The Grail Acquires Theosophical Temple SYDNEY AMPHITHEATRE TO BECOME CONVENT Strange Story of Order of Star of the East
;0 a messagc r eceived from Sydney last week, the amphiheatre built by the Order of the tai ot the East on Balmoral ,each, Sydney, has been put.diased by the Australian Catholic Association, and will be used as the Mother House in Australia by the Ladies ot the Grail. Strange Superstition. l'he building of the Temple u as one of the must curious regous ever undertaken in Australia. It was built k v one, Dr. Mary Rocke, for the tr,ler of the Stai of the East :did a Theosophical organisation. I t was located on Balmoral Beach, opposite the Sydney Heads, because the adherents of the sect believed that the second coming of Christ was imminent ii(1 that He would come, walk: ,g over the waters of the Harbour. into their temple. Hence it was built in the form of an amphitheatre to enable the faithful to witness the Second Corning. Disbanding of the Order. A voting Indian. Krisn Amur1. whom the Theosophists claim-
ed as the Messiah, was meanwhile being educated in London. W hen the time was at hand, however, for his coming, he calmly announced that, although he had a divine message for the world, he stood in no need of human agencies to assist him in its propagation. So the Order of the Star of the East was disbanded and the temple fell into disuse. Fashionable Religion. Prior to this disruption, however, Dr. Rocke, who had built t he amphitheatre, was travelling to England to obtain funds to complete the building. She died on the voyage. But Theosophy had become the mode among a number of Sydney wealthy citizens, and so gullible with pseudomysticism is the modern world, that people were actually induced to take out leases of seats in the amphitheatre over a period of 25 years. Those in the front row were leased at a £100 each, and those in the three back rows at 110 each. An Alleged "Vision." According to the report in the "Daily News" the purchase of
the Temple for the Grail came about through the dream (latcr "the vision-) of a woman member of the Order of the Star of t he East, who said she had seen a group of nuns praying and then an Archbishop standing with the nuns looking at the amphitheatre. Chili was by way of a delicate suggestion that the funds of heosophy were low, and the Lemple more ornamental than useful. A Real Temple. is the strange play ot circumstance that this building which was the centre for the propagation of the odd hotchpotch of Indian philosophy (called Theosophy) will now become a Catholic Convent, which will radiate Catholic culture and Apostolic activity. The amphitheatre will probably be employed by the Ladies of the Grail as a theatre for the production of those religious plays which have had such success abroad and which mark the revival of Catholic culture.

"The Church Must Take the Blame" Ubique, Strathfield. You say that the Church should not bear the odium connected with individuals who err. I say that it is no argument against the truth of the Catholic religion that Catholics, and even officials at times, fail to observe its precepts. I cannot accept the analogy of Judas as he did not continue to preach Christ's doctrine after betraying Him, and his fellow Apostles did not condone his act. Y our last two points do not affect the value of the analogy. The whole point of the analogy lies in the fact that the bad behaviour of Judas was a violation of the teachings of Christ, and therefore no indication that those teachings were evil. Had Judas gone on preaching Christ's doctrine that w ould have been no argument against Christ's doctrine. Truth is not less tinth because preached by a bad man who makes no effort to live up to it. Nor would it be an argument against Christ's doctrine had the other Apostles eendoned tl4e treachery of Judas in betraying Christ. For Christ's doctrim, would not have bidden them to sanctisai evil. It would be they who w ould also have failed to be true • the principle's of Christ. So, too, t he t 'atholic religion is true. Nothing in its teachings can be used to sanet v il. If those professing the Cagion do wrong, they are to
Why Did She Tolerate Abuses? If the Church is not to share the odium, why were not erring individuals disciplined, the Church having far more temporal pceaer in those days? in v previous reply to you I point. .1 eut that, in those days, means of c, ,terriunication were not nearly so adac nowadays. Many abuses rer.lained undenouneed to the proper On the other hand, when ahusts were denounced, many of the :ieliyiduals responsible were disciplin• If abuses were known, and high r officials took no notice, it was either because those officials wished to avoid reater evils still which their interference might provoke, or because they. t oo, were guilty of a neglect of duty. But whatever the possibilities, the blame must rest with unfaithful offi, irIs d the Catholic religion, not with t he re:igion they served so badly. e
Consider Richelieu! Why was not Richelieu disowned immediately he started on his infamous career? W t. cannot say that the -career of R ahtitee was infamous_ acct/n1It he did some !.h:ngs hay,. been If he was not ret h, :u the m. \et c.,uld ha ve been, !

