THE HEART OF INDIA GANDHI'S ATTITUDE TO CHRISTIANITY Hindustan, to call India by its domestic name, is a country of long distances and vast differences. If the heights of the L ower Himalayas remind one of S witzerland, the wilds of Sindhand and the desert of Thar are highly reminiscent of the Sahara. The ditTerences between the K onkhan and Gujerat, between Bengal and Malabar, are very Not only the physical, many. geographical, and racial characteristics are affected. The whole range of human culture, including religion, customs and manners. is as deeply involved. Thus in temperament and character there are only a few things common to the tall Uriya and the short Gurka, to the industrious Baniya, and the heroic Maharatta, to the intelligent Bengalee and the shrewd Malayali: yet many a foreigner is led to believe that there is agreement in the thoughts and sentiments of all these groups as the result of a common Indian nationality which each is supposed to possess. Such an impression is utterly groundless. as India is nothing but a country of widely differing nations and races. Still, the heart of Hindustan is being very easily interpreted to the outside world by partisan propagandists. politicians and W e are familiar with the spasmodic pronouncements of Mr. Gandhi about the political and spiritual aspirations of India. In these he generally decries Christianity and tries to establish that the Christian religion is not consistent with the national sentiments of the country. A s everybody knows, Gandhi is first and foremost a Hindu, prepared to make any sacrifice to secure the future of Hinduism. Communal awaid, civil disobedience, Satya Graha, and Harijan movement; these are accepted or discouraged by the Mahatma as retard the they advance or growth of Hinduism in the land. The mantle of the politician falls thinly on him, scarcely concealthe cloak of the Hindu propagandist. He is a great friend of the depressed classes in India, who are to him the Harijans or Lord's people, yet he does not like Christian missionaries working for their uplift or running among charitable institutions them. He fears Christian charity and Christian philanthropy would attract Harijans to Christianity in ever-increasing num• bers. Gandhi's admiration for Christ and his acquaintance with the Sermon on the Mount do not encourage him to face with equanimity the great influence which Christianity wields both among the classes and the masses in India. Removal of Untouchability has been all along an item ill the Mahatma's social programme. Christian missionaries were in the field striving to reach the same goal long before he saw the light of the day. Their work has been unanimously appreciated by the depressed classes, vet the Mahatma. the great friend of the Untouchables. is decidedly against Christian missionaries running schools and charitable in!htitutions to serve the depressed classes. -in the self-governing India of the future.
Movements Towards Mass Conversions
MAHATMA GANDHI.
Professor kadakrishnan has attempted to reveal the attitude of i ntim toward Christ and Christianity in a book entitled -The Heart of Hindustan." In the course of the work he gives vent to his anti-Christian feelings, parading inferences and conclusions of his own calculated to have Christianity discredited by his countrymen. According to him. Christianity is a motley made up of odds and ends taken from _Hinduism and other Oriental religions. The Professor thinks that Christ's followers made him a God, attributing to Him wisdom. power, and love. the three aspects of the Hain(lava trinity, Brahma. Vishnu, and Siva. Christ's Divinity and the Mystery of Redemption are mere myths to be learned Professor, who is only- one out of the many prominent Hindus who are out against Christianity. dubbing it as anti-national and anti-Oriental.
healthy development of Christ's teaching. Passing from these leaders and their activities, we must turn to MC millions of village folk in th; country, scattered over more than 5,000 gramams, living half-naked and half-starved 4 mud huts and leaf-thatched hovels, to form a ck:rreci estimate of the i.ttitude of t he peoples of India towards Christ and His revealed religion. They form a society apart from the high-caste Hindus, who lord it over millions of their innocent countrymen, denying to them the most elementary human rights in the name of an obsolete civilisation which accords them places and positions of pre-eminence. The victims of this civilisation are found all over India, from Baluchistan to Burma. from Cashmere to Ceylon. In spite of differences in race, language, and culture. they have the general name of the Harijans or depressed classes. though they own distinctive racial or tribal names in particular provincial areas.
„. • large group or an entire village dt depressed-class people of Untouchaiiles will find it more convenient to ‘ssiitli. stand the opposition from the. liighcaste people than a few individuals or isolated families. Individual converts, heted and educated by the Christian missionaries, rising in the social scale and advancing in the favour of the Government, have also contributed to the growth of the tendency. Then there is the general desire to take advantage of the Christian Faith inspiring the wave of mass conversion throughout India. Speaking of the mass-conversion movement, we cannot forget the wonderful spread of the Gospel in Chota Nagpur, assigned to the Belgian Jesuits. A few months ago the Apostolic 'Delegate in India presided over the elehratiuns in connection with the Golden jubilee of the mission. The work begun by a handful of missionaries in 1885 has borne fruit in such a w ondelful manner that a region where C hristianity had been unknown fifty years ago is now almost Catholic, with a network of associations, guilds, sodalities, banks, and co-operative societies, all manifesting a vigorous, civilised, Catholic life. The increase in the number of the Faithful has been phenomenal, 4,000 in 1885 growing into 300,000 in 1933. In Mysore, the Adi Drayidas and the Adi-Kar-Nadakas have given thousands of converts to t he Church. Those of them who remain behind recently submitted a petition to the Chief Minister praying fur facilities to become Christians, in order to secure emancipation from the tyranny of the caste system. Nellore in 'South India is another field where the conversion movement is spreading. rapidly. Whole villages of depressed-class people are instructed and received into the Church, the gain for the diocese durimig the tirst ti years of its existence being inure than 5,000 Catechumens and 10,000 Catholic, V izagapatam on the Coromandel. Coast is another promising field for mass conversions. The whole area, inhabited by 7,000,000 people, is ready to be brought to Christ, and villages are pressing the Bishop to send catechists over to them. Included in the area are British districts .and two .native States of Bastur and JeYpOre, and e verywhere the same thirst for truth imanifested. . The Franciscan Fathers in Agra. the Capuchin Friars in the Punjab, and the Salesian Missionaries in Assam are :all Usually fortunate is their labolirs, and everywhere the need for more workers is .felt. Thus, the depressed classes all over India reveal India's .real attiture towards Christ, coming to the shadow of the Cross in hundreds and thousands to seek social emancipation and spiritual salvation, heedless of politicians and propagandists who wish to drive Christ a way from the shores of India as ays undesirable alien.

