Was such conduct fitting in one to whom God's only Son had given charge of the keys, and all that? The office confided to Peter demanded that he should not fail in essential doctrinal and moral principles. It did not require that he should be preserved from all imprudence in administration and disciplinary measures. Whilst his conduct in this matter was not so evil as you would make it out to be. it was not fitting in one with his o ffice. St. Paul showed him that. But in no sense at all can it provide an argument that to Peter God's only Son had not given the Keys, and the f ulness of authority they indicate.

R eformation Still Active I thank God that the Reformation is still going on. It is becoming more and more obvious that, whilst the Reformation dragged multitudes from the Catholic C,hurch, it is failing to hold them even to the basic elements of the Christian religion. More and more frequently we hear the complaint from Protestant pulpits that Protestant churches are ignored by their own adherents. Protestant missionaries still teach the Word of God, even in those Godless Catholic countries of Europe and other places. In so far as any country is Catholic, it is not Godless. A "Godless Communism" has made inroads in the onetime Catholic Spain, and also in France. But the Catholic Church has ever taught, and is still teaching, the Word of God in those countries, as she does in Germany. Belgium. Italy, Ireland, and all other countries in the world

Infallibility "Stupid" It would upset the stupid idea of pot' Pope's infallibility if the Catholis Church were to accept the teachinr. of the Bible. That is a very stupid statement i am quite sure that you could not tell me what the infallibility of the Pope implies; and equally sure that you do not understand the teaching of • the 'Bible. I can at least claim that 30 years of continuous study of the Bible have given me some knowledge of its teachings. And I scarcely think that any listener, however he disagrees with my utterances in certain matters, will accuse me of being a particularly stupid man. And if I accept the infalhbility of the Pope, as I undoubtedly do, then you should conclude that that idea is not stupid, but that there must be something in it which you fail to see As a matter of fact, you do even understand the concept you ,n easily dismiss. The Catholic Church would rathei accept tradition than the Bible. The Catholic Church does rely upon Christian tradition, as well as upon the Bible, But you are wrong in thinking that the Church attach.., greater v alue to tradition than to Holy Scrip. titreShe does not do so.

I cannot but commend your ..:t to live up to your conscientiou. When I was in trouble some time ago, a Catholic girl gave me a Catholic medal of religious significance, &ad r emembered me in her prayers. My troubles disappeared. I have been happy t in mind and heart, and have beea blessed in many ways some hen. Those are facts you wish me to interpret in accordance with your f.S• lowing questions. As they state yoef vfir problem clearly, we will take their. order
Have the medal and the Cathoksc prayers of this girl any bearing on my welfare. or is it that life is merely serving me in good stead by a natural sequence of events?

The Protestant Conscience Would I be doing wrong in the ev....= of God by the Catholic practice of w earing such a medal and saying the same prayers for myself as my Catholic friend says for my rood even though I have no intention of joining the Catholic Church.

But whether you would be rieht wrong in adopting such practices will depend upon your own conseence. If You think you are doing wrong. it would be wrong of you to de so. If you sincerely believe that ela are not doing wrong, then you are instified ids your action.

FOR THE WORLD ureat care is taken of the scientitle and professional education of the members of the Society. Obviously this is a matter of the first importance if they desire t hat the work should always be adapted to the special needs of their own day. Thus is it wisely written in the Constitution: "The Superior General must take care that the scientific and professional education of the members of the Society shall be undertaken by persons of outstanding ability, so that the intellectual standard may be in accord with legitimate needs." Many of the candidates have already received before their entrance, a sufficient scientific education, as quite a number of them have already studied at Those whose some university. education has not been sufficient are induced to make this good by personal study and by special classes. Thus it may happen often enough that a member of the Society, after finishing her noviciate. may be required for a certain time to give herself to some prescribed theoretical or practical study. The Training of Individuals. Side by side with the collective instruction and training of the many novices together. great care is devoted to the training of each individual, both in supernatural and in natural things. A s the members at the close of their training have generally to play some part in the world in a freer and more independent way than is possible for many others, it is a matter of absolute necessity that each should develop strength of character sufficient first to surmount the ordinary difficulties in the spiritual life, and further to lead them at critical moments to show responsiThey will bility and decision. be obliged to adapt themselves to circumstances. conditions and sitnations of great diversity and c omplexity.

That is why the tests and even the exercises of the noviciate are n . ot the same for all. Though it unnecessary to add there are m any exercises in common, there r emain a number of exercises Which, in fact. are regulated for e ach by the mistress of novices.

better. An active life which is not partly contemplative is w orthless. The active life, therefore, must be by way of an addition. The Grail has understood this from the beginning, and therefore at its Mother House, side by side with the Novices, there are professed members of the Society, that is those who have already taken their vows, who are given up wholly and entirely to a life of contemplative prayer. This may be for life, or for a short period. This. of course, does not relieve the individual members of the Society from all those spiritual exercises of meditation or contemplation without which any active work can only fail miserably. It doe: however, tend to emphasise in their minds the paramount necessity of never losing oneself in active work, and of never allowing active work to obliterate the fundamental necessities of the spiritual life, and above all the necessity of unceasing prayer to Almighty God. Occasionally one of the Grail Ladies, after a period of prolonged activity will be recalled to the Mother House to lead a wholly contemplative life. They all return from time to time, according to Rule, to make a Retreat and a renewal of their fundamental purposes. The rule prescribes that they should retire to a house of prayer for one day every month, for one month every year. apcl for one year in every five.

