Notice to Teachers
VERY REV. FATHER NEVILLE, 0-M.I.
It is the wish of His Grace the Archbishop that copies of School Reports be sent immediately after the State Inspector'S visit to the Rev. Dr. McMahon, South Perth, and not direct to the Archbishop as many schools have been doing. The reports will be submitted by Dr. McMahon to His Grace, and afterwards filed for future reference and comparisons. This request of His Grace applies to all schools, boys and girls, visited by the State Inspectors.
Father Neville Replies, Father Neville, who was greeted with enthusiastic applause, said amidst laughter, that he was half afraid he would miss the boat if the function continued much longer. Nevertheless he appreciated very much indeed the honour that large gathering had paid him. Much as he would have liked to deserve it, he felt that the honour w as rendered not so much to him personally as to his position as a priest and as a member of the Oblate Fathers who had charge of their spiritual interests in Fremantle. As far as their services to Fremantle went. he felt that in an age given to recounting records, he could claim two such. He was the shortest Oblate ever to be sent amongst them, and the longest to remain. (Laughter.) He was not tired of Fremantle yet. and he felt he never would be. The people of Fremantle were good enough for him, and he felt that they were not tired of him either. (Applause.) His t.wenty..eight years amongst them had been very happy indeed. and that was due to their continual and hearty co-operation with the Oblate Fathers in all things connected with the welfare of religion and education in the parish. Reference had been made to the possibility of his not returning to Fremantle. Of course he did not know what his Superiors would do, but they had only recently appointed him for a further three years, and as far as he knew there was no likelihood of that appointment being revoked. He hope' ft that there was no danger of that, for it was his ambition to return and continue his work amongst them. (Applause).
Anniversaries of Papal Encyclicals TO BE OBSERVED BY U.S.A. According to a dispatch from Wash. ington, elaborate arrangements were made for a nation-wide observance of t wo of the greatest of the Church's pronouncements on Social Justice on May 9 and 18. The anniversaries, which fell on May 15 were the 45th, of "Rerum Novarumof Leo XIII„ and the 5th. of "Quadragesimo Anno" of the present Holy Father. The National Catholic Welfare Conference had arranged for observance of the anniversaries in schools and colleges, by lay organisations, study clubs, Catholic Action groups, Industrial conferences, and special diocesan meetings. Letters .were also sent to radio stations and to producers of Catholic radio programmes asking that the observance of the anniversaries he given a special place in their broadcasts. Mr. Edwin 011ara, Episcopal Chairman of the Department of Social Action, National Catholic Welfare 'Conference, speaking of the two' Encyclicals, said: "They are the -world's outstanding pronouncements on the cause, nature. and cure of the economic evils which beset modern man; and grievous as those evils still are, the word of the Pontiff have exercised a most profound influence upon society." -

For years governments have been tackling the problem, but the so-called sorcerers, secret societies and magical practices continue to hold sway over large numbers of natives. It is felt that Catholic missionaries. having personal and constant contact with the natives, may have much to contribute towards the solution of the problem. and that in any case a pooling of their experiences and ohF.erea. tions will help their apostolate.

INSPECTOR'S EXCELLENT REPORT. --- Charitable Work of the Sisters of Mercy. As a result of a recent inspection of St. Joseph's Orphanage and Foundling Home. Subiaco, the State Inspector, Mr, Coleman, has issued the following e xcellent reports. It is very gratifying for Catholics to have confirmed by the State Inspector what they already know as regards the care and efficiency- of the Sisters of Mercy in their highly charitable work of looking after the orphans and foundlings: Report on Orphanage School. "I am very pleased to have had the opportunity of examining the work of this school—not forgetting the adjunct In St. Vincent's Foundling Hume. both departments—the Kindergarten at the latter institution and throughout the Girls' Orphanage—the work is distinctly creditable to all concerned. Words fail to convey the full sense of the benefits, moral and intellectual, which this institution confers upon its inmates and all the workers concerned deserve the highest praise for their unselfish, tireless work. "The efficiency in the class-room subjects is very good and is sufficiently well indicated on the separate class sheets. "I have enjoyed my visit and have nothing but praise for the institution, its staff and the noble work it is ,-arrying on."

