In dition the Protestant party must promise that he will not interfere with the religion of the Catholic wife: that he will grant her full freedom to practice her religion; and that all children of t lf• marriage will he brought up as Would a Protestant be doing right or wrong in becoming a Catholic for the sole purpose of marrying a Catholic girl. I: he became a Catholic merely for the purpose of such a marriage, he wo-,:ld be doing wrong. No man has the right to embrace a religion which he believes to be false for anybody on Religion is the face of this earth. concerned with the right of God. And God's rights cannot be sacrificed for the sake of any human being, or for What a any motives of expediency. Po-lestant could do is this: For the sake of the Catholic girl, he could undertake a study of the Catholic religion. and seek instruction in that Faith. Then, if he found that he did believe in it, he could become a Catholic for the sake of the religion itself. and for th%love of God, If he • f ound that he could not believe in it, he could not become a Catholic.

Does an Invalid Marriage Bind ? M. L., Queensland: if a Catholic marries a non-Catholic in a non-Catholic church, does the Catholic Church regard that marriage Sr valid and binding? It is not valid in the eyes of the CathrIl f• Church, nor in the sight of God_ T :;• -'' tate, of course, does not bother about these aspects, and would regala'. such a 'marriage as civilly valid If the Cathclic deserted such a nonCatholic wife, and married somebody else, would that be all right? Firstly, if he did that without getting a civil divorce, he would he guilty of bigamy in the eves of the civil law, and liable to heavy penalties. Secondly, if a Catholic marries a nonCatholic girl oUtside the Catholic r.hurch, even though such a marriage not valid in conscience, the man has
still contracted very serious obligations of justice. He persuaded a Protestant girl to go through a form of marriage with him—a form of mar. riage which she at least thought valid Such a man would do her a serious injustice, knowing that he was not obliging himself in conscience to the obligations of a valid marriage. That injustice he should repair by marrying her properly according to the laws of his own Church. Would a Catholic priest marry him to some other girl, knowing that the first marriage was not binding in conscience? Normally speaking he would refuse to do so. He would urge the man to rectify the first marriage, and he faithful to the girl he first invited to marry him. In rare cases, where the man has already secured a civil divorce so that civil obligations have been removed the Church could authorise a priest to assist at a marriage with another partner. because there had never been any but a civil bond in the first case. But this is exceptionalNormally speaking, his duty if a Catholic marries outside the Church his duty is to rectify that marriage according to Catholic requirements, and fulfil his duty to the innocent party whom he first invited to marry him.

or more nations are involved in war, individuals will have no option in the matter, but will be justified in fultilling military duties under compulsory legislation. And the Pope will not order them to do what will be morally impossible. Again, whilst you might think that the Pope "ought" to issue such a prohibition. in reality he has no obligation to do so. The Pope is not above his Master, Jesus Christ. There was plenty of political and social injustice in Our Lord's time, but He steadfastly refrained from denouncing it. The Jews wanted Christ to attack the unjust Roman oppression, but He kept silent, despite their efforts to get from Him some kind of "proRomans. nouncement" against the Nor did a word come from Our Lord's lips against 'the cruel injustices of slavery then afflicting so many human beings, He deliberately refused to deal with the special quarrels of individuals and nations. In St. Luke xii., 13, one of the multitude came to Him and said, "Master, speak to my brother that he divide the inheritance with me." But Jesus said, ''Man, who hath appointed me judge or divider over you?"

The Duty of The Church Are the churches game enough to tackle that drunken and inhuman vulture—the private credit mono. poly? Firstly, are you quite certain that w hat you call the drunken and inhuman vulture is ac drunken and in human as you think it to be? Again. are you ideas as to the way in which it ought to be tackled infallibly cossect? Thirdly, will the Church be fulfilling its duty only when it adopts the course of action You choose to prescribe for it? Finally, when Christ said to His Church, "Go. teach all nations all things whatsoever I have made known to von-" did His revela tion to His Apostles include the necessity of attacking private cre-lit monopolies? Do you approve of munition factories in England working 24 hours a day and 7 days a week? I approve neither of war, nor of the making of munitions for war, I do approve of the doctrine that a nation has the right to take such measures as are necessary for self-defence if there are grave reasons to fear that it may become involved in a war not of its own seeking.
English Munitions For Germany! Do you approve of English munitions being shipped to Germany by private firms under sealed orders—the munitions to be used by Germans to slaughter the very men who made them? Certainly it would not be lawaul tur a man to make bullets expressly for another to use against him. That would only be a form of suicide, which is quite unlawful. But, if an English munition factory did send arms to Germany, you can be quite sure that it would not do SO with the express intention of enabling Germany to blow up England. But take this viewpoint. If Germansconsiders that certain military measures are absolutely necessary for its self-preservation in the light of present circumstances in Europe, it is lawful for Germany to secure sufficient arms and ammunition either by And making them or buying them. if Germany is justified in buying them, then manufacturers are justified in selling to Germany the goods required. And it does not make an essential difference whether the manufacturing firm be Dutch, American. English, Italian. or French. "If" Russia invaded Germany, the munitions would be used against the Russians. 'Ti" England and Germany were to be involved in war. fhe munitions would be used against England -in chiding sonic of the very people who They simply made the munitions. made them for a present just price in order to supply the needs of a nation which was justified in providing for its self-protection against future possible disasters from whatever source You see that it is they might come. all a very tangled business, and not FO easily disposed of in a superficial way.
Have Others "Prior Claims"?
Upon what, then, do Christians base their claim that theirs is the only true religion? Upon the fact that other religions, apart from the Jewish, had merely . human authors, contain many errors, and in such doctrines as happen to be true, fail to rise above the merely natural level. On the other hand. C hristianity was comvneneed by One who proved His claim to be God, contains no errors, and rises to a supernatural level far above the capacity of any human mind and will left to their own resources. Surely Buddhists, the followers of Confucius, Jews, Mahornetans, to mention only a few great religious secs, have prior claim. r OLIF Idea that, because one religion is prior to anather in time, it should have a better claim to be the truth won't hold water.

