A Hymn to Satan Curious Catholic, Sydney: Is it sinful to sing the Masonic hymn to Satan, by Carducci, if there is no intention of reverencing the devil, and no danger of scandal to others? I do not think that it is just to speak of "the "Masonic hymn" to Satan. Masons generally would indignantly reject the imputation that the Lodge would sanction such a thing. It may be that some blasphemous individual, who happened to be a member of a would Continental Masonic Lodge compose such a hymn. But his ideas would not necessarily be officially accepted by the Lodge. And certainly official Masonic books include nothing which could justify such a hymn being Call it called "the Masonic hymn." Carducci's hymn, if you will. As for the morality of singing blu.sphemous words—that would certainly be sinful. Even though one intends no reverence to the devil, and there is no danger of scandal to others, the reading of blasphemous books is forbidden Therefore the reading to Christians. of the blasphemous words of a hymn to the devil, and the singing of those words. would likewise be forbidden. Could one play the air of such a hymn under the conditions I have men tioned? T he use of the music, apart from the words, would not be sinful, if there were no danger of scandal to listeners who might be aware of its associations. At the same time, with so much other good music in existence, it is difficult to understand why one would wish to select music which has been employed for such a purpose.
Why Nuns Wear Rings Miss Rosaline, Qld.: Different non-Catholics have asked me why nuns wear a ring on the marriage finger. The ring, as an unbroken circle, has ever been the symbol of unbroken fidelity. When a woman marries, the wedding ring signifies that she has vowed absolute and permanent fidelNow the nun ity to her husband. also vows absolute and permanent fidelity, but not to any earthly being. She rises above all earthly planes, and consecrates herself entirely to God in a spiritual union of soul with Him. And for the purposes of this union, she follows the advice of Christ by renouncing earthly goods, earthly affections and self-will. So she vows absolute and permanent fidelity to a spirit of poverty and detachment; to the most perfect purity and chastity; and to obedience to lawful superiors acThese cording to the will of 'God. vows of absolute and permanent fidelity are symbolised by the ring in her vocation, just as fidelity is symbolised by the ring in marriage. The fidelity should be the same in both cases, however different may be the two states in life. Who puts the ring on the nun's finger? Whoever presides at the ceremony of Profession. The Church is the visible representative of Christ in this world, and those who desire an official sanction of their consecration to Him must apply to the Church. When the time comes for her religious profession, therefore, • the nun assists at Communion, Mass, reeeives Holy makes her vows, and receives from the Bishop the ring as a symbol of fidelity to her consecration to Christ. "Have I a Vocation?" I myself feel that I am called by God to serve Him. All Christians are called to do that. But you mean that you feel called to do so in a special way, and that you But more is should become a nun. wanted than Your own good desires.

Intercession of Mary. Where in the Bible are we told that Mary intercedes for us? If you read the Gospel account of the marriage feast at Cana, you will notice her intercessory power with Jesus clearly manifested by the fact that He wrought His first miracle at her request. If she had such power to obtain a temporal favour, she certainly has not less power to obtain spiritual graces and favours for us. And certainly she has not less power and charity in heaven than she had on earth. Jesus said, "No man cometh to the Father but by Me." But Jesus Himself That is true. came to us by Mary. In a very true sense He is her gift to humanity. There would be no Jesus through Whom we may go to the Father if there were no Mary through whom we possess our Redeemer. And as Mary brought Jesus to humanity, so any influence of hers leads always to Jesus through whom alone we go to the Father. The dignity of Mary and her intercessary power are due solely to her relationship with Jesus, and deAnd rive their value from Him. therefore they are in no way opposed to the text you quote.
I am sure you do not wish to complain of that. Could not the Roman Catholic Church offer more than words for the assistance of the unemployed? It does, and despite the multitudinous other works of charity making their demands upon Catholics. Complaints against the Catholic section of the community come very badly from others. Remember that Catholics are compelled to pay twice over for education, having to find thousands of pounds yearly in addition to the money they contribute with other citizens towards government funds. Over and above this, the Catholic Church maintains more charitable institutions than any other, in the form of orphanages, hospitals, homes for the aged, the deaf and dumb, the dying, and other works of mercy and charity. Furthermore, the St. Vincent de Paul Society distributes thousands of pounds yearly in food and clothing to poverty-stricken people of all religions; the funds of that Society being contributed by Catholics. It is not in the least unusual for people who feel that they could not possibly accept the tenets of Catholicism to express admiration of the vast amount of social and charitable work undertaken in the name of that religion.

