The fat old man was in a bad temper. "Where the dickens is the smokingroom in this place?" he shouted. The hotel porter remained calm. 'There is a door over there with 'Lounge: Gentlemen Only,' on it," he said. "You ignore that and walk straight in." Gipsy: "I'll tell your fortune, sir." "How much?" "Half a crown." "Correct."
"That's a good horse—he goes ten miles without stopping. Want to buy him?" "No—he's no good to me. I live eight miles from where I work, and I'd have to walk back two miles every time I rode him." The secretary of the cricket club had reason to complain about the state of the pitch. "Look at the grass," he said. "I think the trouble is due to rabbits." "I'm sure it is," observed a member of the committee. "We must get some better batsmen." A boxer was being badly knocked about by his opponent, but the crowd was enthusiastic and there was much applause during each round. One of his seconds whispered to him: "Cheer up, Bill. The crowd's wiv yet." "Yes," said Bill, "and I wish I was wiv the crowd." A small boy was making his first acquaintance with stewed figs. "Eat up your figs like a good boy," said his mother. "I don't like them," he replied, "they're only skins filled with fullstops."

The shopper was on her way out after leaving her list of groceries to be delivered. Suddenly she turned and said, coldly: "Never mind the plums, Mr. Dugan. I see the cat is sleeping on them."

The Curse of Poverty
Biassed Ignorance Mr. Russell said that to defend the uiaChristian aggression of Abyssinia by Italy is biassed ignorance, and a definite refusal to face unpalatable facts. Does Mr. Russell himself know the facts? We have been supplied with such information as the press agencies have wanted to give us. And what they have wanted to give us has been dictated by a policy other than a sheet love of historical truth for its own. Every sane man in Australia has to confess to a certain degree of ignorance concerning the true character of the Italo-Abyssinian dispute. And our confidence is not increased by the number of later contradictions of previous reports dished up for our consumption, but when the charge of bias is made, it cuts both ways. If there is a bias in favour of Italy, there is a bias against her. And when a Protestant clergyman launches an attack on the Catholic Church because he disapproves of Italy's exploits, one cannot but suspect religious bias. Above all when no protest comes from the same lips when the British Air Force destroyed the water supplies on the Indian frontier by bombing them in order to reduce the tribes through a very agony of thirst. Not felr a moment would I attempt to justify any Italian barbarity by pointing to British barbarity. I merely point out that bias opens its eyes widely to the one, and sedulously closes them to the other. The one will evoke indignant protests, whilst the other is passed over iii ilenee.
Reason or Prejudice? AsIhave said, these are probably reasons why many British people do not become Catholics. They are entirely irrelevant to the issue. I know that it is a human failing for strong feeling to prevent a clear And if what you say be nidgment. true, you really hold that British people are particularly liable to this failing. if so, their reason for not becoming Catholics is not that there is anything wrong with the Catholic re-
Not necessarily., When the Eterna, Son of God came into this world He embraced poverty, and promised speIf anycial blessings to the poor. thing He condemned the other excreme of wealth, and declared that riches are much more likely to take men from God than poverty. At the same time, a great deal of the poverty .n this world is due to the injustice And that injustice is unof the rich. doubtedly the enemy of God, Again, abject poverty can be, and often is, the occasion of temptations to crime. And in this sense, poverty could be regarded as the enemy of God.
Why Not Abolish It? If poverty be in any way the enemy of God, why do we Christians hesitate in abolishing it. Men will never succeed in abolishing poverty entirely. Our Lord has said, "The poor you will always have with lint that does not alter the you.fact that there are far too many poor, and that the cause of their poverty is not according to God's will. Why, then, do we Christians hesitate in abolishing this excessive poverty of so many people? For the simple reason that the vast majority of those who are really Christians are amongst the very poor whose lot is to be remedied. In other words, we Christians have not within our hands the means whereby we can abolish such injustice. Our Lord warned us that, the more money a man gets, the less likely he is to be a good Christian. And the wealth of the world is concentrated in the hands of rich men who have no Christian inspiration to use their power for the alleviation of poverty, and the bettering of the lot of the poor at what they regard as their - own expense. It is because they won't obey Christian principles that the poor also abandon Christian principles, turn Communist, and proceed to take by force what the rich unjustly reserve for themselves It takes, a lot of Christian principle on the part of the poor to refrain from Communism, and appeal to social justice by constitutional means, whilst those who control the goods of this world are quite deaf to the claims of social justice.

Does God Tell Us To Think? A philosophical friend bids me remember that most people -a ould rather do a day's hard labour than five minutes' hard thinking. That is often the case But many of those who do tackle the hard thinking often fail to think correctly. It does not follow that, just because a man does think, he is bound to arrive at sound conclusions. Some men think without first getting adequate knowledge of facts as a basis for their thoughts Others may have the right facts, yet fail in logic and end in quite unjustified conclusions. Does God command us to think as well as work?

Having endowed us with reason. He e)spects us to use it to the hest of our ability. Is it possible that, notwithstanding our hard work, we have failed to carry out God's commandment, "In the sweat of thy brow thou shalt eat thy bread?" That was not really a command. ment. It was the declaration of a penalty upon mankind as a result of sin. And the more the anxious toil and the less the return, the more evident becomes the penalty. But leaving this on one side, the prevailing social injustice in the world is due a great deal to the failure of men to observe God's commandments dealing with justice and charity.

