Beliefs Allowed by the Church Was It Wise of God? • .Alpha,'' Sydney: One understands that the Catholic Church allows a sort of tentative belief in the theory of evolution. Is this a fact? The Catholic Church claims no right to dictate to men what they must hold in any matters of purely natural and scientific import, and which do not conflict with the revelation given by God as to what we must believe and do in order to please Him. And, as not a single truth discerned from the study of God's works will ever conflict with any supernatural truth revealed by Him, men are perfectly free to hold whatever can he scientifically demonstrated. As regards evolution, men may, and should, reasonably accept such mitigated forms of evolution as have been proved. Plausible theories which go further than the actual evidence available they may accept if they wish, provided they do not go so far that their theory excludes a doctrine revealed by God. I hope that statement of the position is clear to you
• • • The "Catholic Evolutionist"
If so, would a Catholic evolutionist believe that mankind had evolved sloway from the lowest forms of life, to be endowed with a soul after a painful progression upwards, on the entry of Adam and Eve into Eden?
Would it not have ,been wiser for God, according to the Catholic concept of e volution, to have withheld the gift of a rational soul until man was more secure?
R UMBLEms, The fall was not necessary for the giving of a revelation to men. And in any case, such revelation as God does give is not to His advantage, but to our advantage.

If he ceases his dishonest practices, and promises to make re. stitution• you may omit to mention the matter out of charity to your fellow employee. But if he ignores your protest and continues to rob the firm, your obligation to the firm outweighs any obligation of friendship towards the thief. s:: : nr al!ow thy robber to , lo. a sin on your part, it wo,ild be a sin against charity to your employer if you were but a fellow worker and not officially in charge of the materials, time, or wages. If you were officially in charge of the materials, time, or wages, silence would be a sin not only against charity, but against justice.

"The Purgatory Doctrine" Dubbo Enquirer. N.S.W. : Would you quote the Scripture that gives you authority to teach the Purgatory doctrine? 15, tells us that if a man's 1. Cor., life-work will not stand the test when he goes to hits judgment, "he himself ,4hall be saved, but so as by fire." But, apart from that express reference. Our Lord's commission to the Catholic Church, "Go, teach all nations what. soever I have commanded you," and His promise to he with her all days even to the end of the world, is more than enough authority for teaching whatever the Church does teach in the name of Christ. Is it a fact that, although the priests preach Purgatory, most of them don't believe in it when asked to substantiate their teaching? No. Is it a fact that Catholics in general are so bad that Purgatory was invented by the Pope to keep them within bounds? Purgatory wasn't invented by the Nor would the invention of Pope. Purgatory have improved upon the doctrine of Hell as a deterrent from had conduct, were Catholics in general as evil as you suggest.

TEXT OF "DE VIGILANTI CURA" s
New Papal Encyclical on Motion Pictures PRACTICAL. MEASURES OUTLINED BY HOLY FATHER We reprint below the full text of the Encyclical Letter by His Holiness Pope Pius XI. on Clean Motion Pictures, in which the Holy Father stresses the need for vigilance among the clergy and laity, and outlines a scheme by which Catholics, acting in co-operation with the Hierarchy, can improve the moral tone of the film industry.

The Bishops of the whole world will take care to make clear to leaders of the motion picture industry that ren of the "riiterl States. will be able the force of such a power of universalits- as the cinema can be directed with great utility to the highest ends of individual and social improvement. Why, indeed, should there be a question of merely avoiding evil? Why should the motion picture simply be a meaans of diversion and light relaxation to occupy an idle hour? With its magnificent power, it can and must be a light and a positive guide to what is good. And now, in view of the gravity of the subject, we consider it timely to come down to certain practical indications. Above all, all pastors of soul, will undertake to obtain each Year from their people a pledge similar to the one alrearle alluded to which was given by their American brothers, in which they Promised to stay away from motion picture plays which were ot-Ten5:.ivp

The most efficacious manner of obtaining these pledges promises to be through the parish church or school, by enlisting the earnest co-operation of all fathers and mothers of families who are conscious of their grave responsiClassified Lists. The Bishops will also be able to avail themselves of the Catholic Press for the purpose of brifiging home to the people the moral duty and effectiveness of this promise. The fulfilment of this pledge supposes that the people will be made clearly aware of which films are permitted to ;IL which are perrretted reservations and which are harmful or positively had. This requires prompt, regular and frequent publication of classified lists of motion picture plays sci as to make the information readily accessible to all. Special iailletin, or other timely publicatioos such as the daily Catholic Press may he used for this purpose. Were it possible, it would in itself be desirable to establirh a single list for the entire world, because all live under the same moral laws. Since, however- there is here a question of pictures which interest all classes of society, the great and humble, the learned and unlettered, the judgment passed upon the film cannot he the same in each case in all respects, Indeed circumstances, usages and forms vary from country to country. so it does not seem practicable to have a single list for all the world. If. however, films were classified in each country in the manner indicated above, thc resultant list would offer in principle the guidance needed. Therefore, it will be necessary that in each country the Bishons set up a permanent national ro,-iewinv offioe in order to be alA to proreote me tion pictures, classify others and hrimthis judgment to the 1.-rowledze th.• priests and the faithfu l It will b very proper to entrust this agency