the Unemployed. We hear of other organisations doing something to absorb the unemployed, but never a word of the Roman Catholic Church doing anything. You personally may not be aware of Catholic efforts, but they have been made, and are being made. Catholics have established the "Australian Employment Bureau- at Scott's Chambers, Hosking Place, off 86 Pitt-street, in the city, and countless numbers of the unemployed have secured positions by applying to that Bureau. As a matter of fact, every boy and girl on leaving school who has applied to the Bureau has been placed at once; and still there is a shortage of applications.

Our First Parents Thomas O'Connor, Sydney: Have Catholics to accept the account of Adam and Eve as recorded in Scripture in its entirety, particularly in regard to the incidents of the apple, the serpent, etc.? No "apple" is mentioned. Scripture speaks of the 'tree of knowledge of good and evil." We are not obliged to accept every detail of the account as literally true, but we must admit the historical character of the facts which are fundamental to Christianity; for example, that God created a first human couple from whom all human beings are descended; that He imposed upon them a test of obedience; that they rebelled against God's will at the instigation of the devil; that they thus fell from the grace of God, with the consequent transmission of original sin to posterity. Were Adam and Eve the sole progenitors of the human family, or did God create several other =mentioned forbears simultaneously for the sake of rapid multiplication? Adam and Eve were the sole progenitors of the human race. Every Christian who accepts the Bible as the Word of God is obliged to believe that. In the Acts of the 'Apostles xvii., 26, we are told explicitly that God "bath made of one, all mankind to dwell upon the earth."

their intelligence was yet finite and limited. It was quite possible for them, therefore to give less attention to one aspect of the truth, and to give It was more attention to another. possible for them to concentrate their attention upon their own natural perfection and to fail to advert sufficiently to their origin by creation, and their essential dependence upon God. Granted this, an evil choice of the will by pride was correspondingly possible. Regarding themselves as made for themselves rather than for God, they could behave like to God by a selfsufficiency proper to God alone, practically declaring independence of Him, and regarding 'Him as not necessary to them. And all this without wrongly thinking that they could be absolutely equal to Him and infinitely perfect.
The "Human" Failing of Pride! It is hard to conjure up a picture of exalted spirit beings so weakened in angelic intellect as to try to dethrone their GodBut the rebellious angels It is. never thought to destroy or dethrone They simply abstracted from God. the consideration of God, and sought to enthrone themselves in their own proud estimation as sufficient for themselves without due relationship and submission to Him. Can we associate the very human failing of pride with these heavenly spirits? That is almost the only vice found in human beings which could be asPride sociated with angelic natures. is the inordinate intellectual appreciation of one's own excellence, and is a sin which can be common to human beings and to purely spiritual beings. Proper to men are those sins which arise through the association of the soul with a material body of a sensitive and passionate nature. And these are the very human feelings, not pride. St. Bernard expressed this idea when he said, "Sin by sensuality, and you sin as a beast; sin by dishonesty, and you sin as a man; sin by pride, and you sin as the angels."
The "Beatific Vision." God's beauty and lovableness are beyond all human assessment, according to all theologians. That is true. With all the Divine attractions before them, and despite the intoxication of His Presence, we are to believe that the angels sinned. You are making a mistake here. Even the angels had not the beatific v ision of God in all His glorious reality. Had they had that vision, they You must recould net have sinned. member that God is in the order of infinite being and perfection, whilst the angels were finite creatures with necessarily limited intelligences. The vision of God would be impossible to them by their own natural powers. They, as well as human souls, would need a supernatural elevation by grace, and by the intensification of their powers before they could have an immediate sight of God. Just as we know of God's existence without seeing Him, so was Even an it also with the angels. angel was no more fitted to see God than an owl can see the brightness of the sun. The fallen angels, therefore, f ever have seen God as He really is. Those angels who did not sin received the supernatural vision of God as their inheritance; and for them, therefore, sin is no longer possible.
The rebellion in heaven of the angels, and their fall, is an enigma to me. It is a mystery which human reason cannot probe to its full depths, but in no way is there any actual conflict with reasonable principles. These angels had an intelligence imof measurably transcending that human beings.

