A particularly dull pupil could not be made to understand the meaning of the word "island," so the teacher, who was thoroughgoing, decided to give him a practical demonstration. He placed a piece of wood in the centre of a dish of water and showed how the piece was surrounded on all sides by water. "Now," • he said, "do you know what an island is?" " Yes,- said the pupil, gratefully. "it's a piece of wood in a plate of water." "What did the doctor say about your case?" "Only 'llr-rumph . er : : : umph er "What did that mean?" -Ten guineas."* "That means fight where I come f rom!"

Confusion Between Divorce and Annulment Two Cases Where The Church Grants Divorce Money is No Consideration The Rota

With

(By Francis P. Lebuffe, S.J.)

ECENT news releases from Vatican City showed that of eighty-four pronouncements handed down by the Sacred Roman Rota during 1935, eighty dealt with the question of the nullity of marriages. Of these eighty, thirty-five were "annulled- and forty-five declared valid. This news release provokes the oft‘repeated discussion of "anm‘lment" and divorce in the Church, and the difference between the two. By a divorce is meant. of c ourse, the dissolution of an existing marriage bond with permission to re-marry. Annulment, on the contrary, means the declaration that no marriage bond had ever existed, that the reputed marriage was null and nonexistent from the beginning. The distinction is vital. If a marriage was celebrated. but thereafter it was proved that the consent of one of the contracting parties was merely feigned or, oppositely, was so forced that there was no freedom of choice, then that marriage would be annulled. i.e.. would be declared So, too. never to have existed. if a Catholic marries without the priest—barring two quite unusual cases—such a marriage is non-existent, and the contracting parties are not man and wife in the eves of the Church. And so with the other "diriment" or "destructive' impediments which make it impossible for the contract to ensue. There is not, and cannot be, any question of divorce in such case, because there can be no dissolution of a nonexistent bond. There is no marriage to be dissolved. The Pauline Privilege. Rut does the Catholic Church ever grant a real divorce, sundel-ing the bond of a real marriage? The answer is that she does grant a divorce in certain cases.

The teacher who is not too much obsessed by the examination spectre at the end of the year will treat this subject of Poetry with an eye to the child's future. He should try through the medium of verse to enrich his concept of the world and of life, to teed his fancy with what is great and good and beautiful, to lift him out of what too frequently is a life of sordid, or at best, prosaic, environment, and let him on the swift wings of poesy soar into that world of fancy where Beauty is Truth—Trust Beauty. At the outset it is necessary to point out to the pupil the methods of approach towards the t rue appreciation of a piece of poetry. It must be remembered that these rules must serve as a guide to the young student, and having mastered them, he must put them into practice by a personal effort to sift out "that something" in a poetic piece which appeals to those whose minds are attuned to artistic beauty. Two books of special help to teachers on this subject are: Osborne's "Study of English Verse" and Hepple's "Lyrics." There are various methods of approach to the appreciation of a poem. The following from "Lyrical Studies" may prove helpful: (a) Theme or motive; (b) Development: (c). Literary beauty and appeal : (d) Music.

e) Mood, or Atmosphere; outcome to (c), depe.nds on the emotion pervading the poem. Mood may be wistful, sad, joyful, inLanguage will echo dignant. the sense. Vowel sound and alliteration will play a prominent part in creating mood.

Fear rules Germany today, and even here in England I dare not allude to the heroic things being done in Germany by Catholics lest I should land them in prison. "I have been through a terrible experience, and had I not been sustained by the practice of my Faith in prison (thank God that they allowed us that) and the devotion of my dear wife and her heartening letters, I should not have managed to survive."