the central organisation of Catholic Action which is dependent on the Bis. hops. At all events, it must clearly be laid down that this service of information, in order to function organically and with efficiency, must be on a national basis, that is, it must be carried on by a single central responsibility-. Diocesan Standards. Should grave reasons really require it, their Excellencies the Bishops, in their own dioceses through their diocesan reviewing committees will be able to apply to a national list—which must use standards adaptable to the whole nation—such severer criterions as may be demanded by the character of the region. They may even censor films which are admitted to the general list. The above-mentioned office likewise will look after the organisation of the existing motion picture theatres belonging to parish Catholic as!zo7i:r1i-ns. so that they may be guarante;e: viewed approval of films, Through t he organisation of these halls, which often represent a considerable clientele for the industry, it will be possible to advance a new demand, namely, that the industry produce motion pictures which correspond entirely to our principles. Such films then may readily be shown .not only in Catholic halls, hut also in others. We realise the establishment of such an office will involve a certain sacrifice, a certain expense for Catholics of the various countries. Yet the great importance of the motion picture, the necessity of safeguarding the morality of Christian people and of the entire nation, make this sacrifice more than justified. Indeed• the effectiveness of our schools, of our Catholic Associations and even of our churches is lessened and endangered by the plague of evil and pernicious motion pictures. I nternational Exchange. The office force must be composed of persons who are familiar with the technique of the motion picture and who at the same time are well-groun ded in the principles of Catholic morality and doctrines. They must, in addition, be under the guidance and direct supervision of a priest chosen bw the Bishop. Opportune understandings for the e xchange of that information officers of the various countriesamong will conduce to greater efficiency and harmony in the work of reviewing films, while due consideration will be given to varying conditions and circumstances, It will thus be possible to ac. hieve unity of— outlook in the judgments and communications appearing in the Catholic Press of the world. These offices will profit, not only by the experiments made in the United states. but also by the accomplishments of Catholics of other countries in the motion picture field. Even if employees of the office -with the best goodwill and intentions— should make an occasional mistake, as happens in all human affairs, the Bishops in their pastoral prudence will know how to apply effective remedies to safeguard jti every po,:::hle way I'authority and prestige ( f the office itself. This may be done by strengthening the staff with more influential men or by replacing those who have shown themselves less capable of performing their delicate duties. The World's Bishops. If tilt- Bishops of the world assume their share in the exercise of this painstaking vigilance over the motion picture—and of this We, who know their pastoral zeal, have no doubt they will certainly accomplish a great work for the protection of the morality of their people during their moments of leisure and recreation. They will win the approbation and approval of all r ight-thinking men. Catholic and nonCatholic, and they will help assure that this great international force—the motion picture --shall he directed toward the noble end of promoting the highest ideals and the treest standard of life.

The
Crime
Wave
Archbishop Kelly's Striking Analysis
Leon Blum, leader of the French Socialists, now in command of the Republic, is an Alsatian Jew, the son of a wealthy family. His first wife left him a considerable fortune in addition to that which came from his parents. He delights in profound philosophical study, and as a youth wrote a book favouring free love, "About Marriage," now long out of print. It is being asked whether he is doomed to be the Kerensky of a new revolution in France. He has the support of the Communists, but they are working along their uwn lines, organising all over the country to try to force their ideas through. He has been compelled to shape his cabinet largely from non-Socialists and is sure to face conflicting obligations and efforts. It is almost certain that he will eventually fail, for the economic structure he must uphold is outworn and badly in need of repairs The U.S.S.R. does not want a revolution in France at this time, because it does not know what Hitler would do in the circumstances. It is admitted that the strongest force likely to keep Blum in power is fear. While the connection between Socialist politics and antireligious persecution has been close for many years. there is little ground for anxiety under the rule of Blum in France, unless conditions 'should rapidly change. The general elections did not give a clear majority to any party. If the Socialists, the Radicals and the Comunists were to stick closely together, there would he danger, hut their "Popular Front" that won the election was perhaps little more than an electioneering expedient. Say— "I saw your advertisement in "The Record."
The official figures published by "Truth," proving an appalling rising tide of crime and violence, moved that well-known Anglican minister, Canon Hammond, to send the article, accompanied by a questionnaire, to a number of eminent citizens, and some of the replies throw an interesting light on a very disturbing situation. ,Among them none is calculated to attract more attention than that of His Grace the Most Rey. .Dr. Kelly. Archbishop of Sydney. who writes as follows:— To yout numbered queries relating to "The Alarming Crime Wave" set forward by statistics of police courts in "Truth," the following notes are submitted by way of answer: 9uestion 1 : To what do you attribute the alarming increase in crime and drunkenness? A nswer: To individual neglect of prayer, and to frequentation of occasions of sin, together with natural propensities to the passions, both irascible and concupiscible. hardness of heart foil lows, and we drink iniquity like The postwater when athirst. war circumstances aggravate disorder everywhere. Ouestion 2: Whom do you t hink are more to blame? A nswer: The blameable factors are: (a) Parental default in good example, instruction and salutary correction; (b) All who are responsible for failure of preservative and improving organisations for youth and for adults in the respective localities; (c) Politicians and editors of newspapers who support the penalisation of citizens who in conscience can not dispense with religious teach' ing and training in primary schools. N.B.: The police limit interference to the detection of deliberate law-breakers.

Priest Supports Spanish Government? Recent cable news from Spain tells of a priest, Father Garcia Morales, who broadcasts from Madrid in support of the Government's forces. He is reported as having said: "I hate the hierarchy who are supporting those who have brought back the Moors who were expelled from Spain only after eight centuries of warfare." It is impossible to verify the facts in this story. The "priest" may happen .to be, as in the case o f so many Spanish "nuns," newspaper myth, or a Communistic creation at Madrid. For priest he begins most unpriestly, by hating the hierarchy, and as a patriot he shows little discernment in preferring the diabolical savagery of the imported apostles of Marx and Bela Run to the comparatively pacifist and harmless influence of the Moorish soldiers, who are, at least, trained and disciplined. To suggest any further Cl 1111111 en t . ue the ne ws item might be unfortunate, for as is already pointed out, the priest may not exist, and in accepting his existence, an injustice max' be done to that grand body of Spanish priests N'ho are sealing with their life's blood the Faith they hold i dear.

For some months past there was considerable speculation in the College as to whether it would be possible for a party of the pupils to make an educational tour of Perth during the August vacation.