ern door into the thronged place of audience, the Plantagenet seated in state at the western end, under the main window there, with rising temper and frowning red eyebrows, matching his scanty red hair. It was the very end Of the dark wintry month and the final declaration of war by St. Thomas against this new attempted capture of religion by government: it was Friday, January 30, 1164. "Not While There Is Life." For the last time he was asked to put his seal to the proposed new laws ruling the relations of Church and King. He had debated and rejected such proposals clause by clause during days and days of violent attack. Nov, at the end, he replied thus and finally: "Not while there is life in this vessel," the "vessel" of his body. There are two great Saints Thomas in the story of England —both Martyrs, both men of the first rank and standing in all Christendom: this Saint of Canterbury and St. Thomas More. The two men differed in all things save these: First, that each laid down his life for the Cause of the Catholic Church; second, that each risked death rather than yield one special limited point of doctrine and discipline: thirdly—and most strikingly—in this—that each acted unsupported and alone, thought extravagant and extreme and obstinate by contemporaries, facing the worst without aid. That was the chief part of their heroism. Courage to Stand Alone. St. Thomas was not supported by his fellow-Bishops. The Pope thought he might modify his attitude and that he was adding to political trouble in a difficult time by his blunt refusals to compromise. To many he appeared to be what men Of his sort and time most hated and despised—a traitor to his King. He knew that this picture of him was drawn and that all about him was lack of sympathy or help. He stood isolated—and so stood for six years unmoved. Therein lies the greatness of St. Thomas of Canterbury as of St. Thomas More; not in their achievement, but in their lonely heroism in the face of all human abandonment and their noble pride in certitude, the strongest thing in the soul. St. Thomas More achieved nothing. His sacrifice did nothing to arrest the spiritual ruin of his country. It led to no reaction. It bore no political fruit. St. Thomas of Canterbury achieved an obvious and mighty thing. His sacrifice checked a flow of coming spiritual disasters and saved the later middle ages. St. Thomas, the moment after the King's emissaries had murdered him, became the most famous name in Europe. St. Thomas More was forgotten in a few years. Yet they are equal and of the highest rank in the great army of martyrs because they doggedly died alone and for one thing which they saw and others did not see.

You who sit so securely and complacently before me think that is Yesterday unlikely and far off. the Catholic men of Russia, Spain and Mexico thought likewise. What do they know today? Where is their Faith? Gone, alas. gone! Ground under the heel of Communism. And why do they hate you? Simply because you have been leaders in forestalling their plan to make a Godless world.

munity. Groups of individuals and clergymen are doing likewise. Writing in "The Irish Catholic" of December 31, 1936, Mr. NV. F. Meng, Secretary of the International Apostolic Film Society, says: Actual work has already been started by the International Apostolic Film Society, led by a militant Knight who founded the Catholic Literature Society (U.S.A.) and whose work foi- our Holy Mother Church in other fields has won the approbation of the hierarchy. Already five Catholic films have been purchased outright from the Catholic Film Company of London, England, a militant group that produces Catholic films and rents them over the week-end for a small nominal sum or sells them. Four of these films deal with the instruction of Catholic children in a delightful way. The fifth is a six-reel film showing the murder of Saint Thomas More. One Serious Handicap. Only one serious handicap lies ahead for this grand work. The selection of Catholic films is lamentably limited. The Catholic Film Library of London lists only a handful so cheaply produced that they are not comparable with our sound and colour films. The catalogue of this company lists thousands of other excellent films, as does the Eastman Kodak Company of the United States, on every conceivable subject from golf to Mickey Mouse Cartoons. Thus is the field already prepared for supporting parts of a lively programme on the small projectors. Sound. colour, photography—all is as effectively presented as at our large commercial theatres. Then think what the small pictures would do! They could he furnished to many missionaries the world over in their work of c onversion, in many instances free. Council halls and parishes could run them free or at a small charge. and invite non-Catholics free. They could be shown in the outlying communities, in slums, in orphan homes, in hospitals, wherever people are, for people will stop to see cipicture. Few of the laity can speak Catholic truth eloquently, or care to do so. Yet the most ignorant Catholic can operate a simple projector and teach thousands irresistible truths that can never be .forgotten. Thus Holy Mother Church would have a militant shock troop to reach thousands that the good priest, however z ealous, is unable to reach. Catholic men want to and will aid in this work if encouraged.

