Marrying Divorced People

THE RECORD.

Qualifications of Caiaphas

North Queensland Farmer. Ayd, N.Q. : Some years ago I came to Australia, leaving my wife in the homeland, she having agreed to come out to me later on. But she has divorced me, and married again. She had no right to do that, of course. And so far as the Catholic Church is concerned, her bond of mar. r ile!. with you is still binding. I woukl now like to marry a Catholic girl, but the Catholic Church will not marry us. uti ,t,r, not trey to marry again w hilst your wife still lives. And the Catholic Church has no option in this ooatter She is here to see that the os of Christ is observed, not broken. Personally I am opposed to easy divorce laws, and think it a great take for any government to astable people to get a divorce whenever it -Mu them. and over trifling turbanees. agree with that wholeheartedly I cannot agree with your further remarks. If. however, a man has been divorced through what is really no fault of his.I think that the Catholic Church that:id permit it. The Catholic Church is not free to permit it. Christ Himself has given the law, 'What God has joined tolet not man put asunder." Once two people have validly received the Christian Sacrament of Matrimony the have entered int* a contract fen T.ing until death. The Chuff+ rrlus-t insist upon the necessity of onset-, ire that law, And the matter is o—ious that exceptions cannot be made. There is scarcely a general law in existence which does not hurt somebody. But if the common good demands a rigid general law in important matters, the general good must prevail over the occasional "hard cazoo" Rut. in any case, the rathohe church lacks the right to tamper with this positive law of ...Thrift • •

Learned Jews Rejected Christ

For instance, Caiaphas, the High Priest, was a man of learning, and also something at least of a man of God. We cannot presume that Caiaphas was a man of deep learning. The office of High Priest had been sadly degraded. Josephus complains that some who were chosen were too ignorant to know the dignity of their positions whilst the Mishna had to embody the rubric, "If the High Priest cannot read, let someone read to him" Again. since the High Priests were closely associated with, and at times (keen from the Sadduceec. such learn. ing as they did possess was gravely infected hr rationalism and materialism. Nor was t'aiaphas a man of God save e xternal profession. The High Priesthood had become subject to Roman political authority Anaae had been deposed by the Roman Gov. ernor Valeriug Gnaws in the year 15 A.D.

A Medal was apparently impending, so Jesus had not mad* such a very absurd claim ( presuming He did make such a claim). lhe Jews know that the time of the Messiah was at hand. They had been taught quite wrong ideas as to the true character of the Messiah, however, by their religious teachers, and entertained the notion that somehow or other he would he a temporal deliverer of the nation. Even that idea was not welcome to the politically -minded Caiaphas. And when Christ claimed not only to be the Messiah. but to be God Himself Caiaphas was overjoyed. Ile could get rid of one who might disturb his peaceful relations with the Roman authorities, and satisfy the religious susceptibilities of the Jews by the charge of blasphemy. The mere claim to Messiahship would not have seemed absurd or blasphemous to the Jews. Rut they were not prepared to accept a claim to absolute equality with God. Caiaphas knew this, and traded on it. He worked to one end, to get Christ to say that lie was God And seeing Jesus silent under the vani ous accusations, he at last cried. "I adjure thee by the living God that thou tell us if thou be the Christ, the The last words were Son of God." uppermost in his mind. No one was ignorant of the fact that Jesus had spoken and acted as if Ile were more than a mere man, and as if Ile were in a unique sense the Son of God. Caiaphas intended his question in that sense.