If a Christian must be baptised, given absolution, etc., before he can enter heaven, does this mean that others, Christians or not, cannot enter heaven without these rites? Infants who die before coining to the age of reason, and who du so without being baptised, cannot enter heaven. Those who have come to the age of reason, and are capable of a personal correspondence with interior grace can be saved if their ignorance of Chris tianity and neglect of its rites are no fault of their own. History tells us that many great religions, fairer far than Christianity, flourished in the East before Christ c ame. History tells us of other religions flourishing before the coining of Christ.

He also offered the help of divine grate to those who desired it. Men should be grateful that God should have done so much for them already, instead of c omplaining that He did not do more.

Sacraments for Catholics Only
Kangaloon. N.S.W. May a Church of England communicant present himself to receive Holy Communion in a Roman Catholic Church? No. The Catholic Church casia administer her Sacraments to tho,s who are not her own members. If people want the privileges of Catholi, they must become Catholics. It weal! ! be supremely dishonourable for ti non-Catholic to attempt to recei:-.! any Catholic Sacrament, which the Catholic Church could not and w •:' not willingly give. If an Anglican wants to marry a CV tholic, has he the right to become a Catholic so that he could have a Catholic marriage accerdin.g to the full rites of the Catholic Church? Ile certainly has the right to bet a Catholic if he is persuaded that the C atholic Church is the one tri Church of Jesus Christ. But he should seek instruction in the Catholw Faith so that he will be able to arrive a t a sound judgment on this matter

And slowly, but surely, the non-Nazis are being forced into the Nazi camp—or taking the consequences. The effect. on the Catholic population in Danzig- is disastrous, and a violent antiCatholic persecution is raging. Unless the Polish rulers heed Polish public opinion an unthinkable disaster will follow. •

To a great number of English f atholics he is vell known for his charming courtesy and his -obvious diplomatic abilities during his three years at the Holy f ee.

The Free City of Danzig (pictured) has become the newest European powder keg- Demands by Arthur Karl Greiser • pro-Nazi president of the Danzig Senate that the territory be removed from League rule as administered by Sean Lester (upper) anti-Nazi High Commissioner. has a caused a hasty lineup of nations against the Nazi forces operating to bring the city under German rule. Foreign Minister Josef Beck, of Poland (bottom) is violently against the demand.
The numerous non-Nazis have formed a single coalition. Natio,kalists. t Catholics, Spcialists— all re united in a &sperate battle or life and liberty. They know the fate that awaits them in a Nazi Germany. But the fight is against overwhelming odds. The opposition is actually in a majority. in all probat4ility-. The economic ruin and wholesale have Nazi terrorism driven thousands of former Nazis into the opposition camp. The nationalist party membership has risen from 200 to 4.500 in a year. And Greiser and his merry men know this. Draconian Laws. They have completely gagged the opposition. Draconian laws virtually ban non-Nazi propaganda and meetings now. The opposition press. too, is banned One emasculated Catholic paper alone survives. And members of the opposition are openly sought and beaten up or kidnapped by Nazis in the street. the police standing impassively bv. Catholics are undergoing real martyrdom. Crucifixes are be-
ing destroyed in the country, and all over the territory a violent anti-Catholic campaign is raging. Hitherto the Catholic party has maintained its strength and resisted Nazi aggression better than other parties. Hence Greiser' s determination to crush independent Catholic life. Polish Feebleness. Polish protests so far are feeble. The Polish Government has accepted Berlin's explanations and merely hopes for the best. But Polish public opinion is solid in support of the opposition. And-rightly. For the end of the opposition means the end of the Free State of Danzig- — and of the safeguarding of Polish interests. Only a firm line taken by Poland can save the opposition from a terrible fate—and Europe from a coup. the consequences of which might be unthinkable. That this is no idle warning is proved by the militarisation of Danzig. as reported in the Polish press. Thousands of Storm troopers from Danzig took part in recent manoeuvres on the Ger-
"There has been a spiritual renaissance in Portugal. It is a miracle." exclaimed the Cardinal Patriarch of Lisbon, when interviewed on his arrival in Ainerica to take part in the celebration of the 600th. anniversary of the death of St. Elizabeth, Queen of Portugal. "The soul of the Portuguese nation," said the Cardinal, "is ,born again in the grace of its people, who are renewing their energies at the source of all life. "The Constitution of Portugal, while not officially Catholic, is based on Catholic principles. guaranteeing the freedom of the family, of the Church, of education, and by that freedom encouraging them to grow. "Everything is based on . the family as the unit of life in 5.0ciety. The aids given to its development by the Church and by Catholic education have revived the enthusiasm of the Portuguese people. They are happy." Cardinal Cerejeira witnessed a procession of 30,000 people through the streets of the city in honour of St. Elizabeth. Solemn Mass was celebrated in the grand Oakland anditiorium. and the Cardinal preached. Archbishop Mitty had invited the Cardinal to attend the celebrations because there are about 100,000 Portuguese in his diocese of San Francisco. In Oakland and district there resides the world's third largest Portuguese commiinity. man frontier. supervised by German officers—and. of course, the ubiquitous Greiser!

