their own field of enquiry with a strictly scientific frame of mind, forget all their own scientific principles when they branch off into philosophy and religion. The first law for a scientist is "Make sure of your facts.", To urge in favour of a new theory that the Christian heaven would be unbearable without having any idea of Christian teaching about heaven is absurd. Heaven is "eternally fixed" in so far as it is a permanent as opposed to a temBut to imagine porary happiness. that, because it is permanent, it must consist of a never-ending monotonous passivity, is ludicrous. It is a fallacy to judge of eternity in terms of time. And it is a greater fallacy to judge of heavenly occupations and joys in the light of earthly pleasure in finite and created things which are too trivial for the human soul and must begin to pall That is why people sooner or later, seek change, and think that there can be no real happiness without constant change—even, nowadays, to the changing of -wives in many cases. This attitude is clue to loss of faith in the spiritual and supernatural, with a consequent adoption of a merely materialYet whilst they have istic outlook. come to think only in terms of materialism, men are quite confident that they understand the Christian heaven despite the fact that it cannot be interpreted in terms of materialism. And Sir William Crookes is no exception, despite his dabbling in Spiritualism with a childish joy in its materialisations

Manjimup Convent School Concert A Pleasing Performance Once more the annual concert of the pupils of St. Joseph's Convent School attracted a full attendance at Manjimup Hall on Thursday, December 19. A long programme of charming items was presented and each effort received it mead of applause. The dresses were responsible for a munber of pretty scenes, and in this connection it was e vident that the parents of the children had worked long and painstakingly. On behalf of the Sisters, Mr. J. H Noonan thanked those present for their support, the parents of the children for their valuable work in preparing the costumes, and also Miss Neta Iluegge, a former pupil, who had again it to the assistance of her old school in acting as accompaniste. as she had for a number of years past. The Programme. The first part opened with a pleasing rendering of Scotch airs by Ella Chatley, Joy Waterfield, and P. Bamkin as a trio on the piano, together with three boys, E. Sherwood, R. Pittendrigh and II. Noonan with violins., The charming operetta, "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," was nicely staged and well received by the audience. The leading parts were ably taken by Maureen Cole (Snow White), Mary Liddelow (the Queen), and Bill Anderson (the Prince), As the seven dwarfs, John Ilithersay, Jim Payntor, Ross Wilson, W. Sheridan, T. O'Brien, lock Anderson, and J. Powell, were quaint and amusing. Smaller parts were filled by Pat O'Sullivan (Carl, the (Rose), huntsman), Val Leonard ilithersay (Daffodil), P. Young (Violet), P. Sheridan (train bearer). The rest of the pupils appeared as the forest children. Interpolated items were violin solos by Bay Pittendrigh ("In a Monastery Garden"). - and Eugene Sherwood (Gavotte"), both of which won applause. In the second part the senier girls presented a song in character entitled "Wise and Foolish Virgins." in a scene Peggy which was generally admie '

A descriptive song entitled "The Circus Came to Town," by the boys, and introducing a comic elephant, caused a good deal of laughter. An enjoyable item was a pianoforte solo. "La Fileuse," by Miss N'eta whose music had Buegge, been appreciated by the Convent concert audienre fur seven or eight Years past. Perhaps the most favoured item en the programme was the gymnastic display by the boys. under the direction of Father Cunningham.

Murder With a High Sounding Name. Parliament recently decided whether England was to legally recognise euthanasia. or -"easy death." The following resolution was passed by the Executive Committee of the Catholic Young 'Men's Society of Great Britain at its meeting held in Liverpool, in reference to the Euthanasia Bill: "In the name of all who believe in God, we protest against the Bill, now before the House of Lords, for the legalising of what is called Euthanasia. Doctors to Decide. "1. The Bill imposes an intolerable responsibility on the members of the medical profession. on NV110111 it will fall to decide that certain cases are incurable. "2. It is grossly unfair to accept the consent of a patient whose judgment must be impaired bv severe pain. "3. It is in direct opposition to the gratefully accepted mission of doctors, whose duty is; to save life, not to destroy. "Above all, Euthanasia is a violation of the moral law and an offensive interference with the ineiolable rights of God, which no atnount of sympathy with human suffering can over -ride. "Legalised Murder." "Despite its high-sonnfling name. Euthanasia is legalised murder, and all who value the sacrednes's of human life most oppose it with all their strength."