The first official meeting of the Cathedral Branch of the Society was held during devotions on Sunday evening. After Rosary, Very Rev. Father Kelly gave an inspiring address on the significance of the Holy Name. After Benediction the men remained and the guilds were appointed. An 'n. crease of members necessitated the erection of a new guild- with Mr. J. Knox as prefect.
Euchre and Rummy Tournament. Our syllabus item for last Thursday was a euchre and rummy tournament, which was conducted by Ron Cant and Joe Migro. There were 20 entrants and the prizes were won by Joe Lowry and Joe Migro. Everybody present had a rattling good time and it is certain that this item will have to be repeated in the near future.

Two ideas expressed by the Rev. P. J. Bothwell to the Assembly of the Congregational Union in Melbourne during the week are rather interesting. Outlining the function of the Church, he proceeded to claim that "to this end anything and everything was admissible in the type of religious service." We might note in passmg that, to date, the Jesuits have had a monopoly of this slanderHowever, ous allegation about the end justifying the means. frsm this section of Protestantism, the statement is arresting. Firstly it exhibits the need that is being experienced of having Yet it is not long ago that the Church wai s'tual of some kind. ,,eing attacked from this quarter because of the elaborateness of • ts ceremonies. At that time it was claimed that religion called for the starkest simplicity in externals. Now it appears to call for the most revolutionary complexities. Secondly, such a statement illustrates that there is anxiety amounting to desperation about church attendances. It seems to us more important to have pwple come to church from right motives than to have them come2ht any cost, to hear the choir or see a pious newsreel.
P ERTH, SATURD NY, MAY 1(3, 1023. .
Let's be Supernatura It was rather astonishing to find recently on the literary page o f our morning contemporary an attack on pacifism, seeing that its central policy during the past six months has been an incongrous combination of racial hate propaganda on the cable page and pious peace aspirations on the leader page. While the general sat!rical intent of the article in question was commendable, and the first of its kind to appear in the conservative press, its tendency to strain after smart superficiality and effective epigram brought it close at times to ignoring that soul of goodness even in things compromised, and in its weakly humourous solution, to being a shallow attack on religion. The exposure of pacifism—peace at all costs—was long overdue. The article at least served to illustrate that its propagation was more a work of art than a product of nature. Had the world not deserted the liberal education, everybody should have known that any great idea or ideal can only persevere and flourish when it is sustained by a proportionately greater motive. The psychology of the propaganda is all wrong. Futile to bid men lay down their arms, and live together in peace and harmony, with-out giving them a sufficiently satisfying motive. What reasonable person can expect France and Germany to fraternise, becoming as brothers, merely because the pacifists preach that peace is intrinsically good. For a start that philosophy is not sound, lst cause Ii is the motive and intention of the mind and will that !end many actions the hue of good or evil. Quite a number of historical cases might be quoted where it was positively immoral for an individual or nation to have preserved its soul in peace in the Self-preservation, for instance, is face of given circumstances. nc.t only a natural right but a moral duty. Hence a war of selfdeefnce iS not a matter of choice but of strict obligation. One is not at liberty to accept annihilation, even supposing that the pacifists think they are willing to do so. Individually, it is striking that the essence of remaining good consists in waging ceaseless and remorseless battle against the world, the flesh and the devil. Only those in the last stages of moral turpitude can accept either c.-imgromise or surrender. • • • • It is, of course. obvious that every rule that binds the indivi'Thal does not bind the community or nation, at least not in the same way. But in the affairs of the spirit--and pacifism is such— the nation is for practical purposes what the majority of its citizens think and aspire to. Hence the logical way to end war is to give each individual a sufficiently good reason for loving his And here it is not a matter of choosing one thing neisshbour. 1-om many. for the charity of Christ is surpassing good. "War -sill end when the men of the nations realise that charity is the s ntral point of the legislature of Christ, King of Kings by Divine Night. Men ought to love one another simply because such was •the command of Christ, ennobled and intensified by the supreme It was not that humanitarianism was Fscample of Calvary. semething starkly new. From the beginning it was a retrogression, a whittling down of what was strongest in the Christian creed. It destroyed the energising- motive and left the deeds, the empty shells, about which we write satires to-day. To return to the article which provoked these reflections. lhe writer referred, with a sort of grudging praise. to past ages when men were stronger in that they had a certain creed. The nauseating modern. notion of a "love and kisses" charity .did not sxist, largely. because Christendom had .in addition to a true concept of charity, a clear notion of the justice of God, which N'as rather rigorously mirrored both in Church and State. But the writer refuses to repine for the past. "It is no use," he writes, So, for "hankering after medieval utopias as Chesterton does." charity for substitute of a way the in acceptable hck of anything in Christendom, he suggests a Society for the Propagation of Healthy Hate, on the grounds that it woulcl provide a natural outlet for human feelings. But here the last state of humanity becomes worse than the first. It were bad enough to have pacifists were infinitely c amouflaging calf-love as Christian charity; it simulating natural (and therecult hate another ore to have vet manly expression.

