Tyrolese Passion Plays Reach 6th Centenary Record Audiences Attend at Thiersee their task in the old established Tyrolese fashion as a sort of divine service. Origin and History.
Alois Kaindl, the Christus of the Thiersee Passion Play.
HIS year the picturesque village of Thiersee has celebrated the 600th. anniversary of the famous Tyrolese Passion Plays and the audiences, which have been exceptionally large, promise to exceed in the aggregate last year's figThe performure of 25,000. ances began in August and were continued each Sunday until the end of September.
The play of Thiersee has its origin in the . South Tyrolese Procession Plays of Bozen (now Bolzano), which were composed Katharina Juffinger, who takes the in the period from 1330 to 1340. part of Our Lady. In 1341 the citizens of Bozen made a vow that they would perform the religious play every From Bozen the religious play three years if. as is stated in the spread to other places in the documents, a severe locust pla- Tyrol, among them Thiersee. gue were ended.

The principal players, as in Oberammergau, have for decades been members of old Thiersee families, but there is hardly one house that does not provide at leasi one of the 300 players required for the play. The character of the Saviour is played carpenter, Alois Kaindl. by Alois Kaindl has taken part in the pily since 1895, and since 1921 he has played the character of the Saviour.

Talent.
The family of Juffinger furnishes the play with some prominent actors. The talent seems to be. hereditary in that family, for one of the ancestors, the peasant and poet, Josef Juffinger, notably played the Christus 50 years ago. Now it is Katharina Juffinger, who, in the role of the Mother of God, is greatly responsible for the impressiveness of the play. The 300 persons taking part in the play are simple peasants, wood-cutters, tradesmen, teachers, foresters. the daughters of peasants, and the children of Thiersee, all of whom consider
In 1799 a group of prominent r esidents of Thiersee promised in the name of the village that the Play of the Passion of the Lord would be regularly performed on certain dates. The vow was made in the face of the danger of war. When, in consequence of the wars of those times. Tvrol was transferred to Bavaria, the Bavarian Govt., \\- hich professed free-thinking. I rollibited all religious plays. A petition of the people of Thiersee to the King of Bavaria asking for a repeal of the prohibition was not granted. It was not until 1811 that it was possible, with the assistance of the Crown Prince of Bavaria, to obtain permission for a resumption of the plays.
When the Tyrol became Austrian territory again, the plays ot Thiersee 'were eagerly resumed.

I know that your main purpose is to e xplain the Catholic religion, but may Iask a few back to front questions?

Do the Protestant clergy and their adherents desire the conversion of Catholics to their beliefs? And some of Some of them do. them do not.

Could you give me any authentic statements as to the attitude of Protestant clergymen on this matter? Veto Rev. Dr. Macintvre, of :•;yd. ney, is a representative Presbyterian_ Now in his book on the "Substance of the Christian Faith," pp. 81-83, he says, "We have laid far too much stress on the form, the organisation of the church . . . Each of us may find that a particular form suits us. Well and good! But . . . we are sharers in one common life, and union with Christ imThere plies union with one another. is no -narrowness comparable with that which unchurches any section of Christians because they follow not with us." On those principles, Dr. 'Macintyre is quite content that Catholics should be Catholics if that particular form suits them. He admits that they do belong even now to the true Church of Christ, and is not moved by -any particular desire to convert them. Even stronger are the words of the Anglican, Dr, Percy Dearmer, in his book on "Our National Church." He too wants to hold that all professing Christian Churches are really one. And on p. 160 of his book he writes, ''We have to say 'We are not divided: all And one body we,' and to mean it. the acid test is that there should be no p -oselytisrn." In other words, this Anglican Canon says that it is definitely wrong to try to convert a Presbyterian to Anglicanism. or an Anglican to Methodism, or a Catholic to anything. No matter to what professing Christian Church a man belongs, he is all right as he is, and should be left there, according to these teachings of the Presbyterian Dr. Macintvre and the Anglican Dr. Dearmer. .

Lapsing Through Study of Theology If we leave out the factors of ignorance and worldly advantages, has it ever been known for a Catholic to s tudy theology so well as to cause him to embrace another faith in preference to his own? No man could study theology so well as to be led to abandon the Catholic Church. Tie would have studied it very badly, did he arrive at the notion that he should do so.

FOUR never lead from the Catholic Church. But other factors could enter into the case. A man could plunge into the deep study of theology, yet fail in piety and prayer, thus depriving himsell ot the influence of divine grace. That could be followed by a failure in humility and a tendency to isolated thinking with no allowance for the guidance of the Church. More and more such a man could consciously abandon himself to the dangers of selfsufficiency until his eccentric subjectivism sapped his clear appreciation of essential obligations. It is easy to see that it would be possible for him to arrive at the wrong conviction that he should abandon the Catholic Church. And I believe that some men have been led by a badly -regulated study of theology, coupled with neglect of grace and a failure in humility, to abandon the Catholic Church. They have got themselves into such a mental tangle that they no longer discern the true sense of Scripture, the verdict of history, and the demands of logic. But, even for them, the ultimate (a' use of their defection would lie, not in the intellectual, but in the . moral sphere. And their loss of the faith would not be free from sin.

