Anglican Bishop Repudiates Confreres Evidence of Violent Anti-Religious Campaign in Spain "1 trust that the report of the Church of England and Free Church party that recently visited Spain to investigate alleged anti-clerical atrocities will not be regarded as representative of general Anglican opinion," the Anglican Bishop of Gibraltat ( Dr. Buxton) is reported .to have said last Monday. The forme' report stated that the party, which visited Barcelona, Valencia and Madrid. had been impressed by the absence of anti-God propaganda or molestation of Protestant churches or • Am..IN.. 401.1\

"Ample Provocation For Revolt" pastors, while many Catholic cht.rches had been destroyed and priests killed. While a strong anti-clerical movement existed, there was no evidence of Godless propaganda. Toleration would be assured if in the future Catholic leaders separated religion from improper political activity. \ 41111bak/I011
Young Writers Return Glad to be back in Australia, even after the experience of "flatting it" in London. Misses Elizabeth and Mary Durack. who were jointly responsible for the books, "All About" and "Chumuna." depicting life among the aborigines in the North-West. arrived at Fremantle by the Italian motorship Esquilino on Thursday, 25th ult. Although it is only 10 months since they left for England, it is more than three years since they were in Perth, the trip to Europe having been made on a meat boat from Wyndham. While abroad, the two sisters interviewed an English publisher regarding the publication of their books overseas. but so far have come to no definite arrangement.

"We wont write a travel book. We will spare you that," Miss Mary Durack laughed when questioned concerning their experiences. There was plenty of material abroad, she said. but Australia seemed to be their line. They went away believing it to be the best country in the world. and they were still firmly of that "We want to do anopinion. other book by Christmas," said the young writer. adding that a start would probably be made when they returne0 their home at Argyle Station. in the Kim1)erleys in a few weeks' time.

Dr. Buxton said. "Anglicans who have lived in Spain all their ives almost unanimously repudiate the report. I have seen the steady deterioration of the Government in the last four years; also the rise of a violent anti-religious campaign. I witnessed in April, 1936, the burning of the historic church of Niebla by Communists. This was one of many hundred cases of destruction the Government was unable or unwilling to prevent.
There was therefore ample provocation for revolt." •

Among many excavations of old Roman buildings was an old Roman theatre, which had since been reconstructed and was to be opened by Mussolini on February 16. The sisters also called at Massawa. the Eritrean port for Mussolini's "new empire" in Abyssinia. Here were signs of the great work of deyel opulent being carried out in the interior. A large number of Italian colonists left the Esquilino at Massawa and all were wildly enthusiastic about the future.
A Paris building, once the home of Stayisky, the French financier, whose suicide caused a political crisis two years ago, has been opened as the new headquarters of the French Confederation of Catholic Workers. Scandal attached to the Stayisky crash so affected the public mind that since its exposure two years ago the imposing house in Place Saint Georges had remained unoccupied. Last year's social crisis added greatly to the Catholic confederation's prestige and the consequent great increase in membership necessitated the removal from Rue Cadet tJ larger pre-

SUMMARY OF THE REGULATIONS FOR FAST AND ABSTINENCE. (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 two ounces or three, at which a little butter may be taken. (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 Week, 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 Wgdnesday 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, or 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. Owing to the special circumstances of Australia, the time for complying with the Paschal Precept of Communion, extends from Ash 'Wednesday to the Octave of the Feast of SS. Peter and Paul. CELEBRATION OF MARRIAGE. 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. COLLECTION FOR THE BUSHIES. I wish to remind the clergy that the annual collection for the above-named fund 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 offerings 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.

IS DICKENS READ TO-DAY? It has been said so often that Dickens is not read now-a-days that Mr. Alfred Noyes has been analysing the statement to ascertain the true popularity of the great English novelist of last century. He finds that during the last two years alone 12,000,000 copies of the works of Dickens were sold. Dickens. he added, though born so long ago as 1812, is still more alive than many people who are supposed to be alive. The assertion that Dickens is not read was dealt with at a conference of librarians in England, where one of the speakers stated that librarians, the people who actually handle books, find Dickens still among the most popular novelists. Even those who may find Dickens a little dull at times will probably admit that no other novelist has created so many characters who seem real in everyday thought, and that no other novelist has added so many phrases to our language. And after all, that is something which the smart novelists of to-day would like to he able to claim. ADVERTISERS.

