"CATHOLIC
ACTION"?
THE END, THE MEANS AND THE PREPARATION To commence with definition. Catholic Action received its simplest definition from Pope Pius XI., its revivor, in these words: "Catholic Action is the admission of the laity to share in the apostolic mission of the hierarchy.- It is necessary from the beginning to realise that Catholic Action is a revival It is rather than an innovation. unique, that in our time, the catholic: layman should be re-admitted to participate in the apostolic work of the For four hundred years he Church. has been a bond-man in the household where he was born free. But what is worse, he became alarminly infected with that most evil piece of post-reformation philosophy which we call "departmental thinking." Life was sub-divided into a hundred and one water-tight categories, utterly reBusiness, pleamote and unrelated. sure, religion, nationality—these varied aspects of the one thing—became artifically established as separate and uncorrelated. It even went as far as to give these activities some sort of mathematical proportion in which religion was assigned the somewhat niggardly fraction of 1.336 (i.e., an allowance of half an hour a week). It was inevitable that such a stultification of reason would end in anything other than materialism. Yet one could not even say that life stank of the earth —the smell was merely of the stale , over-crowded air of factory and emYet all the while, Catholic porium. philosophy had been harping on the fact that life was not a thing so much as an organism. True it consisted of varied functions, but they were one and all subservient to one end--the _serSo far from religion vice of God. being one of many vital aspects. it was the unique substratum upon which all else depended for its validity and indeed for its permanence. But scholastic philosophy was a thin unavailing voice while the money changers filled 'even the temple with their raucous Men had found business. shouting. divorced from morality, so much easier They didn't want pholto conduct. osophy for it had always been the hand-maiden of theology, and by hook or by crook (mostly by crook), that had to be kept out of business. Well. this unnatural system collapsed through the fact that its grossness was denied by all the fundamental instincts and the reason of humanity. As systems, both materialism and rationalism. are on the shelf. Our own century sees the world in a natural enough Spiritualism, theosophy, reaction. Christian Science, etc., represent an exaggerated emphasis on the spirit as ol:posed to the 19th. centui,e's devotion t • the corpse. But most of all there is exhibited a definite urgency outside the Church for some sort of authority ) eYen in religion). Yet many Catholics remain as crudely and inexplicably departmentalised as before. This is the iunclamental falsehood of our time. To smash it would be di5cult, for it has t he accumulated repetition of 400 years behind it, and most Catholics even are not sure whether there is an alternative view, and if so, what it is. BriefIgnatius ly our belief, outlined by !Loyola, is this: An intelligent God created man for a purpose. This was that he should by his reason and by revelation come to know God. Knowledge of such an object begets love EveryLove is proven in service. thing outside the individual was also created by God to assist him towards the fulfilment of his raison &etre. It therefore follows that the rational man • must use everything about him— "creatures" in so far as they help towards this end, and shun them in so 1-ar as they hinder. In the case of indifferent things—that is those which at any given moment do not clearly help or hinder—he must preserve a neutral attitude or rather such a spiritual balance he will be ready to use or reject them immediately their This, of function becomes clear. cc urge, is a fundamental of the most rigid type. You can see it gives no It hangs on play to the emotions. the stern effective will plus the grace of God. Its chief difficulty, however, lay in the fact that it was abstract Even when it was more clearly formulated in the Ten Commandments, it s till broke down in point of actual rbservance because men cannot follow t wo tables of stone, even though the 1,soltite moral authority of God Himself stood behind them. Mon are more than effective wills. They have bodies and therefore emotions. So God gave them a Leader—one precisely as them. selves in all except sin. That person Before I come to was Jesus Christ.

These study clubs (I speak out of modest experience) should be small, not exceeding 15 or so in membership, to ensure thoroughness, personal contact with the leader, and opportunity for individual difficulties to be met. The spiritual aspect should be made para. mount by practical Catholicity and by extensive study of the Life and spirit of Christ. Also they ought to be as informal as possible. Chop out the multiplicity of office-bearers, subscriptions, red tape, etc. Leave the leader of the group a good measure of autocracy. In the absence of competent leaders it would be advisable to seek the attendance of the priest at the meetings. In any case group leaders should he in constant contact with priests who have what the Pope desires, "a healthy modern outlook." For the essence of Catholic Action must be co-operation with, and subordination to the hierarchy. There should be, however, a great intellectual lay leadership If it does not come from the ranks of this society, it will never come.

