Do you know that I had to pinch like anything to send my son to college!" "Fancy that!" said Mrs. Holt. "And you never got caught?" "Here, what's this?" asked the diner in a country•hotel, looking suspiciously at a glass of unpleasant-looking liquid. 'I asked for Vichy water." "It's the water the 'addocks was boiled in, sir," said the waiter. "It's the only fishy water we've got."

dalous conduct, cited before an Ecclesiastical Court, found guilty, and ex. pelled from the Catholic Church. The second reason, that he could no longer accept the infallibility of.the Pope is not surprising. The only thing to be noted is that he gave no hint that he could not accept the infallibility of the Pope until after the Pope refused to accept him as a Bishop in the Catholic Church.
A Cable Gives the Truth It is not often that a Catholic Bishop loses his faith in the Catholic Church Correct. But if Bishop Jules Garrett has lost his faith, he lost much else before he came to such a stage. Refutations of this kind are not very pleasant. But if a man is held up as a living argument Protestant by papers that Rome is wrong, it is necessary to examine the value of that living argument. Listen to the calm, measured, and justified language of this cable from Rome, which 'I received when I first had to deal with this case. Here it is, word for word: "The reason, and the sole reason, for the deposing by the Holy See of Jules Garrett. as Bishop of Cochabamba, Bolivia, in December, 1929, was the proving by judicial and exact procedure of offences both against the Commandments of God and the Laws of the Church. To safeguard charity the decree of deposi. than. with its reasons, was not made public at the time; but the Bishopric was merely declared vacant- However. since Protestant periodicals have published statements that Jules Garrett came to Rome, and became convinced that the Catholic Church was in error, whereupon he went over to the American episcopal Church, the Holy See has caused the decree_ of his deposition to be published in Bolivia and to the world. Henceforth only ignorance or had faith can repeat the assertion that Jules Garrett left the Catholic Church of his own accord, or that he was a faithful Bishop in that Church." Now that should clear up all your misgivings about Bishop Jules Garrett, and the force of the Anglican "Standard's" appeal to the example of this "Roman convert" to Anglicanism. The Mass Offered to God In justifying the use of Latin at Mass, you recently said that the Mass is not addressed to the people. But does not the priest turn to the people and say. "May your sacrifice and mine be acceptable to God."
He did. He wished Catholics to realise that, not only the Priest, but all present, were true offerers of the sacrifice. He therefore urged Catholics to enter into the spirit of the Liturgy, to follow the actual prayers of the Mass in their missals or prayer. books, and to offer themselves to God in union with Christ, their Divine Victim and Saviour. But this does not mean that the Mass is addressed to the people. It is offered to God for them, whilst they are asked to join with the Priest in its offering. Protestants and Fridays You said that Protestants have no law forbidding them to eat meat on Fridays. I did. And that is true as a general statement. The vast majority of Protestants are not conscious of any obligation to abstain from meat on Fridays. In the Anglican Book of Common Prayer it states that meat is forbid. den on Fridays. I myself have pointed that out to Anglicans who were not aware of it, and who have criticised the Catholic Church for making such a lawBut you must note that this prescription in the Anglican Prayer Book does not affect Protestants in general, for not all are Anglicans. Moreover, more Anglicans do not know their own Prayer Book forbids meat on Fridays than there are Anglicans who do know it. Again, even amongst those who do know of it, the rule is more honoured in the breach than in the observance. And I think there are very few Anglicans indeed who would regard Friday abstinence as more than an optional observance recommended as a suitable form of piety. We are certainly justified in the general statement that Protestants have no law forbidding them to eat meat OR Fridays Story of the Orange Lodge Interested Listener, Texas, Qld. : A branch of the Loyal Orange Lodge has recently been established in our district. I cannot congratulate y,nir , ! 1,trict. Their speeches at the 12th. of July celebrations have given me rather a bad impression of them. There is no need to take them so seriously as all that, at least in this country.
Orangemen gut the idea that their chief duty towards the supporting of Protestantism in England was the persecution of Catholics in Ireland. Not love of Protestantism, but hatred of Catholics seem to have been the one Orange thing that could keep the Although founded durLodge alive. ing the reign of William of Orange, it really came into prominence during the reign of George III. In 1793 the Irish Parliament was composed entirely of Protestants, and was not in the least representative of the Irish people. The Irish demanded emancipation from their disabilities, and a reformation of the corrupt means of government in their country. This demand came from both Protestants and Catholics, but the Orangemen became f urious and said "never"! Bigotry swelled their ranks, and their history has been one of vilification of Catholics, and persecution of them when possible, ever since. Their July celebrations are based upon past successes in their policy of oppression of Irish Catholics. Recent Activities How have their activities been directed, particularly in recent years? Their activities in recent years are just the same as in former periods. The thing that binds them together is bigotry and hatred of Catholics, The cnly place where they have any real power is in Ulster. And we all know how the National Council for Civil Liberties described the Orange administration there. Last May this Council reported that "the present rule in Northern Ireland cannot be described otherwise than as totally un•Britisri. There is not representative government. The rule of law and the liberty of the subject are abzrogated. Catholics are oppressed. There are personal ties between the Executive( and the Orange Lodge. Frankly sectarian speeches are made even by Ministers, and Orangemen are given access to firearms • and ammunition. The Government does not conduct public affairs in the interests of the community as a whole, hut in those of a 'narrow circle of supporters: and it uses its position to aggravate and perpetuate sectarian disorder." All those are the words of the National Council for Civil Liberties. It is significant that, only in August last, a procession of Orangemen in Belfast carried a banner with the inscription, 'The Road to Hell is paved with Popery" The Salvation Army would at least have carried a banner inviting people to love and serve Christ. But. as I have said, the Loyal Orange Lodge believes much more in the hatred of Catholicism than in the love of Christ.
How did the Orange Lodge originate? It originated in the days of William He does. But that does not alter of Orange, who arrived in England in the fact that the Mass as a sacrificial 1688 to take over the throne from action is addressed to God, as opposed James II.

"He is in gaol. Let him stop in gaol," was their theme. It would have been better had they done something to secure justice for the Lutherian minister who had also suffered from the judge whose blood was boiling whilst he enrletvoured to fulfil his official duties. But to have a Catholic priest in gaol was muct better than to get a Protestant minister out--in the e ves of Orangemen. Nor mest you be deceived by the title, "Loyal Orange Lodge," Orangemen are not by any means "loyal." After the Report of the National Council for Civil Liberties on Northern Ireland, the Orange politicians there practically defied the British Government to snterfere, and threatened to resist any laws made to restrict their powers.

