Wedding With Nuptial Mass
Starigid's, West Perth ANNUAL
RETREAT.
"My child, what has led yuu to the altar of the Inunaculate Mary?" These words, used as they are in the consecration ceremony of Children of Mary, could have been applied to the band of girls who faced rain on the evening of 'April 20, and each succeeding morning and evening for a week. What had induced these gir.s to leave home each morning even bsiore dawn had spread her rosy mantle over the earth, and to give up each evening pleasures and entertainments which surely must bring relaxation from the toils of the day? What, ii nor the desire of each and every one to look into the depths of her soul and set her house in order for the day oi :eckoning. Yes Retreat time had come again, the hall once more became the earthly abode of Our Eucharistic King, and the Children of Mary had gathered from near and far to listen to the morning instructions and svening lectures, which were made su interesting and given with an earne-'im that must have touched the heart every girl. Death. Sin, the dangers of the day, the evils of Mixed Marriage, were subjects of prominence. The Rev. Director stressed the dangers arising from modern fashions for sport and beach wear, saying Children of Mary should not be led by what others do: they are not as others but a set apart. and should ever look to Mary as their model, not the world.

BUSHES IN LONDON A few miles from the centre of London, there are homes where Catholic children can never receive the blessing of proper Catholic instruction. A s a remedy, a system has been tried at Boxmoor, Hertfordshire, on lines adapted from the work and 'conditions in the far-flung Australian bush. It is intended to develop a scheme upon the results of this experiment at Boxmoor, where 30 uninstructed children were t raced. A three-weeks' course in the Catholic religion and a subsequent trial of the "postal instruction" were initiated, in a similar manner to the 5cheme described by Father J. T. McMahon, of Perth, Western Australia, in his explanation of "The Bushies' Scheme in Western Australia." The work was done by a small group of teachers who obtained permission of the parish priest to catechise the children and to pre-

Lyons. wife of the Prime :inister, when opening the new infants' home at Ashfield.

Eileen Joyce's first concert in Sydney—the first given by her a fter leaving Western Australia --appears to have been a triumphant success. The following paragraph is from the notice by the critic of the "Sydney Morning Herald": "Miss Joyce herself looked a little overwrought at thought of her responsibilities. when she first came on to the platform. Looking at this fragile, almost child-like figure. dressed all in white, beneath a hanging lamp. one wondered for a moment whether her agitation would take to.11 of the music in t he opening group. But no sooner had she set her fingers to the Bash prelude and Fugue in A Minor than all fears were set at rest. Here was a rare interpreter; a genuinely distinguished artist. The evening would inevitably be one of delight. And 40 it proved. The audience. w hich had definitely, if not very v ociferously, applauded the Bach. clapped with a good deal more w armth after the Haydn Sonata in E Flat: and by the time the Liszt display pieces and the Viennese Dances . of Friedman arrived it seemed ready to sit and listen to an endless reumber of CrICOrCS. There were. as a matter of fact, four extra numbers— and quite enough, as things thrned out : for friends going round to sec Miss Joyce after the concert found her in a state of nervous collapse, the strain having proved too great." The critic qualifies enthusiastic approval only to the extent of suggesting that the programme might have i,royided a little more 'solid fare" '/an it did.

"Romeo and Juliet" Creditable Performances by Catholic Artists "Romeo and Juliet" was presented for the third and final performance at the Assembly Hall on Friday evening, The prevailing vogue of 1st. inst. stark simplicity was adhered to, The stage was draped with black curtains and divided into front and rear sections by a draw curtain (also plain black) so that the action moved progressively from front to the back, giving an unbroken sequence of events, with only one long interval in which The properthe house lights go up. ties were few and simple— a bench, a couch. a table. One might be critical of the producer's judgment in this . matter as amateur players can usually do with as many adventitious aids as possible, especially in the interpretation of Shakespeare, where only a very striking per sonality can so sustain the long speeches as to avoid making the audience restless with a tedious performance. The outstanding performance on Friday night was given by Miss Joyce Fuller, who portrayed Juliet with a wealth of imaginative skill and 'controlled emotion that contrasted favourably with the general dearth of vitality of the play as a whole. The long soliloquy in contemplation of the tomb was admirably handled and the several difficult passages, which border on the ridiculous to the modern mind, d eftly subordinated. Mr. Will Brown, as the Friar Laurence. also gave a creditable performance. His make-up wa convincing. and the gravely mellow quality of his voice gave beauty and true rhythm t,) his lines.

Inauguration of New Movement for Men L AUNCHING OF HOLY NAME SOCIETY. In accordance with .the desire o f His Grace the Archbishop, expressed in a special letter to the men of the Archdiocese, which appeared in our columns last week, a special sermon was preached at each of the four Masses in the Cathedral on Sunday last. . Father Cahill, C.SS.R., who is or,ranising the movement in the Cathedral parish, was the preacher. He stressed the necessity of organising the Catholic men. Formerly they had only the Sacred Heart Sodality. which was more suitable to women. It was now proposed. through the establishment of the Holy Name Society to provide a movement which was essentially virile. The Holy Name Society had had remarkable success in the United States of America. where there was a total membership of 2.500,000. This had been achieved by organisation and what had been done there could be done here. The world was full of irreligion and anti-Christian tendencies. These, too, were strong because they were organised. If the Church were to prevail against modern tendencies and to continue as a vital force, a good deal depended upon the mass activity of the men. He appealed to them to give the Society their support and to enrol in its ranks, and to show a Catholic front to the world by wearing its badge. The women could assist greatly in this direction by encouraging their men-folk to join its ranks. . To-morrow (Sunday) will witness the inauugration of the Society, and the enrolment of members. This will take place in the Cathedral at 7.30 p.m. His Grace the Archbishop will preside, and Rev. Father Cahill will preach. It is hoped that every man in the Cathedral parish will he present to lend his active support to the Society. CLONTARF ORPHANAGE BALL. The next meeting of the Clontarf Ball Committee will be held at the King dward Hotel on Monday next. May 4. As already announced, the hall will he held on June 25, at An7ac House.

