The Browns were standing on the balcony of the seaside hotel, and couldn't help hearing what the young couple were saying in the garden below. Mrs. Brown turned to her husband. "I think he's going to propose, and we oughtn't to listen. Just whistle to warn him." " Why should I?" asked Mr. Brown. "Nobody whistled to warn me." • A man bought a horse from a farmer, and being unable to pay the whole sum asked for credit. As the man was known in the district the farmei agreed. Two months passed, and the debt not being settled the farmer became anxious. Then the man called on him. "There's one, thing I don't like about that horse I bought from you," he told the farmer. "What's that?" the other asked. "She won't hold her head up," said the customer. "Well, of course not," the farmer replied: "that's her pride. You watch her when she's paid for." "Fine piece of land out here!" said the dusty, shrewd-looking man as he descended from his trap outside the farmer's house. "You're right there." replied the farmer eagerly. "It's the hest to he found in the country." "Bit too high a figure for a poor man, I reckon?" asked the stranger. "It's worth every penny of three hundred pounds an acre," answered the farmer, with an eye to business. "Were you thinking of buying and settling in these parts?"

I leiye never departed from the strict requirements of sincerity in any T.., plie I have given during this session. But now let me give you, once and for A child all, the law on this subject. is termed illegitimate if it is born out of wedlock. It is therefore normally regarded as illegitimate if the marriage Now if a of ifs parents is invalid, mix,..d marriage takes place, according to Catholic rites, that marriage is quite valid in the eyes of the Catholic Chur,h. and the children, therefore. If, however, a perfextly legitimate. Catholic marries a non-Catholic outside the Catholic Church, that mixed mar. riage is invalid n the eyes of the Are the children of this Church. No. For marriage, then, illegitimate' even though that marriage is invalid, the children are rendered legitimate in the eves of the Catholic Church by special legislation. Thus Canon Law, under statute 1114 declares that tho,:e children are held by the Catholk Church to be legitimate who are conceived or born of a valid or of a "putaWe ask, therefore, tive" marriage. what is a "putative" marriage? Statute 101.5, par. 4, tells us that a "putative" marriage is one which is invalid in itself. but in which one of the contracting parties at least was in good faith. Now. normally speaking, when a Catholic marries a non-Catholic outside the Catholic Church, the Catholic knows that such a marriage is invalid in the sight of God, but the non-Catholic thinks it is a true marThe chilriage and is in good faith. dren of such a mixed marriage are therefore legitimate in the eves of the Catholic Church. Any regret that You should have charged me with insincerity I leave to vonrself.
Did I Insult Protestants? You recently made a statement which the most disinterested of Protestants could only regard as a slur on their religion. Were that so, it would be due to thtir lack of knowledge of the !-ubie.-t with which I was dealing, and a ,-rstanding of what I sad. You said that if two Protestants lived together without the sanction of the law, they would be regarded as married by the Catholic Church and in the sight of God. T hat is a distortion of what I Never would the Catholic Church admit that even two Protestants would be iustified in merely living together without further formality. In the case T gave, the two Protestants def.nitelv, though privately, contracted marriage one to the other. Such a marriage would be valid before Godeven though not registered according t civil law', and even though civil law r etused to acknowledge the marriage You frrs.rn a legal point of view. must remember that it is not the reg istratioti by civil law wlich makes a marriage. The marriage contract is m ade by the contracting parties. If t wo parties are otherwise free to make such a contract, and do so, the contract is binding, and constitutes a valid m a-riage before God whether it is registered according to civil law- or not If thev. are not free to make the contract. vet do so. the marriage is invalid before God, even though 6\41 sztnctions it. You seem to think
that God will not recognise a marriage unless civil law accepts it, and must recognise a marriage if civil law does accept it. But this is to attribute infallibility to civil legislation in matters of marriage—an infallibility the State itself does not claim. It transfers the making of the marriage contract from the parties to the State, which is another basic error. And it supposes that, because the civil law sanctions the marriage of divorced people, God must do so. You see that the subject is much deeper than you thought.