St. Patrick's School Thursday afternoon, August 6, was bright and sunny. Excitement was at its highest at St. Patrick's. We were going to play C.B. College, Fremantle, at Fremantle. Our three te_atna. Firsts, Under 14 Years, and Under 12 years, were feeling fit and ready for the fray. Our supporters 41Ied three buses, so we felt confident. Our Firsts played on the Fremantle Oval, They put up a fine showing, but the C.R.C. team was just too good for us. The final whistle blew with C.I3.C., 6.3, St. Patrick's, 5.8. Best players: J. O'Dea, A. Margaria, C. Gillard, W. Brighton, El. Toovey, W. Owens. Goals: N. Gardiner, C. Gillard. K. Moriarty (2), and J. O'Dea. Our Under 14 team was more successful. It was a very evenly contestkd game. Our boys had to tight to win by one paint. The final scores were: St. Patrick's. 2.6; C.B.C., 2.5. Best Players: M. Crowe. Callanan, D. Creeper, J. O'Reilly, Gerovitch. Goals: D. Creeper and Gerovitch. In the Under 13 match, the C.B.C. lads were much superior in their kicking and marking. The score for C.B.C. rapidly piled up. Final scores: C.B.C.. 7.4; St. Patrick's. 4.5. Best Players: Somers, Franklyn. Doyle, Rawlings. Goals: K. Duffy, Jones. Somers, and McGuire. The school would like to take this opportunity to thank two generous benefactors of St. Patrick's, who donated the football outfit for the Firsts' team. ANSWER TO CORRESPONDENT. J .M.C.

Transferring Imperialist War into Civil War /1 V HL following letter has been received apropos a recent article in "The . Record" denouncing the publication, "World Peace," the monthly bulletin of the Australian Council Against War and Fascism. Our correspondent gives a (leeper significance to the movement, as a subtle instrument of C,uninunistic propaganda. The compelling facts herein enumerated should be studied by all conscientious Catholics. To the Editor. ,sir,—Apropos your comments under the heading: "Fascism's Women Slaves Sectkuian Challenge.' which appeared in "The Record" of August 1, hAve come across an article in the issue of "America," dated October 20, 1934, written by G. M. Godden. The "America," as you know, is a Catholic weekly review, edited by the American Jesuit Fathers in New York. The article referred to is under the title: "New Communist Campaign Among American Women,- and is an amazing sidelight on the activities of a Congress which was summoned in Paris, in August, 1934, under the enticing slogan: "Against War and Fascism." , women delegates at the "The 1200 Paris Congress," runs the article, "included 39 delegates from America, 6a0' delegates from France, 40 delegates from delegates from Germany, 53 Itaiy, 46 delegates from Holland, and delegates from Belgium, Spain. Scandinavia, the Saar, Poland, Canada, Australia, Japan, China, the U.S.S.R., and the smaller European States. The Congress was officially described as -The First Great International Rally of Women," and the official organ of the Communist International, published in Moscow, claimed that "never before have the spokesmen (sic) of mih lions of women gathered together:and announced that "from this Congress. which embraces the whole globe, a powerful movement will emanate which will draw women into an invincible united front." (International Press Correspondence, August 17, 1934.) The article tells us that the Congress opened with scenes of great enthusiasm and with the singing of the "Internationale." that battle song of Corn. munism which deliberately affronts God in its declaration: "No Saviour Delegates from on high deliver." "promised to carry back the enthusiaw. of the world congress," and on their return to their respective countries, they were "to devote themselves to the practical application of the Congress decisions." Thus was inaugurated "a camouflaged campaign launched under cover of a bogus anti-war and an anti-Fascist drive; and it is the skilful camouflage of this Congress and of the campaign it inaugurates which makes it necessary for all Catholic women to be put in possession of the facts." "The British Labour Party," the ar• tick proceeds, "has already exposed the real origin of the new campaign in that brilliant pamphlet which should be in the hands of all American and British Catholics- - 'The Communist Solar System.' Under cover of a pre. tended attack upon war, the Communist organisers are attracting great numbers of men and women of good will: not excluding. as they declare, Catholics who have no accurate knowledge of what the Communist slogan of "antiwar- means to its inventors, It is a Slogan which was launched at a Communist "anti-war" Congress, so-called. held in Amsterdam in 1932. At this Congress the French Communist leader defined the tactics 'to be employed: "You ask for our tactics. These are our tactics. Transforming imperialist war into civil war." I should mention here that, as a result of the Amsterdam Congress in 1932. "The Council Against War and Fascism" came into being. -The whole weight of Communist pronaganda," to quote further from the a rticle. "at the time of the Congress in Paris, and again at a London confer. the ee.ce, was directed to prepare minds of workers for civil war, to .be f omented in the event of any country. e xcept the Soviet Union. becoming involved with any foreign Power. And a s this idea of civil war is: spread, so t here is spread with it the propaganda (q the defence of the Soviet t mon. as At the the workers' "Fatherland." sayrie time Soviet Russia is piling up her own Communist armaments- and is constructing an immensely powerful

