THE RELIGIOUS QUESTION DANGERS OF FASCIST POLICY As the Negus leaves London Mussolini's Council of Ministers is arranging detailed laws for the new Roman Empire. It has often been said that Italy imitates in Abyssinia the British organisation in India. The council states, however, that the organisation of Abyssinia is intended to be realised in a Fascist spirit and is thus thoroughly different from any other colonisation. That Fascist spirit means one man who commands and under him the hierarchy ot those who obey. An Element of Self-Government. It is interesting to glance at these laws in force in an Empire not recognised by the rest of the world. Self-government to 'a certain degree is granted as a reward to the Abyssinian chiefs who did not resist the Italian advance. A council composed of six Abyssinians and six Italian citizens living in Ethiopia represent the people at the Viceroy's government : whether that will be a purely formal self-government difficult to say. Backing Islam. Another point is the astonishingly large share of independence given to the Mahometan minoriThe Fascist government's ties. intentions to be friendly with Mahometans in all the world is In certain diplomatic obvious. circles here one sees a connection between this fact and the unconfirmed rumours about Fascism supporting Arabs in Palestine. About the Italian relations with Palestine. it should he noted that the Arab students at the University of Rome have published in the newspapers that the Arab movements in Palestine are strictly national and have nothing to do with f oreign powers.
andria, and so the Italian government intends it to be in the future. Already Musso'•"'s attitude towards Egypt in the Lake Tsana question, treating _Egypt as an independent and sovereign nation and neglecting Great Britain, has alarmed British public ()pinion. For British imperial interests a too close religious collaboraton between the Italian, Abyssinian, and Egyptian can be full of dangers. THE CORONATION. London, Wednesday, May 12, N.,: From all over the world, for weeks before the great day, thousands upon thousands of people will have been cunverging on London. All the world will be there, and the demand tor hotel accommodation will greatly exceed the supply. Give a thought also, to the question of where the members of this vast throng are to stand (let alone obtain seats), in order to view the Coronation procession. Not only will there be the overseas visitors- and the citizens of London; the inhabitants of all the neighbouring cities and towns will pour into London for the day, and it is extremely doubtful whether there will be even standing room along the route capable of accommodating the vast number of sightseers, and certainly many thousands will stand for hours to see little beyond the heads of passing mounted police or cavalry, What of the thousands of Australians are going "Home" for the Coronation What hope have they of obtainning accommodation in London or of seeine the procession? Some, of course, av,. thinking that they can pull strings at Australia House, or through the State representatives, and be favoured Feats.. Even such a solution cloc ii dispose of the difficulty of obtaining hotel accommodation. What then ran Australians do to ensure accommodation in London and seats from w hich to view the actual procession? The answer is simple, provided the e dviet is acted upon immediately. On behalf of their clients in Australia Cook's Travel Service, through their chief office in London, • have secured an allotment of accommodation in hotels, and are erecting their own stands and also taking the entire seating capacity in other stands along the route of the procession. A given number of Australians Nvill thus be assured of bot ! comfortable accommodation and also seats to view the prore'ssion. but there is a limit to the amount (Nf accommodation which ran be set aside for Australia, and only by booking at once. can 'Western Australians make , ief• of accommodation.

Rosicrucianism, unlike many of the strange modern cults, is not o f modern origin. Indeed, in t he order of historical precedence, it is well ahead of any of the Protestant sects. It has, to some extent. a yvell authenticated claim t o be the first of the Protestant r eligions, and the precursor of m odern secret societies. It was founded over .(X) years ago—in 1408—by a German nobleman called Christian Rosenkreutz.

Rosenkreutz had been a monk, but the Church. more fortunate in his case than in Luther's later. was forced to release him from his services to religion.

