Doctor Outspoken on Conditions in The North A Christian View of the Aborigines Question
We welcome the frank tone of Dr. V. H. Webster's address at the May general meeting of the Australian Aborigines Ameloriation Association. It is the only public utterance of its kind that we can remember which could be thoroughly endorsed by Catholics. It sprang from a truly Christian conception of the nature of man (of which aboriginal man is no neglible part) and was developed in orthodox fashion. If Dr. Webster's allegations are true, the need of a thorough-going Christia n investigation is imperative. The doctor's eulogy of the Missions is welcome too, for commercial interests have striven to discredit their value. We reprint portion of the doctor's address below:—

Telling the Child the Facts of Life To many it comes as a shock that priests should now recommend Catholic children being taught the "facts of life." They contrast with this present attitude of the priests an older point oi view which advocated the reverse, which was in favour of reticence, silence and leaving children in ignorance of what life later really implied. But though older people are thus disconcerted by a change of policy in priests, they ought certainly to r ecognise that is is demanded now since the world, too, is hanged. In older days it was possible, 1.erhaps, to ensure a policy of silence, because children could probably, in very many instances, g row up sheltered from any danger, and did not very much need t o know about themselves. Certainly what was once true about t his is no longer possible. It is i!rpossible at present for children or anyone to escape the flaunting evidences of sex and s ex appeal. They cannot walk down the road and see the poster, on the hoardings. or turn over the advertisement pages of re Tectable magazines, or read ordinary hooks, or look at moving pictures. or listen to the "talkies," without being faced with all sorts of things that are plainly an exploitation of our human interest or curiosity in what is least to our good. It may be argued. on the other h and, that a child sees no harm i,- these things. misses the spice evil. yet. at first this is true. but gradually the weight of the (, •,session of sex must move them t o enquire at last what it is all references these about, what mean which they do not understand hut which interest grownup people. what it is that provokes so easily a laugh amongst the older members of the audiences. Sex is the god whom the world worships even more than it worships mammon. and it is a god whose claims are insistent and terrible, and without respite, and whose slime is over all. The World We Live In. But if the world is - like this, then children have to be educated to meet it. It is not the w orld of our heart's desire that they are entering; have entered; it is this actual world. Now education is at least a preparation for life. Since this is the life they have to encounter, it is well that they should be gradually prepared to meet it. be informed about it, i.e.. this actual w orld. To repeat. we do not praise this present fashion of sex-insistence. We believe that its arguments are false. We disbOeve the principle that the only way make the idea of sex normal and natural is to talk about it. This generation has talked about 't enough, but does not vet seem t o have got it normal or natural it is obsessed by it. in its litera ture. its drama and its art. It is not in the least normal, it is definitely abnormal about it. Any 7.,vehoanalyst would be the first to agree with this. Tt may be trne that the studied silence of the Victorians on the matter of sex provoked a morbid curiosity that created worse trouble. But there is no necessit— to chanrre
(By _Father Bede Jarrett, 0.P.) that untruthful attitude to sex problems for an attitude which is equally unwholesome and insincere. It is insincere for the folk of our time to tell us, for instance, that there is never any harm in knowledge. There is obviously no harm in any one knowing geography or history or mathematics of French irregular verbs; but knowing about the human body and its purposes may very easily be harinful. It depends on how it is given and who (rives it. We are obviously inflammable on the point of this particular knowledge. It can hurt our waking reveries and our dreams.
Even so, it often happens that children know more than those who think they understand them could have guessed; a child is secretive, especially in this matter. But if a child is ignorant, it does not follow there has been no hurt. Even if no one has told him (and he is always liable to be told by onv one, by another child, or a stra— acquaintance, a boy, a grown man) he may begin habits that only later he discovers to be evil later, when he will find it much harder to break himself of what he has begun to do than if he had known at first. Thus apart altogether from knowledge communicated trom outside, there is always a traitor Learns From Whom? within man's nature, since it is a fallen nature with a bias towards But this is our very reason for saying that, because knowledge evil.

