ADOLF HITLER —ETHNOLOGIST AND HIS BUGABOO--THE JEWS

ECENTLY I have been reading a study of Herr Hitler's ideas on the Racial Question taken verbatim from his book Mein Kampf "My Battle," writes Father J. M. Gillis, C.S.P. Many of his statements automatically s uggest denial, and in the interests both of right reason and religion, I had a mind to make 'he denial in these columns.

Ti any more need be said, we may add that the culminating accomplishment of the Jewish race was the reproduction of the man Christ Who was the Incarnate God. No one who believes in Jesus Christ should ever permit himself to emulate the cheap ignorant demagogery of Adolf Hitler. For to tell the truth, what Hitler aims at in his repudiation of the Jews is to get rid of Christ. He, as well as Rosenberg, wants Wotan and Thor, blood-thirsty pagan (lemons, in place of the gentle Jesus.

Jfl EFECTIVE principles
in modern secular education are largely to blame in preparing the soil for Communism, declares the Rev. Dr. E A. Walsh, S.J., in the following address delivered at the last convention of the National Catholic Educational Association of America. Organised instruction, which is only an external mechanical apparatus for imparting knowledge, has tended to displace and overwhelm education, which is a vital process which takes place only within the mind. Because ot the lack of a solid substratum of philosophic promise the field has run riot. Education has become the victim of experitnentalism. The advances have been mainly in formal pedagogy which is only an instrument and a method, not and end in itself. Succumbing to the atmosphere of our over-mechanised civilisation, the aca-

Wool wears, shoddy Hence, when universities complain of the quality of the students that have overcrowded their lecture halls during the last decade, let them examine their own consciences along with the students' credits. In its eagerness to extend the methods of an industrialised and standardised civilisation, the machine mind went on and on. It seduced education from the production of leaders to leadership in production. Too often it transformed college presidents from scholars to harassed go-getters of the endowments which became indispensable for continued ex. istence in an age of mounting competition. It reduced deans from the high repute of friend and counsellor of youth to the status of referees of eligibility contests and overseers of elaborate tiling systems. It banished the minstrels and troubadours— I suppose under the vagrancy act—and substituted the scratchy whine of photographic discs and the howling of midnight radios. In a word, it promised a socially Iiygienic millenium—and sired the moral sterility of Bolshevism. Significant Heritage. If every historic movement in the progress of the race has, in its day and generation, left some lasting impression on humanity and contributed something to the direction of man's destiny, what significant heritage have we received from the enlightenment of the last 20 years. Communism. the spirit of organised international revolt and universal denial : Bolshevism which. I submit, is the chief progeny issuing from the supposedly hygienic union of rationalism and technology. Communism is the lustiest offspring of the modern mind. There it stands armed from head to foot, clad in shining armament supplied for profit by its predestined enemies. It is the true victor left after the hecatombs and shambles of 1914. International Communism is waiting in tense expectation today, hoping secretly, in its heart of hearts, that the nations will embark again on reciprocal homicide: for well its Jeaders know that another world war would hasten the end of Christian civilisation and usher in a return to the etlaics of the jungle. That will be Communism's appointed hour to foment domestic discontent and profit shrewdly from international jealousies. That will be its opportunity to strike a telling blow at Democracy, which it detests. Bolshevism is the logical culmination of that age-long wor-
ship of external form and of bare productivity which characterised the paganism of the Renaissance and the Industrial Revolution respectively. The prophets of the Russian Revolution gladly accepted the mechanisation of profitable industry, the exploitation of human personality, and the supremacy of a soulless machine which a reckless capitalism had taught them. They have simply developed the process to degrees of ruthlessness. tyrannous brutality. and obscene atheism that now appal the masters of the Manchester School. Catholic education, in fact. Christianity itself, stands face to face with this formidable antagonist who has mobilised all modern instrumentalities adapted to the conquest of the human intellect—press, stage. radio. literary organisation. political talent, skilled propaganda. science, art. diplomacy, commercial relations. All are serving an identical purbewildered the pose—to win minds of men to a new paganism and economic materialism. The conflict will not be limited to the obvious fields of politics and economics. It will he fought and is being fought in the schools. colleges and universities, where every historic heresy has been met by the contemporary intellect of Christian scholars across the ages. Catholic Education. The plain duty imposed on Catholic education arises in this day and generation from no physical attack on your person. your reality, or your rights. Hut you are challenged. distinctly challenged —prelate. priest and professor. The swift current of public events has presented., in specific form, a modern counterpart of those momentous conflicts of the past, this time in the shape of an imperative necessity for clear thinking, a non-partisan attitude in domestic politics, and courageous utterances respecting the current social problems which Communism has provoked. It is now stronger than ever, filtering into every walk of life, high and low. whispering, enticing, bribing and sabotaging. A wrong or hasty s olution might easily plunge religion and education. even Democracy itself, into the virtual slavery that oppresses them elsewhere. We have no divine guarantee c3f perpetual immunity against fundamental shock, no matter what the Bourbons of complaczncy may opine. An empty stomach has no ears. We have brought immunity thus far—and postponed the reckoning. The price is mounting every year. It is simply a race between the Treasury and disaster. Should the hour of decisive engagement come, the final conflict will be fought out between Communism and the Catholic Church defending the cause of Democracy.

