BY REV. DR.
R UMB LEms., Origin of Apostles' Creed "Interested,- Mittagong:

What is the origin of the Cieed?
Apostles'
The Apostles Creed is a summary statement of the main teachings of the Apostles. The Apostles themselves did It was drawn pp not compose it. after their death, in order to embody in a brief rule of faith the substance of their doctrines. The first and earliest forms of this Creed appear in the 2nd. century. But it went through various arrangements and reconstructions in order to exclude new errors and heresies, until it finally assumed the present form in the 5th. century. There is no doubt as to its value and authority. nor as to the fact that its contents are derived from the preaching of the Apostles themselves.
Protestants' Belief in "The Catholic Church" What do Protestants mean when they say, ''I believe in the Holy Catholic Church'?
conscious. And he insisted on the Catholic being true to his religious obligation, even at his own expense. Do the bread and wine at Mass become the Body and Blood of Christ before or during the Elevation? Immediately before the Elevation. The change is effected by the words of c onsecration, and then the Host and Chalice are elevated for the adoration of those present.
"Infant Jesus of Prague How did Christ become known under the title of the "Divine Infant of Prague?" The title is derived from an image of the Child Jesus preserved in a Carmelite Church in Prague. It has been reverenced in that church since 1628. Some time prior to this it appears that a Religious Community was in grave temporal want- A noble Bohemian lady named Princess Von Lobkowitz, brought them a small image of the Infant Jesus, telling the Religious that it would bring them a great blessing if they honoured it for the love of the Child Jesus whom it represented. It brought many spiritual and temporal blessings upon them, and rapidly became quite a public devotion. Pope Pius X. declared that this devotion should inspire parents to invoke upon their children the special protection of the Child Jesus, and to train them to love Him and to imitate the virtues of His infancy and childhood at Nazareth.
Who authorises the paying for candles? Go to the grocer, take a packet and bolt; and your problem will be to explain who authorised you to take them without paying for them. Did not Christ say, "Make not my house a house of merchandise?" He did. If you have any questions to send in concerning those words I will be only too happy to answer them when time permits.
Supremacy of The Pope "Listener," Cardiff, N.S.W. An Anglican clergyman tells me that St. James, Bishop of Jerusalem, was the supreme Bishop in the early Church. Is that why St. Peter presided at the Council of Jerusalem, and brought all discussion to an end by giving his verdict? It is remarkable how some Anglicans develop a sudden and shortlived respect for St. James when they wish to depreciate St. Peter. But if St. James was the supreme Bishop in the early Church, who succeeded him in that office? We can point to the successors to St. Peter. Where is the rival lineage derived from St. James? It is intelligible that opponents of the Catholic Church should deny St. Peter's supremacy, and insist that all the Apostles were equal in all things That would not he true, hut I say that it would be an intelligible attitude. But to say that St. James was the superior of all the other Apostles is disastrous to the anti-Papal position. He said that it is only recently that the Pope was acknowledged as Head of the Church of Rome. You should ask him to define what he means by "recently." From St. Peter onwards, the Pope has always been acknowledged as Head of the Catholic Church on earth.
There are multitudes of Protestants, of course, who neither know the Apostles' Creed, nor say it. Of those who do say it, many have no idea of what they mean when they use the words you quote. Others, realising at least the meaning of the words, say them uneasily and with quite a sense of guilt. They hurry over them, and dismiss them quickly, as if they should not be there, or as if they, at any rate, should not be saying them. Others, again, say them and mean them. but Sydney: mean them in a peculiar sense.