Your expression "unwanted sinners," too, could be misleading. God wants all men to be saved. No sinner will go to hell whom He did not want to cave. Hell is reserved for sinners who have refused to repent of their sins, and who have died in n wilful state of mortal sin. And the penalty of their wickedness will he fire, though not fire identical in all things with that which we know .atirl experience in this world.

itli VOW- idea here? Firstly, you interpret the fire of hell as if it were exactly like fire as we know it in this world. And that is not justified. Secondly, a dead body is quite unconscious in what it undergoes during cremation, and it is a mistake for us to imagine it as ,enduring hell. Thirdly, we cannot really speak of "sinful bodies." Sin is a moral evil proper to the soul. A soul may sin- 'whilst it is in the body, and by means of the body. But the body as such is not capable of sin. This point is suggestive of further problems, but I have said enough to show that cremation cannot be really likened to hell.
The Bible and Cremation God said, "Dust thou art, and to dust thou shalt return." To my mind, that demands earth burial. .1 am sure that you will not suspect me of advocating cremation. The law of the Catholic Church forbids cremation, and that law I accept. loreover my objections to cremation are not merely based upon my spirit of obedience to the legislation of the Catholic Church. I personally do not like the process. If then, I have to correct your ideas, you can be quite sure that 1 do so with the utmost impat, tiality, and solely because of the demands of truth. Now the text you quote, "Dust thou art, and to dust thou shalt return," in no way demands earth burial; nor does it exclude cremation. God is there merely stating the fact that man shall die. No argument can be drawn from the words as to the manner in which the body will return to du-t Our Lord was buried after His death. Doesn't that mean that He intended all bodies to be buried?

"Is It in the Bible"?
Are All Preachers Hypocrites?
History of Cremation How and why did cremation originate? For centuries before Christ, cremation was practised side by side with earth burial amongst pagan peoples. but from the very beginning Christians repudiated cremation, and consecrated the use of earth burial. Alt Christians sanctioned and adopted this method so wholeheartedly that the Church had no neee e. make express laws on the subject. In the 18th, century. however, rationalistic enemies of the Christian religion tried to revive the pagan practice of cremation, chiefly because it was against the Christian custom, and it seemed a practical and imaginative. way of at. tacking the idea of any future life. A t tirst it made little appeal. But towards the end of last century the ,zpread of unbelie weakened opposition to it; whilst the growing superstitious reverence for everything that pretended to be scientific, disposed many people to welcome a method which talked about hygiene and social progress. When, about 1e30. cremation societies began to be established and government legislation was sought in various countries to render the process legal, the Catholic Church forbade Catholics to have anything to do with it. For, firstly, there are no really ascientific grounds in favour 'if cremation rather than earth burial Secondly, the Catholic Church not only objects to the public profession of irreligion and materialism with which the new fad for cremation was inaugurated, but also condemns it as opposed to our nobler human sentiments, as an unworthy treatment of the body of a Christian which has been the "Temple of the Hob: Spirit- during life, and is to be so honoured by God in the resurrection; and finally, because cremation is opposed to the whole of the burial service which she has retained and used during th,, last 2.000 years And if people want the Catholic religion they must accept it as it is. The Catholic Church can't be expected to introduce modifications into her liturgy and 'discipline to suit the whims of those who apply for admission to her fold.

Your talks incline me to think that the Roman Catholic religion is the one and only true religion. Your thoughts are inclining in the right direction. I would advise you to continue Your interest, read up the subject, and seek instruction from the priest in charge of the district where y ou live. And, above all, pray earnestly to God for the light to perceive and the courage to fulfil His holy will. There alone one sees holy religious worship as Our Lord intended. Though your reasoning on cremation was mostly erroneous, you have arrived at the right conclusion. The Catholic Church is not true precisely because she forbids cremation. crema. don is wrong for Catholics because their Church forbids it. The truth of the Catholic religion rests on other grounds.

Communists Aim to Use Spain as Base for African Disturbance Tendentious Arguments in Favour of Anarchy
It is the more regrettable that the British public should have been so misinformed, for what has been happening in Spain has a lesson for the rest of the world. Because that country has for several generations appeared to live secluded behind the Pyrenees, it would he folly to assume that events there must always be "cosas de Espana." It was civil strife in Spain that precipated the Franco-German War of 1870, and this latest outbreak has roused the most passionate feelings -among those who would probably have the greatest difficulty in locating Si)a in on tlet map. It was Spain, too, that brought Napoleon down in the end, so that it is to be hoped the mistake will not again he made of treating the Peninsula as a world apart.

