• ••
:octigigNigmagalucffinzigi 1!,1A(SCIUDtfa22 gig g To-morrow is the Feast of Our Lady Help of Christians, St under which invocation Mary is Patroness of Australia and New Zealand. It is our own special holy-day and the origin o f the invocation is commemorative of one of the greatest feats of Christian warfare and one which saved Western civilisation from the menace of the Turk. This was the inspiration of Mr. G. K. Chesterton's "Lepanto"—probably the finest descriptive poem of our language. We reprint below a prose account of the battle from the pen of another great Catholic litterateur. Cardinal Newman:

St. Pius V. and the Battle of Lepanto (1571). It is not to he supposed that a saint, on whom lay the "solicitude of all the churches." should neglect the tradition, which his predecessors of so many centuries had bequeathed to him, of zeal and hostility against the Turkish power. Pope Pius V. was only six years on the pontifical throne: and the achievement o f which I am going to speak was amongst his last: he died the following year, 1572. A t this time the Ottoman armies were continuing their course of victory: they had just t aken Cyprus. with the active cooperation of the Greek population of _the i.oland. and were massacring- the Latin nobility and clergy. and mutilating and flaying alive the Venetian governor. Y et the saint found it impossible to move Christendom to its own defence. How. indeed, was that to be done, when half Christendom had become Protestant. and secretly. perhaps. felt as the Greeks felt, that the Turk was it, friend and ally? site!: a quarrel France, England. and Germany were out of t he tv‘,t ion.

The treaty was signed on May 24; but such was the cowardice and j ealousy of the parties concerned, that the autumn had arrived, and nothing of importance was accomplished. With ditii:ulty were the armies united: with difficulty were the dissensions of the cninmanders brought to a settlement. Meanwhile, the Ottomans were scour. mg the Gulf of Venice, blockading the ports and terrifying the city itself. But the holy Pope was securing the success of his cause by arms of his own, which the Turks understood not He had been appointing a triduum of supplication at Rome, and had taken part in the procession himself, He had proclaimed a jubilee to the whole christian world, for the happy issue ot t he war. He had been interesting the Holy Virgin in his cause. He preented t o his admiral, after High Mass in his chapel, a standard of red namask• embroidered with a crucifix. and with the figures of St. Peter and St Paul, and the legend. "In hoc igno vinces.Next. sendino- to Messina, where the allied fleet lay, he assured the generalin-chief and the armament, that, "if, r elying on divine. iather than on human help, they attacked the enemy, God would not be wanting to His own cause. He augured a prosperous and happy issue: not on any light or random hope, but on a divine guidance. and by the anticipations of many holy men.Moreover, he enjoined the o ttisers to look to the -good conduct of their tr ips: to repress swearing. .gm. and plunder. and thereby to render them more deserving of victory. Accordingly, a fast of three days was proclaimed for the fleet, beginning with the Nativity of Our Lady: all the
men went to confession and Communion, and appropriated to themselyes the plentiful indulgences which the Pope attached to the expedition. Then they moved across the foot of Italy to Corfu, with the intention ot presenting themselves at once to the enemy; being disappointed in their expectations, they turned back to the Gulf of Corinth; and there, at length, on the 7th. of October, they found the Turkish fleet, half way between Lepanto and the Echinades on the north, and Patras, in the Morea, on the south; and, though it was towards evening, strong in faith and zeal. they at once commenced the engagement. The night before the battle, and the day itself, aged as he was, and brok• en with a cruel malady, the saint had passed in the Vatican in fasting and praying. All through the Holy City t he monasteries and colleges were in prayer too, As the eyeninsr advanc. ed, the pontifical treasurer asked an audience of the Sovereign Pontiff on an important matter. Pius was in his bedroom, and began to converse with him, when- suddenly, he stopped t he conversation, left him, threw open t he window, and gazed up into heaven. Then closing it again„ he looked gravely at his official, and said. "This is no time for business; go. return thanks to the Lord God. In this very hour our fleet has engaged the Turkish, and is victorious.As the treasurer went out, he saw the Holy Fathcr fall on his knees before the altar, in thank InIness and joy, a in memorable victory it was: upwards of thirty thousand Turks are said to have lost their lives in the engagensnit, and three thousand five hundred were made prisoners.