Prime Minister of Czechoslovakia, who hoped thereby to solve An ex• the Danube problem. amination of the plan revealed only arrangements of an economic order. But, in spite of the distress and the psychological and moral misery of the Austrian people, it is no paradox to say that it is not bread that it needs to regain courage and strength. What it above all lacks is a tradition incarnated by the Habsburgs and which can be incarnated by Some weeks ago. no one else. Prince Starhemberg said that "Austria and the Habsburgs are t wo inseparable ideas." Whether one likes it or not, that is the truth, the whole truth.

Neither the counsels of London, Paris or Prague, nor the theatricalities of M. Tittiescu, who threatened Nvar to prevent the return of the Habsburgs, can change the. profound conviction of Austria's rulers. No doubt, one can compel them to admit that the Habsburg question is not a question of the immediate future. But events will prove the unreality of these forced pronouncements. In reality, the policy of submission to the Soviets pursued by Prague and Paris disconcerts Austrian opinion. Austria has seen the Marxists at work and knows who has to foot the bill. She has to defend herself against the Austrian Marxists who find in neighbouring Czechoslovakia such ample facilities for their propaganda, the more so since they find such rich and powerful allies in the numerous Jewish elements in Vienna. Having supported the Austrian Government through hate of Hitler, these Jew's have proved to be such corn promising and greedy allies that they have had to be taught that Austrians have also a word to say in the management of their own affairs. The only hope in such a dangerous situation still lies in Rome. Italy took the initiative in bringing the heads ot the Austrian and Hungarian Governments together. Mussolini, in r esponse to the vain attempts ot past weeks, has declared that the Danubian question cannot be solved without Italy, that is. against Italy.

ATE in the evening of the 15th. May last, the M.V. JE Koolinda laid anchor within sight of the Drysdale River Al ission. To the lonely missionaries a visit from a white man is always welcome, because it breaks the dull monotony of their life in that isolated corner o f the Nor'-West. But the half-yearly visits of the K oolinda are twice welcome, for she brings to the Mission not only a number of visitors, but also what means much more .to both missionaries and natives. of consignment viz., a large goods of every description, on which depends, to a very great extent, the existence of the Mission. These goods are provided with t.ti failing regularity lw New Norcia, whose offshoot the Drysdale Mission is. On this particular occasion the sight of the Koolinda at "Mission CI)ve" was hailed with even greater enthusiasm than usually. because she was bringing on hoard the Right Rev. A. Catalan. Abbot of New Norcia and Administrator Apostolic of the Drysdale Mission. His Lordship had last visited the Mission in August. 1931, when he introduced the Benedictine Oblate Sisters into the field of apostolic labours. much to the relief of the Fathers, whose hands had always been too full. A fter five years. which to isolated missionaries, like to young children, seems a very long time, the visit of the Lord Abbot was eagerly awaited, and this for more reasons than one.

