A "wayside pulpit" notice displayed outside a church bore the following inscription:— "Love Your Enemies, Make Your Worst Enemy Your Best Friend." A little farther down the same road appeared another notice:— "Your Worst Enemy is Drink." T wo men, returning from a banquet in the early hours, were arguing whether it was the sun or the moon that was appearing in the sky. Meeting another man, they explained their argument and asked his opinion. Unfortunately he, too, had been dining not wisely but too well. All the ;atne, he answered, politely:— "I'm sorry, gentlemen, but I am hie --a stranger in these. parts myself."

A Negro visited a town in Ohio on election day. In the afternoon an acquaintance met him. "Have you voted, Rastus?" " Yassir." ''How did you vote?" Well, boss, it was dis way. I meets a Republican in de street, an' he gibs me *leven dollars to vote his ticket. An' I meets a Democrat, an' he gibs me seven dollars to vote his ticket, So I voted for .de Democrat." But the Republican gave you the most money." "Yassir, I voted for de Democrats 'cause dey is de least corrupt." Just before a big dinner began in London a young man with a monocle and a drawl said to another man ,tanding near: -Beastly nuisance, isn't it? I spoke to that fellow over there took him for a gentleman, somebody of importance. Then I found that he had •a ribbon in his coat. I suppose he's the confounded head-waiter, or something."Oh, no!" replied the other. "That is the guest of the evening.' "Really?" drawled the young man, taken aback. "Look here, old chap, would you mind sitting next to me at dinner and telling me who he is?" "Can't sir, I'm sorry," was the reply. "You se. , I'm the confounded headwaiter."

), "A Waverley Miracle T. P. O'C., Sydney: Some time ago a Sydney daily paper featured a report that a dying Waverley lady was miraculously restored to normal health despite the doctor's despair of her recovery. It is true that a lady who was very ill experienced a rapid and rather wonderful improvement in health, which was a suprise even to the doctor. But I would certainly not be prepared to describe the improvement .as miraculous in any technical sense of the word. Newspapers which delight in the sensational are rather prone to hyperbole; and it is quite intelligible that good people who receive a quite unexbenefit pected and desirable regard it as an almost miraculous But, in the blessing from God. strict sense of the word, a miracle demands more than is usually supposed; and I do not think the Waverley case could comply with the conditions required. I do not deny, of course, that the sick person's improvement was due to it God's special intervention. It certainly was possibly was. But that does not remarkable. justify the too easy use of the term I"miracle" The Nun on the Window-Pane. The medical man—a non-Catholic—drew attention to an impression on the window-pane of what appeared to be a nun and a convent; and the manifestation was said to have happened simultaneously with the cure. A fter having received your letter, I went to see the window in There I saw certain question. markings on the outer surface of the glass to the presence of which no one, apparently, had adverted prior to the sick person's imWhether provement in health. they were actually there or not prior to that improvement I could not say. To my .mind the impressions on the window could have been due to a flaw in the glass coupled with some atmospheric or electrical disturbance. I would certainly hesitate to ascribe any but a natural origin to them. In one section the stains on the glass resembled in vague outline the dress of a nun, but it would require a good deal of imagination to read anything else into the clouded area. Was It "The Little Flower"? The recovered person, after inspecting the impression indicated by the doctor, expressed the opinion that the nun undoubtedly represented the Little Flower, Therese. If she saw enough to warrant that judgment she certainly saw more than I did. I found it difficult enough to discern an outline of a nun's habit, and impossible to identify anything in the way of features resembling those of St. Therese of the Child Jesus, who is commonly known as "The Little Flower." It is not impossible. of course. that the patient's recovery was due to her

In such a case she might be able to discern more in it than others. But this is not to be presumed and I think it unlikely. I would regard her estimate as being subjective, and due to her elation in the unexpected joy of her better health. Efforts Made to remove the impression by cleaning and by acids were without result. They would be, considering that the outer surface of the glass has obviously suffered a kind of abrasion, giving a "frosting" affect in places.

FOUR possibly pass muster. Scripture, history, ethnology, and reason reduce British Israelism to the level of abject nonsense. Surely there is some good in it. Only as an example of the puerilities of which the human mind is capable, and of the credulity perpetually manifesting itself in most unexpected ways. The theory has gripped me, and I don't like giving it up. You must let reason triumph over .your feelings, and wriggle out of the head-lock "British Israel" has put over you. And if you retain a spark of loyalty to Christ and love for Him you will For the British Israel do so. Theory is quite incompatible with the Christian religion. You can have one or the other. But you cannot have both.

