001 or-ivlary immaculate. East Fremantle 9 t,
The feast of our glorious Queen. Mary Immaculate, was celebrated very impressively at the Convent School, King-street, East Fremantle. last TuesThe Holy Mass was day morning. celebrated at oight o'clock by the Rev. and during it Father Kenny, nineteen young souls Teceiyed into their innocent hearts, for the first time, Nine their loved Lord and King. white little maidens, robed in long frocks, and ten small boys, wearing cream suits, symbolic of their innocence. made an impressive picture. During the Holy Mass the school choir rendered some very appropriate hymns. and the singing was not only The devotional. also sweet, but thanksgiving after Mass was made publicly by the happy children, whose prayers of praise and petition appealed to the large congregation present, and tears were shed by not a few. A s the school is placed under the patronage of Our Lady by, bearing her title, Mary Immaculate, a very devotional ceremony followed the conclusion of Mass and thanksgiving, namely, the crowning of the Queen of Angels and of Men. The large statue of Our Lady had been removed from its place
in the Sanctuary and placed under a canopy of moss, roses, and lights, the last named arranged so as to form the letter "M." children The nineteen privileged wended their way in procession to the statue, while the choir sang "Immaculate." The hymn "Bring Flowers of the Rarest" was sung, and at the words " 0 Mary, we crown thee with blossoms to-day," one of the senior pupils stepped forward and placed an exquisite crown of the choicest pink roses upon the head of our heavenly Mother. Rey. Father Kenny then consecrated all present to Mary, and no doubt to many minds came the words: "How can we love thy Son, Sweet Mother, If we love not thee?" The Rev. Father addressed the First Communicants in the following manner: Nly dear children, I must congratulate you on the happy privilege which has been yours this morning. You know, Our Blessed Lord loves children, and at all times He sought to gather them round Him. On one occasion He reproved the Apostles for children attempting to prevent the who were trying to approach Him, and He uttered the touching words: "Suffer
the little children to come unto Me, and forbid them not, for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven." Your prayers, my dear children, will certainly be heard to-day, therefore I exhort you to pray for those near and dear to you first of all, then to remember your teachers, who have worked for you. A sk Our Blessed Lady to accompany you through life, to be with you in all the trials and difficulties which may beset your path. Remind her of this day and of your consecration to her. Finally, when death draws near, let us hope that each one of us will be found in the sweet embrace of Our Lord with Mary to welcome us to the Heavenly land for all eternity. The children were then invited to partake of a sumptuous breakfast, or, more truly, a banquet, prepared by the good Sisters and the donations of the A special feafaithful parishioners. ture of the table was a large white cake, with the words 'My First Corn• munion Day" -iced across the top, .a gift of one of the very generous parishioners. The Sisters of St. Joseph desire to thank all those who, in any way, helped to. make the day the success it was.

The police-sergeant in the country village sent for the new recruit and lectured him severely. " You've been in the Force now for twelve months," he said, "and never once have you brought in a case of any kind." The constable hung his head. "Now," the sergeant went on, "I'm willing to give you one more chance. The squire has 'phoned to say that someone is stealing his apples. Go up there to-night and catch the thief." About midnight the waiting constable saw a man slinking along with a sack over his shoulder. He pounced on him, opened the sack,

"Why," protested the old lady, "there wasn't anything wrong with the bird, was there?" "Wrong!" cried Smith. "It was no good at all." "Well, it ought to have been good," said the other.

Whence Such Power
No Inconsistency
Other Possible Cases
Recently Maureen O'Sullivan announced that the Vatican had granted a special dispensation for her marriage to John Farrow, a divorced man.
The Two Protestants are married. husband meets a single Catholic girl. This Catholic girl suggests that the man divorce his Protestant wife, and thinks she can get a dispensation from Rome like John Farrow. What hope has she of doing so?
That is true. But you can be quite sure that this is not inconsistent with the normal laws of the Church. I have a dozen cases on hand of people who want to become Catholics, and whom I could receive into the Church to-morrow if only the Church could annul their first marriages, and sane tion their present unions. But the Church cannot do it because the first mariaees were between baptised Chris. ta; ea . -y en though both parties were Prote,;tants. The Church declares that, if tw, baptised Protestants contract ma;-,- ages were between baptised Christhis. .trel Sacramental marriage wherest-7 It takes place ' And that mar. r iaaa, is binding in Christian law until the -ath of one of the parties. Granted that law, the Catholic Church could pea sanction the divorce and remarriage of such partners, even though they plead that they want to become