* Eternity in Limbo
Interested Enquirer. Tully, Qld. : The Church teaches that hell and heaven are eternal. C orrect What will be the lot of the souls of unbantised infants who are detained in Limbo?
P ATRONISE OUR ADVERTISERS
Saturday, November 7, 1936. There will be an eternal provision for their natural happiness in their present state. Having died to this world without any guilt of personal mortal sin, there can be no question of hell for them. And their -lack of baptism, and consequently of sanctifying grace, f orbids their entrance into heaven. God will, therefore, make other fitting provision for them in Limbo; or, in other words, in an intermediate state, where they will be happy according to their capacity; and that forever, in keeping with the immortality of their souls. Images on the Brain! "Listener," Auburn: Please point out where the Bible tells us to pray before images. Exod. XXV., 18, tells us that uod o oninanded the making. of the images ,1 angels to be placed over the propitiatciry before which the people would offer their 'prayers. Besides these images of things in the heavens above, God ordered the making of a brazen serpent, something from the earth beneath, also to be used for religious purposes. Num. XXI., 9. Exod. XX., 4-5, says, -Thou shalt not make any images, etc." It is a pity you did not amplify the e tc. God forbids us to make images in order to adore them idolatrously. But He does not forbid the making of images. That is evident from the fact that He ordered them to be made, as I have just shown
Praying For the Pope's Intentions Where does the Bible tell us to pray for the intentions of the Pope? St. James V . 16, tells •• we must "pray for one another." That general law has particular application in she case of those who have particular responsibilities, and to whom we are bound by particular bonds. And a member of the Church has a particular obligation to pray for him who 'is supreme head of the Church. Jesus told us to pray. "Thy kingdom come, and Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.' That does not say for the "intentions of the Pope." It does. For in praying for the intentions of the Pope we pray for the success of all his efforts to secur,:, the corning of God's Kingdom within the souls of men, and the fulfilment of God's will on earth as it is done in heaven. What are the -intentions of the Pope'? I have just stated them. More explicitly they are a, fol:ows : The welfare of Christ's Church: the destruction of error.; the conversion of unbelievers to the Church, and of sinnerrs within the Church: and finally for peace and concord between the nations. We are not praying for anything evil when we pray for the intentions of the Pope. What is the Church ? You claim that the Roman CathoLic Hierarchy is the true Church, and that the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Then explain Isaiah xxvm., 14-18. The text you quote is without any application to the subject you introduce, and does not warrant explanation for the purposes of Your enquiry. Meantime the true Church is the Catholic Church, which consists of all the faithful together with their priests and Bishops, united in belief. worship. and discipline under the Pope as the one visible head appointed by Christ. Against that Church the forces of evil cannot prevail. What is the Church—Pope, priests, or a building? The nature of the Church as a visible and organic society I have explained. En variotis localities members of the Church erect buildings for the practical needs of their religion, and such buildings as are devoted to the worship' of God are commonly called chttr. ches. The rest of your letter is not sensible enough to warrant treatment; and if you really want the obvious replies with which I cannot burden other listeners, I must beg you to seek them elsewhere.

A THEISM IS THE BASIS OF COMMUNISM Distaste of Intellectuals for Metaphysics Productive of Nothing Cultural, But Uniform Mediocrity Russian Conditions Surveyed (By PAUL BRENNAN.) i i-) R(LNI time to tune we are warned by those whose knowledge and position entitle their opinion to respect, that Cotnniunisin is growing in this country. His trace the Archbishop uttered such a warning recently on the occasion of the ex -students of the Christian Brothers' Annual General Communion, when he stated, inter alia, that the Communist Party in Australia had been organised in 17 group movements of which at lease eight operated in this State, masquerading under perfectly harmless titles. Unlike the beanstalk of fable, Communism is not a plant • that springs up overnight. If you view Communism—and how can you view it otherwise—as the application to the social, economic and political organism of fundamental principles incompatible with, and generally opposed to. Christianity, it is easy to see how the seed-bed has been prepared. Your real, hurtful type of atheist won't bomb or burn churches. He is far too polished for that. But he is a man who can quietly and politely, and with a great show of learning, begin by telling his fellows that God does not greatly care about our allegiance. Once that is -established. the road to atheism is clear. Men believe to-day that Governments need take no concern for .God—that education may politely show Him the door —that Science ennobles the intellect, whilst adherence to a religious creed enfeebles it—that charity should not come between man . and his profit, and that the principle. "Business is business," can know nothing about justice, except that those cases in which tin' Government intervenes in the r ole of an ineluctable policeman. Now all this is atheism—it is atheism that is well bred, for it is suave. plausible and persuasive.
F
It is the atheism that is the Outstanding characteristics of our t ime--but it is the atheism that is branded with the mark of unintelligence. Try and discuss the highest of metaphysical problems —the existence of God—with a person who tells vou that "metaphysics is all silly, tiring— -stuff." Yl,ti can't do it, because von are dealing with a person who cannot think out the problems he approaches. His history is all wrong, as are also his notions of c ulture. He reads history backwards. He does not know what the idealism of Catholicism could and did achieve not so long ago. He does not know, for instance, that the 13th. century inaugurated the greatest philosophical revival the world had ever known: the r eactions between philosophy and
theology resulted in the Summa of St. Thomas Aquinas, and the sublime poet of Catholicism: Dante. He does not know—or forgets in his haste to be modern—that the schools which had been founded for the education of the masses developed into the great mediaeval universities; that the fervent piety of that age gave birth to the mendicant Orders; that the same spirit of the idealism of Catholicism chiselled and wrought itself in stone—a thing of everlasting beauty and joy— in the great Gothic Cathedrals.
when it melted before the preaching of the Gospel. The idealism of Christianity had triumphed over the materialism of paganism. and materialism practically disappeared from the annals of philosophy for thirteen hundred years. The Reformation brought its revival. There was' first of all the break-away from authority,. that is, the refusal of men to submit to authority, and trust their Spiritual life to a divinely-guided body. Then you had the many religious dissensions—the rise of commerce-the policy of the clutching hand by the statesmen of the period, men, like Cecil, in England, who had become wealthy overnight because of the loot of sacred places—all this tended to dim the vision splendid of a life beyond the grave. It is fifty-three years since Karl Marx died, and Soviet Russia today is a living example of his teaching. London—not Moscow —was the birth-place of Communism, for it was in the reading-room of the British Museum that Marx made those extensive studies of economic conditions which led to the formulation and deification of a purely mechanical social system—Marx, at once the prophet and the philosopher, the kind of prophet whose flies-age was vengeance, and the kind of philosopher who made facts fit t heories. And from Soviet Russia the social plague of Communism has penetrated every corner of the globe.
Moreover, it is the atheism that thrives in the anti-Catholic democracies of English-speaking countries—distinct by reason only of its technique. not because of principles which are really identical, from the coarser sort typical of the militant atheism of Russia, Mexico, and Spain. It thrives in England, where there is a religious background, and where you would expect resistIt thrives in Australia. ance. where there is no such backIt is the fashion, or amuseground, and where the religion ment, if you like, of speculators of the masses outside the Cathoin the realm of human endeavour lic Church is purely Humanitarto delve into the pages of what ian, that is, the establishment on is past to find if possible a counearth of the King-doin of Man. : terpart or prototype to a great or sounds so NN-ell. that 01(1 parrota bsorbing event of contemporary cry: "Let's be good to one anaffairs, for men like to think that One could even—were other." history repeats itself.