Communist air force. It is obvious that the tactics of this bogus 'antiwar" campaign are really the tactics of that ''disinte g-ratioi behind the front," which is so essential a method of mod. ern warfare."

the multitude of evils which it opposes: the multitude of genuine achievements which it espouses. Only —all the truth in its message is vitiated by its fundamental untruth, the denial of the spiritual character of mankind himself." This, however, is another story. The point is the sinister, diabolic method which the Communists are using. Are we Catho1ic3 —all of us—cognisant of it? The Holy Father, from his vantage point in Vatican City, has repeatedly not only warned us of the dangers of Communism, hut he has also made it clear in these pronouncements—at least by implication—that it is a dangerous thing to sup with the devil.

Any sugmences this week is the Literary gestions or constructive criticism Competition, particulars of which will also be welcomed. I need not quote any further. The "Council Against War and Fascism" appears to be a cog in the wheel of Moscow's policy of the united front. The policy laid down at the Paris Congress is one of united action of all creeds, and of all varieties of the creedless, of all social strata, and of all political parties against "Fascism and War." For the past twelve months especially, the slogans "Against Fascism and War," used as rallying cries for all men and women open to emotional appeals, have sounded through two hemispheres. The skilfully selected bait is defence against "Fascism" and "War." The ultimate goal is not defence, but construction—the 'construction of Soviet power. Perhaps if there were direct attacks on dogma. Catholics would be alert to respond. But the enemy to-day is relatively unconcerned with those objects of attack which formerly characterised the Protestant offensive. The attempt is now made by the Marxists to create the illusion in the minds of the people that the Church is allied with Capitalism, Fascism, and the forces of social and political reaction. Unfortunately, the circulation of the Catholic Press is not sufficiently wide to counteract this ever-increasing propaganda. A s far as Australia is concerned, the Marxist strategy is not so much to attack the Church here, since people see it as it is and are not easily deceived, but rather to concentrate on The Sothe Church in foreign lands. cialist revolt in Spain in October, 1934 and the present civil war in that country, in which Catholics were, and are, certainly championing the cause of democracy- and freedom against the terrorising attempts of Marxist revolutionaries (with the connivance of Spanish Grand Orient Freemasonry), to set up a Socialist dictatorship, were and are being portrayed in the press here as if the Socialists were nobly fighting to have the Republic from reactionary Cathplic Fascism. It max' be asked: "With what ultimate aim is this vast campaign, supand Fascism. posedly against war Moscow has supplied being waged?" the answer in one of those surprising moments of franknes so characteristic of her diplomats. The Seventh World Congress, a year ago, chose as its slogan, "From the Fight for Peace to the Fight for Revolution . . . to the Fight Leaders of the Comfor Civil War." munist parties, speaking on Communist platforms- in any country in the world. make this perfectly clear.

Newman on the Mass To me nothing is so consoling, so piercing, so thrilling, so overcoming, as the Mass said as it is among us. I could attend Masses for ever and not be tired," wrote Cardinal Newman in 'Loss and Gain." He added: "He becomes present on the altar in flesh and blood before Whom angels bow and devils tremble. This is that awful event which is the end, and is the interpretation. of every part of the solemnity. Words are necessary, but as means, not as ends; they are not mere addresses to the throne of grace, they are instruments of what is far higher, of consecraThey hurry tion, of sacrifice. on as if impatient to fulfil their Quickly they go, the mission. whole is quick; for they are all parts of one integral action. Quickly they go; for they are awful words of sacrifice, they are a work too great to delay upon; as when it was said in the beginning, 'What thou doest, do quickly.' Quickly they pass for the Lord Jesus goes with them, as He passed along the lake in the days of His flesh, quickly calling first one and then another. Ouickly they pass; because as the lightning which shineth from one part of the heaven unto the other. so is the coming of the Son of Man."