Cardinal's Denunciation of Salengro Detractors France has 'wen moved by the dignified and eloquent words of Cardinal Lienart, Bishop of the City of which M. Saleng-ro was Mayor. "A Press which ,_Tecialises iii slander is it ,,t Christian" . . "Politics do not justify everything- -. . . "the Church refuses to associate herself with attacks upt at persons- . . With these words the Cardinal has condemned the methods by which the campaign against the Minister of the Interior has been conducted. The Cardinal's words have been reprinted in "Osservatore Romano." which comments at length upon the tragedy. The following is the complete text of Cardinal Lienart's prOni tuncement : "The tragic suicide of M. R oger Salengro, Mayor of Lille, Depute and Minister of the Interior. has provoked a lively emotion in all hearts; ours .cannot remain indifferent. " We feel the greatest sorrow in the face of the act by which, under the empire of moral suffering, a soul, forgetting the law of God, has voluntarily thrown itself into eternity. "The thought that defamatory and passionate attacks have had their N'eight in determining him to this act fills us with grief. "In the presence of this open t omb, we feel it to be our duty to recall once again the fact that politics d.t not justify everything: that calumny or even s candal-tnongering are faults which God condemns, and that one has not the right to make use of all means in order to at tau t one's ends. "A Press which specialises in slander is not Christian. We repudiate it in the name of Him who has told us to love even our e nemies, to do zood to those who persecute us. and WIto, even on the Cross. prayed to His Father to forgive His executioners. "The Catholic Church, for lien part, remains faithful to that law of charity: if she fights on the moral field .which is her own. those doctrines in which she discerns errors harmful to the good of man or society, she refuses to associate herself with the attacks= upon persons in which she seo souls redeemed IA V Christ's blood. "Placing ourselves above the oassions which smother noble s entiments in .ittr hearts and b linds our minds, we weep with those who weep and Imo those who oray." ' SOMETHING WORTH SEEING:.

Taking the Sting out of Death Euphemisms and Morticians. Dr. Robert Morris has completed his fiftieth year as a successful surgeon. His life ll ts been continually at the door of death. His comment on the subject is naturally interesting. "I hate funerals, and Nvould not :It tend my own if it could be avoided; but it is well for every man to stop once in a while to think of what sort of a collection of mot.rners he is training for his final event." This is typical reaction from a thorough going American. Death is not a pleasant thing to et-Jr:template. After all, it ends forever the appreciation of material monuments and human ties. Sunsets. sonatas, beautiful days. the running laughter of little children. the pleasure of happy days are violently brought to a close: and it is extremely distressing to the lords of the world who control nearly everything except the time and place of their own demise. So a convention of enterprising undertakers have decided to take the sting out of death by ;nrrounding the dread event with euphemisms. Their bnsiness, it seemed, depended on their technique in picking up the broken pieces of their clientele's hearts. So henceforth there would he no mention of death. It was too brutally true to say, "Your hitrband died. He will be buried tomorrow in such and such a cemetery." Rather say about the undertaking laboratory that it is "the room of preparation," the next room to the right. "the slumber chamber." the wake itself in the "room of rest," the procession to the cemetery. "the goin7 home." It was all calculated to heat down the spectre of death. Also many of the relatives of the deceased consider the body and the soul just mechanisms which explode into nothingness at the grave. To feel this about a friend or lowed one is a frightful thing w hich should be avoided as deftly as possible. it was found. however, that the fact of death is one issue which can not he side-steppe.! : and the only trethod which solves the sorrow of its coming was the possession of faith in life everlasting. With faith, not even the thotizht of death could shake the Christian heart. •If no faith existed, life to anyone was an inanyway. complexity soluble which death only intensified. A shrug of the shoulders and a wave of the hand would necessarily be the extent of stich a one's philn,nntiv.