Saturday, March 6, 1937.
the Gaiety Theatre, Dublin, to hear a lecture by the Rev. Owen F. Dudley on "The Shackles of 'Wedlock." The chief points in the paper were driven home with impressive force, coupled with inimitable wit, appreciation of which was expressed in frequent outbursts of applause and laughter. His scathing attack oil the advocates of divokce was a powerful indictment of their hypocrisy. His brilliant vignettes of Hollywood's methods of misrepresenting courtship, which he said is responsible for much of the modern distortion of ideas concerning marriage, and of the evils of the cult of the body as represented in the beauty craze of to-day, showed his competence to meet and dispose of modern attackers on their own ground. Menace to Morals in England. Having prefaced the lecture proper with some humorous remarks concerning the meaning of the word "shackles," Father Dudley referred to the growing disregard of Christian marriage that is evident everywhere outside the Catholic Fold. The fact wan that the advocates of divorce based their arguments on hard cases in married life and on sentiment rather than on normal married life and the obvious stability of social life secured by the marriage bond. If a Bill, now under consideration in England in regard to new grounds for divorce became law, he said, it might mean the official death blow to what was left of Christian morality outside the Catholic Church there:- The giving of further facilities would but aggravate those vices and open the way for still more facilities until "temperamental differences, breakfast-table moods. failing attractions and artificial teeth provided grounds for divorce, and they finally arrived at the question: 'Why the marriage bond at all?'" Deadly Logic. The lecturer was deadly logical when he flouted a statement that the "Marriage bond creates a hotbed of vice." by an analogy in regard to the civil law against murder. "One might as well say," he said, "that civil laws created murderers because some people refuse to obey them. History and experience of life have proved beyond question that the Christian marriage bond is not only. a powerful deterrent from vice, hut an equally powerful incentive to virtue. The shackles of wedlock ,like the chains of criminals, may become fetters when God's moral law is rejected hut never when the moral law is observed. "There is a certain very obviOtis hypocrisy about these de-

than its upholders—in other words, more Christian than Catholics. They make it appear that the Catholic Church almost maliciously chains together unhappy husbands and wives, as though she were the enemy of human happiness—and this in spite of the fact that her laws allow husbands and wives to live apart when there is a grave reason for doing so." Such was the hypocrisy of those who pretended to Christianity while rejecting it and who preferred soft sayings to hard facts. Mr. Wells's Elysium. The modern world's attitude to the Christian marriage bond was exemplified in "The Shape of Things to Come," by Mr. H. G. Wells, in which that author pictured a day when all Christian morality would have been cast aside and in the person of one of his characters declared "we now love as we like." Like many other pagan writers, Mr. Wells had used the wrong term. Free love, which was illicit love, was not love. Passion, license, lust, were not love. "Love is that sacred, mutual giving in married life, the relationship for which the marriage bond stands. . . . Free love is conspicuously devoid of all the ideals that married love exalts—ideals of 'self-sacrifice, ideals of faithfulness, ideals of a love that will never Illustrating the point that human beings themselves and not the marriage bond were to blame for unhappy marriages, Father Dudley asked how could husbands and wives whose lives were one incessant round of going out to dinners, shows and dances, expect the happiness which should centre in the home. Neglect of the children would react inevitably on the parents. The moment they came second there was something seriously wrong. On the other hand selfsacrifice for the sake of the home and the children was a most powerful bond of union. Naturalism. The audience showed their entire agreement with Rev. Dr. Doyle, C.M., when, in proposing the vote of thanks to Father Dudley, he said the latter had excelled himself on this occasion. In seconding the vote of thanks, Dr. J. B. Magennis said that not only was self-sacrifice the one solution of the apparent difficulties of married life but it was the solution of all success in life. Putting the vote. Father Jerome said the evils that were manifest in the world to-day, particularly in Russia and in Spain, might be. summed up in the one word—naturalism.