St. Gerard's,IPalmyra On Monday evening, 27th. ult., a large gathering of the parishioners ui St. Gerard's gathered in St. Gerard's Hall to bid farewell to Mr. and Mrs. Frank Carey, The farewell took the form of a social evening. There were several enjoyable items and Mrs. .Anderson, of Westbury Crescent, provided some excellent music for the dancing. On the stage were the Rev. Father Kearin, Mr. and Mrs, Carey, Mr. J. Blinco, Mr. O. Fitzgerald, Mr. E. Brown, and Mr. Tom Connolly. who acted as chairman. Each made appropriate addresses and Mr. and Mrs. Carey were presented with a very handsome clock as a parting gift, and as a token of the regard in which they are held, and an appreciation of their work for the parish. Mr, E. Brown was introduced as the new secretary, who is replacing Mr. Carey. Sunday, 3rd. inst., will be the month. ly meeting of the Sacred Heart Sodality at the devotions at 7.30, and next Sunday, 9th, inst., the Holy Name Society will hold their General Communion at the first Mass, and hold their meeting in the evening. We heartily congratulate two par. ishioners upon whom degrees have been conferred, Miss H. Hoad, BA., who has received the Diploma of Education, and Miss M. Yore, the B.A. De. gree. Both are pupils of the Sacred Heart Convent. Highgate. Miss May Fitzgerald has returned looking very fit after a holiday spent in Kalgoorlie. The children of St. Gerard's Primary.

But not a single man broke ranks, and the phalanx was intact when Senor Gil Robles ascended the rostrum at the conclusion of the Mass to address the gathering. Tumultuous cheers followed every part of the leader's speech, especially when he said:

This discourse was widely commented on in the Spanish press, so much so, that the Socialist elea provoke ments intended to crisis to destroy the democratic institutions in Spain. An eloquent sign, of the activities of the founder of "Popular Action" was his personal work among the young 'element.

ROBLES, MINISTER OF WAR In spite of their crushing def eat in November, 1933, the parties of the Left declared the new elected Cortes illegal and reacto Unable tionary, and called Senor Zamora to dissolve it. convince the President with such tactics, and even before the new Cortes assembled, a general strike was ordered; blood, destruction of property, and incendiary outbursts, followed, thus pzralysing public life all over the nation.

Neither to attack, nor to retreat." Senor Lerroux resigned once again, and another radical. Sam-
per, formed a new Government, much the same as the old. Over
this crisis however, Senor Lerroux achieved a great moral sucHe acted with abnegation cess. and patriotism, and in consequence he became the most popular Republican politician in Spain. Lerroux had resigned rather than allow the Socialists to seize power by force or dissolve the Cortes, but his recall, on October 1. 1934. to the head of the Ministry, on the eve of the Asturias revolt, made it necessary to admit for the first time three members of Senor Gil Robles' party. On October 4, the first majority Government took office, and at 12 o'clock midnight the Revolution broke out as a protest against the inclusion of "Popular Action" representatives in the Government. Was this a reasonable motive for Why should not a revolution? a party whose numerical strencrth in Parliament exceeds more than
a quarter of its elected members ,d1i.e part in the government of c.;untry? Who are these Re-
impose i-ublican-Socialists to vco on the men whom the 1935 General Election returned in
such vast numbers to the Cortes? The second reign of terror, which lasted a fortnight, was heralded by the parties of the Left all breaking away from the Republic they founded in April, 1931. The third Spanish Republic would be proclaimed in Barcelona under the Presidency of Senor Manuel Azana. Fortunately for Spain the revolt Was a failure; the leaders were arrested, hundreds fled to France. among The whole them Setior Prieto. Catalonian Government (Serum, A zana included) were also placed under arrest. The promptitude and determination with which it was finally crushed, on October 19, is due to two contributory causes, each of outstanding importance. These were the loyalty of the Army airid the complete disavowal and repudiation by the Spanish people of thei: the revolutionaries and politico-social ideals. The valour of the army was every celebrated in practically city and town throughout Spain by fetes in its honour and by a national subscription for the dc. pendents of the soldiers who gallantly sacrificed their lives defending the right of the people to be governed by their representa-
tives in the Cortes.
As this was
t he issue at stake, asserted repeatedly and without ambiguity by
the Socialists, both before and during the revolt, it is certainly more than passing strange that the so-called liberal press of England—England that prides herself on being the unassailable stronghold of Democracy —should hurl
its thunderbolts of censure at the Spanish Government and plead leniency and pardon for the assassins and their organisations that were gallantly thwarted in their nefarious attack on human liberty and civilisation.

Robles' motion, subscribed to by himself, and all the parties of the Right and Centre, to the effect that the sessions be suspended until the Revolution ended, he asked the Honourable Member for Salamanca, and Leader of the "Popular Action" Party, to address the House. The champion of Spanish democracy, in a short and brilliant address, ogered to the Government and the country a vote of confidence, to remain in power until the end of the revolt. It had been provoked and engineered by the Left-wing_ leaders. supported by foreign funds, declared in the Masonic lodges, and planned by Stalin's emissaries. Senor Goicoechea, the leader of ''Renovacion Espanola,- a monarchist minority, Senor Lamarnie de Clairac. the representative of the -Traditionalist party.- Senor Royo Villanova, for the "Agrarians," the Count of Romanones, Senor Primo de Rivera, the Fascist leader, spoke also endorsing the Catholic leader's attitude, The Premier. in summing up the speeches, thanked them for their support and offered it to Spain. On November 5, Parliament opened its doors again to the representatives of the nation, this time to debate the revolution, its causes, and its agents, and to pass sentence on the guilty. Gil Robles tried with all his might to outlaw the Socialist party, to submit the revolutionary leaders to a military trial, to close down revolutionary clubs and Left newspuapers, and to reform the public service, Normal life was soon resumed throughout the whole country. and the Lerroux Government, ably helped by all the parties, managed to surmount immense dithculties, aggravated by the disintegration of the Radical party, and the release from prison of Senor Azana and other troubles. The new year, 1935 opened with bright hopes for Senor Gil Robles and Spain. The %atalonian rebel leaders 'were condemned by the military to 34 years' imprisonment, the death sentence imposed by the same authorities on the Asturias revolutionary heads, and the number of Catholic members in the Cabinet had increased. But, above all, assent was given by Senor Zamora to the proposal of revising the Constitution, Due to the weakness of Zamora and Lerroux, the death sentences were commuted to imprisonment for life, and the Left Press and clubs were again allowed to function. The October Revolt, evidently, had not taught a sufficient lesson to the heads of the State. Senor Gil Robles, in May, succeeded in assuming the portfolio of the War Ministry. In his six months of office, he reorganised the Spanish Army w hich he found almost ruined, caused by the destructive measures of Senor Azana. Five or six generals who had been appointed by Senor Azana. for party reasons, were expelled from the forces. He appointed General Francisco Franco Generalissimo of the Army, General Manue Goded as Director General of the Military Airways; and General Joaquin Fanjul Under. Secretary for War.