In Russia to-day you have a system of social relationships between human beings which takes no account of man's essential dependence of God. What can you say of the 7,000,000 who at this very moment fill the concentration camps of Soviet Russia, condemned to forced labour—or of the 744,674 people officially put to death between 1917 and 1927 by the Cheka (nol,v the Ogpu), and for which that infamous organisation accepted responsibility—to say nothing of the many thousands besides whose death warrants have been signed over the last nine years by Menzhinsky—whose sadistic blend of cruelty and culture recalls the old story of Nero gloating over a Rome ablaze, and strumming an accompaniment to a well-declaimed recital of Priam's lament over burning Troy—and his successor in office?

- SUBIACO The Mission. A successful iortnight's Mission, in St. Joseph's Church, Subiaco. was brought to a close on Sunday, Feast of Christ the King. The exercises of the Mission were conducted by the Rev. Fathers Walsh and Gorey, of the Redemptorist Monastery. The attendance at the early Mass and instruction was excellent, and the number of those who received the Sacraments - encouraging. During the first w eek the Children's Mission was conducted at the 9 o'clock Mass, the children hearing an explanation of the Mass and instructions on the use of the Missal. At the General Communion of the parish on the closing Sunday, several hundreds approached the altar-rails. An outstanding feature of the Mission was the good attendance of the younger members of the par:sh. T wo enrolments of Holy Name candidates took place, and two hundred men pledged observ4nce of the rules cf the Society. At the Renewal of Baptismal Vows the entire congregation solemnly promised to combat the insidicus enemy of Religion and Human Dignity —Communism. May God deign to bless the resolutions made during the Mission, and may He grant aburdant graces to all for perseverance in idlowing Him who is "the Way. the Truth, and the Life."

The buildings were enlarged to receive boarders. The first students arrived in the beginning of 1856.

Both suf-. ler; the school is the greater loser because it needs unbroken attention. The absence of any educational tradition among the peo• pie who needed the help of their sons on farm and station ,was another factor to prevent the college at Sevenhills from realising its ideal as an educational institution. When the Fathers of the Irish Province came to Victoria in the middle sixties, Sevenhills gave way to St. Patrick's that the College and Xavier Fathers opened in Melbourne.

When Mgr. Byrne summed up the position of the Church in S.A. at the time of the Bishop's death he wrote: "It is true that there was only Catholic one school in the true sense of the word, and that was Seven Hills, conducted by the Jesuit Fathers. The school in the city received a Government subsidy, was visited by its inspectors and was worked under its regulations." (Byrue. P. 97. 1 The Monsignor was a student at Sevenhills at the time of which he speaks. The Adelaide school was conducted as a Catholic school under Government inspection and control. and the Government paid the teachers' salary. In other places the Catholic population was too scattered to . enable :I school to be formed within reach of the necessary number of children of school age. The Jesuit College was the only centre of higher education for Catholics.

A NEW NATION
Philippines Setting for 33rd International Eucharistic Congress A little over a year ago, on February 3, .1937, the first day of the XXXII'. International Eucharitsic Congress which will be held in Manila, Philippine Islands, the Philippine Commonwealth was inaugurated. On this day, November 16, 1935, the report was heard around the world that a new nation was being born, that the Filipino ship of state which had long since been fighting peacefully and otherwise for its independence, was at last about to embark upon that final journey to a place in the concert of free nations. What is the Commonwealth? What is its significance in the history of the Philippines? How did it come about and what were the steps that preceded and led up to it? The struggle of the Filipinos for political sovereignty is as old as their own history. The untimely death of Ferdinand Magellan, the immortal discoverer of the Philippines, at the hands of the brave people of Mactan, was due to their love of freedom which he wanted to curtail. The early revolts, from 1574 to 1843, filled the firmament of Philippine history like so many thunderbolts threatening to dislodge the Spanish flag from its base, were all motivated by the desire of the natives to free themselves from Castillian domination, to remove vexatious personal services, the payment of tributes, the oppression of the government officials, and ultimately to obtain the independence of their motherland. All these revolts were suppressed quite easily, for obviously among the Filipinos, there was lack of unity, lack of proper leadership. Presumably, the Filipinos of the second half of the 19th. century understood those defects, so that they began to remedy them. Societies were established in order to - secure the 'union- of the Archipelago into one compact homogeneous whole" emphasing the necessity of common action. Then, in 1896. under the leadership of Andres Bonifacio, otherwise known as the Father of Philippine democracy, and then later under the leadership of Emilio Aguinaldo, the Filipinos of Central Luzon started a movement to overthrow the Spanish sovereignty and before long the fire that had started began to rage into a revolution in almost all parts of the Archipelago. They drafted their own constitution, organised their own government, enforced e xisting laws, elected -officials of their own, and. fought the Spanish troops. For over a Year the revolution raged on until finally the Spanish Government, being unable to suppress it, and the revolutionists being unable to conquer the whole 'Archipelago for lack

A fter the defect of the Spanish fleet at the hands of Admiral Dewey, in the battle of Manila, and the American oc• cupatien of Manila on August 13, 1898. the President of the United States, as Commander in Chief of the U.S. Army and Navy, assumed full control over the Islands, This control continued until after the Treaty of Paris was signed and ratified, and Congress acted henceforth in the administration of the Philippine government through sex-. eral congressional acts passed in re, ference to the government of the Islands. W hen the Philippines was under the military authority of the President, the head of the local government was a military governor appointed by the President. This official had the power and duty of preserving peace and protecting life and property in the occupied territory. Civil rule was introduced in 1900 with the appointment by the President o f a Commission composed of civilians to assume the legislative power of the military government. In 1901 the subjection of the Philippinos to the military authority of the President ended with the action of Congress taking over "All military, civil and judicial powers necessary to govern the Philippine Islands." A civil government was established, a civil governor appointed to exercise the executive power hitherto exercised by the military governor. The passage of the Philippino Bill, Act of Congress of July 1, 1902, gave Congress full control over the Philippines. Filipino participation in the government of their own country began early in the American regime. The Schur. man Commission, appointed in 1899 by President McKinley to 'aid in the extension of authority throughout the islands and to secure with the least possible delay the benefits of a wise and generous protection of life. and pro. perty to the inhabitants.- .earnestiv urge the granting of a measure of selfgovernment to the Filipinos, by the establishment of autonomous municipal governments and provincial governments. On October 16. 1907. the Philippine A ssembly was called. This saw the
active participation of in the legislative branch of their government. Encouraged by such events, the Filipinos pushed the Independence movement further, by asking to be granted more autonomy in their government participation. in answer to their persistent demands, Congress passed the Hones Law, or the Philippine Autonomy, on August 29, 1916, which was also the first definite promise of the United States to grant Filipinos independence as soon as they had proved themselves capable of self-government: Cheers, and grateful hearts welcomed the man responsible for this grant. Manuel L. Quezon, now President of the Commonwealth, who was the head of the Independence Mission of 1916, and the Resident Commissioner representing the Philippine government in The Philippines remained Congress. under this law, which was its Organis Act, until March 24, 1934, when the Tydings-Mcllutlie Act, which became the Independence Law, was This law provided for the relinqu.....ment of American Sovereignty ten years after the establishment of a Commonwealth government. In aci: ance with this Act, a constitution ...et. drafted by a convention ,approved by the President of the United States on March 25, 1935, and ratified by the people in a plebiscite on May 14, 1936. That plebiscite was more than a mere act of ratification of the Constitution of the Philippinos. It was also a means of determining whether or not the Filipinos were in favour of Philippin() Independence. For unde- the terms of the Philippine Independence Act, if in this plebiscite "a majority Cf the votes shall be for the Constitution, such vote shall be deemed an expression of the will of the people of the Philippinos in favour of Philippino Independence.Airlid great festivities and celebration. the Commonwealth was solemnly inaugurated in Manila on November 15, 1935. Manuel L. Quezon and Sergio Osmene took their oath as President and Vice-President, respectively. in the presence of a huge crowd of people estimated at about 250.000. C-cretary of War, George Dern, ing the President of the United States. the late Speaker, Joseph Byrns, of Con. gress, and many other prominent members of the U.S. l'ongress and U.s Go\ eminent were in attendance. The status of the Philippines during the entire period of the (7ommene- eilth represents a stage (4 transition - 1-on1 that of unincorporated territory ef the United States to that of an ind, pcnc ent state.