Interpreting Genesis Alpha, Socratic Club, Sydney: Your statement as to what Genesis does give an authentic account of is a trifle ingenuous. 1 do not remember your asking nor my giving you a statement as to the positive elements in the Mosaic account which are authentic. I remember explaining what it does not pretend to be authentic. For I declared that Genesis does not give a "scientific" account either of the facts considered by natural science, nor of the order in which those facts Nor does actually occurred. Genesis anywhere declare that it does intend to give such a scientific account. Your answer really means— "Genesis gives an authentic account of such matter as it gives an authentic account of."

My answer was nothing like that. You wished me to reconcile the order of facts as given by Genesis with that demanded by science. It was a sufficient reply to say that Genesis made no pretence of describing the order of facts from the scientific There was no point of view. need for me to go on to give you a positive exposition of what is to be accepted as authentic in Genesis. You did not ask for that, and it was enough to show that your difficulty did not apply. The Popular Setting. Genesis is an authentic account of absolutely nothing at all. You profess to be so keen on proof that I feel justified in asking you to provide some when you make statements rather than ask questions. It gives a conception of the world as divided into three tiers, like a three-storied house, with God on the top floor. If that was the popular notion of the universe around them, Moses could not have done better Than to use it in speaking to the people on their own level. Two authentic facts would be conveyed in the statement you make, namely, that there is a God, and that He is supreme. The conveying of those truths in a setting familiar to current ideas was wisdom itself. If you object to that, you should object to the popular expression still current that the sun will rise, say, at 5.30 a.m., on the score that a truth is conveyed in words which unscientifically imply that the sun is moving round the earth. The whole trend of thought. even of your church authorities, has received a new orientation since the time when it was believed that the world was creat• ed about 5,000 years ago. Firstly, the idea that the world was created but 5.000 years ago has never been an integral part of the Catholic Faith. Secondly, fidelity to the doctrines contained in God's revelation is not a hindrance to the acceptance of progressive natural knowledge derived from our study of the created universe.

Saturday, March 27, 1937. Thomas Aquinas in the 13th. century, expressed more advanced opinions favourable to evolution And they than those I .hold. have been canonised, not crucified. "Thus Speaks Divine Authority!" Your Church now says, "EvoluWe do tion might be true. not know. If it is proved to be true we shall then believe in it." And that is authority speaking in the name of God. All that is simply puerile. You absurdly say that the Church "now" says, though the Church has never said anything else. Then you predict that the Church will "believe" in ft as if you imagine that this purely natural matter could become part and parcel of Catholic Faith. It could no more become part of the Faith than the discovery that petrol can propel motor-cars! Finally, you have gone right outside the sphere in which the Church claims to speak with the authority of God, and have got all hot and bothered because she does not exercise that authority where she is not supposed to do so! You say that, if evolution were proved true, Catholic teaching would not be affected. I said that if organic evolution were proved true, restricting it to lower species, and man's bodily and material nature. I have c onsistently said that no Catholic can admit the evolution of man's soul, with its essentially spiritual nature characterised by intelligence and liberty of will. It is part of the Catholic Faith that the soul is created by God. And it is philosophically impossible for this spiritual entity to have evolved from mere matter. But whether the human body originated by direct creation or evolution from lower types is not a defined doctrine. Could science prove its evolution, Catholic Faith could not be affected.

Could God Be Eliminated? The contradiction is obvious, for if it were proved that your mental and moral nature had evolved, you would find difficulty in fitting God into the picture.

THE RECORD.