The Finale of Pennants. How the season passes! Only two inure rounds and several clubs will bid adieu to competitive tennis until the new year comes in again. At the present stage several clubs are battling hard to remain amongst the "big four" Prognostications for the final clash. have been made by those who consider they are gifted with knowledge of how to pick the ultimate winner, whilst each club official will not hear of defeat of his own particular team. All are keyed up to a point of keen enthusiasm, which makes for the game and the good of the contest. This year will go down as one of keenness and outstanding interest by a large circle of players and officials. St. Mary's Annual Dinner, When they undertake a function, St. Mary's members make sure of a successful fixture, so it will not be out of place to record the fact that the dinner to be will go down as a bumper This annual -get-together' success. meeting will be held in the Stirling Institute on Saturday, September 9. The musical side of the dinner will be a feature, whilst the menu will be one that will act as an incentive to those who have been injected with the germ of hesitancy. "Outsiders" are requested to intimate at an early date their intention of attending, otherwise they will have to inhale the good things from an obscure position. Our Socials.

He will start by saying "See they only had a small crowd at the last function," or some such sneer, and follow it with "What can you expect when such an old 'has been' as So-and-So is on the executive!" In nine cases out of ten, too, you will find this chap is the one who gets his run for the monev that he puts into his club. The association is one of the most intensely controlled Catholic sporting bodies known, and has earned repeated compliments from outside bodies for the excellence of its organisation. Its annual tournaments, pennant seasons country carnivals and such like fixtures are conducted on the highest order, and is the envy of other controlling bodies. In addition to this, the annual social programme caters for all members. regardless of age or sex, But the outstanding work of this great association is its promotion of interclub sociability, which has resulted in so mane happy results. It is the onle Catholic body in the world which beings girls and boys together in social and sporting intercourse. What matter then if only four prominent players of an exacted grade attended at the last social fixture. The work will go on! A body of seven hundred members vill never die.

At the last annual election of utticers for the Civil Services Association, it was noticed that the never-tiring and e fficient member, in the person of Bert Heagney, was re-elected to the position of auditor, an honour well deserved. The volume of work and list of portfolios held by this official is hidden by the fart that he does not believe in limelight nor broadcasting.

Study Circle Notes

Our Weekly Euchre Tournament is recognised as setting a headline for all similar functions throughout the State. In other places euchre is played; in St. Mary's they know how to play it and it is always played there as it should be played—to play it there is always an unalloyed pleasure.

A t the Subiaco Study Circle this week the Gospel story was continued. The return of Christ to Galilee was followed, and His further persecution by His enemies, resulting in His retirement with His disciples to the North again, where He gave to Peter the promise of the Primacy of His Church and foretold His approaching Death, Resurrection, and in the fullness of time A paper was read by His Advent. Miss M. Walsh on the Sacrament of Confirmation. Discussion and general conversation followed.

Australian Redemptorists in Burma ( Continued from Page i1.) A layman writing in The Voice,' their official Catholic magazine, re. marks: "I confess that I watched the inauguration with anxious interest -not unmingled with undefinable fears. But from the start as I looked around the Cathedral and noticed the eager and expectant faces, I felt that Almighty God had been merciful to us. and that the Mission was going to be a pronounced success. I can now breathe forth a thankful prayer that Jesus did not pass us by unfruitfully. The fruits are visible should anyone take the trouble of assisting at Mass on any week clay. . . . Did we not meet like a huge family at the evening devotions and sing till our lungs were about to burst? We did. For who could help being infused with a fresh zeal--a conception of the true meaning of life and an ardent love of God? . . . I must now .conclude in the words that these Redemptorists have taught us to utter at the conclusion of the school children's instruction, 'God bless you, Fathers: with the prayer that Divine Providence. may bless them with many other catches like those they had in Mandalay and more." . God bless the people of Burma. And as they desire may God send them one day a Redemptorist foundation there. May we crave a daily prayer from the reader of these lines—that the day May come, and come quickly, when the heart of Buddhist Burma will throb with love for Christ our King, and Mary, Queen and Mother of us all.