Great as was the delight of the Missionaries I Fathers .and Sistheir midst once again, it was not as great as that which the Lord Abbot felt to see them all in the best of health and spirits. despite the trials of their hard life. That the Sisters had been able to stand so well the trying climate of the Nor'-West was to His Lordship a great source of consolation, for the Sisters' share in the good work of the M;ssion is invaluable. He was not less gratified to witness the remarkable progress of the Mission, both temporally and spiritually. Great improvements had been effected since 1931. and the nati7-es were much the better for them. Naturally, the Lord Abbot's visits always attract large numbers of natives to the Mission. They know from experience that these rare occasions are invariably marked with the distribution of more numerous rations, with picnics, and with more liberal donations of sweets, tobacco, etc., Still, the number of naetc. tives who gathered to greet the Lord Abbot on the morning after his arrival was not extraordinarily large.

A difference of tribes made the natives inhabiting those parts strangers to those found around the Drysdale Mission—a circumstance which did not impede but certainly handicapped the Christianisation of the former, whose numbers were such as to deserve special attention. On the other hand, there was there close to the pool a fine stretch of land suitable for cultivation. The main conditions for a Mission being present, two of the Fathers went and pitched their tents in the new field of action in 1932. and with the help of the natives soon had a few acres of laud cleared and ready for cultivation.

Correspondence showing very satisfactory progress was received from branches at Albany, Bunbury, Narrogin, Boulder. The latter cieraldton. and Wiluna. branch, which was established about the middlle of June, is doing wonderfully well and the officers and members are to be commended on their splendid work on behalf of the society. At the Mass offered at 11 o'clock at the Cathedral on Sunday last, the 12th. inst., upwards of 400 This members attended in regalia. constituted a fitting tribute to the memory of the late National President, Bro. O'Mahony. It is very satisfactory to note that every branch throughout the District has had Holy Mass offered for the repose of his soul. The District Board visited St. Malachi's Branch. Highgate, on the 8th. inst There was a very good attendance of members, including the chaplain„ Rev. Father Kennedy. Grand Officers were well satisfied with the evidence of enthusiasm prevailing, and they confi. dently expect that St. Malachi's will make wonderful progress this year The District Board will make its offi. cial visit to St. Lawrence O'Toole's Branch, Maylands, on the 29th. inst: to St. Patrick's Branch, Perth, on the 5th.

A hearty vote of thanks to the visitors, moved by Bro. W. Lyons and seconded by Pro. G. McMullin. was carried by acclamation. An important phase of the meeting was the allocation amongst the members present of the names of parishioners provided by the chaplain. and these members undertook to visit the 7.ft2ople concerned in their borne" -endeavour to get them to join the society. The result of this work will certainly be a big increase in the numerical strength of the branch.

Victoria Park and Maylands teams. in the "A" and "B" Grades, are holding equal positions in the competi. tions. These teams have won full Points for matches played, so a close finish is expected.