St. Columba's, South Perth
Sacred Heart Sodality. On Sunday evening, July 5, the Sacred Heart Sodality was reorganised, and the following prefects appointed: Mrs. J. Lynch (St. Francis of Assisi Guild), Mrs. Jarvis (St. Patrick's Guild), and Miss Marie Dominish (St. Aloysius Gonzaga Guild), for girls still at school. Two guilds were formed for men, who wish to continue membership in the Sodality. The prefects are Mr. J. Lynch (St. Columba Guild), and Mr. T. Egan (St. Ignatius Loyola Guild). The new manuals were distributed. The devotions are much more attractively arranged in the new manual. No special guild was formed for boys, because it is hoped that all the boys of the parish will join the Junior Holy Name Society. Mr. Ken Kennedy, the prefect of the Junior Holy Name, intends visiting the C.B. College and St. Patrick's Boy& School to enroll all the South Perth

A wireless message from Wagin announces that Mrs. Luscombe is leaving the farm for that occasion. No one will he more welcome.
To-morrow the first meeting of the Holy Name Society will take place, and we are all anxiously awaiting the first fruits of Father Cahill's, C.SS.R., appeal. Our enthusiasm would be much higher had we badges to give to all our members, but we are patient, knowing that they will be available soon. The officials of our Holy Name Society are: President, Mr. Frank Walsh; vice-president, Mr. W. Kinane treasurer and secretary, Mr. Frank Murphy, Angelo-street: choir 'master, Mr. J. Lynch; marshal, Mr. T. Egan. The prefects are: Messrs. T. Egan, J. Patterson, B. Herbert. The sub-prefects are Messrs. J. King, W. Patterson, John McMullen. In charge of the Junior Guild are Messrs. Ken and Dick Kennedy. Space does not permit a proceselon, nor is it possible for the men to go to their own guilds for Mass. All these impressive details must await our new church.

The usual monthly meeting of all branches of the Holy Name Society will be held to-morrow night at 7.30 p.m. Members are asked to take their proper places in their respective guilds and also to give the prefects of the guild the money for their badges, 1/6.

I have frequently talked about that glaring example of social and economic injustice within our gates, which has become known as "The A boriginal Problem," with intelligent and sincere non-Catholics. and have nearly always been tempted to throw up my hands in despair, so hopeless does it seem. On the other hand, treated on Catholic principles, the matter becomes simple. and one is driven to conclude, as in so many other social "problems," "How easy would he the solution—if only Australia were a Catholic country !" For this reason it is particularly distressing to find, as I have Catholics found, numbers of whose attitude towards the unhappy state of the aboriginal and half-caste population of Western Australia can be explained only by ignorance of the facts or by failing to apply to those facts the principles of their religion. It will be my aim in this, and the following articles, to give a brief account of the present state of the aborigines of Western Austarlia and of the work that is being done among them by Catholic organisations, and also an indication of what might be done in the future. I propose to commence by pointing out the general lines along which Catholics are obliged by the principles of their Faith to regard this matter of aboriginal welfare. It is necessary in the first place to insist that the aborigines are human beings. and in no essential way different from ourselves. 41 They are descended from our First Parents. created hy our Common Creator in His own image and for a supernatural destiny, and with us are involved in the punishment of the Fall, and the whole the Redemption of human race by the Incarnation and the Atonement of Our Lord. These are facts that are as firmly established as any in Chrisian T heology.

He therefore returned to his Community at Goulburn in order to bid the members goodbye. and to resign from his office. They had ever held him in the esteem in which he had held them, and he felt very deeply the step he felt obliged to take; and of their devotedness and fidelity he has spoken in none but the highest of terms. Then, seeking not consolation but the simple truth, and with nothing to gain and all to lose from this world's point of view, he returned to Sydney and was received into the Catholic Church by Dr. Rumble on Saturday, May 2, being confirmed by His Grace Archbishop Sheehan on the folStill consumed hy lowing day. the one desire, of serving Our Lord. and devoting the rest of his life to the salvation of souls, Mr. Davies left Sydney recently for Rome. intending to enter the Beda College in order to prepare for his ordination as a Catholic priest.