Another point made by the lecturer was that worshippers should be allowed to come to church in beach clothes, tennis attire, cr hiking shorts, because, after all, they worshipped with their hearts and not with their clothes. To some extent this is true, and so far as we know the Catholic Church, considered in some quarters as the paragon of mustiness and conservatism, has never had any objection to holiday garb in church provided the ordinary But there is instincts of decency and modesty were respected. implication about the uselessness of externals in religion here that rather refutes the lecturer's so freshly expressed desire of It is an historical fact that men have always felt that ritual. they ought to dress in a special way for religious ceremonies. The Christian Church did not depart from pagan practices in this tsatter, because it was one question on which the unaided reason Even philosophically the devotion of the was absolutely right. mind is greatly stimulated by satisfying sense-impressions. The Catholic Church has always claimed that the interior dispositions of the soul, while they are the essential part of worship, do not yet cover the whole ground. For we are called upon to worship according to our nature as men. Therefore the character o f worship must be human and since man is not wholly spiritual. but a fusion of spirit and matter, his homage to God will be also c f the body. He will perform outward actions perceptible to the senses. In this way, too, the whole man is enlisted in the service of God and the First Commandment is most comprehensively obeyed. Hence it is a one-sided religion which shuns or despises all outward forms just as it is a pharisaic religion which concentrates on them to the exclusion of interior dispositions. "To medic :slat virtus." So the Church has combined these two elements in worship of God, recognising that in the Incarnation these same !we elements were fused and presented to us in the God-Man qint ittwrx +Is

Boulder
The Mission Fathers, Fathers Gorey and Scanlon, are just finishing what is reported to be a very successful Mission in Kalgoorlie. We are now awaiting their arrival in Boulder on next Sunday, May 24. They are to give us their services for a fortnight, beginning at the 10 o'clock Mass on the above-mentioned Sunday. We are all confident that, through the intercession of Our Lady, Help of Christians, the principal Patroness of Australia, on whose feast day the opening day of the exercises falls, God will be pleased to bless this parish with the abundant graces that are necessary for a really fruitful and re. juvenating Mission. We hope, before many days are passed, to make Boulder a member of the Catholic Tennis Association. We are putting down two new courts on the old school block in Wittenoomstreet. One is already finished, in the new colas-wood preparation, and we played on it for the first time last SunThe second court, beside the day. first, has already been levelled out with gravel. We would like all intending members (and we know there are many) to come forward quickly with their first subscription, as we are naturally in need of funds. The subscription rates are as follows: El half. yearly for men. 10s. half-yearly for women, and youths still attending school. Subs. may be paid to the secretary. Mr. J. Lowry. or to the trea. surer, Mr. R. Colgan. We had the first meeting last Sunday night of the ladies' committee for the organisation of the All Hallows' Ball, 1936. Mrs. T. J. Ardagh was elected secretary, Mrs. R. Wilson trea. surer. The appointment of both ladies was approved unanimously. The ball this year is to be on July R. with the children's fancy dress ball on the following evening. We wish the committee every success and we are sure the rest of the parishioners will support it generously.
Pinjarra
The Pinjarra folks are getting busy organising card evenings and corninanity singing to help Father Ryan and parish funds, and are grateful for the recent arrival of Mr. and Mrs. Pickering and family, one time of Rosa. Mrs. Pickering has taken lie parish. charge of the musical part of the entertainment, delighting old and young with her charming voice and capable music for the dances. The committee intend having weekly entertainments, to be followed by a "Night in June," when they hope to out-do their friends of the parish on the Swan with a big dance in St. Matthew's Hall, on Friday, June 19. The alterations to the building recently purchased by the Sisters of St. Joseph are in full swing, making the charming old homestead on the Murray River into an up-to-date boarding and day school. which will be a great asset to the whole of the district.

Of a gentle and lovable disposition, he was always ready to assist in church affairs and in all cases when a helping hand was needed.

The roots are gradually going—and so are our Busy Bees. Many of our early volunteers have signed off, How easily we mortals tire and how quickly 'Tis alright for a enthusiasm wanes. while, as they say in the classics; we begin with a noise and then indifference descends. and we fall hack on the that cowardly excuse, "Oh, let other fellows do it!"

