: —1 OR many months the preparations for the Congress have been carefully organised and on Wednesday last the opening ceremonies took place amid a vast gathering of pilgrims from all parts of the Catholic world. i The attendance of four repreentatives of the Vatican is one of the rare features of the Manila Congress. The Apostolic Delegates are Thrr. Paschal Robinson, Apostodic Nuncio, to Ireland : Mgr Mario Zanin. Apostolic Delegate t o China ; Mgr. George J. Caruana. Apostolic Nuncio to Cuba: and Mgr. J. Dreyer, Apostolic Delegate to Hue, Annan'. IndoChina, The concurrence of this nt,mher at one place is considered by Cong-ress officials as significant of the Pope's interest in the Congress, because of the fact that these dignitaries have to secure the permission of the Pope before leaving- their posts.

POSSIBLY. It was their first visit to London. A friend had recommended a restaurant where shellfish were a speciality. "Oh- said the wife alter scanning the menu, "I think I'll have a dozen lobsters." -Lobsters, madam echoed the w aiter. "Do you mean that?" "Of course she means, lobsters!" The husband gave the waiter a severe look. "And bring me a dozen, too." In due course the waiter appeared staggering under two trays piled high with the red shellfish, He placed a dozen in front of the woman and a dozen in front of the man. The young husband looked at them aghast. So did his wife. She was the first to recover her speech. "Don't you think, dearest," she said, " that maybe it was oysters Fred told us to get?" As the hikers watched a girl milking a cow, a bull rushed bellowing towards them from the far end of the field. The hikers ran for the nearest gate, but the girl calmly went on with her work. Five yards away from the girl the bull tqune to a sudden halt, turned t eund, and raced" away even faster. When the astonished hikers reassettbled, the girl explained, "I knew t he bull wouldn't come any nearer. T he cow I'm milking is his mother-inlaw." HIS OPINION.

"It Is at Least Against Nature" Such a law is so against nature. I have shown that it is not a law in the sense you imagine. Nor is it against nature to remain unmarried. Many people who have no idea of becoming priests or nuns remain unmarried—some by choice—others because "nobody asked me, sir, she said." At most we can say that nor• inally it is more • in accordance with natural inclinations that people should marry than that they should not marry. It is natural for the human heart to crave human affections, and the mutual companionship of domestic happiness. Your question there. t ore should be "Why do young men become priests, or young women become nuns. despite the fact that natural inclinations tend in the direction of marriage?" The answer is because under the influence of God's grace. they have experienced supernatural attractions to a completely spiritual consecration to God: and they are prepared to sacrifice lower and natural inclinations acordingly.
Nuns as Pritoners ! Why are some nuns deprived of all contact with the out-side world? That again is badly put It would be better to ask, "'Why do some women enter Religious Orders in which they will take upon themselves the obl4.-;ation of complete seclusion from the world" The answer to that. is because they have felt called by God to a complete renunciation of earthly
things, and to an entirely undistracted and contemplative life of prayer. Is not this imprisonment? No. Imprisonment means locking people in, in order to keep them in against their will, and away from an outside world which does not .vant them. But when a girl wants to become a nun in an Enclosed Order, it is her own desire to get :n, and to shut the outside world out in order to keep it out. That does not suggest a prison.

doors of a prison, and the inmates will thank you, and joyfuly depart. Throw open the doors of an Enclosed Convent, and the good ititns will not thank you; nor will they joyfully depart. They will close the doors again --from the inside, and continue the life they have chosen, and still prefer. Is it not an unnecessary penance? It was not necessary for the nuns to choose such a life in the first place. But they wished to do so. And it would be a greater penance to force them back into the world they so gladly left than to leave them where they are devoted to a life of spirituality and prayer.

Children of a Mixed Marriage . .A Lonely Mother, Hurstville. Thirty-one years ago I, who was a Catholic, married a Church of England man, and we had six children. Though you contracted a mixed marriage, it was a valid marriage in the eyes both of the State, and of. the Catholic Church, wherever your marriage took place, since it occurred before the year 1908. For not until that year did the Ne Temere Decree become operative in Australia, invalidating the marriages of Catholics outside their own Church. You say that children of mixed marriages are illegitimate. .1 have never said that. I have said just the opposite. I have said that, even where a mixed marriage is not valid in Catholic law because the Catholic party failed to comply with Catholic requirements for validity, the children would be legitimate in the eyes of the Catholic Church. But your marriage was valid even in Catholic law, and there would be still less reason to talk of your children being illegitimate. I will never believe that my children ere illegitimate. Nobody asks you to du so. I allowed my children to be brought up in the Church of England religion You were not justified in doing that. If you believed that you had the true religion, how could you agree that your children would be deprived of it? And if you believed that God demands that He be worshipped in the Catholic w ay, how could you decide that He would not be worshipped by your children in that way? However, it is clear from your letter that you must know very l-ittle of your own Catholic religion. Probably you were baptised a Catholic, and no more. You should seek instruction in your religion. •
I Divorced My Husband Some years ago my husband left me, andI divorced him because he wished to marry again. That. also was wrong. You object to my suggesting that your marriage was not valid, and here you behaved yourself as if it were not valid. Death alone can break a • valid marriage between two Christians. Whether he got a civil divorce or not, your husband could not contract a second valid Christian marriage. Christ said clearly "If a man puts away his wife and marries another, he commits adultery; You were not justified in co-operating actively in your husband's intention of going through a second form of marriage with another woman. •
"May I Marry a Catholic Now?" Now I have met a good man of my own Faith, but because I am divorced I can't marry him. As a Hitholic he certainly cannot marry yu whilst your husband is still living. V ,1 plead now that he is "of your own Faith." That cannot make your valid marriage invalid, nor alter the law of Christ that a valid marriage is binding until (:eath. But even apart from that, you want the Catholic Faith to tell in your favour now, though you thought so little of it as to neglect it for years whilst it suited you to do so, and allowed your children to be entirely deprived of it. A s a matter of fact, the more vou appeal to the Catholic faith, the less hope there is of a marriage which that C atholic Faith forbids,
The Law of Christ Why am I debarred from marrying a Catholic man? Because you are already married to another man, and he is still living. If you have any love for the Christian religion at all, you must be prepared to observe the Christian law. Jesus has said, "If anyone love me he will keep my commandments." And one of those c ommandments forbids a second marriage during the lifetime of the partner to a former marriage. I have already quoted Our Lord's own words to that effect. St. Paul also writes in I. Cot. vii., 39, "A woman is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband die, she is at liberty" to marry again. The fact
that non-Catholic Churches are lax in this matter is no reason why the Catholic Church should also be unfaithful to the law of Christ. And if indeed the Catholic Faith is your own Faith, and you have suddenly developed an affection for it, you must put it into practice, deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow Christ. You seem to think that religion is to serve you. It is not for that in the way you wish. It is to make you serve God; ; and that is really the greatest service it can do you.
The Church Will Gain Me Once More! By marrying him I go back to my Church. All seems to swing on your own selfish purposes. When it suited You to marry a non-Catholic, you walked out of the Church. Now that it suits you to marry a Catholic, you will return to it again. Your motives are all wrong It is not enough to return to your religion because you want to marry a Catholic man. You must return to it because it is the true religion of Jesus Christ and because it is your duty before God to practise that religion. This is quite independent of marriage problems. If you say, "Well, I will return to the Catholic Church only provided that Church allows me to marry this Catholic man, the Church will have to manage without your loyal support. No advantages can weigh against what is right. She is here to keep the law of God: not to break it, It is a case like this which brings out forcibly how rigidly the Catholic Church stands to principle.
My Child Will be a Cathelic All ny children have left me except one boy. If I were allowed to marry this Catholic man,I would bring my boy up as a Catholic. But this is denied me. The marriage you wish must be denied to you. But you are not denied the privilege of bringing up your remaining child as a Catholic. If you sincerely believe in the Catholic religion. you are aliged to do so whatever he the decision about your marBut if you refuse to bring the riage boy up as a Catholic, unless the Catholic Church permits your second marriage, the Church will have to stand by, and let you do what. you %ill with your boy. She has had to do that before, as when she refused Henry VIII. just what you are asking, the price being the loss of England from her fold-
Why Can't I Return to My Faith ? Why can't I become a member of the Catholic Faith again? You can, and it is your duty to lo so. But your letter gives no indication that you really want to become a member of the Catholic Church again. You want to become the wife of this Catholic man. If he did not happen to be a Catholic, but was a Methodist. or a Presbyterian, or an Anglican, had no scruples about marryand ing you, you would marry him on the spot. If you were genuinely interested in your Catholic Faith for its own Fake, you would repent of Your sins in neglecting it, and in depriving your children of it. And you would resume its practices, trying to make reparation by fervent prayer and good example for the disedification you have given. And the Catholic Church is always ready to receive you back. But it must be on her own conditions, not t : "-c prescribc1 by yourself.
How Find Happiness? Is there no way in which two people can be happy in their old age? There is only one way in which they can be truly happy; and that is by observing God's laws. But you seek only earthly happiness, quite indifferent as to whether God's laws permit it. or not. You sought it that way before, and did not find it. And now you wish to seek it in the same way again, But it cannot be found in the way- you wish. You must learn to love God more than you love any of God's creatures even more than you love yourself. Then you will find. happiness in sacrificing God's creatures and even yourself for the love of God. Some of the things I have said to you may seem hard. They are not meant to be so. It is simply that God's law cannot be watered down to suit men — or women. I am sincerely sorry tor you in your distress: hut the Only remedy is that you take my advice:. return to the practice .of your religion, fulfil its obligations, and find happiness in the service of God.