On Saturday afternon, despite the t orrents of rain that were falling, many of. the boys availed of the W.A. Football League's invitation to be present at the football fixtures during that afternoon. On account of the continued wet weather no definite function took place on Sunday. Many of the boys, after Mass, were entertained by their hosts and hostesses with motor trips to nearby points of interest. Opportunity was taken by many of visiting the beautiful St. Mary's Cathedral and in the afternoon quite' a nuniber ed the Zoo. On Monday the party assembled at the G.P.O. at 10 a.m. A tram was taken to the Royal Mint. The boys w ere interested in the number of ingots of gold being prepared for shipment overseas. It was quite a thrill for each boy to handle an ingot valued at .I.,1,5(X) in Australian currency. Altogether the total value of the gold seen was about £400,000. This view of the Royal Mint was most instructive and was arranged by Mr. Rogers, to whom we extend our thanks and appreciation. A tram was now taken to the Observatory. Here the part was met by Mr. Curlewis, who conducted the tour through the Observatory and explained the various instruments and their uses. An observation of the Sun through the big telescope revealed four large sun-spots. The boys were interested in the seismopragh and viewed the recordings of previous earthquakes and learnt the significance of primary, 5econdary and return shocks. This visit to the Observatory was of great educational value am: our thanks are hereby recorded to Messrs. Curlewis and Yates for their painstaking efforts to explain everything to us. After lunch the party moved to the Perth Oval to play what proved to be the only football match of the tour—a game against the senior XVIII. of the Perth Boys' School. The match was a good one, both sides playing sound football. The local bus were able to cope with the wet conditions of the ground better than the visitors, and ran out victors by 9 goals 6 behinds to 4 goals 4 behinds.

Newspapers Ltd., to view the printing of the "West Australian" and the "Western Mail." Under the care of a guide provided by the management the boys were shown the various activities incident on the production of a newspaper. All were amazed at the speed with which the work was done. The boys saw the **Broadcaster" and the "Western Mail" being run through the machines. After this visit the party was entertained at supper by the manager of the Lat tice Cafe. To the management of the Capitol Theatre, to the management of the WA. Newspapers. Ltd., and to the ,manager of the Lattice Cafe our t hanks are hereby rendered for a most enjoyable and instructive evening. On Thursday the boys were conveyed to Yanchep Caves. A start was made from the G.P.O. at 10.30 a m. The caves were reached about 11.30 a.m. The caretaker granted permission ,for the boys to swim in the Crystal Baths. This permit was gladly availed of. A sumptuous lunch. then a delightful trip through the Crystal Cave was made, under the guidance of Mr. Delahunty, who was most painstaking that the party would see the many grand spectacles that unfol,' themselves in the Crystal Caw. A pleasant hour was then spent on Lake Ness in the boats. This trip Iva.sponsored by Sir Thomas Molloy, K.S.G.. to whom we are deeply gratefill.

A t night many of the party visited the Premier Theatre, East Perth, where they were the guests of Mr. C yril Norton at a picture programme which was much appreciated and for which all were grateful.
A very mean firm had the following printed on its salary receipt forms: persona! " Your salary is your own business and should not be disclosed tc, anyone." One employee, in signing the receipt. added: "I won't mention it to anybody. I'm just as ashamed of it as -Jou are."
On Tuesday morning a visit was made to the University. The boys viewed the magnificent buildings with all their wonderful appointments. Partieular interest was shown in the Departments of Physics and Chemistry, and all enjoyed the panoramic view of Perth as seen from the University tower. To Mr. R. E.

York Miss N. Sweeney left for the Eastern States by the Trans. train on August 22. Miss Sweeney is a member of the hockey team which is to tour the Eastern capitals, Miss .Iessie Noonan was also a passenger on the same train. Arrangements for the Spring Ball are now well advanced. The secretaries are Mesdames Noonan and Hooper. We are lucky in having Mrs. S. Reynolds as one of our parishioners. Mrs. Reynolds is a musician of no mean ability and for any entertainment held in connection with the church she is always ready and willing to give of her best. Recently the basket ball team of our local convent. visited the Beverley Convent, where a match was played. and on Wednesday of last week the Beverley team visited York for a return Unfortunately for our chilmatch. dren the Beverley team proved the stronger. but nevertheless a most enjoyable afternoon was spent on each occasion. Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs L. Negus, on the birth of e baby son. On August 2S, a very happy evenine was spent, the occasion being the 21st, birthday of Mary. the eldest daughter of Sergeant and Mrs. O'Connor. The festivities took place in St. Patrick's Parish Hall, where dancing and games were very much enjoyed by all. A dainty supper was partaken of, after which an enjoyable evening was brought to a close with the singing of "Auld Lang Sync." Up to date there have been eight weekly draws in connection with the prize packet.
Football. Our football trip to Armadale on Sunday last was a big success and resulted in another comfortable win for the society. The best players for the society were Frank Maywelt. Mick Greaney, Colin Arbuthnott, Chili McCarthy, Tom Tozer, Frank Townsend, and Kevin Clarke (second half). For the Armadale team. Johnny Smith. Jimmy Caldow, Joe Kelly, and Frank Farmer were outstanding. Spring Bus Trips. Our first spring trip for 1936-37 will take place on Sunday, September 27, and Araleun has been selected as the spot. Already assistant secretary Joe Lowry has reported a number of bookings, so the society has hired two buses with an option over a third. The popular price of 2/6 a head will again be charged. Nil.: Book early and avoid disappointment. Debate. Once again our team has been successful in the Fremantle Debate League. Our latest victory was against the Toc H team and a very fine showing was made by our representatives. Bill Roche gained 23 Agints out of a possible 25, whilst Dan Doherty, at his first appearance in open company, ac quitted himself very wel: The team was again led by Frank Townsend, who is having a good season
Kalgoorlie C.Y.M.S. An extraordinary general meeting was held in St. Mary's Hall on Monday night last, and there was a good attendance of members. The new committee presented the members with a schedule of the club's future activities, and if all the items thereon are put into force, an enjoyable time is in store for all members. Provision has been made for the introduction of deck tennis, hockey, table tennis, and bowls, and in the near future we hope to be able to issue a return ehal. lenge to the Boulder C.Y.M.S. in the form of a sports night. The dramatic secretary also promised to be able to Add another phase to the society's ac. tivities. It was decided that a re. introduction of the weekly meeting was in the best interest of the society, and notice of motion to that effect was eeceived. The motion will he confirmed at next Monday night's meeting, and we trust that the society may be able to recall some of its original vigor by this means. It was also moved and passed that for the remainder of the winter a coffee and "hot dog" supper be served to all members in attendance. If this does not succeed in drawing a good attendance, the committee will be very surprised and not a little disappointed. The society is pleased to receive Mr. Hedley Symons as a new member, and all wish that he may have an enjoyable time during his association with us. Hockey. Last Sunday we played the Kalgoorlie Hockey Club and were defeated by three goals to one. However, this does not seriously effect our chance of winning the competition, so members should steel themselves for the task they have before them ,by attending the Wednesday afternoon practice at the Commonwealth Park. The many friends of our member, Mr. Frank Bowen, will be pleased to know that he is well on -the way to recovery from the accident he sustained during the match against the New South Wales hockey team-