Such was the catastrophe of this long and anxious drama; the hosts of Turkistan and Tartary had poured down from their wilderness through ages, to be withstood, and foiled, and reversed by an old man. It was a repetition, though under different circumstances, of the history of Leo and the Hun. In the contrast between the combatants we see the contrast of the histories of good and evil.

R AMON NOVARRO. In an interview on his arrival in Dublin recently. Mr. Ramon Novarro, the. film star, spoke of the persecution in M-exico, and revealed that one of his sisters. a Sister of Charity, is in hiding there. The Sisters of Charity in Mexico, he said, now wear civilian dress to avoid detection. Many nuns are living privately with Catholic families. Nearly all their convents and churches have been burned down. Priests continue to celebrate Mass, but in private houses and always in fear of discovery.

"As the result of our representations t o the Colonial Office and the High Ccmmissioner for Palestine. some of the evils complained of in August last have been mitigated," Mr. Leckie told "The Catholic Times."

"My friend, Captain Whitney, who has spent the winter in Palestine, and who has visited the Sea of Galilee for weeks at a time. has sent me a number of photographs taken by himself early in January. and they prove conclusively that during that dry season —although the Lake was only about 5 to 6 feet below its normal level— hundreds of Yards of unsightly foreshore are exposed. cutting off access to the Lake in the ordinary way and leaving large pools of stagnant water - the breeding place of mosquitoes and other insects.

We are told that its object is to prevent the flooding of the land beyond during the rainy season when the Lake is dammed up above its normal level. But that is quite an insufficient reason for spoiling one of the sacred spots on the Lake. Safeguards Wanted, "Nothing will satisfy Christian people and also the Jews, Arabs and Bedouins who reside there, but the removal of the sluice gates and the erection of a permanent dam at the normal level of the Lake, so that it may revert to its natural condition as it was in Our Lord's time.

\EOST REV. PASCUAL DIAZ. Confusion, contradictions and chaos are being revealed by reports of the reopening of churches in some parts of Mexico. Word has now been received of the opening of some churches in the State of Puebla as well as in the States of Campeche and Sinaloa, and at Jaurez, in the State of Chihuahua, a judge has given a ruling permitting four exiled priests to return. Officially, the situation has not changed, and it seems that in some cases, churches now being reopened had been closed by local authorities who had exceeded their authority. Another source of confusion is that while it rests with the Federal Government which churches are to be closed—they have all been made the property of the nation—the State legislatures have the exclusive power of determining how many priests shall be permitted to minister. Another cause of confusion is that certain State laws for the registration of the clergy have been decreed by the Governor instead of by the legislature. And although the attitude of the Federal Government seemed to have changed slightly for the better, new decrees have been issued withdrawing three more churches from public worship. Marriage Condition. In some States the law permits the authorisation of a certain number of priests, but various means are found to prevent any registrations. In Puebla, for instance, a decree will authorise no priest who is not married. Thus, while churches may have been opened, there are no authorised priests to serve them. The Vera Cruz law authorises the registration of 14 priests for the State' but no priest has been registered during the past four years, despite the many efforts the Bishops have made to comply with the law's requirements, In the State of Sinaloa the law permitted the registration of 4,5 priests, but the entire State has been without registered priests and all the churches have been closed.