Misquoting Magna Charta He quoted something about some oath in the Magna Charta saying that the King was subject to the English Church, not to the Pope of Rome. He was referring to the famous expression that the "Church in England would be free." But these words did not Olean that the Church was to be free from the Pope. They meant that the Church was to be. free from the t yranny of King John. Stephen Langton. Archbishop of Canterbury, together with the Barons, wrung from King John the Charter of Liberty for the Church and the people. J - ohn was forced to acknowledge that the Church in England was not subject to the Crown, and to grant it free access to the Pope and liberty in its dealings with Rome. To quote the words. "The Church shall be free," and pretend that it meant freedom from the jurisdiction of the Pope rather than from the oppression of King John, who was being forced to sign the document and grant its provisions, is the height of historical dishonesty.
English Theologians Did any early English theologians call themselves Anglo-Catholics, or did they acknowledge the Pope's jurisliction? No early English theologians dreamed of calling themselves "Anglo-Catholics." They all acknowledged the Pope's jurisdiction. Tell your friend to get a copy of Venerable Bede's "Ecclesia§tical History." and note all the references to the Pope in that work. As a matter of fact, for over 300 years of its history, no member of the Church of England used the title "Anglo-Catholic." At least from the days of Elizabeth until quite recent times, Anglicans rejoiced in their claims to the title "Protestant." And Low Church Anglicans are lamenting the fact that High Church people are so ashamed of the Protestanf character of the Church of England. Give the dates when the English Church acknowledged Rome's supremacy at any Councils, or in any way. The English Church acknowledged Rome's supremacy at all times from its earliest beginnings until 1534, when Henry VIII. repudiated the jurisdiction of the Pope.
Anglican Orders This clergyman said that he could always confound a R.C. by asking whether the Pope's condemnation of Anglican Orders as invalid in 1896 was an ex Cathedra utterance or not. The technical point as to whether it was an infallible ex-Cathedra decision or not has no bearing on the fact that the Pope has irrevocably decided that Anglican Orders are invalid for the purposes of the Christian priesthood. Catholic theologians discuss the question as to whether this decision, which deals not with the definition of doctrine, but with what is known as a "dogmatic fact," complies with all the strict requirements of infallibility. But no Catholic theologian questions the truth of the decision. The technical discussion has no practical importance. The matter is finally settled; and no Anglican clergyman could become a Catholic on the understanding that his Anglican ordination would be recognised by the Catholic Church. He said that the Pope wasn't game to put it in black and white. The Pope did so. I find it hard to believe that yon are onotir- your Anglican clergyman correctly. However. I am anowering Your questions at their face value.
"Use of Instruments" This rector mentioned some argument about the use of the instruments in Roman ordination. What did he intend by that? He was using a stock Anglican argument that the Popes should not condemn any change of rite by Anglicans

An Anglican Shepherd
The rector told me that he knew his history and had taken degrees in that subject. If so, and all that you ascribe to him be true, one is left wondering whether his degrees were above or below zero. I am a convert to the Catholic Church, and he was sounding me as to my lapse from the Church of England. In that, he was doing what he believed to be his duty; and I have nothing but admiration for the man who tries to fulfil what he deems to be his duty within reasonable limits, And your friend did not exceed reasonable limits in coming to discuss the subject with you. He was kind and courteous. And after all, he would have been much more comfortable at home enjoying a pleasant book than setting out to save one whom he regarded as a lost lamb from his foci You should appreciate his self-sacrifice in the cause of what he considered his duty, and his interest in you. But his presentation of points in favour of his Anglican Church was undoubtedly most unimpressive, if your account of them does him justice.

Anglicans and the Mass A Sydney Anglican friend of mine says that the Anglican Church has authority to celebrate the Sacrifice of the Mass, and to reserve the Blessed Sacrament. Both those items are quite out of harmony with Anglicanism. But as your friend is scarcely likely to accept my word for this, you should suggest that he consult the Anglican Archbishop of Sydney on the point. If I am not very much mistaken, he w ould deny strongly that there is any Anglican authority for the celebration of the. Sacrifice of the Mass, and the reservation of the Blessed Sacrament. At the recent Anglican Synod in Sydney, Canon Langford Smith declared that the very idea of Mass being celebrated in St. Andrew's Cathedral would till Sydney Anglicans with "anguish and distress." That does not suggest that the celebration of Mass is authorised by. the Anglican Church. If a person really believes in Anglicanism If he he must repudiate the Mass. really believes in the Mass, he must repudiate Anglicanism. High Church people who borrow the ceremoni of the Mass from Catholic Liturgy, and profess their continued belief in Anglicanism show a mental dexterity which is quite baffling to the ordinary, common-sense. man who still believes in his simplicity that contradictory things cannot be 5imultaneously true.