Professor Beasley must know that the legal code in Soviet Russia is a terrible instrument for the oppression of those who do not sympathise with the Government. Perhaps he has heard of the 0-G.P.U. (I forget its latest name). which has power to arrest torture and execute all "enemies of the people." The famous public trials in Moscow, in which all the prisoners plead guilty and are denied counsel, would serve as useful material for study by this section of the Society for the Promotion of Cultural Relations. One of the objects of this socieey is to obtain reliable information as to certain aspects of life in Russia. Why not read reliable documents as the speeches of Lenin, Stalin, and Jaroslaysky, or the writ;rigs of men who have returned from Russia, instead of going for the "(acts" to such an unreliable source as the Thrrd International? No doubt many of the writings of visitors to Russia are discoloured by prejudice: but a man of culture can separate the grain from the chaff, and facts cannot be winked at. Communism is based on a philosophy which embraces the whole nature of men and every aspect of life Thus the rulers of Russia are consist. ent in permitting only such cultural activities as do not oppose that philosophy. Every man, woman and child in Russia is expected to be political and propagandist. How then can any cultural activities be nonpolitical and non-propagandist? And to enter into friendly relations with a political and propagandist revolutionary organisation is to lay oneself open to the charge of being a disseminator of its doctrines. Certain results of Communist activity in Russia may excite some admiration. Such, for instance, are the tremendous increase in industrial production and the improved physical condition of the massee in the cities. But these rest on innumerable facts which make a free. eivkieed man

Letters to The Editor One of the surest signs of an awakening interest in the development of the Catholic Press is contained in the letters which daily- arrive in the Editor's mail. We heartily invite our readers to use this paper freely in expressing their views, favourable or otherwise, of articles which are published, of matters local, national. and international which affect Catholicism, and of other t opics of general interest. All letters must bear a name and address ),not necessarily for publication), or they will be ignored. Letters should be confined to alumt 3.50 words, Any society turn pale with horrorwhich studies conditions in Russia must not suppress these facts.

The article referred to in -The Re. curd" mentioned the controversial opinions expressed by various mem. hers of our own Church, and I was pleased to notice that a Papal Delegate expressed the opinion that "What the Pope teaches, Father Cughlan preaches.** If this is so. sorely there can be no question about Father Coghlan doing the right thing- -again excepting those who profess to know more than the Pope knows about Christianity. Is this not a question which could be definitely settled by the Pope? Do you honestly think it is in keeping with what God would like its to do when good food and clothing, fruit, an;'I- countless other commodities are %ell Finfully destroyed- knowing full that millions of people throughout the w orld are in actual need of the very things which are destroyed? If such a shocking state of affairs is known to be brought about by the wrongful control, and obsolete policy of the present monetary system—and anyone who reads the Papal Encyclisal, "Quadragesimo Anno- (The Social Order- It's Reconstruction and Perfection) and then takes the trouble to e ven look into the present monetary system—anyone who does that, cannot help admitting where the fault lies. Do you not think it is time the Church took sufficient interest in the necessary social reform as to give the question the utmost publicity from every pulpit, to such an extent as would warrant a thorough exposition of the wrongs which are inherent in the present system The present Capitalistic system is doomed, on account of the ever-widening growth of public opinion, and all credit is due to each and every person who assists to show the public how they are being robbed of what is unfortunately, rightly theirs—but, there is also an increasing opinion. e ven amongst Catholics. that the Capitalistic system and our Church are working. hand in hand, on account of the millions of pounds' worth of property which the Church owns throughout the world, and which they fear they will lose if they do anything to help remove the said system. What is quite obvious is the inde,cribable zilence of the Church on such The mere a momentous question. statement that the Church cannot interfere, because it is a political clue tion, would not convince the average school boy, because the Church does not hesitate to interfere in any other question which concerns her people. however political such things ma \ he. but when it comes to the life-blood of the country, the monetary problem. not a word is said one way or the other ,excepting, of course- by one or two courageous men such as Father Coghlan and Father Drinkwater, and the Dean of Canterbury for the C. of E.
What is preventing the Church, as a body, from endeavouring to remove t he bondage of the financial system, which causes such suffering and privations, and sin—the very things you claim to be trying to prevent? If you wish to prevent such things, why do Is it fear you not remove the cause? which compels you to keep silent? Is it that you are a victim or the system, intolerable as it is. and that, as such, you are afraid of pressure being brought to bear upon financial matters appertaining to Church property? Can you not see that communism, which you condemn, is being introduced as a means of depriving the people of their rights to question the the world. money monopolists of e'otnmuniern is painted as a very rosy picture, to induce people to introduce it, but when it is in force, a dictator quickly suppresses anyone and everyone who has too much to say, and the old money masters have succeeded in robbing the people of their freedom, and by so doing have removed the last chance the people ever had of over throwing that monied power. If you know Communism is wrong, why do you not do something to educate public opinion as to how people in a democratic country may exercise their rights and obtain what belongs to them, without being foolish enough to forfeit their freedom by allowing Communism to supercede Democratic Government? I mean real Democratic Government--not the so-called Democracy under which we suffer at present. Or is it that N-011 are only opposed to Communism on account of dreading the loss of all your property' have previously written to "The Record" on this subject, and naturally my letters were not published, would not expect them to be, as they might possibly cause other people to sit up and take notice.