The question of compulsory schooling, the education of children isolated in the country, the method of dividing the Government grant -the securing of competent teachers, were all important problems in themselves. but the real issue was to determine the ruling power in education— the Church or the State." (Ibid. p.28.) The Growth of the National System. W hen all evidence was taken from the best qualified and the most interested people in the c ountry, it was found that the majority of witnesses favoured a National System in preference to a Denominational System. They Would prefer the State to control the schools rather than the ChurThe Commission recom ches. mended the Government to adopt the plan, suggested by Governor Bourke a decade ago, the Irish National System. This meant that the selection of teachers and the management of the school
soon saw that the dependence of the mission on the Monastery was having a harmful effect upon the school. Should one of the priests on the mission fall ill, his place was supplied from the teaching staff of the Seminary. The constant change of teachers and headmasters made the parents dissatisfied with the school, and in some cases they removed their children to other newly established non-Catholic schools. The Archbishop was alarmed. To restore their confidence he wrote a pastoral letter to his flock and announced that Bishop Davis would take the Seminary under his immediate supervision. Three masters would assist him, Messrs. Sconce. B.A., Makinson, B.A., and Clarke. The first two were recent converts to the Church.

o f the Vicar General, Dr. Murphy, who was shortly to be made the first Bishop of Adelaide. Dr. Polding reported to Propaganda that the people of Australia were eager beyond measure to give a sound education to their children.
Bishop Polding opposed the r ecommendation. He believed that the Government should assist. but not control education. Unfortunately he had no adequate organisation, competent to control and his systematise schools. His parish organisation was neither adequate nor competent: it was overwhelmed with pioneering missionary duStanley's system worked ties. the well in Ireland because schools were established in centres that were either strongly Catholic or strongly Protestant; they were not mixed; they could be supervised by a numerous and a well trained body of clergy. In the forties and much later, a priest in Australia might spend t wo months on horseback going the rounds of his parish. What are now dioceses were parishes, and a priest had to be as much a bush man as a cleric. The Catholic Church opposed the National System because it did not provide Catholic schools for Catholic children. The position of the Churches was strong and they were able to postpone new educational legislation until their demands were met. This came as a compromise in 1848 on the motion of Hon. J. H. Plunkett, that the schools be divided into two sections. The existing Church schools would be placed under a Denominational Board; the others that wished to follow Lord Stanley's plan would be placed under a National Board. The schools were placed under one of two controlling bodies, each of which drew its funds and its authority from the same government. Early Costs. The costs are interesting to recall. In 1844, there were 2,721 children in Catholic schools, and they cost the Government 9/8i per head, per annum; each of the 2.984 Church of England children cost II Os 31; 1,311 Presbyterians 15/11, and the 559 WesWhen leyans cost 12/84- each. grant official the that recall we depended upon the school fees paid, we can see how the poverty of the Catholic people handicapped their schools.
His stay at some • of the famous monasteries of his Order in Europe fired his ambition to erect a noble Benedictine Abbey in Sydney. His monastic brethren at Downside in England were planning a large addition to their abbey and its schools; it was his desire to rival his Mother House.

Early Benedictine Schools. During those years of effort, the Benedictines were developing their monastery and monastic school of St. Mary's SeminThis was essentially a ary. B enedictine school in the centre of a Benedictine mission. Since the Bishop was aiming to make t he whole of the country a sphere o f Benedictine influence, St. Mary's Seminary occupied an important place in the plan. When he left for Europe. in 1840, it contained six ecclesiastical students, t wenty boarders, and twenty day scholars, tinder the management
The policy of Bishop Davis was simple; an educational order must have highly educated members; there must be some permanence about the teaching staff. He employed capable secular masters as permanent teachers, in preference to his own ordained members who might be called upon at a moment's notice to give up teaching for the priestly work of the mission. It was he who put the educational work of the Benedictines on a sound basis. He first educated his men. He relieved the postulants from choir duties to devote their time to school work. study and r ecreation. He saw that success in education came from carefully trained masters; he realised early BISHOP DAVIS, O.S.B. that training for the priesthood did not necessarily train a schoolmaster: that the system, one day Father Garroni. 0.S.B, He drew priest, one day schoolmaster, plans to incorporate the existing could not work successfully.

Hibernian Australasian Catholic Benefit Society Annual General Communion and Breakfast
The Annual General Communion of members of the Hibernian Australasian Catholic Benefit Society was held at St. Mary's Cathedral on Sunday last, the 25th. instant, at special Mass offered at S o'clock. Murray-street in front of the Cathedral Hall was a very busy plaLe for half an hour as motor buses and cars arrived from practically every parish between Fremantle and Midland Junction and from as far distant as Armadale. Over 600 members, in regalia, marching in procession from the hall to the Cathedral was an inspiring spectacle. Very Rev. Father W. Kelly, Administrator of the Cathedral, celebrated Holy Mass. The large concourse of staunch Catholic men and women, members of this great Catholic society, receiving Holy Communion in a body in honour of the feast of the Kingship of Christ was a sight that must have made the members feel indeed proud of their society. That this great demonstration will have beneficial effects on not only the society but also on the members there can be no doubt. At the conclusion of Holy Mass the Communion Breakfast - was partaken of at the Stirling Institute, where over 280 members gathered under the presidency of the newly-elected Grand President, Sister P. Williamson. The society had as honoured guests the Very Rev. Father Kelly, Adm., who represented Hi,: Grace the Archbishop; the Chaplain General of the Society, Very Rev Father J Dunne; Mr. K. Spruhan. Editor of "The Record:" and the following representatives of Catholic and kindred organisations: Irish National Forester‹, Mr. T. Holmes: Society of St. Vincent de Paul, Mr. M. Coughlin: Newman Society, Mr. K. Byrne: W.A. Catholic Lawn Tennis AssociatieM, Mr. Jas. Tu11Y: Catholic Youth Employment League, Mr. D. A. McGillivray: Catlinlie Youtig Ladies' Club, Miss C. Sorners• C.B.C. Old Boys' Association, Mr. P. Giles: Celtic Club. NIT.. P. O'Dea: and Bro. Con Spellman. a visiting I" nembes f the Richmond Branch, Victoria. After the breakfast had been partaken the Grand President extended a cordial welcome to Father Dunne and Father Kelly, and expressed the keen regret of members that His Grace the Archbishop could not be present. Unfortunately the laying of the foundation !:tone of the extensions to the Nedlands Church coincided with this function. His Grace had opened our confer-en, lot us on Friday evening last, and said that he would he with us here this morning in spirit. Sh also welcomed the members of the National Directory. l3ro. T. J. Hynes, National President.; W. A. Brown, National Secretary: and J. W. Whitely, National Treasurer. The president also extended a special welcome to the