THEOSOPHY FROM WITHIN :-:
Reason of Wholesale Deflections From 1909-onwards Mr. Wood was in a position to know almost all that went on at the headquarters of the so. ciety at Adyar, and on Mrs. Besant's death he was a candidate for the presidency. but was defeated by Mr. Arundale. "The election,- says Mr,, Wood, " which ought to have been a courtly record of policy and opinion—a manifestation of brotherhood in a society established to form the nucleus of the universal brotherhood of humanity'— degenerated into something worse than any political! election I ,have ever known. Alas, that every experiment in brotherhood should fall on meeting a modicum of material prosperity."
Sidelights on the Krishnamurti Fiasco
• Mr. E. E. Wood has published an autobiography with the title -Is This Theosophy?" and the Rev. Father Thurston has reviewe d the volume in "The Catholic Herald." This former pillar of the Theosophical Society tells a sorry tale of squabbles, jealousies, and manifes t fraud which throws most revealing light upon Mrs. Besant and "Bishop" Leadbeater- who died in Perth last year.
Still, there is nothing in the book which suggests a spirit of vindictiveness, but what does come to the surface, both in this work and in every other impartial survey of the history of Theosophy, is that never since the world began can there have been an organisation so•rent with schisms and discredited by ignoble personal jealousies as this society founded ostensibly to promote the brotherhood of man. Internal Squabbles. Not to refer to the early quarrels connected with the names of Anna Kingsford, Coues, WyldOld and Judge. or to the implacable hostility

to Adyar of Katharine Tingley and the whole Point Lorna branch, we have had since the beginning of the present century such defections as those of G. R. S. Mead, Rudolf Steiner, A. P. Sinnett. Krishnamurti, and now Mr. Wood himself, all of them the very pillars by which this unstable fabric was sustained. In spite of his long connections with and high office in the Theosophist Society, Mr. Wood does not hesitate to "show up" the supposed clairvoyance of Mr. Leadbeater and Mrs. Besant. Says Father Thurston: "Those who know anything of the crazy rubbish— a rubbish which becomes simply nauseating when such subjects as Mass and the Sacraments are touched upon — circulated by Mr. Leadbeater and Mrs. Besant from the headquarters at Adyar, will find it difficult to believe that the clairvoyance of the two sages can ever have been taken seriously." Mr. Wood writes, example for "Most of the members of the Society accepted unquestionably anything said to be seen by Mrs. Besant or Mr. Leadbeater. When, later, I was in intimate touch with them, I learnt that they frequently received letters somewhat as follows: 'It is not necessary for me to describe my trouble. With your wonderful powers you will know e verything when you receive this let' Please help me or advise me.' In reply to such letters they always explained that it was not right or permissible to use psychic powers in matters which could be attended to by ordinary physical faculties: it would be a waste of power. If the writer would explain his case clearly and briefly they would see what could be done!" Vulgar Fraud. There were also occasions when Leadbeater's pretensions to seership roused his collaborator's suspicions. For example. the former professed to be in doubt concerning certain words in Sanskrit which he said he had received in his psychic communications with the Masters. Discussing the sentence with a learned Parsee, this gentleman declared that he was sure he had read it somewhere before. hut did not at the moment remember where. Then, raising his eves to a shelf just above him, he saw a hook out of alignment and was at once reminded that it was in that book the quotation occurred.
Leadbeater." we are told, -looked confused, remarked that the servant had been dusting the books and diverted the conversation to some other subject." So, again, a European doctor, who had his suspicions, went with Leadbeater once to a theatre. By way of testing him the doctor pretended that he had a vision of two gigantic figures standing up there, one on each side of the stage, like guardian genii. It was a pure invention. but Mr. Leadbeater assured him that his vision corresponded with the facts. Although it was believed at Advar that Mrs. Besant and her lieutenant "were aware of almost everything going on in the neighbourhood and a good deal far away. I never knew one occasion on which Mr. Leadbeater was in the least aware of any thought that was going on in my mind, and in ordinary matters he certainly used no rlairyovant power at all. Often being busy at something he would ask me if I would go and see whether "our President is in her room." though that room was only fifty paces distant and her asra was described as blazing like the sun for a hundred yards all round, Often he would sav: "Come along, let us consult the President about this," and we would rush off together. sometimes to be brought to A halt. a few feet inside her room, with the disappointed exclamation, 'Why, she is not here." Krishnarnurti. So, again, when we recall the many visions of which Mr. Wood himself in this hook claims to have been the subject, it is interesting to find him speak. ing of Leadbeater elsewhere in these terms: "He would tell of people's lives in the far past and future, hut never of