forward the argument that Great Britain send aid to his opponents because they constituted the Government which had been officially recognised. One does not recollect that they adopted this standpoint when the Left rose in rebellion in the autumn of 1934, but what is lawful on one occasion is surely lawful on another. In actual fact, the British Government has for years r efused to assist either party' in a civil war, and during the Ven-. izelist rising in Greece eighteen months ago, it adopted the same attitude of neutrality- as on the present occasion, without raising any protest 'from the Opposition —but the rebels were or the Left then, which makes all the difference in Socialist eyes. Equally specious is the claim that General Franco's opponents are fighting to defend democracy and Liberalism. If readers of the "News Chronicle" really regard arson, rape, and murder as Liberal ideals, they are welcome to their opinions, but they must not be surprised if the rest of us hold different views. It is time this nonsense ceased, for it is an insult to the great Liberals of the past to quote their principals in defence of slaveowning African potentates and sadistic Spanish anarchists. Let these scribblers of the Left tell us what they really fear, which is that if many more nations wake up to the danger of unrestrained • democracy, one day England, too, may bestir herself-. and they will find a curl) put on their mischievous activities. In the meantime it should not be forgotten that these people are still opposing any preparation for the wars in which they are so desirous the nation should engage. A further argument has been brought forward to the effect that it was quite inexcusable for General Franco to take up arms against a legally constituted Government. Without discussing the corrupt methods by which the Left obtained power at the last general election, one may reply by a quotation from the High Priest of Liberalism, the late Mr. Gladstone: "I am sorry to say that if no instructions had ever been addressed in political crises to the people of this country except to remember to hate violence and love order and exercise patience. the liberties of this country would never have been attained."

A "Christian Front" Rises in Ireland T

More than 15,000 people attended the meeting, at which Lord lfzench proposed a resolution "tendering ardent sympathy to the Cardinal Primate of Spain on the ruin of his churches and the Also slaughter of his priests. co the Christians of Spain in their fight against Atheistic Communism, which does not hesitate to ruin their country in the e ffort to deprive its people of their natural right to religious and economic freedom."

"We must bewail particularly such fraticidal carnage, so many offences on Christian life and dignity, such a ruining of the most sacred and precious heritage of a noble people. The happenings in Spain proclaim the extent to which the very foundations of all culture and civilisation are menaced. The insidiousness with which the subversive forces are seeking common ground with Catholics, is extremely dangerous and designed to deceive the world in favour of the unchanging programme of hate," said the Sovereign Pontiff.

"Given to Mrs. Catherine Coffey, as a little token of thanks for the care and zeal with which she commenced and conducted the school at Melbourne, by Rev. P. B. Geoghegan, 29th. November, 1839." She must have been a greathearted woman; although she buried her two-year-old daughter in the June of that year, she continued her volunteer work until Father Geoghegan was ready to commence an official school in the new year of 1840. The First School. The first official Catholic school in Melbourne was opened on 1st. January, 1840, by Father Geoghegan. and a few volunteer assistants. He was looking for a suitable married couple to give them charge of the boys and girls, but the school came before the teachers. The records do not state where the classes were held, but the custom of the period would point to the use of the church building as a school on weekdays. A wooden church had been erected on the site now occupied by St. Francis' Chi-rch in Elizabeth-street, when the little chapel, erected near Peter Bod..cin's cottage, proved toe wall for the growing congregation. We have formal evidence of the foundation of this school. On 15th. January. 1840, Father Geog-hellan, as Government chaplain, sent in his offic41 report V: the Superintendent of Port Phillip, t he Hon. Chas. JcFeph Latrobe: . "A small R.C. 6C11001 was opened on the first of this month. The largest number of children in daily attendance has been forty-one, in about equals of both sexes.. No permanent teacher has yet been appointed. The clergyman with a few others devote themselves for the present to. the instruction of the children. Meanwhile arrangements are being made to engage a male and female teacher (sic), whose salaries will depend on the Government." (Mackie. p. 20.) This school, founded and taught bv Father Geoghegan, and placed a little later under the care of Mr. John Lynch and his vile Mary. was similar to all the schools under the legislative control of Sydney. The Government grant provided by Bourke was equal to the local contribution collected as school fees. It was known as the half-and-half system. Sir George Gipps. who succeeded Bourke in 1838, fixed a limit to the official grant. He allowed assistance on a sliding scale, from one penny to three halfpence for each child ,in daily a ttendance; the total grant must not exceed £25 per quarter. The schools were evidently one-man schools; if the teacher was married. the wife helped the husband. but the one salary had to satisfy b oth. (To he Continued.)

HORTLY before the CatalIonian Connnunists cleared out the Benedictine monks from the famous Abbey of Montserrat, the Holy Father had selected one of them, Dom Anselmo Albareda, to till the post of Prefect of the Vatican Library, an appointment in which His Holiness, a former Prefect himself, must have taken a personal interest. Born at Barcelona in 1892, Father Ansehno became a choirboy in the Escolania of this ancient abbey, whose school of music is the oldest in Europe, and apart from his journeys of r esearch, Father Ansehno's life and labours have been unfolded within its walls. His principal work is his "Bibliography of the Benedictine Rule,' to which he has devoted the greater part of his life. Other works are his "Analecta Montserratensia" and "Catalonia Monastica." In 1915 he was placed in charge of the Abbey library, containing more than 120,000 volumes. In 1918 there commenced to be published under his direction the tomes of the "Analecta Montserratensia." Later he commenced another series of documents and wrote the history of Montserrat. The Abbey is the most important centre of Catalonian culture, and Father Anselma has written his books in Catalan.