Over forty members were present. Sick pay for 13s 4d was passed for two members. During the meeting the election of a new secretary took place, Bro. P. Conway being elected to fill the office. Bro. C. Hansen was elected to the position of vice-president of the branch. Both members suitably responded. The late secretare. . O'Brien, was presented with a travelling from the branch on the occasion of his relinguishing office, owing to being transferred to the country. Many of the members present spoke in high terms of the late secretary. both as a noble Hibernian and as a man, and wished him the very best in his new position. Bro. O'Brien always had the interests of our noble society at heart, and I feel sure that every Hibernian will feel pleased to bear that he has been promoted to a better position. Bro. O'Brien suitably responded and thanked the members who had always given him their support. The chaplain, Rev. Father Maguire. 0.M.I., read the closing prayers. Bt. Mary's Branch, Leederville. The fortnightly meeting was held on August 26, the president, Bro. L Johnston, presiding over a fair attendance of members.

Final arrangements were made for the bridge and rummy party to be held at Sr. E. Clear's residence, Oxford-street, on September 11. Bro. M. Iles was appointed as a delegate to the Metropolitan Social Council. Members were urged to participate in the annual Retreat at the Monastery. to he held on September 5 and 6. After the business was completed, the chaplain, Rev. Father Russell, delivered his lecture on the life of Father Da. mien. The discourse was most interesting and instructive and the rever. end lecturer held his hearers in rapt attention throughout This lecture was such a very great treat for the members that the chaplain can expect pressure to he exerted to get him to deliver another one at an early date.

You Are Simply A Mass of Glands Why Does The Press Exploit Science as Anti-Christian? The Case of Professor Pavlov About a year ago there came to London a Russian scientist named Professor Pavlov. He was a scholar famous from pre-War days, who had been given facilities. by the Bolsheviks to continue his work. His special study was conditional reflexes—the response to a stimulus—as for example when the sight of a lemon
makes the mouth water.
The arrival of Professor Pavlov was marked by that outburst of newspaper publicity, that rush of photographs, interviews and articles, which always means a
press agent in the background.
Professor Coue got the same excited attention from the Press. A little while later there apthe peared in the Bulletin of Moscow Narodny Bank a triumphant article declaring that Professor Pavlov's researches had

The Aboriginal Problem. VI.
B
-41/
EFORE discussing some of the more obvious ways in which our legal processes are unjust to the aboriginal, something should, I think, be said about the moral law. Many people seem to have the greatest respect for the law of the land. but are perfectly willing to take their chances with the Law of God. They believe 'firmly in the policeman, but have their doubts about the Deity. No Catholic, however. NVi11 doubt either . the existence of the moral law or his obligation to observe it. On the moral law in relation to the aborigines, let me quote Father John Healy, P.P., of Queensland:
Law and the Aboriginal "A Jury of His Peers" (By V. H. W.)
dham Gaol, according to the local press. several natives who have been incarcerated for three months after having been dragged in from the vicinity of the Drysdale Mission, their only crime being that they are witnesses to an alleged "murder." I am utterly unaware of the legal process under which these native "witnesses" are so treated. and it seems tolerably plain that if the aboriginals had any real "protectors" the responsible authorities would not dare to treat them in a wav which not only violates all ideas of decency and humanity,. but which would, were the sufferers any other than the destitute, defenceless, and inarticulate people that they are, carry with it the menace of legal retribution.

Sex Offences and The Law It is difficult to decide whether there is, at the moment. an alarming increase in sex offences or whether it so happens that the press is giving them an undue prominence. A recent case, however, where the Judge imposed a sentence of ten years in order to shock the community, indicates both that these offences are increasing and that the Law feels impotent to deal satisfactorily with them. There is something especially pathetic about the constant vague appeals to psychology as to a panacea. For in the cold light of modern history it was precisely Freudian psychology which gave an unparalleled impetus to sexualism in the past two True. Freud is already demode, but the damage has decades. been done and his nasty notions, though waning. still exert some influence among students of psychology- who are not especially attached to the Christian life. If the Law is powerless to correct this type of vice, and it should be obvious that it is, then the unChristian psychologist is even more so for "psyche" means the soul, and in the face of what the Christian life means to the soul. the naturalist is not merely a humbug but a defined menace. A s to adolescence, there is complete dependence on externals t o provide amusement. It never occurs to modern youth that it should be able to amuse itself. Hence the cry among modern educationalists for "education for leisure." The issue is further complicated by the fact that many of these external amusements are, in the words of the Holy Father, "tainted with sexual vice," notably the motion. pictures. But above .all, it appears that .the Young men. unemployed, or economic system is responsible. working for a pittance as so many are, have sooner or later to face the issue that marriage has become, economically anyhow, a very remote prospect. What wonder, if insufficiently trained in school Amid social conditions years, they break under the strain ! which are sub-human, it is futile to ask men to be supernatural. The responsibility for most of the moral disorders of our time must be laid at the doors of the industrialists. Small wonder that men who have 110 illt1701 over their own, economic life should be affairs. Social recoil . ihipelled to have-control over their ,piritual struction must"precede spiritual. regeneration.