All clairvoyants I have known have had the same defect.Of the book, "At the Feet of the Master," which purported to have been w ritten under guidance from higher powers by the youth Krishnamurti, Mr. Wood. while noting that the boy did not know_enough English to write the evenly flowing text of the book, also remarks that "it was very much in Mr. Leadbeater's own style- and that the were some sentences in it which were exactly the same as in a book of his which we had already prepared for the press.- What is more, a friend of Mr. Wood's, Mr. Subrahmanyam. declared that on one occasion when questioned in his presence. Krishnamurti had said in Telugu: "The book is not mine; they fathered it on me." Mrs. Besant was highly indignant, and w hen Mr, Subrahmanyarn refused t• i retract, expelled him from the ciet V.

Good Citizenship CHRIST'S STANDARD. Catholics and Economics. ( By the Rev. Dr. Edmund A. Walsh, S.J.. Vice-President of Georgetown University, U.S.A.) The recorded teachings of Christ con. tam no formal social manifesto nor He was not e conomic programme. an agitator but a revealer, not a reformer, as we narrowly restrict that term. but a vindicator of the law of obligation, and an exponent in word and deed of the primary responsibilities of individual men to individual duties. He would reform society, yes, but by regenerating the individual first, by exhorting to a kingdom and a way of life not limited to this world nor to be achieved by the temporalities of force, matter and legislative Ile knew that these enactment. would differ with time, place and national temperaments. Christ was not only the Messiah lie was a master psychologist far beyond licensed possessors of that title. He knew that if compulsion and not conviction were to rule society, jurisprudence would become a battle of wits with the victory not always to He knew that there the righteous. was no scheme, no involved programme, no equilibrium of mind and matter however cunningly arranged, however legally fortified, that would not be defeated by men who had not in their hearts the desire to be just, the desire to be merciful. and a willingness to sacrifice something of selfinterest for commonweal. Two Things Forbidden. The Catholic Church forbids two things: first, for its members to advance the special interests of purely political parties by any claim or pretext of Catholic approbation or by means of any programme described as Catholic Action. This prohibition extends even to those specific Catholic laymen who associate themselves in close co-operation with ecclesiastical leaders in the spiritual apostolate of Such high-minded men, religion, once they voluntarily assume the honour and responsibility of leadership in the direction of an official and formal Catholic Action must, as a general poiicy, he prepared to sacrifice public That, in leadership in political life. the ruling of the Supreme Teacher and Pontiff of the Catholic Church, is necessary to preserve religion from the charge of subtly seeking political dom. ination. Secondly, the Church forbids its ministers of religion, as a rule, to participate in the militant contests, rivalres, strifes, nominations. curb-stone debates, conventions, caucuses and platform recriminations of "politics" in the popular acceptance of that term. The Catholic Church has no article of faith respecting the tariff, the gold standard, monetary systems, technical e conomics or the best machinery for regulating specific industrial crises. In the solution of such important problems Catholics will take their individual stand wherever and in whatever language their free will dictates. and their authority is only as good as the arguments they adduce. Sound Principles. The Church does advance sound principles of Government and economics, and has contributed richly to both sciences in the brilliant works of a Thomas Aquinas, a Suarez, a Beliarmine, a De Vittoria. a Leo XIII., a Pius XI., and by that goodly army of current thinkers who are seeking to apply Christian principles to a demoralised, over-secularised anct overBut the best of sexed civilisation. t hese have retained independence of position and refused to be drawn into the narrow and suffocating atmosphere shifts which of partisan politics, ground, bargains for votes and forgets They the most solemn engagements. deal with principles, not with delegates.