That, of course, is opposed to the whole concept of marriage according to the Christian Law. If two baptised Christians went through such a marriage rite, whatever the State might think about it. tte marriage would be null and void in the sight of God, and unlawful in conscience. The only marriage recognised by Christ is one which death alone can break, There can never be a just cause for terrninating a Christian marriage contract as if it were no longer binding. There may, at least, be a just cause for separation on the understanding that the marriage bond is unbroken, and that no further marriage is nossible until the death of one of the parties.

Hating Sin More Than Death Cyril Gallaher, Christchurch. N.Z. : For a valid confession must a person detest his sins "above every other evil"? He must detest them in the light of his Christian faith, which declares sin to be a worse evil than any other c alamity in this universe. If
necessary, therefore, we must choose death rather than sin if we are faced with these alternatives. That would be our obligation were we placed in such circumstances. "Rather die than sin," was the motto of many of the Saints.
I am afraid not many people resolve to choose death rather than sin when they go to confession. Thee have no need to make such a r esolution, You are confusing future possible contingencies with the present actual moment. Here and now they haven't got to make a choice between death rind sin. Their faith simply shows them sin as worse than any other poseible evil: thee repent of their past sins accordingly: and they resolve to do their hest not to sin again. a
---Yet Death More Than Sin My horror of death seems greater than my horror of sin, and I am doubtful about the quality of my acts of contrition. The fact that your horror of death is more intense than your horror of in is no reason fo doubting the quality of your contrition. We consist of both body and soul. We have, therefore. sensitive bodily attractions and repulsions ae well as spiritual appreciations of mind and will. Now the intensity of our feelings depends upon the power of the object to move them: and in our present state in this world the material things we see. w hether good or evil, have greater power to move us than unseen spiritual things. Thus take even human love. A child might esteem God far more than it esteems its mother. Yet it would have a far more intense felt
affection for the visible and tangible mother. Turning from love of what is good to hatred of what is evil, one could esteem sin as a greater evil than death, vet have a far more intense Your rror of death. imaginative sensitive repugnance for death is not a just indication of your intelligent estimate of sin as the great evil in itself.
What of My Confessions? If the oredicament arose I do not know whether I would choose death rather than sin. There is no need for you to know that now. What you would or would not do in future circumstances which might arise but have not arisen can have no effect upon your present sot-God alone knows row for past sins. what anyone of us might do next week, if He does not preserve us. But we are not answerable for things we might do, hut have not done. Would a valid confession be made if a person believed that sin was a greater evil than death, repented of it, and resolved to avoid it in the future, without any meditation on his possible future conduct if confronted with such a choice? Ye The act of contrition does not include meditation on one's possible future conduct in grave difficulties. Here and now it requires regret that past sins should have occurred so that we sincerely wish they had never happened, and the formation of the definite intention of resisting future temptations to sin. He who sincerely intends to resist future temptations to sin obviously has no intention to sin Speculations as to in the future. what he might do in the future are beside the point. If a man were killed in a motor accident the future in which he thought he might sin despite his intention not to sin would never But God won't blame him eventuate for what he might have done, but which he had no intention of doing at Now I hone the time of his death. have made things clear.