Get your copy too! The "Catholic Worker" 'costs only one penny. The "Worker" has just completed its first year of existence, and apparently has satisfied the long-standing demand for a paper of its kind. Its success is extraordinary. Here is an extract from its anniversary number of February: ON THE WAY. Australia Will Be There! Although our pagan environment does very little to promote clear thought, the Catholic Revival is making more than satisfactory progress in Australia to-day. In each of the five capital cities of the mainland there is now the nucleus of a Catholic Intellectual movement. Libraries that cater for those who read contemporary fiction and travel literature along
with the huge output of Catholic books dealing effectively with modern problems, have made a most important contribution to Catholic thought, and have really laid the solid foundations of Catholic Action. Without such libraries it would have been almost impossible for young people to acquire together a sound knowledge of Catholic principle and the technical knowledge necessary for the transformations of the Australian environ. ment. When the time comes to assess the great work now being done, the names of the Aquinas Library of Brisbane, the Veritas Library of Perth, the Fisher and More Library of Adelaide, the Southern Cross Library of Sydney, and the Central Catholic Library of Melbourne, will be recorded as the foundation heads of Catholic thought and action. Step into any one of these libraries, some of which are as yet quite small others actually big institutions, and you will see young men and women talking and arguing, unconsciously at work creating the beginnings of what are really informal Catholic universiWorkers and students search ties. the shelves, read the magazines, get the conversational equivalent of their reading, and go out to office, factory and university, well-informed, a match for any antagonist and in many cases in a position to create an interest in things intellectual among citizens, Catholic and non-Catholic. If you doubt the progress such libraries are capable of making, it is well to remember that the parent library, the C.C.L. of Melbourne, has some 15,000 books on its shelves, receives some 30 or 40 magazines, and each week circulates over a thousand books. Most of these volumes are not fiction. Its reading rooms are thronged after w orking hours by young men and women from the specialised moveinents w11..:se experiences have already creat. ed a substantial unity of mind and purpose that is the happiest augury for Catholic Action in Australia. Each library is associated informally as a rule with some such specialised movement. Each state has a contribution to make different from, yet complementing and completing the work of other libraries in other States. Catholic Street From Sydney, the Speakers spread to Melbourne. From Society Campion Melbourne, the spread to Sydney. In this way oldtime rivalries are blended in a new Unity.
With its pioneer work in the history of culture, sociology and economics, the Catholic Guild of Social Studies, Adelaide, and its special creation, the Fisher and More Library, a specialist libary, has set an example to all Australia. In Perth, the Chesterton Club, Bookshop and Society, have together in spirit and geniality set out to outstrip the Eastern States. In Brisbane, the Aquinas Library and Society goes forward quietly to fresh successes. Considering all things, Australia is already on the way. Buy C.T.S. Pamphlets.

Archiepiscopal Throne to be Completed for Easter
Letters to The Editor BOYCOTT LOCAL PRESS?
CARVED AUSTRALIAN MARBLE. An archiepiscopal throne which has been presented to His Grace Archbishop Prendiville by Mrs. J. Barrett ar. rived last week from Sydney and is now being erected in St. Mary's Cathedral, under the supervision of a craftsman from Anselm Odling and Sons, Ltd., of Sydney; the company which carried out the work of cutting and carving the throne to the design of Mr. M. F. Cavanagh, F.R.I.B.A. The throne has been executed in an Australian marble which was selected after a careful examination of both Australian and foreign marbles, and which is considered to be equal in colour and quality to the best Italian marble. It is being erected against the northern wall of the sanctuary and will be an imposing addition to the treatment of the east end of the Cathedral.

WORLD AFFAIRS OF CATHOLIC INTEREST.
EASTER IN THE KILLS Young Catholics Invited. A prospectus has been issued by the Young Australia League, inviting boys attending primary and secondary schools, including Catholic schools, to take part in an Easter outing at Arahien during the holidays. The location is in the charming valley so picturesquely described by Father McMahon in his widely read book, "Rambers from Clare." A Catholic officer of the League, an old Christian Brothers' boy, Mr. John Kiely, who has been associated with the League for over ten years, will take special care of the Catholic lads participating and see that the rules pertaining to abstinence and attendance a t church are observed. The • oys will attend Mass on Easter Sunday at the little chapel at Arrnadale, where Father Finnegan will celebrate Printed matter containing full details can be obtained on application to the Young Australian League, corner Murray and Irwin-streets, or by telephoning B1891.

Sir,—In view of the deplorable lies that are served up by our local Press, and their own bigoted and one-sided version of the Spanish crisis, it is high time we, as Catholic citizens, organised a thorough boycott of these papers. One would not mind so much if only they would at least be fair and truthful to both sides, but of course this is seemingly impossible owing to their apparent hatred of our Church and all things Catholic. All the lying cables evricerning the so-called atrocities camrn mitted by the Rebels are featured in glaring headlines in our yellow press, which is vile propaganda endeavouring to poison the minds of our good neighbours and citizens against the Catholic Church, In the name of justice why have they not told our fellow citizens of the diabolical, abominable and disgraceful deeds committed by such scum as the piesent so-called Government run by the Communists and directed from Russia. Why have they not told the people of the thousands of convents kind churches sacked and burned to the ground; thousands of priests cruelly tortured before being put to death in such manner as crucifixion, burning, and burial alive; thousands of the purest virgins, our holy nuns, stripped naked and made parade before jeering mobs. How sweet death must be to these glorious women! When I think of my own wife and diildren it sends a cold shudder the at through my whole being thought of what could happen in our own fair land of Australia if these fiends were let loose. Yet this is the mob the daily press champions.