Beta. Sydney How do you account for the fact that the claims of Jesus of Nazareth to be God (presuming they were made) proved unacceptable to men of light and learning of that period? I account for it by the fact that. whist Jesus was the object.of men's sight as a man. He was the object of supernatural faith as God. When Christ said to His disciples. "Whom do men wry that I am?" they replied. me John the Baptist: others Elias, others Jerezniao or another prophet." 1-3 ;•. when He asked. "Whom do you say that I am," and Peter replied, 'Thou art the Christ the on of the Living God." Jesus replied, "Blessed art thou, for flesh and blood bath not revealed this to thee, but my Father in heaven." On another occasion. Christ said, "No man can come to me unless the Father draws him." You see, faith in Christ and salvation t hoough Him cannot be made to depend upon natural gifts of education and learning. The brainy and the educated are not going to have a better chance of salvation than those less fortunate. We can't fill heaven with the intellectuaLs, and hell with the dull w itted. The men of light and learn in who refused to accept Christ as God, may have had some degree of natural light: but they shut their minds against supernatural light. They may have had natural learning. but t hey had not spiritual wisdom and in sight If you ask me why they lacked such supernatural gifts.I reply that Why should he have been o harsh on Jesus. even if he thouoto His claim they rejected such graces as were ofpreposterous? fered to them through lack of goodReligious bigotry, which does not rt,' will, and hardened obstinacyo It was t eir own fault cessarily imply love for one's own reli gion, political expediency, avarice and ambition. are more than enough to acSANT,: MONEY on Stoves.

A Text Against the Virgin Birth

Even if Caiaphas were swayed by worldly considerations, would he not lave changed in attitude if the Resurrection of Jesus had actually t aken place? Having wndeanited Jesus prior to the Resurrection, and having sponsor. el the request to Pilate on the score that "this seducer" said he would rise, it is not in the least likely that a man of the stamp of Caiaphas would have backed down, and eaten his own previous words. Having shut his eyes to all former evidence, it would not be difficult for him to refuse to yield, even if one rose from the dead. People whq "won't" see what other normal people know to be true have never been scarce. Would not the Jews, in and around Jerusalem, have been considerably moved by such an event?

Can you imagine such a thing happening to-day, and leaving the mass of the people so apparently unconcerned? The mass of the people sva,- not unconcerned. Jerusalem was in a turmoil. The people disputed hotly about it, either violently for or against it. That many were not converted is easily intelligible, for the Jews were a people of deep prejudices and obstin. acv. Racial and national traditions were, and are still, very pronounced Thus, prior to his death, in them. Stephen said to the Jews who were so excitedly attacking him, "You stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do you also. Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted?" But it is a vast mistake to think that but little impres. eion was made. Three thousand were converted on the Day of Pentecost, and the work went on so quickly that a great persecution was raised against the Church which was at Jerusalem in And in the following year 33 XI). Saul set out for Damascus to persecute the Church there. All these converts in the very year of Christ's Resurrection were from the mass of the They were not "apparently' .Jews. unconcerned. It is quite apparent that they were very much concerned Read the Acts of the Apostles. and you will see how greatly .lerusa7em was imore ed.

One understands that the wording of the Sinaitic Code, or maybe one of the Neutral Texts is that -Joseph begat Jesus.How reconcile this with the Catholic concept of a Virgin Birth? That reading does not ,etur in what are known as the Neutral Texts, nor in the Codex Sinaiticus. It occurs in a Syrian translation found on Mt. Sinai some few years ago, and which has been called the Sinaitic Syraic. Now as regards the wording you quote, i.e. "Joseph begat Jesus," I reply that whether it is correct or not, it would not necessarily affect the Catholic concept of the Virgin Birth. But also I say that, whilst it would not affect the doctrine, whether correct or not, it is not comet. Firstly, even if it were correct, it a-oukl not affect our doctrine. For such an expression would be quite normal even when referring to legal pa. ternity as opposed to real and natural paternity. And parallel passages compel the acceptance of legal paternity only. Secondly, however, it is not correct. This isolated Syrian translation must yield to the Codex Sinaiticus and the Codex N'aticanus. Von Soden admitted the reading you quote into his edition of the Greek text, and met with protests from scholars the world cryes. His action was against all the principles of Biblical textual criticism. and Lagrange did not hesitate to can it a "critical enormity." The reading. therefore, cannot be accepted as o ':1-reCt. and even if it were, it would not affect the Catholic doctrine ef the Virgin Birth.

Could you please tell me from the Bible what the soul is? We are told that it IS the Yes. principle of life; that it is made in the image and likeness of God.