The Aboriginal Problem. II. Early Australian History and the strong Caucasian has trodden the nomad like mire intc his own soil."
"Murder, Disease and Starvation" ( By V H. W.)
HEN the first British settlers came to Australia the aboriginal population ntunbered at least a million. Most people are well are that our treatment of this race since the early years of settlement makes a very sorry story. The average Australian, however, is loathe to face the fact that it is in truth one of the blackest episodes in the whole of I propose in recorded history. this and the next article of this series to give some indication of the truth behind this statement. 1 do this. not because I find any pleasure in reiterating the heartrending facts of early Australian history, but because I believe it ta•be truly necessary to emphasi.;e that we. as Australians and Christians. are obliged to think of this race of people in a very As I pointed out s pecial way. last week. we are bound in justice, and obliged by the word of Christ Himself, to bring the light of the Faith' to them: but *----we are also bound to make whatever restitution and reparation are able for the terrible inflicted upon them durvongs r hie: a previous generation.
A.
For this purpose I will confine self to quoting from Ernest Scott's 'Short History of AustraI select this work. not because it contains the most lurid passages. hut because it is a stane!ard and non-partisan history. Scott is not in any way identified w ith the cause of Aborignal W elfare: he is Professor of His' • .7N- in the University of Mel1 ltrne. and is widely recognised a conservative and reliable In rit v on Australian history. H his book of some four hundred pages he devotes less than six to the aborigines, but here are some the things he says: "The decay of the aboriginals in the settled districts proceeded very rapidly, from three main causes: from actual destruction by killing, from disease and drink introduced among them by the whites, and from the perishing due to the change of life necessitated by the limitation of their This last rehunting grounds. sc.nant phrase simply means that they starved because their food In w as taken away. ther words the blacks were killed by murder, disease. and starvation, and this terrible triad is p,-ominent throughout the story. A s an illustration of "popular f eeling" at the time. Scott relates the following incident: \ French man of science who visited Sydney on the staff of the ship Tranie' in 1818. related in a L ook which he published about the voyage, that wealthy inhabitants of the city who entertained the officers, gathered together a c ompany of aboriginals armed w ith clubs, and set them fighting'. giving them liquor to incite Two of the 'savjleir ardour. ages' were killed, and. says the observer. 'their corpses were carted out. and tea was served amidst the laughter of the assemv
"The worst feature of the fading out of the native race," Scott goes on to say, "arose from sheer brutality and treacherous murder by white settlers and their convict servants. Governor Brisbane permitted the shooting of aboriginals in batches. It was said that they committed outrages; but barbarities perpetrated upon them provoked them to revenge. The lowest depth of mean homicide was reached by some settlers who systematically gave natives arsenic in wheaten cakes, porridge, and other food. They murdered under the guise of kindness. The Rev. Dr. Lang. writing in 1847, stated of his own knowledge and that of other independent witnesses, that this had been done, and G. A. Robinson. who became the chief protector of aboriginals in Port Philip after his Van Dieman's Land experience. alleged that poisoning was undoubtedly one cause of the decrease of the aboriginals." The aboriginal population of lasmania has been estimated at 100,000. This was a distinct and unique race of mankind— homo tasmanianus—and was completely exterminated within fifty years. "These natives," says Scott. "were disposed to be a harmless and peaceable people. Had they received decent treatment they would not have been But likely to cause trouble. neither the settlers nor their assigned servants would allow the natives to live in peace. The evidence is conclusive that the wrong-doing was on the side ot the whites. . . . No form of physical torture and moral wrong was spared to these hapless children of nature. . . . Blacks were shot in groups as they bathed or sat around their camp-fires at night. John West, the author of a History of Tasmania. who wrote near enough to those times to get the facts from living witnesses, tells the story in one vivid sentence: 'The wounded were brained; the infant cast into the flames: the bayonet was driven into the quivering flesh; the social fire around which the natives gathered to slumber became before morning their funeral pile." In 1835. thirty years after the first settlement of the island, all the surviving members of the Tasmanian race were segregated. They numbered at the time 203. The last Tasmanian native died in 1860. While there is hardly a paralel in history for the diabolic ferocity with which these unfortun ate -Tasmanians were treated, the same spirit of cruelty and hatred can be traced all over the Continent ,and persists in a somewhat diluted form even into our "It is impossible to own day. contemplate the condition and prospect of that unfortunate race without the deepest commiseration.' wrote Lord John Russell. in 1839, of the Australian aboriginal And later: "From first to last the line of contact of the two races has been a red one,
"These hapless children of nature!" says Scott. "A childlike people!" is the verdict of all who have known the aborigine. One feels compelled to conclude this article, which has consisted largely of quotation, with a 'quotation from a more venerable history, and a greater Authority. "He that receiyeth one such little child receiveth Me. But he that shall scandalise one of these little ones . . it were better for him
that he should be drowned in the depths of the sea." It is by no means too late even now to do a great deal for the There are between aborigines. sixty and eighty thousand still alive in Australia. In this State alone there are estimated to be 26,000 full-bloods. It is the aim of these articles to bring home to Catholics' the wretched state o f this remnant of "these hapless children of nature" at the present day. For "it is not the will of your Father. who is in heaven. that one of these little ones should perish.'