r ath,lics.
The Reason Why Why was a special dispensation given in the case of John Farrow? B ecause his first marriage was not the Christian Sacrament of matrimony, and because there were justifying reason, for the annulment of the purely natural bond. John Farrow himself Was a non-Catholic at the time of his first marriage, and his first wife was not a baptised Christian at all. She was a Jewess, who entered into a mere1): natural matrimonial contract with him, such as would exist between any non-Chaistians. ' Later, the two were Some separated by a civil divorce. t WO years ago, however, John Farrow became a Catholic. Meeting a fellow C atholic, Maureen O'Sullivan. he desired to marry her, and submitted his f ormer marriage case to the Diocesan M! atrimonial Court at Los Angeles, asking whether it could he allowed. The Ecclesiastical Court there submitted

None at all. The case is quite d:rferent from that of John Farrow. The two Protestants had contracted Christian marriage bindine until death. There is no need to add that, in t'ois hypothetical case, the _Catholic girl would he guilty of very grave gin in alienating the husband's affections from his lawful wife. What if the couple were not Christians at all. Would the Catholic girl get a dispensation to marry the man if she persuaded him to divorce his wife? As a matter of fact, under the No. circumstances you describe in your letter, such a conspiracy would render any attempted marriage with that man quite invalid in Catholic law, even did the first wife die. This case again is quite different from that of John Farrow. Now let us turn to a fin 4.1 ques. tion on the subject ,sent in by "Re. nart," of Darlington.

trines by giving them a right belief. Never for a moment did He suggest that any belief would do. It is absurd to concentrate upon Christ as the victim for our sins, yet to ignore Him as the Divine Teacher of mankind. He is the Truth, and He taught the Truth. And you can't accept Him as your Saviour, yet reject Him as your Teacher. It is ridiculous to suggest that belief doesn't matter. As a matter of fact, you yourself do not believe that it doesn't matter, or it w ould not worry you in the least that Cathorfcs believe their own Church to be the right one.
Before they can urge that the dis-' pensation shows the power of money carries weight with Rome, they themselves must be able to show that Farrow and Maureen O'Sullivan are moneyed people. and how much of their money they spent in order to secure the dispensation. When people make statements like that, the burden of proving those statements rests upon Christ said nothing about being a Rothem.

An Ex-Catholic Priest

For reasons of filial piety a Catholic could obtain permission to attend the funeral of such a father, and wauld But it commit no sin in doing so. would not be lawful for a Catholic to participate actively in religious rites When these comat the graveside. mence he should withdraw from the assemblage and offer his own Catholic prayers for the repose of his father's Active participation in nonsoul.

Christ Wasn't a Roman Catholic He was a Jew. Therefore why do you consider your Church the right one? Put the same question to yourself in relation to your own position. Christ wasn't a Protestant. He was a Jew. Therefore why are you a Protestant believer? I do not admit, of course, that the question is sensible. It is not. I am only suggesting that, if you think it sensible, you should apply it to yourself and try to think out what your answer would be. Christ died to save sinners, whatever their belief. He died to save sinners; but in addition to dying for them, He insisted on saving them from erroneous doc-