Kings. Now it is the haunt of owls, and the lazy lizards loll upon its ramparts, while a stagnant moat lies coiled around its walls—all a silent monument to a Burma that is dead and gone. Old buffalo carts jolted along its dusty old streets. Bazaars sometimes choked up the roadway, and again, phoongies and pagodas everywhere. To the street pump or well people come for water, and men fill their pig-skins to carry away. Many a time as I saw those eastern women by the well I thought of the Samaritan woman of the Gospel. Another scene which called to mind the Sacred Scriptures was the ox on the rice field treading out the grain. I was not in the jungle, and hence saw little of Burma's flora and fauna. There was little occasion for monkeys, tigers, bears or elephants to cross my track. Certainly I saw glorious flowers in Burma, but they were grown in gardens and did not come from the wilds. FTOT11 Mandalay we passed on to Maymyo. It is the hill station some four thousand feet above sea level. There it can be very cold and we had to wear our warmest Australian winter clothes. We were high in the hills but not so high as we might have been—for the Chin hills can lift their lofty peaks twelve thou, sand feet in the air. They bow before the mighty Himalayas yonder. One day during our mission at Maymyo a French Canadian priest, a member of . the French Foreign Mission Society, came down from the snow regions. He tramped down on foot and on foot would trudge back again. The whole journey would take about a month. He came for his ICachin converts, who had left the higher hills for Maymyo. This priest was one of many working for God and souls in those wild isolated parts. They work alone in a hard field where the results are not always quick in coming. But they do come in God's good time. The priests of the French Foreign Mission have accomplished mighty things in Burma. Their task is no easy one for each priest has to learn to speak at least two foreign languages fluently—English, and then either Burmese. Chinese or Tamil. They have paid and are paying the price of souls. They have martyrs for the Faith among their ranks in Burma. Non-Catholics can give testimony to their worth, and I quote the words of one such - Commissioner.. there: "I know nothing more praiseworthy than the devotion of Catholic missionaries who live ascetic lives in solitary places, sacrificing the world to their vocation— subsisting on almost nothing a month and giving alms out of that wage." Again he says, "Apart from the religious aspect, the educational and civilising value of their mission work cannot be over -rated." This educational work is done in Maymya and Mandalay by Brothers and Nuns. The Sisters of St. Joseph of the Apparition care for • little orphans and train the girls to be pure and good.

PERTH, ATUR DAY, AUGUST 15. 1936.

To the City and the World

On June 29th., the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul, the Holy Father addressed an encyclical, through the American Hierarchy. to the whole Catholic .world, on the control of the film industry. The title of the Papal Letter, derived from its opening words— "With a watchful eye"—reminds us once more of the unceasing vigilance of the City over the World. The Pope traces the rise of the League of Decency in the United States and praises the American Hierarchy upon being "among the first to study how VOL might ,safeguard the souls of those entrusted to your care." Above all, the Holy Father exults in the clean film campaign as a supreme manifestation of the power and perfection of Catholic Action. Thus "we can joyfully say that few problems of modern times have so closely united Bishops and people as this Crusade." The second part s of the Encyclical deals broadly with the evil of had films and the particular danger they have become for the seduction of youth, euding with an exhortation to the Bishops of the whole Catholic world "to watch this world-wide and potent form of amusement, and at the same time education, to make the world appreciate .the value of banning any attack on moral and religious sentiment, and anything which is contrary to the Christian spirit and its ethical principles, tirelessly fighting whatever tends to weaken the people's sense of virtue and honour." No ill-informed puritanical attack upon pleasure here. The Pope expressly recognises the necessity of the multiple fortng of recreation under modern conditions and of the paramount place of the cinema in that scheme of things. He speaks of its being received by the soul "with joy and without fatigue." he is not unacquainted with the "talkie cinema," but appreciates how it makes the presentation of facts easier. He even speaks of "the fascination of musical opera combined with dramatic action," and of "the dances and variety" that are introduced arbitrarily into the byplay. If the Papal Encyclical did nothing more, it should arrest the world as the opinion of a man who had followed the development of the cinema with a keen and penetrative mind. Nor does the Pope condemn the film industry with sweeping gesture as. something- intrinsically evil. He fearlessly faces its.. betrayal of Christian moral life in its glorification of passion, the false glamour it throws over life, the befogging of ideals, the destruction of pure love, reverence for marriage and family life. He indicates also how the film can create prejudices among individuals and differences between nations, social classes, and whole races. But this type of development is not necessary nor inevitable, he insists. There is no reason why "pictures" should not exercise a profoundly moral influence upon those that see them. The Pope envisages the film industry as an incomparable power for grod, serving "in a practical way towards the extension of the l' ingdom of God upon earth." Besides giving recreation, they can arouse noble ideals of life, spread important and valuable ideas, present truth and virtue under an attractive form, .create—or at least favour—understanding between nations and classes and promote the cause of justice. In a word, the Pope does not want sloppy religious films or sentimental pietism. Everything that is natural, bright and interesting is welcome. Moral obstacles only arise when the subject matter or the treatment of a film is presented in the form of a temptation to those who see and hear it. Most important, however, is the third and last section of the Encyclical. Realising that pious hopes or a laissez-faire policy will not right an industry which needs to be "fully disciplined with the principles of Christian morals," the Pope, as the Supreme Pastor of the Church, lays upon all Bishops the duty of setting up permanent boards of review for the control of the film industry. The Pope outlines organisation on the lines of the American Legion of Decency, whereby the faithful- annually renew a "promise to stay a way from films that offend truth and Christian morality." The fulfilment of this promise means that films must be classified, and the classification made available to the people through the Catholic Press. It should he inspiring to Catholics to have this clear and definite lead from the Common Father in a cloctment illustrative of wide knowledge and concise detail of organisation. May our loyalty he not less than that of the American people when the Hierarchy of Australian launches the campaign !