On the other hand, the Conlino: wealth is considered from the point view of the United States as a foreign t erritory in many respects.

A House Party is announced to take place at the residence of Mrs. Boylan, Anzac-road, on next Friday, November 13. in aid of the Children's Stall, Guelup. Leederville is situated within the city boundary, but St. Mary's parish goes further afield. Included in it is a pretty place with the pretty name of Guelup—pronounced Gweelup. Guelup is a fertile valley, fresh and fair at this time of the year, and indeed at most times of the year. carrying heavy creps of choice vegetables destined for the tables of the wealthy ones of the city. The valley nestles at the foot of the hills beside Lake Guelup, a lovely expanse of water from which it takes- its name. Here has settled in recent years, and made homes for themselves. a number of hard workins. sons of .rugoslavia and Italy. It reminds one of Goldsmith's "Sweet Auburn," that lovely village of the plain of which the gentle Oliver sang so sweetly. There is, however, this difference. Auburn had a village— Guelup has none, but it has the health plenty to cheer the labouring Su inn. • I was privileged to be one of a party t • s eirney to Guelup on Saturday n:oning, October 31. As we approached the State school one could see at a g:ance that something special was on, Guelup had put on its best holiday attire, and no wonder. for this day was to be a red-letter day in the anna!s of Guelup. Guelup's First Mass. To-day Mass was to be offered in Guelup for the first time! Nor was this all! Some twenty-two children this morning were to make their First Holy Communion. The priests were Fusy for some time hearing confessions and then the Mass Ilegan at 9 o'clock. The nuns from St. Mary's, Leederville. w ith that unerring taste and deft t oilet), for which nuns are noted, had t urned the State school room into a pretty chapel. During Mass a number of the grand old Catholic hymns were sung. Father Moloney offered Mass. .and after Communion addressed a few simple words to the children. He reunspeakable minded them of the privilege that was theirs that morning—they had just received their first Holy Communion. It was, too, the first time that Mass was offered in Guelup. The first Mas..: in Guelup, and they receivs I - Halls Communion for the first time at it. This was a thing that was perhaps unique in the land He was indeed grateful to the Sisters, who for months had been corning there every Saturday to train them and the other children.

Are you going. are you going on the Fifteenth of November, To the Orphans' "Day at Home" at Castledare? Their eager hopes are rising at the prospect of your coming, And already there is tension in the air, 0! thousands go to cricket, and thousands go to football, And there's always ready cash for picture shows, But when the Queen of Charity sends out her invitatiou, Indifference often wilts her glowing rose. Have you felt the blest appeal of this Home for Junior Orphans? Have you ever stopped to ponder for awhile? The security surrounding the wee lads who've lost their parents, And the watchful care that shields them from all guile? Ah! I mind me of a picture that is limned upon my mind, An impression quickly caught and held by me, 'Tis a rare and priceless treasure that no millionaire could purchase. And such a one as angels love to see. I watched a Christian Brother with his young charge slowly walking. And neither of them saw the stranger nigh, Round the little orphan's neck was the Brother's arm caressing, As in earnest conversation both passed by. There was confidence and purpose about the small boy's carriage, A paternal look shone on the Brother's face, There was interest and encouragement combined in his attention, Whilst his arm portrayed a mother's fond embrace. Yes! a father and a mother! he was' these and something more, A friend whose life was pledged to this small lad, An instructor who would teach him by personal example, And a comrade who would cheer his heart when sad. A support who would uphold him through the bitterness of life-, An adviser who would point the clear-cut road, And make him wish to live not unworthy of the One Who bore for him the ignominious load. The Brothers seek not Mammon in their lives of selfless toil, Nor do they seek the notice of the world, They are out to train to goodness the present generation, For Christ the King their standard is unfurled. "For Christ the King and souls!" This is their watchword, And orphan big and small may come to them, And from them go to face the world of commerce As citizens no rivals may contemn Are you going, are you going, on the Fifteenth of November, To the Orphans' "Day at Home" at Castledare?

n Exorcising the Press So frequent has become the necessity of checking, chiding and chastening the secular press that some explanation or apologia' ought to be offered. When printing was invented it was acclaimed by the Church, ever progressive, as a potential channel for effecting great good in a short time. Indeed the very first document which came from the European press was a Papal ind dgence. But the liberalism of the Papacy soon received a rude ch.2:k, for it became apparent that the press was being widely used as a propaganda medium for evil. With the disintegration of doctrinal unity at the Reformation, this malign influence was greatly agThe Church was thrown on to the defensive and the gravated. finest flowers of her learning and culture assumed the role of apoA devil had entered into the printing house and bis exlogist. orcism became one of the chief concerns of post -reformation With the rise of political liberalism, and subjectivCatholicism. ism in religion, that evil spirit took unto himself seven devils more evil than himself.

Witting-1v or unwittingly, our local press is being employed as the medium of Communistic. and therefore anti-Christian, propaganda. A letter which appeared in Monday's "West Australian" may serve as a case in point.

E t requires a little knowledge of the past century in European history combined with a fixed intention to treat fairly, even of things Catholic. The bias•of the Press might be more tolerable if the logic of its correspondents were either- cogent or compelling. But when the defence of the Spanish Government is made to rest upon its accepted legality by the English Press, then we are overwhelmed by its child-like simplicity, though it is not of the order which enters Why are not the people informed that the Kingdom of Heaven. but of the entire.