THE RECORD.
Senor Lerroux, once the enemy of the Catholic leader, became so intimately friendly that, in his speeches he told the radicals that Senor Gil Robles would be his successor. On July 9. 1935, at a public meeting in Valen. cia Lerroux made an historical survey of the Spanish Republic. He said that the Socialists and its allies who undoubtedly helped to bring in the new regime, had broken all their promises and nearly destroyed the Republic in the October revolt, and not only the regime but Spain as well. He had helped to found the Republic, but he wanted a conservative system, while the Socialists and Senor Azana, who were responsible for all the suflerings of the country, stood for a Soviet prison. -Thanks to Gil Robles and his party, not only the regime but also Spain had survived. He hoped that the Catholic leader would succeed him." (To he c'Ontinued.)

It is considered that the time has now come to settle the question one way or the other. Ti it is the function of the League to simply register decisions previously arrived at behind the dos. ed doors of some secret lodge, then it would be far better for the Catholic nations to cease lending the moral support of their presence to the League. All their resources of diplomacy will be used by the Lodges to prevent open discussion of the question, but public opinion in Ireland is bent on having an open and honest answer to the question—one wav or the other.

CONFECTIONERY SECTION—GROUND FLOOR STREET END.
It is reported from Dublin that a resolution of far-reaching importance is to be tabled before the League of Nations by the Irish Representatives on that body. The resolution is to demand that in future, membership of any secret society whatsoever shall debar a man or woman from haying voting powers at, or being a delegate to. a League meeting, or from being an official of that body. This resolution is prompted by the view held in general by all parties in Ireland that the League of Nations is being manipulated by the Masonic Society for its own ends, viz., the setting up of a world moral authority as a rival to the Catholic Church. The fact that when a League committee was being set up to consider the Italian question last Autumn. a leading Freemason, Benesh, was, from behind closed doors suddenly elected to the chair, in opposition to the fayOurite, and a Catholic, de Valera, did not escape notice or comment here.

Questions by a Non-Catholic. U ) "By a recent law, made by men in 1908, your Church makes it a sin for a Catholic to marry IR a Protestant Church." Reply: It has always been a_ sin for a Catholic to marry in a Protestant church. But in Australia, prior to April 19, 1908, such marriages, though sinful, were regarded as valid by the Catholic Church. Since 1908 such marriages are invalid- If a Catholic wishes to contract a valid marriage now, he must do so in the Catholic Church. This law is not a new law. Wherever the Church was solidly established. the Church applied this law. And the law was applied to Australia on April 19, 1908, by what is known as the Ne Temere Decree. As for its being a man-made law, you forget that Christ commissioned His Church to legislate for the well-being of the Sacraments, and of those who would receive them. If the State can say, "Unless you come before my Registrar, your marriage will be regarded as null and void." sc., the Catholic Church can say, "Unless your marriage comes before my official minister, as far as I am concerned, I shall consider it no marriage." And God sanctions the view of the Church in this matter rather than any legislation of the State. Christ elevated the natural contract of matrimony to the dignity of a Sacrament. and it is as much a Sacrament as Baptism. Confirmation, Ordination, or any other. And as such it belongs to the Church. (2) "If two Protestants, married in a Protestant church, get a divorce, could one of the parties marry a Catholic in the Catholic Church. provided he or she becomes- a Catholic?" Reply. No. The marriage of two Protestants in a Protestaty church is valid before God, and nothing can dissolve that marriage except the death of one of the parties. Divorce does not gave even such Protestants the r ight to marry again, while both parties are still living, and becoming a Catholic has no effect upon the validity of such a marriage. "Soldier" (Perth) : "Would the Pope approve of war against the Soviet to bring hack Russian Catholic, to the faith?" Reply: No. The Catholic Church does not rely upon force of arms to propagate the Catholic faith or win hack deserters.