fact that is carefully masked under- the Common Front strategy. "Let us fight against Imperialism and war," say the Communists. "Let us unite in the cause of world peace and social justice." What does it mean? Are the Communists really genuine in their declarations? The truth is simply this: that no - true Christian can co-operate with Communists. Their final goal must always remain the same, viz., the universal establishment of a godless and a classless society. Communism is really a religion. Marx is its Allah, and Lenin is his prophet. Atheism is the basis of Communism —it is the "Rock" upon which it is founded. The Common Front

tics: Transforming imperialist ‘var into civil war." In other words, "anti-war" to the Communist means simply "pro-civil war"—just that and no more. Commenting on a "World Youth Anti-War Congress," held in Paris in 1933, the English "Daily Worker" concludes with a trumpet-call to class war: "The delegates go home with the conviction that the best way to fight war is . . . by unceasing fight against the boss-class in their own country"—that is, by civil war, since Lenin has made it perfectly clear that when a Communist says "fight," he means fighting: "Our programme is a blood-soaked reality; our fighting preparations are for world revolution, for the conquest of the world on a wide scale . . . the fiercest and most merciless war." (Lenin, "Left Wing Communism," p.p. 10, 61.)
W omen Dupes. A year later, in 1934, t'aris was again the scene of a Women's Congress, held under Communist auspices. The slogan of this Congress was: "Against War and Fascism." We are told that the Paris Women's Congress was moved to tears by the speech of a child delegate who quoted his father's cry. "Long live the World Revolution," adding. "Now we have a Red united front, and soon we shall have a victorious Revolution." Out of the mouth of this child the unveiled truth emerged, a truth so carefully camouflaged by the promoters of the so-called "united front action against war." It is the "Red United Front" that was then in process of being created in all countries under the direction of the most effective propagandists the world has ever known.

satile genius is ever -fresh. and his novels breathe that spirit of Catholic vitality which is unquench. No one has more aptly able. summed up the content of his writing than Father Allan Ross, who says: "The reader will find the personality of the writer stamped upon their pages—his sincerity, his dislike of cant and conventionalism, his mistrust of the feelings as a reliable guide of human conduct, his marvellous imaginative power and dramatic instinct, his keen powers of observation, his hatred of display, And he will his zeal for souls. find, too, in these books the impress of the man of prayer. who recognises that union with God is the supreme work of man in this life." To eyery convert to the Catholic Church, Robert Hugh Benson cannot fail to make a very special appeal for he was himself a convert trom Anglicanism—one of the many distinguished sons of that Communion who found their position in it untenable and who submitted, in all humility, to the authority of the Successor of He was the youngSt. Peter. est son of the Archbishop of Canterbury and was ordained deacon by his father in 1894. Two years !ater saw him in krave doubt—a visit abroad seems to have lent point to his difficulties for he discovered there how little the Anglican Church counted oufside its own well-defined field. To use his own somewhat irreverent simile it "seemed to be something carried about with Englishmen wherever they went, like an in(ha -rubber bath." Then he tried our the religious life and became a probationer in the Community of the Resurrection at Mirfield. But his difficulties were not to he quietened, and ultimately in 1903