Our Lady and The Dog
What is the J.O.C.?
6turies about Our Lady and the birds are common, but it has been left to the research of the scholarly Father Herbert Thurston, S.J., to find us a story about Our Blessed Lady and a dog. The learned Jesuit unearths it from an ancient Ethiopic manuscript. republished with others, under the editorship of Sir E. Wallis Budge. Keeper of Egyptian Antiquities at the British Museum. Here it is, as Father Thurston transcribes it in the "Dublin Review": "Now one day there were two w omen \Vith our Lady Mary, and a thirsty dog came between them .and they drove him away, but our Lady Mary was exceedingly grieved when she saw how thirsty he was, and she wept. And the women said to her. 'Wilt thou he more merciful to this dog than we? Shall not Christ, who is called the Messiah. be born of thee?' Now when our holy Lady heard these words. great toy entered her heart. Then taking up her water pitcher. she went to a place some distance a way. and haying put off her shoes from her feet, she poured water into one of them, and gave And the thirsty dog to drink. her: to said women the one of 'Why hast thou taken the water for him from thy pitcher. And if thy jar be broken thou wilt not find water elsewhere.' Then Our Lady Mary answered and said unto her: 'The water is not that which cometh forth from a well, hut from heaven, and God who bath given this thirsty dog water to drink gave it unto me from above.'" The meaning of this last sentence, writes Father Thurston, "I suppose is that all good gifts come from God, and that we are just as much dependent on Him The naras the animals are." rator of the little story ends with a prayer.
Catholic Counter Tactics. In lace of the evidence of untiring efforts being made to undermine Christian civilisation, it is interesting to note that French Catholics are organising a sustained effort to counteract the increased activities of t:ommunist agents in their midst. Foremost among those engaged in this holy warfare are the members of the J.O.C., the Catholic Working Youth Organisation. which has been declared by the Pope to be the "ideal of Catholic Action realised,and which the Archbishop of Bordeaux now salutes as the m ost c omplete positive response to Communist action. It is realised that the great task of French Catholics to-day is the creation of an atmosphere. a milieu. favourable to Catholic thought and action, and the formation of syndicates or unions of militant Calmlir workers. As a first essential step towards the accomplishment of this task, the spiritual formation of individual jocistes j tlrst insisted on. Care is taken. however, to emphasise the fact that the J.O.C. is not a moyemcrn-. for s piritual and moral format' only. It is insisted that it quite frankly a school of soc;:C propaganda, and as such it provides practical training of a professional type. It is a *movement of conquest, for it seeks to impress upon the youth of France that it is not sufficient to si li o ver the evils of the times, but that action is a necessity, for the Christian life must now he lived fully in all manifestations of personal. family. professional, .and social activity.

Coming to Western Australia in 1857, the sphere of his subsequent unremitting labours em'braced a vast extent of country extending from Busselton in the south to Northampton in the central north. The greater part of his active missionary career, however, was spent in the districts of Greenough.

During these years his efforts to supply the ministrations of religion to all entrt3sted to his care, no matter how distant, might well be described as superhuman. He swam flooded rivers, he risked his life in journeys through the trackless bush, he slept upon the bare ground in far solitudes, he covered in the saddle distances eighty or one hundred miles in a single day—and all these things he regarded as mere commonplaces, part of the routine of his duty.

All 1 know definitely is that _Adolphe Joseph Lecaille was naturalised as a British subject by Act of Parliament on November 18, 1859. He was then in charge of the Bunbury parish, which included the whole of the SouthWest as we know it now. It was on February 25, 1865, that Father Lecaille set foot on the shores of Champion Bay. He had been placed in charge of the district by the late Bishop Griver who, at that time, was administering the diocese of Perth, in which the present Geraldton was included.

On March 23, 1900, after thirtyfive years' service in the district, he was transferred to Busselton, w hich had enjoyed his earliest ministrations, and which was then known as the Vasse. He did not want any fuss made about his departure. He announced it only on the morning of the day he left.

to his great reward on May 7, 1908. I have spoken of the great missioner as 'Father Lecaille,' because it was the name He was an Archhe prized. deacon long before I can remember, and he was elevated to that rank by the administrator of the diocese, the Very Very Martin Griver, later Bishop of Perth. But 'Father Lecaille' he was atfectionately called by all. If this were merely a monument to his memory he would not have liked it—such vas his profound humility. An incident in his life Towards tends to show that. the end of 1865 he met with a serious accident at Northampton, and he thought his end was approaching. "Bury me in the bush, if you wish," he repeatedly cried, "but think of my soul." Here is something more than a monument, to \A•hich his good works entitle him ; here is also a mortuary chapel, where the Holy Sacrifice %yin be offered and prayers said in keeping with his request of seventy years ago. In fulfilment of his desire we are thinking of his soul. Our esteemed Bishop has thought of his soul, and the complete manner in which His Lordship has shown his recognition of the heroic sacrifices of the pioneer missioner will meet with widespread appreciation. and I hope practical support as well."
E. Boschetti, of Geraldton. The late Father Lecaille wished to be buried in the bush, and in that district. Continuing, the Bishop paid a tribute to the Cemetery Board, and particularly Messrs. Hardwicke and Nilen, for the work they had done in laying out that cemetery, which was a credit to the town. Certainly Father Lecaille was buried in a beautiful spot. There was not much he could say about Father Lecaille after what the Hon. J. M. Drew had said. He knew that he had inherited the fruits of his work. Father Lecaille's labours commenced in this district in 1865, and he remained until 1900. A little later he returned and took up the work again, and would have liked to have died in the district. But that was not to be. Ile, however, wished to be buried here. and he (the Bishop) had been most anxious to bring the remains back. He was delighted they had been able to carry that into effect.