The Extension of The Church in Japan The Catholic Church in Japan last year made another increase in keeping with the steady rate o f progress which it has maintained for the last ten years. During 1934-35, the number of Catholics in Japan proper rose from 103,271 to 105.660, a gain o f 2,389 as against 2,778 of the previous year. The Archdiocese of Tokyo, the most heavily populated of all the Catholic missionary territories of the country, again had the largest -number of conversions, 457. The Diocese of Osaka was second with 220, and the Vicari ate of Sapporo, whose total population is nine millions less than that of Osaka, was third with 215 conversions.

:-: DISSATISFACTION IN QUEBEC RELIGIOUS AND RACIAL EXTREMISM
In a message of exceptional interest the Canadian Correspondent of "The Times" has described certain racial, political and religious movements that are at the moment disturbing the Province of Ouebec. The Province of Quebec, it will be remembered, is almost entirely Catholic, and the great majority of its inhabitants are o f French descent. Quebec in fact has sprung straight, as it were, from the missionary and cultural work of the saintly Bishop Laval and Pere Joliet. Yet by what seems like a miracle to our generation this French-Catholic colony has lived on substantial terms of amity and harmony with the British-Protestant conquerors and settlers surrounding itA group of liberal malcontents forming "L'Astion Liberate Nationale," under the leadership of Mr. Paul Gouin, has, however, for some time been -complaining of the alleged reactionary, capitalist and "foreign" policy of the Premier.

ating in the province, and as they are in the main controlled by English-speaking Canadians, or Americans, it was easy for their critics to exploit the strong sentiment of FrenchCanadian racialism, which has deep and ancient roots. It began to be preached that the French-Canadians were being exploited by "foreigners" and "foreign trusts," and that they were being condemned to the role of hewers of wood and drawers of water for alien masters. There also came into existence throughout the province organisations of young men styling themselves "The Young Patriots," "The Young Generation," and "Young Canada," whose leaders boldly preached economic and political separatism. "By some zealots local particularism was carried so far that they urged the FrenchCanadian inhabitants of each parish to reserve their busiStateness for themselves. ments like the following, made at a recent meeting, illustrate the temper of these young racial nationalists of Quebec:—

DRINKWATER. paragraph The little newspaper which follows is just an ordinary Means-Test suicide such as happens every day, and nobody but a liturgical extremist would be struck by the date of its announcement. which was March 25. The only reason I choose it for a text is because its special circumstances may appeal to our Distributist friends, who are found chiefly in (2atholic circles. "Fearing that his unemployment benefit would be taken away because he had a cow and a tew fowls. , aged 59, an unemployed blacksmith, committed suicide, lie drank poison and cut his throat out, . This was side his home in the evidence given by his daughter at the inquest to-day, when a Verdict of suicide while of unsound mind was returned." Apart from the above paragraph, my information about the incident is nil, and I am not quoting it to prove anything or draw any moral; but merely to record its suggestion to my own mind_, that a little bit of "property,' and presumably of land also, is not much use in these days unless it is joined to a little money-income of some sort. Future of Farming. It applies to things larger than a fowl-run. Two of the Catholic Land Association farms are still going strong, I am glad to hear; the others have closed down one by one, and why? The reason, if I understand aright. is because there is no prospect of obtaining a Government grant. Subsistence farming, even if carried on by devoted pioneers who ask for no individual income, needs to have some money behind it somehow. Either it will be financially parasitic upon the town taxpayer, or it will have some share in the socialised communitycredit. Not long ago I was -talking to an English-born couple who have come back from the United States and got w ork here. They had lived for many years in a great American city, and their children (still young) had all been born there; and for three y ears since the "depression" they had endured continuous unemployment. They were "on relief." and all their absolute needs were looked after by some agency or other. Food-rations, second-hand clothing; medical attention, leather for boot repairs, were all prnvided by somebody; rent was sus-
pended; cigarettes and even cinematickets were served out occasionally. One thing only was never on any account given—never any money. A Degradation. For three years this family had lived without handling any money at all— never a cent for car-fare, never a cent ( ecclesiastics please note!) to put on Rightly or the plate in church. wrongly they felt this as a degradaIt seemed like going on for tion. ever, so at last they remembered their British nationality and somehow got themselves repatriated to this country, where the father and one or two children immediately get jobs and have kept them. I forgot to ask what the jobs are—probably some early stage in the process of bombing human beings from the air. For a A nyhow, you see the idea. family to be without a money-income Money is unendurable degradation. is the symbol of choice. of freedom of independence, of any security at all that is higher than slave-status. No, right word—a symbol is not the money-income is the reality of these things. Asking For War. If you decree that (for ordinary citizens( a money-income shall only be obtainable through employment, you are degrading the unemployed below a You are also demandhuman level. ing that employment shall be provided at all costs, which means (as all the European countries are now hastening to demonstrate) employment on ar, maments for armaments' sake. You are therefore asking (dear reader) for War; and You will get it. if on don't change Your ideas very soon! To our Distributist friends, then, I want to suggest that one form of "property" most suitable .to modern circumstances is a small money-income. I do not mean invested savings. There is little to be said for savings nowadays. Savings (as a social institution) involve avarice almost inevitably: say. ings need "protecting" by class legislation: savings enable you to live in freedom by enslaving somebody else. No, but a small monev-income held as a right—not an income you earn by work. but an income which enable, you to work; that social dividend, and nothing less than that, is what modern society needs if every justice and peace are to be firmly established again.