Your position is well stated. It only remains for me to say that your enquiries are as welcome as those front any other listeners. You will readily acknowledge that the Church of God is built upon the faith that Christ is the Son of God, was crucified, rose again, and now reigns with God in majesty. 1 must differ from you immediately. I acknowledge that the faith von mention will be a necessary characteristic of the preaching of the true Church. 13ixt, if you ask upon what the Church is built. I must reply with St. Paul that it is built upon the foundation of the Apostles. _JCSUS Christ Himself being the chief corner FO., II., 20. stone.
Why Say St. Peter? Why do you make Peter the foundation? Because Christ Himself, the primary foundation, deigned to make the Apostles the secondary foundations of the visible Church, constituting St. Peter the chief amongst them, and the source of in the continued authority Church. On the strength of the words, "Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church," you accord Peter absolute soy. ereignty over the Church. Christ alone has absolute sovSt. ereignty over the Church. Peter had merely a delegated authority from Christ, and it was subject to conditiDns imposed by Christ. St. Peter could not change the faith taught by Christ, he could do had he absolute s overeignty. Had he that, he could teach what he pleased. But no. He had to teach what Christ declared. Therefore I do not accord St. Peter absolute sovereignty. But I do say that the fulness of Christ's authority within the limits imposed by Christ was so given to him that all others in the Church were still more secondary in relation to St. Peter. Could you imagine Our Lord building His Church on a mere man, no matter how good he was? There is no room for imagining what Christ would do, or would not do, when we know w hat He did do. And He said to Simon, "Thou art a rock, and upon this rock I will build my Church." * * * *