And the Inquisition! I was surprised by your justification of the Inquisition. I itistified it as a tribunal set up to discipline unworthy members of the htir ch and traitors against the State. But I pointed out that I did not justify abuses of power by some of its officials. Torture was one of its main activities for the treatment of both State offenders sad heretics. Torture was not one of its main activitiec Nor was corporal punishment employed as a penalty of heresy as such. In so far as a heretic was also an offender against the State, he was subject to State penalties. I cannot go more deeply into this question now. hut it is evident that you are not fully informed on the subject of the nquisition and its historical setting. I
The' clerks on the Inquisition knew that Christ never intended heretics to be treated like that. It is certain that the treatment of heresy was not as you imagine it to have been. But granting, for the sake of argument, that the clerics did behave in an unchristian way, the fact remains that their conduct was not in accordance with their Catholic religion and they therefore deserve censure, not the Church they unworthily represented in such conduct. Now the balance of your letter goes on in the same strain, and I must omit much of it. What I have said so far should provide you with the answer to all that you have written. However, I will take two further statements which need treatment.
Christians Should Blush! All through history Catholics and Protestants have given their followers today cause to blush for the cruelties perpetrated in the name of Christian. ity. That is an unreasonable statement. Nothing really done in the name of Christianity can give anyone cause to Mush. That many evil deeds have been done by professing Christians throughout the ages I know. But it is unfair to dish up all the misdeeds of professing Christians_ in the past, and t reat them as if they were the natural fruit of Christianity. And it is still more unfair to think that I must share in the responsibility of all the mistakes and follies and crimes committed in past history by people who professed the same religion as myself. I blame them as heartily as You do. Were I guilty of the same things, you could blame me. But there is no argument in all this agaie-• 'Thristianity or the t 'atholic .Chfircl.
Prejudice Looks Back Can you blame people to-day for wondering if our spiritual leaders have lost touch with the original precepts of Christianity when we look back over the years? Y eS. I can, and I do. The only reasonable judgment as to whether our . present spiritual leaders have lost touch with the original precepts of Christianity must be formed from a study of those original precepts and of the conduct of our present spiritual leaders. You can't conclude that present spiritual leaders have lost touch with Christian precepts because some past spiritual leaders violated them. When vou speak of "looking back over the years,- remember that you have over 1900 years' history of a Church comprised of human beings. It is a v ast field to choose from. Good will be found in it mixed with the bad: and had will be found in it mixed with the good. But prejudice is blind to anything which favours the Catholic- Church. It searches for any evil it mav find in the pages of past history, •Ind itidges the Catholic Church on t .and trotnti its present merits. Precnt cni7ittial leaders are to he judged c c things in which they had no sa-
R UMB LEms.c The Catholic Church is to be condemned on deeds which were not the fruit of her principles. And very often the past evil deeds of professing C atholics are practically taken for granted, no allowance being made for the imperfection of records ,no effort being made to get back to the prevailing atmosphere of the times so as t o view things in their right perspective, and no care taken to avoid surmising motives without warrant.
A Reasonable Test Instead of 'looking back over the y ears," a man should look at the Catholic religion in itself, and ask whether that religion works evil effects when practised in his own time and surroundings. I can assure you that it does not. If you got the gift of the Catholic Faith, it would be your introduction to the fulness of Christian truth. ,And if, having be. come a Catholic, you lived right up to your religion, no one in the world would be able to fault you whatever he might find to say about other Catholics, past or present, who are a discredit to the religion they did not allow to influence them as they should have done. I do not write as en opponent tilting at a champion of the Catholic Church, but I think one can never cease learning. I accept v' me assurance of that. And I hope you have learned something from my replies. Above all I hope I have helped you to realise that there is necessarily, a human element in a Church composed of human beings: that human nature is very frail: that bad conduct does not necessarily argue to a wrong belief: and that a Church is not responsible for the sins even of its own members who have to violate its teachings in order to TTImit them. * .
Telling God the Better Way ' Delta," Sydney: Would it not have been better for God to have waited until this present time to reveal His Plans and carry out the redemption? You can be quite sure that, despite all human speculations, that is the better thing which God actually chose to do. Jesus would have come into a world equipped with wireless and, by means of press and other publicity, would have had a fairer field for His
story.
Your suggestion of greater natural means at His disposal in these times would have had little appeal for Christ. Although He could have had them. He deliberately deprived Himself even of t he natural means of His own time. And He did this precisely to show that :Tic work was of God Natural human wisdom would have suggested the entry of the Son of God into this world as a magnificent personage, with s triking eclat. and vast resources of earthly wealth. But instead of being born in a palaee. He was born in a stable: instead of hon-air and renown, • ; ;