BRITISH LABOUR MOVEMENT In view of recent articles in this paper and of letters from our readers, we reprint the following article from "The Worker," which sets out the attitude of Labour towards Communism. - While the views expressed are official and entirely commendable, there is need of incessant vigilance seeing that Communism is so insidious and changes its tactics with such rapidity:— In Britain", as in Australia, the Communist Party does not receive any encouragement whatever, although attempts have been made, as in Australia, to form what is termed the Having regard to the avowed tactics of "United Frant." the Communists, the British Labour Movement has not been attracted because of the knowledge that what is actually aimed at is a disunited front.
Training and Employment Must go Hand in Hand
Recently the British Labour Party published a pamphlet in which was exposed the organised attempts that have been made bring to by the Connnunists about disruption. The pamphlet emphasises that the Labour continually has Movement sought to widen democratic liberties in all national affairs— the Trade Union Congress in the industrial field, and the Labour Party in the political sphere.
That is why we have spent so much time and money on our employment department during the past twenty-three years, Our Business Course graduates get Gold Efficiency Badges and free employment service for life. The prompt provision of a first appointment enables them to earn their tuition fees long before others have secured employment.

While talking about a fort.

Friends of Soviet Union, International Labour DelenCe, and the British Anti-War Council.
It is further stated that -In Britain the strength of the Communist Party and its electoral successes have been negligible. The only one Parliamentary seat held by the Communists was obtained at the expense of the Labour Party. Communist principles, Communist propaganda, and Communist organisation have made no helpful contribution to the advance of British Labour. On the contrary, Communist influence in Britain has been a serious drag on the Labour Movement wherever, and whenever it has been exercised." The position in Australia is similar to that in Britain and Labour in the Commonw , alth holds the same view of Communkm. The tactics of disruption have been recognised and the Party enunciating them, and trying to put them into practice, has been as emphatically repudiated.

.\ his latest book, "Eyeless in Gaza" (which was recently of a the centre dispute among censorship circles), Aldons Huxley has dealt with in an man's oldest problem It is the acutely modern way. problem of human happiness which he calls the problem of And he has solved it freedom. In fact he has tolerably well. solved it in the only possible way such a problem can be solved, through love and sacrifice. The problem of inevitable pain can only be solved by a deliberate acceptance of pain. And in the long run only love can accept suffering. It is through the kenosis, the exinanitio, the emptying out of all brutal grabbing selfishness, that man attains to true love and through love to Eyeless, like anhappiness. other Samon, amidst the ruins of wrecked past purposes. Aldous Huxley sees. Reading "Eyeless in Gaza," I felt (may Mr. Huxley forgive rue the comparison) as if I were taking a walk through a human zoo. I saw in all sorts of cages all sorts of men trying to free themselves through all sorts of escapes from all sorts of sufferMr. Huxley seems to ing. agree with Ignatius Loyalo. Ignatius compares man to a caged being: "Anima in hoc corpore tasnquam in carcere," his "soul imprisoned in this corruptible body." Can anyone sincerely doubt Only, I that man is caged in? suppose, the infinitely naive editors of the New York "World Telegram" and their cronies. These simple-minded gentlemen still believe in the antediluvian fable of absolute freedom. Caged in by a hundred human limitations, limited health, limited w ealth, limited intelligence, limited biological potentialities, conflicting limited multiple urges, man is about as far from the absolute freedom of our op timistic liberals as a child in his w alker or in his nursery cage.
What more natural than a caged animal trying to escape? In "Eyeless in Gaza'. Mr. Huxley has shown escape UF quite a fancy variety of mechanisms. The escape through sex, through irony or cynical detachment, through devotion to philology, anthropology or any other sort of mental orgy, through an enthralling love of the pseudo-spiritualistic kind, through political mysticism. through narrow devotion to mere material drudgery, through sentimentalism, through tireless activism of the kind that is so popular in America.

It is the story of Mrs. Foxe, the intense, pseudo-mystical egotist, and of John Beavis the philologist, the eternal classifier of words, feeding on Greek roots as the old hermits used to feed on the roots of plants amid the silence and in the aridities of dusty S yrian deserts. The list of cages is not yet complete. You have Joyce Amberley caged in the cushioned cot of her comfortable smugness. GOggler Ledwige locked in with the mummies of his anthropological museum. Jane Thursley bottled up in a flask of the purest, daintiest sentimentalism. Gerry Watchet riveted to his own mean self by the most brutal selfishness. Mr. Thursley the parson, seeking liberation in liberating others while he enslaves his own household with the ponderous weight of his pugnacious ,egotism. Finally in the largest and airiest of all cages we find Anthony Beavis. His is the lion's cage: the spacious royal cage of intellectualism. Is Anthony Reavis to be taken for a mere pseudonym for Aldous Huxley? Anthony Beavis is the eternal "looker on," the shirker. From the corn.
fortable well-cushioned armchair of his "theoretic reason" he contemplates the battles of life without perspiring. He criticises, analyses and smiles at other men's doings. Not, however, without a secret envy of their efficiency. Not altogether without a secret, hopeless dismay at his own ineffective unreality. But Anthony Beavis has two redeeming qualities. He is not self-satisfied. He has the inquietudo cordis, the restless heart. He secretly loathes his own niggardly selfishness. And he is inwardly honest. If he is a cowward, he knows it. If he is mean and disloyal, he knows it. If he is ultimately ignorant, he knows it. If
he is dissatisfied with himself, he owns up to it. In his own subtle, deep, muddle-headed but plastic ana poetic ways in fact in his own most English way) he thinks out his problems for himself starting by acknowledging
that they are problems. His is no teachers-college dogmatism. He has that nice touch of scepticism which leads him to test and re-test his own convictions. Little by little he works
his way up from a perfectly nauseating ego-centrism to a more or less hazy concept of love, goodness and sacrifice The book ends with a canticle that honours and exalts an unselfish love There Anthony stops, somewhere towards the middle of Plato's symposiurn, wistfully contemplating abstract But as we close the last goodness. page of the book we see him hoisting himself down from his tower of ivory rolling up his sleeves and preparing to love and serve his fellow men with something more than mere criticisms Yes, and all that, even at the risk of having his eyes blacked by some wellmeaning but nevertheless brick-headed British anti-pacifist. There is then in this book a growth and an optimistim. Mr. Huxley leaves off being a cynic to become a glorified Rotarian. It would be mean to smile and not recognise the splendid idealism of his last purpose. Cynicism has given place to love. And if we still miss the first commandment of the Law, we find a wholehearted endorsement of the second:
"Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself"; and a groping, groping, groping after the first: "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart and with thy whole soul." Huxley-vs technique for the distribution of his matter is new and interesting. He hops from one date to another, from to-day to thirty years ago, then to twenty-nine year from now,
back again to to-day and again to fifteen, thirty of twenty-six years from the present, with the easy unconcern of a canary hopping from one perch to the next. One feels rather giddy at first with all this jerkiness, but one getit used to it. And the method After all that is now is effective. one does get to knctw people.