he left the Community and in the same year was received into the Catholic Church. In his "Confessions of a Convert" he gave a moving account of the steps which led him to the feet of the Mystical Bride of Christ. Above all he came to realise, to use his own words, "the need of a Teaching Church to preserve and interpret the truths of Christianity t each succeeding generation." And nowhere was that ideal to be found except in the bosom of the Catholic Church in communion with the See of Peter. His Novels. In his historical novels like "Come Rack, Come Rope," and "The King's Achievement." to mention only two out of about half-a-dozen. Benson caught the spirit of the times, particularly that of the grim tragedy of the penal days, with amazing fidelity. The reader feels himself to be a silent spectator of the scene enacted with such dramatic strength in the printed page. Could anything be more intensely expressive, for example. than the final lines of "Come Rack, Come Rope," , where he describes the martyrdom of Robin Audrey, the Papist priest, who died upon Ail Elizabethan gallows for his faith. "He only awoke once again, after the strangling and the darkness had passed. He could see nothing, nor hear, except a heavy murmuring noise, not unpleasant. But there was one last Pain now into which all others had passed, keen and cold like water, and it was about his heart. " TO Christ . . .' he whispered, and so died." In his modernistic novels, many of which treat of his own day and generation, Benson is no less convincing—"The Conventionalists," "A Winnowing," "The Sentimentalists," "None Other Gods," "The Average Man," "Lord of the World," "The Dawn of All" and others. In their subtle exposition of Catholic belief, clearcut and definite, now serious, now whimsical, now satirical, always intimile and real, they are the product of a master mind entrenched deep in the convictiog o f religious strength. ProbabIl the "Lord of the World" and "The Dawn of All" will represent t :,-) many of his readers his most brilliant efforts in this particular field—both are in prophetic vein; the former paints a stark picture of the triumph of materialism, the latter a glowing canvas of the ultimate vindication of the Catholic Faith throughout the world. Incidentally "The Dawn of All," which was written in 1911, has an extraordinarily prophetic reference to the "European War of 1914." This is but an imperfect sketch of Robert Hugh Benson—"Captain in God's Army" as he hag been called—and of his works in the literary field, but if it should have the effect of awakening re' newed interest in both the man and his achievements in these t roublous .days of doubt and un' certainty may it inspire us .to emulate in some measure the domitable courage and ener, which he devoted to the pro gation of the Faith.

The opening item after the interval was the Percussion Band by the juniors Jean Chapman's tap dance proved a popular number and the audience called for a repeat of this item. The (laity,- frocks and sweet voices of the senior girls in a song and tableau. "Alice Blue Gown," held everyone spellbound. An exhibition of the light fantastic toe was given by Miss R Carey.

St. Gertrude's Ex-Collegians' Association Half-Yearly Meeting. flit' half-yearly meeting of the St. Gertrede's Ex-Collegians' Association was held at St. Joseph's Convent, South Perth, on Sunday, November 15. A gond majority of town members Were present and several country centres were represented. Appreciation of the interest shown in the associa tion was expressed during the meeting Country members especially show a keen interest in the activities of the A ssociation, and though unable to at tend some of the functions, do not !ail to acquaint the committee of their interest and good wishes for its welfare. Several junior ex-collegians joined the association during the past twelve months. The social side of the A ssociation has been most Successful. The functions held are always most eniovable and varied. The annual cabaret this year again, proved successful, although it was felt more country members could have been represented. The monthly luncheons are still vesy Popular, and two theatre evenings Proved most enjoyable. A trip to A raleun was arranged in ,Tune, and a bridge party in Tub-.