tion; instead of choosing wealth, He chose poverty. To human prudence it seems the road to failure. Had you a desire to establish a world-wide religion. and had the choice of means, you would have chosen just the opposite path as being likely to lead to success. But the more ill-advised you declare the means adopted by Jesus, the greater the tribute you pay to His work. Would not this have been a better scheme from God's point of view? We gain no idea as to what is better from God's point of view by dwelling upon It hat might seem to be better fr,,ni ,c lee rely human point of view.
Wrong Time For the Inca+ nation In other words, why was this message put into the world at such an apparently unpropitious time? The time of Christ was not fore unpropitious than to-day. No time w ould be more propitious than another on the score that natural means are more readily and abundantly at hand, You see we are dealing with a supernatural, not a natural religion. l'afth in the teachings of Christ cannot be arrived at by any man's own unaided efforts. The grace, of God is required, giving a supernatural and spiritual enlightenment to the mind. so Jesus Himself said, when the Jews refused to believe Him, "No man can come to Me unless the Father draw him.And St. Paul rightly says, "The natural man does not perceive those things which are of the spirit of God.If men could see the works that Jesus did, and hear the words that He said, yet not believe, I don't see how other men would be any better off if they heard a description of His words by "Radio" as they occurred, or heard His words from loudspeakers in their homes. Radio and press publicity would not necessarily have improved matters. Meantime, the printed Gospels are within the reach of all. Of those who take the trouble to read them. some believe, and some do not.
Should Not Revelation be Credible ? Why was God's revelation given ia such an apparently confused man-
ner?
If it. was not too confused for simple fishermen of Palestine to appre• hend, it cannot be called confused. It is simultaneously deep and profound, yet essentially simple The summary of the teaching of the Apostles Is contained in the Apostles' Creed. You may or ntay not believe them, but you cannot call the propositions in that Creed obscure or intricate. I n brief, if there was a revelation, was it not the business of God to have made that revelation credible? We cannot speak of the -business of Goer as if He owed any obligati ns at all to men in this matter. He was free to give a revelation or not; and, if He chose to give it, He was free to give it in any way He m ight please. A t the same time, it is certain that if He asks its to believe any doctrines be' arise He has revealed them, He will take means to render credible the t that it is Ile who is revea'olg t hose doctrines. It does not lock as though He made the fact of His revelation credible, The:- .• is than enough evidence as to the credibility of the fact for any reasonable man. A study of the Person and character of Christ, of His works and teachings, and of the r ioarch He established, shows that it is quite reasonable to accept the Catholic religion as being of God, and to 'see faith in the contents of that religion.
Why Opposition and Prejudice ? Why is religion the "one" thing in which. according ecclesiastics, to men deliberately set themselves against truth? I'eave never heard that ectiesiaste religion to be the "one" thing in which men deliberately set theiri,

selves against the truth. - Men deliberately set themselves against the truth in dozens of things. However, I am willing to admit that their opposition to the truth is particularly in evidence where religion is concerned. And that because the more truth a given form of religion contains, the more op. posed that religion will be to their own corrupt natures. And they don't like that. It appears to me that people are ready to believe almost anything, so why don't they lap up your religion? Because my religion doesn't cater for people ready to believe "almost anything." It demands that they believe a very definite something to the exclusion of many things which human nature might find more pleasant and comfortable. Why is there "animosity" against your religion? You admit the animosity, but you apparently think that it argues to something wrong with the religion. In reality it is because there is something wrong with the people who experience the animosity. I will allow that much of it is based on almost invincible prejudice. That is a generous concession. But why should this prejudice be? Why should God's truth (as you believe it) incur such hostility? Of one thing you can be certain. It is not because it is "not" God's truth. In fact, we can go further. It is preciqely be-4 -au-se it "is" God's truth.

I deny that they want salvation as They we Christians understand it. world's thirst for panaceas of this goods and bodily comforts and pleasures, without concomitant penalties.

And the end in view being wrong, they naturally shy off from the means to Rejecting the superthe right end. natural end or destiny which God offers, they propose another end to be attained independently of Him.

BENEDICTION (By J. P. GLESON, S.J.) Catholics are very familial with the ceremony of Benediction; as a devotion among th? - faithful it has a universal appeal, but little is generally known of the origin .of the service or of its place in our official Catholic litUrgy.
In various countries, the prqctice of Benediction assumes different forms, but the underlying sentiments are always the same. They consist in an external expression of love, reverence and devotion to Our Divine Lor-i as Benedicour Eucharist guest. tion afternoons or evenings may be looked upon as an "At Home." provided by Our Lord when He welcomes all His friends around the Tabernacle and appears vi,;iby before them to receive their love and homage, and to give them His special blessing. In some places Benediction is often made use of as a conclusion to other services, for example. Vespers, the Stations of the Cross or a mission sermon. Although this quite regularly occurs in our own country, we are more accustomtd to look upon Benediction as a rite in itself, lit independent ceremony. As such there are various regulations to be observed in the practice. The giving of the blessing, the singing of the "Tantum Ergo," and the use of incense and wax candles are of universal obligation In Rome, the blessing and th,! "Tantum Ergo" are alone regarded as strictly liturgical—and consequenty the celebrant enters the sanctuary only just before the "Tantum Ergo" is sung, the Blessed Sacrament haying been In our cht.t already exposed. ches. the celebrant enters early and the devotion begins only when he has opened the tabernacle and expi)sed the Blessed Sacrament to the accompaniment of another hymn. usually Besides "0 Salutaris Hostia." services. elaborate more these there is a simplet: form of Bent'• The priest. wearing diction. may merely op -1i stole. and cotta the tabernacle door, and. aftcr prayers and hymns. bless the faithful with the veiled ciborium. It was not until the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries that special devotion began to be attached to the expisition of the Blessed Sacrameni in the churches and during processions. It was during these Years that thelevation of the Host immediattlv after Consecration was added the Mass. Thei! to the rubrics the faithful gradually developed the desire to venerate and pray before the exposed Host.

This, part seems to have followed from another practice according to which the priest was accustomed to turn round and bless the people before replacing the Blessed Sacrament in the tabernacle after a procession or after It had been carried to the sick. \ Ve ate also accustomed at our Benediction to recite after the Priest the DiN inc Praises, "BlessThis ed be God," and so on. practice is the most recent introduction into the service—and the praises are designed as reparation to Gcid for the blasphemies of impious men.