Our Lady of Lourdes History of a World-Famed Grotto The pilgrimage oi Lourdes is founded on the apparitions of the Blessed Virgin to a poor, fourteen-year- oh girl, Bernadette Soubiroux. The first apparition occurred on February 11, 1858. There were eighteen in all; the last took place on July 16, of the same year. Bernadette often fell into an ecstasy. The mysterious vision she saw in the hollow of the rock Massabielle was that of a young and beautiful lady. "Lovelier than I have ever seen," said the child. But the girl was the only one who saw the vision, although sometimes many stood there with her. Now and then the apparition spoke to the seer who also was the only one who heard the voice. Thus, she one day t old her to drink of a mysterious fountain in the grotto itself. the existence of which was unknown. and of which there was no sign. hut which immediately gushed forth. On another occasion the apparition ba4le Bernadette go and tell the priests she wished a chapel to be built on the spot and processions to be made to this grotto. At first the clergy were incredulous. It was only four years later, in 1862, that the bishop of the diocese declared the faithful "justified in believing the reality of the apparition." A basilica was built upon the rock of NIassabielle by M. Peyramale, the parish priest. In 1873 the great "national" French pilgrimages were inaugurated. Three years later the basilica was consecrated and the statue solemn-
ly crowned. In 1883 the foundation stone of another church was laid, as the first was no longer large enough. It was built at the foot of the basilica and was consecrated in 1901 and called the Church of the Rosary. Pope Leo XIII authorised a special office and a Mass, in commemoration of - the apparition, and in 1907 Pius X extended the ohser\ ance o f this feast to the entire Church; it is IlOW observed on February 11.

Adolp1-.e Mortreux. ‘ytio Eel:ruary 1934, was involved in a railway accident which left him with a fractured spine, pelvis, and leg. These healed so imperfectly that when medically examined on September of the same year, he was declared permanently incapacitated for work and was awarded 190,000 francs compensation in lieu of pension. He had to wear an iron support and could walk only with crutches. On coming to Lourdes with the Lille Diocesan Pilgrimage, after bathing in the grotto he was able to walk without his crutches, and on the next day his cure was ascertained to be complete. save for a slight limp.

HE foundation of a St. John of God Hospital at Coolgardie came at a most opportune time. The opening ceremony had barely taken place before another and more violent epidemic of typhoid overtook the settlement. The hospital was soon filled to capacity, whilst the good nuns fully justified the confidence that had been placed in them. Meanwhile, the preparations for a similar institution at Kalgoorlie were almost complete. Building plans had been drawn up and despatched to Melbourne, enabling the material to be sent in sections and assembled locally. Unforseen difficulties, however, were to delay the work. First the land-deeds, and then, more greviously, the obstructive tactics of three members of the

On March 30 within a fortnight of the opening ceremony, the Sisters were called upon to admit the victims of a shocking catastrophe at the Mt. Charlotte mine, situated on the eastern boundary of the township. Of these, three sustained fatal injuries and died in the institution. The committee reported that for the first month 45 patients were admitted, with 15 discharges and the three casualties previously mentioned. One of the hospital's first patients was Rev. Father Deasy, suffering from peritonitis. Lord Forrest, then Sir John, the State
Premier, paid a visit to the hospital about this time and promised the support of his Government. About June of the same year Mr. W. G. BroOkrnan expressed his extreme satisfaction with everything pertaining to the institution and generously offered to finance the construction of a new ward bearing his name.