HE menace of atheistic communism is -trousing th:.., min Os ei many a puzzled Catholic in Australia to(lay. Here we are face to face with a revolution whose avowed aim is not merely the overthrow of certain existing social and economic institutions, but the overthrow of every form of religion and the complete banishment of God from the hearts and minds of men. That, with all its horrible implications, is the imminent danger. And in the face o f this danger we can only pose a question mark: What are we, as custodians of the Christian and Catholic tradition of our country, doing as an organised body of workers for God to defeat this attack? The utter lack of any adequate and comforting. reply to that question is my reason for using the word "puzzled." We are puzzled. I am puzzled. And I know that many Catholic men with whom I have discussed the matter are puzzled. • Recent leading articles in the English Catholic weeklies, such as the "Universe; a striking collection of editorial notes in the "Catholic Times"; many valuable news items in the "Catholic Herald" ( the sort of important news you never get in the so-called "newspapers") have re-focused attention on the danger that threatened to become obscured. A year ago, in the "Clergy Review," an article on Communism declared that so far as England was concerned Communism might be considered as dead. Today there is a demand for C.T.S. pamphlets on Communism in the parish from which that article \ emanated because the parish priest finds the Communists very active amongst his young men. Communism in England and in Australia is not dead. It is not even sleeping. It should be known to any who have taken the trouble to keep in touch with the enemy that some time ago Communism received orders from headquarters (Moscow) to "go underground." It has done so, most effectively: and because there have since been few open demonstrations of activity some Catholics and many non-Catholics have been deceived into beleiving that it was dead, a thing no longer to be feared. How Moscow must have laughed to read its own obituary notice! But like Mark Twain's. it was greatly exaggerated. Yet it has needed the voice of the Pope himself to rouse and rally us once more . In his speech at the opening of the Catholic Press Exhibition in the Vatican City he left no doubt as to what is. in his opinion as head of the Church and representative of Christ on earth, the arch-enemy —Atheistic Communism. And because this is so; and because. those who follow Communism's serpent-like activities in this country know how the poison is spreading. there is concern and apprehension because of the absence of adequate Catholic counter/ -measures.
characteristics of Communism's opposition seems to have been invariably indifference and absence of unity and organisation. It calls for no great powers of observation to see that the two main features of Catholic life in England today are indifference and absence of unity and' organisation. And, in the long run, the result will be the same. I do not necessarily mean that churches and convents will be burned. down and priests murdered in cold blood, though even that has happened before today in this great countr:' of ours, where, they will tell you, " those things don't happen here!" What I do mean is this : that one day we shall have a General Election that will giv• • government and power to met' who care not for the things God and will be hostile to the who do.

For "it to be interpreted only in a comIS insufficiently realised that his munistic sense. t eaching about property was of Communism as we understand the nature of a compromise in- it to-day. and communism as it ended to reconcile stubborn facts has been practised in religious
orders for centuries, is something quite different from the so-called communism of the primitive community at Jerusalem. Strict communism is always a communism of production as well as of consumption. There is a pooling not only of possessions already acquired. but also of productive efforts. and a common central control and management of these efforts. There is no stretch of the meaning of words by which such communism can be justifiably attributed to the early Christian community. They had no communism of production. Theirs was at most a communism of consumptiim, and that only in the sense that those who had more goods brought these to the c..mmon treasury so that they might be given out to the less wealthy in accordance with their needs.
sin was that of a lie to the Holy Ghost. The words of Peter are most explicit on the point: "But Peter said: 'Ananias, why bath Satan tempted thy heart, that ..thou shouldst lie to the Holy Ghost, and by fraud keep part of the price of the land? "\Vhilst it remainded, did it not remain to thee? And after it was sold, was it not in thy power? Why hast thou conceived this thing in thy heart? Thou has not lied to men. but to God' " Acts 5,3-4). Far from the early Christian standpoint otr property having been perverted by St. Thomas, it seems rather that Thomas gave the proper expression to it when he stated in the words of Aristotle: "As to possessions let them be private. but let their use be in common." That was the sentiment so strongly expressed by a St. Cyprian. than whom there has possibly been no more violent denouncer of the human ciinrimig to the wealth of this worM. Cyprian says indeed that "whatever is God's is for our use in common." and that the possessor of earthly goods should share freely with his brethren: hut he says nothing of common peissession or communistic property. A .work of the early 4th. century, falsely attributed to him in the early days. speaks of the abuses of private property and enumerates many of them. It is always a witness of the Christian thought of the time. The fourth abuse, according to this hi t. occurs when a man is rich without giving- alms. when he does not distribute among the needy. and among those haying nothing._ the things which are superflous in regard to himself, that is, all beyond the measure 6f what he can use properly fur himself CDe (luodeciin abusis saeculi. c. 4). There is no question here or elsewhere of denouncing the wealthy man for the mere possession a s such of his wealth, but merely for not using his superfluous riches in a Christian way. The same must be said of other Church Fathers. who at t imes speak in a fiery way of things as they might be. Thus St. Chrysostom may declaim with glowing enthusiasm against the division of goods into mine and t hine t that "cold word") as the rbot of all evil and strife, and picture the paradise that would ensue if all things were held in comVINCENT PAUL NlekENNEY mon as in the primitive commun(aged 13 years', son o( Mr. and Mrs. _Jerusalem.

