows which was said to have been planted there by Toserh of Aramathea. when he visited Eng land and planted a thorn from the Crown.

The first priest in charge was the late Rev. Father Torn Ryan, one of the best loved of all the priests who have come to Western Australia during the To his energy and last fifty years. popularity, for he was both popular with his people and with the public generally, Fremantle owes the erection of the beautiful pro-Cathedral of St. There were difficult times Patrick. ahead, however, and it was thought advisable that a stronger man even than Father Ryan should come out and take charge of the parish which was then at its heyday owing to the rush f or the goldfields.
less. If he believed a thing were right or should be said he said it, and in no uncertain terms and with all the power which lay behind him, He had a wonderful voice and his bearing during the Mass was remarkable. He never asked one of his priests to do any service which he could not do himself and, as a result, during the whole of his period there—and, he was chaplain of the gaol at Fremantle—he always insisted that he should carry out the offices at the execuCen of any offender of his faith, despite the fact that often he was laid up for days afterwards. When the time came for him to leave Fremantle, the call did not allow much time to organise a large public send-off, but a very considerable sum was raised by voluntary subscr;ptioa, no one being asked, as an acknowledgment of his services. This he refused to accept, saying he would. leave as he came, and he went to the steamer carrying with him a small suit case very much worn, an old carpet bag, and some cases of books which were sent to be placed in the hold of the ship. After he left, however, he found that a number of presents, including most beautiful vestments, other clothing, and books were on board ship for him, and a very considerable sum had been left with the purser to be handed to him or paid to his credit on arrival in South 'Africa. He remained twelve years in Fremantle, during which period the parish of Cottesloe was divided from the Fremantle and th,•4. Oblates' work remained as the gresent parish exists. He was succeeded by the Very Rev. Father Neville, who is now chief of the Order in Fremantle and is a worthy successor to the late Bishop Cox. or Father Cox. as he then was. While in Fremantle, he studied and acquired a number of languages. such as Malay and other Eastern dialects, in order that he might administer to Asiatics and others visitincrs the Port, His life throughout was most ascetic and hard. He refused to have any more than a simple trundle bed, and once expressed a wish that when h: time came he should die like mans- of the martyrs of old lying on the cold earth. When he reached South Africa he found that the diocese of the Kimberleys to which he was sent, and of which the Oblates had charge. was seriously disturbed with financial difficulties which were crippling the work there, but in two years his success had been so great His Holiness the Pope made him Vicar Apostolic of the district. and later Administrator of the Kimberley and the Orange Free State Vicariate. He died crowned with long years which he gave to his Church and his people —and his people were vas tPopularity, fame or wealth meant nothing to him and he was certainly imbued with the great apostolic faith of his fathers, Western Australia, and particularly Fremantle, may well be proud to think that they have been in an" way connected with a man such as the late Bishop Cox.

A Jumble Sale will be held in the Cathedral Hall on May 10, organised by Mrs. Moss and Mrs. O'Dea. •• Mrs. W. Carlson and Miss D. Thomas were joint hostesses on Thursday evening at Mrs. Carlson's residence, Railway Terrace, Wyalkatchem, in honour of Miss Pat Harris, whose marriage to Mr. C. Behn took place at St. Mary's Cathedral on April 23. The evening took the form of a green and cream kitchen tea. Bridge was cnjoyed until midnight, when supper was served. The guest of the evening, who looked very charming, gowned in black lace, received a peg bouquet presented by little Betty White. Bridge prizes were won by Mrs. Dyson and Mr. T.

Mr. Cranston has built up a solid business since coming to this State 14 years ago from his _native place. Oldcastle, Co. Meath, Ireland. To the joyful pealing of bells the news has been announced to the people of Sinaloa and of Cornpeche that Catholic churches in the two states are once again open to the public. In Sinaloa, Governor Leyve has issued orders that churches throughout the state be opened, but that only those priests who are registered will be permitted to officiate. The law allows 45 priests. As soon as the municipal president of Culiacan. state capital. received the message, he turned over the churches to a board of citizens. Residents in several towns in Campeche State took things into their own hands and opened the churches themselves. Only two churches in the entire state remain closed. But persecution persists: public worship remains suspended and no priests are officiating.

Kalgoorlie C.Y.M.S. General, The monthly General Communion for members of the Society will take place on Sunday, April 26. A good attendance is expected, and all members are requested to wear their badges. The club went into recess for a week over the Easter vacation, as several of the members were away. The usual weekly meeting was held last Monday night, when members arranged a sports night and played billiards, table tennis, hockey and boxing. Rev. Dr. Kennedy played. several matches of table tennis and at the end of three-quarters' of an hour's play remained the unbeaten champion. Mr. Jack Johnson then gave an interesting exhibition of trick cycling and obstacle racing. Cricket. Last Sunday concluded the final match of the season. The result was a win for Pride of Picadilly by four wickets. Our chaps played good cricket, however, and the issue was in doubt almost to the last. Hockey. The first match of the hockey season was played last Sunday, when our team met All Blacks, last year's premiers. In view of the fact that four of our usual team were playing cricket, and we were only able to fieA ten men, our .four-goal defeat was not as bad as might have been expected, and with a full team on the field we are looking forward to a victory in our match next Sunday. Members of the team and prospective members are re• quested to turn up to practice every Wednesday on the Commonwealth Park ground.