BACK to the LAND
German people are also in a desperate plight and one drastic reform there is the Hereditary Farm Law of 1933, which covers a million farms (60 per cent. of the arable land of Germany and converted those farms into hereditary holdings that can he neither sold or mortgaged. In most European countries since 1914-18 there has been a .big change-over from land monopoly to peasant proprietary. Sometimes Governments have bought off the land monopolists, in other cases these gentlemen have been given State Bonds, of dubious value, for their titles, but there has also been extensive confiscation. Russia tossed out the landed aristocracy, Turkey has appropriated huge areas for the peasants. and even the Republican leader Azana in Spain at the February, 1936 Elections was pledged to a policy of confiscation. Bankrupt Governments cannot now buy land and sell it out to the peasants as was done for Irish tenants by the Wyndham Land Act of a generation ago. To give destitute settlers a chance of carrying on it should be a reasonable proposition to give them what dole or sustenance allowance they now receive for work of questionable value. The Hogan Government in Victoria in 1930-31, put a number of settlers on abandoned holdings and paid them 16/- a week sustenance; two ).ears afterwards it was reported that practically all o f diem had made good. In W.A. the Mines Department makes an a llowance of 15/- a week to a large number of gold prospectors —could not a similar opportunity he gi Veil to those \\ ho ished to establish themselves on the land?
13) JOHN JEFFERS. A newcomer to the Golden \Vest must be impressed by the fact that the population is huddled together at points like Perth-Fremantle and KalgoorlieBoulder while the immense countryside is almost deserted. A New Zealander who had travelled extensively in W.A. said there was enough good soil, plus rainfall, climate and transport facilities in the South-West to make another New Zealand; yet most of the news from the South-West is about abandoned farms and poverty. West Australians are up against the fact that it is not now feasible for a man to provide for the needs of himself and family from the soil, and at the same time to carry On his back land monopolists, moneylenders and iovernment officials. It can't be done, and the most hard-working and experienced primary producers now admit it. Not only Australia, but other countries are up against the same proposition. An English journalist who toured the seven countries of Eastern Europe in 1935 explained that its one hundred million peasants had largely gone back to the conditions of 1835 because the wealth they produced had little exchangability with the products of industrialised Europe. Every department of primary production in Australia is, or tends to be. a bankrupt business. Production on factory or mass production lines did pay at one time but ft-4)m all sides we hear that it does not pay now. Faced with the fAilitre of this method of wealth production we xvill be compelled to turn to other methods of applying labour to

land and the most promising is a return to the peasant or yeoman system of production, which. up to about a hundred years ago, was the universal method. People now living can tell us of their youth in Germany, France, Denmark, Ireland and other coun• tries where all the needs of the home were produced on the farm holding; it appears to have been a stable and secure way of living and was the base of a rather high civilisation. Ten years ago one Nvould have been regarded as a crank if heard advocating a return to this peasant ,system of life, but in Australia so many people are in such a hopeless position that they will now face any proposition that would enable them to steer back to a secure living. The pioneers in Australia were ignorant of local conditions and what previous experience some of them had was not very serviceable to them here. Yet because they could get their feet on to a selection they had the inducement to battle against difficulties. to learn the job as they .went along, and to find way; and means of getting a living. If land were to be had in \V.A. to-day we would have a chance of seeing a recurrence of land settlement on sound lines. Necessity Nyould compel people to adopt a standard of living to suit their position. even if it meant a primitive standard. Droves of people don't get enough to eat and are practically homeless as well as compulsorily idle: it woud be no ordeal for them to tackle life on the land if there was a hope of making good at it. There is quite an army of W.A. youth rambling about the State, jumping the rattler, begging food and tobacco, living in idleness and under degrading conditions; it would be no startling ordeal for them to settle down on the land, even under primitive conditions. The first generation did it, and this generation are not exactly destitute of the necessary pluck and energy to do likewise. There is plenty of land in \V.A. that could be made available for this new generation of settlers. The Agricultural Bank alone has enough abandoned farmck on its hands to provide for an army. Many of these farms are partially improved, most of them are too large; they are of no use to the Bank, or the people of W.A., whose trustee the Bank appears to be.
\ V A. has unique advantages for actualising the principle that the people of a country have a natural right to a share in the country. If free land is made available for would be settlers it would be a starting point to end the existing absurd arrangement under which most \ostralians have no more right to the land of Australia than the flocks m igraton birds that come here , f 7 •- ? -t-on and then away HARD. Harry had dune no work for over a year and his father was getting tired of keeping him. "Harry," said his father one day. "I hear there s been a death at Johnson's factory. 'Why don't you go and see if you can fill the vacancy." Harry went. On his return he explained that he could have the job but that the work was too hard for him. "But," protested his father, "you're a strong fit man. If the man who died could do it, surely you could." "It wasn't a man that dierit:. ro plied Harry. "It was a horse! WORTH A TRIAL.

Saturday, February 6, 1937. COMMUNISM AND THE HOLY NAME SOCIETY the Sir. Aristotle, one of greatest intellects that ever lived on this earth, declared hundreds of years ago, that Communism \vas impossible and must fail. The same applies today, as then; Communism must tail. -What is C ommunism? It is an absolute of the existence of denial Almighty God and of the hereafter. We are like the brute beast haying- no Soul. That is the Communist attitude towards religion of every sect. I ,have never yet heard of a Communist proving there is no God and no hereafter and that we have no Soul, but we have unlimited proof that they do exist. Communist advocates The State ownership of everything. All are to be employed by the State and no man is permitted to own anything, not even the house he lives in. When a child is born it immediately becomes the property of the State; the parents have no say whatever in its training or its future career; it is to be taught to hate all religion. What a terrible state the world will be in if all this comes to pass. It is the enmity between Capital and Labour that requires a solution and the Communistic policy will never do it. The fact that the wealth of the world is in the hands of the few while millions are practically starving is the foundation cel it all. Greed, selfishness and jealousy seem to be born in Its. and every man is trying to get all he can and is never satisfied. Every employer entitled to a fair margin of profi t and every employee should give a honest dav•s work in retprn for a fair day's pay. The law of the land should prevent the em plover at the - expense of the worker from becoming wealthy. Price fixing and regulatin;..; profits would go a long way towards this end. It is believed be man that the Church leans towards the capitalist with no sympathy for the Nvorker. That is certainly untrue. Pope Leo long ago propounded the teaching of the Church in this matter. One thing that would bring more harmony between Capital and Labour. employer and employee, is the training of our cltildr,en in the schools. Something should be done to try and take the greed and selfishness out of them during their tender years, so that in manhood they will act towards their fellow man as God intended. The Holy Name Society is quite adequate to combat 0)111inunism. The Holy Father has called upon the laity to be up and doing to assist in the propae-ation of Catholic Action. Every Catkiolic man should join this s"cict.\ and learn something of t he Cinitch's attitude towards Corninunkñ, the greatest enemy t he ( Ithrch nas.

Father McMahon and the Sisters joined the girls, when an announcement was made by the secretary in regard to the loss of the Sisters of St. Joseph in this State, and the Association of St. Gertrude's, of Sister Julia who will be leaving for Sydney in March. This was indeed a surprise and a sorrow to all, for Sister Julia has endeared herself to everyone who has come in contact with her. Her stay in Western Australia has been a long one, 31 years in the service of the Sisters of St. Joseph and 12 years a Mother Provincial.