The Eternal Light Through a London Fog

The Very Limited Liberty of Taking Things For Granted

HE Oxford professor of Church History, Cecil John Cadoux, has written a book called "Roman Catholicism and Freedom." I may be forgiven for writing a note upon it partly because of some grim reference to a B.B.C. address which I myself once delivered on something like the same topic; but much more because of a profound problem which the author raises— without having the least inten tion of doing so. For me, to tell the truth, the book throws a flood of light on the difference between modern Protestants and modern Catholics, in their whole relation to this question. I ot.ght to mention that the book is published by the "Independent Press, Limited"; and in this matter the very title page seems to teem with irony. For the first difference I feel is that this sort of publication from the Protestant press is certainly limited; and it is we by comparison who are independent. I mean by being independent, not that any logical man can be independent of the conclusion to which logic leads him in the end ; but that if he is independent, he does, at least, begin at the beginning. And I mean by being limited that the other sort of ma:, is limited, not by his own logical c onclusions. but merely by other people's conventions and traditions. Mr. Cadoux makes freedom, or toleration, an absolute test, merely because his father and his grandfather- did so. It is probable that his great-grandhe father really knew what meant. But Mr. Cadoux does not really know what he means hy the use of these terms: he simply takes them for granted. and then judges everything else by them. What is Freedom? In short. I do not in the least complain that he does not comprehend what Roman Catholicism is. What I do complain of is that he does not really inquire what Freedom is. 'his is all the more odd, because he does begin on the very first page by confessing: "We Britons are getting used in these days to finding the convictions we have long learned to take for granted . . . not only challenged by others, but denied, abandoned. and denounced as evil. We used to regard civil liberty and the freeedom of the press as unquestionably good; but the rulers of Russia clearly think of them as dangerous and harmful." Well, it will at least be agreed that the rulers of Russia are not influenced by the religion of Rome. He goes on to sax that Mussolini and Hitler have surprised us in the same way by reverting to arbitrary methods; but he handsomely acknowledged elsewhere that the latter, at least. is a persecutor of Catholicism and therefore presumably not a pupil of Catholicism. In short, he recognises that tyranny .or authority, or whatever we call it, has returned in the modern world without any assistance from Rome and in two ot.t of his three cases. in actual antagonism to Rome. And still it never occurs to him to

(By G. K. CHESTERTON.) This article, from the pen of Gilbert Keith Chesterton (R.I.P.), was written during the week preceding his last illness. A champion of liberty to the last, he vindicates the Catholic atitude on this matter, attacked as it was by Professor Cadoux in his book, "Roman Catholicism and Freedom."

ask what has really happened on this huge scale among tile heathens of half the world; or to prove that such tyranny is wrong by proving that liberty is right. He does not live either by liberty or tyranny; but simply and solely by tradition. Whatever people in this country, in this century, had got used to is right; and whatever surprises them is wrong. A Thing of the Past.

He crowns this passage with the luminous sentence: "We have long come to take it for granted that religious persecution is entirely a thing of the past." It was somewhere about 1913, I think, that a millionaire named Carnegie said: "War is a thing of the past." Now I would respectfully ask Mr. Cecil John Cadoux to speak for himself, I believe in Liberty; and I was an ordinary Liberal for a very long time before I was a Roman Catholic. But I never, even v -hen I was a Protestant, "took it for granted** that war, or religious persecution, or any other human energy of desperation was a thing of the past I had been a journalist for a long time; and that was quite enough to prevent me from "regarding the freedom of the press as unquestionably good." or even as unquestionably existing. But Mr. Cadoux seems to start out from the very first taking thousands of things for granted; and quite unaware of the growing criticism of our press and politics that has been accumulating in all sorts of ordinary educated people for decades; people who are not in the least Hitlerites or Fascists or Communists; and people who most certainly are not Catholics.

N the whole of this thick book, compact with a sort or congestion of questionable facts and controversial statements, it never once occurs to him to begin the whole discussion by asking what is the definition of Freedom, and why it is a good thing and why so many millions of civilised Europeans have reacted against it almost as if it were a bad thing. If he wants fundamental questions of that sort discussed, he will find them discussed among Catholics. As it is, of course, the ordinary oldfashioned phrases of sectarian toleration are quite useless, What is the use of saying, as so many thousands in the old tradition said: 'A man should be free -to worship God according to There are, at his own conscience"? least two holes and howling errors in that short statement.

Two Holes and Howling Errors.

First, professing to proclaim universal liberty, it deliberatelv leaves out the man who does not want to worship God at all. Second, it raises the delicate social question of what we shall do with a man whose perfectly sincere conscience tells him to worship God with human sacrifice. The whole thing was never thought out or thrashed out by anybody; and the real case for liberty rests on a t otally different set of moral facts. It rests on the idea that justice demands a certain amount of self-ownership: that human dignity requires that a man should have a circle of choice in which he uses his genuine free will; in short, that there is something sacred about a man in so far that God 'has

made him free; a theological dogma. But Mr, Cadoux does not bother himself about dogmas of this sort; or any definition that can be followed by the human mind. His grandfather believed that dissenters ought to have their little chapels; and so does he. Now in this special connection, there is a curious example, in one of the many historical errors that vitiate this book. He is bound to admit, because it is impossible to deny, that Protestants and other enemies of the Church used persecution in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries; just as they have resumed it in the twentieth. But he attempts to make various distinctions; one of which is expressed, in his summary, in the phrase that Protesctant persecutions, "unlike the Catholic, were discontinued

Enlightened Pagans Like Fox and Pitt.