spoke on that occasion, for he not only paid a great tribute to our late National President, but he paid a tribute to our society as well. It was also at that period that our late member, Right. Rev. Monsignor Verling, rose from his sick bed in hospital in order to celebrate the Requiem Mass and attend Bro. O'Mahony's funeral. He immediately returned to hospital never to come out alive. These things impress themselves indelibly on one's memory. Now, sisters and brothers, if the Archbishop and the priests are taking so much interest in our society, are we responding adequately and are we worthy of it? I hope we are. I am sure the manifestation at the Cathedral this morning constitutes a good answer to that' question. I would like to pay a tribute to our Chaplain General, Father Dunne. I can assure you, sisters and brothers, t hat since we have been blessed with the services of Father Dunne as our Chaplain General he has been most helpful to both National Directory and District Board. I would take this opportunity of expressing to the good Brothers and Nuns the society's appreciation of their wonderful work in the cause of Catholic education. Their work constitutes the foundation on which the Catholic Church in this country is built. In conclusion, I would ask our Chaplain General to convey to His Grace the Archbishop an expression of the members' love, loyalty and obedience.
Bro. John Finnegan, P.G.P., in proposing the toast of -The Archbishop and Clergy," said: In asking you to honour the toast of the Archbishop and Clergy, I am asking you to honour a toast that always takes pride of place on the toast list of any Hibernian gathering and the reason for that is quite obvious. It is because our members desire to pay that tribute to those for whom we have an intense feeling of love, honour and reverence. Right down through the years since the Catholic Church was established in Australia the people of this country have always been blessed with the splendid Archbishops, bishops and priests who have devoted their lives to ,the service of Almighty God and h is Holy Church in this Southern land. Any person who cares to read the history of the Catholic Church in W.A. will never regret the time spent in reading it. I am sure their admiration will be excited by the splendid foresight, the admirable courage, and the spirit of self-sacrifice that has been shown by the clergy right throughout the history of this country, and might I say that that spirit, those splendid qualities, are as evident to-day just as much as they were in days gone by. We have here in the Archdiocese looking after our spiritual interests His The toast was honoured with the utGrace Dr. Prendiville, reputed to be most enthusiasm. At this stage the youngest Archbishop in the world, Father Kelly arrived and was cordially and to our way of thinking one of the greeted. best and strongest defenders of the Very Rev.

Late every member sincerely. These annual Communions, although most oeneneial to the society, are not sufficient compliance with the religious obligations of members to the society, because, while they are splendid and impressive, they do not carry into force the rules laid down in that regard. The quarterly Communions are most important, and it is the duty ot branch executive officers to see and insist on the attendance of members at the quarterly Communions in their districts. There is only one thing wifl hold us together as a Catholic society, and that is the spiritual element that is found in the society as a body and found in the member as an individual. It is a grand thing that our society has held together without the slightest sign of dissolution for so many years, and it has to-day been found progressing, becoming rejuvenated and being used, and will be more used, as an ins. portant element in Catholic action in Australia. We have had the experience of societies commencing and flourishing for a time, organisations we have seen starting with great bursts of enthusiasm and then for some reason fading away. That story cannot be laid as a charge against the Hibernian Australasian Catholic Benefit Society. In every State in Australia in which the society has been formed, it has continued to exist and flourish and it has splendid traditions. You may have great executive officers, you may have a hard and fast constitution, but only one thing will hold us together, and that is our holy faith of which we are all so proud. Not only does it serve as a binding force and centre for a society as a whole, but it also brings about the personal sanctification of its members. Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, and the officers of the various branches in this District, I ask you to attend to the matter of the quarterly Communions. Now this morning, for .instance, you had a very impressive Holy Communion at the Cathedral; yet I could see members of the Hibernian Society at Communion in my own church. They were not able to come here, consequently- the quarterly Communions in the various districts are the thing. Now, brothers and sisters, reference has been made to the officers of the National Directory. They have been congratulated and warmly received, and on account of the fact That the society here has been honoured by the appointment _of three of its members as National officers, I think every one of us should look upon this District as the principal ,District of Australia for the time being. On account of the fact of the Directory . being here, we should look upon our. selves as the leading governing body in the society in Australasia. and also the District from which the best example should come. We must not sit down and congratulate ourselves on things that are accomplished and to applavu! it, but to work on and to aspire to greater things in the future. We have at the present time in the society a very healthy spirit; a splendid mingling of youth and maturity, The Younger you get them the better mem. bers they become. It ought to be the object of every wholehearted member•of this society not to aim at the impossible, but to aim at the possible and do it. It is the obligation of each member to increase the membership of the society by at least one memberSurely there is not a lady or gentleman here this morning who has not one Catholic friend that be or she would not suggest membership of this society to. The suggestion seems almost the suggestion of a sin,. pleton, but if it were accomplished the result would be obvious. On behalf of the Archbishop, from my heart I thank the individual mere hers, the branches, and the District Board for that wonderful spirit, that loyalty and respect that they have shown to the Archbishop and clergy here in the West. (Loud applause.)

Lourdes: Three Certified Miracles CAPITALISM The Medical Bureau of Lourdes has verified three remarkable The first was cures recently. that of M. Adolphe Mortreux, who on February 8, 1934, was inaccident volved in a railway which left him with a fractured These spine, pelvis, and leg. healed so imperfectly that when medically examined on September 20 of the same year, he was declared permanently incapacitated for'work. and was awarded 190,000 francs compensation in lieu of pension. He had to wear an iron support and could walk only with crutches. On coming to Lourdes with the Lille Diocesan Pilgrimage, after bathing in the grotto he was able to walk without his crutches, and on the next day his cure was ascertained to be complete, save for a slight limp. The other two cases were of severe internal trouble: Madathe Vitoux of Nancy had gone into hospital in February, and her state was such that normally it would have soon proved fatal. Maadame Isnardon was so ill that she could take no liquids. vomited constantly, and showed a tendency to collapse.