"Father Davies," however, had before returned to Australia Father Johnson's conversion, and joined the Anglican Community of the Ascension at Goulburn, where he was Novice Master for some Years. and during the last In Anseven years, Superior. glican circles, "Father Davies" was known far and wide throughout Australia as a preacher of missions and retreats. and was deeply respected for his integrit• of character and zeal for souls by all who knew or came into contact with him. In the course of his ministry, however. he became more and more acutely conscious of the difficulties of Anglicanism with its toleration of so many differences in teaching and Nvorship. and its lack of disciplinary authority. Convinced, after long and anxious thought, that the Anglican Church could not posof sibly be the true Church Christ. nor even a part of the true Church as he had hitherto believed, he decided, to make a closer study of the claims of Rome. For this purpose he sought an interview with the Rev. Dr. Rumble, M.S.C., at Kensington. whose book of collected "Radio Replies. he had read, and whom he knew to be a convert also from Angl icanism .

That missionary ardour which is at once the glory and the life of the Church is the fulfilment of this command, and the fact that the Catholics of Australia have taken very little, if any, part in initiating and supporting missions to our aboriginal people is not a fact for tts to be proud of. According to the official figures there are still 25,000 natives in Western Australia. Of these less than 500 are under the influence of Catholic missions. It is therefore at the outset obvious that whatever the Church is doing there is a good deal more to be done. For Catholics who live in districts where natives are common, particularly in the far North of the State, to believe that "the native is best left alone.- there may be some little Religion is not a very excuse. powerful influence in many of their lives. and living as they A good deal has been said in do ill an atmosphere of subthe name of science about the conscious conflict their attitude place of the Australian aborigine i;often biassed.

Litvinolf denied before the Council of the League of Nations that the Soviet Government had any connection whatsoever with the secret Communist propaganda and the revolutionary occurrences in various South American States.
"De Maasbode," the Dutch Catholic newspaper. has obtained the Communist secret circular of November last concerning the Communist plan of action for the preparation of a revolution in Brazil. It proves that Litvinoff's statements were lies. Litvinoff is himself a member of the central committee of the Politburo which directs the actions of the International through its representative Pjatnitzki, and hilly aware of any action the Third International might con-

FIVE YEARS' HARD LABOUR! F
ATHER Anthony Cranssen, the victim, is a cultured young priest, t wenty-nine years old. He arrived in the Catholic Mission, Rabaul, New Guinea, shortly after his ordination tour years ago. After a short t ime at the mission headquarters at Alexishayen ,on the coast, he set out. with a few confreres, for the Bismarck mountains. No European had ever been there, and no other missianary body had contemplated opening in that part of New Guinea. The work accomplished by Father Cranssen in tarn. mg and controlling the people is reEven from a colmarkable indeed. onising aspect alone, to attract singlehanded about 4,000 wild natives and s stablish among them fifteen small hools in charge of natis-e teachers, hrought in with him from the. coast, astonished even the veteran missionaries But --and this is the crux of t he unfortunate situation -;a the proof civilising, it is often necessary I threaten force to quell a risiog; and, unfortunately, this, when reported on t he coast in an "Uncontrolled Area," can be magnified to alarming proportions, and one can easily interpret a prompt order as harshness .ar cruelty.

"An Uncontrolled Area" is a tract of country often very remote from the t oast, and inhabited by natives, with w hom Europeans have no contact. No Cs.vernment station is established there, although, in some cases, a patrol c fficer, accompanied by a number of as-med police boys, penetrate or pass through a portion of such country. On acount of troubles, usually due to the native police boys, Europeans are now f orbidden to enter an 'Uncontrolled A rea" without a special permit from t he administration.