The Need of Penance
O
WING to the frailty of human nature (which is only adequately explained by the doctrine of Original Sin) the noblest venture carries its attendant risks. In the matter of the Lenten observance, the benignity of the Church in mitigating the old "black fast," was imperilled by the possibility that Catholics might forget the urgent need which both they and the world have of penance. The Church's action, it would seem, was motivated not so much by a desire to make concessions to human nature ( for that element remains substantially unchanged. and the Church in any case has never pandered to its instability) as to maintain some sort of spiritual equilibrium against the rapid decay of social life. The collapse of Western civilisation, which has been in process since the Reformation and has received unprecedented stimulus from industrialisation, has made the external circumstances ()I modern life sufficiently difficult for the flesh and an unfailing source of vexation to the spirit.
It is not that we have outgrown the need of corporal austerity : we must accept it from the hands of modern social life, willy-nilly. The application of hairshirts, chains and disciplines was, after all, on a more or less optional basis. The nn,rtitications of modern conditions are omnipresent and largely inevitable; they might therefore seem potentially meritorious as a purge for the spirit. But in penance as in other questions affecting moral good or evil, it is the will that is the decisive factor. If the modern Catholic cannot accept the inflictions of the modern age with joy, at least he can receive them in patience, and without too much protestation. In this connection it is interesting to note how far ahead of their times were the Jesuits. One of the reasons why St. Ignatius Loyola and his company were not cordially received by the older Orders in the sixteenth century was because the Saint refused to prescribe in his Constitutions any obligatory corporal austerities. Not that his sons were exempted' from external penance. hut it should spring from a living spirit rather than a rule and that everyone should be enabled to act, on the advice of his confessor, according to his spiritual need and capacity. The success of St. Ignatius' innovation might perhaps have been the precedent in the mind of the Church when she mitigated the old Lenten observance. At • different periods in the history of the Church there have arisen zealots of austerity such aks the Flagellants. who confused the real nature and purpose of penance. These were unhesitatingly suppressed by the Church. because they made penance an end in itself, whereas it was. and is. only a means to a well-ordered spiritual life. Just as the Church has always regarded the sins of the mind as grayer than the sins of the flesh. so she has exalted interior mortification above corporal austerity. It is quite easy to realise the reason of this when one considers that the chief element of moral endeavour is the human mind and will co-operating with the grace of God. It is therefore the spiritual faculties which need the purification of discipline, because once ordered these will adequately control the aberrations of the flesh. The Holy Season of Lent oilers a respite from mundane worries during which a man should consider his more immediate spiritual needs and particularly to what extent these can be aided by penance and prayer. Few but concrete measures should be decided upon with his confessor's approval. The long annual Retreat of Lent, well and s eriously undertaken, should be sufficient, even in the modern world, to carry a man strongly and constantly forward in the Christian life.
Catholic Schools ET another scholastic year has commenced and such of the results of the past year's work as can be gauged from Y Examination successes, have been published. Our Catholic schools and .colleges which have already established a high prestige in the scholastic world, are again to the fore, their results yielding place to none. It is regretted by some that our fine Catholic educational system is trammelled and confined by competitive examination, yet we are largely bound by the exigencies of the time and the utilitarian outlook of modern education. Our results at least prove that we have nothing to fear in the competitive field. Another important matter is the new syllabus drawn up at the recent Conference of Catholic Teachers, which illustrates that our teachers are very much alive to modern needs and educational difficulties. Above all it stressed the reason d'etre of our schools—the intelligent and enduring imparting of religious knowledge and practice. While that remains sound, .our educational system will have little occasion' to fear the impinging of purely secular influences.

German Hierarchy's Warning TRONG criticism of Nazi treatment of the Church is made in a Pastoral letter signed by the Cardinals, Archbishops and Bishops of Germany, which was read in the Churches recently. The Hierarchy declare their readiness to co-operate with Herr Hitler in his campaign against Bolshevism, but point out that unless anti-Catholic persecution ceases, such co-operation cannot be effective. The Church is still being refused that freedom which was guaranteed to it under the terms of the Concordat between the Reich and the Holy See. The Bishops condemn the Nazi campaign against Catholic schools stating that they have systematically persuaded people to leave the Church, and brought pressure to bear on Catholic officials of the Nazi party to withdraw 'their children from the denominational. schools. In a similar Pastoral letter, the Bishops of the Provinces of Cologne and Paderborn have called on the Catholics of Germany to resort to all their means to free and remove their children from influences contrary to religion. The implications of the new law under which all German children must be enrolled in the Hitler Youth organisation, are receiving grave consideration of the German Bishops. and representations have already been made by the Papal Nuncio at Berlin to the Foreign Minister, pointing out the necessity of dealing- finally with the differences between Church and State if a more serious conflict is to be avoided.
Catholics and Communism PROM IN ENT Sheffield Communist has been recently reported as stating that many good Catholics are members of the Communist Party. This statements betrays either c ulpable ignorance or bad faith. The statement is obviously untrue. N,) good Catholic can be a member of the Party, because its tenets are opposed to Catholic doctrine, its practices are abhorrent to Catholic sentiment and its policy has been condemned by the Pope. In his programme of Catholic At tion the Holy Father seeks to ,withdraw the worker from the blind alley o.f. Communism, and opposes the social evils with the principles of Catholic democracy. The Communists exploit distress and scorn all remedies within our present economic sy stem. They evidently- prefer things to go from bad to worse, so that the workmen may be foolishly provoked to violent revolution. The problem of disentangling religion and morals from the abuses to which the economic system is subject. is liable to obscure the vision of many persons of good,. yin, who allow themselves to he duped into collaboration with the subversive elements of Communism, in the vain hope of thus reforming abuses.
A special meeting of the newly formed Catholic Women's League will be convened by His Grace the Archbishop in the near future, with the object of discussing the C'onsititutions, and appointing: sub-committees. His Lordship, the Bishop of Geraldton, Right Rev. Dr. J. P. O'Collins, accompanied by Rev. Father W. S.J. and R ev. Father Lynch paid a visit t o Perth during the week. Right Re,-.

The altar was beautifully decorated for the occasion, and the Convent Choir supplied the Sacred Music. In a very touching and eloquent address His Grace exhorted the Sisters to live up to the spirit of their state, and impressed upon them that it is chiefly by the practice of the virtue of humility they would reach the noblest ideals of the Religious Life.

SUMMARY OF THE REGULATIONS FOR FAST AND ABSTINENCE.
Lenten Kegulations for 1937
( 1) On Fast Days. those bound to fast are allowed one full meal, at. or after mid-day. In addition, they are allowed two light meals, one of about eight ounces, at which butter, eggs, cheese, or fish may be taken in small quantity ; the other of t wo ounces or three, at which a little butter may be taken. r 2) On Abstinence Days flesh meat and meat soup are forbidden to those who are bound to abstain. ( 3) Lard and dripping may be used on days of fast and abstinence, provided they be used merely as a condiment or seasoning. ( 4) All Fridays are days of Abstinence. (5) All Wednesdays and Fridays in Lent and in Ember W eek, and the Vigils of Christmas. Pentecost, Assumption, and All Saints' are days of fast and abstinence. (6) Monday, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays in Lent, and the Saturdays in Ember Weeks, are days of fast without abstinence. (7) There is no fast on Sundays or Holidays of Obligation. (8) St. Patrick's Day is exempted from fast; also from abstinence, unless it falls on Friday or on the Wednesday of Ember Week. (9) When two days of abstinence follow one another immediately, the second is freed from abstinence. (10) Those who have completed their twenty-first year are bound by the law of fasting; they cease to be bound to it when they have begun their sixtieth Year. ( 11) Those who are in delicate health, iar who are engaged in exhausting work, are not bound to fast. Of course, those who are seriously ill are not bound by either fast or abstinence. ( 12) Those who are not bound to fast are allowed to take meat as often as they wish on a fast day, whenever meat is allowed at the principal meal to those who are fasting. (13) Confessors, even outside the Confessional, can for a sufficient reason. dispense in individual cases in the law of fast and abstinence. THE PASCHAL PRECEPT. According to the present discipline of the Church. Marriage may be celebrated at any time. The solemn celebration of Marriage with Nuptial Mass is, however, forbidden during Advent or Lent, i.e., from the first Sunday of Advent to Christmas Day. both inclusive, and from Ash Wednesday to Easter Sunday. both inclusive. COLLECTIONS FOR THE HOLY PLACES IN PALESTINE AND FOR THE ABORIGINAL MISSIONS. I wish to remind the clergy that the annual collection for the above-named funds should be taken up on Good Friday, either at the Adoration of the Cross or whatever sacred functions will be given to the faithful on the previous Sunday, and the off et ings from each parish will be forwarded to the Administrator as soon as possible afterwards. Wherever the Stations of the Cross are erected, the stations should be publicly performed three times each week during Lent. The indulgences may be gained also privately and at any time.