Almost every member of the Australian Hierarchy will take part in the Congress, and several important pronouncements. especially on the matter of education, will probably be made as a result. The Congress is for the benefit of one of the most important aspects of Catholic life—the Catholic education of our children-and truths will be ventilated at Adelaide for the benefit M the Church and the instruction of those not of the Fold. A claim may be made for assistance to Catholic schools, a matter of simple justice, which is long overdue. It cannot be doubted that the fairmindedness which characterises Australians in other matter: will prevail in the matter of education should Catholic claims be pressed. Meanwhile, the Catholics of this State who are unable to a‘ t end the Congress. may lend it the spiritual support of the: prayers, that much good may result from it to the glory of . and the further advance of the Church in Australia.
Roosevelt's Victory The decisive victory of Franklin Roosevelt in the Presidcnti: elections, held in America on Tuesday. must be the occa il,ll considerable exultation on the part of Christians in many parts the world. For his purpose has been, not the patching of ft , . crumbling walls of Capitalism, but the achievement of a prim m m revolution. This tearing down and rebuilding has been evident mostly in the financial and economic spheres, but the roots of thc process have been moral and religious. Roosevelt is so much more than a politician. His interest has been in philosophy rather than rhetoric. And his policy has been uneonlessedly, but unmistakably, based upon the Papal encyclicals. One may.. o: course, dispute his interpretation. For such men as Father Coughlin and Governor Smith subscribe to the same principles. and yet are antagonistic to Roosevelt's practical solution. However, it is a tremendous thing to find a man with the courage to attemw thc application of Christian principles in a country so reputedly ultramodern as America. Would that our politicians v, mid take an arrow from his quiver! . .4. N

Correspondence Sir,—One cannot read "Sad News of Refugees of Montserrat Abbey" or the Holy Father's touching words to the refugees, without being moved. What an example to the whole world these and the Catholics of Spain have given in their steadfast stand for the Faith. Their example surely will bring many a weak Catholic to see how blessed he is in possessing the greatest gift God can bestow on anyone, the Light of the Faith. I really think we Catholics. so far removed, can show our appreciation of these martyrs by giving something to try and alleviate their destitute condition.

A fter the opening prayers had been recited, the Grand President, in welcoming His Grace the Archbishop, Rey. Father O'Reilly, and delegates, said it was his happy privilege to extend to them all a very hearty and sincere welcome to the 38th. ordinary District meeting. They were all delighted that His Grace had been able to preside at the opening of the con.
Biennial District Conference Address by the Archbishop ference. The presence of His Grace at a function of the society they looked upon as a very gieat honour and privilege indeed. They were deeply indebted to His Grace for the practical interest he had shown in our society, especially during the past twelve months, and his Grace's action in that regard had been earnestly followed by his priests, and the success of the society was attributable largely to that support. Since their last conference the Right Rey. •Monsignor Ver• ling had gone to his reward. His death was keenly regretted by every member of the society in the State, not on11; because of the late Monsignor's sterlng qualities as a priest, hut because of the wonderful interest that he had always manifested in the society and its welfare. By his death the society had lost one of its very best friends. During the past year the society had been bereaved by the passing of some of its outstanding members. In the beginning of June last, the late National President, Bro. Con O'Mahony, was suddenly taken from them and a couple of months later the society lost one of its most constant and valuable members in the pee,son of the late Bro. Mick Brown, one of the Grand Auditors. All were aware of the wonderful work performed by them for the society, and they should continue to remember them both in their prayers The speaker said he was very pleased to be able to report that during the last couple of years the society had made great progress from every point of view. New branches had been established at Narrogin. Wiluna and East Victoria Park. and arrangements had been made for a branch to he formed at Palmyra immediately. That satisfactory progress has been caused largely by the interest manifested by His Grace in the society and lw the splendid assistance given by the priests in the parishes mentioned. The All Hallows' Branch. at Boulder. was reestablished. and St. Joseph's Branch, Albany, was reorganised. Here again the success achieved was attributable to the active interest of the Rev. Dr. Goody, at Boulder, and the Very Rev. Dean Gilroy, at Albany. With one or two exceptions. all branches are functioning well throughout the State. During the last twelve months the

membership increased by 140, and it now stands at 1,374. lit' would like to express the society's appreciation of the help given to the society by their splendid Catholic paper, "The Record. ' The publicity given in the way of publishing reports had on several occasions caused Catholics to enquire with regard to the aims and objects of the society, and had been responsible for bringing the knowledge of the society before the people generally. From the social point of view the Metropolitan Social Council had functioned well and successfully, but deserved a great. er measure of support and co-operation on the part of the general body of members. He urged delegates to insure that all the branches in the metropolitan area would assist the council to the fullest possible extent in the carrying out of its very fine work. The Grand President referred to the honour that had been conferred on the new National President. Bro. Hynes, by his elevation to that high office in the place of the late Bro. O'Mahony. Bro. Hynes was so well known to every member and his work was so much appreciated, that the appointment was greeted with enthusiasm by the whole of the • members throughout the State. Bro. J. W. Whitely, a Past District President, was appointed as National Treasurer, and here again the opinion was unanimous that the National Directory had made a very wise choice. Silt expressed the hope that the National Directory would have a most fruitful and happy term of office, and that at the expiration of that term they would be able to make a report that would be greeted with the utmost satisfaction at the Triennial Convention in 1938. She extended a special welcome to Rev. Father O'Reilly, who she understood was coming in contact with the society for the first time. No doubt he would regularly he associated with their members and she felt sure that he w ould find the society helpful to him in his missionary work in Western Australia. He had very much pleasure in declaring the District Meeting' open and invited His Grace to address the Sisters and Brothers. I the Archbishop's Address, His Grace was greeted enthusiastically. • He addressed them as dear brothers and dear sisters. He thought that was the most familiar way in which he could address them all. He did not know whether he was a life member of the Hibernian Society or not, but he did know that he had made a desperate attempt some years ago to be initiated into St. Patrick's Branch. However, his efforts to attend a meeting were unsuccessful. and he was not clear as to what his position
was so far as membership was concern. ed. He understood that he was ae. tually elected but still not initiated. Whenever that initiation ceremony could be arranged he should be delighted to attend and complete his membership. He was delighted to have been able to attend the opening of their conference, and was more than grateful to the Grand President for his kindly words and to them for the en. thusiastic manner in which they received those words of welcome. Ile could assure them that he took a great interest in the Hibernian Society and amything he could do to further the interests of the society lic would do gladly at all times. He was delighted to see two old friends from the Goldfields there, Bro. Sam Hill and Bro. Miles Sharkey. He had a very soft spot for the Goldfields and for the people there. He had experieno erl their warm-heartedness and generosity on the many occasions on which he had visited the Goldfields on a col. lecting campaign. He had a very soft spot for them, and delegates from the Goldfields he was always delighted to meet. He wished their deliberations every success and hoped they would result in enthu5iasm on the part of the members of the society individual.