joyments, they show themselves eternally enslaved and eternally unhappy. And so the old, old problem is once more formulated in terms of 1936: "Inquietum est cor nostrum, Dornine, donee requiescat in Te." "our heart is restless, Lord, until it finds its repose in Thee." Huxley's book is ultimately a psy-
chological catalogue and its content is a wonderful collection of fa-ii-c'y forms of futile freedom. Freedom is synonymous of strength. Only the strong can be free.
But men, even
the strongest of them, are not strong. Mr. Huxley has rediscovered this tremendous truism, so forgotten and so ignored by so many educators infected with Rousseau's absurd optimism. But Mr. Huxlev's discovery is only a partial one. Freedom will not and cannot be realised in terms of human weakness but only of divine strength. Three thousand years ago a shepherd lad in Palestine sang: "I love Thee, my God, my strength, my rock, my castle and my freedom." And Paul Claudel, paraphrasing St. Paul, has written: "each man needs in himself someone who shall he more himself than himself." "Quelqu'un qui soit " moi phis moi-meme nee

which wore out after five years' hard use. They also \'ore out what bicycles they had. Yet, iii 192(), barely two years, they had established ()00 centres, with a membership of 26,000, in Belgium. Opposition came from political, economic, and other organisations; and the big question of Flemish nationality, always a trouble in Belgium, interfered with the success of the movement. Two Bishops, who were favourable, died, and some priests said that the Pope had as yet spoken of Catholic Action only for Italy, and not for Belgium. When His Holiness sent his famous letter on the subject to Cardinal Bertram, of Cologne. in l928. things changed for them. Their Bishops, who till then had limited their help to blessing the work, now entrit teel to them officially the definite mission of Catholic Action. They entered on organisation on a national scale, and -introduced specialised divisions into the work. Fhey aimed at better and more efficient methods, and began an intensk e pre:, campaign. Some of Mlle's best leaders became presidents of different phases of the work, which spread very rapidly. helped by auxiliary a ociation, like the Children of Mary.

The Right to Strike
The present hold-up of a section of the bus service and the possibility of a stop-work decision among shop-assistants at the week-end, raises the ethical ,questions of whether there is a right to strike, and if so when and how it may be exercised. In this connection it is interesting to note that the Encyclicals of Popes Leo XIII. and Pius XI. do not forbid recourse to strikes, but clearly uphold the right of workers to form associations for self-protection as a natural right which the State cannot forbid, but is bound, of it nature, to uphold. Hence, in any specific instance a trade union is justified in seeking advantages, whether of wages, hours, or other conditions, to which its members are moral - entitled. In the two present issues the workers appear to have real grievances, of hours in one case and of wages in the other, which could have been remedied without the extreme measure of a strike, had not the employers exhibited such an uncompromising front of obstinacy.

Being as he admits another deserter (and their name is Legion) from the Loyalist cause, he may yet see the Spanish situation in its true light.

He believes the rebellion gave the Communists "their only chance to gain control." I believe the rebellion gave the Spanish people their only chance to win Spain back for the Faith and to eradicate 'loathsome Communism from their fair land. The Labour movement owes much to Catholic adherents, who stuck to it through Its lean periods when it was not fashionable to belong to it. Many of its stalwarts were products of our Catholic schools—schools, too, the just claims of which have been ignored by Governments Labour sucdassive The temple of throughout Australia. Labour has been insecure for quite a. long time. Its foundations have become white or rather red-anted, and are beyond repair. I suggest that it be abandoned altogether, and a new structure built of non-combustable material, strictly haring the use of Russian red bricks in its construction. If this course be strictly adhered to believers in Christianity living accordine to their "theological theories" can safely enter its portals and assist in framing a constitution based upon that Encyclical of Pope Leo XIII., being as it is the only genuine charter of labour yet conceived. But all this might savour too much of theology and be voted detrimental to Labour's "solidarity." Labour" "Young In conclusion, seems fearful of the consequences of Labour's alliances. His fears may yet be realised. Catholic opinion, properly organised, may yet make or mar the destinies of Labour.