What of Enclosed Retreats?
une of the chief pleasures in each generation has consisted in the inclination and abifity to deplor e the decadence of one's age. But it has proved a singularly unsati sfying pleasure by reason of the essential facility which fallen man has inherited of detecting-7the taint of the Fall in his fellow -men. It has not postelated any piercing intuition and still less any deeply analytical quality of mind. Few have been able, with any accuracy, to press past superficial effects to seize upon effective causes. In our own day this has potent application to the question of social reform. In a broad liberal analysis, however, the solution which the Prophet Jeremias re#ched long centuries ago, lies of our most/pressing modern difficulties. still at the root of most "With desolation is the whole world made desolate, becaus e no man considereth in his heart." Now it is especially to our purpose to weigh Catholic difficulties, and in this regard, the modern distaste for serious thought impels us to examine the increasingly acceptable solution of the enclosed Retreat. * * In so far as a Retreat consists in a series of days spent in silence and meditation, it is as Old as Christianity, and Christ's own fast in the solitude outside Jericho has found many o f the Church's history. From this imitati imitators in all ages on sprang up the eremitical life. But to St. Ignatius Loyola was specially reserved the r estoratioo of the practice of Retreats as they are known in their modern significance. In his "Spiritual Exercises," the Saint combined methods of reforming one's life and chiefly through the election of a state of seeking the will of God life and by attachment to the Person of Christ. This was achieved by a planned series of meditations which put forth the Christian truths--at first the eradication of sin and then the positive structure of -the Christian life— with striking cogency and force. In his original conception of the Retreat, it was intended to be made by the individual alone. and only once in a• life-time. But the very shiftiness of modern life commends very strongly the practice of annual Retreats and - there is definite value about the communal practice. • • The enclosed Retreat, made annually. aims to remedy the two radical difficulties which beset the spiritual life of everybody Indifferentism, which is the arch-enem y of religion, arises out oi these obstacles if they be not promptly and regularly set in order. Firstly, amid the complexity of modern conditions, one is apt easily to lose sight of one's goal or, anyhow, to get the .perspective warped. This is especially true where the right ly the easy and pleasant thing. Consta thing is not incidentalntly conscious that the rational man has a definite one has to be made and sublime destiny to work out, irrespective of feelings or emotional revolt. And, secondly, once this important matter of motive has been put before the intellect and absorbed, the \ vill has then to renew its driving force. It is the executive of the mind. But according as intellectual reasons are dimmed or supern atural motives compromised, so the will tends to grow flabby and fickle." In both these matters, the enclosed Retreat is the supremely effective, if not the sole, remedy. Through the conferences and meditations ,the Christian mind referbishes its goal, motives prayer and the Sacraments the will is and. perspective, • and by once more fortified to carry on for another year. • _ 41-• ••••U.

The urgent importance of enclosed Retreats for the laity has 'Men stressed and restressed by the Popes. Nor is it merely a pious suggestion. From many angles. the numerical strength and c ertainly the vitality of Catholicism appears to hang on the success & this movement. Small beginnings have been made locally in schools and among a few ex -students' groups. But, in view of its otit-' anding importance, development in this direction is tardy and dislppointing. The onus is upon the office-bearers of our Catholic -ocieties to commence and maintain in their own ranks a cease" ag-itat;on. so that in a short time enclo.sed Retreats for socieies will be as much an accepted feature of the w;n!,a csasoii as. for example. dancing is. The time is at hand when 1-:lure in this matter will brand a society as an oddity in the in :ts potentialities for the Church as a whole.

The Church was tile Pioneer The visit to this State of Colonel J. Sleeman, Chief Commissioner of the St. John Ambulance Brigade overseas, has concentrated public attention and press publicity upon the important, and usually unobtrusive, place which the Ambulance Corps play in the life of the community. Oddly enough, however, very tittle appears in the papers about the vast historical development of these philanthropic movements from Catholic beginnings, and of the work which the Church still perpetuates in this direction. In regard to the St. John's Ambulance, for example, it should be interesting to the general public to know this manifestation of the Christian spirit in the sick first blossomed in the Catholic Church a thousand years ago. when the military order of the Hospitallers of St. John ministered to the needs of the pilgrims in their xenodochia at Jerusalem. An then, in the latter half of the sixteenth century, was born that extraordinary Saint. Camillus de Lellis, who became the actual founder of the Red Cross and the originator of Field Ambulances Right through the history of monasticism, of course, hospital, were inevitably parts of the monasteries set aside for the care of the sick both .in the community and outside. The origin of city hospitals. however, is attributable to Guy de Montpelier. whose work was taken up by Pope Innocent III., and centralised in Rome. Nor were these Imspitals crude and unscientific, as it pleases modern vanity to believe. They knew a great deal more abotit t•ntilation. sanitation, water supply. etc.. in the thirteenth century' than when the much-vaunted Renaissance appeared Tier pagan ao)eement with its adoration of the body, tried to thrust :ickness and disease into unnoticed places, and hence brough t 11,, ,itt tin degradation of hospitals. The charity of the Church it was that brought them again into the light. =z

The following were consecrated: Peggie PaUlster, Veronica McEncroe, Joan Quinn, Gloria Phipps, Nellie Kennedy, Patricia Sydney Smith, Leonore Hunt, Constance Davis, Agnes Duffy, Agnes Patterson, Doris lies, Josie Dorizzi, Marion Durkin, Ursula Harney. Mary Armanasco, and Monica Duffy, Children's Ball. On Thursday next, May 7, the children's plain and fancy ball will be held in the Swan-street Hall.

On Sunday last, we met the Old Boys in a social match at Melville, and were narrowly defeated.

On Sunday, May 3, we are playing the Chidlow football team on their home ground. The truck will leave from Parry-street at 10.15 a.m. sharp. Dance. Our opening dance of the season, which took the form of a Snow Carnival, went off in good style. We did not, however, receive the support which was expected from our men patrons, but steps have been taken to r emedy this defect and our dance on Friday, May 8, will be well worth at. tending.

The New Committee. In the presence of one or the largest meetings we have had for a long time, the elections for the new com. naittee took place last Tuesday, and resulted as follows: President, M.

In announcing the result of the elec. tions, the president congratulated the newly-elected members, and impressed upon them the importance of their respective positions. In conclusion, Mr. Petersen thanked - the past committee for its services during the last year, and made special references to the services of the former vice-president, Mr. McMullen, and the former secretary, Mr. J. Fogarty, neither of whom, owing to pressure of other interests, sought re-election. Football, This week-end sees the opening of the football season, and we are once again taking the field full of hope and confident that we are going to finish at the top of the pole this year. We were pleased to see an improve. rnent in the roll-up at training last Tuesday and Thursday, and hope that members will continue the good work during the season.