HE Church and the World in the United States" was the title of an address delivered at the meeting of the Maynooth Union by the Rt. Rev. Mgr. Fulton Sheen, a member Of the faculty of the Catholic University of America, Washington. Mgr. Fulton Sheen said it was true of the United States and true of most of the world that, In on the apologetics point of v iew the Catholic Church was not meeting any strong intellectual opposition. Never before had the Church been so impoverished for want of a strong intellectual opposition. The great mass of men in America were staying away from the Church. not because they could not accept the doctrine of Three ersons in One. but because they

They were stopping out, not because of creed, but because of the Commandments, not on account of the way they thought, but on account of the way they lived. The old apologetics were concerned with the conflict of sect and sect within the great body of Christianity. They had to argue that the Church was one—wholly and indivisable, but heresy had Protestantism. acliquidated. cording to the late G. K. Chesterton, was now only a sort of funnel into which could be poured everything that was anti-Catholic. Heresy was dying in the United States and Protestantism was practically dead. The Catholic Church to-day was suffering from an invasion, a power and force from outside— a totally alien power. not a heresy. not a party, not a political system. but a complete philosophy of life. This new philosphy of life was Communism. He was not speaking of the Political or economic system in R ussia. but of the mobilisation of souls for material or economic ends. It. prides itself on being something new, but it was new only in the sense that a corpse. was new in relationship to the s tate of life which it once possessed. Their old apologetics was dead. In the States, and it was going to happen throughout Europe— the apologetics problem of the future would not be the problem of history. It would be the problem of what was the nature of man. It was easy for any of them to he critical and to spend their time condemning the Red peril. They knew deep in their hearts that they were sent out into the world not to prove the world was wrong. but to make the wrongs right. They had to find a common denominator in the world to-day. He was convinced of the necessity for a new kind of apologetics —the apologetics of charity and kindness and of seeking a common denominator and of avoiding those things that might possibly wound. The Church to-day seemed to be suffering from some kind of pnrgation.

They seemed to be getting back these days to the very charges urged against Our Lord in the Courts of Pilate—"We found this Man guilty of perverting the nation and of refusing to give tribute to Caesar." "The influences which are moulding civilisation to-day.- he said, "are not coming from above; they are coming from below, from the masses, from the socially dispossessed, the economicall:f disinherited, from those whose w ants are many and whose poswss.ions are few. They are corning from the great broken earthenware of humanity. "They are moulding civilisation in the U.S.A., they are moulding France, they are moulding Germany. they have moulded Russia: and they are moulding the entire world. "It is our apologetic business to take account of those forces. We must get down to the workers and train the masses, get down to the proletariat and build a strong active Christian body. "The world of the future will have only two capitals. Moscow and Route: only two temples. the Kremlin and St. Peter's: two t abernacles. the Eucharist and the rotted body of Lenin: two sanctuary lamps. the Red Flag and the Eucharistic: two hymns, the Panis Angelicus and the 7. • t ernationale."