MR. McKENZIE KING, Prime Minister of Canada. "The government is the slave of A nglo-Saxon high finance, which has its say in all legislation . . which has no interest in our prosperity or in the misery of our people. . .

For this startling policy of Gouin claims the support of Cardinal Villeneuve, Archbishop of Quebec, and it is said that the movement has received a powerful impetus from the adhesion of many of the younger Catholic clergy. The Cardinal, however, together with other bishops, has forbidden the clergy to interfere in politics, and the correspondent doubts whether the Cardinal really backs the particularist ideas of the Quebec racial extremistsThe movement is causing much anxiety in the Dominions, an anxiety expressing itself in the view of a Presbyterian minister that "a widespread anti-English and anti-Protestant movement is sweeping Canada." "It may' be," concludes the c orrespondent. "that the racial movement in Quebec is a passing phase," but. "for the moment Quebec shares with Alberta the distinction of being a chief focus of political interest in Canada."

The committee are doing everything in their power to make sure that this, the most important function of the year, will be truly representative of the spirit of the Catholic Young Men's Society in Fremantle. Members are asked to . help the committee as much as possible by attending in large numbers. The breakfast will be held in St. Patrick's Hall after the Mass and our energetic and untiring ladies' committee are catering for at least eighty of our members. A charge of 1/6 will be made for senior and junior members, and members under the age of sixteen years will be charged a shilling.

These indicate naturally a belief in the existence of evil spirits just as does the Church's ritual for exorcisms. But among the pagan religions there is hardly a trace of exorcism in the strict sense, and even in the Old Testament there is no instance of demons being dispelled by men, though the Talmud contains incantations for exorcising. But superstition and magic apart, it is implied in Christ's answer to the Pharisees, who accused Him of casting out devils by Beelzebub, that some Jews in His time successfully exorcised demons in God's name. In the New Testament Our Lord's authority is pledged for t he reality of demoniacal possession. Despite the rationalists' assertion that lunacy and paralysis were often mistaken for possession, we find that Christ, far from correcting the prevailing ideas, actually encouraged them by word and actionHe directly addresses the demons. not their victims; He tells His Apostles how the demon acts when expelled; explains why they had failed in exorcising; and warns the seventy-two against vain pride in that demons were subject to them. He even conferred on the Apostles express power -over unclean spirits, to cast them out." Before the Ascension He ennumerated it as one of the signs that would confirm the Christian revelation: "In M y name they shall cast out devils." While we admit that mistakes were made in the past in the diagnosis of such cases, and results attributed to diabolical agency that were really due to natural causes. it would be illogical to conclude that the whole idea of possession rest On imposture and ignorance. its r eality is certain as we have shown above from the New Testament.