To begin with, Protestant persecutions of whom? Certainly not Protestant persecutions of Protestants. There has been, indeed, a growing tendency for three centuries for Protestants to forget their differences. But that was only because their differences were from the first entirely trivial and ephemeral. But when exactly did Protestants willingly discontinue the persecutions of Papists? Certainly not until; Protestantism itself had largely dissolved in the paganism of the late eighteenth century; and then only in the small class of enlightened pagans, the aristocrats like Fox and Pitt. But even then, the realm and its rulers remained Protestant enough to wish to continue persecution. King George and Wellington and the rest did not "willingly" accept Catholic Emancipation. "Willingly.' is the very last word any real historian would use. Any historian will tell you that the Protestant Government (and very probably the Protestant nation) only gave way in a crisis of national peril, caught between the two fires of Continental war and Irish insurrection. So completely hedged in is the writer in the trim Dutch garden of Macaulay's "Essays," that he actually adds a note of exclamation to the suggestion that James II, proposed Toleration. That James IT. proposed Toleration is as certain a fact as that Cob!en proposed Free Trade. It is as certain a fact as that his Protestant subjects threw him out of his throne for proposing it. He was a Catholic who wanted to tolerate Protestants as

THE LATE MR. CHESTERTON. 111111111111111.1111111111111111111111111111111111l1111111111111111111111111111 well as Catholics. There were very, very few Protestants then who wanted ttl tolerate Catholics as well as Protestants. I can barely think of one; a really unique and even eccentric idealist like Penn; who was reviled by the Protestant historian for that reason. So much for his facts; but even when they are facts, they are mere lists distinguished by labels, Papists did this and Protestants did that; there is. no attempt at any philosophy of history about why anybody did anything. What strikes me most, about all this recent Protestant propaganda, is a complete absence of any comprehension of ideas; not merely of Catholic ideas but of anti-Catholic ideas, when they really are ideas; of Cornrnunist or Calvinist or Buddhist ideas.

Commonsense.

Thus he cannot see any distinction between different ideas. He cannot quite understand why I asked exactly what the Pope had said about Liberalism; not realising that a good many quite different things can be said even against it. What the Pope said was elementary common-sense. He condemned the proposition that the Church must accommodate itself' t o Liberalism or modern politics. But that has very little to do with what we commonly mean by being a Libsral. It is one thing to say: "A Catholic can call it a fine day or describe his favourite climate." It is quite another to say: "The Catholic Church must always imitate the weather." And I would as soon have the Eternal Light model itself on a London fog, as on anything resembling our modern politics or our contemporary progress.

This collection of six Lenten sermons by the noted Jesuit theologian and preacher, is a pleasure to read. It is an answer by an apologist both compelling and persuasive, to the intellectually feeble but very noisy and aggressive challenge, so fashionable ot late, to the value and authority of the Commandments, The author meets the noisy and aggressive objectors on the ground they would doubtless claim as their own— that of logic and reasoned argument, and shows not only the possibility of categorical imperatives backed by supreme authority and adequate sanctions, but their absolute necessity for humanity. In a style of adornable lucidity and picturesque imagery, he paints the basis of belief and the disastrous nsequences their rejection must entail. The light thrown by the old fashioned ( ?) Ten Cofnmandments on the pressing problems of to-day, in Father Gannon's analysis is truly ilr Iuminating. It has been said that a man is educated not in proportion to the number of books he has read, but according to their quality and the care with which he has read them. It would hardly be an exaggeration to say that this little book contains compressed a wide and generous Catholic education. Moreover it is a book one can confidently give to any fair-minded nonCatholic as both an example and a defence of our Catholic philosophy and outlook. (Our copy from Burns Oates and Washbourne.)