ed it to publish the new decrec: of June 27. As a rule the Soviet press is reluctant to publish figures, from which definite conclusions may be drawn. but when it is thought necessary to convince the public of the importance of some new measure certain figures are given to impress' it. On July 12 "Isvestia" published figures of the number of births and abortions which took place in 1934 in the hospitals and nursing homes. For the whole Union these figures were: Births, 873.672; abortions. 853,713. For Moscow alone: Births, 57,100; abortions, 154,584, the abortion, being three times the number of births in the capital of the U.S.S.R. Such figures are staggering, and if it is remembered that many more abortions took place outside hospitals and were performed by non-specialists. the government's alarm is easily understood. In view of this the new measure appears merely a women necessity to protect w hose health was being permanently ruined, and so safeguard the population which. in spite of boastful assurances of a tremendous increase of some three millions per year, seems actually to have increased throughout the last years at a much slower rate.

It was his pleasing duty- he said. representing His Grace the Archbishop of Perth, to address a few words of welcome to Miss Van Kersbergen and her companions of the Grail Society. Their arrival marked a new phase in the Catholic history of Australia. They came not as preachers of a new Gospel but as proud custodians of the old, bearing living testimony to the varied activity of the Church's life and to her undying devotedness to the seiritual welfare of those entrausted t o her care. Pressing problems of international import that hourly hat rass her onward march did not make her unmindful of her children in countless lands, nor render her inactive against the evils that threatened to sap her inward life. Of old she saved the world from barbarian and T::rkish invasion alike, and preserved to posterity the cherished monuments of authority. No human pen could write her epitaph: fOr no imagination could adequately realise her glories To-clay she was combating old vices • th new names, confronting hostile riders with the same spirit with which she confronted Attila, warning them against the countless evils of cont: —ting civilisation upon anti-Christi - !- planks.

Eight secular priests, eight Jesuits, four Marist Sisters, were noticed among the throng on . deck. Ferhaps the most eagerly awaited visitors were the five Ladies of the Grail, who are en route to Sydney to make their first An'trahan foundation. The Catholic women of Perth had, therefore, the honour of extending t the Women of Nazareth the first welcome to Australian shores.

In Europe the anti-God campaign is very strong, and only hard work and study will succeed against it, Fascism in Italy, iNational Socialism in Germany, Communism in Russia, are all more or less fighting against God, and they do not mind what sacrifices they make to attain their ends. To counteract this menace all must unite with the priests in one organisation—united Catholic .Action—just as there is one Shepherd and one fold. The idea of the Grail is to help and advise ladies and girls living in the world to act up to the principles of their holy faith and show by their general conduct that the Catholic Church is quite modern in every way. Some of the activities of the Grail can be learned from the fact that in the Albert Hall in London- 12,000 girls took part in the production of Francis Thompson's 1411ound of Heaven." They were doing all in their power to increase Catholic culture, art and fashion.: In conclusion, she hoped that the Catholic womtn of Perth would prepare the way for the Grail movement when it should come to Western Australia.

Mission, for instance, there are four priests, five brothers, and six nuns entirely devoted to the care of the natives. The attitude of the Government towards financing religious missions to the aboriginals has always mystified me. One would think that the authorities, always apparently suffering' from financial stringency. would be glad to see the work done efficiently and economically, and you'd be willing to grant liberal a ssistance to the missions. The expenditure on the two main Government aboriginal undertakings in this State, the Moola fioola and Moore River Native Settlements, must be very great. According to the report of the late Royal Commission, the latter settlement alone costs the Government £5,000 annually.

Correspondence To the Editor. Sir,—In a recent issue of your journal you thought fit, in commenting upon my part in the formation of the Soviets- for the Promotion of Cultural Relations with the Peoples of the Soviet Union, to insinuate (1) That I am subtly propagating t 'ommunism. (2) that in my capacity of Professor of Law in this University I am disseminating subversive doctrines. I have no objection to fair criticism: on the contrary, as one who has consistently championed of freedom thought and intellectual honesty, I welcome it. But there is a point at whii-h fair criticism ends and defamation begins; and on the next occasion when your journal oversteps that point, I shall instruct my solicitors to take action on my behalf. That I have not done so on this occasitin is solely due to the friendship which I have been privileged to enjoy with the Archbishop of Perth and his predecessor, the late Dr. Clune: for the same reason I am sending a copy of this letter to Dr. Prendiville.—Yours faithfully, F.