TIE E MAY METAPHOR
THIRTEEN
By Dom William, O.S.B.
Although we are in the last week of May, the month specially dedicated to Our Lady. the following article from the pen of Rev. Dom William, 0.S.B., will be found refreshing and devotional. For devotion to Mary is not intended by the Church to be confined to any special period. It is a perennial spring which never fails of refreshment and delight: In the old country May is a propitious month to nature. It is the Spring of life- The seasonal stimulates buds and W armth leaves; the flower bursts open in grace and glory, and youths and m aidens enjoy the frolics of Longfellow, in his own y outh. popular way, sings of the grace of a European May in the following lines: All things are new—the

ChristThis is to say something, and something very true. rile King is the first man in he realm, and the Queen is the second after him. Shortly before His Passion, Christ was asked by Pilate; "Art Thou the King of the Jews?" He answered: "Thou sayest it." On such evidence the question, "What is wrong with Catholics regarding devotion to Mary?" has often puzzled me. I think the question misapplied. Those outside the pale : :IA hat is should rather ask wrong with Christendom regarding devotion to Mary?"

TIk© Negleviet. _--Daraulefe Sunday marks the Feast of Pentecost, a holy day of tremendous import to the Catholic Church. For the descent of the Holy Ghost upon the Apostles means infinitely .more than a mere curious spiritual phenomenon. Catholics are apt to forget its real significance and to regard the wonder of Pentecost as the gifts -of wisdom and prophecy which were bestowed upon the Apostles on that occasion. Actually these were of least moment; they constituted the charismata, those preternatural aids which God lent to the infancy of the Church, and which were taken away in its maturity. Their real significance was their illustrative force of the power and beneficence of the Spirit of God when He first came to abide for all time with His mystical Spouse, the Catholic Church. The fruition of Christ's earthly labours is not found on Mount He had come to Golgotha. nor even on the Resurrection Day. strike from mankind the shackles of sin, to destroy the dominion of Lucifer and to restore to humanity its highest privilege, lost in Adam—the supernatural life of grace, which was nothing less than This was the indwelling of the Holy Ghost in human souls. not acbut Calvary, of Sacrifice the by possible potentially made tually until Pentecost morning, when the Holy Ghost, shut out from the world so long In- Adam's sin, was once more sent, at-z• in the beginning, to move over the face of the earth.

It is commonly said that the Blessed Eucharist was the part.ng Gift of Our Lord Jesus Christ to the sons of men. Not less a legacy surely was the promise of the Paraclete. His coming was the uppermost thought in the mind of Christ in the discourse after the Last Supper. And when on Olivet, His disciples were about to see His visible presence for the last time, He consoled them by the promise: "You shall receive the power of the Holy Ghost coming upon you.- It might be said that at the time of the Ascension, Peter's Barque—the Church—was finished to the last detail, completely rigged and with a full crew. Yet it drifted languidly by the shore until Pentecost morning when the Holy Spirit billowed its sails and gave to it that tremendous impetus which was to set it scudding across the seas of the whole earth. Its crew was animated by a new and indomitable energy and enterprise which would fade out neither from them nor from their successors. Few Catholics realise, even partially, the astonishing part which the Holy Ghost plays in the corporate life of the Church and in the sanctification of its individual members.