PERTH, SATURDAY, JULY 18, 1936.
The Badge of Discipleship UNDAY. the Feast of St. Vincent de Paul. marks an event of unusual interest in the story of the Church in Western A ustralia. For on that day the members of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul celebrate the completion of a quarter of a century's devotion to the poor and indigent of this State. Since the days when Christ fed the multitudes lest they should faint by the way, the Church has constantly maintained the tradition of corporal mercy and practical charity. Even through the centuries, when the business affairs of the world were modified and motivated by Christian ideals and moral principles, there were yet many who were destitute of this world's goods. But poverty in those days was not demoralising- in the way nor to the extent it has become under industrialism, nor was charity patronising nor publicised as is much modern philanthropy. The deficiences of that Christian economic order were astonishingly supplied by the alms of the monasteries. The Reformation, however, destroyed not only religious unity, but unleashed two wrong principles which are, historically, the spiritual roots of that social chaos which engulfs the world.
His Grace the Archbishop presided at the Solemn High Mass in the Carmelite Monastery, Nedlands, on Thursday morning, the Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. In the afternoon he gave Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. The occasional preacher was Rev. Father McEnroe, M.S.C. • • • S On Friday His Grace the Archbishop administered the Sacrament of Confirmation at the Home of the Little Sisters of the Poor, Glendalough.

Yet what apostolic work is achieved by its members in their ministrations! May God bless this work which so closely imitates the labours and the spirit of Christ, Who, May its members increase for us became poor in Bethlehem. And although the world may not and the scope of Its labours. acclaim it, its members have the incomparable distinction of engaging in that work which Christ set forth as the mark of discipleship—"By this shall all men know that you are My disciples; that you have love one for another."

Sacerdotal Jubilee of Bishop Raible
Firstly, it "destroyed the homes of the shaven men that were t he inns of the poor," and let loose upon England a vast army of beggars who greatly complicated economic issues in Elizabeth's reign. Secondly, it set up that system of private and personal morality which blossomed inevitably into the modern "business conscience," which in the realm of fact means greed. exploitation o f labour, and unscrupulous competition on the part of the employer, and destitution, economic slavery, poor workmanship, and dishonesty on the part of the employed. The condition of the poor grew steadily intolerable. The Enclosure Acts and the Factory Acts of the last century are sufficient witness against a monstrous and inhuman system. Yet in the third decade of that same century was established a work of Christian humanism in the very heart of a cruel, materialistic world. For Antoine Frederick Ozanam, a young French lawyer, scientist and apologist, established, at the age of twenty, the first conference of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul. This imperishable work was manifestly blessed by God, as its prodigious growth and solidity indicate. The Society of St. Vincent de Paul is utterly removed from mere philanthropy. It bears in its rules and constitutions and in its operations, the essential qualities by which the charity of Christ is distinguished from the merely natural virtues of kindness, benevolence or sympathy. Hence, above all, its works of mercy are It motivated by a supernatural intention—the love of Christ. aims, like Ozanam. to insure its faith by works of charity. Again, its charity is not straitened by natural repugnances or superficial considerations of cleanliness or gratitude in the object of its attenLike Christ it heals the lepers who will not return and tions. discharges the debtor though he sue in return.

The future of Danzig pales in comparison with this event, for to be acknowledged the best "notrumper" or "right bowerer" on this side of the Swan is a distinction anyone would envy. The bridge playrs will meet in the Swan Street Hall at 8 p.m., and the euchre players will fight to a finish in one of the school wings, made cosy with a roaring fire. For t welve weeks the fight has been on. and now draws near the finals.

.State Hard Court Championships.
A t the last meeting of council delegates a topic of keen discussion was the question and advisability of securing permission to hold a State hardcourt championship meeting. The strength and organisation of the association is quite capable of conducting such an undertaking, but the delegates in debate pointed out that it must be run on a sound financial basis. The expenditure incurred in such contests is of a heavy nature and perhaps grave risks would have to be faced. In order to thoroughly investigate the questi.m, the executive were requested to secure full details and submit a repost at the next council meeting. News Across the Border. Interesting news has filtered through from several of our neighbouring States in respect to their doings and activities in several avenues of association affairs. South Australia is in the throes of carnival functions, all being carried out with unprecedented The carnival has evidently success. given a decided flip to the members. who have "Hoy" Bill Scanlon as their beacon of outstanding enthusiasm.

He is the Harbour City's new association secretary Perth friends will agree that it is a wise choice. Queensland are already making preparations for the trek to Adelaide at Xmas.