0-ratified that need. If the religious appetite, the craving for worship, Which is one of the most ancient and universal of human instincts. does not correspond to sonic objective reality, it is the only human appetite which f eeds on complete illusion. It is. indeed. characteristic of this mliddle-headed age that the consolation which religion afford should be used as an argument against the objective reality of religion. This is much as if one were to argue that cows do not exist because beef is so consoling to a hungry man. Nor is the religious appeal to the consensus of all mankind refuted by the fact that various false beliefs have been universally held at different periods of human history. It is invalid to argue that, because all men are mistaken in believing the earth to be flat, all saints may he mistaken in believing that God exists, for there is a vital distinction between theories about the physical universe and_ facts of spirithal experience. The belief in the existence of God. which, if strongly held, has • the inos-t profound effect upon life, and which has some t ffect even if lightly held, has stood the test of experience in every age and in every race. We may Nvell despair of the possibility of arriving at truth by human testimony, if xv e sweep aside as a collective hallucination the common
experience of the mystics of every religion, of every race, and of every century. It is illegitimate for the individual to appeal to his own individual religious experience when arguing with a man who has enjoyed no religious experience whatever. But just as blind men might deduce the reality of art from the eonsensus of art lovers, so those who are religiously blind may deduce from the consensits of the mystics the reality the supernatural world. ,It is, indeed, impossible to remain unimpressed by the verdict of the mystics on the points on which they all agree. Now, the mystics are at one in their assertion that no happiness compares with the happiness of those who have established communion with God. Sensuality and self-indulgence may be compared with the dirt darkening a window, for the divine rays, so the mystics assert, cannot reach the soul unless the w indow has been cleansed by as— ceticism. The saint is a living reminder o f a truth which the modern world has forgotten. His life is an argument for the importance of being holy. The world of today is in desperate need of saints to counteract that reversal of values which began with the Renaissance. The mediaeval ‘vorl I believed that learning was important, but that piety was still nu,re important.

I should be inclined to predict that fifty years hence the police novel will have become a new kind of problem novel, which will justify a wife destroying her husband, exactly as the present problem novel's justify her divorcing her husband. The New Morality. I have read recently about six detective stories, and these among the most intelligent and the best written, which really justify the murder, or the private killing of a man. on the ground that a man can be such a nuisance that there is nothing to be done but to kill him. All the excellent arguments for divorce are also excellent arguments for d eath. It constantly. happens t hat divorce would not he so effective as death : that the obnoxious person has for other reasons some power of revenge, financial or psychological, which makes him troublesome as long as he is alive.

R DAY. JULY 11, 1936.
The Polish Corridor One ol the most rchlhrkallle traits in the writing s of the late G. K. Chesterton and of his friend and collabo rator, Mr. Hilaire was their dread of Prussianism. No one who really unlerstood the vast charity of Chesterton could constru e his attitude Gertnanophobia. He did not hate the German people, but that spirit with which Bismarck indoctrinated Prussia —the kulturkampf—a theory of racial superiority and of nationa l pride which t empted Germany to fly in the face of the world. Even the huyi:itiation and subsequent hardships of the Nvar did not crush that spirit. Under the Nazis it has become revitalised and even more rampant than in pre-war Prussia. Under Rosenb erg it has been organised into a religion. Its god is Caesar and his worship is compulsory. This spirit will foment war again as it did twentytwo years ago. Not that irrational nationalism is peculiar to Germany. Italy, Japan, Russia and Turkey are also in the throes of self-r ealisation whkh will ultimately fructify into self-assertion. Nor is the modern arrogance of Germany of purely internal origin and development. Two external factors have contributed very largely to its resurrection and persistence. Firstly the statesmen who framed the Treaty of Versailles made the colossal blunder of splittin g and regrouping artificially peoples who were one in Hood, language, and national aspirations. while laying on what remain ed of Germany an inhuman load of indemnities. This served to fan the flames of national pride, which crushed to the dust, saw in Nazism an awakening and a reflowering- of national greatness. The other contributory factor was the ineptitude of the league of Nations. Germany rearmed. and occupied the Rhineland, yet the League t ook no action. This has emboldened Germany to retrieve all that the War took from her. Three main objectives lie before her: The recovery of her African colonies, the anschluss with Austria, and the ideal of the "patria irredentia." For the moment Vienna is secured by the cessation of the Abyssinian conflict, for Italy will fight. for the the status quo in Austria. Hitler, it appears, has turned his eyes from the south-west to the north-east. Danzig was constit uted a Free City, to give Poland an outlet to the sea and thus help revive her economic debility. But Danzig is essentially German as regards nationality, and has been thoroughly infiltrated with Nazi ideals. It has its own Parliament and is under the protection of the League. Yet, on the other hand, it was once a Polish possession, depends on Polish trade, is controLled economically and in its foreign relations by Poland, and has a third of its population This arrangement was not temporary, like the Saar, Catholic. but.of its nature was hound, sooner or later, to become a fester in the bosom of Europe. 110
There is definite apprehension in Europe lest Germany may attempt on the Free City the same kind of coup which she endeavoured unsuccessfully to 'spring on Austria and more recently. and successfully, on the Rhineland. The behaviour of Danzig's Nazi President of the Senate before the League Council can only he described as insolent and arrogant. And the League's High Commissioner has practically been outlawed by an outbreak of terrorism, organised by Nazis. The present phase of the trouble Is in the hands of Poland, as bebig responsible for Danzig's foreign relations.