The fact that the Vatican has a representative on both sides in the Spanish civil war is revealed by the 1937 edition of the "Annuario Pontificio," the Pontifical Yearbook, which has just been published. Cardinal Goma, Archbishop of Toledo and Primate of Spain, is "Provisional semi-official representative" at Burgos, and Mgr. Silvio Sericano is "Charge d'Affaires ad interim" with the Valencia Government. There are also two Spanish representatives to the Holy See, the Marquis de Magaz as "Semiofficial Charge d'Affaires of the Burgos Government" and Senor de Zulueta as "Ambassador of the Valencia Government." But both Mgr. Sericano and Senor de Zulueta are marked as Relations with the "absent." Spanish Government are therefore in practice suspended.

Anti-Communist Exhibition Opened.

The anti-Communist exhibition held in the Dorland Hall, Lower Regent Street, London, is a remarkable revelation of the extensive ramifications of the Communist movement. Here in the numerous sections are grouped hundreds of posters, photographs, charts and maps collected from many countries which provide a stark exposure of the cult in all its anti-religious, anti-social and anti-human phases. It is no exaggeration to say that the gaudy cartoons, lampoons and illustrations dealing with Spain and Russia bear upon them the imprint of hell. In these six anti-religious propaganda sections, Christ, Our Lady, the Pope and the Saints are all depicted in such unprecedently blasphemous terms as to render impossible the slightest intimate reefrence to them in the columns of any responsible journal. Recent Photographs. Horrible are the actual (and recent) photographs of the sack of innumerable churches in Spain, the murders of countless priests and nuns, and the violation of the graves. hut these pale into insignificance before the poisonous propaganda which is prepared with such devilish cleverness for the consumption of the young. Violated churches can be restored but the poisoning of the souls of little children is a disaster well nigh irreparable. A visit to the exhibition proves convincingly that no country and no section of the community is immune from "Red" penetration and its subsequent destruction of all that civilisation stands for. The advance of Moscow's agents in England and throughout the Empire is not among the least disturbing factors revealed by the exhibition.

PERTH, SATURDAY, MARCH 27, 1937.

An Open Letter to the Rev. G. Tulloch

The letter of the Rev. G. Tulloch on Catholic Educational Claims, which appeared in the "West Australian" last week, must have been as humiliating to the informed members of his own denomination as it was incredible to the Catholic community. Had such a statement come from a young, newly ordained minister stationed in some out-back parish, one might in charity have glossed it over as the hyper-zealous outpouring of a young man, unacquainted with the elements of the dispute, and isolated from sources of reference but that the Moderator of the Presbyterian Church in this State should have made blunders so elementary and adopted an attitude so ingenuous is fairly breath-taking. It causes the Catholic, who is constantly assured that the ugly head of sectarianism is never raised in this State, but that all denominations live together on a basis of broad and brotherly tolerance, to hesitate and even to doubt. •

•

In the light of these "incontrovertible facts," it should be plain to the Rev. Tulloch that the matter was far from "settled for all time" in the mind of Bishop Gibney, and is even further from s ettlement to-clay. How can the Rev. Tulloch be sincere in pretending that £15,000 was any sort of compensation for the work accomplished by Catholic education between 1871 and 1895? Much less for the tremendously increased organisation and expense of these subsequent 42 years? This is rather like outstripping the simplicity of the dove which the Gospels demand. How a Government at any given historical moment can legislate for all eternity is yet another poser. Meantime the Rev. Tulloch need not bewail the prayers of our children. Rather it is the Catholic Church in Australia that, like Rachel in the Scriptures, has cause to bewail educational justice because it is not. *

* * * * At that historical inquiry of 1895, Monsignor Bourke was asked the very question which Catholics are asking to-day: "Has it (Parliament) the right (to suspend aid to denominational education) ?" The Monsignor's reply is ours: "There is no right to do wrong."

Crisis in Germany The four years which have elapsed since the Nazi•Revolution By .have been fraught with peril for the Church in Germany. forebearance, tact, and compromise in non-essentials, the German Hierarchy has been enabled to carry on, but it was obvious to all that such a state of affairs could have no permanence. The report of the issuing of a Papal Encyclical announcing the violation of the Concordat indicates that the crisis is at hand. The situation became tense in February of this year following the visit to the Vatican of the leaders of the German Hierarchy. The two major points of violation are the Nazi repression of the Catholic youth organisations and the direct attack on Catholic education in Bavaria. This was followed by the representations of the Papal Nuncio at Berlin to the Foreign Minister asking that the relations between the Church and State be definitely clarified.