The Red Rag and the Bulls
There was occasion, last week, to call the bluff of our evening contemporary over recent happenings in Spain and the historical t actors that contributed to that outbrea k. Much of the alarmist propaganda at present being dessimated, the the fabulous wealth of Bishops, is extremely "atrocity" tales, and hurtful to Catholic s usceptibilities. But that is the least aspect of the matter. These nauseous tactics are downrightly insulting to the intelligence of the Catholic community, as if we could not see ladder of cable propaganda or construe the babblinthe holes in the g and frequently contradictory reports as a careless but obvious tissue of lies. Our evening contemporary made a partial retracti on in its issue of Saturday last, on the plea that "it is not easy to ascertain the news behind the news" and that "known facts" are "open to misinterpre-. tation and modification, but they are the only standar ds we have.' Well and good. But let the public be clear when the news is a matter of "interpretation" and when of "known facts." * The "Daily News" has seen fit to attempt to substan tiate certain of its assertions, which call, on our part, for a further examination. The first fact about Spain that impress them is that the present Government was returned at the elections in February with t he biggest majority in the young Republic's history. "It may," suggests our contemporary blandly, "have been a gullible electorate, but democracy as we know it takes the chance of that." The assumption that democracy reigns in Spain is not only arbitra ry—it is funny. But apart from that, every schoolboy knows that February elections were as clumsy a piece of fraud and jugglin the g as was ever perpetrated in modern times. Irregularities of all kinds were tolerated and the inviolability of the ballot box disgrac efully disregarded. The Madrid correspondent of "The Times" Wr ot e : " A rascal snatched the glass urn that serves as the ballot box in Spain, and rushed away with it under his arm." So many similar instances were testified to by reliable witnesses that careful ob'servers declare that the Right was cheated of at least 30 seats. If the elections were not "framed," how comes. it that at the second count, on March 1st., the Right Centre had dryer 5,000,000 votes for 210 seats and the Left Popular about only 4.000.000 for 263 seats? .4` To return briefly to that matter of democracy. Although Spain was declared, in the first article of the 1931 Constitution, to be a democratic Republic. nobody has ever taken it seriously Nyith the possible exception of the journalists who write about foreign affairs. No party feared the last elections more than the Left. Their election speeches reek with hysteria. They attempted tetrorisation by declaring openly at election meetings that, in the event of defeat. another October insurrection would be staged. The issue of the February elections was: "Continuance of the Revolution or a counter -Revolution," which boiled down to a choice betwee n a dictatorship of the proletariat or a decent constitutional and democratic Government. There is no reasonable doubt that the intimidation practiced by the Left Popular Front caused a good percentage of the country considerable trepidation over the use of its voting power. quite apart from the fact that many of those registered were burned. No sane • observer of modern Spain could claim that the Spaniards of their own volition would have given themselves into the hands of that Muscovite gang. So much for the paper cant about the Right conspiring to overthrow "a popularly elected Government." Then there is the charge that they have used Moorish troops and Italian vlanes against their fellow countrymen. The second of these charges is purely speculative. and not one whit more probab le than that France is assisting the Government. To restrict ourselves, however. to "known facts," which are as meat and drink to the journalists, let us ennumerafe the tactics of the Government as reported by the cables. It may, of course, be argued in their defence that "the end justifies the means," but we would remind them that that exclusively Jesuitical and the Jesuits were sacked from Spain by the modern heroes of liberty some Years ago. However, the c ables report that Madrid harbours Leo Trotsky and Bela Kum The former needs no introduction, except to say he arrived in an oil tanker alleged to be freighted. not with oil, but with Russian gold. Good Bela Kun did nothing more than reduce Hungary to a shambles in the Bolshevist Revolution of 1911 These menare present at the invitation of the Spanish Govern ment. Then there is t he alleged recruiting of women to fight in the Guadarrama front and the "atrocities" of what our evening contem porary so felicitously styled "the Red carmens." There are broadcasts nightly f rom Russia in Spanish and the Communist International has Promised funds to the Government. . Vet when thr "Daily News" came to consider the influence of Cosrmunism in Spain, after admitting that "if the Govern ment win t his war, the country will go Communistic.." recaptured its glad optimism by the retrospect that at the general elections the Communists secured only 14 seats out of the 256 seats gained by the Leit. Since when has Communism sought to achieve its ends by constitutianal methods or democratic devices ? Moreover, we challenge the figures quoted by our contemporary. We fancy the Communists captured 100 seats in the Government benches. Surely they do not pretend that "Coalition Socialists" are a body remote and apart. Communists, Socialists. Anarchists, t he Azana-Barrio coalition were all brothers under Svndicalists and the skin. It was
NINE
an unholy alliance. The Popular Front was heterogeneous, but never popular. Moreover, isn't it worth mentioning that since 1931 thousands of Communists have been given free entry from France , thousands of foreigners have been naturalised in the big centres , and most of all that the leader of the Federation of Labour ( 3,500,000 strong) is Largo Caballero, the Spanish Lenin and the really stiong man of the Government? Though it faces the fact that Spain will be sold to Moscow if the Government win this struggle, the "Daily News" attempts subtly to insinuate that its fate will not be worse than it was under Government by the Right. They accuse the Catholic C.E.D.A. of maladministration and draw an unfavourAble parallel with the record of the Left. It is a piece of blatant misrepresentation. They claim that the Right—whom they dub conservative—began a process of undoing the work of the Constituent Cortes. "The laws for agrarian reform were not enforced," they say. Why not mention that the land on which these reforms were to be tried had been stolen unconstitutionally from the Church without indemnity? "Steps were taken to rescind the laws in regard to the Church and the religious Orders." Is it of no moment that these laws were unjust and oppressive, the denial of all that religious tolerance for which Protestantism is supposed to stand? Why not say in passing that Zamora had resigned in an endeavour to have repealed Article 26 of the Constitution? In fact, why not be honest and say that the Constitution of 1931 was a Masonic and Communistic conspiracy against the Catholic Church and the effort of an unscrupulous minority to rob Spain of a heritage she has treasured from the dawn of Christianity? So much for a specific piece of unfair and unfounded misconstruction of current history. Something must now be said about the general tactics of the Press. The "atrocity" campaign did not pass off with its usual swing. For one thing most of the "atrocities" were of such a nature as one could only ascribe to a Communistic philosophy. For instance, attacks on the clergy and religious, the prodigious wealth of Bishops. and the murders of employers. For another. people are growing just a little weary of this wealth of horror. We are yet glowing from the fertile montrosities of the Italians in Abyssinia. A third consideration is that a number of these barbaric practices had been going on in Spain for the past five years under Government patronage and without interference from the police. Fourthly. what of these atrocities are genuine are obviously staged. Let us instance, for example, "the-poisoned-sweets-and-the-nuns" tale. Everybody knows now that these were imposters with a purpose. Or again, the story of priests heads being carried about on silver salvers—an obvious confusion with the evangelical narrative concerning John the Baptist. liy way of conclusion. we would note a change of propagandist tactics since 'Wednesday. The new line of misrepresentation has t wo developments. Firstly. the clergy, and especially the Bishops. are incredibly opulent. The Bishop of aerona's palace yielded £550,000. The Bishop of jaens is absconding with £30.000 and sister with £22,000. The Cathedral of Almeria had a hidden treasure trove of 18,300. The inference is that the public should ascribe the Revolution largely to a revolt of the oppressed poor against the wickedly prosperous clergy. That hoary old canard is worn thin. 'When the Jesuits were sacked in 1931 and their houses searched. the world was astounded to discover they had next to rothing-. But the paper didn't think it relevant to mention this. They just featured the search and left the inference to the public. The second development in the propaganda marks a new element in addition to the lies—confusion of the public mind. Thus, it is now being said that Moscow is really helping the rebels. But that move has come too late. The papers have already burned this slogan into the public brain: "The Government is Red." The length of this exposition can only be excused by the ferocity and m ultiplicity of the opposition's publicity campaign. What is written is written in hope that if the Press. will not give Catholics j ustice. it may at least give them plausible lies.