Ranting Ignorance On 'a previous occasion we called attention to an article in - World Peace,' highly offensive to Catholics. In its issue of August, there appears yet another and more objectionable tiraderom such a quarter the attack is not surprising. "World Peace" sis a bulletin. published by the Council Against War and Fascism, which is simply another cog in the Communist machinery, and an organisation to which no Catholic can, in conscience, belong. Let no one he deceived by all the heroic clap-trap about peace. Nor is Fascism the peril which threatens civilisation, but Communism. The present piece of sentimental hysteria concerns the Pope's "silence, broken only by vague generalities" over the Abyssinian issue. The article's only significance is its illustrative force of the need of sound primary education and of the advisability of haying something in the mind before opening the mouth. To say that the Pope was silent, or merely gave out vague generalities about the Abyssinian conquest, can only be dubbed an ignorant lie. Another such wild statement was recently nailed by the "Catholic Times" in England. and retraction secured from the Anglican Bishop of Bradford, Dr. Blount. We offer only one Papal utterance on the morality of the Abyssinian conflict. It is more. than enough for any fair-minded person and a great deal more than this malicious falsehood merits. If this is not a denunciation of Italy's preparation for \var, i-sued on April 1 . 1935. then words have no meaning: "Rumours of wars, current everywhere, are a cause of the deepest agitation to all, and rouse in all hearts the gravest fears. That the nations should again take up arms against one another, that the blood of brothers should again be shed, that destruction and ruin should be poured out over land and sea and in the air. would be a crime so heinous, a manifestation of folly so mad, that we regard is as absolutely impossible. "We cannot in fact persuade ourselves that those who have at heart the nation's prosperity and well-being can wish to drive to slaughter, ruin, and extermination, not only their own nation, but a great part of humanity as well. But if anyone should dare to commit this crime, we shall not be able to do otherwise than to pray to God with bitterness in our hearts: 'Scatter Thou the nations that delight in wars.'" There is one further point. The Anglican Bishop of Birmingham, Dr, Barnes, is quoted in a piece of satirical blasphemy as collaborative evidence. It is not unkind to say that Catholics Nvould have been more impressed by the testimony of a Christian Navvy, than by an infidel who is permitted to attack Christian fundamentals in an official capacity from an Anglican pulpit. Nobody should be distressed by Bishop Barnes' denunciation of war horrors in Abyssinia when one recalls that the same man objected to the Blessed Eucharist as "a barbarous blood feast." "If I were an Italian ecclesiastic," hymned the Bishop. "I should have cause for fear." If the Bishop were an Italian ecclesiastic he would have been soundly grounded in elementary philosophy, historical perspective and self-control. As it is he is only a provincial Englishman masquerading as a Christian Bishop and a gentleman, and all unknowingly has every reason for. apprehen,ion.

The satisfactory solution of any problem. but especially of a grave moral problem, is'the discovery of causes rather than effects. Vain is the treatment of a fruit of a diseased tree if the parasite is at the roots. Iii a general Nvay the reasons for the crime wave are penetratingly outlined bv Archbishop Kelly 'elsewhere in this issue. Regarding this specific problem. the source of weakness appears first in the home life. In our day the family has been -largely disintegrated. There is a widespread philosophy which encourages parents to shirk their responsibilities in favour of an alAnd another aspect of the same degenerate leged "freedom." philosophy accounts for the phenomenal number of young boys and girls to be seen nightly on the streets. The second, and perhaps even weightier cause, is secular education, which completely A omits the inculcation of virtue from supernatural motives. child who spends his elastic years in a secular school is, moreover, untrained in self-denial, .both because the secular system does nothing for the education of the will and because their ideas of education allow the child a ridiculous amount of latitude which ifatal to habits of self-control. )4C
A number of minor aspects of this matter could be mentioned, which, though not generally acceptable, are none the less in some The decay of measure contributory to its alarming increase. modesty among women is a lamentable sign of our times, which has tended, together with the hysterical claims for equality with men, to break through the old protective covers of respect and Chivalry. There is also the licentiousness that stalks abroad in the name of modern art, and in the "romantic" novels. With the decline of sound philosophy there has arisen in Universities a debauch of the intellect known as "subjectivism," which throws the onus of moral decisions on to the lower nature of man instead of cri to his intellect. There are widespread notions of racial betterment based on the idea that men differ from animals only in deSterilisation, birth-control, and cremation have succeeded gree. in largely destroying reverence even for the human body, and the normal functions of nature. These evils cannot be eradicated by a term of imprisonment, nor by treatment from a pvcho-analysist. The Christian life, lived from childhood, is the only alternative.
"Bulletin" on Local Soviet It was reire:•ning to find that that independent journal, the Sy-dney "Bulletin," had a vigorous attack on the local Society for the Promotion of Cultural Relations with Russia. While it is t rue that the avowed objects of the society are not concerned with the propaganda of Communism', the very fact that such a body sets out to examine Russian affairs in the face of an indisputable antiGod front in Russia, points to the existence of a favourable bias towards the Soviet within the society. • We do not say that every member of the movement is acting with ulterior motives. That not the way of the Communist. He is content if his comrades are the leading spirits who have a following of dupes beguiled by some flashy catchword or apparently honest motives. It is regrettable that a Christian Archbishop should permit himself to be made a tool in such an endeavour. But this is subtle, for it tends the whole affair an aspect of respectability, calculated to quiet the fears of professing Christians.
Professor Beasley 's share in the new society seems unduly prominent. It has been suggested that the Professor is actuated by motives other than a zeal for the study of a possibly misunderstood nation and philosophy. It is suspected that the Professor subscribes to that philosophy and assists subtely in its propagation. If this be so, it is well within- the province of an indignant citizen to inquire on what moral grounds a Professr, paid by the State to teach in a public University, is permitted to disseminate doctrines subversive of the State. Surely such a line of conduct is scarcely honest and should baulk even the elastic conscience of a Communist. The plain man has every reason to be suspicious of the Cultural Society, seeing that Communism ha, inoculated and gained control of even more apparently. innoctou, groups such as the Council Against War and Fascism, the Workers' Art Club, and the University 'Labour Club. There are no acrt-.p./es in the Marxist soul.