A Hardened Fighter. Penty proved a real godsend. The He was in his element. confusion had no terrors for him. His far-seeing mind had already tackled the problems _engaging public attention and worked its way through a score of plausible fallacies. He had been associated with A. R. Orage in "The New Age." Previously to that he had been in the thick of Fabian controversies. He was a hardened warrior. As I listened to his dogmatic pronouncements, uttered with an explosive violence which impeded the free flow of his talk, I became aware that it was something more than contoversy for its own sake that he loved. He loved truth. It was not perhaps a special intellectual brilliance Which made his contributions welcomed by the harrassed editor so much as his essential honHe had a rare gift of esty. It spiritual and moral insight. was by a kind of instinct that he knew a theory was wrong; the facts and reasoning which confirmed his conviction came later. An Architect. There was another thing I noted. By profession he was an architect; it was his architectural work to which he attached most value, and it was his knowledge o f building which inspired his sociology. His was a constructive mind. Steadily, on firm foundations, out of the rubble of that confusing period he was building up a social philosophy capable of standing all weathers. But the discovery which really bound me to him was that this philosophy was none other than the philosophy of Christendom, the thing which lay at the roots of our civilisation. He was not a Catholic and never, I regret to say, became one, but of all the men with whom I have discussed such subjects, he had the most Catholic outlook on social and economic questions. He was well aware of the origin of his inspiration. Christian Communism. "The first requisite of such a theory," he wrote in 'Communism and the Alternative," "is that it shall be based upon the principles of Christianity, not in the sentimental sense in which any proposal which professes to be for the good of mankind asks for the support of the Churches, but in the sense that it is the civil equivalent of Christian theology; the logical implication of its teaching. Christianity, because it takes its stand on the spiritual nature of man, is the only principle capable of challenging the root assumptions of materialist Communism. The strength of Communism filially rests on the fact that the Communist is a man of principle. persuaded of the absolute truth of the materialist philosophy and conception of history. He takes his stand upon it without equivocation, and this gives him a driving force against which the ordinary secular reformer. who because of his denial of Christianity has nothing to appeal to but common sense and expediency, fights in vain. In consequence it will not be until those who are opposed to Communism take their stand as unequivocally upon the prin-

ciple of Christianity as Communists do upon those of materialism that a force will be set in motion capable of successfully challenging it and restoring the lost equilibrium between the spiritual and material sides of life." How characteristic both of the Christian philosopher and the architect is that deference to the need of balance! Clear Thought. I cannot forbear at this point bearing testimony to the fact that, though Penty did not himself become a Catholic, he had not a little to do, under God, in leading me to become one. His writings and his talk made the sociological approach to the Church as clear as daylight. It i s sit-prising- that he is not better They known among Catholics. would get more than theories from his books; they would get i... i.tration and they would learn hew direct is the relevance of their faith to the social and internatiot.al problems now disturbing the world.