ENGLISH IN THE LEAVING CERTIFICATE. Macbeth. i.. )uthursts of violence. accompaied by great crimes, do not of A t hemselVeS make a tragedy. tragedy involves a xveakness or a I;itilt in the tragic figures, and a w eakness or fault not necessarily had in itself. We see a great man full of promise brought to ruin through an inherent weakness that dogged 11)n through life. Macbeth is a great tragic figure, a great warrior, the peerless k insman of puncan the King. I!is fault. an excessive ambition, combined with extreme imaginativeness, a weakness in his will, - uperstition. the influence of the v i tches, all these lead him t hrough great crimes and mental Aiffering to his death. Tragedy must arouse our symhathy and must therefore be the hrospect of a moderate man, such ourselves ruined by such error ir frailty, as we ourselves are -, uhject to. We see all this ex. utoolified in Macbeth. and we hne to the inevitable conclusion ' hat it has all the elements that ,h to make a real tragedy. Shakespeare never yrote a • lore effective play than Macbeth, and it is of the first importance to try. by readinh• the play -arefullv and from the rig-ht hi,int of view, to realise someill;ng of its unique power.

s wift—full of violence and passion, and swept along by the ine\ itable march that is the hall Mark of great tragedy. It is, in fact, the shortest of plays. but we are left with the impression of rapidity rather than brevity. Whether the play is being- read or acted, it is essential to emphasise the depth, the mystery, the immensity, and above all the eeriness of the whole thing. Otherwise the ghosts and the witches are absurd: WV do not believe in such things nowadays, or we like to think that we do not. The influence of the witches must be felt throughout—the "sightless substances" are for ever hovering in the murky air. Both the Macbeths are under the hvpotnic control of evil powers; it is only in the last act that Macbeth awakens to find that his dream has come true and faces t he stark reality of what he has done. So the whole of the first part of the play must lead up to the entry of Banquo's ghost. and from that point onward the supernatural is gradually stripped away until we are left with the cold reality as we too awake to the truth of the fearful dream t hat we have shared with Macbeth. If we do not share his dream and feel his horror as we read or watch the play, if we only read or Nvatch it, and do not feel it. the play fails: in fact it become, comic, even farcical, and all its magnificent poetry is a hot 'ow Irnckerv.

The Brother Superior of the Castle. dare Junior Orphanage, Queen's Park, wishes to express his sincere thanks to an anonymous benefactor from Aberdeen-street, West Perth, who sent a donation of £1 through Aunt Bessy. A little fellow was on a visit to his uncle and grandfather. "Uncle," he said, after his grand. father had left the room, "how old is grandpa?" "I couldn't tell you," answered his uncle, 'without looking it up in the family Bible." "My word!" gasped the child, "is he old enough to be mentioned in the Bible?"

There's certainly nothing succeeds like success, and hence the young ladies of Jennacubbine and district are organising a novelty dance to take place in the Mumberkine Hall on Saturday. July 25. Keep the date free, and Miss Barbara Lockyer and Mr. A. Brooks will set you dancing as you never did before.
Personal. Mr. Austin Urquhart arrived in Toodyay over the week-end to join the staff of the local State school. He is an ex-pupil of the Toodyay Convent School, and is charmed to revisit old scenes and to renew old acquaintances. 'He is very welcome to the district. Toodyay was recently honoured by the visit of a honeymoon couple, in the persons of Mr. and Mrs. A. Thompson. The bride was formerly Miss M Collier, of Mt. Lawley. Miss Mary Brimstone, of Maylands, is again sojourning in our midst, as the guest of Mrs. L. Thompson. Master Frank Clarke. of SIC., New Norcia ,is at present holidaying with his parents at Mumberkine.