The worst perfidy of Godless Communism, say the Hierarchy, is that it blames the Catholic Church for the present depressed conditions. The whole world knows, they say, that the Catholic Church does not confine her activities to charitable activity only, but has always striven for justice in public and especially in economic life. It is not the fault of the Church that she could•not break the bonds of "liberalist" economic measures, and the names of working such champions of men's rights as Father Kolping-, Bishop Ketteler, Cardinal Manning. St. John Bosco and many are famous. The world can never forget what has been done for the benefit of the working classes by the Popes, especially by Leo XIII. and Pius XI.; the "Rerum Novarum" roused the conscience of statesmen and employers, pointing out the injustice of the economic system to the poor working classes, and "Ouadragesimo Anno" has discussed the same subject in the light of modern developments. The revolutionary elements, the Hierarchy say, promise a paradise on earth to their followers but where they come into power death has a rich harvest, there is war, bloodshed and gen eral misery, so that the persecution of Christianity by Godless Communism is much worse than that of Nero, Diocletian and others.

They had a vague idea that it meant that a child could only do a simple addition sum when surrounded with the smell of inBut they thought simcense. ple addition much more simple than it is. When the Catholic controversialist said to them, "Even the alphabet can be learnt in a Catholic way," they thought he was a raving bigot. They thought he meant that nobody must ever read anything but a Latin missal. But he meant what he said. And what he said is thoroughly sound psychology. There is a Catholic view of learning the alphabet. For instance, it prevents you from thinking that the only thing that matters is learning the alphabet; or from despising better people than yourself, if they do not happen to have learnt the alphabet.—G.

The Church and Fascism The success of Communism is, in no small measure, due to a t horough understanding and exploitation of mob psychology. Perhaps the most characteristic note of the modern mind, apart from the distaste for discipline, is the aversion to thought. It is precisely this rejection of reason and the reliance on intuition, emotion and "expert" advice that has wrecked non-dogmatic religion and liberal politics and has made the modern world easy prey for superstition and oppression. The social question, which is uppermost in all minds because it affects all most tangibly, had been so obscured by iniquitous "systems" and irrational reform programme, that it lent itself admirably to psychological treatment by Communism. In the midst of the universal confusion, Communism triumphantly announced a solution of terrifying simplicity. There were only two major points of social evil: War and FasThey did not say how this was so. They simply procism. claimed it and have not ceased to repeat it. It was not, of course, mentioned that War excluded class struggle which lay at the root of Communist theory and practice, or that Fascism was a hotchpotch of all non-Communist elements, including what is left of democracy. Whereas everybody knows that the solution of no real problem is actually simple, this facile catchword was seized upon with devouring eagerness by the most surprising people. It was given out like an eternal truth by all classes from debutantes to Anglican deans. But Communism had another trump card to play. Catholics, the world over, dedicated by their religion to the upholding of reason, declined to be deceived by a slogan which was simThey resisted the movements against War and ply a pretext. Immediately Communism declaimed tragically that Fascism. This absurd lie has Catholicism was in league with Fascism. been broadcast ad nauseum in recent issues of the Communist organ in this State—the "Workers' Star." It is also interesting to note that the same tactics have been employed by the capitalist press. An inexplicable alliance to the plain man! What is the relation of Catholicism to Fascism? Some are ready enough to reply that the Church is a Divine Institution with a mission purely spiritual, having no truck with political regimes. While the supernatural aspect of the Church is unquestionable, it is nevertheless apparent that to a greater or lesser extent, She is bound up in Her external ministry by the exigencies of time and Whatever Her dominance in the far past in the civil place. sphere, during the past century of Liberalism the Church has played a negligible part in the formation of the secular environments in which, and frequently against which, She had to contend. If the world comes finally into two sharply divided camps representing the authoritarian States and those of anarchy, it will then be time for the Church to choose and the choice will not be difficult. At the moment it is ridiculous even to think about Fascism in general terms. The National Socialism of Germany is quite distinct from Italian Fascism, while even between the Corporate State of Portugal and Italy there are doctrinal discrepancies. One thing is certain, Catholicism and Communism are radically irreconcilable in philosophy. There are elements both in German and Italian nationalism which are opposed to Catholicism. But it is not inconceivable that modifications could be made without altering the essential trend of their social experiments. There is, however, no fear of the Church's committing Herself to any political system. As in the past, so to-day, She is often in the position of having to make to Herself friends of the mammon of iniquity. At this historical moment, moreover, no one could blame a certain amicability on the part of the Church towards the Corporate States. Under Communism, Her work will be annihilated, while under Capitalism the very air suffocates spiritual endeavour. In conclusion, "let us clear our minds of cant, even if we hate Fascism."
Strict Neutrality It is quite appropriate that now that the sham of non-intervention in the Spanish Civil War is being given a brave front, the sham of non-propagandist methods should he maintained by our secular press. Having exhausted itself during the past eight months with the most malignant publicity in favour of the Spanish Reds, the "Daily News" announced on Tuesday evening with the greatest aplomb that it was taking no sides in the Spanish Civil War. By way, presumably, of substantiating this claim, it pi 'nited a long letter accompanied with mutely heart-rendering illustrations, from a young Leftist supporter describing aspects of the