Rev. Father Packer. C.SS.R., who has been an inmate of the Hospital of St. John of God for the past few months, is now well and enjoying a short period of c onvalescence. GERALDTON BUSHIES' SCHEME DISBANDED. An Important Announcement. O wing to the lack of financial support the Rev. Father J. McKay. Director of the above scheme., has found it necessary t c disband the diocesan system of instructing the bush children by of correspondence conducted by several of the Religious Sisters of the diocese. He has handed the task over to the Rev. Dr. James Hannan, of the Archdiocese of Melbourne, who conducts the National Correspondence Course in Religion for the Commonwealth and the Islands. Rev. Dr. Hannan will take over the work as from the 1st. of March. Although he regrets very deeply having been forced to 'take the said action, nevertheless Father McKay feels confident that Dr. Hannan will perform the work most efficiently, especially as he has a competent staff working strenuously under his capable guidance. The past 12 months has given evidence that this priest has laboured zealously and strenuously and with most marked success in bringing the light of faith to children in the isolated parts of our vast country.
The altar for St. Anne's Shrine has been ordered, so that the statue, now taking shape in the skilful hands of Mr. Kohler, may have a worthy setting. The clients of St. Anne, and there must be thousands, are respecttully invited to participate in mak ing this as worthy as our means may allow of the great saint whose daughter is Mary, the Mother of God. If you are an Anne, then you are specially invited to join, and as one Anne to another Anne, talk about it. The Tuesdays of St. Anne is a devotion which we hope to foster and encourage in the new church.
A St. Patrick's Eve Dance. On next Tuesday, March 16, the eve of St. Patrick's Day, a danc e be held in the Mend's Street Hall will posite the 'Windsor Hotel, a short , opwalk from the jetty.

These two young ladies are active members of the parish of the Children of Mary, and Sodality they set themselves the task of raisi have each towards a marble altar forng £5 Our Lady's Chapel. The parish Sodality has emb on that crusade so that the arked Chapel will be as beautiful as Lady can make it.

THE RECORD
St. Jerome Fulfils His Mission Complete Translation of Scriptures Into Latin
ed as the official version of the Church and has remained so ever since. At some time during this period Jerome was made Abbot of Bethlehem. A proper life would go on to tell of his private sanctity and set it forth against his steely front in public controversy. That most interesting story of his disciples, the Roman lady Paula and her daughter Eustochium, cannot be even glanced at here. Nor may one pause to estimate his proper place among the great letter-writers of the world, or compare his sharply knived epistolary prose with the leonine eloquence of St. Paul. the ordered majesty ot Cicero, the cameo brilliance of Pliny, the e xquisitely self-tinged style of Madame de Sevigne. or even the urbane, savoir-faire compei.ence of Horace Walpole. Last Years. Jerome lived on at Bethlehem for sixteen years after finishing his work on the Scriptures. Visitors came for copies of his works from places as far away as Spain and Gaul. And sometimes there were other visitors bent on a different errand. Once a crowd of heretical brigands completely smashed up all his buildings at Bethlehem. He was badly worn out by this time; overwork, hard penance, and the natural ills of a man in his seventies began to In the year give him pause. 420 a fever took hold of him and On the 20th. he sank quickly. September he died. In two ways Jerome has lived As a writer there on with us. is, of course, no question of his being forgotten. And the artists have taken to him eagerly; Da Vinci and the others will not suffer him to go unremembered. But after all existence as a literary name or as a being of paint and pigment is but a poor semblance of life. Jerome lives in a different way from that. Yet it is with a certain wistfulness that one hopes the man, the saint, as he was and is, will come to be better known and more warmly thought of. His notoriety has almost certainly darkened the true cast of his character, but perhaps when we rediscover him we shall see in the sudden insight of surprise why he was a saint and why the painters have always drawn him with a lion at his side.