Poll Closes at 7 p.m., on Saturday, May 9 Few citizens have greater claim to the support of Electors than Mr. L. B. Bolton, who will seek re-election on Saturday, May 9th. As representative of the Metropolitan Electors - for the past four and a half years in the Legislative Council, his democratic and broadminded demeanour has won him great praise. For thirty years his public service to the State in all phases of its development have been outstanding, and he has shown his faith in the State's future through the erection of one of the most up-to-date factories in the Commonwealth, where nearly two hundred hands are emplosted. In addition, Mr. Bolton conducts an 11,000-acre model farm at Nam ban. Therefore he is well acquainted with this State's requirements in the angles of both primary and secondary industries. His work as Vice-President and President of the W.A. Chamber of Manufactures, and as one of the Founders and first President of the W.A. Products League, and as Executive member of the Boys' Employment League. and acting Chairman of Mr. T. C. Chandler's Boys' Settlement Scheme, together with work in connection with the Council of Industries, has earned the highest appreciation of all sections of the community. Mr. Bolton also represented all Australian Manufacturers on the Gold Bonus Delegation to Canberra, the result of which is widely benefiting the State to-day. During recess, Mr. Bolton travelled extensively in the United Kingdom. holia and the Near East, and tised his endeavour seecesefelly in sonnection with the expansion of Overseas Trade ;'or this State. / Authorised by V.

THE LATE MR. M. T. MURPHY. We announce with deep regret th( sudden death of Mr. M. T. Murphy. one of Southern Cross' oldest businesmen, who died at his home on Sunday. 19th. ult., at 7.30. Mure‘hy had just completed a shower bath and collapsed in the bath. room. Dr. Shanahan was quickly on the scene, but Mr. Murphy succumbed shortly afterwards. Father Planas administered the last Sacraments. Mr. Murphy was born in Tralee, Ireland- in 1566, and migrated to Australia in 1886, at the age of 20 years. He started his career in Ballarat and was later living at Geelong. In 1896 Mr Murphy came to the West and entered the firm of Messrs. Foy and Gibson, of Perth, After 16 years with that firm he launched out for himself in Kalgoorlie. Here he met with success, but was attracted by the Bullfinch boom in 1910, and set up business there. With the end of the short-lived boom he started again in Southern Cross. It was in Railway Town in the premises now occupied by Mr. A. Gatherer:s office, that Mr. Murphy first started his Southern Cross business. In 1925 he opened in partnership with Mr. P. T. McMahon, the Universal Stores, which quickly became one of Southern Cross' leading business houses. It was just before this time that Mr. Murphy was married to Miss K. McGarry, of Toodyay, who now survives him. In 1933 the Universal Stores were disposed of, and Mr. Murphy retained a portion of the big stores as a draper. A year or two later he moved across the street to his present site. Mr. Murphy held the keen reepect of his fellow business men and of the people of the district. He was a quietly religious man and a practical Catholic. Of late he could be seen pausing on his way to work admiring the new church rapidly taking shape and doubtless looking forward to the opening on Sunday, 26th. inst., which he was never destined to see. The Funeral One of the largest gatherings seen for many years followed the remains of the late Mr. M. Murphy to the Catholic portion of the Southern Cross Cemetery on Monday afternoon. The cortege moved away from his residence promptly at 3 p.m., the coffin being borne by Messrs. P. T. McMahon, T. Maloney, V. Edwards, K. F. W. Hayes, P. J. O'Brien, and Dr. P. W. Shanahan. Mrs. Murphy followen, supported by Miss D. Sheehan_ a daughter of a very old friend of the late Mr. Murphy, and Miss E. Ma. loney. The procession slowly travelled the short distance to St. Joseph's Church, where Rev. Father Planas read the service and delivered a short panegyric. Mr. Murphy, said Father Platers, had been an old and respected member of the community and they had suffered a very great loss in his death. He had been a staunch Catholic and it could be said with St. Paul that he had ' ought a goon fight.Preceded by Father Planas and his attendants, the cortege then moved to the cemetery. Amongst the many floral tributes there were the following cards: His sorrowing wife and brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. S. Carlson, Mr. and Mrs. Gatherer, Mr. and Mrs. G. Henderson, Mr. and Mrs. R. W.

Parish of Toodyay Popular Lady Competitiau• Here we are again with another big drive towards the liquidation of our central debt. Having satisfied both the girls and men with a degree of popularity, there now comes a turn for the ladies. I should think so! And who are the aspiring candidates? The Wongamine-Jennacubbine section will be represented by a real church worker in the person at Mrs. Pat Bowen. If it's a quetsion of experience, then Mrs, Bowen has it, and she is determined to be second to none. This good lady has a host of relations and admirers in the district, and they will be with her to a man. Besides the local helpers, Mrs. Bowen will have the generous and capable assistance of, Mrs. II. Corbett, of Perth, and the Misses A. and A. Hassell, of T oodyay. In Toodyay itself two candidates have entered the lists. One is our old fritnd, Miss M. J. Wood, who tinds that church work is the beat health tunic and keeps her young. Miss Wood has many times worked to popularise others in the past, and now her friends declare that the crown should be hers this year. Amongst her many supporters are Mrs. G. Proud and Mrs. R. Taylor. The fancy stall will be "a thing of beauty and a joy for ever - when the October bazaar comes round. The other local candidate is Mrs. E. Chapman, whose stall (Jumble) is in the capable hands of Mrs. S. Lloyd and Mrs. L. Thompson. All three have declared that "the pace will be a cracker,- for what they may lack in experience. they certainly have in determination and good will. The "down-the -line- part of the parish will be ably represented by new blood in the person of Miss Boyd, of the Wooroloo nursing staff. This centre has twice been victorious in the past, and is not content to rest on its laurels, The same generous co-opera. tion of Dr. Mitchell, Matron Dunne, of the staff and patients, and of the whole district from Clackline to the Weir, will, we know, be again forth. c orning. Miss Boyd will therefore be a formidable opponent to contend kith, especially with the experienced assistance of Sister Ii. Coffey and others. Prize Packet. Our 1936 prize packet commences on May 17. Already the card holders are at work canvassing subscribers. Competition should be keen, as the candidates will benefit to the extent of the subscribers they canvass • Functions, A successful euchre and dance, in airl of Miss Woods' candidature, was held in Toodyay on Saturday, April IS, and the proceeds of a pleasant euchre evening on Wednesday. April 29 counted for Mrs. E. Chapman. *Jennacubbine has arranged for a dance on behalf of Mrs. P. Bowen, to take place next month. whilst the parishioners of Baker's Hill intend hold. ing a function in June for the candidature of Mi% Boyd.