OBSERVER. Fremantle. Oct. 14. 1936.
"Give us this day our daily bread" are words that are on our lips daily, but while the bread, and the butter also, are showered on us in generous proportions, we find a sinister organisation at work depriving the people ot the plenty that God in His generosity has made available. Surely this is not what the Catholic Church stands for, and yet in many instances there is a marked indifference to make any reference to such facts on the plea that monetary matters are none of the Church's business. We notice with dismay the alarming increase in birth-control and the strong condemnation of it by high dignitaries of the Church, but is this not one of the evils of the very system that the Church, through her Press, The wars of mentions so seldom? the past and the expectation of more ghastly ones to follow, are not designed to encourage the procreation of the race, as parents like to contemplate a better destiny for their children than to have them blown into a shapeless mass of splintered bone and lacerated flesh, which is all the present ungodly system has to offer. I am sure that it will interest your readers to note the following table that shows the sinister bite of taxation that absorbs the enormous sum of £95,000,000 annually from the already inadequate spending power.of a large majority of the people. This table comes from an authoritative source: 4lbs. of sugar pays in taxation 81d. approx. Cigarettes, at 3s., 11n approx. Tobacco, at 1/10, 1/1 approx. Butter, at 1/6, 7id. approx. Petrol, at 4/9, 1/10i, approx. The total, amounting to 1377, pays in direct tax 6/4, and in addition to the above prices include land tax, water rates, municipal rates, sales tax, unemployment tax, income tax, and a host of other taxes that all have to be shouldered by the taxpayer; and for what purpose? One is tempted to ask, What is this colossal debt of 11,250,000,000 that costs Australians f 1,000,000 a week in interest? Certainly not in the Commonwealth, or if it is, it must be particularly elusive, as I don't get my hands on much of it, but have nevertheless to contribute to wards the interest on something that does not exist. If these matters are not a concern of the Catholic Church, standing as it does for the welfare of well its children, temporal as as spiritual, then I don't understand Catholic doctrine. I am sure that it would be possible, as outlined by Mr. Kelly, to mould through your columns a large public opinion on this very vital matter, as this is necessary in a democratic country, such as ours is supposed to be, to ensure any change, and thereby bring closer the day when conditions in our sunny land will be nearer what Our Saviour intended then they are to-day.—Yours, etc., J.

Sacred Heart High School Old Girls' Association Last week-end was a busy enc fur the members of the Sacred Heart High School Old Girls' Association, when they met on two occasions. Saturday afternoon was devoted to a general meeting, at which a new set of rules were discussed, and approved of, by those present, such rules to apply as trom the beginning of the next financial year. When business was dispensed with, members were entertained at a dainty afternoon tea by the Reverend Mother and the Sisters. During this function opportunity was taken by the President, Miss May Hohnan, M.L.A., to present Mrs. G. ' Watt, a retiring vice-president, with a beautiful bouquet of red and white roses, tied with red ribbon, representing the school colours, for her sterling services in the past. Miss Holman spoke in glowing terms of the high esteem in which Mrs. Watt was held by the committee and members, she haying been an enthusiastic member and willing worker for the Association since its inception. Mrs. Watt suitably responded. On Sunday morning, at the Sacred Heart Church, the first General Holy Communion of the Association was held at the nine o'clock Mass, followed. by a Communion Breakfast at the C onvent, when those present had a very enjoyable time. During the breakfast Miss Holman kindly thanked the Reverend Mother and the Sisters for allowing the Convent to be made available for the two functions, and expressed the regret of all the members that the Reverend Mother, .owing to ill-health, was unable to be present.

THE RECORD
"Catholic"
or
"Koman Catholic'
(Rev. E. P. Reynolds.)
A
GREAT many people who are not in communion with us try to draw a distinction between the two terms, Roman Catholic and Catholic. They affirm that the Roman Catholic Church does not constitute the whole Universal Church, but is only a portion of it. They assert that the English Church, the Greek Church, and so on, along with the Roman Catholic Church are equal parts of the Church founded by Christ. the differences between them being only accidental. In ,order to solve the matter let us make a very careful and unbiased investigation, for it is a subject of very great importance. What the Fathers Say. Let us consult the faihers of the Church. By the Fathers we mean those men who were distinguished in the early ages of the Church for their great learning, eminent holinePs and sacred writings. . You may minutely scrutinise their manuscripts, more particularly those of the four great Greek Doctors, SS. Athanasius, Basil, Gregory, and John Chrysostom ; the four great Latin Doctors, SS. Ambrose, Augustine, Jerome and Gregory the Great: They made no mention of such a distinction. In the Middle Ages there were four other great Doctors of the Church: St. Anselm. Archbis!top hot of Clairvaux; St. Thomas hot of Clairvauj ; St. Thomas Aquinas. and St. Bonaventure. These, along with the most tinguished Doctors later of times: St. Francis of Sales, Bishop of Geneva. and St. .''‘lphonsus Liguori. have also failed to make mention of such an allege'! distinction, but on the c.mtrary they always in the strongest language pointed out the Oreness of the Church : one Faith.