The appeal had been considered carefully by the Town Planning Commissioner (Mr. D. L. Davidson) and the Town Planning Board, and, in the light of the private nature of the chapel and the Archbishop's assurances that it was for private worship, a recommendation had been made to the Minister, who had adopted it. Mr, Davidson said that he had every faith in the Archbishop keeping his word in the matter.

THE DISCONTENTED CHURCH Are You a Member of file Churcla Dormant ? When a man becomes a Catholic, his troubles begin. If he was born in the Church, his troubles begin sooner. Until the day he dies, a Catholic layman is really up against it, The Church will make a saint of him—ii he dc-esn't watch out! It is a matter of common knowledge that a large number of slackers and deserters are being carried on our We are not proud of them books.

SLandaluus, isn't it There are between four and five hundred million Catholics in the world to-day. Our missionary priests, 13i-ethers, Sisters, and lay workers are winning 400,000 converts for the Church each year. Is the Church satIs the Church content? Perisfied? mit me to venture a prophecy. When the religious persecution in Mexico has ceased, when every African has been baptised, when every Communist reiuses to eat meat on Friday, when every New Dealer and anti-New Dealer has acknowledged the supreme authority of the Pope in spiritual affairs, the Church will turn to us and -ay: "My children, have you not forgotten Tibet, Bhutan, Sikkim, and Nepal?' When the Gospel has been preached in every one of the ten countries which are at the present moment closed to Christianity, the Church will direct our attention to the large number of lapsed Catholics. And when every lapsed Catholic has been brought back again into the fold of Christ—well, Gabriel will be blowing his trumpet. The most disillusioned individual on earth must be the naive person who entered the Universal Church for a rest cure. The modern world places a high premium on action- I think it only sporting to warn prospective converts that Catholicism means thought and action with a vengeance, long hours, and no holidays. Most of us do not resemble Francis Xavier. We do not become "saints in a hurry,We take our time. We proceed cautiously—two steps forward and one step backwards. Every advance along the thorny path of sanctity is, in our eyes, a major martyrdom. When we stumble and fall- the Church picks us up. When we hesitate, the Church prods us. When we grumble, the Church points to the Crucifix. Whatever our station in life may be. the Church has assigned to each of us a difficult task. We are the chosen few. We are the leaven in the modern world, We will exhibit ourselves, in the words of St. Paul, as God's min. isters. We will not only labour to save our own souls but strive unceasingly to Christianise everyone. At the very beginning of our apostolate, the Church insists that we grow in holiness. Not so very long ago. I was of the opinion that the layman who heard Mass and received Holy Communion every morning was a fit subject for canonisation. I realise now that such a man is only one degree removed f rem mediocrity. If he takes his religion seriously, he will buy a missal. He will join the Third Order of some Religious cornmin-lite. He will participate. once a leonth. in nocturnal adoration before He will do t he Blessed Sacrament. a certain amount of spiritual reading. Once or twice a year he will make a c'e‘zed week-end retreat at Manresre When he has done all these things. the C hurch will give him a brisk pat on the head and suggest that he devote himself to the practice of mental prayer. When he has thoroughly mastered the science of mental prayer he will be advised to submit himself without re,erve to an experienced spiritual director. The very first conference, I am sure, will convince the ambitious layman that his case is not altogether