A fter the second Mass, Mr. Jim Patterson buttonholed all the men and used his note -honk with all the efficiency of a traffic cop. We know that we shall begin well. but how many will stay the course for a whole Year? The Children's Ball. Kate Greenways in rainbow hues mingled with Dick Whittingtons and their savage looking cats, 16 of them with tails that trailed looking for an gument: green bundles labelled "Keep off the grass" were mixed with Gipsies of flashing eves and such red lips; Soldiers goose-stepped while courtiers courtesied to their maids—and a South Perth Busy Bee, ,remarkable for the many plates of buns romped around "O.K. Sauce"---colour, plash, smiles. and a crescendo of buzzing voices made the Swan-street hail last Thursday week one of the brightest shows we have ever held. The organisers of the sets deserve Victoria Crosses for the patience and care (no one knew who would be missing at the last moment). The grand parade (under the guidance of Messrs. J. McMullen. St. 5. Kennedy and J. Patterson) was the most orderly we have had: the dancing of the sets excellent. proving that even small ' children only need a little supper arrangements were practice. Listen to this: f aultless. A blonde member of a junior set sat back from the table. "Won't you have another jelly cup?" invited one of the ladies. "No, thank 'you." said the blonde. "Do please have just one more," persisted the kindly lady. "No, thank you." answered the girlie, rather firmly, "But why not?" asked the puzzled lady, looking over the other girlies attacking a second with gusto "T have had five already." explained
the little blonde. Collapse of the kindly lady. The music. under Mrs. Lawler, was fine. To the keepers of the door (Messrs. Eagan and Davis) be it said that they died at their post—well. nearly died, until we remembered them by the coffee pot. The judges, Mesdames Lyon•John• ston and Burns, had a difficult task. but no one found fault with their decisions. Mrs, J. Davis stood by her table of treasures, and to every member of sets, and to every child in the hall, there went a prize, and such appropriate prizes were they.