Roosevelt Launches Great Attack on Big Money and Big Business Declares War in Defence of the Family and Home ECHO OF PAPAL ENCYCLICALS OLLOWING the lines of the great social encyclicals of Leo XIII. and Pius XI., President Roosevelt launched a great attack on the economic despotism of big money and big business ,in his address at Philadelphia recently, accepting nomination for re-election to the Presidency of the U.S.A. "It has been brought home to us." declared Roosevelt, "that t he only effective guide for the safety of this most worldly of worlds is moral principle."
Roosevelt's fight is not merely a matter of the internal policy of the U.S.A. He is fighting for Christian civilisation, the family and the home., against those hidden powers which the Pope unmasked in Quadragesimo Anno.
waging a great war, not alone against want, destitution and economic demeiralisation, but for the survival of democracy. "We are fighting to save a great and previous form of Goveminent for ourselves and for the world. "I accept the commission you have tendered to me. I join with you. I am enlisted for the duration of the war."
The Catholic Ball
The President, Miss Carmel Somers, presided over a good attendance of members at the meeting on Thursday e vening, August 6. Four new members, namely, the Misses Ursula Cunningham, Kathleen Leahy. Lilian Whitely and Kathleen O'Meara, were introduced and welcomed to the Club. Members will regret to learn that the Club Chaplain, Rev. Father McDermott, has been a patient in St. John of God Hospital. That he may have a speedy recovery is the sincere w ish of all Club members. Miss Dulcie Swarbrick, the librarian, wishes to advise that several new books have been added to the Library. Invitations are in circulation for the "Wattle Carnival," to be held on Thursday, August 13, in the Cathedral Hall. Several girls have organised parties, but it is hoped that all the members will take an interest in the dance and be present, together with their friends. The committee are arranging for special decorations and novelties, and the dance promises to be an outstanding success.