••( nie must either be very en. thur-iastic in the cause of the Bu -•hies or else ignore them altogether." The writer of this article remembered the words uttered more than eight years ago by a parish priest in the bush country, with considerable_ experience of the requirements of a bush parish, and the need for practical help in the imparting o f :-eligious instruction in the various bush centres at which he celebrated Holy Mass. We remembered the phrase, as we watched the small battalion of little visitors from the bush who had conic for a fortnight to the beautiful Katanning Convent School, under the aegis of the Busbies' Scheme. All told there were thirty-nine of them—each of them a fine specimen of healthy. hearty Australian energetic, childhood, with the of the hush stamped as their lives, and all 91 them eager to make the most of the time at their disposal- -determined to learn all that it was possible to learn of their religion, its doctrines and its practises in the space of a*fortnight Some of them could not even wait so long; holidays at their local schools were only for a week, and it was imperative that the should be back for the reopening of their bush schools.
From linowangerup, Nyaling, Ongerup, Kojonup, Brown Hill, Flat Rocks, Tambellup, WoodaEulymarlup, and various outlying districts they came. The good Sisters had been in touch with them through the correspondence classes for some time. Mans of them had been to the school in previous years ;it is not possible to give a complete course of religious instruction in a short fortnight of one year. All of them, it is hoped. will continue to come year after year until it is deemed advisable to have the Sacrament of Confirmation administered to them. They were of all grades too—those who had been baptised and some who had not; those who had made their first Confession and Holy Communion, and those who had not, as well as'those who had from previous years' tuition a fair working knowledge of their religion and those who had not. - Were we writing from publicity we might give still more graphic and personal descriptions; there was . typical child of the bush. b, who had a soul somewhere about him. but didn't know where, and who couldn't think of anything worse to do with sin than to take it out and shoot it like Daddy did to every pest." ---'s mammy said "he was the best little boy in all the world."

No screeu star ever radiated more glamour than this darling little miss, nor was there ever any one so particular about her waves, which, unfortunately for poor Sister, were not of the permanent type.
A ltogether thirty-nine samples of intelligent Australian youth, eager to correspond to the utmost with the efforts being made on their behalf. The Sisters had been well prepared beforehand. The entire staff was at the disposal of the children—every effort was made to utilise every moment to the very best advantage. y Mass, Prayers, Catechism Lectures, Visits, osary, Benediction—all awed in such a manner and interspersed so happily with periods of necessary recreation • that the children scarcely realised that it was school even more than holiday.

It must be gratifying to the Sisters, as well as to all supporters of the Bushies' Scheme, to realise that, because of their efforts and their sacrifices, some thirty-nine Catholic children returned to their homes with a better knowledge of God and a firmer desire to love Him and to their serve Him faithfully all lives. And here let us pause before concluding to pay a tribute t o the good Sisters who so unselfishly gave up their holiday to make this fortnight of intense religious instruction possible. No trouble was too great for these devoted women to undertake, no labour too strenuous: and the success of the holiday school was undoubtedly due to their self-sacrificing efforts.