The Strength of the Church and Local Problems It would seem, at times, that there is too much complacency among Catholics over the numerical strength of Catholicism. There is a tendency approaching vulgarity to guage the working of the Holy Spirit with a conservative eye on the latest census returns. It should be a sobering reflection that the compilation of world Catholic statistics is based on the assumption that all of France and Mexico is Catholic and includes every Spaniard at present engaged in the war against France. Even when we refer enthusiastically to the "second spring" in Englatul, and to the 12,000 converts who annually enter the Church there, it must not be overlooked that the leakage must be very serious when in the Archdiocese of Westminster alone Z5 per cent.. of the Catholic children attend State schools. In Australia, where the Church is well advanced in certain material aspects, the Catholic proportion of the population has dropped from one-fifth to one-sixth. Many reasons can be adduced in explanation—immigration from non-Catholic countries, mixed marriages, Communist progress during depression years. etc. Be that as it may, what counter-attack are Catholics preparing to re-consolidate their position? To many it seems that Western civilisation is doomed, that European culture will go down into the dust with Babylon, Greece and Rome. So the eyes of many, saddened with the decline of the West. are looking with hope to the East, where the seeds of a new Christian civilisation are being sown. This perhaps explains the puzzling fact, why such a country as Australia, herself in the missionary stage. should send so many of her priests to aid in the conversion of the East when there are obviously such great and urgent labours at home. And of all our domestic difficultios none appears so pressing and so imperative of solution as the position of Catholics in the bush. There has always been an essential interdependence between rural life and the Catholic Faith. Catholicism has found nowhere so lasting a dwelling as in the rude homes of the Catholic peasantries. The eminent scientist. Pasteur. envied the faith of the Breton peasant. Yet, agriculture in this vast continent, has its own peculiar difficulties which make close settlement_ and the establishment of a peasantry well nigh impossible. It is particularly the children who stand to suffer in the isolation of the Australian bush. It should be a matter of some pride that at least a partial solution to these national difficulties. derived from the lead given in this State by the Busbies' Scheme. This includes the religious instruction of. children by post. holiday camps of instruction during the summer vacation, and the re-mailing of Catholic literature to isolated families. Quite recently a movement on similar lines was inaugurated in Victoria. and made a- Commonwealth concern. It commenced with the advantages of a large staff and two nuns devoted exclusively to the work. At present 23,000 children in five States receive their religious education under its aegis. Although our local operations arc not conducted on such a large scale, the end of 1936 showed remarkable progress. when over £1.000 were subscribed towards the scheme. It has been the privilege of the Catholic Press in this State to have been intimately associated with the Scheme ,ince its inauguration. They provide in many instances the sole links between the isolated bush population and the Church. Of particular encouragement to the Scheme and its many supporte6 is the practical interest which His Grace the Archbishop continues to take in it: functioning and development. On the 24th. inst.. the Archbishop will visit the Religious Holiday Schools in Harvey and Pinjarra. and will administer the Sacrament of Confirmation to the children. It is to be hoped that Catholics generally, while becoming increasingly conscious of their missionary obligations. will not forget that these should begin at home.
Via Vaticana
The work of providing a new approach to Saint Peter's Square of the Vatican is proceeding rapidly. In this. as in other efforts, Premier Mussolini has shown his interest in the moral and cultural value of the Vatican. which now ranks as an independent State within the confines of the Italian capital. The approach to the magnificent Square of St. Peter's had hitherto been blocked by uns4htly buildings and narrow roadways, so that it was impossible to grasp the full beauty of the Piazza at a distance. Now this is all being rectified by a decree of the Dictator, commanding the demolition of a whole block of houses between forgo Vecchio and Borgo Nuovo, fronting the Square. Mussolini himself personallv inaugurated the undertaking last month, wielding the pick to deliver the first blow to the first house to be demolished, in the presence of the Governor of Rome and high Vatican officials. It is expected that the )1CAV approach will be completed shortly, when the Premier will declare open the new Via Vaticana.