And he fur. were were dead in sin. ther adds, "The wages of sin is death: i,ot the grace of God life in Christ " The soul is subject to death. It is not subject to physical death. T t is subject to moral death. Both body and soul shall be destroyed. C hrist said, - Fear not those who can kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul." A bullet through your brain might kill your body, driving out your soul But it could not destroy that soul The souls that were in the sea died. It is unlawful to jump like that from the literal sense to an obviously figuraPeople are called "souls" tive sense. by synecdoche. Synecdoche is a figure of speech by which a complete thing is described by a principal part, as when a person says that he will "take sail" for a distant place. intending, of course, that he will board a ship: or as when men send out the message.

their sacrifice be not complete, or if their lives retain anything of compromise between the life of a r eligious and the ordinary life of the world. Thus they give themselves entirely, and while working among their fellows lead the religious life of daily mortification and self sacrifice. The Noviciate. Let us begin by stating this case for Holland where the society is fully developed. Those who wish to enter the Society are required to pass a noviciate of three years, of which the first six months is referred to as the candidatt.re. The Candidates' House is situated at Scheveningen, while the greater part of the noviciate is spent at the Mother House of Tiltenberg at Vogeilenzang. The white house is built on a beautiful site in the quiet of the dune hills, surrounded in spring time by fields of tulips in their grand profusion of colour. Nothing breaks the silence and there is nothing to take the mind from spiritual things. The novices are trained by the mistress of novices in the Christian virtues. They are told clearly that they are destined to become women of sturdy character who are capable of working with a certain initiative for God's Kingdom. Their lives are passed in absolute retirement from the world: this is the time of spiritual growth, the time when all the good in a girl's character is strengthened, and when they attempt to discover everything that is defective. The order of the day and of the spiritual exercises is much the same as that in other religious noviciates. During their stay at Tiltenberg the novices wear a religious habit made after the model of Our Lady of Lourdes; the habit is white, the sash blue, and a white veil falls from the head to the waist. Our Lady is the patron of the Society. The members wear her habit and, under her protection and patronage. they seek to realise the object of the noviciate. namely. 'that the interior life be firmly established, and that the novices be prepared for the task that awaits them." The religious exercises prescribed for the novices in the Constitution comprise: (1) the careful study and practical application of the Constitution of the Society: (2) daily meditation and prayer: (31 the study of purity of intention in all one's acts. • This involves constant mindfulness of the Presence of God, and constant recourse to God: or, in other words, a life of uninterrupted prayer 41 the theoretical and practical understanding of what is demanded by the vows and the oath of obedience. and further, what is required for the attainment and practice of the theological and moral v irtues: 151 the special tests and trials of the noviciate which are destined to eradicate faults and to help in the acquisition of Christian perfection. In this way the novices learn that their talent,, knowledge, and capabilities are useless for the apostolic work of the Society unless all is founded upon solid Christian virtue and upon a real profound and, indeed. sovereign iove of Almighty God.

"Has not Lord Nioynihaii. in his remarks anent the new Voluntary Euthanasia Society, allowed his kindly heart to get the better of his head?" he writes.

Rebuked From

His first fight was against the dreaded Klu Klux Klan. A village nearby his church was 90 per cent. Klu Klux Klan, and they objected to his views. One night his 'phone rang to tell him that his church was afire. He sprinted from his lodgings to the church in time to save a wooden cross that was blazing before the shrine of the Little Flower. As he raced to she rescue of his church he had his great idea. Two months later he staggered his tiny congregation by telline, them that he wished to preach over the radio. He asked them for financial assistance to enable him to buy his place in a wire• less programme. The 16 members of the congregatien ebjected that it would be too exeensive. "It is my duty as a priest to reach as many ears as possible, o cry out against bigotry and intolerance,' he pleaded with them. The magic in kis voice pensuaded them against their preconceived ideas that radio was too much of a novelty for the Church. He got the money and the permission of his Bishop in Detroit.

was not enough, from moral generalities he proceeded to moral particularities. At the end of this next year he was getting 4,000 letters a w eek. He took "time" on other stations, and his radio bill grew to £330 a week. Then came the Wall-street crash, and the triumph of this priest. He slated those who had caused the crash, inveighed against the Cornmealists, and warned his listeners of the danger. The response was enormous, and the whole country became aware of this vital new public character, who attacked the mighty so fearlessly. A "Judas." Towards the end of 1930 he made a Contract with the Columbia broadcasting station for the use of a network of stations. This cost him £800 a week. His tongue became more bitter against evil and hypocrisy. and his followers increased. His attacks spread to famous political figures. He called Mellon a "Judas Iscariot," because he paid out millions to private citizens and ignored the claims of the soldiers. He was called a fool. a jackass. and a demagogue. Letters of complaint reached the Columbia station.. Then came his row with the broadcasting station. They insisted that in future they must read his material through before he came on the air.