The Aboriginal Problem. VIII. The Aboriginal Mission Holy Father's Command (By V. H. W.)
T
'
L.
HESE articles will have failed in their object if they have not made it :-easonably clear that since the v, line invasion of Australia the tot of our country's aboriginal p„.pulation has been a sorry lot indeed, and that at the present the remnant of that populatioa arc treated with hardship an.i neglect in place of the jusL,,- c• and charity that is their due our duty. To quote the RI.v. Father McGovern, P.P., of NeN South Wales: "We of the white race have decreed for our's a triumph in colonising A ustralia. Our triumphal arch is built of aboriignal bones; harnessed to our chariot are the souls we have damned!" I have also tried to make it plain that from the Catholic point of view the only reparation we can make is by bringing them the light of the Faith, and that this can only be done at the present day by more or less completely segregating the aborigines on religious missions. There are officially supposed to he more than 29,000 aborigines in this State at the present day. Of these not more than 2.000 come under the influence of the religious missions. Of the remainder, including the vast majority of the 4,000 half-castes, it may be truthfully said that for them religion does not exist: they have as little chance of knowing and loving their God as any class of people on the face of the earth, and there is little evidence that we as a race apply, in our relations with them. what Christian principles we possess. Catholic missions are relatively numerous in this State, yet in all they have under their influence less than 1,000 aborigines. Is it any wonder that the Holy Father has recently expressed his con. cern at the state of the Australian aboriginal? Speaking in Melbourne in 193-1, His Excellency the former Apostolic Delegate, the Most Reverend Dr. Bernadini, referred to his great interest in the Australian abctrigitia1. "Not only am I complying with the Holy Father's wishes, but I am obeying his specific order," he said. "One of my instructions—perhaps the most emphatic—is that I must f oster as far as possible the work of the propagation of the Faith, and above all, the Aboriginal Mission. . . . You must do your utmost to make of these poor creatures good citizens, and cancel for ever this weak spot on t he national life of Australia.. It is not necessary, I hope, to insist at length before a Catholic audience that natives on missions are in fact happier and better off in almost every way than natives in the bush, working on stations. or on non-religious government s ettlements. It is often said that On stations the natives are well t reated and happy. Their happiness is, however, of the purely animal order. As Bishop Gibney said in 1892, "They are made useful animals, nothing more, nor can anything more he expected." f do not claim that missions are
perfect institutions, but no unbiassed person can see the work of a mission, even a non-Catholic mission, and not realise with t hankfulness that here is treatment on a different basis, and happiness of a different kind. Here you have an institution inspired by Divine Charity and b ased upon Catholic ideals, controlled by men and women whose object is sot to be happy or to make money, but to strive for the temporal and eternal welfare of their black charges, and who have made great sacrifices in order to devote their lives to this object. You have an institution where the native is engaged in congenial work on his own country, and segragated from the influence of undesirable whites, where a woman is not the prey of every low white whose lusts move in her direction. You have an attempt to replace the lost culture of the aboriginal race with something infinitely better. something that will raise the aboriginal to the full dignity of humanity, and make his life really worth living. It would be strange indeed if under these circumstances mission inmates were not a great deal better off than their unfortunate brethren. My own experience, and I have seen a good deal of the work of a typical non-Catholic mission, is that the more I saw of mission life the more firmly I became convinced that only in this sphere does the aboriginal at the preesnt day have anything like a chance to lead a decent existence. It is also obvious. I think, to a fair-minded observer, that Catholic missions are much less imperfect institutions than those conducted by non-Catholic sects. I mean this in a general way, and without reference to any particular institution. The purely practical difficulties in conducting a non-Catholic mission are very great. The superintendent or superior of an aboriginal mission must possess _organising and administrative ability; he must have intelligence, ingenuity, and foresight; he must have character and personaility of a high order; he must have an accurate knowledge of aboriginal character and customs, and a persevering faith in his work. Above all he must be trained to an ordered and disciplined life so that he may progress in the spiritual life amid distractions and I do not deny temptations. that such men exist in the nonCatholic denominations. but it is rarely that among them such men receive a "call" to the AborAnuaw iginal Mission Field. the Catholic clergy, and especially in the religious Or2.ers, such men are not rare, and every Catholic Mission in Western Australia is guided by men who have long experience and exceptional qualifications for their work. The presence of a community of nuns s upplies something on a Catholic mission that is of extreme value, and is not found on the others.