THE RECORD PERTH, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1936.
Freemasonry Elsewhere in this issue a correspondent resents the statement that the hidden forces of Freemasonry have had a hand in the troubles in Spain, and by implication, in international politics generally. It is further asserted that British Freemasonry is not associated with that of the Continent, that the principles of the The Masonic Order are excellent, and in nowise anti-Catholic. Church has officially denied each and every one of these suggestions. During the last two centuries Freemasonry has been expressly condemned by ten different Popes in language of surpassing force, and on a series of charges which the average person would think exaggerated, did they, not come from the best informed source in the world and from the Vicars of Christ. In all these Papal condemnations Masonry is regarded as one, undivided body, and anathematised indiscriminately. It is ridiculous to suppose that the Anglo-American craft, the parent and most important body, was excluded from the Popes' accusations. The universal solidarity of the whole Masonic sect is further attested, despite the so-called schism, by Masonic authors themselAll sections moreover, both Continental and Anglo-Saxon, ves. are equally enumerated in the official Masonic Year Books, while English, Irish and American Freemasons send their representative, tji the International Masonic congresses. The objections of the Catholic Church against Freemasonry are grave and fundamental. She is not deceived by their alleged loyalty to the shadowy "Grand Architect of the Universe," because it is sufficient for them "to follow the religion in which all men agree—that is, to he good men and true, or men of .Honour and Honesty." This criterion of belief and conduct admits Jews, Buddhists. Pantheists—in fact anybody.

The Archbishop wishes to remind the clergy that Sunday, October 18, is "Propagation" Sunday, on which, by the Holy Father's direction, the prayer "Pro Fidei Propagatione" is said in Mass as an "oratio imperata pro re gravi."

These figures assume greater importance when we consider the economic crisis which continues to afflict the entire world. In 1930 the Propagation of the Faith was able to distribute 67 million Lire.

And the kingliness of love of the Catholic Church, that is, the charity with which the f aithful make it possible for the Church to support the everincreasing number of Mission'. will flourish once again.

THE RECORD.
Saturday, October 10, 1936.
Two Kural Deans Appointed
The new church grows daily. The tirst bricks have been laid, and the walls will quickly arise. Apart from the new style in church building, which St. Columba's has pioneered in t he Archdiocese, and allowing for the excellent site which the vision and faith of a former Bishop secured, the idea of dedicating the church as a memorial which shall stand as long as Perth remains to remind us of all that we owe to those who sowed the seed of Faith in pain, stress, and. sorrow, which we reap to-day in the abundant harvest of ecclesiastical buildings and institutions—that idea is finding a responsive note in the hearts of many. The church will be called St. Columba's, the greatest of Irish-born saints, and linked with him as the three leaves in a shamrock are St. Patrick and St. Brigid, whose saintly faces will look down on us who pray from the storied window, designed and made by Irish hands in Dublin. We offer t he Nave as a Nave of Remembrance, and to all of you we extend an invitation to be represented, even in a small way, in that abiding tribute to those who have gone from us. Every part of the Nave will be dedicated to the memory of clergy, religious and laity. Already the names of the late Archbishop Clune, Bishop Gibney, Monsignor Verling, Dean Kiely, Father T. O'Grady, Father P. Lynch, and Father P. McBride have been selected by devoted friends, who do not forget, and the anniversary dates of their death will be preserved for all time, so that in doubt, one may come over to St. Columba's and see the date. But the other names of our deceased priests must cry aloud to their friends, and ask that they too should be numbered among those in the Nave of Remembrance. Readily there comes to mind the names Monsignor of Bourke. Archdeacon Smyth, Father _ lohn Masterson, Father J. Reidy. Father More Hallinan. Father Phil Sheridan. Father Morris, Father II. O'Reilly. Father John Moloney, Father Patrick Kennedy, Dr. P. Kennedy — and many others. One family is not unmindful of the memory of a Christian Brother, whose death came to close a very promising career, the late Brother Shields. And shall that grand old pioneer of Clontarf, the late Brother Bodkin, remain f, trgot ten ? The Sisters are also worthy of a v iche in our Nave of Remembrance. Already two names are honoured, that o f the late Sister Blandino, one-time Provincial of the Sisters of St. Joseph of the Sacred Heart in W.A., and that of the late Sister Ita. And should n it a grateful people commemorate the deceased Sisters of any community by a memorial, all uniting to honour their memory? If there is anyone who wishes to help in this laudable scheme, write to The Presbytery, South Perth, for further particulars.