To make the final preparations a busy-bee will finish the clearing on the block on the next two Saturday afternoons. The church will be in what is popularly known as Mission - style,— an adaptation of .the Spanish. mode ia church architecture, which the Franciscan Missionaries brought from Spain to Mexico, and from Mexico to California, where "Mission" is the fashionable hall-mark. On our commanding site a tower will look well, facing St. Mary's Cathedral, and arresting the attention of the many who cross daily on the ferries. The best part of the block has been chosen so that no in parochial future developments buildings will ever break the unbroken line of the church from across the water. A Beautiful Window.

It is a memorial church wherein the memory of the spiritual eons and daughters of St. Patrick who have preached, and taught, and lived the faith in Western Australia will be kept alive- The rose window has been designed to that purpose.

Catholic Teacher Honoured MR. M. F. DARCEY'S LONG RECORD. Tributes were paid on Tuesday by delegates to the annual conference of the Teachers'. Union to Mr. M. F. Darcey, a. former secretary of the union. who recently retired after over 40 years in the teaching service. The president (Mr. E. Huck), in moving that Mr. M. F. Darcey be elected a life member of the union, said that life membership was the highest honour in the gift of conference. During his long service there had not been a greater builder or worker for teachers than Mr. Darcey. For ten years he had acted as honorary secretary of the union and editor of the "Teachers' Journal.He was one of the leaders in the historic strike in 1920, out. of which evolved the Publie Service Appeal Board. Mr. Darcey was elected teachers' representative on that board and now, even in his retirement. the teachers insisted that he continue as their representative on the board. Mr. Darcey had done great w ork on the board, never having missed a session or a case. Seconding the motion, Mr. T. J. Milligan said that he had been associated in the union with Mr. Darcey ince 1911. The honour of life membership had been well earned by all on whom it had been bestowed, but by none mw-e than by Mr. Darcey. Complimentary ref.:rences to the work of Mr. Darcey were also made by Miss A. Coffey, and Messrs. Fellman. McLean. Potts, Hartley and Nlligan. The president handed to Mr. Darcey a wallet "In behalf of 2,000 teachers."

THE RECORD.
Priest Says That Blood Flowed From Host During Mass The Holy Office Authorises An Official Enquiry A miracle during the celebration of Mass has been reported to the Pope and to the Holy Office in Rome from the little Italian country town of aPaganico Sabino, and the Bishop of Rieti has been authorised to hold an official enquiry. The parish priest _relates that after he had broken the Sacred Host he saw blood flow from it. After completing the Mass he remained at the altar until the Bishop of Rieti. called by telephone, had arrived. For years non-Catholic organisations have been trying to spread their doctrines among the peasants of the Sabines, and during the Mass when the reported miracles occurred. the priest had been praying that none of his people might be seduced by this propaganda. Paganico Sabino is a pretty lit-tie country town situated in thc Sabine Hills. near Rieti. • The facts of the occurrence on Sunday. August 2-which the townsfolk in their piety do not hesitate to call a miracle-as told by the parish priest. Father Raphael Codipietro, are briefly as follows.
Rieti. The priest remained before the altar, which had become t he object of great devotion, until t he arrival of the Bishop.
He was celebrating the second Mass pro populo. and was priv ing in a very special waNy ti,at none of his flock mtglit be se(:ued by Protestant propaganda to abandon their Catholic Faith
The Bishop heard the relation of the parish priest and of those present and sent an account to the Holy Father and to the Holy Office.
When he came to the "Anus Dei" and broke the Sacred Host in three parts, he saw blood flow from the smallest part f the Host. Eight drops fell on cirporal and some others in the altar-chart and on the veil of the tabernacle. The priest was very moved by what he witnessed and the people became aware that si,tbet hint; unusual had taken place. Some drew close to the alta;-. after the priest had consumed rite Sacred Species. and saw the red spots on the linen. Word went from one to another and they brought flowers and placed them on and about the altar aryl lit candles. The priest, having finished the Mass. unvested without leaving t he altar and had a telephone message sent to the Bishop at
Holy Office Investigation.
On the following day one of the officials of the Haly Office with the Bishop visited the scene of t he occurrence, and the Bishop has been authorised to form a diocesan commission to enquire into the matter. A fter the Bishop's visit to the altar on Sunday. he placed the linen that had been stained by the red spots in a tabernacle, and retained the key. A fter the first enquiry the Holy Office will examine and decide on the supposed miracle. The Bishop of Rieti. Mgr. Massimo Rinaldi, is a very pious and zealous prelate and has been for years combating the insistent efforts of the non-Catholc lions to spread their petnicious doctrines among the petisants of the Sabines.

The Finalists. Next week-end will witness the commencement of all semi-finals for the various cups and pennants. It will also mean that secretaries of all cluus will resume their natural tools „nd unruffled demeanours until the season wends its way around again. Many members of teams do not realise the e xasperating experience they give club officials on Saturday mornings by intimating the fact they are "nut available." The semi-finals will be staged with a grim determination to secure the coveted honours of victory. All are e venly matched, which will mean necessarily close finishes.

Jack Gurry Comes West. In all spurting activities of our neighbouring State, the Gurry name is well and favourably known, more so, perhaps, in Catholic circles. This ap. plies particularly sp in the tennis arena. Jack Gurry, who has become resident in Perth, has been one of the stalwarts in the Adelaide Catholic Tennis Association, of which brother Ted is general secretary. The recent arrival wields a good racquet and is already being enticed to join a leading club. Ile is a welcome addition t, i the local ranks.

The Interstate Carnival. The council at its last meeting de cided to give only a small subsidy to t hose who will be eventually selected to go to the Adelaide Carnival. This is a wise move, for in past years many members who were freighted free showed a lamentable lack of appreciation for the trips bestowed upon them. The team this year will be selected from those playing in the "A- and -li" grades, and who will find it convenient, to cross the border. A great in. centive to those making the trip will be the fact that the Australian Championships will be held at the same time and the privilege of seeing Perry and the world's best in action should not be missed if it is at all possible to been arranged is one of splendour. night.