Achievements as President. Since getting to power in 1932, he has troubled the politicians at He has abolishWestminster. ed the oath of allegiance to the King, and the right of appeal from the Irish Supreme Court to the Privy Council. The Annuities, which were amounts of about 5 million pounds a year paid by Irish farmers as interest and principal on British loans, he has kept in the Free State. Britain replied by keeping Irish cattle, cream and butter out of England, and forced Dev. to change the economic life of the Free State. His aim since Ills been to have fewer ships bringing the goods, and fewer taking away Irishmen to other lands. He has built factories where the cattle, which England will not buy, may be killed off to provide leather and meat-meal industries. Four years ago almost eighty per cent. o f the boots and shoes bought in Ireland were imported. Now, it is very difficult to get the imported article. He has built sugar refineries and has encouraged continental manufacturers to start concerns in Dublin and elsewhere. He has given bounties to farmers to help them sow wheat where before the cattle grazed. Whether this tremendous experiment is successful has yet to be seen. The courage and determination behind it, however, must he admired. This strength, Denis Gwynn, one of Dev's. political opponents, speaks. of in his "Life of de Valera." when he considers de Valera as the President of the League of Nations Assembly in 1932. "In his opening speech," he writes. "he showed rare courage in refusing to accept a readymade oration and in expressing the dissatisfied attitude of most people to Geneva. while his conduct as chairman showed remarkable ability and personal dignity." It was de Valera also win,. a few months ago, sharply insisted that the exiled Emperor of A byssinia should he given every courtesy and the opportunity of stating his case before the League. Would Die For Democracy. On the following day to the Great Powers he made a forceful plea for peace, and a London paper made the comment that once again it was left to Mr. de Valera to state the basic facts of the situation with honesty, sincerity and courage." De Valera deplores \var. To John Gunther he said that if he had b een born a German or a Frenchman he would have devoted his whole life to trying to make peace permanent between France and Germany. He thinks that he Vill never have to take up arms again for Ireland, but he would gladly fight —and die—for democracy. And so we leave the President of the Irish Free State at a m ighty task in his plain office in the Government Buildings. Wc wish him well, because we know t hat he is clinging hard to high ideals, that he is working day after day moved by noble forces of love of God and love of his f ellow -men. He doing what he thinks most of Ireland want him to do His whole life i, dominated by one idea and ideal ' a united, independent Ireland With peace and time he believes he will achieve it. and so do lii people.
In the Mass for this great feast the Church applies to Our Lady the magnificent passage from the.. Book of Wisdom, which is given for the Epistle. The angel's salutation, which we read in the Gospel, sums up all the teaching which tradition has handed down to us on this mystery.

(5he Romance of a Great Irishman De Valera's Twenty Years of Vicissitude A Gifted • Statesman In the English-speaking world there is no Irishman so much talked about, and so much misunderstood, as the Presi nt of the Irish Free State. I have been interested in Mr. de Valera since 1921, when events first made him prominent in Australian newspapers, and my interest has grown with the years, particularly: as of late, I have met Irishmen—I am not Irish myself— who were more or less well informed about him. Most of these spoke very highly of "Dev.," and I recall at least two who bluntly disagreed with his policy. My conclusion is that de Valera is an extraordinary man, a gifted statesman, a natural democrat, and a Christian gentleman. When I think of him I feel stronger, and the lines of Longfellow which I learnt at school come to my mind :— Livt..: of great men all remind us, We can make our lives sublime, And departing leave behind us, Font-prints on the sands of time,"

He hid in Manchester, and after a month or so made his way, with some difficulty, across to Dublin. Here he made history. An Irish Parliament had been elected the previous December.

His indifference to the pettiness that. ruins many statesmen, the incorruptibility of his public and private life, have contributed to his strength. We are sundered from him by a 'hole world of outlook, yet with the deepest sincerity we welcome him home. President de Valera enjoys the respect of his fellow citizens." Mr. John Gunther. an English journalist, for the July number of the "Strand Magazine" wrote an interesting sketch of Dey. In a pregnant sentence he thus describes. him: "His personal traits are clearly marked: rigid selfcontrol, fanati faith in his duty to Ireland; extreme seriousness of mind; complete unworldliness; a certain didacticism stubbornness; humanity." No writer that I know has questioned the moral integrity of de Valera. All have commended his obvious simplicity of life, his downright honesty, his utter sincerity in labouring for a happy Ireland, and his unswerving loyalty to his Catholic faith.