General Business: It was decided that transport for the general Communion would leave the tram terminus as usual as in former years, and a second would possibly be arranged for Rivers-ale members. As this branch has now over a hundred members, it is the earnest desire of the president that e very member will be present at Communion on that day. St. Joachim's has always had about 50 per cent. of its members present on previous years, and this year we hope for a very large improvement on those figures. Two delegates were appointed to represent the branch at the forthcoming conference. Bro. Heagney (president) and Bro. Murphy (secretaryl Two mem• bers were nominated for positions on the D.13., Bro. Ileagney and Bro. Georke. Bro. Keogh suggested that in future table tennis tournaments should be held on nights other than meeting nights.

K ALGOORLIE
The loss of the Dutch airmen in the proximity has drawn attention to Kalgoorlie throughout Australia. Within two days of the first report of the loss planes from Perth and the East were located on Kalgoorlie Aerodrome and actively engaged in the search. Fortunately their quest was soon rewarded and the Dutch aviators appeared little the worst for their unenviable experience. Such is man that air force planes destined for the destruction of humans wers on this, as on many other occasions in Australia, engaged in the rescue of life. By the express on Sunday evening, Very Rev. Dr. Kennedy, Adm., left for Perth to attend the retreat of the clergy at the Monastery, North Perth. Rev, Father Grennan reeturned from Perth on Thursday last, after attending the retreat, Rev. Father Stinson, at present of Northarn, well known on the Goldfields, has been appointed to Norseman. Goldfields Catholics extend their congratulations to Father Stinson and hope that he will enjoy his sojourn in the South Eastern field. Sincere sympathy is felt throughout the Goldfields for Rev. Brother O'Connor, Principal of the Christian Brothers' College, who received word during the week of the death of his mother in Brisbane. "The Record" joins with the Goldfields people in extending their heartfelt sympathy to Brother O'Connor. The friends of Mrs. R. Boylen, ot (Attridge Terrace, Kalgoorlie, will regret to learn of the death of her sister, Sister Mary de Sales, of the Convent of Mercy, Ballarat East. The late Sister, who was born in France, came to Australia as a child with her parents in the '50's, and had been educated in the convent schools of Ballarat and Geelong. Nearly sixty years ago she joined the Convent of -Mercy, in which she was to devote so many years to education. At the time of her death she was 82 years of age. Requiem Mass for the repose of her soul was celebrated in Ballarat East Church on Monday, September 28, and following Mass her mortal remains were intsrred in the Ballarat Cemetery.

To Mrs. O'Loughlin and family "The Re. serd" extends its sincere sympathy. The death of Mr. Tom Fahey has removed from our ranks another of the fine band of early-day Catholics who had withstood undaunted the burden and the heat of the day. Mr. Fahey will be much missed in Church circles, as he was ever ready to support with money and services whatever enterprise was in train. The St. St. Pat-. rick's Day Celebrations Committee will not seem complete without him. He was ever a staunch Labour supporter, and to that movement, too, he gave of his best, but his political views did not leave him intolerant of others—of their politics he was an opponent, but to the man he was kindly and thoughtful. His friends deeply regret his passing, which followed very quickly on his ad. mission to hospital. and extend to his brothers, Ted (of Boulder) and Dave ( Rawlinna), and to his sister, Miss Ellen Fahey, their sincerest sympathy in their sad bereavement. R.I.P. Congratulations to Mr. Frank Tanner, of Wilson-street, Kalgoorlie, on his appointment as a monitor in the Education Department. Frank, who left by last Monday's train for Beria, Lay. erton, completed a fine record at the C.B. College last year with a good pass in the Leaving Examination. His friends wish him every success. To meet their parents, who will return to Australia in the "Orion." on October 13. the Misses Eileen and Agatha Russell left for Perth by the express on Friday evening. GoldflsIds