Discussing My Conversion
"Retired Nurse," N.S.W.:
Springwood,
You are very patient and forbearing in reply to attacks on your own change of religion. I realise that, although I am convinced that I abandoned error for truth, those who have not that conviction will necessarily fail to view my action with sympathy. They will attribute it either to mental deficiencl• or to bad will. Though they ought to suspect that T have perceived reasons to which the - have not adverted, vet I do not blame them for the very human failing of judging all things according to their own personal outlook. I do not think anyone has the right to speak of a matter which lies between your own soul and your Master. It is, ot course, my own personal responsibility, and does not really concern others. But if people are concerned and worried enough to ask me to explain why I took such a step, oz to justify it, I try to relieve them of their anxiety. At least my replies should convince them that I did not become a Catholic without giving due thought to the matter, and that I am not unhappy in the choice I have made
Authority in the Church However your reply to "Dinkum-Coogee" filled my heart with resentment. I, the last thing I would wish to My real purpose is to fill the min.i with knowledge. Those who are not Catholics should nizt be surprised that Catholic principles may not always square with their own. And I do not think any resentment because they do not is really justified. Is the Church of Rome so arrogant t hat it dares to challenge the sacred promise of the Saviour Himself? ie Church of Rome is not arrogant. It fundamental spirit is one of humility and charity. And it certainly c ha:ienges no promise of our Saviour. But it does ask people to be sure that what they think to be a promise of Christ is really in accordance with sOssr He intended. Christ said, "Where two or three are gathered together in my name,I will grant their requests. On the occasion when Christ made that promise, He was speaking of the authority to be exercised by the officials in His Church. His words have not the universal application you think. St. Matt., xviii., 17. gives us His words, "Tell the Church, and if a man will not hear the Church, let him be to thee as apf_ the heathen," To explain why the Church should be in control, He said to the Apostles, His chosen ones, " Whatsoever you shall bind upon earth that: be bound also in heaven.- And then, to confirm this legislative authority. He said to them, "If two of you shall consent upon earth concerning anything whatsoever they shall ask. :t shall be done to them by my Father w ho is in heaven. For where there are two or three gathere -I together in my name, there am I in the midst of t hem.By these words Jesus meant t hat the authority vestosl in the officials Of the Church is His autherity. What the Church grants, He ,'ants: and what the Church rorbids, He for. bids If you will not admit that the W ords apply to lawfal Church authorities. hut wish to extend it to all who profess to meet in the name of Christ, will have Him sanctioning with 1-TiF. authority a host of contradictor" decisions according to the whims and .fancies of all types of deluded and ill. informed people. •

Protestant Freedom
Love---The Law For All
"Our Ministers Trust Us"
I am afraid the Church of Rome has so many man-made rules of "Thou shalt not," that it has overlooked the higher command of our Saviour, "Love ye one another." Love for people of other religions does not exclude the acknowisass of the authority in one's own Church, and obedience to it. In fact, the very love of Christ which bids me love others, also bids me love His own authority in the Catholic Church and keep its laws. You, of course, do not see that the authority of the Catholic Church is really that of Christ, granted by delegation. But if you know that Catholics take that view, you should not blame them for fidelity to the laws of their Church. And you should not blame the Church for making laws to safeguard the religion of Christ and her own subjects in its profession and practice. Nowhere in the Holy Book do I find any hard and fast rule that one must be a Catholic to partake of God's promise and mercy. The words of Our Lord, 'If a man will not hear the Church. let him be as the heathen" seems to be a pretty hard and fast rule. And once one arrives at the convicticai that it is the Catholic Church of which Our Lord was speaking, it is obviously necessary for him to become a Catholic. If, through no fault of his own, one fails to perceive that the Catholic Church is the true Church, God will overlook his mistake, and grant him grace and But that mercy if he has goodwill. does not mean that those who do know the truth may behave as those who do not know it.
Our ministers do not forbid us to meet f ellow Christians. They trust us. The Catholic Chorch does not for bid Catholics to meet people of other religions. It forbids them to engage in their religious worship with them. f t is not a question of not trusting them. It is a question of vindicating the right of Jesus Christ to be won shipped only in accordance with the rules of the Church He established. Those who stray through association with other religions, do so because they do not truly belong to the Faith and Love for the Master. If a person loses the Faith, it is no argument that he never had it. The Epistle to the Hebrews, VI.. 4, says, "It is impossible for those who were once illuminated. and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, and have fallen away, to be renewed again to Obviously, therefore, peopenance.ple who have had the faith can lose it. And, on your own admission, it is possible to stray through association with other religions. This being so, a Church neglects its duty which does not warn against such a danger and try to exclude it by prohibition. He is not much of a shepherd, who sees his sheep running the risk of going astray, yet does nothing to prevent it. You should admire the Catholic Church for doing her duty rather than object to her efforts to preserve her subjects from the corruption or the loss of their faith.