Dangers of Debate In the recent finals of the "A" Grade competition of the Debating League of Western Australia, the issue at stake was: "That the Spanish Rebellion is justified." That the negating team won What is of interest, however, is the way in is unimportant. which the issue was summed up. It began with the gratuitous a ssumption that the Spanish Nationalists were in "rebellion," i.e., That opposing by force of arms something admittedly lawful. prejudicieg effectually anyhow or was an unfair tactic, calculated the minds both of the adjudicator and the general public. Further, the participants on both sides were preponderatingly Catholic. It is not clear that Catholics have any right to sustain the negative proposition in such a matter where the mind of the Church has been unequivocally declared. It is, of course, contended that the views expressed are not in the nature of personal Although this might excuse the individual debater, convictions. it does not remove the ugly certainty of scandal and the poisoning of the public mind on an issue vital to Christianity. There is a real and imminent danger for Catholics in this matter of debating. Nor is it overcome by any appeal to the practice A Catholic is as an art, when in reality it is become an artifice. no more excused from denying or compromising the Catholic attitude on the public platform than he is from participating in blasphemous or anti-Christian propaganda on the theatre boards. There is something essentially foreign to the Catholic spirit about debating solely for debating's sake, about the dialectician's delight in his ability to score over an opponent. It is quite another matter to engage in controversy, which is not only justified, but often urgently called forth by some occasion when truth is to be served. The Church, especially since the Reformation, has been nobly Such men as Bellarmine, Canisius, served by Her apologists. Newman, and in our day the lay apologist's, .have triumphantly served truth through controversy, but have been guided by the principle formulated by St. Ignatius: "Let no one contend with another as to whom should appear the greater, but that the truth should prevail." Not alone from a Christian viewpoint. but from a commonsense outlook, it is irrational to defend a thesis in which one does not believe. It militates against the nature of the human intellect which strives t9wards truth. It is a-practice which, berzets casuisBut greater than its intry, insincerity, and intellectual pride. dividual effects is its pernicious influence on the people at large. Catholics have every reason to be disedified at the spectacle of Catholics upholding the Red savagery in Spain. It might be pertinently inquired why so much polemical talent were not devoted to serving the cause of Catholic Action in a Catholic .Evmence Guild or in taking the public platform in the Catholic cause in such a serious issue as the Spanish Civil War. The effects of the debaters' compromise on non-Catholics it is difficult to gauge. But there must he some who conclude that Catholics have not that white-heat flame for truth that they instinctively expect It would not be a lamentable thing if the debating arena was conspicuously clear of Catholics. .-111.411.-11 -41110.-41.111.-111111.--411111.-00

When they contrasted the congestion of the building which. until now was used as a school, with the spaciousness and brightness of that new building; the disabilities and drawbacks tinder which the Sisters, for so many Years were obliged to labour. with the future scope now afforded them for efficient educational work, he was sure they would rejoice with him that, for their sakes and the children's sakes, that new building had been erected. He congratulated their pastor. Rev. Father Finneean. and his energetic Church Committee, and the good and generous 'people of the district for having built a school worthy of the district —a school that wnuld he in accordance with the exacting modern standards from the point of view of accommodation ventilation. ectrinment and all those other acressores that went to constitute an up. t o-oate primary school.

New Norcia Cricket v. Piawanning.
On Sunday, November ;.its played Piawanning cricket at. the latter's home ground. The match was very uneven, the College being far superior. The College won by 151 runs on the first innings. Piawanning batted first, G. Putnam and F. Thompson being the opening batsmen. The former was soon out to C. Foley. The latter made a very scratchy 19 and together with G. Hay was the only one to reach double figures. The innings closed with the low total of 48. V. Brand and J. Haynes opened for College. Brand was bowled early, but J. Haynes, who joined P. Casey, continued on the work. When these two were out for 30 and 40, respectively, Waugh, accompanied by J. Carmody, increased the score very rapidly. Carmody opened out from the beginning and soon hit two sixes. After a speedy innings of 47 runs, he was bowled by C. Halligan. Waugh, who made 15, w as caught by Essex. The next two batsmen were Foley and Price. Foley hit the ball to the boundary several times, and after hitting a six was obliged to retire. Price was very risky in several of his attempts to raise a six. Campbell, the next batsman, was bowled second ball by Jacobson. Longmore increased the score by 7 runs. Berry then came in but failed to score. Scores: College.