His Power. He agreed, but instead of reading out the sermon they had passed. Coughlin explained to his listeners what had happened. If the letters of complaint had startled the radio authorities, the letters that poured in after this utterance staggered them. It took them days to cope with them. For the time being he had proved his power. A Year later Columbia delivered a blow that would have broken a lesser man. They announced that they would permit no more religious broadcasts, on the groend that they were too controversial. Undaunted, Coughlin got in touch with his friend Fitzpatrick, and together they I ATHER CHARLES E COUGHLIN. "RADM PRIEST. built up another chain of stations.

Last year, too, witnessed a controversy in ecclesiastical circles over the canonical aspect of Father Coughlin's activities. Rev. Father Dargin. a Doctor of Canon Law in New York, asserted in "The Ecclesiastical Review." that Father Coughlin's activities constituted a direct violation of existing Canon Law. This view was rebuffed in the same journal by Rt. Rev. Monsignor F. Murphy. of the same diocese as Father Coughlin. Father Wilfred Parsons. S.J.. at that time editor of the famous .1esuit weekly. "America." warned his readers that Father Coughlin was not infallible. On the other side. Bishop Gallagher. of Detroit, said he would support Father Coughlin until such time as a higher authority misht condemn him. And the Apostolic Delegate to America. Archbishop Cicognani. said succinctly: "What the Pope teaches. Father Coughlin preaches." Thus was the division of opinion prior to the rebuke by the "Osservatore Romano." It is too early yet to say how the situation will develop.

The congress will be attended by delegations from 32 States, including ( eat Britain, Australia. Canada. and South Africa. English speaking Catholics have also had good reason to suspect numerous modern peace movements which were found to use peace slogans merely as a -)retext and a veil to cover Communistic propaganda.

large measure to the cult of the body and to insistence on wrung ro-education and sex-education. Just how much of the deliberate dissemination of immorality is Soviet policy and how much is the work of depraved individuals is not clear. Certain it is that Soviet papers publish articles and pictures calculated to destroy Christian and natural morality.

"Jacks-of-all-trades" lost favour in April, 1923. The State needed more skilled workers: not experts, but men who could he put into any department of some work. In future, Polytechnic education was to mean the study as a whole of some product or socially useful work. This continued until the New Economic Policy of 1927, with its accompanying individual enterprise. As was to be expected. this did not last long. "Factories" was the cry in 1929. In 1930 this, too, was condemned, and at the Pan-Russian Educational Congress in the August of that year the authorities decreed t hat "Polytechnic Education means not the study of all industries, hut the study of the basic elements of all indtsstry." and again stressed the need for collaboration between school and factory. The XVIIth. Pan-Russian Party Conference (Jan.. 1934). made obligatory. especially for those living 'in towns, seven years' polytechnic education. The four year course (R-121 had been compulsory since MR, as also had the seven year for dwellers in larger towns and industrial districts.

III.—School. We have already mentioned Primary schools. These are of t wo sorts. The first, following immediately the kindergarten, provides for children betweeneight and twelve years of age. The other gives a "general" edu cation to the graduates of the four-year course. Together they offer an ideal ten-year programme, which, being an ideal. is seldom achieved. Ten million children attended the Junior schools (8-12 years) in 1927-28; five years later, if we can believe Communist figures, the number was nineteen million, or ninety. eight per cent. of all the children in Russia between eight and t welve years of age. During the same period the Senior schools trebled their rolls, having four and a half million pupils in 1932. "Polytechnic"

This continua! changing. we may mention in passing, seems characteristic of the people. New systems are snatched at before the old have hail time to betray their uselessness. New sets of text hooks are issued before those they are to replace have been distributed. So long oppressed, the people tries each path in its effort to reach its goal.