SPORT
One of the subjects which arose for discussion, and received endorsement, at the Headmasters' Conference in Adelaide last week, was that of Sunday sport, which is the piece de resistance in the Assemblies of our non-conformist brethren. The discussion which this subject has provoked leads one. to believe that the modern mind tends towards futility in the matter of religion. Outside the Church there appears to exist positive genius for camel-swallowing and a distressingly painful straining at the gnats. Not that working on a Sunday is a small matter, but that playing on the Sabbath is an irrelevant one to the question of its sanctity. Catholics believe in common with all Christians that God commanded. one day of the week to be dedicated to Himself in an especial way. This is achieved in its primary sense by the direct worship Catholics fulfill this obligation in the highest possible of -God. manner l,v offering the Holy Sacrifice. The dispute arises out of the second part of the Commandment, which forbids servile work on the Sabbath. It is obvious that this is not of such importance as the...direct worship of God, and it seems that mere inactivity is not a positive end in itself. It is unlikely that God would be glorified merely by such negative Man is methods. It appears rather as a means to an end. supany business (or routine ordinary his aside lay to ommanded c
plementary financial affairs) that he may fulfil the primary duty of worship with a free, undistracted mind and undivided attention. Nor is it improbable that God intended the Sabbath in a secondary way to give man a much-needed relaxation of mind and body which is necessary both for his physical and spiritual well-being. It is exceedingly dubious whether this would be gained in idleness, especially as the Scriptures .are so insistent as to its dangers. In the light of these considerations. the Catholic Church has never protested against healthy recreation on Sundays, but has Provided one attends to the fundamental rather encouraged it. reason for the Sabbath's existence, there is no reason for moping about for the rest of the day. It might. however. be offered as a counsel that Catholics should end the day as they began it, by worshipping in the Temple of God. In no aspect can sport he classed either as work or as servile work, unless, of course. in these days of professionalism, there is money connected with it. The same applies to a number of indoor pastimes and hobbies. Catholics imagine with a good deal of reason that a marr is better situated gambolling on the grass than in cutting it on Sunday. gitinEENgrgig

"A Night in June." It may come as a shock to the readers of "The Record- to learn that South Perth is holding its annual night out---"A .

You see we have very little to boast about over here—in fact, we have a lot to explain. for example, not having a church on such a site--but we are the only parish, north or south of the river, who have a Pagoda, and we open it once a year for "A Night in June.

JOTTINGS
St. Mary's, Southern Cross
Though the Catholic population in Guildford was never large, still they have done excellent work in the past for the advancement of religion and education. For a long period Holy Mass was held in the School-Church, as the Catholics of Guildford devoted their means to enable the late Father Morris to provide buildings in Midland Junction and Bassendean for the spread of teligion and education. These places were part of the Guildford parish at the time. After such unselfish sacrifice on the part of Guildford, we are now confident that the Midland and Bassendean Catholics will show their gratitude in a substantial and tangible manner.
The new Church of St, Mary's, Southern Cross, was blessed and opened by His Lordship Rt. Rev. Dr. Catalan, 0.S.B., on April 26. This striking design was made by Rev. Father Gusi, who was in Australia with the Lord Abbot of Montserrat early ii) the year. It will be noticed that the design is symbolic. with crosses in the grilled windows. In the grille work itself the Greek letters Alpha and Omega are to be seen, e xpressing the eternity of God and in a relative sense the indefectibility of th, Churc h

St. Mary's, Leederville
The fortnight's Mission conducted in St. Mary's parish by the Rey. Fathers Gorey and Scanlan, C.SS.R., w as concluded on Sunday last. The various exercises were well attended. and at times St. Mary's proved too small for the va,st congregation that sought accommodation. Reference must also be made to the large attendances at the six o'clock Mass and as s time passed so numerous became the Communicants that a second priest helped in the distribution of Communion .so as to make time for the instruction.
Our bazaar* workers, like our West Perth football team, whose headquarters is Leederville Oval, are working themselves into form. The note each week of our set weekly entertainments is crescendo, and if the rate of acceleration is maintained a little longer, we shall see before long St. Mary's spacious hall thronged as in the halcyon days of our success, Our Weekly Dance yields to none in the value provided We have a for the money received. very tine hall, a splendid orchestra ( Mrs. Smith's), an appetising supper, and fun galore, without any rough element.