He wanted precisely those powers which Christianity has always taught to be the prerogative of He wanted to reaGod alone. lise the absolute in himself, because he could not believe in any other way of realising the absolute. Nobody had a greater yearning for the absolute realisation of all man's desires that Nietzsche. He was possibly the most intelligent man the nineteenth century produced, because he saw clearly what was involved in the assertion or denial of God. But his yearning took the form of wanting to be God, rather than to be like God. It is often contended that his ultimate insanity had nothing to do with his ideas. But it took the form of a pride and egoism which passed all human bounds. Nietzsche denied the real world because it conflicted with his mania of pride. Signs of his oncoming insanity can be seen in his last book, "Ecce Homo." where he reviews much of his "Among my writings work. my Zarathustra holds a Special place. With it I crave my fellowmen the greatest good that has ever been bestowed upon them. This book, whose voice resounds through the ages, is not only the loftiest book in the world—the whole phenomenon. mankind, lies at an incalculable distance beneath it—but it is also the deepest book. . . ." The first chapter is entitled: "Why I am so wise," and "Ecce Homo" continues in this tone: A Christian Upside Down. Nietzsche literally wanted to storm heaven through pride, and he has been described as a Christian mystic turned upside down. The Will to Power. dynamism ("I'm not a man: I am dynamite"), energy, emphasising the will rather than the reason, is a theory - that has grown and has an immense influence to-day. As I have already hinted, Nietzsche was much more of a poet than a critic. The style of "Thus Spake Zarathustra" reminds one in its passionate elation of the great Hebrew prophets or of the elemental ruggedness of Aeschylus. It may therefore seem all the more extraordinary that Nietzsche should be called the rival of Marx or that his influence should appear in those new political movements .which seem to be destroying Marxism outside Russia. Nietzsche's influence on Mussolini and on German National Socialism can easily be exaggerated. Nietzsche hated Germans above all other races and he said that "wherever Germany penetrates she corrupts culture." And while ideas somewhat similar to Nietzsche's can be found in some Fascists, such as the poet Gabriele d'Annunzio and—at least Until fairly recently—in Mussolini himself, it is possible to live for years in Italy without being aware of Fascism save in its essential aspect, that of a practical method of government and a heightening of the morale of Italians. In Germany the doctrinal side of National Socialism seems to be playing a somewhat larger
TWENTY-THREE part. Though the mass Of Nazis are probably no more and no less anti-Christian than the mass, say, of the members of Parliament in England, the situation is complicated by the Nazi emphasis on the anti-Christian and anti-European myth of the Germanic race. The race-theory of the Nazis is not derived from Nietzsche. But what the Nazis and the Fascists both share with Nietzsche is their reaction against what they call the "decadence" of nineteenth century ideals, their emphasis on "living dangerously," at a high tension and passionately. preferring death to anything "mediocre." A good life is an adventurous life, and without adventure and heroism life is not worth living. "Better live one day as a lion than a hundred days as a sheep." They emphasise the side of life that nineteenth century individualism threatened with destruction—man's corporative and social nature, family life, and the simple stoical virtues such as courage, respect, generosity and patriotism. But they also tend to believe in the Will to Power and think of pride and aggressiveness as virtues. Moreover, these movements share with Nietzsche their emphasis on the warrior and at least employ the soldier ideal as a means for realising their social aims. There is nothing specifically anti-Christian in this—indeed, it might be said that their preference of the soldier to the tradesman has existed in Catholicism throughout the ages and it can be found alike in St. Thomas Aquinas and Joseph de Maistre. \\Then one thinks of the tawdriness of democratic and socialist commercialism, it is easy to understand how strongly people are attracted to these ideals of the primitive and epic heroism of the old German warriors with their songs and their laughing death and their Valhalla, and the pagan pride of the Roman legions. As Nietzsche in the nineteenth century, so these movements to-day. make an appeal to human desire for magnificence and power. Fighting Defeatism. Nietzsche's complaint against Christianity was in the name of human magnificence. extremes of humanitarian pacifism and defeatist. As critics of Catholicism have more usually accused it of being too warlike we may wonder where we stand. It seems to me that the spirit of Catholicism stands somewhere exactly between the two extremes of humanitarian pacifism and pagan pride, of servility and the Will to Power. It would be fascinating to compare Nietzsche with a French Catholic contemporary of his who was younger than him, Leon Bloy. Theil facial resemblance, if that means anything, is quite extraordinary. And the resemblance of theit characters in some respects was so marked that it has often been said that Bloy would have been like Nietzsche if he had not been a Christian. Bloy was by no means the sort of Christian sheep Nietzsche attacked; he probably outmatched him in vituperative ability. He saved himself from Nietzsche's fate through an attitude to the universe which was Catholic and had nothing of the one-sided interpretations of Christianity to he found in some of the non-Catholic sects. It was the solid virtue of "humility before God and pride before men."