Are Churches Necessary? Love is the law and lsove for the Master stands steadfast through good and ill. That is true, so long as love remains love. But love can grow cold, and die away. Your whole letter is based on the idea that churches do not matter, so long as one loves Christ.

But if "Church- does not matter, why did the Protestants set up new churches at all The old one w ould have been good enough and a:1 they had to do was to love Our Lord, remaining Catholics. The only justification for the new Protestant Churches is the idea that Churches do matter.

I plead only for fairness towards Catholic practice. You are so good and sincere that you would not he consciously unfair. It is simply that you have not adverted fully to the position, But I hope I have helped you to see the Catholic viewpoint, and that you will cease to resent it.
Language of the Mass R. W., Wangaratta—Victoria: Why is Mass recited in Latin, and not in the common tongue? In order to have a common language for all Priests of the Western Church, no matter from what nation they may be drawn, so that the central act of Catholic worship may he ever the same. The laity of the various countries have the translation of the Mass in their own languages, and their prayer-books enable them to follow the Mass without difficulty I believe that in Palestine the Mass is said in the common language. There are Churches of both the Western and Eastern rites in Palestine. In churches of the Western rite, Mass is said in Latin. even in Palestine. In churches of the Eastern rites, Mass is said in various Eastern languages. Usually these are ancient forms which present-day members no more understand than they would Latin. For example, the Greek Melchite Church, which is in union with Rome, uses the Arabic language in the Mass. The language in which Mass is said is not addressed to the people: it is a sacrifice offered to God. And God understands all forms of human speech. It is for wise reasons, however, that the Western Church has re. tained Latin as its lituraical language.
Latin and the Reformation Is it true that one of the reasons why the Church of England digressed was because the Church of Rome refused to recite the !;ervice in the common tongue. No. When Henry VIII. broke away from Rome, and set up the new "Church of England," there was no talk of replacing Latin by English. Later on, when Protestant ideas became current, the whole character of religious worship was changed. The Mass and the Catholic idea of the priesthood were abolished. The thought of a minister of religion turning his back on the people, and ad. dressing himself to God by the offering of sacrifice was rejected. The Minister was ordered to face the people and adjust the service to them. The Ministry of '1:caching supolanted the Mimi istrY of sacrifice. And as the congregation became all important, the laresuage used in all services was adapted to the requirements of the people. In the Catholic Church. such sections of the services as are directly addressed to the people are given in the la: guages of the respective countries.

W ith regard to the formal requirements of the sonnet, we must remember that beyond the limitation to fourteen lines and the single motive, there are many and varied types.

N many modern poems, I have noted a great defect, the unpardonable defect which I may call pseudo-mystery. Now the making of any idea mysterious by mere artifice, even though it be poetic artifice, I think is a most hateful thing. Our minds are searching for light, not darkness. They take no pleasure in the cultivated obscurities of opaque versifiers. These poets, of course, see, or claim to see, no difference between their own cloudy imagism and the noble quality of true mystery resident in the great poems of the past. But there is a difference.

Before a poet writes his poem he is understood to have experienced what we call "an inspiration." Gifted with a sensitive nature and a susceptibility to intense emotional realisations of things, he sees with his inner eye a truth more profoundly and more intimately than the common run of men. The clarity of the truth he beholds gives him joy. It makes him want to reveal that joy to others. For joy is the one thing which the human spirit cannot contain alone. It must share it. And all art is a revelation.