The spectacle of a Young woman and a young man who disagree on everything from spinach to toothbrushes, but manage in their impetuous way to work out their heavy problem, would be difficult to present without being entertaining. Yet "The Bride Comes Home" is more than that. The picture could not have been better cast. Lovely Miss Colbert is superb as the society girl whose father has lost all his money

SANE PSYCHOLOGY
The Scholastic Teaching. In the problem of the Perception of the Material Universe, t wo points connected with the ambiguous terms we have been discussing have to be kept apart. They are, in fact, two distinct questions—the one, my apprehension of extension and extramental reality in any form, the other, my cognition of the "NonEgo" or Extra-Organic portion of the material world. To begin with the first: we hold it to be certain that at all events in the case of its own organism the "Ego" has an immediate perception of extension. In sensations of sight and pressure, there is directly revealed dimensions. space of two Whether the cause of the sensation is externalised, projected beyond the surface of the extended organism, or not, the conscious state aroused immediately presents extension. The proof of this lies in the fact that if extension were- not so given the perceptions and conceptions of space of which in mature life possessed we are indubitably could never have been generated. If the mind knew only its own simple subjective modifications, our present cognition of material objects would be impossible. No aggregation. composition. or fusion of mental states which individually do not present any element of extension, could produce the notion of extension. If some of our senses have directly revealed space to us. the representations of material objects which we form can be accounted for: if none of them have done so. these representations could never have arisen. The First Question. Extra-mental Perception: Now we ask: Do any of our percipimake immediately ent acts known to us the existence of a r eality other than ourselves? It is here precision and consistency in the use of terms "Ego," External World. and the rest, become vitally important for clearness of thought in the We have present discussion. egrgigignngl,_ tgeintNaMtgr LAST WEEK'S ANSWERS. 1.

Rosemary and Rhatigan t Continued from Page 21.1
Then Rhatigan understood. They had asked him if his son ever sent him home seeds from Japan,. and unhesitantly he had said no, but this was something different. When, thr en d with dismissal, he had turned to Our Lady for help and had placed the statue sent to him by Brother Joseph in ha place, to remind her that she was in charge ) f the garden. Then he had thrown on the refuse hcal, the chaff—as he then thought —used as packing for the statue. A single shower had helped the seeds to break the husks and the tropical sunshine had done the rest. Thus was the phenomenon explained, and even Rosemary was szttistied at the notoriety into which the Grange garden and its gardener had sprung. There was no further question of Rhatigan having to leave. And to Rosemary he had been given more than a passing interest He was not just a stupid old man who could not keep his garden in order without water. That part she soon forgot. The fairy flowers were very lovely, and to Mr. Bowmont's relief, they attracted Rosemary again and again to the ladder in the potting shed. Rhatigan's philosophy of life %vas something very different to the butterfly existence that had satisfied thoughtless pretty. Rosemary up to this. He amused her with the quaint way he had of expressing world-old t ruths and, unconsciously, he was giving her a totally new outlook upon the world. Her father, so delighted at not being cajoled into parting with the honest old man, was both glad and amused when he found that Rosemary had come round to her elder's opinion Rhatigan. of There was no question now of a change of gardeners. Our Lady had obtained for him the favour that he had asked for. The first time that Rosemary had heard the story of the Japanese seeds she had laughed a rippling laugh of pure amusement, but she had asked for a r epetition of the story. She had wanted to know all about Joseph and his work in Japan. Then about his vocation in particular, and all vocations to the r eligious life in general. It was not long before her parents were not her only slaves at the Grange. Old Rhatigan loved her too. He loved to tell her of Jo and his work for God. He loved to talk of Our Lady and of the favour she had obtained front her Son for him. He ans‘vered 'questions. as best he could. that Rosemary asked him. Intelligent questions. that he had to pray for light before answering. Rosemary was beginning to know something about the Catholic Church. Some day perh ap s —perhaps. WHAT COULD YOU DO WITH 0,000?

135 REALISED The results of the Children's Fete for the Busbies, held at St. Mary's School, Kalgoorlie, have given fresh hope for the realisation of this year's hig Objective, and Aunt Bessy wishes to thank Rev. Dr. Kennedy, Adm., the priests, Sisters, grown-ups and children, whose united interest and generosity resulted in the donation of 135 to the funds. It was truly re-echoed by the one who wrote last week's account of the Bushies' School at Katanning that "One must either be very enthusiastic in the cause of the Bushies or else ignore them altogether." So many do ignore this glorious and laudable work that to those who have its growth at heart an effort such as is annually made at Kalgoorlie is very sweet and refreshing. So, too, the efforts made by the Bushies' Enthusiasts at Boulder, roolgardie, and every other centre where the work of the Scheme is known and appreciated, but it does make one wish. ful that the interest would extend and not remain the precious delight of the few. Yet, thanks be to God for The Few! The evidence of their generosity, their co-operation and their good-will is the encouragement that will keep the Scheme functioning if not at a yearly increased rate, at least steadily and ef. fectually. and as long as that continues then Rev. Dr. "in-Mahon should
be satisfied that his planting of the seed has not been in vain, and His Grace the Archbishop consoled that the iambs in the more arid portions ot his told are being duly watched over and guarded.