(By JOHN J. O'CONNOR.) hopeless and that there is still a chance that he might eventually occupy one of the more uncomfortable corners in Purgatory. We will, of course, give evidence of our supernatural life by vigorous action. Here again there seems to be no limit to what the Church demands of us. What shall be the special field of our apostolate? We may collect postage stamps for home and foreign missions, distribute Catholic literature, re-mail Catholic magazines, broadcast Catholic truth over the radio, explain Catholicism, as a member of a Catholic Evidence Guild, to the man in the street; teach the Catechism to Catholic children attending public schools, visit the gaols and hospitals in our community, aid the parish priest in instructing converts, write short stories, essays, poems, novels, textbooks: correct misinformation about the Church in the secular press; or persuade a lapsed Catholic to return to the Sacraments. If the Communist can be a militant propagandist and proselyter on a twowatt philosophy of action, we who possess the only common-sense philosophy of action worth talking about —Catholic Action—will be on fire to spend ourselves dangerotialy and recklessly in the service of Christ. Let us assume that the layman is doing his bit in the reconstruction of society according to Christian principles, Is the Church satisfied? Not at all. She rewards him by submitting at least seven complex problems for his immediate consideration. I shall name them: peace, Communism, Mexico, race prejudice, property, social justice, class warfare. The layman knows that, whatever course of action he may advocate, he will be denounced as a meddlesome boob. He cannot possibly hope to please the conservative and the extremist, the pacifist and the militarist, the rich man and the pauper, Fascist and liberal. the white man and his black brother. When he honestly and sincerely tries to put into practice the heroic element in Christ's doctrine, the world will certainly crucify him. Father Martindale has stated that. in his candid opinion, false nationalism is doing most damage to the CaHe writes: tholic cause. "Nothing constituted a stronger exterior argument against our Faith, or moved men more to mockery of our religion, than the sight of Catholic countries in bitter conflict during the last war, The argument did not altogether hold water: but it was a terAnd, when naribly specious one. tional animosities are carried right outside war-time, and you find oil. grimages to Rome refusing to Speak to one another or to pray together when actually in St. Peter's or exhibiting aloofness and even exclusivism during Eucharistic Congresses, you are bound to be shocked almost beyond endurance, and you need not fear to sax that you are face to face with what is sinful and matter for the confessional." The layman who tries to reconcile Christ's message with love of country is going to land in some awkward predicaments. If he asserts that he will not fight under any circumstances. he will be persecuted for his utter lack of patriotism. If he is opposed to any reduction of our armaments at the present time, he will be violently accused of contradicting certain very definite Papal pronouncements on the subject of war and peace. The Young Catholic layman is being encouraged to take an active part in politics. But should he walk into the Headquarters Democratic National during the present vituperative campaign and inform Mr. Farley that Democrats should love Republicans. he will probably be regarded as a dan• gerous lunatic. It is practically impossible for a Catholic to be a good party man. I am What about Communism? frank to confess that I hate Communism. Communists, and everything that comes nut of Moscow.