Daring the first week of the Mission the nine o'cloc..ti Mass and instruction was for the children of the parish. On Sunday morning fast, the general Communion of all parishioners took place, and was a very edifying spectacle. In spite of the fact that a special Mass was celebrated for the children at 8.30 a.m., the church was tilled to its utmost and practically all approached the attar rails, which niu.A, have been very consoling to the priests who worked in our midst. Sunday evening witnessed the grand closing scene of the 1936 Mission. Seldoin before have more people congregated in our church, The seating accommodation was uncomfortably tillecl, extra seating accommodation was provided wherever it would fit, even the altar rails were occupied, and still some must stand. After his grand sermon, reminiscent of our late Archbishop- Rev. Father Gorey enabled all to renew their baptismal VOWS to renuounce Satan with all his works and pumps, and then imparted t he Apostolic Blessing. and so passes into the memory of holy things a Mission which cannot fail but bring spiritual blessings to our parish and an increase of fervour and devotion During this week shorter - lissions are being given in Kurrawang and Coolgardie, On Monday last about one hundred men were enrolled in the Holy Name During the previous fort. Society. night frequent references had been made to this Society and to the desire of His Grace that men should enrol under its banner. Rev. Father Gorey, C.SS.R., at the first meeting, explained what was expected of membership, and touched on some of the vital pro. blems affecting Catholic men in the world of to-day. Following the instruction and the distribution of the badges and manuals, the H.N.S. pledge was taken and then Benediction was given. The annual St. John of God's Ball will take place on Wednesday and Thursday. June 3 and 4.
Mrs. Sydney Blechvnden, of East Lynne, Beverley, has spent the last two months in Hobart and the Blue Mountains, and is now holidaying in Adelaide.
The Catholics of Guildford are de lighted to see their church in course of erection. When it is finished their long-cherished wish to have a well equipped parish in the way of build. ings, namely, church, school, presbytery and hall, will be fulfilled.

For almost five years it has been my consolation and encouragement to have your faithful and zealous support backing up the various little efforts that have been made through this Page for the financing of the Scheme A good many of you know well that m y ways and means of raising this necessary money is very limited, and t he ways would be still more limited la my personal inability did you your-.

Through the benign interest of His Grace the Archbishop. I have been given a grand start by two donations w hich he sent last week. His Grace ha c requested me to ask the Busbies to pray for the repose of the soul of the one who made the benefaction of £100 possible. and knowing that all of y ou are holy and good. I would ask each and everyone of You to offer some Tit tle prayer for that soul, since you will be as pleased and grateful about t he matter as I am. The donor of the £50, though in the land of the living, deserves a prayer of gratitude also, and though he is hiding himself behind an anonymity that I cannot piece. I am hoping he will know how appreciative I am of his big donation when he sees I have placed him among "The Blessed in Heaven."

But the only fools to follow the star Were three Wise Men.shone a strange Star actually out suddally in the eastern sky. their minds had little hesitation in coming to a decision, and selecting three they sent them to travel afar in search of Him ot whose approach the heavens were telling. These Magi must have been many long months. journeying; and they had proceeded apparently without any further guidance from the Star, since we see them entering Judea quite uncertain as to the spot where tht Messiah was to be found, and coming to Jerusalem to clear up all their doubts. The Holy City was accustomed to seeing within her walls caravans from the far distant Orient, but great must have been the surprise when these strangers were heard to inquire: "Where is the King of the Jews, who has been born? We have seen His Star in the East, and are come to adore Him." This question, flying from lip to lip, came to the ears of Herod. No one could be more disturbed than he at the rumour of a newborn King of the Jews, conscious as he was that his thirty y ears' reign had not been able to sanctify his pretensions to Royalty in his subject's eyes. At once the tyrant's jealousy was aroused to a savager intensity than ever, for this unknown Babe, destined to the throne, could be none other than the M essiah; and it was easy to see from the excitement which pervaded the city that all Jerusalem was reading the occurrence in that light. Dissembling his fears, in order t o strike a better directed blow, Herod convened a council composed of High Priests and Scribes, and ordered them to declare where - the Messiah should be born. The answer could not be misunderstood. "In Bethlehem of Juda," they said : "for it is written. 'And thou, Bethlehem.. land of Juda, thou are not the last among the principalities of Juda, for from thee shall spring the Chief Who shall f eed the flock of Israel, My people.' " These members of the Sanhedrin did not so much quote the words of the Prophet Micheas as they interpreted his thought ; but Herod saw only too clearly what he had wished to know, and his plans were at once settled•