Popular Lady Competition. 'It's an ill wind that blows no good." Sure enough the ill-wind of the nonarrival of pictures in Toodyay on Saturday, June 27, blew a tremendous amount of financial good to the Won. gamine dance of that date. The folk out that way are unanimous in declaring it the best dance held at that centre for some considerable time. Everything went with a swing, and the result brought smiles to the local candidate, Mrs. P. Bowen. Congratulations to Mr. F. Bowen and his assisting organisers.
A t Toodyay another successful euchre and dance, on July 4, went to the candidature tf Mrs. E. Chapman. Mrs. H. Ferguson and Mr. Dan Chapman divided the prizes, whilst the latter had the luck to win the 10s. note also. Miss Wood announces a euchre party for Wednesday, July 15.

BOULDER ALL HALLOWS' BALL, Adult Ball. One of the most successful social functions of the season was the annual All Hallows Ball, held in the Boulder Town Hall on Wednesday, July 1, when hundreds of happy dancers spent a delightful evening in a carnival setting of coloured streamers and lights, balloons and party caps. Although the All Hallows Ball has been held for years past, the success which attended this year's function overshadowed previous occasions. An important part in the happiness of the e vening was taken by Harry Fellows's popular Blue Buys Band, which supplied excellent music. Mr. Holmes carried out his duties as master of ceremonies in an efficient manner. A special feature of the ball, which was officially opened by the Mayor of Boulder, Mr. W. F. Coath, was the presentation of debutantes to the Acting Mayoress, Mrs. M. llill. The debutantes, Misses Margaret Ardagh, Dorothy White, Patricia Daley, Bernice Erbe, Sheila Clemow, Elia Darroch, Freda Wiley, Nellie Tracey, Patricia Larcumbe, and Molly 'Wholley, were presented . by Mrs. J. J. Ardagh, and were led by two pretty and charmingly dressed children, little Misses Pattie Orr and Tessie Fitzpatrick. The debutantes were partnered by Messrs, Jack Lovis, Jim Fitzgerald, Gordon Farrar, Jack Haynes, Fred Riebeling, Claude Kent, Chris. Maher, George t averidge, Jim Leslie and Gerald Duogue. Among those present were the Mayor of Boulder, Mr. W. F. Coath, the Rev. Drs. Goody and Kennedy, the Rev. Fathers Sexton and Grennan, and Messrs. White, E. Flanagan, P. luhnson, J. Fitzpatrick, M. J. Dillon, J. Ardagh, and J. Lowry, the Acting Mayoress, Mrs. M. Hill, and Mesdames P. Hogan, P, Johnson, J. Fitzpatrick, M. J. Dillon, J. Sheahan, Frazer, E. Flanagan, F. O'Dea, W. W. White and Clemow. Those responsible for the decorations, an energetic committee in charge of Mrs. M. Maher, assisted by Mesdames Troupe, Brown and Milner, are to be congratulated on the result of their work and an excellent supper was provided by a. capable committee in charge of Mesdames C. Morgan and J. P. Butler. The success of the lunetion was in no small measure due to the indefatigable efforts of the honorary secretary, Mrs. J. J. Ardagh. Credit is also due to the honorary trea. surer, Mrs, R. B. Wilson. For those who preferred bridge to dancing, there was a comfortable space set aside, tinder the supervision of Mr. A. Boylen. The highest score in the ladies' section was that of Mrs. Magor, and in the men's section that of Mr. Skepper. The hidden number prizes were won by Mrs. Harris and Mr. Skepper. JUVENILE BALL.

Bubbling over with youthful energy and merriment, hundreds of youngsters ;some of whom came from out. lying centres, had the time of their lives at the annual All Hallows juvenile ball, held at the Boulder Town Hall on Thursday evening July 2. which was officially opened by the Mayor of Boulder, Mr. W. F. Coath who afterwards handed out the many prizes. A spectacular grand march down the hall displayed many beautiful costumes, which had undoubtedly taken a good deal of thought, tune, and expense to make. Some of the tiny tots were very funny, several unconsciously so, and drew many a smile from the large crowd of spectators overhead. The judges, Mesdames L. Way, P. Hogan, and Beston, carried out a most difficult task very creditably. Excellent music was supplied by Mrs. Troupe (piano) and Mr. Cox ( drums). The floor staff, including Mesdames B. Hooks, J. Joyce, M. Maher and Green. and Messrs. Ellery and Craddocks, were invaluable in their efforts to maintain an orderly march before the judges. Carrying on their good work of the previous evening, a willing hand of helpers in charge of Mrs. M. Maher, assisted by Mesdames Troupe, Brown and Milner, and a capable supper committee ,under the supervision of Mesdames C. Morgan and J. P. Butler, and the honorary treasurer, Mrs. R. B. Wilson, were tireless in their endeavours to ensure the success of the children's function, The very satisfactory result of the evening must have been gratifying to the secretary, Mrs. J. J. Ardagh, whose organisation was all that could he desired. A satisfying supper in the nicely decorated basement was a fitting conclusion to a happy evening for the kiddies.