Societies such as theirs have ever been the pride and glory of the Church On them She has lavishly bestowed Her gifts at all times. They have ever been a" bulwark of the Church. and amongst these societies cone will rank higher than the society to which they w ere privileged to belong, the Hibernian Australasian Catholic Benefit Sorietv. The motto of Faith, Hope and charity was the embodiment of the Christian ideal. Experience had proved that temporal amelioration could he most effectively done by being built on a spiritual foundation, and so their society came into being modelled on true Christian lines and was doing it;, work in a truly Catholic manner- It was built on a very solid foundation, and had very old and noble traditions to follow. He was sure that they would always be loyal and true and faithful to the high ideals of the Hiber. nian Society to which they were privileged to belong. If he might make a s uggestion it would be that they make a combined effort, individually and collectively. to make better known the aims, ideals, and benefits of their society. That would result in greater appreciation of their society and would, he trusted, meet with the suo cess that the society undoubtedly deserves. To take an example: There were several benefit societies here in W.A. to which many Catholics belong. They were benefit societies like their own, with benefits • no better than theirs, but those Catholics who belonged to such benefit societies had not the spiritual advantages that they enioYedHe was sure that if they put before them the ideals and benefits of the society they could get many of them to ' join. This was only a suggestion and offered for what it was worth He was delighted to hear that some new branches were established during the year. Within the next two years some of the parishes in the metropolitan area would be divided and when this was carried into effect it might be possible to have branches of the society formed in these divided parishes. His Grace was glad to know that the priests were taking an interest in the society. In the course of a Retreat a couple of years ago he had asked the priests to undertake the chaplainship of the branches in their respective parishes, and to do everything possible to assist th? society. He wished to assure them that nothing he could do in the furtherance of their society will he looked upon by him as too great, and he thought he could offer the same spirit of helpfulness on the part of his priests. His Grace understood that the Perth branch, St. Patrick's, had no chaplain at present, hut he had a chaplain with him at the" moment, whom he should he delighted to appoint as c'haplain to St. Patrick's Branch.

The total membership was 1,374 ( an increase of 196 since the last conference), distributed over 23 branches. The annual Communion and breakfast, held in 1935, was most successful and represented a wonderful manifestation of Faith on the part of the members, but the annual closed Retreat held at the Monastery was not so well attended as the Dist:':.t Board desired. 'Ike Metropolitan Social Council was highly commended on its splendid work. The report of Bro. W. A.

There was a full attendance of officers and a number of members came along to avail themselves of the opportunity to discuss the agenZa paper "for the biennial conference, which took place two days later. The fact also of the National Directory having once more come to the West lent an added interest to the proceedings. As our indefatigable secretary, Sr. Coffey, was about to leave for an extended holiday (visiting Adelaide for the, the Centenary celebrations and the other capitals, en route to the next Eucharistic Congress at Manilla early in 1937), it was decided that some sort of recognition of her valuable services to the branch should be given before her departure. But as is customary, when the conference is held in Perth, the District Board usually hold a social evening on the Monday following to entertain the visiting delegates. And as Sr. Coffey occupied at one period, first the position of G.V.P , later G.D.P., and G.P.P. on the Board, it was deemed advisable to defer the branch presentation, as the District Board was taking advantage of their own social evening to wish Sr Coffey -bon voyage- and present her'with a taken of the esteem in which she is held throughout the society generally The Social. The social was held in the Stirling Institute, and was a great success. During an interval before supper the members of the National Directors', the newly-elected members of the incoming District Board, and the Rev. Fr Dunne, Head Chaplain to the society, delegated the new G.D•P .,Sr. Williamson to make the only speech of the evening in presenting Sr. Coffey with a very handsome leather writing case. suitably inscribed. Sr. Coffey received an enthusiastic reception on rising to respond, and gave a brief resume of her connection with the Board during her term of office, and thanked them very sincerely for their splendid gift. On Sunday the Members of the branch met at Mrs. Gray's home in Lordstreet, and a very pleasant little function took place. Sr. O'Shaughnessy ( president), in a happy speech. eulogised the work of the secretary over a continuous period of twenty-five years, and asked Sr. Coffey to accept on Ilehalf of the members a s-ery nice travelling cushion and a fountain pen. touched was deeply Sr. Coffey the sinboth y the gifts and cere wishes that accompanied them. and spoke of her connection with the society since she became a member in 1905. and hoped to continue her good work on her return.

It was decided definitely that after each meeting there will be some social programme arranged for the entertainment of members, so that each meeting will be made very attractive. It was suggested that a badge for members should -be made available in order that they may be distinguished wherever they are. The suggestion commended itself to the members and will be sub. mitted to the District Board. Sr. Higgins and Bro. A.

Fremantle C.Y.M.S. Cricket. What a welcome to our new captain and coach, Charlie Hansen, and to our vice-captain, Mick Greaney, on Saturday last when we played our first game of the season against the Navy, in the Fremantle Mercantile Association! Our opening batsmen, Ron Cant and Bill Hughes, put up 28 runs before Ron was bowled after making 20. Our other batsmen did not show form, however, until Joe Kelly and Jack Day got going in a last wicket partnership that made the fur fly. Their fine effort brought our total to near the hundred mark and the rest was left to our bowlers. Mick Greaney came to light with six wickets for 18 runs, but apart from Jim O'Connor, who took 2 for 1 in the closing stages, our bowlers did not shine. The Navy's total fell short of our tally by 30 runs. and C.Y.M.S. has started the season with a win. Ladies' Night. Our next ladies' night will be held on Thursday, November 26, and our social committee reckon it will be the hest ever held by the society. In order to select the sheep from the goats, that is, to select those who will be allowed to give items at this important syllabus item, the club is running a concert night on November 19. This will be as entertaining as the ladies' night item. Be in it. fair supporters of the C.Y.M.S.! You won't regret it. Cricket Raffle. The raffle conducted by the cricket c ommittee was very successful, and was won by the holder of ticket No. 744, S. Cicerello, Arcade Boot Shop, Fremantle.

Club Jottings. Some of our runners are so enthusiastic about our Marathons that they w ant to start the Marathons now. I don't think Leo James would appreciate being the 1936 champion, though, if he had to share the cup with some chap who may not have been in the e vent last time. The success of our recent hot dog supper has prompted some of our chaps to suggest an ice cream supper in the near future. What, with chaps like Joe Lowry, Tommy Sykes, and Phil Tozer around? There is quite a lot of talk, too, among the younger members about our 1937 Easter camp. Phil Tozer, in particular, reckons he is going to be on the camp committee next time If he does, I knew 20 chaps who went to the Easter camp this year who will not he going. BY the way, including Phil, there were exactly 21 chaps present at Rockingham for the last cam,.

Sunday last was the Feast of All Hallows. The second Mass was a "Nlissa Cantata."