Marcel Rosenberg Ambassador's Activities in Spain. A t the end of August the Moscow "Politbureau,- as reported by "La Renaissance,- held a special meelping tt; decide upon the policy to be followed in Spain. Several important decisions were made, among them the appointment of a special Soviet ambassa(or in Nladrid. the issuing of orders to raise funds in all countries for the assistance of Spanish Reds, and another order to the 0.G.P.U. to dispatch twenty of its best agents to Madrid. The new ambassador is Marcel Rosenberg, one of the ablest of the Soviet agents abroad. His activities started in Danzig, then he spent a couple of years in China and later was sent to France. After the admission of Soviet Russia to the League of Nations he became assistant to the Secretary General of the League, and ever since has been the agent through whom the Soviet government acted within_the League of Nations. Rosenberg left for Madrid on August 28. accompanied by three experienced agents of the Komintern whom he had known personally in China and Paris—. A number of other Russian communists were also sent. The first act of Rosenberg in Madrid was to bring about a change of government. A conference, at which were present Jose Diaz, M. Valdez, La Passionaria, Marquis, Duclos. Ercoli, Ilya Ehrenburg, nnd a certain Ackermann, was convened by Rosenberg. This meeting chose Largo Cabareller° to head the new government: it was, however, decided that though the latter would carry out the Communist programme in its entirety, it was more expedient for him not to join the party officially. so that in case of failure the blame should not he attached to Communists.
The Church does not condemn Capitalism in the sense of private ownership and operation of the means of production, nor does it condemn production for profit. But it does not and cannot support or sanction the institution of Capitalism as it now operates, and as it has operated for the past century and a hall. Pope Pius XI. declares that both labour and capital should receive their due share of the profits, that neither should deny the efficacy of the other, nor seize all product. The measure of the "due share" of capital is found, says His Holiness, in the common good. This might justify a rate of six per cent., or it might require a rate of one per cent., or it might be satisfied by that extremely tenuous interest return which would be scarcely more than insurance against risk. The Church, of course. Insists that the person who receives the profit should deal justly with labour, with his competitors and with the Consumers.
The Church has constantly stressed the obligations which fall on the rich, the employers, and even the State kthrough its members) to protect and give justice to the poor, the workers and the helpless. If, as is only too obvious, these obligations are everywhere evaded, it is futile for those who suffer to blame the Church. It is surely because the Church imposes these obligations on the fortunate, that she requires of the others who suffer from present conditicols, patience and loyalty. The Pope condemns not only the indefinite pursuit of gain, unjust methods of seeking gain, and the had distribution which has resulted from this pursuit and these methods, but also the w hole underlying philosophy of Individualism and Economic Liberalism. In place of this the Holy Father recommends a system of occupational groups which would distribute industrial control and democratic industry. Those who take Capitalism tb mean simply private ownership, can apply the term, if they like, to the occupational group system, just as they may apply it to a system of producers or consumers' co-operatives. Those who think of Capitalism, comprising the unI. '1 -- characteristics which have distinguished it as a going concern, will repudiate the use of the term try characterise the occupational group system. Bank clerks are complaining that adding machines have lowered their prestige. They hardly count at all now.

Important Development in Tardun Scheme New Wing of Christian Brothers' Agricultural School Foundation Stone Laid by Hon. J. J. Kenneally
Sunday, October 18, marked a f urther important development of the Tardun Scheme by the laying of the foundation stone of the first wing of the Agricultural School which, when completed, will be capable of accommodating about 120 trainees.

St. Columba's, South Perth FOUNDATION STONE AND OPENING His Grace the Archbishop will lay the foundation stone of our new church on Sunday, December 13, immediately after the second Mass. Mr. T. Egan will be in charge of the procession. The parish sodalites will march from the church on to the hill. The Holy Angels, Children of Mary, Sacred Heart Sodality, Holy Name Society and St. Columba's branch of the H.A.C.B.S. will be expected to march in full strength. When the foundation stone ceremony is finished the procession will move back to the church for a Benediction o f Thanksgiving. On Low Sunday, April 4, 1937, the first Sunday after Easter, St. Columba's Church will be opened and dedicated to the service o f God under the patronage of St. Patrick, St. Brigid and St. Columba, bearing the name of the latter. We were hoping to have the opening within the octave of St. Patrick's Day, bnt Easter is early next year, and that Sunday would be Patin Sunday. The response to the appeal to honour the names of the deceased priests has been very consoling. Many still are among the unremembered. In the month of reflection, which is approaching, the month of the Holy Souls, perhaps, a name may come back to some asking for a niche in this church of gratitude and remembrance to the Irish Saints for the labour of their spiritual children in this Archdiocese. This week we had a busy time, playing bridge at the home of Mrs. W. Patterson, in Coode Street, on Wednesday, and what a happy party it was! On Thursday, we swayed to the old-time tunes at the Swan Street Hall under the shadow of the Shamrock flag. Again on Saturday back to the Swan Street Hall we flocked to enjoy a Hallo E'en party and dance at which the Rose stall made its debut, while Mrs. Motchman, Miss Hayden and Mr. B. Hannah made us welcome. For the coming week we are beginning early, as on Monday evening, November 2, Mrs. Hamilton will be standing in the shining granolitic porch of No. 3 Alexander Street to welcome us in, and that welcome alone is worth the money. On Thursday, the Hibernians are staging the No. 2 of the final farewell dances at the Swan Street, Hall. So if you hate saying good-bye, come along and get used to it by saying it every Thursday in November. On Saturday. the 7th, we are in the road, on the road to the hills following the leaders, Miss Marie Dominish in front, with Misses E. Strappe and L. Mahony close at our heels. ,The trail winds upwards to the Log Cabin where we shall halt and jig till the wee sma' hours. Last Sunday we had a snappy meeting —the snappier the meeting the better the work, or if you prefer the less speeches the more done. Well, on Sunday the meeting lasted five minutes, and we decided to invite all the friends of the Sisters of St. Joseph to the Swan Street, Hall on Wednesday, November 11, to play cards, from bridge to "beggar my neighbour," as a flat entrance fee of 2s , no matter whether you play bridge, or euchre, or patience. Mrs. V. M. Hunt was appointed president. Another equally snappy meeting next Sunday after the devotions. 'OA Wednesday, November 25, the Pagoda will be on fete for the "Witches' Revels," and if you cannot imagine what ...they are, then ring the Arch-Witch (Miss Kinane, South Perth), and she will satisfy you. This will be the grand finale to dances this season. A balmy air, a gentle zephyr, a waning moon, silver sands and the "Witches" waiting on the doorstep to make everyone happy at the Pagoda. Invitation cards are out, but you pay at the door. So I'll he seeing you! 1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111t1111111111111111111111111111111111