A rchbishop of Perth.
Miss Elsie Paxton of the Hotel Esplanade, Perth, underwent a successful operation for appendicitis at St. John of God Hospital Subiaco, last Monday. Friends will be pleased to hear she is progressing favourably. A meeting of the Chesterton Club was held on Wednesday evening in the rooms of the Veritas Library, 36 Pier-street. with Dr. V. K. Webster presiding. The evening's chief item of , interest was an informal lecture by Rev. Father M. J. Winston on his recent trip through America. The lecturer gave an interesting precis of America's secular and ecclesiastical history, and touched on many interesting aspects of life in the States. Some illuminating statistics, illustrative of the relative strength cf the Chi-Jell in America were also given. The speaker kindly replied to many questions concerning President Roosevelt. Father Coughlin and the position of the Catholic Universities. Dr. Webster expressed the Club's appreciation of Father W inston's address, which was carried by acclamation. HITLER AND THE VATICAN Denominational Schools Question The omission from Herr Hitler's Reichstag speech of any reference to the strained relations between the Reich and the Vatican is described by a Vatican authority as intentional and premeditated. Vatican authorities insist the crisis has been merely postponed for the German Government is believed to be determined to adopt measures abolishing confessional schools. One authority stated: "The church harbours no illusions in this respect. We know a decree making attendance at State schools obligatory for all German children is imminent." Swansea Cycles. Radios.

The spacious grounds were well used —the girls at baseball, rounders, etc. and the boys at cricket. • The boys wish to thank Mr. Luke McLernon and the Vinjarra Cricket Club for supplies of cricket material. One day, Dr. McMahon and Father Winston paid a visit to the Bushies. The latter joined in the cricket and hit hard—as one of the boys found to his sorrow. E ventually, the final Sunday arrived. With the 50 children, the usual congregation found difficulty in securing seating accommodation in the Church. Neatly dressed and splendidly trained, the children presented a beautiful spectacle as they received Holy Communion. Again the Church was packed in the afternoon when His Grace the Arch. bishop administered the Sacrament of Confirmation. The Archbishop questioned the children on the Sacrament they were to seceive. The Bushist are thankful to His Grace. Not only did he talk to them on the Sunday, but on the previous night be gave Benediction and spoke to them, and so these Bushies have returned to their scattered homes with loving memories of their great friend and benefactor —the Archbishop.

An invitation is extended to St. Mary's club members and friends who attended in such large numbers at our last popular dance.

The painting and decorations to St. Mary's Church have been completed and present a very pleasing effect. With the re-decoration and alterations to the windows St. Mary's has undergone the most extensive alterations since its opening thirty-five years ago.

Mr. O'Hara who was born at Whyte Yarcowie, South Australia, was a son of the late Patrick and Margaret O'Hara, who had considerable farming and other interests in South Australia. He came to Western Australia 40 years ago, and soon after his arrival he joined the service of the Western Australian Government Railways in the Loco De. pattment, at Fremantle. After several years' service he left to take up business on his own account in connection with specialising in thoroughbred horses for horse racing. Ile had an outstanding racing career as owner and trainer, and won practically every important event in this State, also very many prominent events in other States. Mr. O'Hara was recognised as an authority and one of the best judges in the State of thoroughbred horses. He was also the largest importer of thoroughbreds from New Zealand to W.A. and had helped considerably to further the interests of the turf through his keen judgment and ability and numerous importations of high grade stock.