A Bishop Withdraws Attack on Pope

Kalgoorlie C.Y.M.S.

A DMITS EXAGGERATION. The Anglican Bishop of Bradford, England, Dr. A. W. F. Blunt, admitted to me to-day that he had been guilty of an exaggeration in an attack he made on the Holy Father last month, for "not daring to say a word in condemnation of the Italian aggression of Abyssinia," writes a c orrespondent of the "Universe." Dr. Blunt had said that the Pope, "although no longer a prisoner of the Vatican, seems to have imprisoned his mind." This caused a great deal of controversy locally. But Dr. Blunt is a fair-minded man, .and to-day, in his study at A cable from Vatican City on Horton Hall, Bradford, I showed Monday reported that the Pope him reports of several of the Holy has made an energetic protest to Father's speeches which were the Spanish Government at the not given in the secular Press. murders of priests and the ejecThat they were news to the tion of nuns frojn hospitals. the Bishop was evident from. the burning of churches and the pro- thoughtful manner in which he fanation of bodies.

Catholic Medical Ethics A declaration, which ha elicited the hearty commendation of the Holy Father, was drawn up by the medical faculty of Laval University, Quebec. The dean and faculty of medicine of Laval University took occasion to formulate the teaching and the attitude of each with respect to the demands of Catholic morals in the exercise of the medical profession. They first call attention to "the tradition of respect. the spirit of faith and the intelligent adherence to Catholic morality received from their predecessors both in university education and in medical practice.So member of the faculty, the declaration continues, "would wish to propagate or to facilitate in any manner the immoral practices of a pretended eugenics, of culpable birth control, or of unwarranted sterilisation of mar ried persons, even of sterilisation of the abnormal ;" nor would he approve "any direct intervention that might deprive the child of birth, life or the grace of Holy Baptism." The faculty, individually and collectively. -"regards as an imperious duty of justice. faced with the imminence of death, to suggest to their patients the regulation of their affairs, both temporal and spiritual, instead of extolling a pagan euthanasia." In particularly tragic cases where there is danger of death for the mother in the birth of the child, they would seek "to preserve the life of the patient without directly causing the death of the child." A letter from Cardinal Pacelli says this declaration has caused the Holy Father great satisfaction and has given him an estimate of the religious spirit that rules in the university and in particular "the devotion to Catholic principles of those who are directing an instruction as important and as delicate as that of medicine."

Annhal Ball. Congratulations are due to the committee for the excellent arrangements on the occasion of the Prison Ball, which took place in the Town Hall on Wednesday, August 5.

Football. Already quite a good number of our patrons have booked for our trip to A rmadale, which comes off on August 30. Our football enthusiasts are looking forward to this match, which will probably be our last country match, as our Spring bus trips will be commencing at the end of September. We are still not quite certain about the seven or six buses, and we ask our intending patrons to help us out of this difficulty by booking immediately with our assistant secretary, Joe Lowry, or with any member of the committee. The bus will leave from Parry-street, and the charge will be two shillings.