They were hard-headed rather tlin hard-hearted; they did not estimate aright the value of poverty of spirit against the comfort of an assured Government salary. The Bishop's Return. It is necessary to keep•a few salient, features in mind to follow the trend of subsequent events. The painful incidents of Holy Week in 1870 had so upset Father Woods that he became very seriously ill, and after months of sickness, he left Adelaide in August. It was thought that a holiday in Victoria and New South Wales would rebuild him. Mother Mary was away in Oueensland. and those who w ere opposed to them were in full control of the diocese. Bishop Shiel returned in January, 1871. to find his diocese gravely in debt. his priests dissatisfied. his schools attacked, and his people divided. Mother Mary returned the following month, but by orders from Father Woods. N'as kept away from the Mother House. The Bishop. spurred on by the complaints of his clergy about the incompetence of the Sisters, made a personal examnat ion of several of their schools. He w as sufficiently pleased to write a pastoral in approval of their work and to recommend them to his people. Only four months after his return he could send to Propaganda, May. 1871. a report 'of progress that would satisfy the zeal. of any Bishop. Progress. "There are ixtv-five Catholic schools in the I)iocese under episcopal supervision alone, and in no way inte,rfered with by the GOVerninClit or Cs snnected with its educational system. "There are about sixty Sisters of St. Joseph engaged in teaching in various parts of the Diocese .and twenty-six religious, half of whom are candidates in the novitiate or parent house. "Of the Catholic schools, thirty-five are under the Sisters of St. Joseph, with an average of t wo Sisters in each school, but where two sclulols are de.pendent on one convent. one Sister is able to conduct small schools. .

"The present Catholic population of the Diocese is supposed to be about 25,000 or 30,000." (Moran, p. 527-530.) This 'ecclesiastical development could justly be a source of pride to any Bishop in a diocese that was barely a quarter of a century' old. The educational development had been phenomenal. Only ten years before had Bishop Geoghegan appealed to the people to build and support Catholic schools for CathoAnd in a decade lic children. they had established sixty-five schools among a very scattered population of 30.000 people. And though the credit must be shared among the priests who founded and developed schools, the lion's share must go to Father Woods. whose special duty it was to foster Catholic education. 111111111111111,11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

AHERN'S Annual SUMMER
St. Joseph's Orphanage and Foundling Home. No greater testimony could be given of the esteem in which the Sisters of Mercy are held than that manifested on Sunday, November 29, on the occasion of "Gift Sunday.' at St. Joseph's Orphanage and Foundling Home; nor does any other work in our Catholic community call for greater recognition and demand greater respect than that carried on, year in and year out, in those hallowed buildings, set in such beautiful surroundings on the hill overlooking Monger's Lake. Would that it were possible to establish in full measure the State's debt to these institutions for the Sisters' noble and self-sacrificing work. This year's function was attended by His G' race Dr- Prendiville, by most of the metropolitan clergy, and by an unusually large number of friends and w ell-wishers. Motor cars and charabancs bore their passengers in hundreds to the scene of to those an appeal by the Sisters anxious to assist them by gifts and contributions. • And what 'a gala day it was for the children, from girls in their teens to tiny tots wondering why every day was not like this day, Their curiosity aroused at the sight of a crowd such as some had never seen before, they appreciated to the full this, their annual Some sitting on lawn or garlevee. innocently with den seat chatting acquaintances, others friends and showing the way to enquirers through kindergarten and school room: others again encircling their big brothers from Clontarf and listening with enraptured attention to the tuneful airs dispensed, while many preferred the numerous stalk displaying refreshments. Nor were the sights and attractions peculiar to the children alone, Many had come appreciating the appeal made by the Sisters on behalf of the children, and resolved to play a small part in alleviating their burden, a t times bordering on distress. Others, paving their first visit, find the institutions a revelation,: the nursery, cosily cradled, and fitted with cotnortable bassinettes, the kindergarten beautifully decorated with illustrations nursery of rhymes, and liberally furnished with toys; the dormitories, delightfully airy They marvel and spotlessly clean. all the more when informed that the same love and care are lavished by the Sisters on all inmates of the Foundling Home and Orphanage, irrespective of race, colour or creed. Gift Sunday of 1936 surpassed all previous functions of its kind in the patronage given it. For this .the Rev. Mother and Sisters sincerely tender their grateful thanks to those who acted as collectors and to the lady helpers who, one and all, worked so untiringly through'out the afternoon; to those who added so much to the pleasantness of the a fternoon by providing musical entertainment. and to all who by generous contributions in cash and kind so very materially assisted in lightening the burden of providing for God's own little ones in St. _Joseph's Orphanage and Foundling Home.

Reconstruction of our Social System THE CHRISTIAN CORPORATIVE STATE By JOHN JEFFERS.)