Card Finals. On Monday evening, .August 3, the f aithful few of St. Columbaites faced the wind and the rain to play off, or w itness. the finals in our card tournaments. At the Swan Street Hall, the champion bridge player in the parish was declared to be Mr. Jim Patterson, who went home with the first prize of £6 afefully buttoned in the inside pocket of his waistcoat. 'Ah, well! one canna be too careful over here-did ye ken how our pastor eyed that envelope on handing it to me"—and hame he went to dance a heiland fling with the family, having fust bolted the doors, and then unbottoned his vest. Good luck to you—would that we had a parish of Glasgowites. if they were all as good as your name! Mr. Jerry McMullen smiled in his bashful way on receiving the second He and his partner had prize of £2. one run-away heat when in the second round they left their opponents with The single figures for eight hands! third prize went to Sirs. Wilson. So glad a lady figured in the winning three. As for the rest of us all-so-rans, we blamed the colour of the cards, our partners, and growled lustily about those who promised to come and did not. In the -Mikado," the Lord High E xecutioner has a condemned list. To those we recommend the names of parishioners who promise promptly and forget more promptly. "We have 'ern on the list: they never will be tnissed"—why not a special parish for We feel sure suburban parthem. ishes will gladly give their quotas—. they would quickly realise all they owe to the willing faithful few for church and school, and parochial undertakings. For the evening's play among those outside the competitors for the tournament prizes. Mrs. D. -J. Eddy chuckled the whole way to Forrest-street corner with an exquisite cut-glass crystal bowl under her arm, as the reward for her top score. Mr. Dawson, of Tate-street, handled his suspicious looking bottle rather lovingly as he proudly displayed the reward for his no-trumping that evening. The hostess of the evening was Mrs. Motcham, and her untiring efforts deserved a greater response from the parShe was assisted at supper by a ish. small group of ladies who gave us an supper- including excellent extra glasses of milk for the babies! To Mr. Bob Hannah fell the organisation of the play-off, and most thoroughly did he do it. Mr. Bob's perpetual grin and quiet assurance makes his presence at any social gathering a great sedative to nerves At the Pagoda
Ball, when the lights failed, he continued smiling, and everything was fine. At Swan Street Hall the promised tables did not come, but he continued to smile, and we smiled with him. Up in the School-room eleven tables of euchre fans fought for the honours and the handsome prizes, all donated by the organiser, Mrs. Jervis, of Victoria-street. It was a very happy e vening.

Mr. Norman Gledhill, as leader, was ably supported by the Misses Pat and Kay Kinnane, that the team was declared the winners. To Miss K. Kinnane was attributed the phrase that "Fascism was a Frankenstein monster that would devour its master." Fascism is interesting—at a long distance. Still we venture one suggestion to The Chathams, that a small dose of it in a struggling parish might educate our parochial democracy to become aware of their responsibilities to such a democracy.