war. As was to be expected the writer believes in the Communist cause, while denying the accuracy of describing the Left as "Red." One would need to be a conoisseur of some ability to discern the exact depths of crimson or the faint shades of pink that go to make up the Government ranks. There is no reason to challenge the bona fides of the writer. When one considers how the smug conservatives at home have been deceived by Red propaganda, is it to be wondered at that young men on the battlefield have been likewise deluded? How many of the soldiers who fought in the Great War had the faintest inkling of the issues at stake? The writer's account of the rebels' conduct of the war is excusable. We find it difficult to be astonished to learn that the enemy used ammunition. Presumably a Catholic, the writer laments that Velasquez's "Las Meninas" was destroyed by incendiary bombs. The spirit that pronipts him to end his letter with a prayer for the soul of his friend does not move him to deplore the outrage done by his confreres to the shrine of the Sacred Heart on the Hill of the Angels There is something about the whole business that does not ring true However, as the "Daily News" stated, it is an example of strict neutrality in propagandist tactics.
Social Reform The Encyclical "Rerum Novarum" bids fair to become the world's most widely discussed document on social reform. It is the official Catholic alternative to Communism. It condemns class warfare, and commends the working together of employers and employed for the common good. It upholds property, while it cor.demns the heaping up of riches in the hands of a few, and urges that governments should do their utmost to enable workmen to become owners. This it is hoped may be achieved by a reformation of Capitalism. Some thinkers there are who hold that Capitalism is beyond reform and urge the formation of the Catholic Corp: rate State, or preach the gospel of Distributism. But the advocacy of either of these theories does not necessarily exclude the idea of Capitalism They are quite consistently attainable within the limits of the present system. The Corporate State is the medieval Guild system, with a special application to modern industrial pursuits, while Distributism would distribute ownership so widely as to give all families ownership of the means of emstence. Neither of these schemes need necessarily conflict with Capitalism, or with Catholic social philosophy as outlined in "Rerum NoNrarum." A prominent social reformer in Britain has recently been quoted as stating that a complete change of heart i§ the first essential of a so,-ial revival, and that this change of heart must begin with the Government. That would assuredly he an ideal situation in which Church and State, as in the medieval days, co-operated for th•!. spirqual and social welfare of the nation. But we must not expect such an easy way out of our difficulties, in these days of irreligion and social irresponsibility. It is true that Pope Leo XIII. did urge that Governments should do their utmost to give better opportunities of ownership for workmen, but the Holy Father knew quite well that it would be futile to rest the initial hopes of t eform on the goodwill of governments. He appealed to the family unit and the individual private conscience to put into p,-actice in its own immediate circles the principles of "Rerum Novarum." With the leavening influence of sufficient family units, the State might ultimately be led to protect officially the inviolable tights of all its individual units. The change of heart is looked for. from within, and must have its origin in an individual instead of in a collective effort. A Government rarely raises itself above the level of the masses that support it, and its reformatiox is stil less frequently undertaken as a self-imposed task.

Speaking on behalf of unions associated with the trades union moyeemnt, Mr. P. J. Trainer said the new Acting President was no stranger to the position, having filled it about 11 years ago.

I realise, of course, that I am only a temporary occupant of this position and that my duty will be, with the assistance of two very able colleagues, to attempt to carry on the business of this Court in a manner somewhat approaching that to which you have been accustomed."