From London, Miss Phil Hayes, who was in the party with the Olympic team, writes in -deep appreciation of her reception in the West. Her only complaint is that we do not boost the glories and beauty of the Swan. We thought Frank O'Dea did enough publicity in the Victorian Carnival to embed for ever on those assembled the wonders of the Swan. Frank's words are fully endorsed by Phil Haves. This Victorian member is having a great time in the land of fog and little sunshine. The Fancy Dress Carnival. The scene is all set for the night of mirth and melody of Wednesday, July 29. It is the annual fancy dress cat, nival. Memories of last year come floating back of an evening that was one continual peal of laughter, and of a hall full of the gayest and most unique characters. Already this year gives promise of a large throng of merry makers with costumes that will try the judging genius of Mesdames Bailey and Russell and Miss Trixie Fienberg. A large prize list has been formed. The dancing and marshalling will be under the capable supervision of Mr. Alf. Laurence. whilst the music will be supplied by D'Arcy's orchestra. What other incentive can he offeredP A Picnic to Lake Leschenaultia. One of the beauty spots of the State will be the venue for Sundas September 20. It is a trip to that spot of splendour up at Lake Leschenaultia. To those who have not been there, and to those who have, the trip should be one that must be undertakenUnder ideal conditions, in comfortable touring buses, and congenial company, with a minimum of cost, it is already assumed that a large rally of members will be out on this day. Families will be specially catered for. Booking may be made with each club secretary. Personal Chatter.

The Question Box
settled by election (Acts I.). Thus, too. was his own successor, as Bishop of Rome and Head of the Church, appointed by the neighbouring Bishops. The present method of election by the College of Cardinals is a natural development of the principle of specialisation arising from the growth of any organisation. Whilst the Church jealously gt.ards the traditions of Her history, She does not regard the Scriptures as Her sole guide. but by following the dictates of natural reason and commonsense is assured the guidance of the Holy Ghost. M. C. (Subiaco) : Are not the different faiths to-day accounted for by the fact that the Apostles went different ways and preached according to their different views? Reply: The Apostles held and St. taught the same doctrines. Paul denied the right of anyone to preach different faiths (Gal. I., 8-9). In any case the differing Protestant sects cannot go beyond the 16th. century. and certainly have derived - neither their being nor their specifically Protestant doctrines from any of the Apostles.
"Toleration". (Perth) : Does yohr Church approve of bringing people into her fold by force, as happened in the days of Charlemagne, of Louis XIV., and the Kings of Spain with regard to the Jews and Moors? Reply: No, the Church is in no way responsible for the actions Highgate. of Catholic sovereigns, who from Dear Aunt Bessy,—I am a little girl, of policy, avarice or mismotives but I think some may have thought taken zeal, used force in bringing I was a little boy, because I saw where you called me "Master Viottie Alcuin and about conversions.

j esus remained in the desert. During all that time He was tempted: "And now He can have compassion on our infirmities. for, without sinning, He bath been subject to all our temptations."' It was also a season of penance for the Saviour, through Nvhich He passed without eating or drinking. It would seem that during that long fast. wrapped in prayer and inward strife, He remained unconscious of the needs of the body ; "but when the forty days were spent. He was hungry," and the Demon profited by that hour of weakness to attack Him in person. Under what semblance did he present himself before Jesus? \Vas it as a Spirit of darkness, as an Angel of light, or with the features of a man? This the Lord did not disclose; and there is little to be gained for us by forming any conjectures.
Mary, for thy sinner, see, To her Sinless mourns with thee: Could that Son the son not heed For whom two such mothers plead? So thy child had baptism twice, And the whitest from thine eyes. The floods lift up, lift up their voice, With a many-watered noise! Down the centuries fall those sweet Sobbing waters to our feet, And our laden air still keeps Murmur of a Saint that weeps. Teach us but, to grace our prayers. Such divinity of tears— Earth should be lustrate again With contrition of that rain: Till celestial floods o'er-rise The high tops of Paradise. - -Francis Thompson.
T HOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK. Sunday: A disordered affection, a giving too much of oneself to any creature whatsoever, a caring too much for anyone or anything, is often a cause of failure in prayer which would other w ise be good. Monday: "Be ye perfect as your heavenly Father also is perf' eet." Tuesday: He is a great saint indeed who, on close acquaintance, does not give some matter for complaint. Wednesday: "God forbid that I should glory, save in the Cross of Our Lord Jesus Christ."—St. Paul. Thursday : The holier one may be in some respects, the more do we exact from him in others. Friday: "The kingdom of heaven is like to a merchant seeking good pearls: who, when he had found one pearl of great price, gave all that he had, and bought it." depressing The Saturday: c rooning. whining, and howling associated with jazz are symptomatic of the spirit of the age. They express the yearning of unsatisfied hearts, for they know not what. and the groping of empty minds for a message of hope and confidence—a message which the Catholic Church alone can deliver.