It is true that in the hands of an expert even artifiical inspration of this kind can be skilfully managed. But the obscurity remains because the poet has no original vision to guide him. There is no mistaking true mystery and false mystery behind the writing of a poem. The one effects a shadow, the other a mere blur. Let us look at the first eight lines of George O'Neill's charming poem "The 'White Rooster": Ah, God! To have a breast like that To throw at day, Thrust for the hands of dawn To quiver and flare upon. A nd a hook of gold to end you, And a bloody flag sewn in head, And all yourself an arch, And your soul a white cascad,.:.
To find out whether this excellent bit of imagism is the result of an obscure or a clear vision of a white rooster let us interrogate ourselves about it. Let me interrogate myself : Q. Would I like to have a breast like a white rooster to throw at day? A. I certainly would not. Q. But suppose it were "thrust for the hands of dawn to quiver and flare upon.?" A. That wouldn't change matters ill the least. I have not the slightest desire to be either a flaring rooster or any other kind of rooster.

The Aboriginal Problem. Natives on Stations "USEFUL
I
ANIMALS"
V.
Newman Society On Wednesday, September 2, at 8 p.m., the Newman Society is holding an open forum in the Students' Refectory, The University. The discussion will be opened by Mr. Michael Tormey, with a paper on "What is to be done for the boys and girls on leaving school?" The leakage question is occupying the serious attention of Catholic leaders and their Bishops in England and in U.S.A. That it is a problem there is also apparent. To have held our boys and girls throughout their school days, and then to lose them is a tragedy. Are we doing anything for them? Can we do anything? That we should strive to do something seems an urgent necessity.

Popuhae or Perish
T
HE speech of the Federal Attorney -General 01r. R. G. Menzies) in Melbourne last week, has been received in Australia and England with somewhat mixed feelings. A vigorous migration policy oil Australia's part would, of course, be w elcomed in London, as going.a long way towards the solution of English problems of unemph)yment and over-crowding in the cities. There is no unaaimitN-, however, in our national outlook, which is. after all, the nits t important matter. Several previous m igration schemes were certainly ill-considered and had results such as to cause further migration suggestions to he received with extreme caution, if not with suspicion. It is also xvorthy of note that the population problem is studiously avoided until the prospect of war becomes imminent. Australians would surely like to see their political leaders actuated by motives somewhat more noble and far-seeing than the primitive one of self-preservation. However, the matter of defence is obviously one which should be faced, and since it immediately gives rise to the further question of population, the plain inference is that it would be tantamount to national suicide if we are going to resume immigration and fill our cities with migrants. From the defence point of view alone large urban centres are sheer folly. But es-en apart from it, the present reactions of industrialism on human welfare as a whole, and the undeveloped condition of huge agricultural areas, emphasise that we do not want Australia to become a dumping ground for large numbers of migrants from British industrial centres. Nor does the policy of settling Welsh miners on small dairy holdings commend itself to right reason. If immigration is resumed, let it be of an agricultural class of some independence, not merely farm labourers in destitution, who would soon become the stewards of a bank. For, if history has any practical value, it is that politicians should profit by the mistakes of the past. Nobody, however, ought to pretend that immigration is a simple and clear-cut issue. It is a complex matter of great national moment. Hence, apart altogether from considerations of political expediency and imperialist sentiment, extreme care should be exercised over the type of immigrant admitted to Australia. Migration, too, should be regulated with due reference to the position of Australian unemployment figures. for if we cannot adequately provide economically for our own, the prospects for our adopted brethren are precarious. It is admittedly difficult to understand why our cities should be packed with clerks, employed and unemployed, while there might be a large sturdy and independent rural population. National prosperity has ever depended upon a balance between urban and rural populations. But if our own people cannot, or will not, develop the country there appears no alternative but to open our doors to those who vil1. Still the problem of economic liberty remains unsolved, unless something is done towards making the primary producer, whether local or imported, his own master. * • All too rare,. however, in discussions on immigration is the consideration of what factors militate against the increase of the indigenous population. There is no dispute but that the best of all possible immigrants is the Australian baby. But the rate of natural increase has been alarmingly arrested. The Australian birth rate in the middle of the last century was about 45 per thou. sand per annum of the population. Pre-war figures • showed about 27 per 1,000. To-day is is about 17 per 1,000, far below Egypt, Russia and Japan. Even considering that the rate of infant mortality has been nearly halved, the rate of natural increase is only about one-third of what it was sixty odd years ago. It appears that our young country is well on the way to national extinction. Birth-control is the great public enemy, but our Governments are doing nothing to prevent its propaganda or to ban the advertisement, display and sale of contraceptives. With a high rate of increase, most of our population difficulties could be solved in the next 20 years. As it is, we are a dwindling nation. and others must do for us what we could well have done ourselNTS. The issue is clear. Populate or perish!