I know of no body more powerful than the Church and the right would very quickly be done. I trust my remarks will not be inter. preted by you in the wrong light, but I cannot reconcile the actions of two different parties or sections of any particular body, when they seem to be directly opposed to each other, and that is the light in which I regard the Pope.

Of course, I am referring to the question of social reform only, and the monetary reform in particular-- not to any other aspect of the Church's teach. ing—which I know to be so unanimous, but if the Church, as a body, would do its duty to the people by showing them what is necessary. just imagine what a wonderful amount of good would result from such action. On the contrary. if the present monetary system is allowed to work any further wrongs upon an already exasperated world, and if the people in their extremity turn to Communism, or an" other ism, then I have no hesitation is saving that :be Church, bv its silence• did as much towards driving people into such extremities a, di the intolerable monetary system Our Lord said: "He that gathereth not with Me, scattereth,- and you know that is true • If you are not with Him 100 per cent., you must be against Him.

The Trades Hall and Spain
Catholics throughout Australia must view the attitude of the Australian Council of Trade Unions towards the Spanish Civil War with profound amazement and regret. "The Worker," official organ of the \V .A. Labour Party, in its issue of the 18th. inst., features a world-wide appeal to trade unionists, endorsed by the A .C.T.U.. to contribute to the support of the Communist terrorists in Spain who are inextricably bound up with the Spanish Left Wing Government. This is promulgated locally in all good faith, it would seem, for "The Worker" sums up the struggle as one beThe strange feature of this tween Fascism and Democracy.. warped perspective and the consequent misplaced sympathy arises out of the fact that even the Capitalistic press of this country has in s',cent weeks been forced to the reluctant admission that the struggle lies between Communism and Spanish nationalism. or in t he more fundamental analysis of General O'Duffy, between Christ and anti-Christ. It is not surprising if large numbers of the general public have been seduced by the earlier lies in the Press and bewildered by :he more recent half-truths. But it is in the nature of a tragedy that the official guides of the worker should have been hoodwinked by the overdone propaganda and should have been lured into the specious catcalls of the Communists against Fascism. The attitude of British Labour circles is more comprehensible in so far as a definite section has Communistic leanings. So serious has the position become, that, although repeated applications by the Communist Party for affiliation to the Labour Party have been rejected, over 1.200 organisations affiliated to the Labour Party have been persuaded to pass resolutions supporting, the The Marxists have now prepared a Communistic applications. petition, signed by members of the Labour Party and affiliated organisations, which will be presented to the English Labour Party Conference next month in support of their demands. This is part of the tactie, of the "United Fri .1t - and represent, a bold attempt to capture the leadership of the workers.

Well. we main theme was: "Think of the Spanish Inquisition!" thought about it and it seemed to us that even in those past age it was the Spanish Government that was the responsible party. With this exception, that they had every reason to punish heresy as subversive doctrine against the State, ,whereas the present Government has no logical standing for its persecution of religion. We also noted that of old heretics were tried before they were burnt. Also that death at the stake was the usual method of capital punishment and regarded by no one as barbarous. But crucifixion would have been regarded, then as now. as the death of ignominy and the refinement of cruelty, eseecially when inflicted without pretence of trial. It is also noteworthy that the Spanish Inquisition was the instrument of order, whereas the present barbarities are the product of chaos, deliberately induced by the Spanish Government. We commend these .considerations to the big heart ars: the open mind of R.C.—or the artist.
Women in tbe Ministry The Anglican Bishop of Birmingham. at the Modern Churei-. mcn's Conference at Oxford, set forth a claim that women shou be admitted to the priesthood.

Authentic Film Portrayal of St. Therese's Life "The Little Flower" on the Screen "Haying been honoured by special invitation to a private screening of the 'Life of the Little Flower,' we now, without hesitation, pronounce this picture as the truest portrayal of catholic religious life that has ever been lea• tured on the screen, and we recommend it unreservedly to our people."
Asked- for his opinion regarding the picture, Very Rev. Father Kelly. on behalf of His Grace the Archbishop, said:
His Grace, Archbishop Kelly, Sydney: On competent authority, we recognise that the film, 'The Little Flower,' is praiseworthy in %III details. It is therefore desirable that it be patronised by all who seek good films. And, therefore, we willingly extend our official patronage and commendation."
The Apostolic Delegate, Dr. P. Betnardini: "I regret that I will not be able to attend the premiere of 'The Little Flower' "I assure you, however, that any movement that has for its object the improvement of the cinema from the moral standpoint has my complete and enthusiastic approbation." " With every best wish." Rev. Dr. Leonard, St. Patrick's College, Manly, in "The Catholic Press": "The motion picture of *The Little F lower' . . . is unimpeachably t'atholie.

"The Sun," Sydney: "All the people in the story move w ith much sincerity and reverent spirit The film has a simple beauty.

Harold Lloyd's comedy, 'The Milky Way." a Paramount picture. commences at the Grand Theatre on Friday. October 2. Laughter strews the path of the spectacled comedian in his timid progress from the uneventful life of a milkman to the pulsing career of a fight champion. There is a g,irgeously goofy idea in this picture. The hilarity is unabated- Lloyd is cast as a poor sap of a milkman, an obscure fellow scared of his own shadow. He is always skipping out of trouble. Quite a skipper. in fact. He steps into the limelight by ducking away from a blow aimed at him by a drunken crony of the middle-weight champion. The c hamp gets the sock and goes down for the count. Reporters pounce on t he milkman. He brags, and is egged on into declaring that he knocked out t he great undefeated champ. This catapults Lloyd into fame as a contender. A promoter collars him a nd puts him into training, He is forced to fight the champ. There is going to be a massacre with the ex milkman scheduled to be on the receiving end of the punishment It would be spoiling the fun to tell vou what happens when trembling.