As Mr. Winston Churchill put it, "absolute principles, but readiness to change them," is essential to the doctrine .of Communism. Yet Unaltered. We must bear in mind that, though methods may change, the aim is ever the satne—"a religionless Communist State." In the home and in the kindergartens every effort is made to "stifle the child's belief in the supernatural ;" and "anti-religious education is one of the basic principles most characteristic of the Soviet Polytechnics." The Fight for Youth and Age. Since true Socialism in all its forms' is definitely materialistic, secondary education, cultural as distinct from merely technical, may be said not to exist in Russia. There everything must be of immediate practical use. All through the child has been taught machine, and the last years of his training are spent in "technieums"—technical colleges destined to prepare instructors for theprimary schools and for the special 'illiterate adt,Its' " classes, foremen for State undertakings, and graduates for the High Schools. The attempt to "liquidate" the ignorance of the masses is interesting, and, materialism aside, praiseworthy. Naturally there are many men and women too 01(1 to have attended the primary schools. They cannot now leave their work to do so. Unless they are taught at least to read and write. they will never become active members of the Communist body; for they will be out of touch with the literature of the movement, and the printed page exercises a powerful influence on simple people. They are taught mainly through afterhours talks, radio lectures. and c orrespondence. The more intelligent and enthusiastic are prepared by these same means to begin courses at the "techni-

DR. SCHUSCHNIGG A DDRESSES PAX ROMANA RALLY

Austria's Chancellor, Dr. Kurr von Schuschnigg, received a great welcome when he arrived at Klagenfurt to address the 15th. annual congress of Pax Romana, the international federation of Vniversity Catholic societies. Thunderous applause greeted his appearance in the tribune He spoke in German for SO minutes. He emphasised particularly the point that wherca, we live at a time when the nations are drawn more closely than ever to one another, it is only by personal contact such as the present meeting gave, that a proper view of the situation in Austria could he obtained. Often, he said, the feelings. of .Austrians were hurt by the s weeping and superficial judgments made about their country. A just view could only be ob• tam ed by a glance at the history of the country and its contribution to culture. Protector of the West. The Austria of old was formed to protect the Empire of the West, which was both a spiritual and imperial task given to the eastern portion of the German race and nobly fulfilled by it. Two tasks he saw clearly before him. 1. The absolute duty to preserve the freedom of Austria. (Loud applause.) Nothing would be allowed to interfere with this. 2. The m4ntenance of peace. ( Again loud applause.) Every weapon and every uniform you see, he said, can have no other purpose than to preserve the peace of Austria after the unholy conflict of 20 years ago, in which so flinch of her blood was shed. The Nazi Question. He then went on to (1iscuss the question of national socialism which he said was a purely internal question on which he and his confreres could have no compromise with the enemy, and would not be affected by the recent agreement (with Germany). He emphasised how unjust it was to taunt Austria with its close adherence to the Catholic Church, as if it used it as a political weapon. whereas it was the enemies of the Church who, with their racial creed, made religion a political question.

The Aboriginal Problem. Puzzle of The Half-Caste -A Disgrace to the Community" (By V. H. W.) "gm" k..CuRDING to the official igures there are 26,500 aborigines in Western Australia, or about one 1;-). of the population. Of t hese 4250 are half-castes. The r eport of the Aborigines Department for 1935 states that the sum of £25000 was expended in that y ear on aboriginal welfare. Allowing that 10,000 aborigines are not affected by the Department's activities, this represents an expenditure of £1 lOs 2d per head.

ott

It is of interest to compare this ‘‘ith the money we spend on another section of our community. in many respects comparable with our aboriginal population: a section which needs special care and protection, and some measure of segregation in order to safeguard both its interests and t hose of the community; a sec?ion which, like the aborigines, is held to be unfit for political representation. I refer to those unfortunate people who come under the operations of the LunAccording to acy Department. t he published report of that Department. there were in round igures about 1.500 such people in The expenthis State in 1935. diture on these people was in round .figures £100.000 for that year.