He resolved to separate the Magi, not only from the Jews, who must naturally be all afire with emotion at this tale, but even from his own associates, who might well have warned them against his hypocrisy. He summoned them to him, theretore, in secret, and feigning great interest in their quest, he made exact inquiry as to the Star, particularly as to the time when it had made its appearance. So soon as there was nothing more to learn, "Go to Bethlehem," ne said to them; "seek z ealously L. the child, and as soon as you have found him make it kno\\ n to me, in order that may go also to adore him." And he despatched them on the instant, without guides, without escort„ thus giving no time for any \yarning), in order that no one, either at Jerusalem or at Bethlehem, or among the retinue of the Magi, might suspect his intentions and rob him of his Victim, Night had fallen upon the city; Herod saw in all this the very moment adapted to his designs. It was but to result in their confusion. Scarcely had the Magi passed beneath the gates of Jerusalem w hen the Star shone out anew upon their gaze. "This sight filled them with great joy ;" for the Star, leading them on their way, preceded them to Bethlehem, and rested above the place where they were to find the Babe. There they found only Mary and Jesus. Whereupon that holy night witnessed a wondrous spectacle; at the feet of a Virgin. clasping within her arms a voung Child; these three sages fell prostrate in the dust, and adored the Godhead enshrined within this poor abode. Round about them, their attendants were eagerly bestirring themselves on all sides: the camels, too. had bent their knees, while the retainers lightened them of their precious bur (lens. Then the Magi, opening these treasures, made offering- of them to Jesus. These were gold. incense and myrrh. THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK.

Capital Punishment Archbishop Kelly's Statement sentence finally confirmed, so that the condemned man would by a worthy preparation for death secure eternal life. Thus, to speak to the point, Christian repentance will make the !scaffold itself a special atonement, a proper preparation for a merciful judgment after death, which means eternal salvation—a place among the just in the happiness of God for all eternity. " We may add, according to Catholic Christian doctrine that Pastors of the Church, parents, teachers, and superiors of juniorates will not be excused by God for the consequence of negligenc,' or incztution regarding the inherent evil dtspositions of 0111 human nature, especially in adolescence. The children or pupils committed to their care thus neglected, if unrepentant, will cry out for vengeance from the endless prison of hell.
HIS GRACE MOST REV. DR. KELLY. Archbishop of Sydney.
In reference to the recent hanging of Hickey In .\4 cw ()Lti.h Wales, and the agitation which w as raised in many quarters in regard to tile ethics of capital punishment, the following statement by Archbishop Kelly, of interesting. His Sydney, is urace defines the attitude of the Church towards the death sentence. His Grace writes: Our diocesan co-operation in the Howard Prison Reform League agitation for the reprieve of death sentences calls dutifully for an official reply, or answer. .1. his reply, in our duty to public opinion, is best given in an open letter, as follows: The law of personal conscience impressed by the Creator, and in the earliest chapters of the Old Testament, dictates that if anyone takes another's life, let his own life be taken, whether Christian or pagan. The teaching of the Gospel is that Christianity canic not to repeal the law, but, to enforce it; that we have the order from the very lips of Our Saviour: 'Fear not him who can kill the. body but cannot touch the soul. But fear ye him who casts body and soul into hell! Do penance, and your sins shall be blotted out. "During my residence in Rome, under the Papal Sovereignty, it was the rule that after a sentence of death had been pronounced, a special council of mercy reviewed the case. If the sentence was confirmed, then the Council, called `Signatura,' had the above
"We sincerely condole with the family and friends concerned in their affliction, and on this point the teaching of the Church and the grace of God will enable them to bear their trial in humiliation and patience in the confident hope of the better life secured by a happy death. The text ‘vill apply to them: 'The mercies o f God. T will sing forever."
INTY-SECOND YEAR.
Four Score Years Suntiay, the "'east of Penecost, appropriately enough, the Holy Father will celebrate his 80th. birthday. Born at Desio, near Milan, in 1857, Achilles Ratti was ordained priest at the age of 22, and secured the triple doctorate, viz-, in Philosophy, Theology, and Canon Law. A fter a few years professorship in the Milan Seminary, he succeeded Monsignor Ceriani as Librarian of the famous Ambrosian Library in Milan, and in 1911 was appointed Assistant to Cardinal Elide, Sj., in the Vatican ib rary. J ust prior to the end of the W ar, he was sent to Poland as Apostolic Visitor, and in 1919 was consecrated Titular Archbishop of Lepanto. zul(l became the first Papal Nuncio to the new Republic. After two years of very successful diplomatic work, Archbishop Ratti was transferred to the See of Milan and at the same time was raised to the Cardinalate. Eminent as a scholar, writer, and statesman, he proved no less capable as an administrator, and during this period, too, won fame as an A lpinist. On February 6, 1921 he was elected to the Chair of Peter, and as the Supreme Bishop has shed an unrivalled lustre over his exalted office. Addressing a group of French journalists in Rome recently, the