PARISH JOTTINGS St. Columba's, South Perth On last
Our New Church.
Sunday the plans of the new church were on exhibition outside the hall and were much admired by the parishioners. An artist's conception in colours by Miss Kay Kinane gave a better conception of what the church will look like to those who find it difficult to visualise a plan. We are hoping that the contratcors, Mr. W. Fairweather and Son. will commence this week, as we expect the church finished by the end of March. No date can yet be fixed for laying the foundation stone. Many admiring the style wish to know something about it. Briefly and simply it is this: Origin of Mission Style.
It is interesting to g!ance at the origin of the mission style. .the most honoured name in California toe:ley is that of Father Junipero S'erra, the Spanish Franciscan friar-missionary. who in 1769 began his long walk ef 250 miles over a country wild, rough, and dangerous from Loreto, in Mexico, to San Diego's Harbour of the Sun- San Diego, the most southerly city in California, saw his first mission to the Red Indians: He then moved north, establishing as he went 21 missions t hat marked his resting places as King's along El .Camilio Real the Ilighway) he plodded. Most of -those old missions remain to-day to remind Californians of the herculean labours of their founder. Juniper° Serra. Listen to the music of the mission names, whose notes, like the chiming of the Angelus bell at the clese of the day's work. are still ringing through the pages of Californian hietor---San Diego. El Carmelo. San Gale isl, Sac. the Antonio. Santa Barbara (where dust of that grand old missionary rests). San Jose and San Francisco-names that remain, and attraet thouWhat an sands of visitors each year. education it is to wander areend the 21 missions peopled with the gnosts of those old friars, who educated the wild Indians from their state of savagery into skilled craftsmen and wise builders, leaving to the white inan the inspiration, which has flowered into the full bloom of the en Ion style' that delights the eye of every toutist "fis strange to that sunny coast! that a penniless friar should have set a fashion which still flourishes in California. s‘ mission st-et, home aims at r eproducing the old look of those buildings reared in adobe. or baked mud, and crowned with tiles. No matter what it is, it sells best when labelled "mission" in ti'alifornia to-day. The idea of the new church for South Perth was got in Hollywood. in the city of the Angels, Los Angeles. That idea has been translated into A ustralian style by Mr. Henderson. and those who have seen the detailed plan are delighted with his splendid • a chievement. •
What is the Book of Kens?
The stained glass memorial window over the porch has aroused much enthusiasm. The Celtic interlacings are appreciated so well that many wish to Briefly, again, know their origin. here is their story: The Book of Kells is an Irish manuscript containing the four Gospels. It is recognised as the finest example of Celtic art surviving. It is also called the Book of Columba. for it is supposed to have been written in the Isle of Iona. off the coast of Scotland. over which St. Columba presided as an St. Columba died in Iona in abbot. 397. and that makes the Book of Kells over 13 centuries old. In 1006 it was stolen, from the Sacristy of the Church of Kells. but. fortunately, was discovered some months later hidden in a bog. It is typical of Irish art at its best, written lw hand in black, red, purple and gold ink, colours which remin Characteristic of fresh to this day. this manuscript is the number of interlacings- coloured representations of fanciful beings: the scribe gave full play to his poetic imaginings. and so we delight in strange animals. birds, dogs. horses, and grotesque gargoyles, all twisted and hooked together in inIn the spare of one tricate detail. inch square may be counted no less than 158 interlacings of white ribbott with a black border on either side.

Parish Doinlgs.
Thanks, Mrs. Rosman, for turning your nice home into a parochial hall last Monday, where many parishioners and some well-wishers foregathered to play bridge and eat buns in the noble cause of financing our new church. On last Friday evening, in the Swan Street Hal:, we danced the light fantastic under the auspices of the Shamrock Stall. Mr. Manton should have lived in the age of the guilds, for no dexterous hand ever handled a saw or plane. A doll's kitchen, and a doll's bedroom suite, complete in every detail, is his offering to his stall for the coming fete. The tickets are going well. A stream-lined bike is also one of the attractive prizes which this energetic band of workers, the gibernians, are tempting our youth to have a chance. The Scarlet Runners, headed by Miss Kinane, have decided to hold a dance at the, Pagoda on Wednesday. November 25, on the eve of the full moon. The dance will be known as the - *Witches' Revels," and to create the proper atmosphere black cats and broomsticks will be the motif of the decorations. Once again those pillars are to be painted, and scenic canvasses created to put you into the f all-moonish mood to enjoy the Pa. got-la as a Witch on revels. Promised for the near future are the following: 1, A Bridge afternoon at the home of Mrs- Frank Walsh, in Parker-street. 2. A Bridge evening at the home of Mrs. Eddy, in Hopetoun-street. 3. A Bridge evening at the home of Mrs. Hamilton .in Alexandra-street. 4. A Bridge evening at the home of Mrs. W. Johnson, in Walters-street. 5. A Dance in the Swan Street I-Tall, on October 15, by Mesdames Quin and Amanaseo. 6. A Dance at Log Cabin, to he or ganised by Miss Marie Dominish.