DAY OF REPARATION. Last Sunday, the 2nd. inst., at the invitation of His Grace the Archbishop, the parishioners of Subiaco made public reparation to Our Divine Lord for the recent outrage perpetrated against the Blessed Sacrament at the parish church of St. Joseph. The Mass of General Communion was celebrated at 7.30 a.m. by His Grace the. Most Rev. Archbishop Prendiville, who was assisted by the Rev. Father J. Lyne. After the Gospel His Grace addressed the large congregation, and in due course administered Holy Comrnunion to several hundreds who, while offering their Mass and Communion in reparation. also remembered in their prayers the soul of their dearly loved pastor, the late Monsignor Verling. A Missa Cantata waa sung at 10 a.m. by the Rev. Father A. Johnston, assisted by Mr. J. Wall as M.C. The music of the Mass was exceptionally well rendered by the parish choir, under the directorship of Mr. T. Forristal. At the conclusion of the Mass the Blessed Sacrament was exposed for public adoration until the evening devotions, which consisted of the Holy Hour, preached by the Very Rev. Father Walsh, C.SS.R., and Pontifical Benediction imparted by His Grace the Archbishop, assisted by the Rev. Fathers J. Brennan and A. Johnston. During Exposition watch was kept by the Children of Mary and men of the parish. The large number of Communions and the continuous stream of people who came to the church for adoration and to assist at the Holy h our. paid eloquent tribute to the faith of the people of Subiaco, and to the fruitfulness of the long apostolate of the late Monsignor Verling. Special credit is due to the Sister Sacris• tan, who had so tastefully decorated the altar for the day's function and to the laymen who so efficiently marshalled the congregation. At the conclusion of the evening dc. votions the remains of the late Mon-signor Verling were brought into the church—being received by the Archbishop and clergy—and were laid be-fore the high altar of the church which the late Monsignor. generously helped by his devoted people, had raised to the glory of God—a fitting monument now to the zeal of a true priest and pastor. The casket opened. the Archbishop referred touchingly to the priestly virtues of the late prelate, and invited the people to come forward to have a last look at their pastor and to pray for his soul. The Dead March from "Saul" was played as the people reverently filed past the open casket in which lav the remains of the late Monsignor. clad in the priestly vestment, on his head a white mitre, his right hand adorned with the ring of the Proton°. tarY Apostolic. This impressive ceremony concluded the inspiring day of R eparation, possible because of the strength of the faith of the people—a faith so carefully nurtured lw the word and by the example of the late Monsignor Patrick Verling--a prelate and priest whose memory will be ever dear to the people of Subiaco, and indeed to the priests and people of the Archdiocese at large, for is it not true that the lust man shall he in everlastino r emembrance?"

THE LATE CARDINAL MORAN.
A memorial to the late Cardinal Moran has been completed in St. M ary's Cathedral, Sydney. The memorial, the cost of which exceeded £1,000, which is 11 feet high and 10 feet wide, and projects 15 inches from the wall, has been placed on the eastern wall of the Cathedral, close to the tomb of the late Cardinal Moran. It is the result of a bequest in the will of the late Monsignor D. F. O'Haran, who was the Cardinal's secretary for 27 years. Incorporated with the memorial, which is in the decorated Gothic style, are the coats of arms of Archbishops Poldino% Vaughan, and Kelly, and Coadjutor t' Archbishop Sheehan. There are also inscriptions in memory of the Venerable Archpriest Joseph Therry and Archdeacon John McEncroe and the Rev. Daniel Power, each of whom was associated with the early history of St. Mary's Cathedral. Provision has been made for future inscriptions. In the centre of memorial is a bronze bust of Cardinal Moran. which is framed by shields, on which are carved the v arious coats of arms. These, in turn, are enclosed within the elaborate tracery of the surrounding Gothic arch. While retaining the Gothic form. Australian flora, consisting of the waratah, gum, and flannel flower, has been incorporated in the carving. • • The foundation stone of "Ozanam House," Brisbane—Queenslan(l's new headquarters of the St. Vincent de Paul Society— was blessed and laid recently by His Grace the Archbishop of Brisbane (Most Rev.

The happy moments on to midnight sped all too quickly, and when the midnight hour struck, Mrs, Smith's orchestra, which excelled itself, played the last dance. bringing to a close a happy night's enjoyment. The older people who had come from the adjoining hall, where they, too, had their happy moments at an innocent game of cards. sat on from dance to dance, entranced with the beauty of the scene and smiling their pleasure. Miss Kathleen Fen. ton and her team of Children of Mary did both the organising and catering, and did it with an efficiency that is seldom equalled and rarely excelled The spot dance prizes were won by Mr. A shby and Miss Henderson and Mr. 1, Galvin and Mrs. Smith.