Christian Brothers' High School HIGHGATE HILL
Pupils' First Annual Concert AN ENTERTAINING EVENING His Majesty's Theatre was completely filled, and numbers were turned away, on Tuesday evening when the pupils of the Christian Brothers' High School, Highgate Hill, presented their first annual concert. The School has only been opened nine months and the standard of entertainment was of an exceptionally high order, despite a number of small unrehearsed incidents which added to rather than marred the evening's pleasure. His Grace the Archbishop presided and representatives of the clergy and of other C.B.C. establishments were present.
Stage-craft was another aspect of the varied and well-arranged programme. A scene from "The Merchant of Venice was well carried out by Masters P. Russell ( Shylock), W. Hall (Bassanio), and C. Nallen (Antonio). There was also an amusing sketch of a mix-up in radio transmission. By permission of J. C. Williamson, Ltd., a selection was given from "H.M.S. Pinafore'," in which the singing was very good. Special mention must be made of the costuming which was distinctive and effective and made largely for the success of the entertainment.
The outstanding feature of the evening was the choral work, under the baton of the Principal Rev. Brother Traynor. Considering the ages of the boys, the effect of the choir in the balance of part-singing, in enunciation and modulation, was distinctly good. In the first portion of the programme they were heard to advantage in "The Oars are Plashing- and -In Springtime," while in the latter half three numbers were given, each having a soloist. These three were the tour de force of the programme. "The Lord is my Shepherd," "The Kerry Dance,- and "Ah! Sweet Mystery of Life" were very warmly received, the solo work of Masters W. Nankiville and Gordon Bates being delightful. The versatility of the choir was further instanced in an effective musical monologue "Crossing the Bar." Selected voices were pleasing in a restrained rendition of Brahm's well-known "Lullaby" and Mozart's "Cradle Song." Among the solo items, Master Leonard Gardener brought the house down with an expressive humorous recitation, "Mr. Brown's Hair-cut." Master Gordon Bates gave a creditable rendition of "Lo! Hear the Gentle Lark," and was later heard to greater advantage in "The Last Rose of Summer." The universal favourite, Toselli's "Serenade," was played pleasingly by Master Lionel Elliott.
Other items included national dances by the juniors, a Gavotte by eight of the students and an opening address of welcome by Master Albert Knight. Mr. Partington's orchestra supplied the music and Madame H. Rosenthal and Miss Molly Wagner acted as accompanistes. Mr. Swift supplied violin accompaniment for the choir.
Squads of boys gave some vigorous entertainment on the parallel bars, the vaulting horse and in pyramids. This work was characterised by precision and alertness, which reflects great credit on their instructors, Rev. Brother McBride and Major A. G. Saunders. Other massed e ffects in wand drill, plumes, and figure marching were striking and well executed.
At the conclusion of the programme, Rev. Brother Traynor, accompanied His Grace the Archbishop on to the stage. Brother Traynor expressed, on behalf of the boys and Brothers, their warm appreciation of the Archbishop's presence. It was an encouragement to them in their work. He also thanked the parents and friends of the schools who, by their splendid attendance and enthusiastic reception o f the items, had helped to make the evening's function a pronounced success. His Grace expressed sincere congratulations on the evening's performance, and said it was all the more creditable when one considered that the Sacred Heart High School had not yet celebrated its first birthday. The items had been splendid and reflected great credit on the boys, the Brothers and the extern teachers. His Grace particularly thanked Bro. Traynor who had personally carried out the greater part of the organisation. He recalled that when in Clifton Hill, Melbourne, some years ago, he had heard a beautiful concert arranged by Bro. Traynor. He had expected great things when Bro. Traynor came to the West and had not been disappointed. His Grace thanked the audience on behalf of the school for their attendance and concluded by asking for a holiday on Wednesday for the boys, a suggestion which they seemed to relish.
Castledare Junior Orphanage Annual Re-union, Nover.ber 15th An event of much Interest and importance will be the annual re-union of friends and benefactors at Castledare Junior Orphanage, Queen's Park, on Sunday, November 13. Opened nearly eight years ago ror boys of subnormal mentality, the Home has since been reorganised, 'as the result of the action of the Government in closing t he State Psychological Clinic. It now f unctions as a Junior Orphanage, and .here the little orphan boys receive an education, care and . training specially When suited to their tender years. sufficiently advanced in the school curriculum. a group is each year transferred to the larger orphanage at Clontarf. where the boys continue their general e ducation and training for future life. The .problem of financial support for the Junior Orphanage is becoming a matter of much concern to the Christian Brothers in charge, as, in addition to the cost of yearly maintenance, they have t, meet the interest on heavy debt- Due also to the youth of their !- ages their average age is -only 8 cars) nothing can be expected from the children in the way of contributing to their own support, and it has been found necessary to employ more labour than would otherwise be re(mired. It is hoped, therefore, that the appeal to be made at the re-union on Sunday. November 15, will result in placing the Home in a better financial position than that which at present faces it. Those who cannot, come on that day may send their subscriptions Isv their friends or send them direct to the Brother Superior at Castledare. Patrons who make the beautiful grounds of the Orphanage their rendezvous on the day of the re-union are assured of a most enjoyable outing.
The ladies' committee is leaving nothing undone to cater for the pleasure and enjoyment of the visitors by way of refreshments. The Clontart Band will render musical selections during the 'afternoon, and a sports programme will be organised. Regarding Transport.