Why do you say that? Is it because he was a Catholic Priest, and you think Catholic Priests are so noble that they would not do what they thought to be wrong? If so, what of the thousands of Catholic Priests who remain where the' are? Or is your opinion based, not on the fact that he was a Catholic priest, but upon the nature of the step he took ? Is it that that you feel he must have taken the right step because You personally think it was the right step? Yet even though you think he did- the right thing, how do you know that he thought he was doing the right thing?
Was He in Good Faith? He certainly thinks dlifferently from
you.
That is not at all certain. His behaviour differs from mine, in so far as he went from the Catholic Church to a Protestant Church, whilst i left a Protestant Church for the 2atho1ic Church. But that does not prove that he thinks differently from me. It is possible, of course, that he has lost the Faith and now thinks Catholicism wrong. But I deny that he thinks Protestantism right. No man with his knowledge could so fly in the face of scripture and history. If a Catholic priest ever does lose his conviction of the truth of Catholicism, you can be quite sure that he has lost his Christian Faith altogether. If he still retains his Christian Faith, he knows that the Catholic Church is the true Church, but just refuses to think of it, and devotes his attention to matters of practical expediency for t' time being.
My Attitude to Protestants Don't you think you go too far in your remarks about Protestants? Most certainly not. In a session devoted to the discussion of religion, it is inevitable that the merits of various religions will be the object of our consideration. Normally speaking Protestantism in general, or some particular form of Protestantism. will be submitted for analysis; but that docs not involve remarks about Protestants. Regular listeners will recall how often I have maintained that people brought up as Protestants are in good faith, and quite sincere in their beliefs. Quite recently, when replying to an atheist, I defended Protestants by saying that far more of them were sincerely trying to live Christian lives, and took
a genuinely spiritual outlook than he thought. t I spoke my opinion like you speak I s yours, I would probably get 12 months gaol. That brings out the difference between our opinions.

Boldest Move in the History of Australian Catholic PETITION OF RIGHTS 1 S.A. IN THE SIXTIES Education A gitation for Catholic Schools in South Australia. I:1 the early sixtir.s, uutli Australia became the chief centre ot C atholic educational unrest. As Ave have seen, Queensland was advancing rapidly under the systematic direction of Bishop Quinn and the Sisters of Mercy; the government helped the parents to support the schools. In Neu South \Vales and Victoria Catholics had their civic rights correspondingly recognised; the agitation against the Board that con-olled them in each State was growing in hostility. The agitation showed that the education of children was a vital one. In South Australia there was No one stagnation. realised this more than the parish clergy, Who were waiting for a leader, He came in God's good time.
(By REV. BROTHER URBAN CORRIGAN, M.A., Dip.Ed.) Brother Corrigan here desc ribes the determined policy of Bishop Geoghegan to defend the Faith through the establishment of Catholic schools. All the oth er States had done so with public assistance, but Governmental opposition forced the South Australian Church to attain in dependence. It meant great sacrifices for the people but the achievement far outweighed the cost.
views. When these teachers are all Protestant, and when they expound and interpret the Authorised Version of the Bible, we may justly regard their schools as Protestant schools; they distinctly foster Protestantism. Such were the public schools of South Australia in the middle of the century.

Where c hurches were available, they w ere used as schools on weekdays. In other places houses were rented (Jr tiny schools , 'ere erected. The teachers were usually young women who had been educated at Convents in Ireland. Like all other teachers similarly placed at the period, they lacked special training, but their efficiency increased with experience until their schools came up to the general level of the State schools. They were maintained by the small fees received from the TIP ents and by the donations of friends. Where the fees fell short of the sum required for rent and salary, the balance was made up from parish funds.

Departure of Bishop Geoghegan. Early in 1862, Bishop Geoghegan decided to_ge. to Rome. His episcopate, though fruitful. had not been happy , nor was his health able to stand the strain of so much worry. His prolonged absence from his diocese had a disastrous effect that he had not c ontemplated. Bishop Quinn, of Brisbane, knew that the strength of a growing educational system demanded all the fostering care of a. resident Bishop; his colleague in Adelaide never adverted to it. He had done grtat work in rousing enthusiasm for the cause and in the beginning the work. After two y ears' absence. the Holy See relieved him of the charge of the A delaide diocese and transferred him to the newly -established bishopric of Goulburn, in N.S.W. He died in Ireland a month after his transfer; the news of his death arrived in Adelaide with the news of his appointment to Goulburn. At the time of his death, South Australia possessed 19 little Catholic schools scattered mainly about Adelaide and its immediate surroundings. The most remote was at Penola. 300 miles to the south-east from which a great light was shortly to rise. •

THE RECORD.
Sir,-It was with astonishment and regret that I read the leading article under the above heading in "The Record- of the 5th. inst. Astonishment that the writer of the article in question should show such a lamentable lack of knowledge of debating in general, the "A" Grade final in particular, and regret that the writer should make such baseless and inaccurate charges and accusations against the winning team. I do not propose to go in to the pros and cons of the matter at issue in the debate itself, as it was stated in the article that the result of the debate was unimportant, but I do propose to reply as briefly as possible to the inaccuracies and baseless accusations. It was stated that the summing up was both unfair and calculated to prejudice the minds of the adjudicatar and the public. In the first place, as leader of the winning team, I deeply resent the suggestion that unfair tactics were usec. I would point out that in summing up the case for the negative, I submitted that the opposition had failed to prove certain things and again challenged them to prove our contentions inaccurate, as I was leading the negating team. The opposition had every opportunity of disproving anything inaccurate that I or my colleagues may have put forward. particularly as the opposition in this case, the affirmative side, had t he final reply. In the second place the suggestion ttat I attempted to prejudice the