Dear Cecil,—Mary's Mount must be an excellent place for either school or play, as nobody ever wants to leave there, but picnics and paper chases can't last always, and if they did you would not enjoy them half as much as you have done lately. The Sec. ret Objective was £.808 16s 8d, not £1,000, so I'm sorry you didn't win, as you were the only competitor who promised me half the prize. : AUNT BESSY. Wanneroo. Dear Aunt Bessy,—I am sending back my first green card and the 2/6. Tony has filled his card, too, and will soon write. My mother is sick in hospital and won't be coming home for a long time.

I am sure Father Woods will come straight back to W.P. if he reads your letter. AUNT BESSY. Mary's Mount. Dear Aunt Bessy,—It is a long time since my last letter, and I am taking a guess in your Competition. I say £900. They had a paper chase here about a fortnight ago, but I was not at it as my father and mother came to see me. NORMAN SAUNDERS Dear Norman,—Your guess was not correct this time, and anyway, the Competition has closed down, as I am going to try for the £1,000, s3 I will put your 3d towards it. Don't mind paper chases—the chases after my thousand will be much more e.ccicing. AUNT 9ESSY Kalgoorlie.

Mary's Mount, Dear Aunt Bessy,—It is a long time since I wrote to you last. I will take a guess in your Competition, and so will iny sister and her husband. My sister's guesses are 1.1,000, £900, and £850. Frank's are 1:500, 1;980, and £1,000, and I guess 1890. I was a hound a few weeks ago in a paper chase, and we had great fun. The visiting Sister got all the papers ready and gave us a' start. I was down in town for the week-end with my sister, who is just married, and I had a good time. BILL LAMI3E. Dear Bill,--As was stated in last week's "Record," we closed down the Competition, as I changed my mind about having a Secret Objective and decided on getting £1,000 instead of the Dios 16s 8d, which was the Secret amount, and the prize for that was won by Mr. Stephen McDhui, whoever that gentleman is, but I suppose I'll know soon enough when he reads that he has got the piece of solid gold- I have put the 1/9 you sent towards the £1,000, and say a prayer I'll get it.

The Question Box ( Correspondents are advised that name and address, apart from nom-de-plume, must accompa.ny queries to be answered in this column.) " Lnh1)h4er Perth) : What is the Catholic theory ot "a living wage?" Are not employers and workmen free to agree on whatever wages they like? Is not a free contract a just contract? Reply: Pope Leo XIII., in his Encyclical, "Refum Novarum" ( 1891). answered this question. He first points out the fallacious reasoning of those who maintain that injustice occurs only when an employer refuses to 'pay the whole of the wages promised, and the workman does not complete If labthe work agreed upon. our. he argues. were merely personal, a workman might accept any wages whatever, but it is also necessary, for without the results of labour a man cannot A free contract. therefore. live. if brought about by economic f orce, is utterly unfair, like a Inthl-up under threat of death, which deprives us of our money He says: by physical force. "While as a rule. employer and workman may agree freely as to wages: nevertheless, there underlies a dictate of natural justice more imperious and more ancient than any bargain between man and man, namely, that remuneration ought to be sufficient to support the wage earner in reasonable and frugal comfort. If. through necessity, or fear of a worse evil, the workman accepts harder conditions, because an employer or contractor will afford him no better, he is made the victim of force and injustice." A s the average worker is a married man. a living wage should be sufficient to enable him to provide for his wife and children, and lay aside some money for a rainy day. The Scriptures call the defrauding a man of his wages "a sin that cries to heaven for vengeance" (James. v.. 4). The evil social results of inadequate wages are apparent amongst us. accuses Yalgool "Rea(ler" "The Record" of pro-Italian propaganda on the Abyssinian question; he hopes to hear both sides o f a dispute in future. Reply : Your thirst for justice is perfectly praiseworthy. It was. f rom a similar motive that the at' ticle referred to was published, at a time when the secular press featured cables too obviously Apparently you had no loaded. difficulty in learning one side of the case; the other side seems to have come as an affront. It is not a question of justifying murder or robbery. but of giving the accused a fair trial. "Scotty" (Boulder City) wants to know the birthplace of St. Patrick. Reply: Actually this is uncertain, hut tradition seems to indicate the spot you mention, near the present Dumbarton on the river Clyde. Scotland.