"Good morning, Father," said one of the men, as the priest drew near. "Good morning!" the priest replied. me, "Don't you remember Father?" the man queried. The priest hesitated, then drew forward a chair. "Yes, I do," he John "You're slowly. said O'Brien. Indeed it is a surprise to meet you here. It's six years, is it not, since I last saw you? But I've heard of your great efforts to promote Catholic Action, and I haven't forgotten the long talks we had when you told me of your plans and ambitions. You've done well, John, I've heard. I wish we had you in Adelaide." "Yes, Father," the man replied, "we have done well, but we've had our disappointments. In the beginning it was difficult.

"Our Study Circle grew; we formed new branches in the parishes which extended even to the country; and, as we had hoped, our trained members began to make themselves felt in the life outside the Catholic community. "Front sheer enthusiasm we devised schemes for making sufficient money to build our own club rooms and establish our own library of Catholic literature. Several of our members have joined the priesthood', and those of us who remain have gradually been absorbed into the different branches of Catholic activity, whilst, from week to week, new students swell the ranks of the Study Circles." The priest nodded his approval. "Our men members of the Catholic Evidence Guild spend their evenings on public platforms doing excellent work in counteracting the influence of the Communists, who voice insidious pro-pagamla amongst the people. Our men writers have taken up the pen in defence of the Catholic Church, and our paper is one of the finest exponents of Catholic We are thought in Australia. making- good men, Father, good citizens, as well as good Catholics.

He w ould not let up; injustice to the helpless roused his indignation He as well as his sympathy. had the satisfaction of winning the right to instruct the Catholic orphans in their religion a few months before the arrival of Bishop Willson relieved him of his responsibilities. Father Therrv's long years of disagreement with Bishop Willson over property rights and title-deeds of church property du not concern us, except to point the moral that the work of the Church goes on in spite of misunderstandings that might even grown into scandals. Bishop Willson's reform of the prison system in Tasmania and Norfolk Island, his great influence in improving mental asylums and the treatment of the insane t hroughout Australia, place him high among the social reformers of our land. His influence must have been the dominant factor that induced the Government of Tasmania in 1846 to grant denominational schools a subsidy of ld. a day per child. With this assured income, most of the denominational schools with from t he control of the Board of Education. As a protest, the Board resigned. The Government looked after the schools until it nominated another Board four years later.

During the absence of Bishop Polding from Australia in 1846, he left Abbot Gregory. of St. Marv's Benedictine Monastery, in charge of the diocese as Vicar General. Abbot Gregory was something of a martinet, who (lid not quite approve of the mild. kindly, if forgetful. rule of Bishop Polding; he seemed obsessed with efficiency based on complete Benedictine control of everything. He took this opportunity of temporary control t o induce the Sisters of Charity to become Benedictines. They refused; they wished to remain loyal to their own body, even th, '!(,11 their superiors werr inunths travel away from them In search of content, some of t hem had to leave the diocese. but they found a home in Tasmania.

"GINGERTOP" RESPONSIBLE A wretched attempt to frighten the life out of "the dear old lady" was made on last Saturday night—the feast of the Little Flower—when a semi-live mouse was placed in between the sheets of Aunt Bessy's bed, and it is thanks to her own carefulness that she is alive to tell the tale. After having duly washed her face and seen that her Sunday shoes were in position for the morning she proceeded to say her Three Hail Mary's in the dark. This done the prudence of her ancient years inclined her to run her hand o ver the bed in the place where her feet fit, and there she felt a suspicious and hard unyielding lump. Keeping control of her imagination and her breath, she managed to find her way to the electric light and blessing herself with Holy Water she took her courage in both feet and wended her way back to the bed to find what she would find. The find proved to be a mechanical mouse that had been sent to Tiddles three months ago by her admirer, "Month o' May," and Gingertop, having been suspected. she was arraigned before a special court on Monday morning. The poor thing admitted her guilt, but pleaded for mercy on account of having to provide her own self with an occasion of innocent mirth. She was let off on her own surety to buy four tickets on St Philomena's statue with the provision that if she won it she would donate it to the "Seven Lovers of St. Philomena."