As the public had no influence on the result of the debate, there was nothing to gain by prejudicThe most harmful and ing them. damaging accusation is, however, yet to come.

I state most emphatically that not only did I and my colleagues not support Red savagery, but in no uncertain language condemned any bloodshed and savagery, although the results of the Rebellion were not part of the subject The debate was only under debate. concerned with the events prior to and leading up to the Rebellion.

I would, however, like to point out that if it is morally wrong for a Catholic to take part in a debate on the negative side of such a question as "That the Spanish Rebellion is Justified,- then I submit it is just as great a moral wrong for a Catholic lawyer to accept a brief in the Criminal Court to plead on behalf of a thief or a murderer. Does it follow that because a Catholic lawyer defends a thief or a murderer that he believes in stealing or murder and has no faith in the Ten Commandments? Surely not, yet that is a fair analogy. In conclusion, I can only hope that the article in question was written as a result of inaccurate information, rather than personal observations and impressions, and I trust that this letter will serve to clarify the position and remove any doubt in the minds of your readers that some of the prominent young Catholics in Perth took part in any "disedifying spectacle" or violated any Catholic morals.-Yours, etc., J. A. RICHARDSON, Leader Young Labour League "A" Grade Debating Team. The "summing-up" referred to in the said leading article did not refer to the speech of the leader of the Young Labour League team, but to the terms in which the proposition for debate was couched. The effect of such a proposition on the mind of the adjudicater and the general public might be analagous to the effect of a debate on the proposition: "That 17th. Century English Papists Were Disloyal." It should be obvious that the public mind of the last century was as unable to dissociate the idea "Papist" from the association of disloyalty as the modern mind is incapable of correlating the idea -rebel" and "justification." It is of interest also to note that Red savagery did not commence in Spain with the present Civil War. It was rife for at least five years previously. So that a defence of the Spanish Government prior to the Rebellion is equivalent to upholding the acts which it inspired or at least condoned.-Ed.) Sir,-Niuch of the criticism emanating from Catholic journals to-day, while to a large extent just and to the same extent well-informed, betrays a lamentable lack of sympathy for, and understanding of, the ideals and aims f the institutions which it attacks. An example of this is to be found in the leader of your last issue on the dartycr of debating. It is regrettable but perhaps excusable that a critic should make important mistakes on a subject that he does not appear fully to understand. Theoretically the dangers mentioned do e xist, hut practically, in reality they do not. The symbolism of the Western Australian Debating League portrays the flame of truth being borne on the wings of speech. The debates themselves are modelled on the parliamentary debates, where both sides of a case are presented with the idea of allowing the truth to emerge and prevail. hat one side wins does not affect the issue, for it is rarely that one team produces matter a great deal better than the other team's, but rather are the majority of debates won on the presentation of a case, that is, delivery, deportment, general impression, etc. One team scoring an easy victory over the other (and this is rare since the debaters are graded) no -riore influences the min 1 of an intelligent audience than cap talistic propaganda in the press influtoices the minds of labour supporters. One weakness of propaganda is that it is always recognisable, and as suela tegarded with a certain susp:clon. As for a do bater arguing against his convictions, it is largely admitted that a full know. le:ige of the other point of view will help to confirm one's conviction of the truth. A Catholic who is asked to present a case for Communism must necessarily study some aspects of Communism, and if he be an intelligent Catholic, as I take it Catholic debaters are, he will at once recognise the weaknesses of the system that is opposed to his religion. If he he one who only needed a knowledge of Communism to be converted to its doctrine, he would asuredly be converted by means other than debate. It may be objected that a Catholic could and should investigate the doctrine of Communism without going on to a public platform to debate for it. This objection holds, hut it must he admit-1 ter that debating provides an incentive to study for people who would otherwise not go to the. trouble.
P ATRONISE OUR ADVERTISERS
Saturday, December 19, 1936. I find it difficult to believe that anyone with some experience. in debating would claim that the practice of debating was attended with the dangers of insincerity and intellectual pride. I have yet the meet a debater of standing who is not sincere and intellectually honest, I have said that Catholic criticism does not show much sympathy or tolerance for the aims of' others, even when those aims were in themselves good. Perhaps this is because the critics do not properly understand the aims of the people criticised. It can safely be said that a very large majority of debaters enter the various teams, not to exhibit any dialectic skill, or for the sake of scoring over Opponents, but to gain confidence in public speaking: to learn the art of arranging arguments for the proper presentation of a case and to improve their style and manner of speaking. For a similar reason weekly debates are held at the Jesuit Seminary in Watsonia. No one will deny that Catholics need a thorough training in public speaking if they are to take their part in the lay apostolate; but w here and how they can get this training other than in debating remains to me a mystery. Some Catholics, one believes, would like to segregate Catholics from nonCatholics in every sphere of public activity lest they should hear false doctrines or disedify the timid by their conduct -Yours, etc., J. F. S. (The Catholic press has not failed in s ympathy, but has rightly distinguished between deplorable sentimentality and an attachment to fixed principles which is not based on emotion. The note on debating ideals and procedure, while interesting, is scarcely relevant to the issue. It is also one thing to study Communism and another to defend it as hobby or means of social development in public. The dangers of debate are not overcome by personal experiences to the contrary. It is not denied that debate has advantages; it is questionable w hether these outweigh its clatige-: and whether other means, such amateur theatricals, do not accomph-- 1 the same end more effectively as regards diction, deportment, etc. Finally, the weekly debates in a Jesuit seminary only emphasise that many things may be discussed with propriety in the domestic circle which it. is in the nature of disloyalty to mention outside.