On Wednesday, July 29, was held the most successful - function for this year. or perhaps the best the Palmyra parish has ever seen. Never was there such a successful evening from every point of view. The crowd of onlookers and children participating was so great that the judging and the grand march had to be done in two sections. The sets and the costumes generally were so beautiful that the most accustomed ball-goers were astonished. And then how well the little ones were trained! They gave themselves up to unrestrained joy and pleasure, and yet were so orderly and innocent about .it all that the adults enjoyed them more than they ever could have enjoyed a ball on their own account. Mrs. Fennessey and her splendid band of helpers, and especially those who made the costumes and trained the little ones, are to be most sincerely congratulated. The prizes were awarded to the following: First prize, Royal Pageant Court Set (The Sisters) ; second prize, The Debutantes (Miss Searle): third prize, The Quakers (Miss L. Brennan); fourth prize, The Seasons (Miss L. Brennan) : fifth prize, angels (Miss L.

Sunday Bus Hike to New Norcia The weather on Sunday morning did not open too well for the hike to New Norcia, but about 9 a.m, the excursionists started to arrive in St. George s Terrace, and with very little delay the organiser, Mr. Chipper, soon had them all seated. At 9.40 both buses were on their way to their destination, New Noreia. Leaving the rain behind us, after a very pleasant trip, rather slow on account of the bad state of the roads, we pulled up at the Hostel, and needless to say all were quite ready for dinner. Some of the excursionists provided their own hampers and obtained the necessary hot water for tea making. Alter all had done justice to the inner man • we started on our c ruise of the institutions, the first being St. Joseph's Orphanage, where the Rev. Mother showed the visitors through the place which was an eye opener for most of the party. From there St. Gertrude's Convent was visited, and R ev. Sister Benedict gave the party a right royal welcome. After a visit visitors to the Convent Chapel the were shown over the College. Leaving the College. the Cathedral was the next place visited, and after placing the latlies under the care of Rev. Father A lcacle, 0.S.B., the men were shown o ver the Monastery by Rev.

McDHUI CLAN EXPOSED Want of Hospitality Leads to Breach of Friendship Serious Allegations By "Luke The Physician" Although the saying "All is not gold that glitters" cannot be applied to the halt sovereign which was recently awarded to the winner of our Guessing Competition, it would seem from the following letter that the Clan of McDhui is far from what it pretends it is, but while remaining entirely uncritical, A.B. is forced to let her sympathies go out to "Luke the Physician," because of having discovered that, while the McDhui Clan made great show of sendings 15s. to compensate her fur the loss of her solid piece of gold, that same piece of gold would have produced 11 sterling if sold to any jeweller.

TWENTY forward to handing in "A Fiver" in honour or St. Andrew and St. Elizabeth, it just doesn't look as if they will find their hopes realised, so please Mary, you say a prayer for them. lead oft this week's honours, as your anniversary will fall on the 9th., and we are sure the eight candles will be lighted in good time. Catholina, you are next, and the book says you will be 11 on the 11th., and as Basil will be the same age as you on the 12th., parties will be the order of the day in You each have Mt. Lawley parish. the distinction of being a true soldier of the Bushies, and may you remain as loyal and helpful to them as you grow older, for we were not created just to live our own little lives on this earth and give no one else any heed, but we were meant to be little apostles just like those first generous ones that attached themselves to Our Divine Lord and from whom they learnt the lesson of doing good to everyone who crossed their path--so may it be with you, my Mary, Catholina and Basil.