KALGOORLIE Holy Name Society. The meeting of the prefects of the Holy Name Society of Kalgoorlie and Boulder, and of others interested in the St. Patrick's Day celebrations, was held in Boulder on Sunday evening last. It was a meeting representative of the two towns, and if enthusiasm in the initial stages counts for anything the success of the events, spiritual and mundane, concerned with the celebration of Ireland's national Saint is assured. The first business of the evening was the appointing of a president, which office was filled by Mr. P. J. Russell. Messrs. J. Johnston and F. Steele were appointed hon. secretaries, After much discussion it was resolved to hold the men's gen eral Communion in each parish, there to be but one Communion breakfast Following on the discussions re tht annual Communion and Breakfast, the matter of the sports and concert was introduced by the president, It was decided to hold the sports meeting on the Kalgoorlie Racecourse on Wednesday, March 17, when the usual attractions will be provided for the enter tainment of young and old. In the evening of the same day the Irish Na tional Concert will be held in the Kalgoorlie Town Hall. The concert programale was left in the hands ot Mr. P. Johnson. After arranging to meet again next Sunday in All Hallows Hall, the meeting disbanded. Social. The friends of Mr. J. Henningan will regret to learn he is an inmate of St. John of God's Hospital, Kalgoorlie. . Another inmate of St. John's is Mr. His P. Moran, of Kunnanalling. friends will learn with pleasure that he is progressing satisfactorily. DEATH OF MR. LAWLER. The news that Mr. J. J. Lawler was seriously ill in St. John of God's Hospital cast a gloom over his large circle of friends, and when it became known on Monday that he had passed to his eternal reward, gloom changed to sorrow. The deceased gentleman had taken a prominent part in all the labour activities of the Goldfields, and was always to the forefront in all Catholic matters. Mr. J. J. Lawler was born in Sydney, New South Wales, 73 years ago, and after spending some years in the employment of Anthony Horden in the Eastern capital, travelled Westwards, For some time he was in employment at the coast, and in 1901 came to Kalguorlie as assistant accountant to KalLater he goorlie Electric Tramways. was in the employ of the Goldfields Water Supply, and still later of the Kalgoorlie Abattoirs. During the last fourteen years he has been secretary of the Eastern Goldfields District Council of the Australian Labour Party, a position which he filled with distinc: tion to the time of his death. The late Mr. Lawler was keenly interested in the friendly society movement, and was a prominent past president of the H.A.C.B.S. and of the Kalgoorlie Friendly Society Associa. tion, of which he was a trustee at the time of his death. He was throughout life a staunch adherent of the Labour platform, though his retiring nature prevented his seeking public honours. He was a recipient of the King's jubilee medal. He was ever a practical Catholic, who interested himself in all Catholic functions. Though his time VI SS ever much occupied, he always responded

At the most recent meeting of St. Patrick's Sports Committee, it was decided to place on record a recognition of the years of faithful service rendered by deceased, Every Catholic school, our hospital, and our churches owe much to the unsolfish and unostentatious efforts of the deceased. Eloquent testimony to the esteem in which Mr. Lawler was held was evidenced by the representative gathering at his funeral, when all shades of political opinion and business interests Requiem Mass were represented. was celebrated for the repose of his soul on Tuesday, February 23, and at four o'clock the funeral cortege moved Very Rev. from St. Mary's Church.

The Kalgoorlie and Boulder branches of the Holy Name Society have decided to make this their annual function and through their Spiritual Directors, Rev. Dr. Goody, of Boulder, and Rev. Father Grennan, of Kalgoorlie made an eloquent appeal to the Catholic men of both parishes to take this splendid opportunity of fulfilling the Easter obligation. It is confidently expected that every man will on that morning attend his duty. The breakfast will be held in the Boulder School Hall, and the arrangements, in the hands of an able committee, consisting of Messrs.

The spot he chose was just outside the town of Chalcis in Eastern inscription Some in Syria. rather lame Greek trimeters have recently been recovered from the Of course the mental vicinity. associations we form about hermits and deserts are often laughSo for ably wide of the mark. that matter is the whole modern idea about the spirit of expiation and asceticism that informChesterton, in ed the period. his Life of St. Francis, with his inevitable penetration, makes really fine work of explaining the corruption into which the ancient world had collapsed, and the clean, vigorous and manly attempt of the ascetics to restore purity and freshness to a universe that was rotten with the filth and litter of the ancient gods. Again, St. Jerome's desert was not at all the series of Sahara sand dunes we call up in connection with the French Foreign Legion books. Still it was desolate enough in the sense of being barren rocky land. He lived in some cave on a hillside. It must have been quite a roomy place, for he had his whole library transported there and fitted up. Also he kept scribes and copyists with him. Around him was not the howling wilderness we sometimes imagine, but several hundred other hermits engaged in something of the same way. Indeed, there were so many, and some of them apparently such imperious and unwelcome visitors, that after two years Jerome had had enough. The desert was not lonely enough for him. But before he left he had done two very significant things. He had written a life of the first hermit, St. Paul. a 'beautiful little thing something in what was later to be the manner of the Floretti of St. Francis. And, secondly, he had made "himself a master of New Testament Greek and had done good work with Hebrew. He had taken up the Hebrew when he was having a had time of it with temptations. and, in the natural order at any rate, had nearly as had a time with the Hebrew.