The Opening Assault. clouded in obscurit Is the character of the conflict in hich such mighty powers were brought to battle. \Vas there only that threefold attack of sensuality. vainglory. and ambition? Surely to concede only such feeble weapons to Satan, now in arms against his Lord, were to underrate the artifice and cunning. of the Field. Though the Saviour passed through all our common trials, yet all that was during the forty (lays which preceded the last combat; at this hour. wherein the Prince of Darkness entered the lists, it would be only natural to expect that the allurements would take on somewhat of nobility COMmensurate with Him towards Whom they were directed, and at the same time something supershbtile and strange worthy of the fallen Angel. N'hose wiles were all exerted then. The aim of the Tempter seems to be betrayed even in his questions. He w anted to know surely who Jesus was for that keen intellect w hich still remained in spite of his overthrow as „clear as ever. had seen in the Divine counsels that his ruin and the salvation of the world would be consummated on the day when the Son of God should become Incarnate. So then he approached the Saviour. "If you are the Son o f God. cotnmand these stones to become bread!" The snare was worthy of the hand that fashioned it. Satan did not offer to those eyes hollowed by long fasting, to the lips parched with thirst, to that famished body, the enticement of luscious fruits or savoury meats. Ile was content to remind Him Whom no lust could have mastered that He, the Son of God, held nature at His beck, and that one word from Him would st.flice to change the stones into bread. -Was it befitting that the Christ should perish of hunger in this wilderness, where Heaven seemed to have abandoned Him? \Vas it not high time to have recourse to His Almighty Attributes?

Praise for City and Hospital. Interviewed on Sunday evening, Father Rahm proved a delightful raconteur. This was the fifth Continent he had visited, he declared, and he had been astonished. He considered Perth a wonderful city, .the view of the Swan from King's Park being as tine as he had seen in any part of the world. Such an opinion from scenic Switzerland was praise indeed. Coining from tropical lands. Dr. Rahm said he had been struck by the cleanliness and organisation of the city-. Just then, as the church bells ‘vere pealing, he was reminded of some old English town. perhaps 'turk. Dr. Ralun paid high tribute to the Hospital of St. John of God, Subiaco, saving it was wonderful up-to-date, more so than any he had visited in India. Egypt or Palestine. Important Research In Biology. 1 4. 1611111.s main. research work in Australia was in connection with two animal - pa:-osites known as tardig- rades- and nematodes.

"fardigrades were microscopic animals which lived in mosses and lichens. He had. • studied them on the bark of bottle trees at Derby and Port Hedland, and had discovered a new type of tardigrade. These animals, said Dr. Rahn', were interesting from the standpoint of general biology b ecause they could live up to a period of 20 years without food, air or movement. It had been found they could survive in liquid helium at a temperature -4 272 degrees centigrade below /.ero, and also in a terrific temwrature in an electric stove. Dr. l ahni had sent 300 of these para:ites to Professor Piccard, who : mad taken them with him on his :light into the strathosphere. They did not die. This study -night have some bearing on the heory of Panspermy, propoundAO by Swante-Arrhenitis, which was endeavouring to prove that if life could exist in the stars, it may have descended like rain on the earth, filling the universe with sperms.

He was very puzzled and found it hard to believe that the Pope had to confess his sins to another. If he could be convinced of the truth of Christianity. Gandhi had said that nothing. not even the fear of death, would prevent his embracing it. His life is divided hrtween studv and fasting. As a doctor. Father Rabin said that Gandhi was very healthy and should live many years, contrary to accepted rutniairs. The Fribourg University.

They could only explain its manifestations. He was looking forward to his visit to New Zealand, as .he hoped to establish some ethnological connection between the Maoris and the natives of Eastern Island in the Mid-Pacific, where he had spent some time investigating the great monolith. Dr. Rahm said he had been received very kindly by His Grace the Archbishop. and had received the greatest hospitality on all sides. The "LUCAS" all English Bike; Perth's Best Value, E4 19s 6d.