Catholic Social Service Worker First Almoner at St. Vincent's, Sydney Arts degree and the diploma in social service. Another twelve months were spent in gaining practical experience with the New York Catholic Charities t he Children's Bureau in Cleveland ( Ohio), and with the Family Welfare )3ureatt in Los Angeles. She returned to ,Australia in 1931, and for three months did practical work at the Melbourne Hospital, and then was appointed to the St. Vincent's Hospital as almoner, where she has worked very successfully for the past four y ears. During this period Miss Parker was granted the Diploma of the Victorian Institute of Almoners. Her organisation of the almoner department in Melbourne developed steadily and extended winning wide recognition as a vital part of the hospital or. ganisatiop. Miss Parker has the distinction of building up one of the first almoner departments in Australia.
MISS NORMA PARKER, M.A., who was formerly almoner for St. Vincent's Hospital, Melbourne, left on the 4th. inst. for Sydney, where she has been appointed as first almoner at St. Vincent's Hospital. A native of this State. Miss Parker was educated at the Sacred Heart High School, Highgate, and graduated Bachelor of Arts in the University of W.A. in 1928. Immediately afterwards she left for America, where she pursued a two-year ;,raduate course at the University of W ashington. securing her Master of

Her new appointment in Sydney will be one of pioneering too, for the almoner movement is still in its infancy there. But the next few years should see rapid growth and Miss Parker's experience and personality shouM -enable her to play a prominent part in the development of this important work. Explaining the work of the ahnoner, Miss Parker says that the trained person forms a link between the patient and the doctor. If the patient is a nervous case the doctor must know a lot that the patient does not tell, not because of any stubbornness or secretiveness. hut because, having become accustomed to his environment, he does not notice the very thing which, perhaps. may be contributing to his illness. Tt is the al
THE HOLY FATHER.
Holy Father referred to his approaching birthday. "I hope you vill return to Rome soon," said the Pope. "But you must come soon, as I am nearly 80 and I. cannot make appointments so far ahead. But in any case, if I am not here, there will be another man in white for, as the Romans say, when one Pope dies . another is made." Catholics, the world over, will be joined together in fervent prayers on Sunday next, that the Holy Father may yet be spared many years for the glory of God and the advancement of the Church. moner's duty to go to the home and bring back a helpful report for the Frequently, when there are doctor. children in the home, it may be necessary to go to the schools and get a teacher's report, "An almoner, to be the help to the doctor that is expected of her, must also map out a plan which will help the patient to help himself—and that is not always easy." Even a person who has always enjoyed the best of good health will admit that there is not much sense in a doctor advising a bread-line patient with three or four hungry children at home that he must rest in the country for three or four months. and let it go at that. Here. again, is where the almoner shows her value. She must, by some means, make it possible for the patient to carry out the doctor's advice. Other little jobs which fall to the lot of an almoner may be arranging for the keep of the children of a sick mother, interviewing the husband, seeing that relatives who can afford to help do help, arranging for poor patieints on special diets to obtain the specrPI items required. education of patients in their horiles in regard to ther special treatment, and. in the case of diabetic datients, seeing that t heir "kind" frinds do not tempt them with just a little of this or that