The Fifth 01 November
The repulsive tradition of verpetuating Guy Fawkes' day is dying hard. One may yet see about the streets an occasional "guy" attended by an unkempt child who might be better occupied in the parental home learning something of real history instead of unconsciously propagating old fashioned lies in the street. Catholics are not concerned with the mere political plot as such, which was a stupid and criminal - act. But the historical effort made by Cecil to incriminate the Church, and especially the Jesuits, in the person of Father Garnett. S.J., has been incorporated in the general Protestant tradition, still unhappily extant, that Catholicism is incompatible with true citizenship. That spirit is preserved in the commemoration of Guy Fawkes' day. The ugly practice of ornamenting "guys" with rosary beads, though much less frequent, is still carried on. There are, however, certain aspects of the Gunpowder Plot which non-Catholics should study, which extenuate, if they do not excuse, the historical case. Firstly, the conspirators were not of the criminal class, and were not motivated by personal ambition. They were men of noble birth, of means and honour, some were married and had families, several were converts who had embraced Catholicism at considerable sacrifice. Guy Fawkes himself, though of humbler birth than the other conspirators, was a brave and simple soldier, who was used as a catspaw in the dangerous game. Secondly, the large Catholic body in England had been bitterly disappointed over James' infidelity to his promises of toleration. They were constantly irritated by a code of infamous anti-Catholic laws framed and enforced by a hard and. relentless Puritan government, and goaded by a series of galling and impossible tines. There is a breaking point in a long sustained persecution. Again, there was no question of a plot discovered in the nick of time. The Government had known the details of it a long time previously. It W a `; not so much a plot against the Government as an official trap for the conspirators. The worst feature of the whole business, however, was the attempted incrimination of the clergy and the Jesuits in particular. This latter matter is of topical interest in the light of an appallingly inaccurate note on the .Jesuits in the evening press during the week. How Father Garnett, S.J., confessor to the conspirators, was imprisoned in the Tower and finally executed is well known. What is not so well known is that part of the conspirators' oath expressly forbade their telling even confessors of their designs. It is not generally mentioned in the popular and official history text-books how Garnett was tricked and spied upon during his imprisonment, despite the evidence of his communications with Rome that he had used every endeavour to discountenance violence. Despite a long imprisonment and the subtle frauds practiced upon him, the simplicity and honesty of his story were not shaken in the trial. Garnett died an innocent man. But the official conspiracy, to find him guilty. has succeeded in no small measure in prejudicing the non-Catholic public against the Church.

an
article from "The News Review." London, entitled "Placed on the
Index." • The general purpose of the article seemed. to be to discredit the Catholic practice of censorship by pointing out that the Index included a 'number of distinguished authors. It succeeded, however, in making itself somewhat ridiculous by naive references, such as that of the Holy Father's glancing at the "Terra Nouvelle" through gold-rimmed spectacles and deciding forthwith to place the periodical on the Index. In this matter it is well to make it clear that the Church endorses the principle of censorship, though not necessarily the methods of its exercise in given places. Admittedly the Australian Government has made some silly mistakes in this regard. Its methods are infinitely behind the times in comparison with, say, the Sacred Congregation of the Holy But neither maladministration nor the fact that popular Office. authors write pornography, argues one whit in favour of intellec- • tual libertinism. Towards the end of the article under discussion, there are some woeful errors, which indicate that some domestic censorship over loose facts would brighten up "The News Review." It is stated that Catholics who read a banned book are excommunicatThis is arrant noned and automatically branded as heretics. sense.

An expedition to hitherto unvisited tribes in the Central Mountains of New Guinea has left Sydney for Madang. Led by Father Francis Kirschbaum, S.V.D., it has been undertaken under the auspices of Harvard University. Father Kirschbaum spent over 25 years as a missionary in New Guinea, where he discovered and visited a race of dwarfs, and found definite evidences of ancient civilising influences, specimens of which are now in the Vatican Mission Museum. He will be accompanied by Father Hoeltken, S.V.D., an expert on the Inca and Aztec civilisations. The expedition has been financed by an American millionaire, who will accompany it; they will travel to an inland base by aeroplane.

Goldfields Section BOULDER
on Sunday, October 25, there was an e xceedingly large congregation at early On that day was celebrated Mass. the Feast of Christ the King, which partly explains the large congregation, parishioners being anxious to receive Holy Communion on the great occasion. But there was another reason. T wenty-three boys and girls, who had been specially prepared by the Sisters, received their first Holy Communion. Even to those whose families had long since grown up, the sight must have been very inspiring and pleasing. Rev. Dr. Goody addressed the children, impressing on them what a great event this was in their lives, and expressed the wish that they would always remember this day and moment. He remarked how well the children had been prepared and hoped they would be equally well prepared on all future occasions. After Mass the children were entertained at a little reception in the school room by the Sisters. Sunday evening last, being the fourth Sunday of the month, evening devotions in All Hallows consisted of the Holy Hour Adoration. The congregation was again a large one, as par- ishioners seem to appteciate the 'spirit of this splendid devotion. By way of preparation for the periods of silent adoration, Rev. Dr. Goody gave a few short suggestions to the congregation. As it was the Feast of Christ the King, he suggested first and foremost that the parishioners should think on the significance of this feast day and outlined those significances clearly and briefly. The choir assisted very much, the congregation standing during the singing of various hymns, including the age-old "Te Deum- or "Hymn of Thanks." Sunday, November 1, being the Feast of All Saints, or All Hallows, 10 o'clock Mass will be a "Missa Cantata." The members of the Holy Name Society and Sacred Heart Societies have been specially asked to at. tend this Mass, and to take up their correct positions in the church. In this way they will be showing their appreciation of the feast day—All Hal. lows —which has no mean significance for our own parish. St. Vincent de Paul Society. The St. Vincent de Paul Society met as usual after devotions on Sunday evening last. As several members are away on holidays, other members ,who can, are requested to make a special effort to attend, as there is always a g,wi deal of business to be discussed. Cricket. The second match for the season of the Friendly Societies' Cricket Association was commenced on Sunday last between Boulder Hibernians and Boulder Druids. The scores at the end of the day were: Druids, 111; Hibernians, 7 for 76. Best bowlers for Hibernians were Joe Scullin and Harry Thornton; the best batsmen Peter Bizacca and Frank Bizacca. being Next Sunday promises a keen game and a close finish.

My Cornerites, Ha vent I been good to leave you in peace all these weeks, but having had a hazy remembrance that I promised not to again appeal to you I was afraid of writing a letter in case that I would revert to our financial position? I feel the near approach of the end of this year excuses me for reverting to it now. It was my intention to tell you all that if we include the Good Friday Collection and my expenditure we only want another .t.250 to make the £1,000, but on my way to putting that intention on paper, or as a journalist should say, before my copy went to press, I was apprehensively approached by one —"Gingertop"---who a,skecl me would I accept a penny and a ha'penny towards the Objective.