St. Columba s, South Perth On Sunday., the f-east of All Saints, thirty-two of our little ones received Jesus as their guest for the first time. The purity and contentment of their little souls was reflected in their spotless white garments, and in their composed and edifying behaviour. Our good priest, Rev. Dr. McMahon, in simple language urged them to lift up their pure hearts to God and ask Him for everything they wanted, for they would never be more worthy to receive Him. He emphasised that their most earnest prayer should be to ask God to protect them through life from the uncleanness of the world and to keep their hearts always pure as they were that morning. He thanked their parents for sending them so befittingly dressed, and the Sisters who prepared them for their successful effort. He told the children they were a credit to their school. After Mass the children were received by the Sisters at the Convent, where breakfast was prepared for them in the boarders' refectory. The blending of the rich colours of carnations with the soft pastel-shade serviettes threw a glamour of loveliness ,ver all the good things accumulated on the tables to delight the animal sense, and lent a justifiable pleasure to the hard work of eating on such a hot morning The signal 'to commence was given when Father said grace: he afterwards went amongst the children with a cheerio for the timid until they forgot there were so many grown-ups about, and they forgot the restraint that the sense of the beautiful imposes little one : they forgot everything except that they were meant to he happy -7-and they were.

of resistance or of movement. It seems a mistake in this connection to endeavour to separate the consciousness of pressure from that of mere contact. The difference between them is one of degree, and in the actual experience of the child sensations of touch, so far as they are of any psychological significance, inN.olve feelings of pressure. The first real question to confront us is: How do we come to know the spatial relations of the several parts of our own person? In mature life we instantaneously localise an impression in the point of the body irritated; and some writers maintain that the affirmation of consciousness is of such a character that this reference of a feeling to the part excited must be a natural endowment possessed from the beginning. But what precisely is meant by saying. "I feel a pain in my foot?" The statement at once calls up a visual image of the member affected; and it further presents this image at about five feet in a nearly vertical line from my eyes.

sations of movement, and as the visual image of my foot is certainly not given in the painful f ecling of pressure, the first consciousness of such a sensation could not have been similar to this. We are not born with an innate idea or representation of our person. Aristotle, long ago, taught that all knowledge starts from experience, and the topography of our own body is no exception to the rule. By observation and e xperiment, and not through any pre-supposed endowment, we have come to learn the shape and appeaarnce of our organism, and to know the definite locality on the visual map to which a particular tactual stimulation is to be referred.

To date there are exactly an odd 300 cards less in circulation than this time last year, so why I'm persevering in thinking we will raise that Thousanc is beyond me to explain. All volunteers who have had the cards since early in the year are requested to get them back to headquarters by December 8, but those who are at present volunteering will not be expected to return them by that date, but are asked to have them back by December 28, so that they may be included in the year's reckoning. A nom de guerre may be used for letters to the Corner but all volunteers for cards must fur• nish full name and address.

My Mail Bag Kuhn. Dear Aunt Bessy,—Please send me a book of tickets on St. Philomena's statue (keep the butts), and I enclose a ten shilling note; the balance will no doubt be able to squeeze into the Lemonade Bottle.—Yours sincerely, ANDREW G. COMMON. Dear Mr. Common,—Your unexpect. ecl• and generous return after such a short interval is one of the aids to my optimistic hopes concerning the Objective, and though I can't promise to make out the lucky number among your butts, I do hope St. Philomena will get you a big blessing if not her statue. Not having received an urgent wire to the contrary, I've managed to squeeze the balance of what was a E1 note into the Lemonade Bottle, so if von want the extra 10s back the L.B, will collapse, as she has already greatly suffered from enforced slimming due to the activitier in the Litany of the Blessed. Many thanks. 4.UNT I3ESSY. West Perth. Dear ;Aunt Ressy,—I see by "The Record" that you have been com. manded to have all The Fivers filled in as soon as possible, and I notice that poor St. Bernadette has not a penny given in her honour vet, so enclosed you will find two postal notes to the value of E2 to begin her Fiver with. Wishing the Bushies' Scheme every blessing and success.—Yours faithfully, (Mrs.) C. E. WILLIAMSON. Dear Mrs. Williamson,—When you saw last Sunday's - Record" I am sure you were delighted to see that a trio of little people and a few others had given your favourite a start, but your generous offering has given her a great lift, and I am so gratefuk as, D.V., she should be secure when next w eek's colours go up. AUNT BESSY, Perth. Dear Aunt Bessy,—Once again I write trusting you and the Cornerites are well and that things are on the high way towards the achievement of the £1,000. Please find enclosed 2s 6d, and as you will find one Wallflower you will know what the 2/6 is for, and the 5s for the butts. Now the third portion of 15s. is sent to start off St. V eronica for the Litany. My name in the Third Order of St. Francis is Veronica, so I would like to see my little saint honoured, and I do wish my offering was larger, but as I have been ill for the past few weeks, it has not been possible for me to do any collecting. We are nearly on our last 1936 effort, and I have five more Wallflowers and one book of tickets, but I am hopeful about them. Love from, BUSHIE BESSY. Dear Bushie Bessy,—Now who told you I was wishing that someone would give an offering in honour of St. Veronica that would entice me to make her eligible for inclusion in the Litany? She is the patroness of someone very closely related to my honorable self, therefore I am delighted to think you are a "Veronica" too. I received the last couple of cards unaccompanied by any note from you, and was wondering if you were ilk. I hope you are better and that you will be able to rejoice in seeing the completion of the Thousand you have worked sc, zealously for. AUNT BESSY. Leederville. Dear Aunt Bessy,—Did yo,i think I had forsaken you and your dear Cause? (I did.) I have been so tardy, but please forgive me and send me a book of tickets on St. Phil, mena's statue, and I will dispose of them for you. I have great devotioi, towards that dear saint and hope I will win the statue. Wishing you every success in this Year's Campaign, and hoping the parcel of stamps will be useful.—Yours sincetely, MARGARET MARY Dear Margaret Mary,—It is good to find you coming back in time to give me an optimistic spirit about the Objective and the raffle, and thank you very much for the parcel of used stamps. If you don't win the statue I am sure you will win some recompensing blessing from the saint whom you love. AUNT BESSY. Jest Here. Dear Aunt Ressy,—I am enclosing a few pence in honour of Blessed Clem-
TWENTY-FOUR cut Hafbauer, C.SS.R., and I wish you every success for your Cause deserves it all, and so says, PLAIN JANE Dear Plain Jane,—Someone else who wasn't plain at all gave themselves that name a few years ago, and now she is in the more cloistered Brigade and bears another name, so if she sees your letter she will be glad to think another "Plain Jane" is filling in the gap. Thank you for the few shillings that have gone to help make St. Clement secure, and I hope those two "Records" reached you safely. The one whom you think is Aunt Bessy is now in N.S.W., hut I posted him your letter just as it was enclosed in the one you intended for print, so he will write to you probably and explain, as when he was in this State I did not like to spoil your enjoyment in thinking he was me.