A few years ago my job was the most important thing in my life. To-day the Church is my first interest and a job is merely a means of keeping body and soul together. Advancements and increases in salary do not come rapidly to the average layman who carries the problems of the Church into the office and factory with him. It is the ambition of many young laymen to get married. I have been told that it is advisable to have a thousand dollars in the bank. At once the desire to accumulate material possessions comes into conflict with the dictates of Christian charity. How can the young layman concentrate upon the purchase of an engagement ring, for example, when he knows that 30 dollars a month will support a priest in the mission field? How can he take his sweetheart to the theatre when thousands of our people are in dire distress? How can he enjoy a waltz in a fashionable hotel when he knows that, in the same city- hundreds are shivering, with the cold? The charge has been made that we are members of the Church Dormant. That has not been my personal experience I am a very lazy fellow and should have been perfectly content to take an easy back-road into Purgatory.

The Church and Industrial
roblems
It has become the fashion for politicians to lecture on religion and on that hazy institution, "the Church," which usually means "the non-Catholic churches" Usually they make an even more f t-dile effort in this direction than in politics itself. One of two attitudes characterises such utterances,. Either it provides the opportunity to talk about the failure of "the Church," which is a neat stratagem of shelving the responsibilities of political graft and corruption on to somebody else, or else it is the occasion of a total and abyssinal display of ignorance, On a recent Wednesday, Mr. J. T. Tonkin, ALLA., was lecturing to the Presbyterian Assembly on "The Church and Industrial Problems." He made one statement that was very arresting and which should be engraven on a brass plate outside every large business premises:. "It seems that personal gain is far more important to the Christian business man than the need for accelerating reforms to give relief to thousands of men, women and children." The only annoyance that Catholics experience in reading such a declaration is that Mr. Tonkin should follow up this excellent beginning with the tame accusation that "up to the present the Church had said that these things were the job of Governments and economists," that "the Church should declare itself." It is past all bearing that politicians who claim to be seeking "the Church's" assistance. should have for over half a century consistently ignored the Church's ringing condemnation of the greed of the rich and Her lonely championship of the working class and the poor. The Church ha* declared itself in unequivocal terms. and Her contention is still true that it is the politicians' business to attend to poliHer duty is the indication and defence of the great moral tics. questions involved. If Mr. Tonkin would read the Encyclicals. "-Rerum Novarum" and "Quadrag-esimo anno." he would soon be disabused about the Church's failure to defend the poor and the workers. Mr. Tonkin declared in all innocence that "the Church had made pronouncements on problems, but had gone no further." If he would peruse the Papal Encyclicals he Nyould find that the Popes have done a great deal more than merely state the effects of capitalistic industrialism. They have made the most penetrating analysis of causes and indicated the solution which is primarily a r. Ton.k in would fl )t be satisfied with this. But spiritual one. He \vont(' have the Church enter into the practical sphere of applied social ideas. Then, to what end are we paying politicians? We have said that the Pope's solution traces the roots of our social trottl)les to the greed of the rich, involving the notion that personal profit is the Alpha and Omega of business and that employees are merely "hands," the merely human means to the Great End. On the other hand, the poor have lost the true concept of liberty, and through the callous indifference of employers towards their condition, have been impelled into dishonesty and hate.

The roots of the trouble are spiritual—there is moral disorder in the minds and hearts of employer and employee. The remedy, Men's minds must be regeneration that too, must begin there. their crooked wills may seek what is right. Employers have to be shown that injustice is a monstrous evil, that workers have the dignity of sons of God and certain natural rights to ownership and a ,hare in the profits of industry which it is criminal to thwart.

It is difficult to appreciate these remarks, unless, they come from a body which has not realised its According to the Parsubordinate place in the order of things. liamentary Acts from which the Board derives its sole authority to legislate about any "planning," the Minister is well within his rights in over-ruling a suburban Road Board. Indeed, the Act says that his decision shall be final. It is not far removed from impertinence to be talking indignantly about "political intrusion." But statements of a more serious nature were made, which cannot be passed over without comment. Mr. G. Philpott went .,0 far as to accuse the Church authorities of violating a guarantee given to the Board. This is not true. The Board was assured that the present Chapel was, and the projected Chapel would be. private. And this assurance still stands.

If, moreover. Mr. Philpott is sincere in maintaining that his idea of its privacy has been already violated. Nvhv has the Board connived at this flagrant breach of the Town Planning Act during the last ten months? And why did it, in the first place. approve the complete plan which showed clearly what it was intended to build. After a considerable amount of money has been _spent, it is rather ridiculous to point out that the South 'Ward contains plenty of cheap land whereon could be built a building which is already -half-completed. • •

"A Night in June."
JOTTINGS Notice to Teachers
24, a fortnight's Mission will commence in All Hallows' Church, Boulder. Most parishioners are already well aware of the advent of the Mission, and they are asked to do all that they can to make the Mission a success. A little sacrifice may be necessary, but if they remember the benefits, to themselves and to the parish, that can be gained from a Mission, they will find it a pleasing duty. During the Mission a stall for the sale of all kinds of religious articles will be placed in front of the church. There will be someone in attendance every morning and evening. Parishioners can obtain any article they require at a very reasonable cost, and they are asked to vail themselves of this opportunity to obtain objects of piety that they may need.