It's Lent andI don't want to be uncharitable in my sentiments, so I won't say any more about Mary Snoggins. Dad had a heart to heart talk with a great friend of yours last night, Luke the Physician. He's been in St. John's, but he's had his insteps raised and his tummy remodelled, and he looks just It.

They took down a tin of floor polish between them and presented it to Mother Prioress, so as the nuns could get a good shine up for the opening, and if every Catholic in Nedlands did a practical-minded thing like that it would bring a blessing on their own home.

Therefore, dear Hoppy Go Lucky, congratulations on your luck, and auf wiedersehen, though as I'm only crawling up 'twill be a long time before we meet. I'm sorry one of those Angels put "a stick" in your trifle, but my experience is that an Archangel is the better confidante, especially where trifles that are not trifles are concerned. Thank you for your dainty dish. AUNT BESSY. Back o' Beyond, Dear Aunt Bessy,—The wonderful achievement has just reached me, so I am hastening to send my congratulations to all your supporters. By now the proceeds have been wisely distributed and hundreds of dear little Bushies have benefited by the generosity of Father McMahon's co-operators Much may be said, too, for the ger.'_ruu:: Sirters who so unselfishly deli:mtt.. their holidays to instructing the little ones. It is indeed wonderful to think how the knowledge of Dr. McMahon's Scheme has travelled so many thousand of miles, and I was quite delighted and surprised to receive a letter from an Irish correspondent who is interested in the Bushies' Scheme. May 1937 prove a most successful year for you, and may God bless you and your faithful Cornerites. AN ADMIRER OF THE HARP. Dear Admirer,—There is a quality of fidelity in you that is not in many admirers, and admiration if it is to prove anything should be faithful. Wherefore I thank you kindly for ;ours, though its real object is over two thousand miles away and busy "learning to become a nun." Still, being her aunty as I am yours, I can thank you on her behalf. Thank you, too, for your sensiole congratulations. I attach the adject e to them because of perceiving that you know most of last year's victory has been wisely distributed, and that, forgetting the things that are behind, we will before long have to press forward to another goal. AUNT BESSY.
Dear Client of Our Lady,—Thank you for looking so earnestly to the sowing of the seed that will, D.V.. later produce the harvest necessary.

AUNT BESSY. Dear Aunt Bessy,—Just "another trifle." As soon as I read your reply in last "Record" I knew you can't trust even the Angels. It was only an Angel I spoke to about the "trifle" and she couldn't keep it to herself. W ell, it is the same old story. This time you don't need to ring Six Four Five Three .as she doesn't know, because she wasn't there when the trifles arrived, and went to their destination. I would like to say a few words about Sandy's boils, because I think it wasn't the plum pudding that caused them but something else, as we read so much lately in "The Record" about faraway places where he has been. ,and straight away I formed my own opinion. But, never mind, we won't he hard. As someone is waiting to take this letter into the office I will say good-bye until we meet in heaven.— ONE WHO HOPS.

Cross Restored to University Lecture Halls First Consecration at Vienna Since 1884. For the first time since October 11, 1884, a religious act of consecration has been conducted at Vienna University—on the occasion of the solemn opening of the Auditorium Maximum, a huge lecture hall in which addresses will be given by Catholic scholars to show that religion and science combine to provide the highest degree of mental culture.
Dear Mollie,—If all the cards came in punctually I would never know how nice it is to find one all of a sud,den that I never expected at all, so thank you very much. You must have an understanding heart where our Bushies are concerned, too, because there are such a lot of people under the impression that the Thousand we got last year will last until 1999.