Why should not I as well as they Grow lssvely growing old?" Thank you for your offering, and hope the favours will continue. AUNT BESSY Beautiful Bunbury. Dear Aunt Bessy,—Enclosed please find a small donation for the Bushies, in honour of St. Ignatius. Sorry not to have written sooner, but my apparent neglect was not due to forgetfulness of yourself or the Bushies. In response to your S.O.S. last week I have sent a box of used stamps to you, and I wish you every success in your efforts to reach the £1,000 mark. —Yours as ever, THE COUNTRY COUSIN. Dear Country Cousin,—My best than4ss for honouring Saint Ignatius and for being so speedily -responsive for my plea for used stamps. Another £235 16s 9id. will see our Objective made, so pray a little prayer for that, and may le bon Dieu hear you. AUNT BESSY. Wyola. Dear Aunt Bessy,--Please find enclosed 5s. for Victory for the Faith in With best wishes for the Spain. Scheme and asking for a remembrance in your prayers. THERESE. Dear Therese:—I could wish that the victory for the Faith in Spain was as assured as my grateful remembrance of you in prayer. I gave your offering to the soldier saint of the Spain of happy memory—St. Ignatius—and if only Catholics wouTd be earnest in asking for the 'Victory of Faith in his country, God's Heart would surely be moved to grant it through the merits of the saints of old Spain and its present-day martyrs.

THE RECORD. Fiver," and Fivers alone would never get me near my Objective, as you will see when the Litany is tutted up, but the small offering, which is generally the fruit of sacrifice, is most important, so do not be regretful of not being rich. To be rich in charity and desire is the main thing, as God's blessing accompanies that, AUNT BESSY: - ----Feast of Christ the King. Dear Aunt Bessy,—You will be pleased with the return of money and butts on the statue. We have had a wonderful Mission given by Fathers Walsh and Gorey, C.SS.R., and everyone was sorry when it closed. On Friday morningI took my book of tickets with me to Mass, and called in on a few friends on my way home, and by the time I got home I had only two left. My little friend Dorothy was delighted with the token you sent her, and she is going to write to you. Please send another book of tickets and I will do my best to sell them. A WEMBLEYITE. Dear Wembleyite,—I was pleased to see the butts and cash back so quickly, and very grateful for Your way of getting the tickets sold while the _fervour of the Mission was still in the hearts of Your friends. There is not much hope for Catholics who refuse to take their religious obligations Feriousl v nowadays, and we should make the most ol every opoortunity that that enables us to realise them, and every Mission is a spiritual uplift whose grace will remain if we are careful to treasure it, and you are safe in that respect. . Dorothy has made her shy debut among the younger generation in this issue, and thank You for being her chaperon. AUNT BESSY. Mc. Millan-street Victoria Park. Dear Aunt Bessy,—Enclosed please find one card and 2/7, and will You please send me another book of tickets on the statue of St. Philomena? Send me fwo more cards also, as this is the last one of the old lot. I am sending some used stamps as well along with 6d. for the Lemonade Bottle. (Mrs.) T. MOYNAHAN. Dear Mrs. Moynahan,—If only I had a Mrs. Moynahan in every parish that Thousand would have been in somewhere last June, and may the Lord bless you for the unfailing assistance you have given me this year, for while helping each new venture you have kept up a kindly feeling towards our poor old Lemonade Bottle, so that if it wasn't made of glass I'm sure it would want to give you a kiss. Many thanks for all, and we only want £235 16s 91d more, so keep a prayer going about it between this and the 31st. December. AUNT BESSY.

Please send me a book of tickets on St. Philomena, as I have read about the raffle, and you can send me another card, too, but don't expect me to fill it quickly as I will be late. I hope you will get the £1,000. ROSA ARRIGO. Dear Rosa,—It did not seem as if that card was away a long time at all, and I won't expect the last one back until you are quite sure you can spare the pennies, so don't you worry over having it until after Christmas, but if you sell any tickets out of the book you will have to return the butts by Thursday, November 16, as the raffle is going to be drawn on the 19th.

TWENTY-FIVE how does it feel to be 15 to-day Of course I do know how it did feel. hut that was a very long time ago. and the little people of ten these days seem to be as old as the young folks of 15 were when I was that age. You will be all of 14 on the 12th. May, Mary, so you are growing out of the Corner, too. The 12th, is also Shirley's date, though the book doesn't give her age away, but we know that you, Frances, are going to be 9 on the 9th. and we hope it will be a happy-hearted little girl who will blow out the nine candles. Somebody else is going to have a cake with nine candles on it, and nat's you, Bob, isn't it, and.I do hope none of the others will start blowing lein out before you've finished feasting as you deserve all you get on your birthday, because you are true to the Bushies, and so are you, Patrick Alph onsus 1 Tiddles reckons you will have to be a priest or a brother, with names like the ones you are privileged to have, because both Saint Patrick and Saint Al phonsus were great saints and great missioners, but you won't know for certain what you are going to be for about another ten years, as you will only be 7 on the 11th. Still, all of you can be very true and holy children of OUT Holy fother the Church during these Years of your first youth, and that will be the best preparation for making you even more true and holy and worthy in the years that wait you in the future. I am reminded this week of the birthday of one of my little soldiers who is now in Heaven—Marie Blanche Gardner. Marie, if she had lived would have been S on the 7th., but though we still miss her in the Corner, sure she still loves the Busbies and that she would want each of you to love them too with all your hearts, so do that, and your work for them will also form your characters to he unselfish and zealous where all that concerns God and souls is concerned.

NUN DIES IN SOVIET PRISON AFTER 13 YEARS Priest Succumbs in a Penal Settlement. News has been received from Berlin of the death in prison of Mother Anna Ivanovna Abrigos. soya, foundress and superior of the Russian Third Order of Do. minican Nuns of the Oriental (Catholit) rite. Mother Abrigossova died in the Boutirki prison in Moscow on July 23, after a severely guarded detention which lasted for over 13 years. The body was not returned to the family but cremated, as is customary in Soviet gaols.

Mr. Rowland Winn. a resident of Madrid, who left that city recently. throws a bright light on the facts of the Spanish quarrel, in an article entitled "Madrid under the Terror" in the "Daily Telegraph." A fter telling of the horror of the daily and systematic murders, he goes on to say: "The workers in Spain to-day all .regard themselves as taking part in a revolution of the Left. A Marxist revolution was, in fact, planned and anticipated. The so-called Rebels — under Franco's directions are not rebelling against the constituted Government, as is so widely believed. They are rebels against r evolution. This may be the only case in history where revolution has been successfully neutralised by a counter revolution starting a little sooner."
Church are never content with anything short of exterminating her teaching and her ideals, breaking up her organisation and stamping out from the m inds and customs of the people. if it be possiHi.. the vision of unseen things. Everybody now sees that all Europe is involved in the Spanish catastrophe. Mr. Belloc was alone when he declared fivc y ears ago in his "Universe" article that events of that time con 4ituted the greatest crisis in F,urope.