But what demand was ever created by the man who sells matches in the gutter? His failure and the obvious signs of that failure in his face and person, are proof enough that his complete elimination is only a matter of time. He is a living testimony to the truth of the great nineteenth century theory of progress. The Big Shop. Street-hawkers and small shopkeepers fall more and more behind the latest ideas of what should be the relation ,between customer and assistant. A big shop to-day is a smoothly-running machine. The assistants are chosen for their cheerfulness, their smart appearance, their accent, and they serve their customers in a setting as costly as, and not less artistic than that of the lounge of a luxury-liner. This atmosphere of \veil-being overcomes what is termed sales:resistance; that is, it makes people buy things they do not need, or even want. And this is good for business, for it shows how eager the directors are to serve their public. The small shopkeeper, through his backwardness and lack of initiative has to serve his customers in a shop that looks too much like a shop. The relationship is too personal. You may find yourself being served by the owner of the shop, who will waste time in idle chatter, and even send you on to a friend who sells something he himself does not keep. • As for the street -hawker, the shabbiness of his clothes and the lack of sprightliness in his manner explain why he is- where he is. He is outside the framework of the economic life of the t wentieth century. and in moving him on or locking him up, the policeman is only the unconscious instrument of the great Darwinian thesis. Place him side by side with Lord , or Sir , and then ask yourself which is the better equipped to survive in a world in which the race is to he the smartest. Nobility of Business. But let us glance at the moral aspect of the question. I have spoken of those ideals of service which lift big business from an occupation to a religion, and make of what might be mere m onev-grubbing a chivalrous thought for the needs of others. Will anyone claim that any such dream inspires the street-hawker? Is there not, behind his ingratiating manner, a mere greed of gain ? Does he not thrust his matches, his studs, or his hoot• laces at you as though he were c onferring a favour on you? I would maintain that his barely -veiled eagerness for your money makes a mockery of all business ideals, and it is for that reason, and not because he is a rival to any big firm, that so many look askance at him. Free and unrestricted competition should be the jealously guarded reward of those who have the money to play the game. RULES OF MULTIPLICATION.

A bright scene was witnessed at Government house Barirciom on Thursday night, 20th. inst., when the twenty-fourth annual ball conducted by the Christian Brothers' College took place. There was a large attendance, many of whom were students from the college chaperoned by their mothers or sisters. Many novelties, including paper caps and streamers, were introduced during the evening for the young folk, and, at intervals, novelty dances and barn dances were enjoyed by everyone present. A sit-dlown supper was served on tables decorated with roses, Iceland poppies and Geraldton wax plant, and Molly Wagner and her orchestra supplied the music. The committee responsible for the success of the arrangements was headed by Mr. T. Ahern (president), with Messrs. L. Ryan and S. Hoad (joint honorary secretaries), and Mesdames T.