Stalemate in Spain
The long drawn out struggle for Madrid and the failure of General Franco's army to clinch his victory, has caused quite a surprise to intelligent obseryer,:. it is obvious that the opposition has been streng-thened considerihly from the outside, and that foreign nations are un(ifficialls taking sides in the Civil War It now admitted by the countries concerned that vast supplies of arms and ammunition have lwen supplied to the Reds by privatemunition firms and that profiteering in armaments is being availed o f -unscrupulously. That the man power of either army is much increased by foreign soldiery does not seem likely, but the supply of arms is a much more deciding factor in modern warfare where arms are nu 're important than the man. The fate of Spain is still very nticertain and the recent entry of Germans- into the syar zone ma\ vet make Spain the cock-pit (if F..urope. Some interesting facts about the constitutional power of the s o-called Rebels have recently come to light. They show that the R ed Government of Madrid may be a Constitutional Government technically. but not in reality. The last election in Spain was in February, 1936, when the Left won by a peculiar proportional representation method of counting votes. Out of a total of nine and a half million votes cast. the parties of the Right voted nearly five million, or about half a in votes more than the party returned to power. This being the truth, it is difficult for the most ardent Red sympathiser to be moved by the claim that what is being witnessed in Spain is a military junta of adventurers. Obviously the majority of the Spanish people is on the side of the junta. Only 0 few week s ago the London "Times" quoted with approval the Italian Ambassador's statement that Franco's cause was supported by the firm tvill of the Spanish population in the larger part of Spanish territory- It looks, however, as if outside influence is now being brought to bear to settle the internal policy of the country.
Pius, Patron ot Science
tin F ela-uar) o item. Ifit iormai inauguration ceremony of the recently constituted Pontifical Academy of Sciences will take place at Rome. That date—ii the Holy Father be spared--will mark the fifteenth anniversary of his election to the Pontificate, and was chosen, as the Holy Fattier himself has stated, because t he progress of human sciences is so dear to his heart. The Acadetny aims to promote the stedy lo science through the voluntary co-operation of its members. It is destined to be a scientific Senate of the Church, to which the Holy Father has nominated seventy members from among tlw outstanding scholars of different nations in the fields of the sciences---men whose worth is recoe nised because of the impartiality of their publications in the cause o f truth. Tlie are those who do not hesitate to sav that true science leads. prepares and directs s(mls to the Truth. The new Academy is a reconstruction of the old Academy oi Sciences founded as far back as 1603. It has been reformed by many Popes in the course of its history. In the early years of his Pontificate the present Holy Father established its headquarters on a site in the Vatican Gardens. so that he would more readily be able to keep in touch with its labours and to give to its members the encouragement of his interest. Now His Holiness has instituted a radical reform of the Acadetny in accordance with the rieeds of the time. The members of the old Academy —known as the Academy Dei Nuoyi Liocei—retain their titles as honorary or ordinary members of the new. • • uf tile seventy members constituting the new Academy the majority are Catholic. but there are also some famous non-Catholic names. The reason for this is obvious, for Science, when it is a true knowledge of things, is never in conflict with the truths of the Christian Faith. On the contrary, scientific research opens the way to the defence of the deposit of faith entrusted to the Church. The Academicians include thirty-nine Italians, six Americans , bye Frenchmen. h ve Belgians. four IJutchmen, three Englishmen. two Austrians, and one each from Czecho-Slovakia. Portugal, Aroentine. China, Poland. Denmark and Norway. These include such famous Italian names as the Marchese Marconi awl General Nobile. and such honorar members as the heads of Pontifical Scientific Institutes, and three Cardinals. Father Gemelli, 0.F.M., the Rector of the Catholic University of Milan ,is the President of the Academy. Among the English speaking- members, three are nominated from England and six from the United States. Of the British representatives two are non -Catholics—Lord Rutherfor d, Professor of Physics at Cambridge and a native of New Zealand, and Sir Charles Sherrington, retired Oxford Professor. The Catholic representatis e is Protessor Edmund Whittaker, of Edinbergit University ---a former Royal Astronomer of Ireland and a recent convert to the Church. He was already a corresponding- member of the old Academy. Of the six American members, three are Catholics —Dr. Alexis Carrel, of the Rockefeller Institute, New York: Dr. George Sperti. Director of the Thomistic Institute of the University of Ohio: and Hugh So+tt-Tavlor. Professor I)i Chemistry at the Princeton University. The non-Catholics are Dr. Birkhoff, of Harvard, and Drs. Millikan and Morgan, of the Californian Institute of Technology. From these distinguished men of science the H* Father asks nothing but that they continue in their worthy aims and noble efforts to show forth the true harmony that exists between the Church and Science.