Blessing and Opening of St. Mary's, Guildford The Archbishop Officiates and Preaches His Grace Most Rev. Dr. Prendiville, accompanied by the V icar Apostolic of the Kimber- Raible, leys (Rt. Rev. Dr. P.S.M.), and the Rev. Father Gallagher, of Geraldton, blessed and opened the new church of St. Mary in James-street, Guildford, He said on Sunday afternoon. that during the past few weeks he had blessed new churches at Claremont and East Perth. That morning he had laid the foundation stone of a large church, and on Sunday next he would bless the new church-hall at Scarborough and the extensions to the Within a church . at Cottesloe. few weeks he also hoped to perform the same ceremony at churches in Ouairading and Beacons- field. Referring to the Church's c oinmitments for new buildings this year. which amounted to £ 108,000. the Archbishop said
that it might be asked why all that money should be spent in the erection of churches. That question would recall a similar one that was asked at the banquet given to Our Lord at Bethany, when Magdalen annointed I is feet with precious ointments. W hy- all this prodigal waste? Could not this money be applied to beit.:..r purpose in philanthropic \vork,- on behalf of the poor, the a fflicted and the needy? To this he would simply remark that those who were generous to God were not the class who were forgetful or remiss in the discharge of duties to God's poor. But they remembered to take to heart laid w hat Our Lord Himself down so emphatically : that the greatest and first Commandment w as to love .Coml with their whole heart, soul and strength. The erection of those churches did not
spring from the motive of vain display or from a desire to excel; nor did it spring from forgetfulness of the claims and wants of the poor and indigent. It sprang from a full and vivid realisation of what that greatest Commandment implied. It was in obedience to the imperious call of faith, urging them to give ungrip:ging-1y like Magdalen and to their Divine Guest on the altar with the best and most artistic work at their disposal. From the Old Testament they knew how closely God associated Himself with the work of building a temple to His honour at Jerusalem. and how He blessed the labours and the generosity of ' oloinon and his people. He seemed to lay all nations and all nature under tribute for the Nv orthy accomplishment of this sacred undertaking of Solomon's.