St. Brigid's delegate- in Bernie tlagarty, seemed content with all reports, so that delegates flow of oratory in side issues will have to wait for "another day."

knew everyone as would be possible there; was f perfectly positive that every kind of Crime could be forgiven? I presume that this man, as I encouraged him to do, went back to the Carolinas and bothered the pastor for better and fuller explanations and that he then probably coasted in atop a confessional. That's just it: there is no practice that won't eventually attract some type; this shows the danger we are in. I have even heard a Puritanical dowager passing through the Philippines on a round-the-world cruise being first repelled, then attracted, by seeing the priest, immediately following his Mass, going off with his server to a cock fight. She is now in the Church, perhaps lecturing learnedly on the liturgy. Now we, the eldest child, born to the purple. the heirs, are also very often auxiliary members of the Church Dormant and are apathetic to the point of spiritual anemia. We take things easy, be they saints or scandals, having lived with both for nearly two thousand years and we follow the comfortable laissez-faire rule of most . other aristocrats. But these newcomers, intoxicated with the certitude and beauty of the Church, her ceremony, her saintly Tembers dead and living, must needs be up and doing. writing or preaching or soap-boxing, bent on shaming ris or at least rousing its from our cherished lethargy. My suggestion is first to start a defensive movement while there is still time; this embarrassing influx continues both (lay and night. Then, I recommend a "Kontrol the Konvert Kwota" while we formulate offensive plans. If we can succeed in confining these members to a reasonably small majority, I have hopes that our inferiority complex will gradually disappear and that tve and our children's children may even stand up boldly and not quail or blush on admitting that we are Old Catholics; that both our parents were honest-to-goodness Catholics; likewise our four grandparents; that we have no remembrances of atheistic, Jewish or Protestant (lays; that we cannot remember a time when W e could not bless ourselves, never had a room without Our Lady's picture; never- dreamed a Catholic child belonged but in a Catholic school; never felt that the support of our press was not a noblesse oblige affair which we could not shirk; never had illuminatingly swift or torturingly slow inspirations regarding the abode of truth; never thought of the many saints except as members of a distant branch of the family; never felt a powerful urge toward Rome for we never for a moment felt that the Papacy was not part and parcel of our pride and joy and responsibility. Now all this may sound very snobi)ish, not to say utterly opposed to the spirit of Catholicism, but after all, while the eleventh-hour workers will receive as much as we, there is no record that the first -hour workers may not hive handed together in self-defence when they saw the rush. We must protect ourselves, so let us unite and not feel ashamed or inferior or uninteresting when next we listen to some charming and persuasive convert speak feelingly or vigoron Catholic Action.

In a film which was privately screened at the Premier Theatre, Mt. Lawley, on Sunday afternoon, tne life of perhaps the best-loved saint of modern times, Therese of Lisieux, has been faithfully and reverently depicted by Cardinal Films, a French producing company. It was directed by Julien Duvivier, a noted French director, and has many remarkable photographic effects.

The story of the film follows chronologically the events in the life of Therese Martin, one of the five daughters of Louis and Zelie Martin, of the old Norman town of Lisieux. It observes remarkable fidelity to the "Autobiography." When Therese is four years okt her eldest sister enters the Carmelite Convent at Lisieux, and it is then that Therese first declares her in. tention of following her. By the time she has reached the ,age of 13, another O f her sisters has entered the Carmelite Order and it is at that age that she resolves to seek her father's permission to apply for admission. Her father agrees but the religious authorities inform her that she is too Young to enter. Quite determined, however.

Review of The Activities of The Past Year Tardun Scheme for T HEeducating and training or-
and penal Parliament other bodies, to enable English orphaned boys to avail of the opportunities which the scheme affords.
phaned boys and those w hose parents are unfinancial, with a view to placing them on f arms on their own account later, has appealed to many people in this and other States, as well as to some residing in England. Several inquiries have been recently received by the Principal of the School concerning the The following extract scheme. was received early this year from Doctor Ambrose, M.D., 34 Mapresburn-road, London. Dr. Ambrose had been a member of the Imperial Parliament for 17 years: ". . . I and several of my friends here are keenly interested in your placing for Tardun Scheme youths on the land on their own account. It is 4 pity that more this country is not known in about such a praiseworthy under taking. I was recently much interested in a report dealing with the handing over of a farm to All who your first graduate. have read the report here were Please profoundly impressed. f orward me, at least a dozen papers containing an account of the event. T shall forward them to various centres where the report is sure to impress others as it impressed me." . . . . During the present month a letter was received from the Very Rev. Canon Crea, Westminster Bridge Road, London, asking for particulars concerning the Tar dun School. Naturally the majority of those most interested in the scheme belong to our own State, hence we are hopeful that a theme of the progress made during the past year will prove of interest to many of our readers. The farm is aux\ fully equipped for shearing, with a three.stand shearing plant. All the s tearing was completed during the months of August and September, 1935, by members of t he staff and the trainees. Just as the ‘\ heat was commencing to head in 1935, the w hole crop was threatened with destruction b\ the emu invasion. Fortunately, owing to prompt action and extraordinary effort on the part of the staff and trainees. the threatening calamity was a verted. An emu-proof fence W as quickly- erected along the eastern boundary, just behind the crop;,.. It consisted of six wires, two of which were barbed and placed one on tqip and the other placed third from the top. Strainers were erected 50 yards apart, with posts between and one yard apart. All the posts w ere hand-bored and all wires w ere tied by hand. The wires W ere well strained, the result being that when the emus were driven against the fences they c ould not get through and were then either driven into pockets or k illed by dogs. The pest completely disappeared after a few w eeks. In 1935 the crops, in common w ith those in the district, suffered .severely owing to the prolong... ed spell of dry weather which Was experienced from April to t he end of the year.
Extra accommodation for the boys is urgently needed, and it is hoped that the necessary funds will be forthcoming to enable the Brothers to erect the western wing of the proposed building, as illtistrated in the "West Australian."