WilC11 the matter of aboriginal welfare crops up. is a strange one, in view of the fact that we are prepared to spend fifty times as much on a lunatic a, we are on an aboriginal. It is doubly strange in view of the fact that the charter of responsible government granted to this 'ate contained a stringent proi,o that not less than two per nt. of all revenue was to be exuded on aboriginal welfare. Do ,vc ever stop to consider that if had paid the aboriginal popt.s ai of this State for their land t he rate of one shilling per ; (-re we would have had to pay over £30.000.000. and that • '- sum invested in GoNs.rnment —curities would return them an mial revenue of Nvell over •• • r(10.000:= \ 11 people Seem to agree that

Moseley) reported on conditions in the half-caste camps along the Great Southern Railway, which contain some 1,500 half-castes, in language which is hot with indignation and scathing in its reproach to the community which permits such conditions. "At the present time," says Mr. Moseley. "apart from the work done by a few missionaries, the care of the half-caste child is hopelessly inefficient. It

dren only a fraction, much less than a quarter, are receiving any care from missions or the Government, or any vestige of education. "Except for the distribution to the needy of a ration worth a little over Is. per child per week, the community is doing nothing for these children, and even placing obstacles in the way of those parents who attempt to do well by their offspring." It might be as well to remind the reader at this stage that we are dealing not with a "primitive" or animal-like people, who are "floomed to extinction by the immutable laws of evolution :" we are (Icahn!, with people of our own race and our own blood. "Most of these -4.000 people have

"Most of them were very eager for their children to go to school. lithe future yere shown clearly to them, I believe that they would be ready to make great sacrifices to that end. They have great faith in the schooling that IS now denied them." "There is scarcely' a legal marriage to be found in the camps." "Whatever is ( 1()ne.- :ays this writer, -it should be done at once.

It is not surprising that this w riter is forced to doubt whether there is any real religious influence in this community.. If, however, he concludes, there are any people \du, think that halfcaste people have souls, the present conditions rill be to them doubly intolerable.

There is a Bill listed to go before the present Parliament dealing with Aboriginal Welfare. It is obvious that the consideration of the conditions of these halfcaste people is long overdue.

Fascism

It has been said that one of the most phenomenal modern developments has been the alliance between Communism and Capitalism. Apart from the concrete fact of a military alliance be t ween Russia and such a country as England. there is coincidence between a number of major points in the philosophy of both. The organisation of industry on a sheerly materialistic basis, the inversion of the relation between human welfare and mechanistic pro. duction, the penalisation and denial of rights to the family, the seduction of women from their natural sphere—the home—these are the mutual grounds on which this strange wedlock was contracted. And if all this were unconvincing, the final proof might be had in the amazing amount of Communistic propaganda dessiminated, even locally, by the Capitalistic press. For the pre. , wittingly or unwittingly, has been caught up in the artificial panic about the advance of Fascism and the popular myth about the necessary association of Fascism with war, embodied in the Communist slogan: "Against War and Fascism." In a The predicament of Capitalism is easily understood. Fascist State its days are numbered, and it sees, moreover, that under Fascism the forces of Catholicism are able to operate, at least as well as under Capitalism. Now the Church is opposed to Capitalism quite as adamantly as to Communism. Hence Fascism and Catholicism are its two major enemies. But, because the Church can function under Fascism, the Capitalistic press has drawn the false conclusion that there is an equation between the t wo. So, in reporting the alleged Peace Congress at Brussels last week (which was rendered suspect to Catholics by the warning of Cardinal Van Roey), coupled with the absence of Fascist delegates, the press announced with great simplicity that "this fact symptomises the close relations between Roman Catholicism and Fascism in all countries." The explanation is quite otherwise. The Brussels Congress was concerned with matters very remote from peace. Its suspect character is confirmed by the fact that the international Communist agitator. Egon Kisch, was present and volunteered to tour Australia "on behalf of collective Australian Catholics remember Kisch mainly for his security." scurrilous attack on Lourdes when in Australia. That Catholicism has been able to carry on its work under Fascism does not at all signify its whole-hearted endorsement of the system. But at least it may he said that the Church has suffered less resterction in such countries as modern Italy and PortuThe Church gal than in Soviet Russia or Capitalistic Britain. cannot pledge Herself to Fascism, as at present constituted, beThere is not cause its forms represent the Totalitarian State. that full measure of human liberty that is necessary for the natural development of men, materially and spiritually. But the same applies to countries where Capitalism and Communism reign. Even if it could be proved that the Church favoured Fascism (as it might do with some gratitude). it could still be justified as a choice of the lesser among many great evils. The Church is not greatly agitated over political ideologies in regard to the perpetuation of her work. It may be hampered. but it cannot perish. That which survived from the Catacombs of Imperial Rome will pass, seared, but unconsumed through the hateful fires of the modern t yrannies.