They were building temples to the Living God, not so rich in material splendour as that of Solomon, but more dear to Him in as much as they were destined to be the sacred shrines wherein, in very truth, He really dwelt in the Silent Tabernacle. For those churches they were building- were the House ot God, not only in the general sense that in them, as. they believed, the one true Go. would be worshipped in the one true way. but in the very special sense that Our Blessed Lord would take up His abode in the Blessed Sacrament in the Tabernacles of those churches. 'Illus, apart altogether from t he glory and honour the-_, were. gi v ing to God—glory and honour t hat were demanded of them— hey were helping to relieve unemployment and were in no way forgetful of their obligations to t he poor, sick and needy, as the S t. Vincent de Paul Societies, the ht spitals. orphanages and home for the aged went to prove. Nothing was too costly, no sacrifice too great, where the glory and honour of God were concerned, said the - Archbistiop. And indeed, from a material point of view, there was no waste. Employment was being afforded t o those who otherwise would be out of employment. In the Archdiocese of Perth alone they were :pending a large amount of money in the building of churches, schools and hospitals. and in doing so they were giving- employment. whether directly or indirectly, to hundreds of workers. The blessing of the new Church o f St. Mary had brought them together that Sunday. Hitherto, the building that was used as a s chool had also been use,1 as a c hurch. From many points of view the arrangement was not satisfactory and when His Grace had appealed to Father O'Gorman . and his faithful people to build a new church, worthy of Guildford, and Nvorthy of the faith of its people. he•knew full w ell that they would respond w illingly and generously. He c ongratulated Father O'Gorman and his energetic Church Committee and all of them on being r esponsible for the erection of t hat church to the glory of Go. and in honour of His Immacti-late Mother. His Grace thought all were agreed it was very beautiful and devotional and even though not large, was sufficient for the needs r .,f the Catholics of the district To Mr. Vincent Riley- . :_he de signer and contractor, he was more than grateful. Considering the splendid work he had done and the beautiful church he had given them for £2,20C, tht s incere thanks of all were due. tc him. Dr. Raible congratulated the A rchbishop on the wonderful progress, as represented by the new buildings in the Archdiocese. And other speakers were Mr. Alex. Clydesdale. M.L.C.. who dwelt on the value of being brought up in a religious atmosphere. and congratulated the people of Guildford on the beautiful c hurch which they had erected, The Mayor of Guildford thankea Father O'Gorman and the Catholicsof the town for adding the new church, which was an acquisition to the town. £468 was c ollected.

McNamara took the part of the Prince and Master John Meehan acted as Carl the huntsman. Other prominent parts were taken by the Seven Dwarfs, Forest Girls, Woodman, Elves and Fairies. Between the changing scenes of the operetta duets and trios were played and dainty little Yvonne Teague gave an exhibition dance. Immediately after the final scene, Father Byrne addressed the audience. He congratulated the children on their splendid display. "The way in which they acted, spoke and sang was evidence,- said he, "of their creditable training." In conclusion, he congratulated the Sisters and all those who had worked so earnestly and so well to bring the concert to a happy climax. A fter the concert the most popular man of the season arrived. As Father Xmas entered the hall all eyes were turned in his direction, and he approached the Xmas tree amid loud and presents The prolonged cheering. were distributed by this very kind gentleman and soon an empty Xmas tree indicated the close of a very happy event. The Sisters wish to express their gratitude and appreciation to all who helped to produce such a singularly popular little musical drama, but in particular they desire to thank Miss J essie Noonan. who was responsible for putting on of the operetta and whose untiring efforts during the past few weeks were in no small way answerA able for its outstanding success. and appreciation i.pecial word of thanks is also tendered to Mr. Bredahl and Mr. Sam Reynolds, for the beautifor ful decoration and scenery and their invaluable help in preparing the :.tage for the different scenes.

However, I am trusting The Sacred Heart and all my readers, so we will see what the end of the month brings. Congratulations to the newly confirmed, especially to Margaret for her choice of names, for I knew a little girl once upon a time that used nearly take blue fits because she thought she had been christened Mary Anne.

A Sabbath Walk Through the Fields. As we proceed hereafter, we shall find .the hatred of the princes of Israel evermore pursuing and annoying the Saviour. Everywhere—along the roads, in the fields, and in the wilderness, even when He seemed to be alone with His disciples—He was shadowed by spies who were stirring up the crown against Him. From the first day, we find traces of this persecution.

Some Pharisees who were following the little band had no mind to let such an infraction of their Rules pass unnoticed. They approached the Saviour, and said to Him: "Look! your disciples are doing that which is not allowed upon the Sabbath day.." The Apostles Defended.