The first Sunday in August saw a very fair rally of tertiaries, in spite of In the Cavery boisterous weather. thedral Hall, Sister Monica (Ballard) read a paper on "Saint Francis and the Blessed Sacrament," which was followed by one by Sister Anthony Both papers were well ( McDonnell) . prepared and proved both interesting and pactical. ,A change of date for the monthly meeting was discussed, but the decision was left to he settled next month, so that the September meeting will be held on the first Sunday of that month as usual. In the Cathedral at 4 p.m. the Spiritual Director, Rey. J. Kennedy, after a short address, exhorted the members to have great devotion to Our Lady this month, and to particularly observe her great feast, the Assumption. the Special prayers were said for Spanish Catholics, at present in great peril. Father Kennedy then gave the devotions for the Franciscan IndulTwo brogence of the Portiuncula. thers and one sister were received into the Order. Origin of the Portiuncula Indulgence. Rather more than a mile from Assisi, a city near Perugia, in Italy, at the end of the year 342, there was built by four pius hermits a little chapel, in honour of the Blessed Virgin, called Given in the 7th. "Mary's Chapel." century to the Benedlictine Fathers, it was enlarged and embellished, but the ground on which it stood was so very small that it receivedl the name of the " Portiuncula" (or Little Portion), and which, on account of an apparition of angels, which took place there later on. came to be known as "St. Mary of the St. Francis, called the Angels." "Seraphic." whose holiness was to give such lustre to Assisi, his birthplace, frequented from his early childhood this little church, and when grown to manhood he saw that it was about to fall into ruins. Ile asked and obtained from the Benedictine Abbot, Tebaldo, permission to set about restoring it and erected in its neighbourhood also a tiny hut for himself, which he preferred ever afterwards to After having livany other lodging. ed there quite alone, without any companion whatever, for the space of two years, one night, about the year 1221, an angel appeared to him and told him to go at once to the Oratory, close by, to attend on the Lord Jesus. His Blessed Mother, and a large company of angels. At this announcement, trembling with holy joy, went our Saint to the renovated chapel. and barely had he entered than he perceived, as the angel had predicted, in the midst of a large concourse of adoring angels. Jesus and His Mother Marv, who tenderly en. couraged him to beg for some favour, some grace, in return for his good work. The holy Patriarch, always full of brotherly love, impregnated with spiritual zeal and fraternal charity, asked that whoever should visit that little church might obtain a Plenary Indulgence- after confession and Holy Communion to an approved confessor. Our Lord acceded to his request, only stipulating, however, that he should go to the Pope and to him recount the vision and request, etc.. in order to obtain his approval. Pope Honorius III. was at that time in Perugia, and thither in haste went Francis. Astonished at such a re. quest, the good Pope. however, atter weighing all the details, naturally accorded the required permission, whereupon Francis immediately prepared to depart: but Honorius stopped him to asked whether. "simple man that he was," he did not require a signed document to that effect? But Francis refused one, saving that God Himself w ould authenticate that favour and w ould in His own good time render it complete and fruitful- which indeed happened in this wise. Since the Indulgence had not been established to any given date, Francis begged Our Lord to let him know His . Divine Will, which He did in a marvellous manner. One sad night, poor S t. Francis was very grievously tor. mented by the devil to return to his former gay life in the world, and in order to subdue his desires he rose up, divested himself of his clothing and rolled into a thorn hush, in the hittei cold of a winter's night, with ice and snow all around, when the temptation suddenly ceased. In recognition of this heroic acz. an angel again sum. moned St. Francis to the Portiuncula when .Tesos rendered Himself once more visible to the r,ortal eyes o: our saint .and informed him that the In.

dulgence, for which he had pleaded would be obtained on the date that St. Peter had been freed from prison, between August 1 and August 22. So off went our Saint again to the Pope. taking with him some of the miraculous roses that had blossomed that bitter cold night on the bare thorn bush into which he had rolled in order to authenticate his demand, for only a miracle could have caused them to bloom in such a spot and in so cold a season. Honorius at once understood the marvel and gave the necessary permission for Francis to make known to a large concourse of people gathered from the seven nearest towns this unique Indulgence, which at first was restricted to the Portiuncula Church, hut as the three Franciscan Orders grew and spread is was extended to all Franciscan churstes throughout the world, or to a church where one of the Franciscan Orders is established.