International Sea Apostolate Congress to be Held at Antwerp The Cardinal Primate of Belgium will preside over a Congress of Apostolatus Mans Delegates from many - countries at Antwerp in September next. The Cultural Life of the Seamen will be the central theme for discussion at this, the first A.M. Congress to be held in Belgium. Similar Congresses have been held in England, France, Holland, Germany, and Spain; this latest Congress is being organised by the Abbe Boogaers, Port Chaplain at Antwerp, in collaboration with A.M.I.C. headquarMgr. Cardyn. ters, London. founder of th;! Jociste movement, will take part in the Congress and particular attention will he devoted to the question of training the younger seamen for Catholic Action. A study club fot the latter purpose has already been formed in connection with the Antwerp Navigation School. The future officers of the Belgian marine are being mercantile trained as Catholic Action leaders in the maritime sphere. Notable Increase in Catholic Seamen's Clubs. There are now fifty-five clubs organised by Catholics for seamen, as against twelve clubs fifteen years ago, last year's additions being at Adelaide, FlushNewcastle ,Montevideo, ing (N.S.W.), New York, Portland. Ore. and Scheveneningen. New clubs are due to be opened soon at Durban and Port Elizabeth. The club at the latter port will be named after Archbishop MacSherry, who has taken a deep interest in the development of Sea Apostolate work at Algoa Bay, where the opening of a large new dock system has added greatly to the importance of the port. Harbour extensions a t Cochin. South India .also have had the effect of inaugurating Sea Apostolate work, under the direction of Mgr. Attipetty. Archbishop of Verapoly. The Port Chaplain, Father Muller, organised a reception for naval officers and men who visited the port recently. The Montevideo Club. organised by Lady Millington-Drake. and visited recently by Cardinal Cortesi, the Papal Nuncio. and Mgr. Aragaone, Arichbishop of Montevideo, is very popular with the sailors. It is typical of the deep interest taken by members of the Hiearachy in the welfare of seamen, that news of these latter developments has been communicat-

Before going to Europe he had to spend some time investigating the affairs of the diocese of Auckland on behalf of the Holy See.

"great number of similitudes," to say nothing "which could not be comprehended" by docile hearts, and "in private He explained everything to His disciples." A Solemn Warning. To them, indeed, was committed the great trust of treasuring up the truths which were denied to incredulous Jews; not that they were always to hoard this wealth in secrecy, but that they Might bring them forth at a fitting hour to be the Light of the Church—to be as a torch which is not put beneath a couch, but is set within its holder that it may light all those who enter the house; "for there is nothing hidden" in the Master's doctrine "which must not be revealed, nothing done in the shadow which shall not be brought to the light." This is why Jesus so earnestly beseeches His Apostles to listen to His words. "Pay heed to what you are hearing. Whoever has ears to hear let him hear!" And again this is the reason of His solemn warning that this great gift of wisdom is not bestowed upon them alone, but that it is to do for all; hence He threatened to take it back from such as failed to guard it faithfullv—"for it shall be given to him who hath," to him who preserves the words of the Master, "but from him who hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken away." Toward evening Jesus dismissed the throngs, and returned to His dwelling. Thither the disciples accompanied Him, and begged Him to enlighten them as to the Parable of the Cockle. Thereupon interpreting the allegory word by word. He showed plainly how the Devil is the Enemy who sows the cockle; yet at the end of the world the Angels shall gather together all the scandals, together with the evil-doers. from out the Church, casting them into the furnace of fire; w hile the just shall shine like the sun in the Kingdom of their Father.
Three Similes. To these parables Saint Matthew adds three similes which the Saviour uttered about the same time; and with these He completed the figurative description of what His Church was to become. For some 'tis a Treasure buried in a field which the toiling labourer turns up with the ploughshare; "having found it. the fellow hides it, and in his joy goes out and sells all he has that he may buy the field." For others it is the Pearl of great. price which falls into the hands Over against this picture of of a merchant who is seeking the Church's sufferings Jesus set rare gems. For all of us it is a forth the scene of its Day of Tri- Net which drags the very depths umph in even more striking con- of the sea, letting nothing escape trast. He showed how humble its meshes, ibearing mankind its beginnings, how slow its from out the fierce waves of the growth, but at the same time world up to the peaceful shores how mighty is the seed of life of eternity. "As fishers seated within it; and so He called it a on the strand collect together the Mustard Seed—the tiniest of all good fish and cast away the had, seeds, which becomes a tree in .even so shall it be at the end of which the birds of heaven find a the world.