The Dean and Determinism It %%as reported front London during the week that. the former Dean Gf St. Paul's. Dr. Inge, had questioned the efficacy of prayers for the sick and for rain. Needless to relate this type of oldfashioned denial took place at the Modern Churchman's Conference Oxf6rd. Dean Inge has become known as the "gloomy (lean," tot because his doubts of Christian fundamentals fill the Christian world with apprehensive forebodings of the possible falsity of divine revelation, but because his denials arise out of a heart of despair, a strange negative hotch-potch of scientific fatalkm, confusion about God's omniscience and the nature of freewill. The dean has striven pitifully to be an ultra-modern, but he has succeeded only in being more and more evidently the inevitable product of the old-tashioned Protestantism. *
.
*
The Dean's doubts about the efficacy of prayer are based on a child-like misapprehension about the "laws" of Nature combined His line of thought is somewith ar almost Oriental fatalism. what like this: "Certain atmospheric conditions inevitably accompany or produce rain. If these conditions prevail on Thursday it will rain. That is how God from all eternity has arranged Thursday's weather. Therefore it is of no avail to pray for fine weather on Thursday, because Nature under God's direction has decided on t ain." Or in the case of the sick: "What is to be, will be. The date of everyone's death is definitely settled by God. Therefete prayer can make no difference." In regard to the latter. the ktis: is obviously absurd. If the date of one's death is preordained (it is certainly known to God). then medicine, doctors, and ordinary care of the health are ridiculous. One might as well walk out of the window of a ten-storey building as take the lift, for if that is not the day appointed, then death will not take place. do what one will. • The tl- er matter of praying for tine or wet weather is simply In the strict sense the word a confusion over the word "law." signifies a decree or command, in the loose sense in which one refers to "law s of Nature" it simply denotes some observed uniform mode of action or behaviour in phenomena. That there are certain observed sequences of events does not justify the assumption that the,ie sequences are the result of some inexorable compulsion somc intr;nsic and absolute necessity emerging out of the nature of the universe or that the usual course of affairs is the inevitable one. The observed course of Nature is due to the action o f div, le power, which, having certain ends in view, attains them in the most suitable way. So long as the ends remain the same, the means t their attainment will not vary. but a variation in the ends will bring about a corresponding variation in the means. God's ends are not decided progressively, for to Him all is eternally present Prayers of petition were heard by Him in eternity beThat they could prevail with fore the were tittered in time.

CATHEDRAL BRANCH. The attendance at Holy Communion and at the evening meeting, though good, was not so large as on former occasions. Perhaps the boisterous weather was somewhat responsible. The prefects are anticipating a record roll-call at the 'October meeting, as an enrollment of new members will take place on the evening of Sunday, October 11. It was noticed that a greater number of men joined in the singing of the hymns. Rev. Father Kelly delivered the evening lecture on -Married life as it should be lived."

Ile also reported on the branch's visit to Cotteslue on August 19, where the inter-branch table tennis and quoits competition was held, and which resulted in Cottesloe winning the table tennis and St. Patrick's the quoits.

The secretary nominated Mr. Clancy, senr., and Mr. Clancy, juin... for Iller11. bership Final arrangements were made for the bridge and rummy party to be held at Sister Clear's residence in aid of the Hibernian Stall in the bazaar. It was reported that nine members from the branch participat erl in the. annual retreat at the Monastery, which was a wonderful privilege for those who were able to take part in it. Bro. Ken Hales was elected as treasurer in place of Sr. E. Hart ( now Chegwidden) The secretary advised the members that our chapplain had been appointed ae parish priest at Pinjarra and this, therefore, would be the last meeting that he would be able to attend before trans. ferring to his new parish. He referred to the wonderful assistance that Father Russell had always given to the branch, and said that the members would miss him very much indeed. The president said that the members would very much regret the news that had been imparted to them. The members had become so used to seeing Rather Russel! at the meetings that his absence would he keenly felt. The National Treasurer, Bro. J. NV Whitely, said that- although it was inevitable that Father Russell should annimas
leave the Leederville Psuish, nevertheless every parishioner would regret the necessity for his departure. They were all, however, delighted that he had been .appointed to the charge of a parish, and Pinjarra was a very fortunate town to have such a splendid priest allocated to it. The president then• on behalf of the members, presented Father Russell with a small token of their esteem. Father Russell, in responding, said that it had always been a great pleasure for him to associate with the members of St. Mary's Branch. He had been in the parish for about four and a half years and it had been a period of happiness for him. He hoped that the branch and the society would continue to flourish, because he recognised that it was a splendid factor in the Catholic organisation. If ever he had an opportunity of benefitting the society he would certainly avail himself of it. A fter the meeting a branch debate on the subject "That the Talkies are beneficial to the community" took place between teams composed of Bros. J. Edwards, senr., A. G. Laddiss, and Ken Hales, on the affirmative side, and Bros. . NV. Whitely, Les .fohnston negative and Jack Edwards, on the sidk. Bro.

Subiaco The uproarious reception given the ever-popular 'Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag- was but a forerunner of the encouraging success of the second of the series of the community concerts held on the 10th. inst., and to be conducted regularly in the coming season at St- Joseph's Hall. Subiaco. This concert was an initial effort on the part of the young men of the parish, and judging by the ease with which they assembled the very creditable crowd of participants, as well as the many artists and performers in the "amateur trials," future attempts of theirs to run entertainments should meet with the very hest of success.
Special mention must be given to the very enthusiastic singing 01 of the youths of the district who gathered together at the back of the hall. In fact so very uproarious were their youthful efforts that adults in their near vicinity had moments of discomfort when the song happened to be a
popular one.
The first prize oft the amateur trials was awarded to Alan Jones, a very' able exponent of the accordeon. His performance, however, was one of seven amateurs who all deserve worthy mention if only for the courage which enabled them to face tht crem-cled hall, "alone and unaided," and to oblige the listeners with their best talents. Rev. Father Johnston fittingly provided the necessary words to cap the entertainment. Hie sincere thanks for the splendid attendance or the parishioners. admiration for the visiting artists 'wtse so willingly supplied entertainment• congratulations to the organisers. and a special mention to Mr. Frank Jones, who conducted the concert in the absence of Mr. Sanderson. were applauded loudly and at length. The wish was expressed br all present that the concert would be repeated within the fortnight. Why should we depend on outside entertainment when we quite nossible have in our midst talents which merely need exploiting? The next community concert has been definitely fixed for Thursday, October 1. in St. Joseph's Hall. The young men organisers hope this time to have a record attendance. Bus Picnic. A bus picnic -to Canning Dam has been arranged for Sunday, September 27. The charge will be 3s. and the buses will leave St. Joseph's Hall at 10.30 a m., and those desirous of making the trip are asked to hand their names to Mr. P. Glynn. ionrs or Mr. T.