THE RECORD.
Saturday, May 2, 1935.
rte.,
I DISPLAY MY IGNORANCE. With feelings slightly mixed I offer herewith an apology to "Father Christmas." of Bunbury. for haying so inelegantly termed one of his dainty gifts a mere "typewriter brush," whereas I find it is a most classy and stylish hat whisk, such as those ladies who delight in pinning on the inverted saucer of felt and straw to the extreme of the right eyebrow would glory in possessing. It all o.mies from wearing a bonnet instead of a hat,I suppose. and I would still be innocent of having committed a faux pas had not Sandy's chaperon entered my office when I was busy at my machine. Sandy's chaperon is nothing if not stylish—she says she feels she has to be because of being so closely connected with Sandy, so as I felt certain my new "typewriter brush" would make her look twice. I drew it out from the drawer and etarted to brush off the blue type from the metal. " Whatever have you got there?" she queried.
WELCOME MONTH OF MARY. There is a character in the story ot Alice in Wonderland who goes under the charinful name of "The Queen of ;karts," but that same lady was not so harmful if all we read be true. There ie, however, one sinless and beautiful Lady who can in all truth have that appellation given Her- -She from whose Immaculate Heart was drawn the blkiod that started the pulsations of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and to Her all Catholic hearts and eyes and minds tern as once again the calendar ushers in the month. of May- which is the Month of Mary to all Our Blessed Lady's children. 0 welcome be the month, sweet Queen of heaven, That we, thy children, honour as thine own, When, free from all ot earthly sinful leaven. Our thoughts wing upwards towards thy starry throne There in the King's own court we see thee reigning. A s feebly to its light our way we grope. Thou art the lure who, not the least disdaining. Dost draw us on in faith and love and hope. It is a marvellous thing that with ai. the wonders of grace which God ha, endowed Our Lady she still attracts us With all the intimate tenderness of an earthly mother, her unseen presence tilling still this sin-stained earth with its heavenly holiness and purity, the steady gleaming of her virtues still shedding the influence that makes the holy more holy still, and the sinful less despairing when the consciousness ef their wrongdoing frightens their repentant souls. To Her we run when joyousness of God's many favours sets upon our lips an echo of her own Magnificate to Her we run when those we count on fail us, and when sorrows weigh us down• and always we find Her the same serene and beautiful Blessed Lady. understanding us in our every mood and chastening or making us courageous as She sees our need. How we should love Her and how Non. we should thank God for Her Catholics are se much poorer for not haying the faith in and devotion to Our Lady that we are so privileged in having. hut if they knew Her protective love and Her constant consola. t ons as we know them, they perhaps would rival us in doing Her honour. No member of a family that honours its mother likes to feel that he or she is slow to prove their love and loyalty, and We would be sensitive if a brother or sister could assert that their affection was on a higher plane than our< Still more should this be so where Our Heavenly Mother is concerned, for She merits all our love and •gratitiide, and merits, too, any and every sacrifice we could make to prove both, so may this Month of May be to us all the Month of Mary Our Mother, a month of thirty-one fervent days which. ending. on Pentecost Sunday. will find Our Queen enthroned in the cenacle of our hearts. and meriting for Its by 11-r Pure Presence there, the graces of the /Ioly Glint whose lovable and lovely Snouse she is.
"Oh, I forgot you hadn't been in. troduced- meet Lady de Vere'" said I. proudly standing my china lady friend up to meet admiration. If I had said nothing else I might have cloaked my ignorance. but wishing to pay tribute to Father Christmas of Bunbury, I continued: "Now, isn't she the dinkiest little typewriter char. lady you could set eyes on?" and inviting closer admiration I held her up to display how perfectly she had gathered all the clogging blue tepe on to her dainty yellow skirts. "Typewriter brush!" said the chap. eron in disgust, "Why. Aunt Bessv. where have you been rusticating? Surely you know that is a ladies' hat whisk. and my birthday is on the 27th. May!" Followed groans in the gallery as with an abashed face (at least I thint. it was that kind of a face) I realised that my acknowledgement of the gift was already in print, and that I had tieli'ielv thanked the donor for another

type brush. But Father Christmas, this is for yourself alone. The Lady V ere d2 Vere has successully passed through a chloride of lime operation. and all traces of the -disfiguring blue ribbon having entirely disappeared, 1 am seriously thinking of presentiog her to Sandy's chaperon for ttle 27th. May, as I rarely wear a hat. an,l. It would be a shame to keep her in this t.- 2ty prosaic atmosphere, don't you think? ever Maybe next time, if ther2 i going to be a next time, you will tell me the nature of your gift if it is something of the present day rnAnufacture. for being a person that becomes quickly attached, I am finding it just a bit hard to part with her ladyship.
Dear Gaultier,—If you are whom I suspect you to be, your silence is quite excusable, as I presume you have been getting "in- on your new surroundings, but. of course, the act of atonement you so generously enclosed is most acceptable, and I am most thankful for it. It will not be long now until my poor Sandy's fate is sealed, and I do not mind in what direction he goes as long as he falls into the hands of someone who will love him as much as I do. AUNT BESSY.
A C KN0 WLEDGMENTS. • Acknowledgments have been received for a cheque of E20 from Mother M Augustine, Loreto Convent, Osborne. towards the expenses of the Correspondence Lessons conducted from her centre, and for cheque of £10 from the Sister in Charge, Convent of Mercy, Leonora- and grateful thanks are extended to the Cornerites whose benefactions to the Busbies' Fund made the payments possible.
Collie, Dear Aunt Bessy,—I am enclosing a small donation for the Bushes, and could you please send me a book of tickets on Sandy. We'd love him to come to Collie. Best wishes from. -A CANNY SCOT." Dear Canny Scot,—Scotland could do much to improve this Corner if a few more of her countrymen of your stamp would become naturalised Cornerites. for your - canny-ness" is not toe bad when it inspires you to send me half a crown and an invitation for a book on our Sandy. I'm sure Rev. Dr. McMahon doesn't realise yet what a lot of disappointment he will be responsible for on June 3rd., but as we can't all win our wee Scotch lad, we can only pray that some constant and loyal helper of the Bushies will have good luck. AUNT BESSY.
A RECOMMENDATION. Cornerites ase reminded to exercise ordinary care when enclosing paper money in letters posted to Aunt Bessv. So often letters are received with a postal note carelessly slipped in be. tween the letter and envelope. so that it is quite discernible before the envelope is opened—this method only leaves the way open to the loss of All money should be the donation. folded in carefully with the letter, and where the amount sent is valuable, a cheque er money order is preferable to note!.