Father Dom William, 0.S.B., has been making important historical researches bearing upon the life of the late Bishop Salvado. Through the kindness of His Grace Archbishop Prendiyille, of Mr. Bray, the President of the Historical Society. and of Dr. Battye, Librarian of the Perth Public Library, he has been given access to important original documents. Dr. Battye alone favoured him with 73 autograph letters of Bishop Salvado to the late Mr. G. ShenHe also interviewed at tOn. Fremantle Mr. F. Samson, grandchild to Mr. L. Samson, the gentleman who became the chief patron of Bishop Salyado's piano concert in Perth in May, 1846. From him he obtained some very important oral evidence concerning that concert. While at Fremantle. . Dorn William received a letter frimi a priest - friAld in Spain. pointing to the Spanish Government being sold in soul and body to Russia. The letter is dated July 8. 1936. and says,
T HE LATE BISHOP SALVADo.
inter alia : "During the last five m onths that the present advanced Leftist Government has been in power. 300 buildings, mainly c hurches and convents, have been burnt down. • Now the Government is waging war .against. the Sisters of Charity. Such an implacable example of religious persecution will he hard to find in the annals of Spanish history. Word, however, has been received from Russia to the effect that the work of destruction is not to be rushed on. It must be done s tep by step .one convent to-day, one church to-morrow, and so on, until the whole country, including the magistrature and the army, is in the hands of the Communists. A Government inspector to our college ordered a picture of the Republic to. be place in the main school room of the c ollege. Thank Heaven that he did not order the college to be c losed down, as we all expected." Dom William is leaving Fremantle for the Monastory at New Norcia next Tuesday. • Mr. B. S.

His Grace said Mass for the residents of Baker's Hill and Clackline at the Clackline Hall on Saturday, August 15, and for those of Jennacubbine and Wonganaine at St. Isidore's Church, Jennacubbine, on August 16.

His Grace presided at the 11 o'clock Mass in Toodyay on Sunday last, the At church being filled to capacity. the evening devotions about 30 candidates were Confirmed. His Grace spoke feelingly to the children concerning the Sacrament administered, and reminded the parents of their grave obligation of good example. Convent Ball. Only two brief remarks are necessary in connection with the 1936 Convent Ball: (a) The date is September 4, with the children's ball on September 5: (b) Jimmy Griffin will supply the music. Mr. J.

They were afterwards entertained to breakfast by the Sisters, Rev. Father McEncroe, M.S.C., is at present in Wagin on a visit to his sis. ter, Mrs. B. Luscombe.

However, we are glad to state that she is progressing favourably at t he Eastern District Hospital.

Another tournament will begin immedi. ately and it is hoped that the parishioners will attend in greater and still greater numbers. Work is well under way for the bazaar, to be held at the- end of September. Let us hope that it will be at least up to the standard of other years. Dumbleyung has set us an example how to work for a bazaar, and it looks as if that centre will this year exceed its wonderful success of last year.

Judging from donations coming in towards the choir- gallery, dedicated to the memory of the late Father Morris, we are of opinion that very soon it will be oversubscribed. May such a grand spirit of Catholic Action last. Ad multos annos.

The outlook at pre. -cent does not look particularly bright. Congratulations to Father Reidy for annexing the Northam Golf Championship for the second year in succession. This year the opposition was of a higher standard, and it was a great performance to finish one up after being five down at the first hole of the second eighteen. The Spring Ball Committee would like to thank through these columns all those who contributed to the success of the ball. In particular do they wish to thank the Archbishop for his presence and kindly interest.

THE RECORD.
MY CORNEKITES,— A goodly part of this month of August has slipped by without me drawing your attention to its spiritual import, and though no word I .can say about Our Blessed Lady is of much worth, I du not like to lose one opportunity of bringing Her before your minds. One does not have to be very well up in their knowledge of human nature to find that an inherent part of it is the natural ease with which it delights to praise the one who brought it into life, and if we have patience even with seemingly unapproachable kind of people, we can generally succeed in making them thaw if we get them talking of their mother. So, too, it should be with every Catholic, and so, thank God, it is, for judging others by myself, I feel that we can never talk about Her, or read about Her, or listen to someone else speaking about Her, without our hearts growing more enthusiastic and more ten deny inclined towards that incomparable Lady.
Love's purest best and as true as steel, but for one reason or another the mutability of Life takes them one by one, and unless we learn to go to Our Lord and Our Lady there will always be loneliness, and a cynical kind of selfpity arising from the despondent conviction that all men and even God Himself have played us false. Our Lady does not always answer my prayers. I have had to say a Memorare every morning for fifteen years for one special favour. but She has granted it so sweetly and so cornpletel.• that I am prepared in future to wait Her pleasure and trust in Her for all things. This month of August is devoted specially to Her Immaculate Heart and I am thinking of a hymn that says: "0 Mary's Heart, Her Immaculate Heart, The Heart of Our Saviour's Mother, 'Twill show us at last when our life is past, Our Merciful God as our Brother." And so may it be for all Our Blessed Lady's faithful children. AUNT BESSY.