General There was a good rally of members at the meeting on M6nday night, and business was completed by 9 o'clock, leaving members free to other items for the remainder of the night—a deMr. Bill Horan sirable proceedingpresided. Our minute secretary, Mr. Bob McKerrow, read some minutes of disputable origin from several old lottery tickets, old envelopes, etc. Under active censure, he promised a more formal entry for next meeting. We were pleased to welcome a new member, Mr. Delft. introduced by our secretary, Mr. Fred Steele ,assuring him of the increased strength to our society by the advent of new members. Members were reminded of the monthly Communion on Sunday. September 27. Discussion arose concerning our picnic, which, last year, was an extremely successful event at the Donkey Pools ( alas! only puddles this year). The fixing of a date and a suitable vehue ( misunderstood for some little time as menu by our more edacious members) is not easy where, away from the blue ocean and "the little dulling edge of foam,- selection devolves more on opinions than on enthusiasm. Still, members are laisser faire in attitude to an event which is something real and invigorating for the society. After the meeting adjourned, members saw to their form at our varied indoor sports. for our sports night against B.C.Y.M S. next Monday night. Carpet bowls seems the most bloodthirsty of these, on those Red Indianlike displays of eurythniical exuberance from the players during the tenser passages of play. Hockey. We now put away our sticks and boots for the cockroaches and issales to amuse themselves. On Sunday we played Kalgoorlie City in the final and were defeated by 3 goals to .1. From an indefinite scramble in front of their goal, Kalgoorlie City got their third goal a few minutes before time. This was what Wosiehouse calls a "staggerer.We had no chance of coming up to win. This is our last game in the grade hockey after a season of good sport. Again we have reached the final. Though over, we will not hear the last of hockey until Mr. Johnston has collected the last outstanding shilling. Study Circle. T he advance made since the incep. tion of these weekly talks is particularly gratifying, as Father Grennan has been persevering even, one is inclined to feel, to the point of patience. He has now vacated the speaker's chair, but we look to him for suggestions should we have to criticise a member who is foolish enough to assert some idea which, after all, is only some worn-out and hoary heresy, or is a notion of neo-paganisin which, in some manner he has absorbed into his system. As that memorable night when Mr. Day thought he was a - -we are still vague—he was either a fatalist or a philaletist. In an introductory sketch of social science (sociology), as Catholics interpret the work, Father Grennan at last week's talk defined it as a practical science directing social co-operation towards the more perfect attainment of the enns and aims of society; it was partly analytical and partly inductive, working partly from principles founded upon the nature and end of man, his purposes and essential functions in sociely; and partly from prin. -ciples based on the generalisations taken from history and statistics. Although the principles are ascertainable by the light of reason, the Church's teaching cannot be ignored. Society he described as a permanent moral union of several persons for the purpose of attaining a common good by mutual co-operation. Social science referred primarily to man's temporal good: and to the State Nation) a t ype of society which is perfect, natural and universal. In concluding, he touched upon non-Christian sociology, the Positivism of Comte, the (Evolutionary f Materialism of Spencer. the Pantheism of Hegel, mostly dreams and speculations. often in flat contra. diction to the practical experience of *life. The Encyclicals of Leo XI!!. were generally accepted as the ground work of social science, and the two most important Catholic sociologists had been Ketteler and Tarparelli. The speakers on Monday night dealt with European history up to the twelfth and greatest century, when the s'athotic Church was- the dominating

which. we broadly call medieval. Of the sort of waxwork history which is thought sufficient for the side-show of the age of abbots and crusaders, a small instance will be sufficient. A popular Encyclopaedia appeared some years ago, professing among other things to teach English History to the masses; and in this I came upon a series of pictures of the English kings. No one could expect them to be all authentic; but the interest attached to those that were necessarily imaginary. There is much vivid material in contemporary literature for portraits of men like Henry II. or Edward I.; but this did not seem to have been found ,or even sought. And wandering to the image that stood for Stephen of Blois, my eye was staggered by a gentleman with one of those helmets with steel brim, curved like a crescent. which went with the age of ruffs and trunk-hose. I am tempted t o suspect that the head was that of a halberdier at some such scene as the execution of Mary. Oueen of Scots. But he had a helmet and helmets were medieval; any any old helmet was good enough for Stephen. (To be Continued.)
External Perception.—The arguments we gave last week are sufficient to establish the existence of an extended material world of which our body forms The psychological quespart. tion now emerges: How de we perceive r know this outer universe?

SANE PSYCHOLOGY
ENGLISH HISTORY It ‘v ill be very reasonably asked why I should consent, though upon a sort of challenge, to write a popular essay on English history, who make no pretence to particular scholarship and am merely a member of the public.

What we call the popular histories should rather be caHed the anti-popular histories. They are all, nearly without exception. written against the people; awl in them the populace is either ignored or elaborately proved to have been wrong.

Bishop Berkeley ts 1685-1753) asserts that God alone is the cause of my ideas. By the Divine agency, and not by any material substance, the permanence and orderliness of the ideas are sustained. The only demonstrative argument to this theory is that it is in conflict with the attribute of veracity which he must ascribe to the Deity. God could not be author of such a fraud. Emanuel Kant ( 1724-1804) holds the mind to be endowed from the beginning with certain or priori or innate subjective " forms." by which all its experience is actively moulded or shaped. Of most importance is the "intuition" of Space, inherent in the constitution of the mind, and imposed on the material element given in sensation. 111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

This method of reasoning was employed by Plato to show that all. knowledge is really innate. It sins by proving too much._ If it were true that we could apprehend an object as extended unless we had a previous representation of extension, then we could never cognise a taste. etc., unless we had antecedently a similar cognition of the nature of the taste. If there are in existence extended material bodies, and if we are endowed with the f aculties of touch and sight. there is no reason why we should not immediately perceive the spatial qualities of these bodies when they act upon our senses. The perception may. of course, he at first vague. but frequent experience can perfect it. A 5cotstnan we know is putti7buying an atlas until world affairs littIP -..-rtnre settled.