Last Saturday, Mrs. Moss led forth her star jumblers. headed by Mrs. McGrath, who was famous in the days when we jumbled for the Busbies, and then came Mrs. O'Dea, Mrs. T. D Murphy and Miss Marie McEncroe, Miss D. Davis. and Miss M. Dominish. For some weeks mysterious looking parcele have been arriving at the Cathedral Hall. and on Saturday in came the crowd to bargain and cajole themelves into possession of such an array of clothes, hats and shoes. Financially it was a great success. Many thanks to the Ancient Order of _jinnble-Salers,
CORRIGIN St. Patrick's Ball. The night of Wednesday, April 22. crowned with success the efforts of the committee controlling St. Patrick's Ball. Both financially and socially this annual function surpassed all expectations, For some days prior to t he ball, a band of ladies whose "will to work" left nothing to be desired. had laboured mightily in order that the tables when presented to their guests at supper time, should contain full and plenty of all that the most e xacting could desire. They succeeded admirably. Looking back over the night, one can find little, if anything, undone which could have made the evening more enjoyable and the committee wish to thank every person whose effort, great and greater, wept te make this the success it undoubtedly was. Looking from the stage into the throng during dances, a scene of even changing colour was presented, and in gazing on the lovely frocking of the ladies mere male was inclined to be a little envious, wishing perhaps that he might sprout new feathers for an occasion such as this. Mrs. Smith and her orchestra excel!. ed themselves anti when the evening closed at 2.13 a.m. with the National A nthem, not a moan of any kind was heard, which in itself is a tribute of high order to the music provided. Altogether a sum approaching £20. a fter all the expenses are paid, will reward the effort. Especially do they wish to thank Mr. D. P. Taylos 'or his untiring efforts in preparires ths !lootand the able manner in which he carried out his +sties of M
Northam After an unduly prolonged silence, we once more reappear in the newsSince our last budget many things have happened, and we hope that the repetition of them will not bore our readers. The prize packet has met with very encouraging enthusiasm. To judge Irani initial *lions, this should be the best performance up to date. We hope all subscribers may be granted the grace ui final perseverance. Last Sunday night. a delegation of St. Vincent de Paul men from Perth called on the local brothers and passed a very pleasant evening in their midst. The local branch wishes to thank all those people who have helped them in any way, and also to remind others that all donations will be gratefully received. It is very edifying to notice that the congregation at evening devotions on Sunday nights seems to be increasing (luring the last few weeks. Certainly to attend Benediction is a joy to every Catholic, a grand occasion for appealing to Our Saviour for special graces, and a practical way of keeping holy the Sabbath Day. May this fine prac• tice grow more and more popular, There is also an increased attendance at the evening Rosary during May. Congratulations on this point also. To the new Minister. Mr. 11. R. G Hawke, we offer our very best wishes for a very successful term of office. Mr. Hawke is the member for Northam, and he has shown himself to be a capable, diligent, broad-minded representative of the people. Both he and his wife have always displayed a kindly interest in Catholic affairs, and he will have behind him in his new capacity the good wishes of the Nor. tham parishioners. Since the last publication of the Northam Notes, we have to record the passing of Mrs. Mary Carmody. The late Mrs. Carmody was a resident of Northam for the last thirty years, and her life of simple practical Catholi, faith was a source of help and good example to all with whom she came in contact. To her relatives we extend our deepest sympathy. RIP.
Kellerberrin His Grace, Most Rev. Dr, Prendi, ville- will arrive in Kellerberrin next week to conduct his second Canonical Visitation of the parish. On this occasion His Grace will be able to visit all the outlying districts, where the people are preparing to give him an enthusiastic welcome. Unlike certain suburban powers, we do not cling to numerical definitions as a supreme test. Whence, in spite of small numbers, a strong move is afoot to form a branch of the Ho4y Name Society, His Grace the Archbishop, who is anxious to see this Society spread to the four corners of the Archdiocese, has kindly consented to explain its ideals anti advantages at the 10 o'clock Mass at Kellerberrin on Sunday, May 24. Rev. Dr. McMahon has told the world that the Bushies' Scheme was conceived in Kellerberrin many years ago. At last we are in a position to briog home the idea which has since wandered so far afield. The propos. ed date is the closing weeks of Aug.ust. Up to date there are eleven on the rolls, but it is hoped that at least four times that number will be in attendance. We wish to thank Rev. Dr. McMahon for books which have al. ready arrived. The ladies of Tammin, under the baton of Mrs. H. Lardi, are buss- preparing for a grand social and dance, to be held on the evening of June 10. We wish them every success, The Doodlakine Musical Festival grows apace. This Year it attracted some one hundred and fifty entries. The plum event, the Pianoforte -Chainpionship, was a triumph for Miss Margaret Hanley, the 14-year-old musical genius of Kellerberrin. who is a pupil of St. Joseph's Convent. In tendering our congratulations, let us do so in the wordse of the adjudicator, "There's a musician." CATHOLIC TENNIS ASSOCIATION. ANNUAL BALL.

THE RECORD.
ANCILLA DOMINI The crown ut creatures, first in place Wast, of all creatures, creative most; By nature nothing, all by grace; Redemption's first and loftiest boast. Handmaid of God in heart. and will, Without h is life she ..seemed a death; A void that He alone could A word suspended on His breath.
The Appeal of Christ From the Gospel Pages
THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK.
Sunday: He that lays aside the fear of God will not be able to continue long in good, but will quickly fall into the snares of the devil. Monday: He is truly great, who is little in his own eyes and makes no account of the height of honour. Tuesday: How many perish in the world through vain learning, who take little care of the service of God. Who has Wednesday: a stronger conflict than he who strives to overcome himself. Thursday: In truth sublime words make not a man holy and just; but a virtuous life maketh him dear to God. Friday: It is vanity to seek a fter riches which must perish. And to trust in them. Saturday: Boast not of thy s tature, nor beauty of body. which is spoiled and disfigured by a little sickness.
Yet, void and nothing, she in Him The creature's sole perfection found; She was the great rock's shadow dim: She was the silence, not the sound. She was a sea-shell from the deep Of God—her function this alone— Of Him to whisper as in sleep In everlasting undertone. This hour on Him her eyes are set: And those who tread the earth she trod Like her, themselves in her forget. And her remember but in God. — Aubrey de Vere.

He would ask of men could they justly refuse, because He had gone before them in every stony path. especially in those most difficult ones of poverty and humiliation. "The servant is not above His Master."