Enter St. Philomena. Dear Aunt Bessy,--I heard about the Bushies' Scheme and thought I would like to help in some way, so I am sending this statue of St. Philo mena the wonder-worker. You can dispose of it in any way you please, by raffle or anything you think suitable. I ask a remembrance in your prayers for a particular intention (September October). A .C'LIENT OF ST. PHILOMENA. Dear Client of St. Philomena,— Thank you for your beautiful gift! It arrived intact on 'the saint's feast-day. and if she helps to bring me in "A Fiver" without me having to give anyone a hint for it between this and August 31, then we will raffle the statue for our Bushies and I will finance her position in the Litany of the Blessed with the proceeds—don't you think that', fair enough even for so fair a saint If she doesn't bring in the Fiver then we'll see what we'll do with her. I am most grateful for the sweetness of this surprise and in return assure you of a special memento for the intention you are askingAUNT BESSY. Nfundaring. Dear Aunt Bessy,--I thought not to let your 5th. Birthday pass without a weeny gift, and so decided to send A penny stamp; then something whispered "Meanie!"

DIMPLES. Dear Dimples.- • Thanks to those who did not wait for others to give their penny, Mary and Sandy are both victorious in their efforts to raise their Fivers, and I am worried to know what to do with their overplus. Thank you for your unfailing loyalty to every venture we make for the Cause, AUNT BESSY. Kalgoorlie. Dear Aunt Bessy,—Please find enclosed the sum of 2/6 for favours received through the Little Flower. I do pray that You will reach your Objective. and thus surpass that of other years. LAURENCE SCOTT. Dear Mr. Scott,—Judging by your writing I presume you are due for the grown-up prefix before your name?

However, 'tis said somewhere "if you don't speculate you won't accumulate." We still need more rain to soften the land for next year's seeding.

Kings Taxed Households for Collection of "Romepenny"

ANY people think that the annual tribute of Peter's Pence to the Holy See began with the fall of the temporal power of the Papacy in 1 870. Actually the custom originated in England in pre-Norman days. The names of three AngloSaxon kings, each in his respective king-di on, are associated with t his annual levy—Ina. King of Wessex (689-726), Offa II., Kin°. o f NI ereia 1794). and King Etherf in 853.

He prayed in the Church of the Copts, and then went to see the place of worship maintained by the Catholic Copts, which proved to be a poor, insignificant chapel. The Catholic Copts are that section of the .Abvssinians who have been reconciled to Rome and are in communion with the The hulk of the Copts Pope.

"If I were free to do so." the . Prince said, "T would buy a site • and build a church for the Abyssinian Coptic Catholics." His sympathies with Catholicism probably were not regarded with favour by some strong parties in the kingdom. "However," the Prince said, "if Your Holiness will accept the site. I will buy it and present it, and others can build the church." Ras Tafari This was done. close to of land piece a bought

the unification of the ,maller kingdoms, the levy of Peter's Pence became general over the whole country. The conquering Danes c(nitinued the custom to the time of Harold II., the last of their dynasty. 'The Normans kept up the traditional tribute, though it is recorded that Edward ITT. tried to suppress it in 1365. Abolished Under Henry VIII. Eventually the levy was abolished entirely by Act of.