"A Period of Grace." W e all realise that we have a brief period of grace in which to develop a sound economy. The seven millions here cannot monopolise Australia much longer, and in the next military uproar it is quite feasible that Japan will take over the Dutch East Indies and the stocking of Australia with Javanese land users would he a proposition we would have to accept. There are about 35 milions of them perched on an area half the size of Victoria. So though the Christian corporative state may sound drastic, it is possible of achievement and does offer a means to a sound economy. It is suitable to Australian temperament and conditions, which party political parliaments and bureaucracy can never be.

Einstein Knows No Philosophy Eleven yrars after the First Thomist Congress, the second one met lately in Rome. In these days when thinking is despised and replaced by such vague ideas as feeling, emotion, urge, force, following a leader. an international congress of Catholic philosophy takes on a very special importance, for man will let himself be guided for a short time by inferior motives, but, since he cannot prevent himself being a rational animal, he must sooner or later return to the standard of the intellect which sees what is. -To-day the Church almost alone respects that standard. and she almost alone, therefore, is a safe guide even for the least religious-minded.

The Second Thomist Congress Thus it was not surprising to see the Thomist Congress attended by a large number of brilliant thinkers, such as Maritain. Garrigou-Lagrange, Padre Gemelli. Mgr. Noel, Mgr. Ogiati, etc., etc. Modern Philosophers Not Despised. • Opening the Congress. Cardinal T,aurenti showed how St. Thomas had given satisfactory. or at least sufficient, answers to the problems arising out of the relations between philosophy and religion, on the one hand, and between it and science, on the other. Pere Rover followed this by demonstrating that truth could not change and hence there was nothing to he surprised at in the fact that St. Thomas had remained a master of thought through the changing centuries. Catholic philosophy did not reject what had been worked out since his day, but rather took on all that was true in subsequent philosophies, since it alone possessed the true system into which fur their developments of human thought could be fitted, incorporated and made valuable. Maritain. A very large audience greeted Jacques Maritain when he spoke on ph ilnsoh v aml science. Einstein and the "School (II V ienna," he said. "had perfectly responded to the aspiration of modern science. lint they completely misunderstood philosophy.
For them intelligence was but the witness, the moderator, in a scientific work that went on in another sphere. It merely restated the results of research through the senses and instruments of measurement according to the rules of "mathematical and logical syntax." A t a later stage of the proceedings, Pere Garrigou-Lagrange discussed the relations between Philosophy and Religion. He quoted the words of M. Brunschvig- to the effect that philosophy and religion accuse one another of being utopias, whereas the worst utopia would be to allow their different plans to be confounded. There were two kinds of Catholic philosophers, he said, the ones who defended the Christian spirit of the Christian philosophy and those who preserved the rational value of philosophy. in fact Christian philosophy was not merely negatively Christian simply because its object is Christian. but Christian in itself through and through. opposin g mere rationalism and fideism. Papal Memories. Tile Congress ended with an audience with the Pope, in which he stated: "If all the particles of truth are like pieces of gold. what can he t he worth of that truth, the highest one, which vim cultivate and serve :- " Later the Holy Father recalled with pleasure that it was at the hands of the Pontifical A cademy of St. Thomas, which had organised this congress, that he himself had received his Doctorate of Philosophy in 1882.

SCHOOL-CHURCH AT
Sunday last, January 17, was a red-letter day in Gwelup. To even a casual observer it was apparent that something unusual was taking place. People in large numbers, many in motor cars, many in trucks and some even on foot, were hurrying from all directions to the lofty plateau that overlooks Lake Gwelup. A Day of Rejoicing. Sunday for the local residents was a day of joy. At last a building had been erected and was to be blessed by His Grace the Archbishop in which Holy Mass would be offered up on Sunday in their midst. The Building Is a school-church—a church on Sunday and a school on the week day. It is built throughout of pressed bricks. The main hall is 77ft. x 27ft., with parapet gables surmounted by pressed cement crosses of modified Cross of Cong design. On either end is a porch, 14ft. x 14ft., also with parapet gables and surmounted by pressed cement crosses. One of these porches will serve as a little sanctuary and is cut off from the main hall by folding doors. The building is hollow, ceiled up to the apex with celetex. The site consists of almost nine acres and is undoubtedly one of the finest in the metropolitan area. From it one can obtain a fine view for miles of the surrounding country. There in the distance. 74 miles away— stands out plainly over the treetops: the roof of the Good Shepherd Convent and beyond it one can easily pick out the pine plantation of King's Park.

In his difficulty he turned to St. Theresa, the Little Flower, for help. From that day to this she has not failed us. In her own quiet "little way" she has done her work well. She brought the children in gratifying numbers every Saturday to the Sisters, who came out from St. Mary's.

His Grace Speaks to His People. His Grace said it gave him great pleasure indeed to be with them that morning. He desired to congratulate them on the fine property that was theirs. It did not belong to Father Moloney nor even to himself—it was theirs, and would be used exclusively in their interests. It would be used for Mass on Sunday and for school on week days. Mass would be celebrated there again on Sunday, February 14. and he hoped by March to arrange for Mass to be offered every fortnight. School would be opened by the Sisters of Mercy on Monday, February 1. and they could rest assured that their children would receive an education there second to none in the State. His Grace then went on to speak of the obligation of Catholic parents to send their children to Catholic schools. His Grace then told them of their Patroness, of the wonders she had already done, how she h ad been made Patroness of the Missions throughout the world by His Holiness the Pope. He hoped and prayed that she would shower down blessings on the good people of Guelup. Finally, he desired to thank Messrs. Berry Bros. They had given them wonderful value for the outlay. and in this case, as in all cases, they had done their work well. His Grace concluded his long and eloquent address by imparting to us his blessing. Mr. W. E. Slattery, partner in the firm of Messrs.