It is only fitting that a church dedicated to St. Columba should seek its inspiration in the Book of Kells, for some authorities ascribe that masterpiece to the saint himself. To that fount of inspiration the artist has gone to give us in those three small panels an example of that interlacing, each distinct and new, and in his blending of colours has enriched the window with three diamonds in stained glass. The window was designed by Mr. P. J. King. and made by the well known firm of harry Clarke Stained Glass Ltd., 6 North Frederick -street, Dublin. A Memorial Window.

ENGLISH HISTORY. By G. K. CHESTERTON.) The Ages of Faith. In becoming more and more solidly certain of such a thing as a truth, one loses the temptation to exaggerate it as a challenge. A fair statement of the transition from the Middle Ages would, I think. be something like this: W ith that change the world improved in many things, but not in the one thing needful; the one thing that can make them It did not become all one. more universal; it became much less universal:. for it only picked up and polished the fragment of a shattered universe. In other words, the improvement was the sort of improvement which is seen when medicine becomes purely specialist or football becomes purely professional. The medieval man was really ruder and more ineffective in many ways; but his outlook on life was really larger and more human. The Modern Era. Thus the revival of learning Nv a • not an extension of learning; the public schools ceased to More genbe popular schools. tlemen learnt Greek, but fewer Thus peasants learnt Latin. the Reformation intensified religion into sects; but it was no longer possible to reconcile men through religion. Thus in the drama, it is obvious that greater plays were produced. but fewer people produced them. Shakespeare emerged to make fun of Snout and Snug producing a play; but there vas something to be said for the old guild theatre in which all the Snouts and Stings could produce plays. literature grew more finished becance language grew more lioished: lint for good and evil it was narrowed into national languages: there was no Ionizer a really European Esperanto. In a hundred ways human beings had lost the conception of a complete humanity. A Contrast. The application of this to Eng• lish history can easily he made by an example in English literature.

They are both symbolical pageants of human life under the light of religion. Nobody will deny that the Puritan masterpiece is a more complete and coherent work of art; for the national language and literature have become m ore complete and coherent. But if it comes to broadmindedness, to brotherhood, to a survey of the migo.ttv world, of problem. every class, every every political ideal, then Bunyan is burrowing in a hole while

Langland is standing on a mountain. It is very right and even very glorious that Bunyan's s tatue at Bedford should "stand facing the place where he lay in gaol:" but there stands no statue on the Malvern Heights, where the great tribune of the Middle Ages saw his vision of justice for the whole world; the corporate common people gathered into one gigantic figure. labouring through clouds and confusions, till .in the last phase of mystery. he turns on us the terrible face of Christ.

NEW MUSIC ACQUIRED. St. Mary's cathedral Choir have secured three new Masses, by Guonod, Kitson and Dr. Wardle. Guonod's naturally is not new, but it, as well as the others, has never been sung in W.A. It apparently for some reasons was neglected by choirs and went out of print, but was recently reprinted by Cary's, and has been enthusiastically received, and is now being sung by the leading choirs of England. It will be heard for the first time at the Missa It has a Cantata on October 4. semi-Gregorian "Kyrie," and in parts is strongly reminiscent of his "Mors et Vita." The Mass of Kitson. No. 2, in C Minor, is similar to his Mass in D, and is done in the modern style. with a plain chant "Credo." Dr. Wardle's Mass of St. Michael is strictly liturgical in form, and contains no "Credo." the congregation being supposed to sing it.

An important part of the spirit of Christian charity impels Catholics to seek that spark of goodness which is usually to be found even in things evil. In the present instance the application of this moral can be made to the philosophy of Herr Hitler. It is very rarely that Catholics
have, of late years, been able to acclaim anything in the German scheme of things as sound or
even reasonable. But the following words from the Fuehrer might have been uttered after a meditation in the Epistles of St. Paul
Speaking at the Nuremberg Nazi Congress, and apparently alluding to the romen soldiers in the Soviet Red Army, and perhaps to the Red "Carmens" in Spain. Herr Hitler, addressing the Nazi women's organisation on Saturday, said:
"We shall see that there are no detachments of hand grenade girls or women sharpshooters and the like in Germany . From our standpoint, the woman who rears children and thus safeguards the existence of the future of our people has done more than any learned woman." Herr Hitler ridiculed the view abroad that the German woman was being treated as a slave. "What some people regard as a yoke is held by others to he a blessing." he said. "Nature acted wisely in allotting to man the task of protecting the family and the nation."
A PLEA FOR HOME LIFE. A Visitor on the Modern Girl. "Home life is the best life for girls and it is one of the weaknesses of to-day that there is so little home life left,- said Lady
Holder, widow of the late Sir Frederick Holder. first Speaker of the Federal Parliament. Lady Holder has come to Perth from Adelaide to attend he triennial convention of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, and despite her 80 years is as active as many of the younger delegates and as enthusiastic regarding the work of the union as when she first took it up 49 years ago. " The trouble with the modern girl is that she is never content to stay at home. She must be off doing a job which probably could be done by a man. I am not speaking of those girls who have to earn a living, but of those who are bored at home. 'When she marries she knows little of the art of home-making and still less about the care of children.