The Boy Saviour Movement
B
Mt. Barker. Dear Aunt Bessy.—Thanks so much for the gift of Holy Masses. Surely we shall heap a great harvest of blessings this year. I am glad I helped a wee bit, and am enclosing an offering in honour of St. Therese and also in thanksgiving to the Holy Souls for a f avour received. JACARANDA. for Dear Jacaranda.—Thank you your note and for what was enJudging by my mail closed therin. these times everyone seems a bit dazed over haying given me the Objective for 1936, so I am doubly glad that you are among those who know I can still receive thanksgiving offerings without feeling bashful. AUNT BESSY.
EARING the approval of The Holy Father, a much needed development of devotion to the Boy Jesus has been inaugurated under title of "The Boy Saviour Movement" and since the simplicity of this particular League is as beautiful as it is spiritual it should commend itself to every individual who is in any way responsible for the training of children. We know only too well how arduous are the efforts put forward by the unbelievers in God to wreck the soul of the child, to blot out from the mind of the child every conception it has formed to itself of God, and to mould his thoughts within the hard and narrow vessel of materialism that can promise nothing beyond this present life, and nothing of truth and virtue during
it.
A little share in the high amount. peaceful New Year to you. DIMPLES. Dear Dimples.—Even the smiles brought on through the gaining of the Objective have not gifted me with your dimples, so you see, there are yet many things wanting to my perfect contentment- At the same time, I could not wish for a more loyal band of Cornerites than the gallant company who made the Test a victory for W.A. and I am perfectly sure the words of your friend with regard to your work for the Scheme will come true, though I do hope you will not be in too great a hurry to get that compound interest. AUNT BESSY.
Religious Holiday Schools
In the pamphlet, "Red Rule in Mexico," by Rev. J. Phillips, ST (page 16) the writer quotes the report of a journalist who heard the following in a school in Chihuahua: The children saluted their teacher in the morning with, "Teacher, there is no God." and the teacher replied. "There never was a God." Such teachir• tactics are not limited to Mexico. They are near the enough to us, alas, though for nonce more cleverly disguised, and so it behoves all who have the interests of children at heart to be as earnest in impressing God upon their minds as His enemies are in striving to corrupt that impress. Most of us have been privileged to have learnt our first knowledge of The Boy Jesus at the knees and in the homes of our parents, and in mature the years and on through old age prayers taught us there remain in our minds in spite of all else the crowded years have pressed into them, and faulty memory robbed us of.
During the recent Christmas school holidays, country children attended Religious Holiday Schools as follows.— At Harvey, 23 children were in residence for 14 days. A t Pinjarra, 51 children were in residence for 14 days. A t Narrogin 10 children were in residence for 14 days. A t Bridgetown, 26 children were in residence for 10 days. A t Tucktield-street, East Fremantle, g children were in residence for seven days. At Albany, 52 children were in residence for 14 days. That is. 170 children enjoyed the privileges of residence in a convent school in the country, while they were being prepared for the Sacraments. The figures for the Beverley School are not yet inDuring the mid-winter and 'autumn school holidays of 1936 the following figures indicate how much this scheme is doing for the child in the bush.
Therefore, it is from the parents first, then from the priest and teacher that the encouragements should come for all little Catholic children to rank themselves as true companions oi Jesus. We may have known many a little child, whimsical if you like, who, when deprived of childish company has played for hours with some imaginary little girl or boy, and much happiness and content have been derived therefrom, but how much more than that will be garnered if children are taught to think upon The Boy Jesus just as He was when He was their age on earth. Keeping Him always before them they can be trained to pray, to study. to play and to go around the little home duties just as if He was by their side, as in truth He is, and if such a practice as this becomes habitual, the child will pass to adolescence, and on to manhood and womanhood steeped, as it were, in the Holy Personality of Jesus. and re-living as far as they can His human and sinless ways.
Kudardup. Dear Aunt I3essy.—Please find enclosed 5/ for two cards which were not finished off in time for the closing o f the 1936 Campaign. Congratulations on last year's success, (,Mrs.) L. BRENNAN Dear Mrs. Brennan.—The 5/- and return of cards has helped to make me refrain from naming the "Overflow" a dribble, so thank you very much, and I am grateful as well for the congratulations which rightfully belong to my Cornerites. AUNT BESSY. Victoria Park. Dear Aunt Bessy.—Enclosed please find one card and 2/6. 1 am delighted that you got over the Thousand, and I hope you will get more this year. I am also sending a few used stamps. ( Mrs.) T. 'AVOYNAIIAN. Dear Mrs. Movnahan—Thank you for your unfailing appearance, and for what has accompanied it. The stamps also were most welcome, and so with the 'more" if it comes though I'm mint going to think about it this side o f May. AUNT BESSY.
This is the aim of The Boy Saviour Movement, and it deserves to be taken up with love and ardour. It is for young people, girls and boys, and no formal application for admission into this Movement need be made to anyone. It can be taken up on the recommendation of the parents in the home or the teacher in the school with no further obligation than that of trying to live up to the devotion and to those children who have made their First Holy Communion nothing will be more conducive to a permanent fervour and increased Spiritual attraction than the frequent reception of Their Friend and King hidden in the Sacred Host.
Dear Aunt Bessy,s—Here is a card and 2/6, and I hope your Bushies do well again this year. GINGER. Dear Ginger,—They will, if everyone gets going on a New Year resolution as promptly and ardently as your own self —thank you for that card and 2/6. How is Oberon? AUNT BESSY.
Those, however, who do take the devotion up are expected to offer one act, word or prayer each day for the spiritual welfare of a companion, and as a rpminder of this daily practice the following helpful prayer should be morning and night added to the prayers: "Dearest. Jesus, Who in Thy boyhood at Nazareth gayest all Young people the most perfect example of r everence for parents, respect for superiors, and obedience to lawful authority, grant. I beseech Thee lovingly, that, while keeping Thee ever before me as my Model, I may earnestly try to imitate Thee in these and in all other virtues, so that, growing in years,I may grow also in grace and f avour before Thee, Who livest and reignest forever. Amen,
Dear Aunt Bessy,—The First Friday and my offering in honour of the Sacred Heart. I was speaking lately to a friend about my inability to do much for the Bushies' Scheme. Here is her answer: "Everything you do for the Bushies is counted, and every effort you make for them will stand to you with compound interest at your death" so now I feel it is better to give a trifle than nothing at all, Many thanks for the Holy Masses and Holy Communions that were offered for your Cornerites. I am pleased with your high score. Everyone is pleased about the £1000. The results almost eclipsed the Test Matches, and there were a few grins here when the Objective was made. 1. was pleased to have some
At Busselton, 26 children in residence for 14 days. At Wagin, 34 children in residence for 14 days. A t Katanning 37 (28 for 14 days and 9 for 7 days). A t Narrogin, 54 children in residence for 14 days. A t Donnybrook, 16 children in residence for 14 days. A t Kellerberrin, 40 children in resi. dence for 14 days. A t Manjimup, 48 children in residence for 7 days. The period of 14 days residence seems to be the best favoured for the work of a Religious Holtday School. Those figures represent a total of 255 children who have benefited by the scheme. Not including Beverley, which was still on when these figures were made up, we have' had 425 children in Religious Holiday School: from June. 1936 to January, 1937.
Kevin is away I can get a good go with my card as 1 get all the pennies he used to get. We had good fun when Aunty Nellie was here and we were very sorry when she had to go away. Brian would like a card too, and will you please send them straight away as I might be going to Maylands for the week-end and I must have a card to greet my old friends. with Cheerio, Aunt Bessy. Your loving niece,— PAT BYRNE. Dear Pat,—If I have a stamp to spare after I've finished up this year I will write to the Postmaster-General and ask him couldn't he give us an air-mail service for the cards for no matter how I tried I could not possibly get back the cards to you before the week-end as your letter only arrived into my office on Friday the 29th though I notice it is dated for the 19th. I wonder did you give it to Aunty Nellie or Kevin to post? Kevin might have got an attack ot the "forgets" in the excitement of coming to Perth again. Anyway I am sure you will still have a warm welcome waitins for those that are on their way to me now, and in case you're very upset about the delay I've made up a rhyme about your five dolls and I do hope they will like it. THE BEAUTIFUL FIVE. Pat Byrne has dolls that number five, You never saw such little dears; They never talk or laugh too loud, And best of all they shed no tears, They're all so well behaved and nice, ( Just like their owner is I'm told)• And some have hair of ginger hue, lAnd some have real hair of spun gold, There's Jean, for instance, she's a love And just as dainty as her name, And Nancy on the picture screen, Would quickly win her way to fame, There's Peggy also, and in case Y ou don't quite fancy that small

AN ENCOURAGING WORD FROM THE EAST. The following extract from a letter to the Higher Powers in our office, came to me this week with 2/- for the balance to the funds:—"Give the -Bushies- and congratulate Aunt Bessy's Cornerites on the magnificent result of their 1936 effort. You never know what you can do till you try ! '• ' Aunt I3essy has to thank Miss Nellie Shanley of Moyu, Victoria, for both e ncouragements, and while holding fast to the cash, has much pleasure in handing on the praise to the co-operators who gained her the Objective. IN MEMORIAM OLIVE FRANCIS FOOTE A letter has been received from Mrs, 0. .1. Foote, recently of Higginsville, telling of the death last November of her daughter, Olive. R.I.P. Olive was on the Correspondence List , and as papers and books are still being received addressed to the deceased, Aunt Bess- trusts this will come under the notice of the sender, as there is no further need to direct on literature. Mrs, Foote desires to thank the unknown friend wilco was so faithful in her remembrance of her little girl, and asks the prayers of the Cornerites for the happy repose of her soul. R.I.P.

Kevin has gone to Maylands so we have a quiet house as he is always playing cowboys and shooting toy guns. I am used to Katanning now and like it very much. We will be going back to school in about two weeks' time and then I will be kept busy. We have a Bushies Schoot here every year and quite a number of children come to it. I took Brian to the pictures on Saturday and he has been talking about them ever since. I have five dolls and their names are Jean.