Goerke gave us a very interesting account of the life of the great English poet and novelist, Sir Walter Scott. After the last two talks there was a discussion on the respective characters. Then, to finish a very enjoyable evening, J. Smith gave us a graphic description of the football match, College v. Piawaning. The meeting was closed by the chairman at 7.45 p.m. St. Ildephonsus' College Rifle Club. A t the meeting of the S.I.C.

Don't forget the annual meeting or the cricket club, which will be held in the club rooms at ten o'clock on Sunday, August 16.

BIRTHDAY GREETINGS TO Billy O'Meara, Carmel Hickey, Billy Hughes, Bert Rigg, "Spring Onion," Patsy Smith, Margaret Buswell, Kathleen McLernon, and Keith McManus, Tiddles, Wet Blanket, and Sandy. Dear Nieces and Nephews,—This must be the most popular week in all the year for birthdays, since we do not usually have a whole dozen to congratulate, but the more the merrier- especially as this is the Corner's Birthday Week, and three most important members of the official staff are among YOU. I wish you, each and all, a very happy birthday. Bill, Wet Blanket and Sandy, as well as Tiddles are the first, as your anniversaries, my dears, occur on the beautiful feast of Our Lady's Assumption. Billy, we hope you like being Nine as much as Tiddles, Sandy and the Wet Blanket like being Five, though, of course, you look much younger for your years than they do, but then they have to live with me most of the time, so we have ,to excuse their aged appearances! Billy O'Meara and Carmel Hickey, aged Nine and Ten respectively, stand up please. and tell us whether you love the Bikshies and me as much as you did when you first joined this Corner, for that's the question I am going to put to everyone of the grown-ups who have fallen away during the last live years? Well, whether you do or not, we will like you just the same, and we hope you are going to enjoy every moment of the feast of St. Joachim, as that is the beautiful feast on which the both of you came into this world. Ask St. Joachim on your birthday to obtain for you a greater love for Our Blessed Lady who was his daughter and for Our Blessed Lord who was His Grandchild, and ask him, too, to bless two other .roachims in whom I am specially interested. Then there's you, Bert. celebrating your Thirteenth anniversary on the 1Sth., and I'm afraid you've outgrown year's the Corner, as well as last knickerbockers, since we have not seen your signature to a letter for a very long time. Also. Spring Onion, it looks as if you've gone to seed and forgotten to spring up again, so we hope you will make a good resolution to show you're sti1l alive When you greet your Thirteenth birthday on the 21st. Patsy, you will be Five on that date, and you are as true as most little girls of your age prove to be, and so are you Margaret. whose right to have Six candles on the cake will give joy to your party on the 22nd. One of your group (are you blushing, Kathleen?) came back last week just in time to gain our sweetest smile in honour of her 12th. Birthday, which she will keep up on the 22nd., and on that same date one of my famous nephews from Mary's Mount will be ready to receive every gift addressed to him ( are you listening. Keith? ), so may the hoth of you, along with small Margaret. have great reason to rejoice that t he 22nd. has come at last. Dear Children, I have one big wish for you, and that is that you will gain the gift of constancy, for unless we are constant through life to our Holy Faith. to our own home ties and our f riendships, and to the good we purpose to accomplish, we will be more or less discontented with ourselves and all around us, whereas if we remain constant to the affections to which we give ourselves and all that is best in us, this constancy %fill reap its own recompense, and number us among the sati<fied people in this big world.

Nathanael. Having reached the heights of the hills of Ephraim, the little company were passing through Bethel, and the meadows which had once witnessed the Vision of Jacob, when they perceived a Jew seated beneath a fig tree. It was Nathanael. - the friend of Philip, who was to become the fifth disciple of the Saviour.

This newly elect was of a lineage more noble than the other four, and apparently he always retained something of an air of distinction in the midst of the rest, just as he is represented. in the paintings of the Middle Ages. with his purple mantle broidered He was with precious stones. versed in sacred literature, and perhaps he was meditating there beneath the fig tree; for the Jews were wont to seek the shade of this tree at the "Hour of Prayer." Philip called to him: telling him "We have found Him \\Thom Moses in the Law, and the Prophets. have announced: 'tis Jesus the Son of Joseph of Nazareth!"