Mary's Mount. Dear Aunt Bessy,—I enclose 2/6 and a card. I came back from my holidays last week and had a good time. We play cricket after school and will soon be able to go for swims. You come too and bring your bathers with you. I hope you get the £1,000. JOHN PRENDWILLE. Dear John,—Many thanks for the help on to the Thousand. It is still looking rather shaky, but we have two good months to go yet, and I'm hoping. I'd like very much to accept your invation, but I gave my bathers away about twenty years ago and I don't feel justified in buying a new pair out of the funds. AUNT BESSY.

I venture to call attention to a recent Communist pamphlet on the Spanish crisis. Its honest self -witness may prove valuable to the many, Catholics and others, who have summed up the situation in Spain as an inexcusable revolt "against lawfully constituted authority." The pamphlet is entitled "Spain," by Emile Burns. It is "Published by the Communist Party of Great Britain," first printed on July 29 and already in its 150,000. On page 11 we read: "The brief account of events in Spain since 1931, given on earlier pages, shows the vivid contrast between the weakness of the Republican Socialist Government of 1931-1933 and the strength of the Republican Government of 1936. "It would be incredible blindness for anyone in the working class or (41 .the side of democracy and liberty not to see what has made this change possible. It was the developing strength of the working class as a whole; and this, in turn, was made possible by the developing strength of the Communist Party and the triumph of its policy of unity and resolute class-strugole. "As in other countries the leadership of the Socialist Party was hostile to the Communist Party, hostile to a policy of class struggle, filled with illusions of a peaceful, democratic constitutionalism. "This led it to the policy of holding back and even repressing the militant struggle of the rank and file in 1931-1933." 1. This honest statement of the Communist Party makes for
truth; and perhaps for peace which can come and come onl) from truth. 2. No our W ho reads this statement need be under any illusions about the Spanish situation; because though the Government includes no Socialist or Communist, its policy is the Communist policy of "resolute class-struggle," i.e., war. 3. The Communist Party accuse the Republican Socialist Government k1931-1933) of weak ness, because it suppressed their militant insurrection! In other words, insurrection against "lawfully-constituted authority" was right in 1931, and wrong in 1936! 4. The Republican Socialist Government (1931-1933) was under two illusions: first, of a peace ful solution of national difficul ties; and secondly, of a democratic solution of national difficulculties. 5. But the Republ:can Government of 193(, having adopted the full Communist policy, has laid aside the illusion,, of a peaceful and dern,.)cratic in lav i: of the warlike and autocratic solution of "a ..esolut class -;truggle." This was a frank declaration of ‘var; indeed of that scourge of scourges, a civil war. And the o ther class in Spain reluctantl:%: prepared for a resolute self-defence; lest the thing that happen. ed in an unprepared Russia might happen again in an unprepared Spain. But this honest statement of the _ ormitinist Party of Great Britain nius make it incredible that Spain or even Great Britain -,houl be unprepared—for el v ji ()nod Pens avertat

1,866 Patriarchs, Archbishops and Bishops in World Today The growth of the Church in various parts of the world has caused the addition of 40 pages to the newly-issued 1936 edition of the "Annuario Pontificia" the Church's official directory. The pages now number 1,260. T wenty new Cardinals were proclaimed last year, bringing the total up to 68. Five had died during the year--including Cardinal Bourne—and two have died this year, but the tatal remains the same on account of the recent nomination to the Sacred College of Mgr. Mercati and Mgr. Tisserant, who are receiving the Red Hat in a few days' time.