Dear "Back from the Wilds,"—I'm glad a wild kangaroo didn't get you during your travels, and the offering shows that you have not lost interest in the Corner during your absence. St. Benedict was made financial some weeks ago. so I have given Pope Pius the Tenth the offering instead, as he is one of en'.' own specials, AUNT BESSY.

Pinky and scentless, but wilting for a breath of air in the open, are still packed up in close proximity to the "dear old lady" and are eager to plead for a half-crown towards the £1,000 Objective. If you have a heart, gentle reader, apply for at least one, and do your best to get it made financial between this and December 13—the closing date for all activities in connection with the Cardboard Brigade of 1936. A nome de guerre may he used for letters to the Corner, but all ap plicants for cards will be expected to get them filled in promptly and must furnish full name and address, 1111111i111111111i11111111111111111111111:11111i1111111111P1111!111111P1191 Dear Aunt Bessy,—She did pass it on when she saw the tickets, though I had no trouble in selling her one. I am returning the butts and 5s; the response was very good everywhere. Are you going to the Show? (No; I've decided to wait and see it on the Pictures, as I can get a free pass for them.) I heard the other day that y our correct name is Abe. Should I address vou as Uncle? Best wishes for the Objective from, THE SOOK. Dear Sook,--Thank you for your good work with the book of tickets, and kin sorry I didn't have "herself" to represent the raffle at the Show, as I'm sure she would have made an excellent profit on the right side. "Abe" may be, baby, a most necessary business title for me to own sometimes, hut. to you I will always be A.B., so continue to address me as such. AUNT BESSY. Dear Aunt Bessy,--Here is another box of stamps. The people in my department say I have an eye for stamps in the W.P.B. as keen as the one a Jew has for threepence on the pavement. Some of my colleagues ev( n go so far as to imagine I am laying the foundation of my own fortune, but the only treasure I hope to receive is a spiritual one tit) in Heaven. Enclosed is a mite for the Bushies, and please pray for me. THE ORPHAN. Dear Orphan,—Thank you for the stamps, and thank you for the mite, and I am glad You are interested enough to keep your keen eye on the W.P.B. He who noted the Widow's Mite still sees all that is given with a pure intention and you will not be disappointed later on if you keep faithfed to Him. AUNT BESSY Crazy Cottage, Gigglesville. Dear Aunt Bessy,—Although I have not written to the Corner since the last time, I feel after reading that letter from Gingertop that I must spare a few moments to tell you of my mother's indignation at her remarks re the "colour" of our family. They say that black and red go well together, but this seems to be the exception to the rule, for they certainly clash every time they meet. ('Tis better than being hash ever time they meet, ma cherie.) We did meet that little villain during our holiday, and it must have been her "top" ,that made it so hot crossing the Great Australian Dessert. (Fi'm, what kind of dessert is that? I've never sampled it.) Her mother better be careful in her choice of the day for the Show, because if it is a Prize day one cannot tell what might happen??? Last week you sent greetings to my little cousin, Marie Therese, but as she cannot write because of a bone in her big toe, she has asked me to thank You for your kind thought. I'd also like to know why You always say something in your replies to Gingertop's letters that upset my mother? (Can Ihelp it if she wen't study her own indigestion?)

He had on other occasions severely condemned beauty competitions and forbidden Catholic girls to take part in them, because such competitions were degrading to woman hood and instances were not wanting in which winners of them had afterwards met with moral disaster. It was anything but hopeful to find men who were regarded as decent citizens sponsoring, and even commer-

HE fourteenth annual Missiology Week which was held in Louvain, Belgium, at the end of August, 1930, attained the same success as preceeding ones. Members of 45 religious congregations, representing 15 different nationalities, attended the sessions. The general subject discussed this year was "Witchcraft in Mission Lands," a subject of extreme importance to the missionary apostolate because of the difficulties which sorcerers of all kinds present to the advance of the Gospel. The Secretary of the Mission Week, Rev. Pierre Charles, S.J., Professor of the University of Louvain. and of the Missiology Faculty of the Pontifical Gregor'an University in Rome, very successfully endeavoured to define withcraft, a particularly delicate task, because of the ztbun'
cialis:ing, these displays on beaches to advertise bathing costutnes or assist benevolent purposes. No work of charity should de pend on such a course for its maintenance, he said. It was even less encouraging to find the daily Press making capital cnit of these competitions by publishing pages of photographs ot bathing beauties. If this condition of thing continued, he w ould not hesitate to advise his people to ban Monday papers from their homes.

Without 18 ing to legislate or dictate to competent authorities, there was a wide discussion those present regarding this delicate point. u N‘,th on repressi could not be pSra ucc thised creating 'many serious difficulties, and it would not do to attempt to suppress completely the superstitious which fear r eigns among the natives. At the close of the discussions the m embers were agreed in recognising- that in principle great prudence is necessary if any attempt is made to curb the prac-. tises of sorcerers by means of special legislation. It might possibly happen that such measures would have the opposite effect to that desired and lead the natives to believe that the colonial authorities were finally recognising the efficacy of the power of fetishes. In fact, education and formation are better than repression and the missionlries are making a powerful con' t ribution along these lines by 2-radually breaking down the in-. fluence which the sorcerers and iwitch )eople, doctors exercise over the