Subiaco
St. Teresa Branch. The usual fortnightly meeting held in the Convent Schoolroom on Wed. nesday, November 25, was attended by a fair number of members, and the half-yearly elections took place. The result was that Bro. Hastie was elected president, Bro. Dore vice-president. Bro. Aitken secretary, Bro. Reen treasurer, Bro. Sharks guardian, and Sr. M. Power warden. The concert organised by the Hibernians in aid of the new school was a great success, and the 10s. note that was raffled and drawn that night was won by Miss Thomas, of Armadale. This branch has withdrawn from debates and other social activities were reported by metropolitan delegates. On Sunday, November 29, members formed a guard of honour for His Grace Archbishop Prendiville, who blessed and opened the new school. St. Joachim's Branch, Victoria Park.

He also informed members that the date fixed for the annual Hibernian picnic was February 28. 1937. The president supported Bro. G Keogh's reports. and also mentioned the newly fixed dates for our next three debates as being an unfortunate circumstance, as the No. 1 team would be unable to keep any of those engagements through such short notice and other pressing demands on the team's time. He thought that some other arrangements could he made, and the secretary was instructed to write the M.S.C. to that effect. Bro. L. Goerke reported on the opening of the new school at Queen's Park, and said that the Hihernians formed a guard of honour for His Grace Dr. Prendiville for the occasion Accounts: Quarterly medical fees were passed for nayment on a motion of Bros.

Your Majesty,—Thank you for your gracious letter, and you will be delighted to hear that all your subjects are deterinined to honour your reign and make it a memorable.one by getting the Thousand by the end of December. Something very strange happened on Wednesday, Your Majesty. I r eceived a typed note from nowhere with 15s. enclosed, on which was written: "7/6 from Queen Nancy and 7/6 from Ex-Queen Sue for Dom Bosco." I rang up Uncle Luke straight away as it looked like his fifteen shillings, and there was a strong perfume of cigar. ettes about the money, too, but he said he wasn't guilty, though perhaps Aunty Eileen had stolen it out of his Sunday trousers pocket when he wasn't looking. I told him that Dom Bosco had been financed for his "Fiver" and asked him could I give it to St. Clement Hofbauer, and you might not believe me, hut he said. "Give it to yourself if you like!" I can't do that. as I'm not eligible for the Litany, so I gave it to St. Clement. I am leaving a very important message with a close relation of mine, and he sure and get U.L. to take you to see her before you go home, and bririg Sue, too, as there will he a message for her as well. I hope you will come top, and all your subjects will be. proud. Cheerio. little Queen, and if we get the £1,000 on December 31, I will send n telegram to Cue on New Year's Day AUNT BESSY. 32 Mount-street, Perth.

making up her and every best wish for the success of your Appeal. C AMELIA. Dear Camelia,—You are good to have given a help on to a saint whom I love very much, and about whose financing I am so anxious that I found myself saying at the Sixth Station the other day, "You might do something about your own Fiver, St. Veronica!" Maybe she took notice. AUNT BESSY. Near the Corner Where the Tram Stops. Ma Chere Tante,—I must certainly call for that coffee. At what hour of the day or night is it on the tap? ( At no hour. monsieur, the only thing our family keeps on the tap is the hose.) On that occasion there will be nothing to stop you putting what you, will into niv cup, not e . en excepting inspiration. I have even made a practice of picking up information oore how, and when I can. "The Record" with its list of Blessed contains yet another clue to your identity, for people who have eyes to read and inquisitiveness to delve into hagiology. And whatever happens to such as a result of their curiosity serves them right. Do you agree? (I'd have to know a little more of what is in your mind before committing myself, thank you.) —Still rapturously, THE STRANGER WITHIN THE GATES. •
Dom Bosco, and I would like to know who you are' I left a lady's shop once very hurriedly after listening to the proprietor saying she knew but was told not to tell. I shall send you something to raffle later. ANOTHER VICTIM. Dear Victim,—I never think the Angel of Death comes to us when we are so weakened in health as to have to lay low, no more than I think he remains away when we have decided to "live and fight it out on earth,'' for life and death belong to Him whose messengers the angels are, and it is not recorded of any one that his strong will kept him alive once Almighty God had decreed him to die. All the more power to your inclination to live and tight it out, though, but I always feel I'll respond and run at the very first invitation. 1 du admire you for leaving that shop in a hurry. One of the most dangerous baits that can be used towards making our curiosity catch on is for the one who wields it to say he knows but has been told not to tell, and don't you ever be caught. The one who knows most is generally the one who sings dumb altogether. Dom Bosco was made financial before his first appearance in our Litany, so have given your donation to the hon our of the saint who performed an heroic act of charity to Our Lord's Holy Face when Ile was the Victim for us all. AUNT BESSY.