GWELUP Annual Teachers' Conference A NEW 'SYLLABUS. On Tuesday, January 26, the Conference of Teachers in our diocesan schools will open at Loreto Convent, Adelaide Terrace, at 9.30 a.m. The aim of this year's meeting is to revise the programme in Christan Doctrine. To that responsible undertaking the teachers of religion in every class from Kindergarten to Leaving are requested to co-operate. After the opening session the teachers will form discussion groups. To do this eff ectively each teacher is requested to bring to the conference:1. A copy of the programme of work prescribed for the classes he or she teaches. 2. The text-books in use. 3. Any teacher's reference book that has been found helpful. 4. A note-book to summarise the discussions, and to record any suggestion that may be helpful. In this, our first duty, let us pool our treasures, and help each other in every way. In the opening address, Dr. McMahon will speak on the school's responsibility in the serious matter of leakage. How far does our teaching of religion contribute to that problem? Can we minimise our share in it by looking on the teaching of religion from a higher spiritual point of view? What are the w eak spots in our equipment? During the second part of Tuesday's meeting, Dr. McMahon will outline the procedure w hich each group will follow in their discussions. Headings have already appeared in "The Record," and copies have been sent to different communities. These headings are intended to provoke discussion among the teachers. Papers will be read by members of different communities, short papers. allowing plenty of time for discussion. The writers of these papers will be sadly disappointed if their suggestions are taken as read, and not discussed. We thank the writers for the f ollowing papers 1. "Religion in the Infant School (5 to 8)." by Sacred Heart Convent. Highgate Hill. 2. "Religion During the Middle Years (8 to 12)," by St. Brigid's. West Perth. 3. "Teaching of Catechism ( from 8 to 12 years)." by Convent of Mercy. Victoria Square. 4. "Religion During the Junior Years (12 to 16 years)." by Loreto Convent, Swanbourne. 5. "Religion for the Leaving Classes" (two papers, one from K algoorlie, and one from Perth, by the Christian Brothers. A t the conclusion of Tuesday morning's session, there will be a demonstration by the younger ,-hildren of Loreto Convent, Adelaide Terrace, on teaching the Mass. The Conference will be held on the forenoons of Tuesday, W ednesday .and Thursday. from 9 30 to 10.30 and from 11 to 12. On Thursday afternoon there will be a river trip on the " Zephyr." leaving Barrack -street a t p m.. calling at Claremont and Fremantle. The boat has been donated hy Sir T. G. Molloy, K.S.G.

The Chesterton Club What It Is and What It Aims to Be The Chesterton Club was f ounded on July 31. 1935, when a group of Catholics in this city met to consider how the Catholic laity might be induced to take a more active part in the work of the Church and how various plans for Catholic Action might be effected and financed. The name "Chesterton" was adopted because it seemed to s ymbolise all that is best in the modern aspect of the Catholic Crusade. It stands moreover for the Christian freelance, who does not bind himself to any specific labour of Catholic Action, but who endeavours to prepare himself for the lay apostolate in such a way that he may be ready and willing to devote his time, energy and talents to whatever works appear at hand and in the order of their urgency. This group is further called a Club by way of stressing the informal nature of its meetings and methods. It aims to induce its members to work for the Catholic cause through the Catholic spirit rather than through the impersonal ob-.: ligation entailed by a rigid con. stitution. The function of the Chesterton Club, then, in so far as its freelancing and informal nature allows of definition, is dedicated t o every form of Catholic Action, but especially to those of an intellectual and cultural nature. liefore any effective apostolic \\ (Irk can be accomplished either among Catholics or non-Catholic from intellectual or cultural grounds, it is essential that the members of the Chesterton Club themselves be informed on Catholic teaching and imbued with Here is the Catholic spirit. k nowledge and culture. A commencement has already been made towards effecting these two preparatory objectives t hrough the Study Circles, of which four at present function wider its aegis. Other methods are the lectures and discussion which characterise the meetings of the Chesterton Club. But the study and discussion of Catholic matters is at present t reatly obstructed through the want of reference works. So, t he Chesterton Club has included among its immediate activities the re-organisation and extension of the existing Catholic Central Library. known as the Veritas Library.

By way of supplementing the financial resources of the Veritas Library a second-hand bookshop was opened by the Chesterton Club at 36 Pier-street. .,No persi mai profits are made from this venture. but surplus revenue is devoted to the improvement and enlargement of the Catholic Library. The present and immediate aims of the Chesterton Club may therefore be summarised in logical order as: (a)) The building up of a general second-hand book business to supplement financially-(b) The Veritas Library. with special regard towards maklng it an indispensabe centre of Catholic reference for.