Our Early Summer Raffle Eighteen more books of tickets on the beautiful statue of St. Philomena are still available, and as the time is drawing near for their inclusion or exclusion from the Drawing, those wishing to be lucky should now apply. Tickets, at 3d. each, may be obtained on application to Aunt Bessy. The raffle will be drawn on November 19, feast of St. Elizabeth of Hungary, and all butts must be returned to Aunt Bessy, "Record" Office, by November 16. Results of drawing in "Record" of November 28.
" Who am I to refuse lids' said I, ''seeing that I'm out to gather in a Thousand?" so with the acceptance of Gingertop's mite, I am in the happy position of announcing that if we get in a further 1249 19s lOid by Decembek 31, the 1936 Objective will be achieved. Therefore, if any among you have been hanging back with your monetary offerings, come along now and help to make that £249 19s lOid. Neither the Lord or yourselves have ever let me down yet on any Objective I set up, and if I am foolhardy -enough to be gloriously optimistic about gathering in an odd Two Hundred Pounds in nine weeks, who can We will see what we will blame me? see. I notice on a couple of envelopes that came to me during the week the Government's latest slogan, "Encourage Your Defence Forces." It has given me food for thought, as well as an additional zest for this building up of our Bushies' Scheme for, giving a spiritual turn to those words, does it not behove us to encourage our defence forces by solidifying the rampart: that guard our Holy Faith first in our own souls and then in the souls of those who will be the men and women of to-morrow? It is horrible to think of the cruel and satanic part that is being played now by the Youth of Spain who have allied themselves to the enemies of Catholicity. Whether they be the children of lapsed and bad Catholics, or af parents who have had no religion, they have evidently been taught very e arly in life to hate and band themselves against God and all creatures w hose lives are in any way linked to His service. Surely then we who be. lieve in God and love Him will De moved to do our best to train every Catholic child in those Truths that are the daily breath of our souls, for the Catholic children of to-day will have to he the Defence Forces of the Church wh-n its hour of persecution strikes here in our own land. Through the Bushies' Scheme we are reaching to a great many little souls and we can feel that some at least among them will have the stuff that martyrs are made of in them if the testing time should come during their lives. Even if there were no God, no Hereafter, surely it is more worth while to live within the pure and holy arms of that Faith that urges us to live worthy of the Hope that is in us, rather than to go through this world not only like the soulless heaasts, but like the devils of hell Wflose onle aim is to corrupt and destroy and kill. We are beginning the month of November, and those of us who suffered the loss of loved ones during the Great War will remember that November 11 the Feast of St. Martin of Tours, is the of declaration anniversary of the Peace. Let us not be unmindful of th^ victims of the civil war that is now r aging in Spain. So many homes and so many families are now been wiped out, and we shoull pray that a lasting peace mar soon come to that unhappy c ountry, and that a purer and holier generation will build up the Faith t here again. You have been wonderfully helpful during all this year to my various ways ,,f trying to raise the -Objective, I will rely on you during the next nine weeks to even do a little more, if not by monetary offerings, then by prayer, for I have a firm hope that prayer will get us "there."

Wallflowers Still with an ability to blush and dying for an opportunity of making their own individual impression on Society, a few hundred of our charming Pink Wallflowers remain on the shelf amid the wilting atmosphere of dust and machine oil. Someone among our sympathisers may be moved to apply for even one among the few hundreds when it is remembered that one Wallflower in the hand of a charitably disposed chaperon is worth a whole bunch of them inside the office. A nom de guerre may be used for letters to the Corner, but all applicants for cards must furnish full name and address and will he expected to get the cards filled and returned with financial accompaniment as soon as possible.
Acknowledgments Aunt Bessy wishes to thank "Our Friend," for being the one principally responsible for "The Fiver" sent to honour The Infant Jesus of Prague. It was thrilling to receive a telephone message from Dol Courte, via Lady Anderson's room, re this big improvement to the Litany, and though the chill that poor Dol Corte is suffering from requires several hot water bottles, A.B hopes that the warmth of her grati• tude has improved the patient more peedily than the bottles. Thanks are the also due to Mr. J. Rebbechi, of Marble Bar, for his donation of 5/1 to the Lemonade Bottle, to an anonymous donor of 10/-, sent "In reparation to and in honour of "The Sacred Heart,- and to "A Wembleyite" and Blue Eves for return of raffle butts and cash. 1 11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 11111111111
Congratulations To our ex-Queen, on the brilliant pass in her elocution examination. Rumour has it .that her success has caused the Yellow Flag to fly a bit in other royal circles, but Aunt Bessy doesn't believe in rumours, and is sure that a great and equally brilliant suecess will crown another little royal head before the year is out, so Uncle Luke better not tease people too much.
Grand Fiver Campaign of the Blessed in Heaven IT RELIES FOR SUCCESS ON THE FAITHFUL ON EARTH, Who will give now, or guarantee the payment of "A Fiver" to this fund during any month of this year, and, thus help us to gain the £1,000 Objective for 1936? Kindly Note: Aunt Bessy will he honoured to add to this list of Holy Ones any particular saint who has not been included and to whom a donor maw feel special devotion. s. d.

There was also a very tiny lady who sang for us. We paid 6d to see each one. Did the you know that S.H.H.S. won sports, and one of the girls in my class is the champion athlete. I read in a joke to-day that love makes the world go round, so please give my love to Tiddles and Wet Blanket, and have some for yourself. "BLUE EYES." Dear Blue Eyes,—I don't know about love making the world go round, but money makes the Shows go round, and I'm thinking of asking the Wet -Blanket and Mary Snoggins if they will take up their positions in the next Royal Show, for if everyone paid 6d. to hear the Wet Blanket sing, and to see Mary Snogginses appendix, it would be a great help to the funds. Thank you for our equal share in your affection, and for the beautiful 10s. I will be relieved when I do send the statue to the winner, because I have to dust it and guard it from being broken or stolen, and it's rather a reAUNT BESSY. sponsibility. • .4,00- .0411-411111•-••••••41.-410.- 11140-4N11•-•40-ipa•-e.