Dear Aunt Bessy,—At last the Queen appears again, but only for a short while. I am sending you a card with the necessary 2/6. This card was very generously filled in by Mr. Lang Hackett. My kindest regards to Sandy McDougall. I have tickets on him. (Don't misconstrue my meaning—I'm referring to the raffle.) Best wishes to yourself and Tiddles.—Yours sincerely. . "QUEEN OF HEARTS." Dear Queen of Hearts,—Sandy would be awfully nervous if he thought you had tickets on him, other than the paper ones, for how could he be sure you would not say on a sudden, "off with his head," and, believe me, Sandy minus his head, would be only a doormat, or at the best, a white rabbit. I am so glad you have made your 1938 appearance, and though I have not had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Lang Hackett, would you tell him I was delighted to meet his two and sixpence? Thank you for introducing my green card to it. Your Majesty has some very nice ways. AUNT BESSY, V asse-road, South Bunbury.

ORPHANS OF THE LIVING, W e think of orphans only ts the little girls and lads Who haven't any mothers or who haven't any dads. They are grouped with other children and in groups they're put to bed With some stranger, paid to listen, when their little prayers are said. All the grown-ups look with pity on such lonely children small And declare to be an orphan is the saddest fate of all.

Reading for the Home THE APPEAL OF CHRIST FROM THE GOSPEL PAGES.
But sometimes.' look about me and in sorrow hang my head As I gaze on something sadder than the orphans of the dead. For more pitiful and tragic, as the long days come and go, Are the orphans of the parents they are not allowed to know. They're the orphans of the living, left alone to romp and play, From their fathers and their mothers by ambition shut away. They have fathers who are busy and so weighted down with cares That they haven't time to listen to a little child's affairs. They have mothers who imagine life could give them if it would Something richer, something better than the joys of motherhood. So their children learn from strangers and by strangers' hands are fed, And the nurse, for so much money, nightly tucks them into bed. Lord, I would not grow so busy that I cannot drop my task To answer every question which that child of mine can ask. Let me never serve ambition here so selfishly, I pray, That I cannot stop to listen to the things my children say. For whatever cares beset them, let them know I'm standing by, I don't want to make them orphans till the day I come to die, —Edgar A. Guest. SAVE MONEY on Stoves, Coppers. Baths.

When Our Lady returned home to Nazareth after three months spent with Elizabeth in the south, it was at once apparent to St. Joseph that she was soon to be a mother. He became the victim of the most frightful menial anguish and puzzlement. for he knew hi;.; betrothed to be of the highest virtue and nobility of character. What was he to do? Among the Jews the engagement between a couple was as sacred as the marriage bond, but. like 't, could he dissolved for a sufncient ly grave reason. Althoupt ti-e Act of Separation was public in its nature, vet in certain cases usage allowed of its being drawn up in secret. .Toseph choose this plan in his anxiety to do vshat seemed right, and at the same time to spare Mary from humiliation and public infamy.

about 80 years later, at least two of the Evangelists went to the trouble of looking up the genealogical tables of Bethlehem. Hence it is that St. Matthew and St. Luke both give genealogies of Our Lord, but from different angles. The former, with tke viewpoint of showing Our Lord as the Messiah, and hence giving only Joseph's royal ancestry, w hile the latter, writing for the Gentiles, traces His lineage up to t he first man and thus to God Himself. Su then, to inscribe himself in the public registers, the carpenter of Nazareth quitted his native hills of Zabulon. The little shop was closed up and it would be years before they would reture either there ot to the little hill-side home. Joseph's young wife went with hint. Everything drew her to Bethlehem. Her affection for Joseph, his charge of guardianship over her, but above all, the knowledge of Micheas' prophecy that the Messiah was to be born in Bethlehem. Probably, as a great many Northerners would have to travel south, there would be caravans. The route would probably have been the direct one through Samaria, as large numbers precluded molestation from their hereditary enemies the Samaritans. In any case it meant a journey of at least five or six days. It was w inter and entailed a good deal of hardship. Joseph and Mary were poor and human. They suffered too. But worse things lay ahead. Leaving behind the plain of Esdraelon. El-Gannin, Sichem and Sion, about two hours from the last named town they caught sight of the first dwellings on the outskirts of Bethlehem. (To be Continued.)
How lung God permitted St. J oseph the grief of this trial we do not. know, but when he was on the point of carrying the separation into effect, an Angel ot God appeared to him in sleep and revealed to him the astonishing mystery of the Incarnation, and commanded. hint to make Mary his wife without delay. Eager to repair the unmerited outrage which Mary had suffered in his thoughts, the marriage was at once arranged, and she who was in fact the Spouse of the Holy Ghost became known to the townsfolk of Nazareth as the wife of Joseph the carpenter. But, says St. Luke. "he knew her not till she brought forth her first-born son." This text does not imply, as some have sacrilegiously hinted, that Our Lady had other children besides Our Lord. Christian tradition has always shrunken with horror from the thought THOUGHTS FOR THE that Marv. whose taintless blood WEEK. had mingled with the blood of a Monday : The great sin is not God, could ever have forfeited the so much in falling as in staying purity of God's tabernacle.