TWENTY-TWO ST. MATTHEW. A Song of Autumn. Matthew the Publican sits at the gate of September, Counting the gold of the passing and vanishing year— The gold that the Summer must pay with her tears and sighings— The gold of the falling leaves. The Lord goes by and, turning, says unto Matthew: "Follow me—follow me down the long months into Winter, Follow me —follow me down through the fogs of November, When the coin of the year is spent and the trees are begarred, With never a golden leaf to drop at the gate—follow me." Matthew the Publican rises to :follow his Lord; But first he will make a feast at the gate of September— He will make a feast for the sinners and saints of the year, The way is long and the Autumn paths are dreary, So before he treads the dark road into the Winter He makes a great golden feast, the last feast of Summer, And he throws his golden treasury over the fields. The dying, fluttering, shimmering leaves of September, The last of the daisies and coltsfoot and dandelions, Are Matthew the Publican's treasure, his gold and silver, Which he throws at his Master's feet, the feet he must follow Down, down the Autumn, into the fogs--to the end of the year. --Sheila Kaye-Smith.

THE RECORD.
Reading for the The Appeal of IChrist From the Gospel Pages
He whom John announced under such animated imagery followed close upon the footsteps of His Herald. The Baptist had begun his ministry in the month of September, with the beginning of the Sabbath Year; three months after this Jesus appeared upon the banks of the Jordan.
Although united by ties of kinship, Jesus and His Forerunner do not seem to have had any intercourse until this time. One had grown up in Galilee, the other in the desert. "I did not know Him" is said twice, in fact, by John the Baptist. "but He Who hath sent me to baptise with water said to me: 'He upon 1Nhom you shall see the Holy Ghost coming down and abiding, with Him. He it is Who baptiseth with the Holy Ghost.'" Watching solely fOr the fulfilment of this promise. John awaited the covenanted signal from on high. But even before this marvel did actually jake place, the Prophet recognised Jesus. It may have been by some divine lineaments making the Master known to His messenger. The Lord had followed the throng of Galileans to the Jordan. He was therefore surrounded by the surging crowds when He was seen by the Precursor. John had thought to finish his ministry when the Christ should appear; so what must have been his awe and wonder when He saw Him descending into the waters of the stream with the penitents, and heard Him ask for baptism at his hands!

The energy of the St. Mark. terms chosen by the, Evangelists plainly indicates that, though the Spirit of God never failed to guide the steps of the Saviour, yet there was, here and now, a more sensible and lively motion than was customary upon the Part of the Holy Ghost. Entrusting- Himself to this Divine Compulsion, the Lord went up into the desert. By this name all the traditions understand a certain hill to the west of Jericho, its sides all honey(The accombed with caves. companying map should provide a setting for this scene, and may also help to co-ordinate the whole of the Gospel narrative.) It was in the midst of winter that He buried Himself in this retreat—at a time when the wilderness is more desolate than ever — the very skies are pitiless. and the trees are bare of fruit, and stripped of their leafy screens. Here He abode in an active solitude. "alone with the wild beasts," surrounded by lions and leopards, which lurk in the thickets of the Jordan. amid the jackals whose mournful howling is still heard along the mountains. And they harmed Him not; for the creatures are hut armed against a sinful race, and the Holiness of Jesus held absolute sway over their savage natures. But it was to attain for other triumphs than these that the Saviour had gone up into the desert. He had come hither that He might be tempted. The New Adam, He was come to take up the combat at the point where the first had failed and fled. and to turn defeat into victory. (To be Continued.)
The Master of Men. "I ought to be baptised by Thee," he exclaimed, "and dost Thou come to me!" and he withstood Him. "Suffer Me to do this now," said Jesus; "thus it behoveth us cured every month to fulfil all justice."