READING FOR THE HOME
DIES IRAE.
(This, the Sequence in Requiem Masses, was composed by a Franciscan in the thirteenth century. It is the acknowledged masterpiece of Latin poetry, whilst of its translations there are several hundred English renderings alone. Crashaw, Dryden, Scott, Macaulay —each has his translation. Below is a fragment from the Roman Missal.) The day of wrath, that dreadful day, Sh all the world in ashes lay, A s David and the Sibyl say. What terror shall the soul affright, When comes that judge whose searching light Brings thought and word and deed to light.
The Appeal of Christ From the Gospel Pages him again at Bethsaida, ni the boat of
Cana, though more hospitable than Nazareth, was not to be the centre from which Jesus would extend His labours throughout Galilee; this glory was reserved to Capharnaum; and Saint Matthew, studious as ever to trace throughout the life of the Saviour the fulfilment of the Prophecies, quotes here the famous oracle: "Land of Zabulon and Nepthau ! Border-land of the sea! Country beyond the Jordan! Galilee of
the nations! The people that. abode in darkness have seen a great Light. • The Light has arisen upon those who were seated in the region of the shadow of death." Jesus Adopts Capharnaum. It was the arena of the Ministry of Jesus which Isaias had here before his eyes; the Sea of Tiberias, lying along the confines of Zabulon and Nephtali; the western shore, where the
What shall my guilty conscience plead, And who for me will intercede, When even saints forgiveness need? King of tremendous majesty! Who savest, whom thou savest, free— Thou fount of pity, save thou me. 'Twas me thy wearyt footsteps sought My ransom on thy cross was bought Let not such labour come to naught, As thou didst Mary's sin efface, And take the thief to thine embrace, So dost thou give me hope of grace. Ah, gentle Jesu, Saviour blest, Grant to them all eteinal rest! Amen.

his father Zebedee. The Calling of the First Disciples It was Jesus' first care to go to this village, that He mi4ht gather together the Princes of His Church. He was v.alking along the strand when he saw some fishermen busy casting their nets from out their boat; they were the two brothers Simon and Andrew. Jesus spoke to them: "Come with Me, and I will make you to become fishers of men." A t once dropping every thing, they followed Him. Having advanced a little farther, He saw t wo other brothers, Janie and John; these also were in a boat, with their father Zebedee. Some accident had caused a breakage in their nets, and they wery busy mending them. The Lord would not wait for the work to be finished; He called them, and upon the instant they followed Hirn, leaving behind them their father Zebedee, with his hirelin in the fishing-smack. It was not that the Christ chose these humble fishermen at r andom, hut it was becau-:e the Divine Handiwork must needs be supreme in the work of our Redemption; and there:'. . • it was needful that the ministL'z-s of Jesus, though unfitted by nature for such great designs. nevertheless be so devoid of selfconfidence, so free from sc11-love, as to let themselves be goidcd by grace. The first disciples were men such as this Mission required—simple, upright of heart. and of generous inclinations. A: the call of Jesus. they followed Him without hesitation and without casting a glance backwards: all that they left behind wa• !ittle enough doubtless--a fishing-craft and a few nets; but that little was their all. and in sacrificing it they showed what docile intruments Jesus was to find in them. Their Qualification. Furthermore their trade could not fail to have developed in them such qualities as are most suitable to the Apostolic Ministry, above all the religious spirit, natural to those who live by the sea: the life of these men. always exposed to perils, their powerlessness to contend with the great tempests, with that Breath from on High which stirs up storms and calms them again in an instant—all these things combine to keep before their mind the feeling that they are in the hands of God: at' the some time, because they arc thus inured to danger. their courage is of the hardiest. and self-denial and devotedness become as habitual to them as sturdy prudence. These simple virtues were sufficient for the Master; surely they were as nothing in comparison with the sublime Work which He had in mind: but thus to construct an Edifice upon nothing is manifestly a work of Creation; it is to perform an Act of God. This indeed is why the Saviour, instead of calling to Himself the wise and great ones or Israel, chose rather for the foundationstones of His Church four fishermen of Bethsaida—Peter and Andrew.

Welcome to the Countess de Hemptmne
Early M the morning of October 27, the Orontes steamed into Fremantle Harbour, in most glorious Australian weather, bearing to our shores an honoured guest, who but a f•z.v short weeks ago had been receis ed at the Vatican by His Holiness Pope Pius XI., namely, the Comtesse de Hemptinne, International President of the Junior Women's Catholic Action. Brilliant sunshine, threw up the beauties of the drive along river and coast, and the clear atmosphere caused the long isle of Rottnest to stand out with almost miragelike intensity when Very Rev. Father Kelly and members of the executive of the C.W.L. arrived to welcome the guest and present her, on behalf of the League, with a friendly bouquet of welcome. Then followed an official visit to His Grace Dr. Prendiville, another to Loreto Convent, Osborne, there to meet the Mother Provincial, also on a visit to this State, and to be heartily acclaimed by the excited and joyous pupils. Finally, the Countess was taken to the King Edward Hotel, where many Catholic ladies had already assembled and were able to meet and converse with her in tne lounge. About 12.45 His Grace arrived, and after another chat with la Comtesse, he presided over a dainty, well-served lunch in the large flower-bedecked and pleasant dining-room. Dr. Prendivine, having said a few words of introduction, the guest of honour then gave a brief address, apologising for her "broken English," which, however, proved very complete, and promising to make a longer stay on her return from the Education Conference in Ade. iaide, when she would give, with His Grace's kind permission and co-operation, several lectimes and lantern-slide demonstrations of her work and travels. She thanked the Women's League for their kindly reception. Since her arrival she had seen a good deal of their city. She had found it (_:OUNTESS DE HEMPTINNE. very beautiful with sunshine and flowers, and the enthusiasm of its people, and would like to be He personally appointed the Preable to remain to know them sident every tour years.

A MEMORABLE EVENT
Luncheon by Catholic Women's League agriculture, and intellectual and civic matters. On the question of protection of women and children, the League co-operated with certain commissions of the League of Nations. It was not until 1930 that the Catholic Women's League was permitted to appear on these commissions in an official Catholic capacity.