Jesus encouraged Nathanael with promises of a heavenly revelation, but the Vision of the Cro,,s He shared alone, as yet, with Mary.

This name Of Nazareth! awoke at once in the mind of Nathanael an invincible objecWas it not written that tion. the Messiah would be born in Bethlehem?

The Call. Philip still believed that Nazareth was the birthplace of Jesus. and of Joseph. His father; he did not know how to respond to the difficulties made by his friend: but with unshaken faith, all he could say way: "Come and see!" They were indeed the very w ords of the Master, which he repeated then; for he knew what had been their power over Andrew and John, and availed himself of them as though they were some divine charm to lure Nathanael. So soon as the Saviour saw the latter corning toward Him: "Behold a true Israelite." He said. a man in whom there is no guile!" What a meed of praise those words bestow!

righteousness, and know that one is "of that Israel which is not of the flesh, but of God?" Nathanael, in his surprise at seeing himself already known, replied with quiet candour: "How do You know me?" "Before Philip called thee." said the Saviour. "when thou were under the fig tree, I saw thee." Evidently Jesus then made an allusion to something that had occurred under the tree, before Philip called to him—some action which must he still a secret to us. .but one which was as well known to Him, as it was to Nathanael. By recalling it. the Lord revealed Himself as the glance Who,:e Divine Seer. pierces all mysteries.

"Master." cried out Nathanael, "You are the Son of God, the King of Israel!" These two titles explain each other. Nathanael did not make use of the first as meaning that Jesus was the Son of C&od by nature, equal and consubstantial with His Father: but he recognised in Him the object of His nation's vows. the Son of God. the King of Israel. The Vision of God. Jesus followed out the thought.: "Because I have said to thee that I saw thee beneath the fig tree, thou dost believe; thou shalt see things greater still. Of a truth, ay, ot a truth," He repeated, 'thou shalt see the heavens opened, and the Angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of As has been hinted, the hills of Bethel undoubtedly suggested this allusion to the Lord. Therefore, that which Israel had once beheld in this very land on which they now trod, but had seen only in a dream, this it was given to Nathanael, the true Israelite, to contemplate in reality: the heavens thrown open, to shower down grace divine; Jehovah, no longer afar off, on the cloud-hung apex of the celestial ladder, but pitching His tent in the midst of us: earth united to Heaven, bv ties not visionary but everlasting,. by the communion of those Angels who ascend to God, bearing unto Him the prayers of men. and again descend to us. the bearers of His blessing. And this saintly commerce was no faraway hope held out, to their longing hearts; for from that very - hour Jesus commenced His O ffice of Mediator. He has given us assurance of this by the affirmation —the form of which St. John has preserved for us, and which so well befitted Him who is the eternal Amen : "Amen. Amen, T say unto you: Yon shall see the Heavens opened. and the Angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man." Homeward Bound. With these fi ve disciples Jesus kept on along the road northwards, and as the' were journeying without any train or beasts of burden, they soon reached Nazareth. On their arrival they did not find Marv; for "on the third day there was a wedding celebration at Cana of Galilee, and the Mother of Jesus was there." A s He also was invited to take part in their merrvmaking-s. _Testis .in company with His disciples, pushed onwards to Cana that same evening. To he Continued.)

THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK. Sunday: Jesus was often and deeply troubled at the number of those who had not yet known the name of God and His Christ. So was St. Paul continually troubled; so St. Francis Xavier in the midst of the Eastern heathen; so the main- saints who have burst with zeal for the house of God, and have spent themselves on its account. Monday: "Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say: Father save me from this hour. But for this cause I came into this hour. Father, glorify my name." (St. John.) Tuesday: Treachery must always give trouble, even though we may have the courage at the same time to "rejoice that we are accounted worthy to suffer for the Name of Christ," but the treachery of a friend is the cruellest of all. W ednesday: "Friend, whereto art thou come?—Judas. (lost °mit- -"" betray the Son of Man?" Thursday: A man can, if he likes, always have a kindly feeling for his fellow-man. no matter w hat may be the provocation to the contrary. Friday: "This is My Commandment: that you love one another." Saturday: Even Bill Sykes was loved by Nancy—and by his dog: and to be loved with sincerity by one who knows us implies something in us that is lovable.