Rooke-Eddy Wedding st.
Joseph's Church, Subiaco, was the scene of a very pretty wedding on Saturday, August 29th., when Lila, daughter of Mrs. and the late Mr. Eddy, of West Leederville, was mar. ried to Mr. Robert Rooke. Rev. Father Brennan performed the ceremony. Lila made a charming picture as she entered the church on the arm of her uncle, Mr. I. P. Stokes, of Meckering, in her bridal gown of ivory satin, simply cut and fashioned with a long train. Her veil of billowy white tulle was held in place with tiny clusters of orange 'blossoms and she carried a trailing sheath of lilies of the valley and snowdrops. Marjorie Eddy attended her sister frocked in a delightful gown of apple green satin, showing the new pleating effects and worn with a picture hat of the same shade. Her bouquet was of daffodils. Mr. Pat Rooke supported his brother. The reception was held at the Bradman Hostel, where some 70 guests were received by Mesdames Eddy and Rooke. Many beautiful pre. gents were received by the popular young couple, who left later in the evening for their honeymoon, the bride travelling in an ensemble of marina green.

THE LATE MRS. MARY CART. Mrs. Mary Cary, wife of Mr. Valter Cary, of 11 Bruce-street, North Fremantle, and late of the Loco Department, W.A. Government Railways. Midland Junction, died on Thursday. September 17, at Perenjori, while on a visit to one of her daughters, and the funeral took place on Saturday afternoon, the 19th. inst. A Requiem Mass was celebrated at St. Patrick's Church, Adelaide-street, Fremantle, on Saturday morning, at which the Rev. Father J. Ryan, O.N1.1., was the celebrant. The funeral took place in the afternoon, when the remains were interred in the Catholic portion of the Fremantle Cemetery. Rev. Father H. Kearin, of St. Anne's, officiated at the graveside. Mrs. Cary was a very old resident of Fremantle, and a daughter ot an old pioneer of the State and an Indian Mutiny veteran, the late Sergeant Michael Tulley. She was born in Fremantle 71 years ago, and was edut•ated at St. Joseph's Convent. She had lived at Fremantle and North Fremantle all her life. She was a staunch member and ardent worker of St. Patrick's and St. Anne's churches. Nothing was to much trouble for her to du in the interests of others. and her charitable disposition won, for her the affec. tion of all with whom she came into contact. Although she had been in ill-health for a long time, her end came rather unexpectedly. Two of her sons served with the Australian Forces during the Great War. She leaves a husband, three sons, five daughters, and 31 grandchildren to mourn their loss. The chief mourners were Messrs. W. Cary (husband), C. H. and W. J. Cary (sons), M. Farrell, J. Hesford, R.

T wo Guineas Awarded to Country Competitor EX -STUDENT OF FREMANTLE C.B.C. Impressed with the high literary standard so evident in our regular competitions for Catholic school children, many of our readers have urged the extension of these contests to the finished product of our educational system—the adult Catholic. Our first invitation in this regard has met with but qualified success. Many of the contributions were remarkable for pious aspirations rather than intelligent reasoning and literary merit, whilst but three or four really justified the promise shown in our schools. The latter, and especially "Mr. Thomas Stewart," whose article we publish below, "The Record" congratulates for their vindication of the Catholic faith and training. The former are advised to read more Catholic literature, to join some Catholic library, to enter into discussion with the more informed of their fellow Catholics that, in the words of St. Paul, "they may have a reason for the faith that is in them." -

These facts have been made known by a journalist who was an eye-witness of the civil war in Spain.

Those bodies, which had been buried for years, and were practically nothing hut hone, were propped ttp against the outside wall of the convent with offensive labels pinned on to the front of them, while the crowds danced around them.

The analysis of the Fascist and Communistic systems from a Christian standpoint was well done. The former, a genuine literary attempt, was perhaps a trifle too poetic. Christianity will be completely eradicated. But yet, when we think of Pagan Rome, we still hold hope for her. Because she before whose standard the might-, jest nations quailed, was unable in her time to crush Christianity or to arrest its progress.

V iolence can never persuade men, but tends to make them more resolute and determined to uphold what is right. Such a persecution, as is happening in Spain, does not retard the progress of the Church, but rather it is like pruning a vine. It must be cut back at certain times to make it grow bigger and stronger and be more fruitful. And so in Spain. where one has fallen, hundreds shall rise and this persecution will, please God. give us the strength and courage to maintain and spread the Faith of Our Fathers. COMMUNITY CONCERT,