He died in 1Rg4, and left property. then ‘•altobri at £234,000. The %yin provided for pecuniary legacies to his brother .other persons, and institutions in Ballarat. amounting to £18,800.

He will certainly have a tremendous struggle to consolidate these reforms, but if conviction and firm will will count for anything, we may be sure that progress will come out nf this insurrection." PRESIDENT AZANA. How He Lost the Faith. W hat manner of man is Senor Azana. President of Spain, and in large measure responsible for the moral and material havoc that has been wrought there? In politics he is a Liberal, which in Spain means anti-Catholic. He has a reputation as a writer. The "Bombay Examiner" discussed him thus in a recent issue: Azana's primary education was directed by the Fathers of the Pious Schools, and from them he went for five years as an "intern" student to the Augustinian College at the Escorial. Having won a scholarship for study abroad he proceeded to Paris, where he studied law for four years at the Sorbonne. There he became hypnotised by the orks of Renal', and fascinated by the ideals of the XVIII. Century revolutionaries. Returning to Spain he became a journalist. He was for several years president of a literary club, the Madrid Ateneo, which has been described as a "nest of Freemasons" passing under the name of Freethinkers.

Grand Final of the 1936 Appeal L1058/17/3 REALISED My Dear Grown-ups and Little Children,— In beginning my letter to you I am helped by the reflection that among those of you who have attained to mature years there must have come friends and occasions in your lives when you have not easily been able to give adequate expression to the love or gratitude such called for, and with a feeling of like inadequacy I will endeavour to say My say to all of you
now.
I suppose all during last year we all thought it was worth our while to do what we tried to do for our Busbies, otherwise nothing would have been attempted and nothing achieved. Placing myself in your midst this week, I can say with loving thanks to God that we still think it was worth our while to have done what we have done, and we are glad to have achieved what we attempted, because it was all done for Him first and then for the souls Are they not your precious to Him. Surely sentiments, in Cornerites? In an age when there is such yes! devilish evidence of strong united effort to oust God from the place He, has held in men's minds since the first man came from His Holy Breath, surely it is worth all that is in us of strength ,of talent, of love, to make the faith that by His grace is already in us. live also lo His grace in the souls of those who are yet weak in how nobly the knowledge of Him. vim haye done your parts towards achieving this is evidenced in the splendid result of last year's Appeal for You have passed your our Bushies. highest Test with honours, for I shall not again place so high an Objective before you, and from my heart I beg Almighty God not to let one of you be the poorer for what you have given to the funds this year that has gone. To His Grace the Archbishop I owe m y first and most respectful thanks for, besides being indebted to His Grace for the £130 which enabled me to begin t he "Fiver campaign," and the E5 which closed it, I was encouraged to t ry for the £1.000 because of the letter which he wrote on behalf of "The Busbies'. at the beginning of last year, in which he told us he would give the Busbies' Scheme the benefit of the Good Friday collection, and lastly, in which he was gracious enough to ask you to support my pleadings. Therefore. although the Good Friday collection ic in no way (Inc to the Page, I have Rey Dr. McMahon's permission t o include it in the grand total, for I only fixed the Objective at £1,000 because I understood it would form part of the year's takings, and I know that many among you gave more freely to it because you felt you were oiving towards our combined eff, A fter His Grace, my thanks are due to "The Record" and its benign controllers, for giving me space ad lib., and indulgent forbearance with what must have often been a seat of work for those most nearly concerned in its setting up. I refer to my weekly three page& and though, like the Rower in the desert. I have often blushed unseen when addressing my "copy" to the Editor every Monday morning, if an avalanche of strong language had suddenly spent its fore upon me I could not blame my poor "Playing Percy" or "Arthur of .the chivalrous heart.