The ceremony was performed by Cardinal Innitzer, Archbishop of Vienna, underneath a large bronze cross which had been erected on the front wall opposite the national arms. This cross is the first for many de-
cades to find a place in the Vienna University. True Concept of Life. In his address, Dr. Pernter, Minister of Education, said: "The school must impart to the young university men more than a plenitude of science. It must lead them to the spiritual stream of a comprehensive scientific recognition which makes them behold the picture of the ‘yorld and life in accordance with the grand principles of Creation. The university professor must never forget that he has to train and to form the souls of his students."

M y Dear Three,—The best of greetings to each of you and everything else you are expecting on the 1Sth. and 19th. of this month, when you, Joan, will keep up your Eleventh on t he first date, and you, Mary and Joy, will be all of a thrill with wondering what you are going to get in honour o f your Ninth, Mary, and your Tenth, ov, xishich has the honour of falling on the feast of the great saint of this month—St. Joseph. I wonder do the three of you love Saint Joseph as you should, or if he suddenly appeared before the three of you and said "Tell me what saint you love best in heaven?" would you all pipe out "The LitWell, even if you did tle Flower!" pipe out that, Saint Joseph would just laugh to himself inside and disappear as suddenly as - he came. Still, when You were just about half the ages you are now, I guess your father and your mother would some times ask you, "Whom do you love best?" and if you said what I used to say you'd reply, "I love you both the same." Then if the questions went on you would never admit that you liked one of your cousins better than your broNo, other or your sister, would you? you wouldn't ,and so, I think, it ought to be with the love we have for St. Joseph. We should all love him best after Our Lord. Who is God, and Our Lady, who is God's Mother, for St. Joseph has the next first claim on our love because he is God's foster-father. Then after him I think we should love our own angel best because he is the friend who has known and taken care of us the longest, and you'll find even with loving those Four the first and best you'll still have plenty of affection left for the Little Flower and all the other saints in heaven.

THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK. Sunday: All perfection consists in the love of God, and the perfection of Divine love consists in the union of our will with that of God.—St. Alphonsus. Monday: Is not God more ready to pardon than we to offend? Is He not our Physician, and :are not we His sick children? Has He not borne our iniquities? Tuesday: God, the great Architect, built Himself a house not made with hands, a house of gold worthy to contain the Word Incarnate.—Mother Mary Philip, I.B.V.M. Wednesday: He who unceasingly seeks to nourish himself with the Precious Blood of Christ's wounds will be safe against all the perils and difficulties of this miserable life. Thursday: Be punctual; one minute too late has lost many a golden opportunity, besides which the want of punctuality is an affront offered to a person to whom your presence is due. Friday: It is wonderful to see how those who fear God fear the least shadow of sin, such is the watchfulness of the saints. Is it surprising that I fall when I walk unarmed in the midst of my enemies.—Blessed Claude de la Colombiere. Saturday: When we carelessly make friends with wicked persons we become involved in their sins, and our life is in discordance with Our Divine Lord, Who is perfect righteousness in proportion as it harmonises with the friendship of the bad.—St. Gregory.

He received direct instruction from Heaven how to act in all these events. There is no further mention of him from the moment that Our Lord received baptism from John and began His public ministry.

For the next fortnight the great motive why men should put away sin will be constantly before our eyes. Step by step we shall follow Our Lord to His c onsummation; thereby the Church will try to impress the Passion indelibly on our minds and compel us to adopt St. Paul's sentiments: "I live in the faith of the Son of God who loved me and delivered Himself for me." In to-day's Epistle we have a selection front the Epistle to the Hebrews. The Epistle in its entirety deals adequately and beautifully with Ow Lord's priesthood and sacrifice. In this selection we are reminded of two things: (1) of the fact that Christ is our priest and victim : and (2) of the value of His sacrifice. Like the ancient Hebrews we must acknowledge our sinfulness. Note the admissions of sinfulness in to-day's Mass, in the Common of every Mass. We should develop great devotion to the Passion, and be eager to apply its fruits to our souls through the Mass and the Sacrament of Penance, and by such devout practices as the Way of the Cross and the Rosary.