THE RECORD.
SY'S NICCES and N MY CORN ER ITES,- — It was only yesterday that I heard of the death of one of the Bushies' benefactors, whom I should have long since had prayers offered for had I known that he had gone to meet Our Divine Lord io Judgment, fur such prayers would have been his due because of his charity and generosity to the Bushies' Scheme. I refer to Mr. Peter Rinaldissmy erstwhile "Father R.I.P. Christmas. ' ( When the first Lemonade Bottle for Jur Bushies was opened in 1931, it was this gentleman who made one of the first entries into the C..)rner amongst the "grown-ups" and wben forwarding his first donation he gave himself the pen-name of "Father Christmas." For a few years after le: kept his annual donation, like the yf so. s 96jective, on the increase, and feeling gratefully inclined towards this unknown benefactor, I fossieked round until I discovered his identity. When I had found it and his address, I sent him as token of appreciation a letter of thanks and a resary beads, and never since that day have I heard another word of him until yesterday brought me news of his death. May the Divine Friend of little children have already admitted him to that heavenly home which, through his benefactions, he was so eaget to secure for the children in our bush' land. There is almost a relief in my heart to know that he has left this vak of tears, for I had been afraid that ms- - Father Christmas" had forsaken the. Page because of my having let him know I knew his teal self, and so I am gla to feel that it is really the Angel sO Death who is responsible. I would also be glad to feel that those of you who read these lines would say e ven one Hail Mary for the repose of his soul. and, of course, I expect more than that from the little children who have benefited from the kindly, generous interest of this benefactor who is now no more. Thanks be to God, the grown-ups have been even more ready to work for the Cause of this Page than the children, and it is mainly due to them that the big financial success comes along each year. So, when a grown-up among you dies, it should bring home to you, as it brings home to me. the true worth of haying done one's little hit for Almighty God Whether we are blessed with plenty of this world's goods or poor in the e xtreme. death places us all on the same level as far as all earthly considerations go. Once the inevitable hour of separation from this earth comes for us all we go forth with only the spiritual riches our souls have garnered—all other garnering is left behind to he used foolishly or wisely accord:ng. to the inclinations of those who ...atm it as theirs. None can ever claim that we have given to God— thanks to His Glorious and Gracious elf, that greets us again the moment we come before Him —and whatever else is in the balance against us we c an serenely close our eyes in death It our conscience assures us that we have been as charitable to God and t he things of God as our means permitted. Y et. I air beginning to one by one tlie grown-ups realise that and children whe have been the strong support of t his -Corner" are going never to re. - ern, and I ese drawn to find consolation in ,yely line, of Father " Dear ita . they have he Like guasdian angels to e And distant heaven like home .

I find consolation also in the t hought that the Blessed in Heaven continue to aid in the works of the r hurch on earth, and that my particular Blessed Ones will not now for. sake this particular work of the Bus';es Scherne. and so I hope the soul of Peter Rinaldi, if it is enioying eters- nal felicity, will find me another ' Father (hristmas' for the Bushies now that I know the real reason why himself went away.

So shocking a transgression ot the Law could not fail to excite the mind of all Galilee. Did Herod, startled as he was, and fearful of disturbance some among his people, come to John the Baptist, thinking to obtain from him some words of approval and commendation'. Some writers have so interpreted the facts. Yet it is more probable that the Precursor himself at once took the initiative. Pushing his way straight into the palace of the Tetrarch—as of old Elias came before Achab—he made the gilded halls re-echo with those words which ,the Church has so often since repeated to guilty princes: "It is not lawful for you t o have your brother's wife." And then John reproached him for all the evil deeds committed by him : whereupon having fulfilled hi. mission, he departed. leaving in Herod's heart a rankling memory, an incurable \V! mud. The prince dared not arrest the Prophet on the instant. for he feared the people. who still thronged about him ; but he Was only waiting some favourable opportunity for laying- hands upon him. As soon as it presented itself, he had him seized bv his satellites, and from the Gospel account we may infer t hat the members of the Sanhedrin, always the secret enemies of the Baptist. were not entirely unconcerned in this act of violence. The prison in which John the Baptist was thrown was that same fortress of Machermite where the daughters of Aretas has taken refuge. Tosephus has described its strange appearance, erected upon one of the
which border the while on the east it is surrounded by gorges so deep that the eye can scarcely fathom their dark chasms. Herod struck with the value of such a coign of v antage, had encircled the cliff w ith enormous ramparts, and r aised upon the heights a town and a palace. Tales of unhallowed deeds gave the deep defiles which environ it an evil renown. The popular imagination, deluded by the volcanic phenomena w hich are of so frequent occurrence in the region, conjured up numberless prodigies which were to be beheld in these parts. The smallest plants (they said) here grow to the size of the fig-tree; great twisted roots, red as tire, sending out flames at evening, glide away from the profane hand that would grasp them, or strike him down in death. From the depths of the valleys, and from the summits of the mountains, there burst forth springs of most various flavours—sometimes boiling with heat, sometimes pouring out at the same time, as from a double vessel, icy streams mingling with the warm. Such is the fantastic neighbourhood in which Josephus locates the prison of the Precursor. A lthough held within these fastnesses, the latter retained his liberty so far as to be able to receive his disciples, and to charge them w ith (livers messages. Herod himself, during his sojourns at Macheronte, sought converse with the captive ; for "he feared him, knowing that he was a just and holy man, and although he kept him in prison, he listened to him willingly." _Thus he came "to do many things by his counsel; and at the last did really halt for an instant, undecided, in the downward path of sin on which he had so far proceeded. But his wicked paramour was ever on the watch; she felt that the influence of John was ruinous to her own, and so, making a vow of merciless vengeance upon him, she went about procuring his death. For a long time Herod protected the Forerunner;' for he w as attached to him, and feared the people, who venerated John as a Prophet. Such half-hearted r esistance as this was, however, Powerless to withstand Herodias. We shall see very soon how, in the night of debauchery. she snatched her victim from the hands which so feebly defended.... him. (To be Continued.)