Biood From the Dead A prominent place was given in the "West Australian" during the past week to an article on the above savoury topic. It was alleged to be written by "Our Medical Correspondent." Its purpose was very plain. To a person with either common sense or a smattering of medical knowledge, it was obvious that the writer had sacrificed all sense of truth and proportion in order to create an impression of intense admiration for certain Russian scientific research. The mood of hysterical exaggeration in which the article was written defeated its object. It reeked of nauseous s ensationalism. The work of Professor Joudine and his colleagues was described some months ago in "The British Medical Journal," a journal which is read by every doctor in Australia. The technique of blood transfusion has been well known for many years, and Jou-

dine showed that in place of blood from a living donor, blood from the corpse of a healthy man who had suffered a sudden and violent death could be used, and he described a series of 1,000 cases in which it had been used with good effect. Joudine claimed that blood from corpses possessed some advantages, not very important ones, over the blood from a - living donor. His claim is not generally admitted, but even if it be justified, his method obviously depends for its utility on a constant supply of suitable corpses. Apparently he finds no difficulty in obtaining these in Moscow, and we are quite prepared to believe that in that centre corpse-blood transfusion has "come to stay." We are also prepared to believe, with the "British Medical f ournal," that this is 'work of interest and some possible value. We are not prepared. however, to follow "Our Medical CorresAfter ranting pondent" into the realms of Russian melodrama. nonsensically about "warding off imminent and certain death." and snatching "from the grave" and "from the jaws of death" "1,000 cases of impending death," he announces sententiously that the use of corpse blood "is the most outstanding advance in medical science ever recorded." Evidently Harvey. Pasteur. Lister, Semmelweis, Koch, and the legion of other Christian heroes of Medical Science must now take a back seat; the anti-God fanatics of Mo;cow have reached the pinnacle of achievement from a pile of healthy corpses who have died violently and suddenly. This is clumsy It would not surprise us to learn that the article propaganda. emanated from some such society as that for the Promotion of Cultural Relations with Soviet Russia. or some similarly inspired

The Dublin Window. The photograph of the stained glass window for our new church caused a murmur of excited pleasure among the parishioners last Sunday. The delicacy of the features of SS. Patrick, Brigid and Columba make a strong appeal, The Celtic interlacings on the three small panels, each so distinctive, are splendid copies of that treasure in Irish art, the Book of Kens. The window is now finished, awaiting the church. It has been made by the famous firm of Harry Clarke, Ltd., Dublin. During the Spring Sh...w it created quite a stir, as a fresh illustration of the renaissance in stained glass which is making Dublin a world•naisse in this ancient art. The rich deep hues of the glass should give some glorious effects when burnished by our strong sun.

Mending Broken Homes Sir Arthur Keith Learns Constructive Social Endeavour The recent appointment in South Australia of a special judge whose task it will be to act as arbitrator in all cases of matrimonial disputes, with a view to bringing the parties together and , thus saving the breaking up of the home, has focussed attention on a problem which is of special interest to all those engaged in practical social work. It is particularly interesting to Catholics who have always regarded divorce as a moral evil, to note the significance of this step—the public recognition of divorce as a social evil. For the first time in Australia steps are now being taken to counteract the evil and to check its spread. Naturally, the steps will at first be tentative, but the fact that public recognition has been given at all to a probabletn which in the past appeared almost insolvable is most encouraging. A brief discussion of what is being done and what has been tried out with fair success in other part, of the world is in >I special significorder here. ance is the following extract from a London paper: Broken "Unhappy Couples' Homes. Marriage Menders' Plans k March 29). k Sir The Home Secretary John Sitnon) will shortly consider a report from the Marriage which Committee, Menders' hopes to prevent the breakingpp of 10,000 homes a year.