THE RECORD
While the British Government and must European Powcrs are laudably aiming at a complete cessation of foreign intervention in Spain to prevent an extension of the conflict beyond the Spanish borders, and while Italy and Germany are mainly accused of such a step, it is interesting to note that both these countries are less guilty than Russia and France. There can be no doubt about it, that Russian propaganda was in the first instance responsible for the interference which originated the Civil War, and in this it was solidly supported by the extreme Socialistic elements in France. Further sympathy was shown by these two countries in supplying ammunition and food to the Reds during the course of the conflict.

National Temperance
The latest news proves that this unwarranted intervention continues. A Russian ship arrived at Barcelona on January 19 with a cargo of food from Odessa, one of many acts of sympathy which has called forth the gratitude of the Spanish Reds, who state that "unbreakable bonds of affection have been forged with the Russian people as a result of their noble acts." Nor is France yet free of guilt in this matter. It was reported from Perpignan last week that a large convoy of food for the Spanish loyalists had crossed the border into Spain for the Spanish Reds. Apart from the political and religious bias of these countries, profiteering has been responsible for much trading in arms and ammunition on the part of Britain, and until recently on the part of the United States. Fuel is thus still being added to the flames, while the League of Nations is ostensibly sincere in its effects to extinguish the conflagration. The only explanation of such glaring discrepancies between theory and practice seems to be that the nations are actuated by selfish motives rather than principles of humanity and charity.
It is alleged that Australians are hyper-sensitive over outside criticisms of national weaknesses and foibles. This very sensitiveness might be labelled as the chief of our defects. However. point was given to the friendly criticism of Viscount Dillon on intemperance in our "society" circles by the complete silence with which the correspondents of the Press greeted his utterances. It almost seemed a tacit admission of their substantial truth. Now, among the decadent ideas of our time must be numbered false patriotism, which hangs largely on the suppression of the truth. Its motto is: "Aly country, right or wrong." In a sounder conception the heraldry of a true love might be the rod of correction. It is neither rational nor patriotic to baulk at the truth. And the truth of this matter is deeper and wider than Viscount Dillon indicated. The bacchanalian character of many private parties of the social We accept it as part and parcel of the set is beyond dispute. degeneracy which a surfeit of money generally engenders in the character.
Money and the Ministry
But the evil is not confined to the rich. It is widespread enough to have assumed the proportions of a national characteristic. Especially in the smaller country towns, where police supervision is either absent, impracticable, or lax, the practice of drunkenness is alarmingly evident and especially so among minors. These excesses among youth are also prevalent in the city, but not so ostensibly, for fear of the law. Little enough is said of it, probably- through dread of the prohibitionists, but we are faced with a ngional problem whose solution is not aided by ignoring it. It should be said here that the traditional Catholic attitude is not towards prohibition. but towards temperance. And by temperance we mean that characteristic of all the moral virtues which impels a man to govern his natural appetite for the pleasures of the senses according to the norm prescribed by reason. It vill be seen that this definition is radically different from that of many modern "temperance- advocates, who at heart are frequently only prohibitionists.
A cable message from London the other day reported that t welve Anglican bishops and many other prominent persons had embarked on a crusade for radical economic reform of the Church of England. Among the signatories was the Bishop of Birmingham, Dr. Barnes (itself a suspicious circumstance). The chief changes advocated were the pooling of Church resources and the establishment of a uniform stipend for all ordained persons, including bishops. It was denied that Christian principle involved There larger incomes xvith increased spiritual responsibility. seems in this matter to be some confusion over the Christian doctrine of poverty of spirit. You do not ensure that the Bishop will be poor in spirit by giving him a curate's stipend. The fact is that the episcopal office, like any princely position, involves large expenditure. very little of which is. as a rule, personal. The bishop could, of course, decline to be seen and refuse to entertain. But those of his flock Nvould be the first to resent such seclusion just as a nation would be humiliated by- a priyate-tninded prince.
Quite apart from the practical failures of prohibition, it is philosophically absurd to suppose that vice could be eradicated or solid virtue incu lcated bv a set 4)f external regulations alone. Prohibition is no more a remedy for alcoholism than is sterilisation a remedy for sexualism. The Catholic appeal is to reason. It realises the inherent absurdities and dangers involved in complete reThe very existence of natural appetites negatives the pression. puritan belief that one should treat them as if they didn't exist.

It is not a taste for good beer that usually engenders drunkenness. so much as a depraved appetite for cheap \vine. It is significant that up to the Reformation there occurs no civil legislation against drunkenness. The subsequent crop of laws against intemperance points to the passing away of an influence hitherto found sufficient to promote social welfare by moral means. These reflections do not militate against the Catholic practice of administering "the pledge." In the first place it is not a moral sanction b;nding under sin, and secondly there are the exceptional cases. where habitual indulgence makes temperance a moral impnssibilitv even in those circumstances which are safe for the ordinary There must be a general restoration of moral ideas and citizen. practice on an objective basis before any general remedy vill be availing against intemperance.