Kitson, N1.1,.A.,• presented the key of the cottage to Mr. Dean, and declared it open. Dr. O'Collins and the Hon. Mr. Kitson S ( ke in very complimentary terms of the scheme and its possibilities for the State and the boys. The Principal of the school stated that he iVas very hopeful for the success of the scheme, notwithstanding the financial difficulties consequent on adverse season conditions. He also paid a tribute to the part :played lw the Lotteries Commission in enabling the Christian Brothers to continue such a laud-, able scheme for the development of the State and the welfare of the boys. .
In addition to the emu fence, extending four miles. and erected towards the end of August and during the months of September and .October, additional sub-division fencing to the extent of five miles had been erected during 1935. A well," on which a windmill has been erected, was sunk in December, 1935. The well is capable of supplying two thousand The water is gallons per day. pumped into a concrete tank which is capable of holding over The water is 20,000 gallons. di,:tributed from the tank into concrete troughs about 50 yards It may be added in length. that there was no dearth of water on the farm during the long period of drought.
His Excellency, Sir James Mitchell, Lieutenant Governor, paid a visit to the farm towards the end of last year. He expressed himself as being highly pleased with the scheme which was capable of doing so much good for the boys, and also for the State by developing its resources. He added that the scheme deserved the sympathy and support of every section of the community.
The Christian Brothers who control the scheme are to be commended for their persevering efforts in the face of financial difficulties on behalf of such a worthy cause. There are nine Brothers on the staff, some of whom are certificated teachers, and the remainder experts in some branch of farming. The Brothers devote their whole time and attention to the work of the school and farm without fee or reward of any kind, except the satisfaction which they derive from the feeling that they are fitting the boys to become good and useful citizens and Christians.
Early in 1936 the scheme was extended by the establishment of an Agricultural School, where Car Owner: "I locked the car up bethe trainees are taught agricultural science, physics, chemistry, fore we left it. and now, confound it, lost the key!"

In addition to the trainees who are engaged in practical mixed farming, there are ten boys who devote most of their time to study. It is expected in future that all trainees will have passed the Junior University before engaging in full-time practical farm work. They will then be paid wages according to a scale drawn up by the Child Welfare Department until they reach the age of 21 years, when it is hoped that they will he capable of taking up farms on their own account, under the supervision of the Principal and staff of the school.

She was met on arrival by several distinguished members of the royal house, and was driven to her residence via the river by a gentleman famous alike for his petrol and charity. Later on in the day it was my privilege to be admitted to the royal pre. sence. While greeting me with her usual unaffected simplicity, Her Royal Highness admitted to feelirs- nearly "half dead" and on being questioned as to her opinion of the boat which had carried her through one, of the heaviest storms ever experienced on the high seas, it was hard to distinguish whether she alluded to it as the "Duntroon" or the "Damtroon." but in view of the fact that the coastal boat was exactly twentv-six and a half hours late, one could excuse even a Princess for calling it the latter, The Princess was reclining against a suede travelling cushion presented to her as a last token of affection by the Queen of Peace. and rumour has it that she has already voiced a request that this cushion should be laid under her royal head in her last trip to Karrakatta Apart from a new

In fact, her old-fashioned reverence for old-fashioned clothing made her guilty of a --faux pas on board, for she had remained oblivious of the fact that ladies are now wearing what was once considered a strict item of gentlemen's wear, and haying happened to collide with two fair young things wearing creams, she said, "Pardon, gentlemen!" much to the amusement of the steward who was guiding Her Royal Highness along the deck. Asked had she any messages for Aunt Bessy, Princes Elizabeth grew "Tell her I've a trunk enthusiastic. full for the Bushies and half a dozen kisses from different ones for herself," so later that afternoon Aunt Bessy arrived to take delivery.

"And now you're good for another fifty years or so,- I said. "Make it eighty and I'll say Yes," said she, though, added Her Highness, "things were so dreadful on the journey back I thought I would be in heaven any moment," She booed the suggestion that had the boat gone down she might have had to do a few ,weeks in Purgatory and get rid of some of the dust of travel, and remarked that though St. Thomas a' Kempis had something to say about people going much abroad she would be ready for another trip in the morning, as spiritually and physically the felt so much renewed.

ANSWER TO CORRESPONDENT. - Puzzled" Perth sites a ease ol a Catholic man marrying a nun-Catholic woman (unbaptised) in a Catholic Church. and asks (1) was it actually a real marriage, (2) are there grounds for annulment by reason of the nonbaptism of one of the parties. Reply: (1) Granting that the necessary dispensation had been obtained from competent authority, the marriage was undoubtedly a real (you mean a valid) one. (2) Should the Pauline conditions be fulfilled, the marriage in.. question might easily come within the extension of the Pauline Privilege. These conditions have been recently explained in "The Record," but to determine a particular case you would need the personal advice of a priest.

The Appeal of Christ From the Gospel Pages The Burning Ardour of Jesus.
-:-
"While He was, at this time in Jerusalem, for the festival of the Passover, many believed in His Name, seeing the signs which He did. But Jesus did not confide Himself to them, because He knew them all, and because He had no need that any one tender unto Him the testimony of man: for He, of Himself, knew what there is in man." The Gospel does not declare what prodigies the Saviour performed during those days. Certainly they must have been of a strikinp- character to attract Hint suddee' - such a host of disciples; but their faith x‘-as only rooted in self-interest and ambition, and thus the Lord "did not intrust Himself to them" as He did to the Galileans.

He declares that he became interested in social problems by reading the Papal En c yclicals. and maintains that therein he found a mandate to be interested in political, social, and economic questions in so far as involved the temporal welfare of souls whose supernatural destiny had been committed by Christ to His priests. It is interesting- to note that outstanding traits in the character of this man, who has a radio audience of sonic twenty million and a reading public of some three million, arc his humanity and his humility.