When the heavenly choir had disappeared the shepherds said one to another: "Let us go over to Bethlehem and let us see this word that is come to pass, which the Lord hath showed to us." Note their unwavering faith. Zachary had had an angelic visitation and yet doubted what was told him, but ,these rough men have the most implicit confidence. They went with haste to the outskirts of the town and there in the cold little limestone cave they found Mary and Joseph and the Infant lying in the manger. Even now you might have thought their faith would be staggered. Could the Saviour, the Messiah. the Lord, come to His people in such abasement and utter wretchedness -5 Vet the Scripture says: "Seeing. they understood of the word that had been spoken to them concerning this Child." So it has always been. The poor have understood the Crib. And it was precisely because God knew that they would understand that He sent His Son in fashion. such lowly Christ could never have won the world had He come on earth already a grown man or as a prince in a That He might r oyal palace. capture the hearts of all He must come as the. least of all.

Then they returned to their flocks "glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen." And they became the Christ Child's first apostles, for they told others of the wonders that had come to pass in Bethlehem. "And all that heard wondered at those things that were told them by the shepherds." But none wondered more at the miracle of the Nativity than Mary, who "kept all these words pondering That inthem in her heart." deed, is the most complete summary of Mary's life.

Her whole life is one long splendid meditation of her Son. She had combined all those beautiful motherly attentions to her Child with the most intense homage and reverence that she, as a creature. owed to Him. her God. Eight days passed and during that time Joseph, the handy-man, xYas no doubt busy about making the cave into something like a home. It would have been very dirty (for these hillside caves were used by the shepherds to herd their flocks at night), and it would have been damp (water percolates very quickly through limestone.). And a door had to be hung over the entrance and a little cubicle partitioned off for Mother and Child. Then, on the eighth day. the Child was circumcised according to the law. It may seem strange that there was no gathering of people, who had heard the shepherds' tidings. at the ceremony, as there had been at John the Baptist's. But r emember Bethlehem was very distracted with the rush and contusion of the census-taking. A pparently it was St. Joseph who performed the rite and bestowed upon the Child the Sacred Name of Jesus. according to the Angel's command. What an extraordinary condescension for Christ to have suffered circumvision! This operation was a confession of sin. vet He was willing. since He could not suffer sin, to bear in His body the stigma of its humiliation. For to this end was He come that He might save those that were lost of the House of Israel. Here for the first time, too, was shed the Precious Blood, every drop of which He would later pour mit upon the Cross. ("To he Continued.)

World Exhibition of Catholic Press Opened on Tuesday "The Record" Represented in Missionary Section Austria is in the lead in the partic, pation of the nations in the Catholic Press Exhibition, which opened in Rome on Tuesday last. As Pope Pius X l. has given the world of journalism an example —if it would take it- in writing, in untiring pursuit of true farts on world affairs, Catholic journalists may claim it is their particular leader who is being honoured by the opening of the Exhibition. which took place on the Feast of S. Achilles, May 12.
R EV. FATHER FRANLIS CLUNE. The brother of the late Archbishop. who visited the West in July last to attend the Month's Mind, was the preacher of the occasional sermon on Anzac Day in St. Mary's Cathedral, Sy(lney. Our esteemed contemporary, "The Catholic Press," writes: "In the presence of a crowded congregation in St. Mary's Cathedral, the best of all services to the dead, the celea6.1-1 of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, was performed with full solemnity, the senior chaplain of the ( R; fit Rev. Monsignor T, King, P.P., O. .E. ) offici.ting at the altar. In measured terms that g- ipped every heart, another Catholic chaplain (Very Rev. Father Francis Clune, C.P.), who had seen all the light and shade of war's dramatic convulsion, extolled the soldier's manly traits, condemned w ar in all its debasing effects- and emphasised the glory of that 'greater love,' which robbed our young country of its fair manhood."
The Austrian Committee. as well as the French. organised a national pilgrimage to Rome for the Exhibition. In the precincts of Immortal Rome, the Exhibition is being rapidly com. ;Acted, and the Catholic j,airnalists the world gain inspiration from their great privilege. Work on the national pavilions is going forwaTd, and in spite of all predictions to the contrary the Exhibition premises will be quite finished and in perfect order for the promised opening date. The Exhibition opened in the Vatican on the Cortile della Pigna (the Courtyard of the Pine ('one). There. on the spot selected by His holiness himself, a two-story pavilion has been erected, and space assigned for the ex. hibits of all nations. When the doors of the exhibition hall swung open. the pavilion must have been a veritable university, and the world invited to a It covers 6,000 liberal education. square Yards. sufficient for the structures which fifty nations taken part in the Exhibition have built to show their Catholic newspapers and periodicals.