Dear Aunt Bessy,—I have just been. to Pinjarra Convent for the Bushies' School,, and it was a lovely fortnight, I made my First Holy Communion and was confirmed. Sister told me I could write to you and become one of your nephews. I was eight years' old on January 22 and got a cricket set and t wo telegrams. I was playing cricket with Father Winston and got a nasty hit on the face with a hard ball and I broke two of my second teeth, so that wasn't a nice birthday present. Best wishes from, KENNETH VINCENT HANNABY Dear Kenneth.Thank you for your nice letter of introduction and I hope it will be luckier for you than your introduction to the cricket ball. The best thing to do now is to pray you will get two new teeth because some people do get three lots. I know a gentleman who got fourteen lots but he had to pay about £70 to the dentist for them, so you try your prayers first, I am delighted to have you for we all congratulate a nephew, and you on the. many joys you had while a t the convent. AUNT BESSY Man jimup. Dear Aunt Bessy,—I received your letter when I returned from Collie.

Saturday, February 6, 1937. That is where Owen and I went for our holidays. We had a jolly time the fortnight we were there. We were really at Cardiff which is several miles from Collie, and there is a mine there. The river is only a short distance from our friend's house ,so we went for swims very often. My friend has many musical instruments and the grape vines are also very plentiful throughout the district. I hope you are in the best of health. Your most sincere friend, VERA KELLY. Dear Vera,—Tiddles said to ask you why didn't you play one of those musical instruments when you were near the mine as she is sure all the nuggets of gold would have been charmed out of their hiding place, and we might all have been able to rich quickly, but Wet Blanket says you were wise not to think of anything except enjoying yourself when you were on holidays. I hope this _.'ear is going to see you get that Scholarship, and I won't forget a prayer for Your success. AUNT BESSY. Ka t rine. Dear Aunt Bessy.—I am Jimmy Watson. Will you have me for a nephew? (I will, even though your name turns out to be Johnny Walker! ) I am seven years old and the baby of the family, but I made my First Communion in December. I am having a holiday with Billie and Albert Rowles in the country. I have been picking mulberries and riding the horses. I have to close now so as to have a game of cricket.—Your would-be nephew, JIMMY 'WATSON. Dear Jimmy,—Welcome into our 1937 Page, and I hope you will turn out a true-blue nephew. You.are lucky to be haying your holiday in the country, as one can have much more fun than in the city and riding horses is better any da'y than merely going for a ride in a motor car. A UNT BESSY. Mundijong• Dear Aunt Bessy,—This letter is to t ell you I have been down to the Bushies' School at Pinjarra, and was C onfirmed on Sunday by His Grace Archbishop Prendiville. Mammy and Daddy say, Aunt Bessy, that if you had a fairy carpet and could have brought all your Cornerites down to see the 27 boys and 23 girls last Sunday, and let them have listened to all the nice things the Archbishop said about Father Russell, the Sisters, and themselves too, you would get £1000 by Easter, I am now Edward Alexander. If you are over at South Perth any time, Sister Florentine or Sister Anselm would be glad to see you. One day we had a cricket match. Father got us two cricket balls and bats from the club. I was, on Father's side and we won by a lot of runs. Dr. McMahon and Father Winston came down one day and examined us. Send me a • ar(! and I will fill it for you.

any earthly family or person could ever be, and that is Our Divine Lord, and the Sacrament of Confirmation will help you to keep to Him with greater loyalty and fidelity if you act up to all you have learnt at the recent Holiday School. Magic carpets and wishing mantles don't seem to be on sale anywhere in Perth, but next week we all hope to read about the great doings at Pinjarra so that will be the next best thing to having been there. .AUNT BESSY. Nunyle. Dear Aunt Bessy,—It is time I wrote and thanked you for all those Masses and Holy Communions you had offered. for us, but I was a bit stunned after reading that you really got the Thousand after all, so I had to wait until I had recovered. I hope You will have a happy New Year. GERARD. Dear Gerard,—Judging by the first month of the year 1937 will be happy if uneventful, as I haven't had one thrill since I counted up our cash for 1936, and as I have never swooned or fainted in my life I can't even know what it feels like to be suffering a recovery from such things, nor can I suffer from a recovery after the Thousand either as I didn't have it long enough tor it to !tun me. AUNT BESSY. Dear Aunt Bess2.-,—We are on holidays. We are so pleased you got Your Thousand. Oh, Aunt Bessyl We have a darling baby brother; he :s such a love and he is three months old. He can smile ever so nice; he is lovely and fat and likes us to nurse him. His name is John Paul, We all went to Midnight Mass from here. even Peter, who is only six kept awake, but we were all tired when we got home. I will try and write regularly this year. MARY ROWLES. Dear Mary,—It is very nice to think some of my nieces have made their correspondence to the Corner one of their New Year resolutions, and 'yours is all the more commendable because of having such a nice fat baby brother whose smile would entice one to forget e verything else.

HAPPY DAYS
My Dear -Four.—The best of gre.etings to each of you for your coming birthdays which are near enough now to be making you all expectant of what they will bring to you. Sometimes birthdays bring things we never e xpect, as was the case with one of my nephews when he got hit with a cricket ball and lost two of his newly risen second teeth, but if we make a habit of saying our Morning Offering, and if we mean what we say, then we will accept everything that comes our way if not exactly with a thrill, at least with courage and resignation, though it takes a lot of resignation as well as courage to smile when you lose t wo teeth on your birthday without their ever having had a chance to ache properly. Two among you have been very true to. the Bushies and the Corner, and two, alas seem to have forgotten us quite, so we hope if the last two examine their consciences and feel a bit uncomfortable about them, they will write and promise never to neglect us again, for otherwise when the Birthday Book goes in for inspection, some of the critics may say "What are all these names for when we never see them in the Page?" and I would feel very awkward trying to justify my heart.

ancient Law "No one among those born of women has ever risen who is greater than John." Still, such is the superiority of the Church over the Synagogue, that Jesus adds: "And, notwithstanding, the least of all in the Kingdom of Heaven is greater than John the Baptist ;" whereby He would teach us that the lowest place by His side is to be preferred before the highe§t rank Moses. among the discip: It is this new reign of the Christ on earth "that all the Prophets had foretold, until John," and for which John himself "the new Elias." had made ready all things with such lofty zeal. His toils and trouble had not been in vain, for at this very hour all Judea x'as flocking to Jesus. "Already men were taking this His Kingdom by storm, and in dense throngs were hastening to the assault." This declaration surprised the listeners, and was quite differently received. "The people and the publicans. baptised by John, acknowledged the justice and the wisdom of these divine counsels ; but the Pharisees and the Doctors of the Law. who had disdained the baptisms of the Precursor, now gave token of their contempt for the de-signs of God in their regard." Whereupon Jesus addressed to them these r(proachful words.— "To what shall I compare the men of this generation? To what. indeed can they be likened?" He added: "They Are like children seated in the market-place. N'ho cry to their companions. 'We have played for you on the flute, we have sung and you have not danced. We have chanted sorrowful h ymns and you have not wept. you have not even beat your 1;reasts." "John has come among you neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say. 'He is possessed by the devil;' the Son of Man comes eating and drinking. and you say. 'This is a fellow who loves good cheer and wine, a friend of publicans and s inners.'" PHARISAIC PETTISHNESS Those words of the Master must have made the Pharisees and the Scribes wince and writhe under the justice of the mortifying rebuke: for it was in the presence of all the people that He thus charged them with cherishing childish caprices. and of insisting pettishly that everything must bend to suit their humors,— at one time complaining- of John because, in their hours of plea. sure and happiness. his life seemed too stern and austere: and then again, displeased with Jesus. W hose condescension and charity was a scandal in their eves. A fter this severe censure, the Lord proclaimed that although such A'as the state of this unbelieving generation, yet a time w ould come, and it was even now upon them, when "Wisdom would find her children. who would both defend and justify her." He might indeed have pointed out such sons of the Eternal Wisdom. as they stood there in the presence of His enemies. They were the Apostles. those lowly and humble men who surrounded Him, and who were vet to become triumphant apologists of the New Reign.