"The committee studied evidence in courts throughout Britain since 1934, and interviewed probation officers, psychologists and doctors, as well as dissatistied couples. It urges preliminary investigation in each case by a special officer from the man's as well as the woman's point of view. It says that publicity o ften renders the breach permanent, and recommends .that if casc, do actually go to court, they should be heard privately."

ed. The party with the best solicitor, therefore, does not necessarily get a decision in his or her favour. Wherever possible, the aim is to bring and keep the couple together again, especially where there are children; but if this cannot be done ,at least one feels that justice can be obtained by the poor as well as the rich, which is more than can be said of the administration of the Maintenance Act in some countries. where so often the weaker party has no redress.

But Sir Arthur's dogmatism is He is melting with the years. his with progress great making The missing link is. studies. unfortunately, still missing. and his fervent belief in a common ancestor for the human race has been rudely shaken. "What we have found," he says, according to a "West Australian report, "is compelling us to recast many of our ideas" . . "Clearly we have reached a point which compels a radical reorientation of our working theories." His recent discoveries only help "to deepen the mystery of human evolution." Perhaps Sir Arthur is realising that, after all. evolution is not a proven dogma of scientific faith, hut merely a fruitful and attractive hypothesis. And with the years he will surely find that it is not an explanation of life, a basis for metaphysics ,or the key to the riddle of the universe—man may have a soul!

Dear Mary,--Thanks for that 3.16. and for the promise to write every month.

These x‘orkings of the Spirit of God could not have been unknown to Nicodemus. He himself without doubt had experience of them in his inner life, and he had found them written down in the Psalms and the sapiential writings, where so many pious souls have recounted the ways of God within them. Therefore, when Nicodemus answered once again : 'How can this be done Testis showed some surprise.

"Are you a master in Israel, and yet you are ignorant of these things! Of a truth, I say unto you: We speak that which We know, We give testimony of the things which We have seen, and Our testimony man is not willing to receive. If you believe Me not when. I speak of the things of earth, how will you believe Me of the things of Heaven?" By "the things of earth" Jesus referred to all that He had been saying regarding Baptism; since the sacred rite, so far as its external forms are concerned, has a terrestrial side which appeals to the senses. By "the things of Heaven" He alluded to the lessons that still remained to be given to the —lorld—His celestial Origin, His Cross, raised aloft like the Serpent in the wilderness in order to save men, the salvation promised to those who believe in Him, the judgment and c ondemnation of the unbelieving. Christ's Last Appeal. "And behold." the Saviour concluded. "the cause of this judgment! It is because the Light is come into the world, and men have loved darkness better than the Light. because their works ‘'ere evil. For he who does evil hates the Light. and he comes not near it, for fear lest his works be discovered. But he who does the truth comes to the Light that his works may be made manifest. because they are done in God." Uttered. as apparently they were, upon the threshold of the dwelling, just at the moment when Nicodemus was taking his leave, while already the dawn was lighting up the eastern sky, these words sound like a last exhortation. whereby Jesus would conjure this doctor of the Sanhedrin not to draw away from But the Rabbi, though Him. qualified to discuss with the Christ upon such lofty themes. was vet of a cowardly soul : he would rather steal away from the insistent promptings of grace within: and though he believed deep down in his heart, he would still strive to let nothing he seen. During the x'hole period of the Saviour's Ministry we shall look in vain for Nicodemus in the number of His disciples : only once we shall hear him in the timid Sanhedrin essaying a speech in favour of Jesus. then, as if this feeble effort had exhausted his courage, he disappears. until amid the shadows of Calvary we meet him again, at the very last, close b-- the lifeless Body of his God.