'hat it was time to send missionaries there. He began hi; campaign on behalf of the missions o f Oceania with a decree of January 16. 1830, naming Msgr. Henry de Solages Prefect Apostolic of the Islands of Bourbon. The Cardinal became Pope Gregory XVI. in 1831, and he c ontinued. as Pope. the work w hich he had begun as Prefect o f Propaganda and by the end o f his pontificate. in 1846. the Catholic Church was firmly es. tahlished all over the Pacific.

The Society of Mary this y_eai t t!e With anliversary of the departure ut its tivst group o f missionaries for the islands of the South Seas. A Mai ist t)ishop with four priests and three brothers began the lc,n..4 voyage to Oceania in the allt1111111 of 1836, a few months liter receiving from Pope Gregory N \' 1. the mandate to begin to build up the Church in all the islands :f the North and South Pacific, west o f the Cook Islands, a section of the world in which to-day there are 416,130 Catholics with 681 priests. 358 brothers, and 2,411 s isters. The first Mass in Australia had been celebrated in 1803 Father James Dixon, an Irish priest, unjustly sent to the convict colony in New So n \Vales on a charge of complicit' in the Insurrection of 1798. After repeated representations he had obtained the privilege of saying M ass once a month unOei very annoying restrictions: but this privilege was withdrawn after a year. In 1821, when the period of comparative liberty bega.r., priests came from Europe to look after the European Cath(lics in Australia. But the one million natives of Australia, and the even more numerous islanders ot the Pacific, particularly those south of the Equator. were stiL without priests. Cardinal Cappellari, who was Prefect of the Sacred Congregation of Propaganda Fide from 1826 to 1831. took a special inferest in the missions of Ocean'i European explorers and traders had begun to traverse the Pacific in all directions; Protestant ministers were already liN;ng on some of the islands; and he felt
On _rune 8, 1833, he created the Vicariate .-.postolic of Eastern Oceania. the first vicariate of Oceania. which extended east and west from Easter Island to the Cook Islands. inclnding- all the known islands from Hawaii 5,mth to the polar regions. and he entrusted this enormous tills-.ion to the Picpus Fathers. W hen the news.of Msgr. de St lages' tragic death reached Propaganda. the Vicar General of Lyons, Rev. P. Cholleton, suggested that the young Society of Mary. of which he \'as the protector. be asked to supply a man. Up to that time, the Venerable J ohn, C. M. Colin, founder of the Marls's, and his 20 confreres. had engaged solely in preaching missions and directing the seminary of Belley. In the tentative constitutions of the Society, which were presented at Rome in 1833, he had mentioned foreign missions, as well as preaching and education, as the purpose of the society, but he and his associates did not believe that they were organised sufficiently to undertake missionary work in a remote part of the world. Such an extraordinary undertaking caused them some worry at first, but since it had been proposed by their superiors, entirely unforeseen and tinasked for by themselves, they decided to accept it. Papal Bull, dated May 13, 1830. entrusted to the Marists the evangelisation of the northern and southern Pacific west of a line passing through the Cook Islands. A fortnight before, on April 29, 1836, the Society of Mary had been formally approved in a Papal Bull, "Omnium Gentium." which recalled the fact that the society had accepted the task of undertaking mis' ions in Oceania and which fixed as its purpose "to promote the glory of God and the honour of His Blessed Mother, to extend the Church of Rome, by means of education or missions, even to t he most distant shores of the earth." This bull gave the members the right of electing a Superior General and of taking t he vows of religion.

Pere Cohn immediately designated the missionaries who were t o accompany Bishop Pompalher, naming four priests. Fathers Chanel, Bret, Bataillon. awl Servant, and three lay brothers. Brothers Francis Xavier. M ary-Nicetius, and Michael. When he made these appointments he had not yet been elected Superior General. nor had the first members of the Society taken their vows: the profession and the election took place on September 24, 1836. The following month the little hand destined for the Pacific prepared to leave. Bishop Pompallier celebrated he Mass of Departure in the Church of Fourvteres. at Lyons. Father Bataillon held a little silver-gilt heart bearing the names o f the departing missionaries as a token of their consecration to Our Lady of Fourvieres, and on t he eve of the departure front Lyons. Father Chanel, ‘vhc ‘i7as t o become the proto-martyr of Oceania. tied the little heart ab4mt the neck of the Infant in the arms of Our Lady's statue at the shrine. In October the missionaries were at Le Havre, and on Christmas Eve. 1836. they sailed away on the Delphine singing "Ave Mans Stella." In the 100 years which have elapsed since then, 700 missionaries have followed them to the Pacific. Missionaries of other societies have also come to their aid, and the Vicariate of Western Oceania of 1836 has been divided over and over again. In 1842 Propaganda detached a part which was. erected into the V icariate of Cental Oceania; in 1844 the two Vicariates of Micronesia and Melanesia were erected; finally the Dioceses of Auckland and Wellington, in New 4ealand. were created, and then the original name of the Vicariate was abolished. In 1848 the Marists still had charge of the Vicariates of Central Oceania, Melanesia, Micronesia, and the Diocese of Wellington. Secular priests called from Europe by Bishop Pompallier took over the Diocese of Auckland. The two large vicariates of Melanesia and Micronesia, which were at first staffed and directed bv the Marists, later passed to the. Missionaries of Milan, and in 1856. on advice from Rome, these missions were abandoned to be taken up again when tittles should become more .favourable; both bishops and a large number of missionaries had died there, either carried off by tropical fevers or killed by savages. The better days came more than 30 years later. In 1889 the Vicariate of Melanesia was divided into the two Vicariates of British New Guinea (now

The immense Vicariate Apostolic, towards which Bishop Pompallier and his little band sailed in the winter of 1836-37, has, in the course of a century, been divided into 15 vicariates and four dioceses. In these v icariates there are to-day 352 priests. of whom. 14 are natives. 254 brothers (49 natives), and 750 sisters (265 natives). looking after 233,416 Catholics in a population of 1,364.146.