Our Foreign News Service It is a sad c‘mmilentary on our much-vaunted freedom of the Press, that much of the news contained in the Australian cables regarding the Civil War in Spain is as tainted and mendacious as the less recent news cables concerning the Abyssinian campaign. It was asserted, for example. that General Franco had conceded the Balearic I- slands to Italy as the price of its intervention on his behalf. Only a few days later we learned that there was not a shred of truth in the story, and that in fact Britain had received a written assurance "that as far as Italy was concerned the integrity of the present territories of. Spain would in all circumstances remain intact.' And so the daily round of lies and half-lies and contradictions goes on unheeding in the Press. When one falsehood is exploded another equally fantastic takes its place. until it is finally exploded by the Government or parties concerned. In the face of such unreliable sources of information the public is indeed poorly served bv its foreign news service, and it becomes increasingly more difficult to accept the recent statements of one of the directors of Associated Press, that the "service is of unquestioned veracity. completeness. and authority," and that "in selecting news sources only the most dependable newspapers are chosen- by the London office.

Convert Buried From Church He Had Built Belize. British Honduras.-Burrell Boom is a small town situated on the banks of the winding Belize River. The
place was visited periodically by a zealous missionary priest,
Father Michael Schaefer, SJ., who spent his time travelling up and down this section of British Honduras administering to the needs of the scattered Catholic population in the settlements, hamlets, and villages. A t Burrell Boom there were few Catholics. The inhabitants of the place this notwithstanding. expressed a desire that the priest should come more frequently- to their town and should build a church there. A nonCatholic, a certain Mr. William Oliver. a hale and hearty octogenarian from Kentucky in the United States, offered to make a present of a suitable piece of land as a site for the church. Mr. Oliver was by trade a brick maker. He was therefore in a position to supply the bricks on the spot. He and his sons were prepared to lay them for a very reasonable price. A generous benefactress in the United States guaranteed to pay this comparatively small sum. The , f.,reatest day in old Mr. Oliver's life, so he stated afterwards. was that on which five priests. accompanied by a contingent of acolytes. boy scouts, boy drummers and singBelize. came to Burrell Room to lay the foundation ,•••,,p of the new church. Not lone- after the church was ,,,moleted Mr. Oliver fell ill. He then decided to take the step that he had contemplated ever since he started work on the Imilding of the church Shortly before his death he was baptised a Catholic by Father Schaefer Mr. Oliver thus had the distinction of beinrr the first person to he buried from the Sacred Heart Church at Burrell Boom -

Thoughts for the Week Sunday : Those only watch, 0 my God, who think of You and love You. All the rest sleep; they dream dreams and attach themselves to shadows. You only are reality. indav : True Perfection consists in a perfect love of God and our neighbour; the more perfectly a soul observes these two commandments the more perfect does she also become.—St. Teresa. Tuesday: It is not impossible that love of God (when true) should remain :'long hidden 'as we see by St. Paul, who, at the end of three days, showed that he languished with love and that he longed to work marvels for Gool. W ednesday: There is nothing that faith does not penetrate and surmount. It passes beyond all darkness, and, no matter how deep the shadows, it passes through them to the truth, which is always firmly embraced and front which it is never separated. Thursday: Pour forth on US, 0 Lord, the Spirit of Thy Love, that those whom Thou hast fed and strengthened with this Bread from heaven may be enabled to despise all earthly things, and with clean hearts to seek after Thee, the only God.—St. Bonaventure. Friday: Words flow to most of US SI easily- and so lightly that w e find it very hard to realise t heir enormous power. and we toss them about with as much casual indifference as if they were not glowing sparks flitting windthrough an ii flammable world. Saturday: Lfe is full of sorsows. It has always been so since the fall of Eve, and it always will he so in this valley of tears. But if Eve brought sorrow into the world. Mary. the second Eve, brings consolation. She is the Comforter of the Af.flicted.—Mother Mary Philip. 1.B.V. M.

False Allegations in Magazine Article.
16.
An article, entitled 'Culture in Australia," written bv Mr. Randolph Hughes in the November issue of the "Nineteenth Century" magazine, takes Australians to task for their alleged anti-British feeling. In the course of the article, which contains grossly libellous and offen sive passages, false references are made to His Grace the Archbishop of Brisbane (Most Rev. Dr. Duhig). The offending paragraph reads as follows: "AntiEnglish sentiment is no new t hing in Australia. One of its many expressions was the resistance to conscription during he Great War, which went to its f urthest lengths when it caused its devotees to spit on soldiers who had returned wounded from the war (Oueensland was the scene of this unedifying conduct). English people will perhaps remember that the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Queensland was refused admission to these shores because of his active collaboration hr this movement." His Grace told the press that he would consult his solicitors with reference to the allegation. "Brisbane may well laugh at t he suggestion that my attitude during the war was any other than that of the highest patriotism." said His Grace. "The absurdity and groundlessness of the suggestion that I was not permitted to enter England is eqt.ally apparent here. The allegation does, however, become of the greatest seriouspess when it appears in a periodical of standing, that has a world-wide circulation.

The language of these formulae is certainly characterised by gravity, suave rather than severe, as was also the address of the Abbot. who, making his own the words of St. Benedict in the Prologue of his Rule. told the postulants that the aspirant to the Benedictine life must put aside the sloth of disobedience and make the toilsome ascent to the heights of virtue by the labour of Obedience.