In honour ot her approaching marriage to Mr. Arthur McEwan, Miss Mary Bridgma,n was entertained at an evening in the Cathedral Hall on Thursday, 10th. inst., arranged by members of the Catholic Young Ladies' Club. Miss Molly McMahon's orchestra supplied the music for dancing, which was interspersed with games. Items were given by a number of artists. Miss Teresa O'Sullivan gained loud applause with a violin solo, "May Song," and played a Mazurka for an encore. Recitations by Mr. Jack Lynch, entitled The Man From Lafayette" and "The Whitest Man I Know," were much enjoyed: while a medley of popular airs, played on an accorcleon. by Mr. Harold Taylor, was rendered to an appreciative audience.
Communists in Spain who, according to Press reports, were guilty of outraging nuns and crucifying a priest on a church door head downwards, were characterised by the _Archbishop of Brisbane (Most Rev.

IN THE NAME OF EUGENICS W hatever may be said of liberty, it is certain that crime is c ommitted in the name of statistics. Statisticians the are worthy folk. If they are falling into disfavour, it is not for their own sins, but because of their friends, who substitute for science a kind of numerology which can recall the past, reveal the present, and forecast the future. These are the gentry who, as the New York "Times" remarks in a recent editorial on sterilisation, ,revel in "statistical gossip." No topic has been discussed more frequently in our State legislatures during the last decade than sterilisation. Wherever thc subject is dragged in. i cloud of

statistics is sure to darken the sun. Legislators, many of whom gained their knowledge of science from the Sunday supplements, stun our ears with dogmatic pronouncements on heredity-, race culture, and other matters, about which honest investigators confess doubt or complete ignorance. Thus is the common mind deceived, for reports signed by scientists are usually too dull to win the attention of the public. One point, however: is certain, and that is that the sterilisation laws of our States are not based on the tested conclusions of science. Last year, the British Departmental Committee on Sterlisation reported that, in view of how little is known of heredity. laws providing for the sterilisation of the supposedly "unfit" could have no justification in science. More recently, a committee of the American Neurological A ssociation, working under a grant from the Carnegie Foundation. made a study of sterilisation, with particular reference to its supposed effect in checking the spread of mental diseases and of feeble-mindedness. Its conclusions are substantially those of the British Committee. A s the "Times" observes, until we learn mire about the subject.

"it is simply folly to place on the books laws which reflect the good intentions of enthusiasts rather than the finding of sober biologists." A common argument for sterilisation laws is an emotional picture of this country completely overrun by Nams. Jukes, and The picture has no Kallikaks. warrant from what we know of the facts. As a rule, psychotic individuals are not so fertile as the general population. and the death rate among them is higher. Again, the off-spring of mentally handicapped parents may he normal, while definitely feeble-minded children may be born of parents classed above the mental average. From whatever angle the problem is viewed, no argument valid in science can be offered to sustain sterilisation laws. Yet twenty-five States have enacted this legislation. A number of other States followed suit, but the statutes were rejected by the local courts. In twenty-five States, the law affects feebleminded, insane, and epileptic subjects; in ten, habitual sex offenders; and in two. habitual criminals. In most of the States the law is practically inoperative. Of about • 16,000 operations registered up to the end of 1934, .more than half were performed in one State. California. However, a survey conducted by the United Press shows that the law was enforced in about 4.000 cases in 1935, which would indicate -a sharp rise in the rate. In discussing sterilisation, a distinction of vital importance must he drawn. Does the law affect both criminals and the mentally defective, or is it restricted to the first class? It maxindeed be plausibly argued that the state may sterilise a man actually- guilty of crime, yet only when this is necessary to protect the common good. But it may not sterilise any one on the ground that at some futtire time he may become a criminal. Against this possibility, other measures may be taken; further. as Pius XI .teaches in the Encyclical on Christian Marriage, "public magistrates have no direct power over the bodies of their subjects." In no case, however. may the State sterilise anyone merely because he is "feeble-minded," a dangerous term, because of its vagueness, in criminal law, or because he is mentally sick. To quote Pius XI. again. magistrates can never directly harm or tamper with the integrity of the body, either for reasons of eugenics, or for any other reason." Sterilisaton is in these cases an unwarranted violation of human dignity. and the destruction of a right which man doe not hold from the state, but from God

I myself had tried for years to make the children understand the beauty of the different devotions 01 the Church. I took them to Holy Mass as often as possible (it was celebrated in the hall where the Christmas tree and other amusements were held) so their little minds couldn't grasp the teal meaning of it, but after their first fortnight with the Sisters at Wagin, what a change! One could hardly believe a fortnight in the care of the priest and Sisters had done in the hundredfold what I had tried in years to do. It is a wonderful thing to talk of from one year to the next, and Mary and Dennis are eagerly looking forward to it. I miss spiritual helps dreadfully myself, for I was born, as the beside one would say, almost church walls, and when I came to West Australia twelve years ago and realised that the nearest church was about 100 miles away, I can't tell you how I felt. I was in Wagin when Mary was born, and was able to visit your little chapel and the church. That was the last time I was able to be present at Benediction. but I look for the time when things will improve and will be able to go, if only once in a while. Still. God has been good to me. and I am indeed thankful that my children can go to you. I only wish I was a child that I could come to you too, for life in the bush is hard without the uplifting comfort of being able to visit the church. Pray for me sometimes while the children are with you, and may God bless you and all who are working for our children in the bush.