Catholicism Versus Communism
CONSULT.
\ \.. R. TITTERTON
COMMUNISM IS MILITARIST It is a strange thing that some .)eople who call themselves Pac i.st also call themselves Communists. Now a Communist cannot be a Pacifist. But to begin with we must be certain what we mean by Pac ifist. We mean a man Who hold s that never on any account should one nation or class make war with another. How far the Communist is from this position is shown by the fact that his main method of progress from Capitalism to comradeship is a bloody soci al r evolution. The only way to deal the "bourgeoisie" is, first to terrorise, and then to exte rminate them.

The Walled City of Nuremberg ti
OR the artist and the lover of the old world Nuremberg remains a mediaeval city a city of history and legend, a city of the soul, and a meeting place of art and industry. She is like Venice in this, as in not a little of her history, that she exercises an indefinable fascination e ver our hearts no less than over our intellects. About those walled towns (. 1Y REV IOHN Nuremberg and Rothenburg, there is a subtle flavour, indefinable, exquisite. s wastikas were still lining the streets, To know something of the story of and grouped on the parade ground Nuremberg brings the abiding charm where Herr Hitler reviewed an army of association.

The that so view up and down the street t he wife, locked up while her master was out, might see what was happening outside; or perhaps, some rare old woodwork on doors and windows. It seemed to me that burgher vied with burgher in the mural embellishments of their houses. And at many elbows I caught glimpses of the river Pegnits, with houses dipping into it. :Again and again I crossed the many bridges over the Pegnitz, whose banks are overhung by quaint old houses, with projecting roofs of red tiles, high peaked gables. and frequently adorned with oriel windows. Later as I looked down from the castle I saw a topsyturvy town as one might imagine in fairy land. No wonder Nuremberg s warms with painters. This old town must be a continual stimulus to etchers. for one might capture some reflection of its quaintness on canvas, I ut to paint it in words is too difficult for me. Then you come upon a hundred crooked little streets and narrow alleys, framing entrancingly picturesque vistas. Many a doorway of a house that looks unpretentious opens on a large quadrangle with open winding staircases and broad, projecting bal. conie. highly ornamented. The cimrtyards of the homes of Albert Durer, and IIans Sachs are particularly fine. To find a well in a courtyard is a sign of opulence.

The Charm of a Mediaeval Town
And the most startling thing is to find ipodern life lived in homes amid surroundings that did the same service during the Middle Ages. It is a shock to see undergarments that we have learned to know of as very modern through a mediaeval stringing out gable window, or suspended from a window sill adorned with the coat of arms of some burgher prince merchant in Nuremberg some few days azis' annual parade. The
k
T. MeMAHON.) same hands that carved the most splento did cathedral stalls were ready lavish equal care on simple domestic utensils, while the simple artisan was filled with the ambition to turn out work truly artistic, hoping some day by carefully studying the master, to produce a inasterpiece of his own. To e aarantee the quality and soundness of goods an inspectors council was established to thoroughly examine everything and to impose punishment on inferior work. In 1456 two men were burnt alive at Nuremberg for having sold adulterated wine. How would the modern publican like that? The guilds demanded that the ap prentice should live with the master, who was to teach him the trade, and see that he attended Church. On the conclusion of his apprenticeship he had to travel for several years, learnMg all he could of his trade. On his return he worked under the master. and at the same time planned some piece of work which should admit him to the rank of master, So was Albert Darer trained, and so he toiled till the end. Apprenticed to a goldsmith Albert felt drawn towards paintingUnfortunately his own city, in the days of her poverty and foolishness, sold his pictures and drawings, now prized in the great art galleries, In his pie. lures one appreciates the Nurember.:
atmosphere, for example, in the "Birth of the Virgin" we see inside the Durer, where the family home of the carved coffers, the solid tables, spacious window seats, the carefully wrought metal ware—all solid and :imple. with no ostentation. For subjects these guild artists rarely went ,.utside the Gospel, which they interpreted in terms of Nuremberg life and dress. Their .art was the expression of their meditation. As we look at his portraits of himself, and no man except Rembrandt has painted himself so often, we see a face sweet, benign and trustful. Painting was not considered in Nuremberg as- equal to carving, and Durer was driven to execute his three best engra-ings to meet the demands of an angry wife, whose extravagance had to be paid for. aLAM KRAFFT'S MASTERPIECE
IAA us to the church of St. Laurence, t he church of the Nleistersingers, to appreciate one work in stone that shows how truly artistic these old guilds were. There remains one of t he ou t chairs wherein the Master sat each Sunday to receive donations A from the members of his guild. A ct in front was an open invitation to each journeyman to support his own' guild, Adam Krafft has left his chief memorial in a wonderful Monstrance, "the Miracle of German Art." We see on the pedestal of his masterpiece the figure of the master, wearing an apron, his tools in his hand as he supports his beautiful creation, his assistants grouped around. The pillars of the balustrade are adorned with eight figures of Saints. Above the receptacle, intended for the reservation of the Sacrament, rises a spire like a ishop's crozier, soaring to the roof until it forms a crook, to emphasise the artist's faith that .no work in stone co:iid fully represent the life of the Saviour, so it bows its head in humble re,ignation. The minute carving of •-•enes representing the life of Christ are worthy of careful scnitinv. But apart from the details of the ,carving is the grace of the fretted Gothic pinnacle of finest filigree stonework t hat seizes our imagination. Tapering. or rather mounting airily on high, it carries the eye up to the vaulting of the roof, soaring like the notes of a flute-like voice, expressing some deeply spiritual al)iration. Higher, still higher it springs from the earth like Shelley's skylark, but it fades riot from view. For when. some sixty feet from the ground, the roof checks its further growth. it bows its beautiful head, an:I like a lily on its stalk, terminates in a pendant flower. It is indeed a miracle of rare device, so slender, so graceful, so unearthly, overcrowding the limitations of stone. Back to the life-size kneeling figure of the master, with cap, apron, and mallet fell my eyes in deepest gratitude :cr this exquisite Gothic poem in stone.