Then, reverting to the Son of Mary and to the trials that awaited Him, he revealed what would ensue: "And thus," he added, "the thoughts which many hide in their hearts shall be revealed:" that is to say, in the Presence of the Christ—He who was to be for the scandal and the scorn this world—before Him all s-ecret thoughts should be unveiled. He would distinguish in this way between those who drea of riches, glory and temp, iral happiness as part of the coining of the Messiah, and those who, seeking Him for Himself, are prepared to welcome Him under whatever form he may appear. Mary listened in silence to this menacing prediction. Such as she appears to us now in t ! Lc Temple. such she ever remains t hroughout the whole gospel— enveloped in her modesty, her heart at times flooded with joys which no language can expre . ,, but oftener resigned under the s word which even now tore tliN Mother's heart in expectation of the end. "There was present also a Prophetess named Anna, daughter of "'hairnet, of the tribe of Aser. of a very advanced age. She had lived seven years with her husband since her virginity. and she had remained a widow up to her eighty-fifth year, never leaving the Temple ,and serving God night and day in fasting and prayer. It was this zeal for the House of God which merited for her that she should find therein, and therein adore, her Saviour. As she was coming into the Temple at that moment, she recognised the Child, Whom Simeon had blessed rendered thanks to Heaven for unveiling to her eyes this Mystery and praising the Lord her God she spoke of Him to all those who a waited the redemption of Israe l. The Lord, the God praised by the Prophetess, is manifestly Jesus: to Anna, (laughter of Phanuel, belongs, then, the signal honour of having first announced to Jerusalem the Divin ity of the Christ, which other most illustrious witnesses were soon to publish to the world .
Now there was at this time in Jerusalem a just man, and one who feared God, named Simeon, who lived in expectation of the consolation of Israel. The Holy Ghost was within him, and it had been revealed to hint by this Spirit of God that he should not surely die, before he had seen the Christ of the Lord." A t the moment when Mary and Joseph were approaching t he Sanctuary, that indwelling moving within the old man's heart, was conducting him to the Temple. There was nothing in their exterior to draw his gaze upon them—a poor tamily making their sin-offering, while in the arms of the mother there lay a little Child; and yet it was enough for him. To the eyes of the Seer this Infant appeared, what indeed He was, the long-expected Salvation, the ConMARY, MOTHER OF DIVIN E solation which he had waited for GRACE.

M ISS DOROTHY FORM13Y ( MRS. A. J. SCAIIILL). Miss Formby was the solo violinist in conjunction with the Western S tudio Orchestra in an attractive concert programme presented by the Australian Broadcasting Commission in the Assembly Hall on Tuesday night. Miss Formby's playing as solo violinist in Mendelssohn's Concerto in E M inor revealed a fluent. easy style, not lacking in vigour. She gave a satisfying interpretation of a work that makes high demands upon the per-

former. The opening movement, allegro molto appagsionata. was played firmly and incisively and the exhilarating final movement was dashed off at refreshing speed. The orchestra did its full share in securing an excellent rendering, which was duly appreciated. Miss Formby was educated by the Presentation Nuns, at St. tAloysius' Convent, Caulfield, Victoria, where she received her early musical training Later she studied under Mr. J. B. North. who was for many years conductor of file Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, At the age of 13 she was playing first violin under Mr. North's baton, and later became deputy leade! When 14 years of are. Miss Formby won a scholarship which gave her three years' tuition at the University Conservatorium. Her convent education had to give way to her musical studies and for three years she had a private tutoress. Miss Formby came to this State in 1925 to take up the position of leader of the orchestra at the Prince of Wales Theatre, and was subsequently engaged by Mr. Basil Kirke for broad. casting work. • Five Years ago Miss Formby married Mr. A. J. Scahill and for a time gave up her musical career, which however, was recently resumed with Station (MT in the Studio Orchestra. ITer most recent performance in the Assem blv Hall with augmented orchestra was notable, and the artist and the A.B.C. are to be congratulated on their enterprise and the high musical standattained.