"The Beast That Roams Under The Name of Communism"
Carthusian Leaders Picked Out During Forced March T wenty-tour priests and 1.3 lay-brothers were caught by Reds who invades the Carthusian monastery at Montalegro, near Barcelona. were They marched three abreast to Badalona, 15 kilometres from Barcelona. Before starting, however, the Reds demanded to know who were the superiors. The Prior and the Procurator came forward. They were ordered to get into a cart With two women and were takerl on ahead. The others, following, later came upon the Prior and Procurator lying in a ditch. They were prevented from stopping, but they learnt later that the Procurator, wounded, had been left for dead. Later the Procurator related what had happened. They had been ordered to get down from the cart. The procurator, guessing the fate that was in store tor nim, knelt down berore the prior and asked for absolution. A Red interrupted them say. mg: "All this is not necessary... 1:hereupon one of the women in the cart shot the prior. He (lied with three bullets in his &lead. The women wen shot at the procurator, wounding bun. \\ hen the other monks had passed the scene of the murder, kney were asked if there was stili a superior among them. The sub-prior and the oldest member c.)t the community came forward. The Reds bound them and shot them in the back. Even that was not the end, for w hen the procession had marched on a little further, the sanatorium chaplain and another monk were shot. The survivors were eventually picked up by a bus and taken where, to the Mayor's house after being given bread and water, they stayed the night. A fter being kept in prison for six days, they secured release through the efforts of the French Consul. Daily Execution of Captured Priests and Nuns. A "Daily Telegraph" correspondent in Perpignan, quoting a prominent Englishman in Barcelona, says: "Every morning there is heavy firing between 2 and 3 a.m. This, I have discovered, is the execution of the day's captures of priests, nuns, Fascists or obstinate factory The firing lasts for at owners. least an hour." Talking to a "Daily Mail" reporter. Mrs. James Delaney, of Miblin. who had been visiting f riends in Barcelona, said that r ecently she saw a priest being beatea by a crowd. "When he appeared to he s enseless." she said. "they tied him to a car with a rope iound Then they drove off. his feet. dragging him along the cobble s tones.
Eye-Witnesses Tell of A trocities of Spanish Reds Wholesale Slaughter of Priests and Nuns • Many years ago Freemtiscau-y reatuted tue Spailisia inteliectuiiili in an anti-t•nu,ca movement. 'Atie last dtwacie ox cue Iwth. century saw the that seeds ot 0ciainixi sown among the pop ulat.e. sue u...-usummailon 01 "culturai relations' with Soviet Russia suinceti to complete tne anti-Goo ixont. It ' .as the subversive activiutes ox this unscrupulous coterie which precipitated the present terrible Civil War. Our local news organs have not given elementary justice to the case ot the Spanish national forces, dub mug them such comic names as -rebels," -ilisageuts," and -insurrec.onists, while the whuiesome memory of the Government troops has been perpetuated in the title -loyalists. While a few atrocities against priests and nuns have been reported, the general trend of the cables aimed at impressing tile Australian pubuc with a profound respect for the incredible viri,ue of the Government troops. We r eprint below the other side of the story.
"As the car passed below my window, I noticed some bodies lying in the back, which I took to be those of other priests as a girl standing on the running board was wearing a black cleri• cal hat. "When the car swung round the corner I saw the priest's head hang against the pavement." Below are more stories told to the "Daily Mail": " When we left for the coast. one of our trains was searched, and nine Spanish priests, who were trying to escape, were loundt
"They were bundled int the luggagt. s.- an, and when the train reached Valencia they were taken into the square and shot in cold blood." "In their efforts to capture a priest who had locked himself in the church of St. Ignacio. the Reds threw bombs, shattering the stained-glass windows. The priest climbed the belfry. fell, and was killed." Bestiality.
"To batter off the head of a dying priest, to outrage a girl little more than a child, and then riddle her with machine-gun bullets—these are the pastimes of
tiic beast that roams under the :Lame of Communism,- said Mr. Wyatt Hayward, who, after being for many years in- business in Madrid. has just returned to England. Mr. Hayward, looking helplessly on, has seen, he reports, the burning of churches—at one time 21 were in flames simultaneously—looting, and the wholesale massacre of priests. "Such be ality," he said, "must sicken the whole world." Priests Shot at Altars. "Atrocities are committed hourly. The mere shooting of priests at their altars is no longer counted as such by the few people who are not savages. "They committed the most horrible .atrocties. Priests were lined up and shot wholesale." Anarchists Arrest and Then Murder 18 Brothers. The Rector of the Hospital of St. John of God at Scorton. Yorks, informs the "Universe" that 18 Brothers who had charge of infirm people and cripples at Carafell, near Barcelona, have been massacred by Reds. Thirteen were novices. Brothers of St. John of God at Barcelona itself have suffered the same fate.