ST. THOMAS OF AQUIN. Sunday, March 7. St. Thomas, of the noble family of Aquin, was born in 1227, and was educated from an early age by the Benedictines at Monte Cassino. In spite of strong opposition from his family he entered the Order of the Friar Preachers and went to Paris to continue his studies. There he soon showed remarkable genius for philosophy and theology. He is the undisputed master of theology and his Summa is one ( ,1 the greatest monuments of Christian genius.

ST. JOHN OF GOD. Monday, March 8. St. John of God was born in Portugal in 1495. After having been successively traveller, soldier, shepherd and merchant, he was converted and gave himself entirely to the care of the sick. He was favoured with many miracles and visions; above he is seen tending a patient revealed as Jesus Himself. He remembered Christ's words "as often as you do it unto one of these my least brethren, you do it unto Me,- and hence saw the Master in each of his patients. Pope Leo XIII. declared him patron of hospitallers and the sick, and added his name to the Litany of the Dying. "A SONG OF SUPPLICATION." "Heart of Jesus, obedient unto death." ( Litany.) Obedient Heart of Jesus! In Bethlehem's stable bleak, In Nazareth's fair cottage, Submissive, mild and meek. Each wish of Thy dear Parents. All-eager to fulfil:— The God of earth and Heav'n Obeying His creatures' will( Obedient Heart of Jesus! — With sweet humility— Accepting from Thy Father, His every wise decree. Submissive to earth's rulers, —On Thy destruction set— Nailed to the shameful gibbet, Obedient Unto Death! Obedient Heart of Jesus! To-day, A Song, we sing. Of Humble Supplication, As, to Thy Feet, we bring Our hearts, to be transformed, Within Thy Heart Divine There, teach them True Submission, And mak, them more like Thine.

SPANISH PHALANGISTS.
LITERARY DISCOVERY.
CONSULT.
The Phalangists were founded by Jose Antonia • Primo de Rivera on October 29, 1933. Their growth was slow, as at the elections of February 16, 1936, they could gather no more than three To-day they thousand votes. number in the Nationalist ranks 150,000 fighters. It was on July 19 of last year that General Franco appealed to them to join the insurrection, and conferred on them the privilege of doing their own recruiting and carrying t heir own flag (five arrows over a double yoke) next to the National banner. Their composition is characteristic: whereas the Requetes insist on their recruits being morally and religiously sound. the l'halangists admit anybody irrespective of class, opinion or conduct. so that a number of Communists and Anarchists have sought cover in their ranks and are being gradually weeded out in the course of the war if they are not quick enough in adapting themselves to the change. Carlists are mostly Navarrese and all fervent Catholics, tracliti(mal and indifferent to social m ovements; Phalangists are social revolutionaries, anti-Liberal and anti-Capitalist; and though Catholic ideals inform their pro. gramme. they (I() not necessarih r epresent all members' feelings. Their theories are a mixture of I talian Fascism and German Na. nal-Socialism on a background o f ritual and mysticism very ef. fective in their austere simplicit y. Phalangists are doing a great work for the resurrection( o f Spain. but they will be a •'handful ' after the victory.
A literary discovery such as occurs only once in a long time has been published in the Book of Margery Kempe. Colonel Butler-Bowdon, who has brought 'this old manuscript to light, dis covered it among many pre-Reformation treasures belonging to his family in Derbyshire. Among other treasures he has ecclesiastical vestments dating from the XIII. Century and various fascinating old books and manuscripts. They have not even been locked away, and many peo, ple have clipped into the Book of I\Iargery Ketnpe without recog-,. nising what it was.

Mr. Brown looked at the letter on .1e47. " We a -e orprised," it read. - C7;11 the money we have demanded o ften has not yet arrived." Turning to his secretary, he dictated reply: - Dear Sirs,—Y.m do not need to be I have not sent you the curprised inoney."
On his retirement from the army as a Lieutenant-Colonel in the Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry--he served on Lord personal staff in France during the \\Tar —he interested himself in the family treasures and soon realised that this old MS. was of most unusual interest. Expert opinions were obtained, and his surmise was very soon confirmed. In length it is ft,.11y equal toa modern novel.

Even as a piece of early English it is a marvellous discovery for students of philology. But its chief interest lies in its detailed descriptions of what she saw and did, observing t!P small details of everyday life and describing them as only a Olran would. Fragments of the MS. had been often quoted.