Grandmother is better now and she's always saying her Rosary. I hope you get that Thousand for the Bushies. Love from FRANK WALSH Dear Frank,—Tony and you could not have found it too hard to till that card when the pennies were all on the spot, and please tell Daddy and .Citure my I am very obliged to them, as well as to my two small soldiers. I wonder would someone say a decade sometimes for the Thousand between this and the end of December, as pray. ers are as necessary as pennies and pounds, and 1 would be very thankful for them • . . you ask her! AUNT BESSY. Tarin Rock. Dear Aunt Bessy,—Mummy is holding my hand while I write this to you, as I want to send you something to help your Bushies. I cannot go to school yet, because it is too far for me to ride. Aunty is sending you some threepenny bits for the Lemonade Bottle, and I hope it gets full, Love from Dorothy and Joe and, JOHN NAlSBITT.

Dear Aunt Bessy,-1 am sending the (sou, ant m oney, and 1 hope the. aisnies nave a happy Christmas. 1 took Our Lady's part in our Xmas story, and i had a long white veil and blue mantle. Roma Marquis was the A ngel Gabriel, and she looked lovely with white wings and a silver crowm. and a lily in her hand. Peter is five onths old and is coming on well. Give my love to Sandy and lots to ourself, and I will write after the holi. days. Ta ta. MARY GEORKE. Dear Mary,—A little black crow told me that your Xmas story was simply lovely, and I would have given my two eyes to see it, only Sandy said "what's the use of doing that, for then you'd have no eyes to see anything with," so i thought I'd better keep my eyes and offer it up. Thank you now for all you have done for me-during the year, and I wish you a most thrilling holiday and plenty of ice cream. AUNT BESSY. Doolette Estate, Mardella.

READING FOR THE HOME
About this time the Saviour was minded to go up to Jerusalem for the approaching festival The Gospel does not season. mention this cerebration by name; but the most ancient Fathers looked upon it as being the second Passover in the Ministry of Jesus, and we entirely coincide with their conclusions. It was to be the last in which He could take part without hazard of His life; and so He interrupted His mission in Galilee, joined company with one of the caravans of Pilgrims, and ascended with them to the Holy City. He went thither in obedience to the commands of His Father, that He might once again offer His ungrateful city the Salvation which they had disdained; and so His first thought now, as it had ever been, was to seek out the desolate and distressed that He might comfort and relieve them.

He was so lonely and desolate, his hopes had been disappointed so many times, that the wretched fellow was quite cast down and discouraged. Jesus perceived him lying upon the ground, and knowing that he had been ill for such a long time was filled with pity for him. "Do you wish to he cured?" He said to him. The paralytic scarcely grasped the meaning of this question; but he felt that it was a compassionate offer from a Stranger, who would perhaps be willing to aid him at the favourable moment. "Sir," he said, "I have no one to carry me to the pool when the water is troubled, and the moment I reach there another goes down ahead of me." "Arise!" said Jesus; "take up your bed, and walk." Instantly the poor creature arose, caught up the mat on which he was lying, swung it over his shoulders, and started to walk.