New Church at Cowaramup
Easter Sunday at St. Anthony's, Wanneroo on Sunday, 12th. inst., St. Anthony's ,Church, Wanneroo, was the scene of great excitement. It was Easter Sun:day, and both old and young alike were eager to participate in the joy Outstanding as of our Risen Lord was the Feast to all, it was even more so to a certain group of pupils from -the parish school—those children who were for the first time to receive Our Lord into their little hearts. Indeed -to these Easter Sunday of 1936 will be for ever a memorable occasion. Long before the hour appointed for Mass, the church grounds was studded with cars and trucks, and the ever increasing 4.-slngregation round the l•hurch door awaited with friendly expectation the arrival of Rev. Father W oods, who was to be the celebrant of Holy Mass. Fitting the occasion, the altar was beautifully decorated with the choicest of white blooms from the local garIn the front seats were the dens. white first Communicants, wearing dresses: wreaths and veils, white rib1.ns and medals—a whiteness prevailed everywhere, symbolic of the purity and innocence of these young souls. During Mass appropriate hymns were sung by the children, whilst the number of people who knelt at the altar rails to fulfil their Easter duty was a Must not such an edifyrecord one. inc sight have been most gratifying to the hearts of those zealous Sisters. w hose labour for the good of souls in this particular portion of the Master's Vineyard has been fruitful of such splendid results (luring the last decade o f years?

The church was designed and specifications prepared as a donation by the parish's good friend, Mr. Edgar Le B. Henderson, and was built by Mr. Busterley, under the guidance of Mr. J. Ryan. After His Grace declared the church open anif congratulated the workers on the result of their efforts, the Sacrament of Confirmation was administered to 24 children and adults, five of whom were converts.
Last Sunday mght the Holy Name Society had its monthly meeting, and several new members were welcomed. This is most cheering and comforting, and we hope that, through the prayers and efforts of the members and officers of the Society, that no month will pass without enrolling new members, until every man in the parish is a member. .Every one who has joined is proud and happy to belong to this Society, and we know that it is going to bring many blessings both on the men and on the parish, Mr. Eddy Brown has been appointed president of the Holy Name Society, in place of Mr. Frank Carey, who has, unfortunately, left the parish.

Correspondence To the Editor, Sir,—Quiller-Couch, in "The Art of Writing:* gives this advice, "Do not write to the papers." And I pass on this advice to your correspondent, "R,V.R.," until he is at least sure of his facts and can marshall them properly. "R.V.R." takes half a column in which, when stripped of all verbiage, he tells us two things we already know. 1. That he objects to the Carmelites. 2. That there are monastic orders' within the Church of England, a matter which is quite beside the point.

For your information, "R.V.R.," the order mentioned by you was not the only one undissolved by the Reformation. This unenviable distinction was shared by all Orders which, like the one mentioned, preferred to follow the licentious Henry VIII. rather than the saintly More. It would appear that R.V.R. objects to the Carmelites because they: "do not productive work.' Who is R.V.R., in his presumption. to judge what is and what is not "pro. ductive work" in this world? Is a doctor's work productive? Is a teach. er's? And is the work of a Carmelite. beseiging the Gates of Heaven with petitions for a sinful world, less valuable than that of a doctor or of a teacher? Greater intellects than R.V.R.'s have pronounced against his theory. May I remind R.V.R. of the words of the poet?

Assisted by French, Italian and German priests, Bishop Amigo, o f Southwark, celebrated a High Mass for Peace in Westminster Cathedral, London, on Easter Monday. Archbishop Hinsley presided at the throne. A French priest was the assistant priest at the Mass, an Italian priest the deacon, and a German priest the sub-deacon. In his first annuunceined of the Mass, Archbishop Hinsley said: "The Holy Father's prayers for Peace, that the nations of the world may be united in the Peace of Christ, should awaken a heartfelt response from the Catholics of England." His Grace added that it was his desire that on this occasion the Ordinary of the Mass with the responses should be sung as with one voice by all the faithful present. A full general practice of the people's part of the Mass was held in Westminster Cathedral on Passion Sunday, March 29. All the Catholic public, members of religious communities and Catholic organisations attended. The practice was conducted by the president of the Society of St. Gregory, and was held as a public act of prayer for the intention of peace and the Catholic schools. for a chapel will become the choir, which is an appendage to the chapel, and is used by the Sisters for their daily religious exercises. The same control will exist, and the gates vill be locked as heretofore, and the institution will not in ally circumstances be c ontinuously open to the public." The hoard dealt with the matter in committee.