- for they would have been justified in the use of their tonStill, it all went for the. sucgues. cess of the Appeal, and so I hope they will take some credit to themselves while waiting for the angels to give them the full measure on the day of
ings to Mary's Babe. Think not that He will be unmindful, for in proportion as I am helpless to recompense you He is powerful, and He who has instilled the virtue or sentiment of gratitude into human nature must be Gratitude I tself. I think it would be very hard to find another hand of grown-ups and children quite like your own good selves, and because I am the closest witness of the spirit that has animated each of your offerings I am sure I can justly say that you are the reason, and the principal reason for the blessings I feel have come to this part of the work for the Busbies Some of you are rich,
Out of the total of £1,058 17s 3d, £862 17s 3d has come direct to me. My expenditure amounts to £47 us 4d, the details of which, together with the Busbies' ledger will be presented to Rev, Dr. McMahon with the full balance of £815 5s lid, on the feast of the Kings, D.V. That was the birthday of one who loved the Bushies' Scheme—His Grace Archbishop Clime I R.I.P./. and I hope he will be able te look down on what was so dear to his shepherd's heart and find that the interest in God's lambs is more keen and more loving than ever. I will have a novena of Masses offered for you all during the month of January, and will give you nine of my own Holy Communions just as soon as I can offer them for your intentico — for the rest I can only pray that each of you will understand my personal sense of obligation to each.—Your grateful.

What about your "big intention," Ted? Has it faded away with the last year, and is your eighteen-year-old mind considering things in another direction?

Among the innumerable murders committed by the Communists in Spain one of the most deplorable is that of Senor A.laeztu. This man was one of the very first thinkers in Europe. The late Mr. Orage, who had a perfect flair for genius in every department of letters, spotted him years ago and secured his services (as he did those of so many firstrate men of his time) for the New Age. Maeztu's philosophy \vas that of a group of pioneers throughout Europe. who thought their way back to tradition out of the so-called "liberal" blind-alley of the nineteenth century. The whole of his work was sheer thinking. There was not from beginning to end—and it continued for many' years—any trace of emotional or rhetorical appeal. He was not even what is called "nationalist." As this great thinker had been led to rediscover. religion he was murdered like all the rest without form of trial. It is one of the bewildering problems of our bewildering time that such murders should be called "executions" in our press. especially that part of it which is proud of its humanitarian doctrine. It was used only the other day for the brutal murder of three ladies, the sisters of a foreign diplomat in Madrid. They were kidnapped and done to death—with the connivance of course of N'hat calls itself "the Government" in Madrid—but that does not make it any the less a murder or any more an execution. No one calls the massacres in Paris of September. 1792. "executions." Such ambiguities are peculiar to our day SAVE MONEY on Stoves, Coppers, Baths, Bath Heaters, and repairs to all Stoves. W.A.