•

To come to the case in the order of its illogical sequence, Rev. Tulloch refers to the propaganda of the Catholic Church as designed "to demand subsidies from all the State Governments towards the support of the Roman Catholic schools." If the Rev. Tulloch really believes that he has accurately stated the Catholic claims in that sentence, there is no need of controversy. We can only ask the Presbyterian Moderator to acquaint himself with the basic facts of the issue. Since he has consulted the Parliamentary files of 1895, it is somewhat difficult to believe his letter was prompted by ignorance. The alternative-misrepresentation—is an ugly one and will be retained only because there appears to be no other interpretation and because of another set of historical facts to which he can refer in the legal files of Victoria of the year 1922. Catholics ask no favour or grant They simply demand or subsidy from the State Governments. that the State cease from subsidising State schools at the expense of Catholic taxpayers. while Catholics are conscientiously compelled to erect, staff, and maintain separate schools in order that their children may not grow up Godless. If tbe Rev. Tulloch was partly motivated by the desire to precipitate Catholics into an ered statement of their claims, he has failed: The Catholic case would occupy a good deal of space, but it is simply stated above and will compel the impartial reader because it is elementary justice. There is but one point more, worthy of attention—the historical aspect —wherein the Presbyterian Moderator presents an array of "incontrovertible facts." Why he did not consider it relevant to add that the Joint Committee, which investigated the terms and c onditions on which it would be equitable to abolish the Assisted School System, were instructed to do so, "having regard to the vested interests which have been legally created." is rather puzzling. Moreover, why the Rev. Tulloch should have been at pains to illustrate that Bishop Gibney gratefully acccpted an equitable s ettlement because he decided "not to murmur about the amount" when the minutes of the evidence of 1895 are replete with the Bishop's dissatisfaction, is very intriguing. Bishop Gibney was faced with a Parliamentary Committee which had already decided to abolish the Assisted School Systetn. The only reason he had to give evidence was in order to arrive at some compensation for the loss he wuld sktTer. Nothing he coold have done or said would have preset ved the Catholic .schools. Under duress and with no alternative he accepted the pitiable morsel of £15,000. Actually, before the Commission, he estimated the vested interests of the Catholic Educational Organisation at 184N5 11s. Old. When asked by tilt-. Chairman if he would he prepared to sell and hand over the 1,v1v21e of the Catholic schools at 'nation, Bishop Gibney replied: "I certainly should not hand this them over to anyone at that valuation. I have put a valuation upon them which is very moderate, simply to show what we have done for the cause of education encouraged by thle Government." A gain he stated, "If you are going to cut us off, then it is stated we will get a liberal offer from the Government, but the most generous offer would not pay the Catholic body. It would not pay them to accept £100,000." In reply to another question, the Bishop said. "I estimate that it would not pay us to surrender our cause under £100.000." If it was left to me to say whether I would s urrender, I would say 'No.' "

While it is true that the Fuehrer has made no personal and direct gesture against the Church, he must none the less accept responsibility for the underhand methods of his subordinates. This has amounted to nothing less than a passive persecution striking the Church in those aspects most vital to the propagation of her work. The extraordinary feature of the Nazi attack on religion and the attempt to substitute racial idolatory has been the alliance which has been formed among all denominations in Germany. The defeat of Reichbishop Mueller signified the determination of the Lutheran Church to resist their absorption into the scheme of racial religion. But right throughout the struggle the nonCatholic elements have looked to the Catholic Church for leadership and direction, and have found in Cardinal Faulhaber a fearless and reliable leader. The new encyclical will probably force the issue, which has been so long in doubt. Yet it makes no extravagant claims or exorbitant demands. It asks simply that Germany honour the terms and conditions which she freely made with the Vatican in the Concordat. -O.

GRAND NATIONAL CONCERT AT FREMANTLE.

The fifth annual swimming sports of Victoria Square College were conducted at Claremont Baths on Thursday, March 18.

Betty Murray was open champion with 40 points, followed by Peggy Clairs (20 points). Peggy Anderton, with 24 points, won the under 14 championship from Betty Leunig (16 points). Cecilia Smith, with 20 points, won the under 12 championship, with Judy McRohan runner-up (18 points). Judy proved champion in the under 10 e vents also.

The memory of the illustrious Apostle of the Irish race was fittingly coinmemorated at Fremantle by a grand national concert on Friday evening, March 19, in the Fremantle Town Hall. It was a virtual triumph of music, song and story, at once a tribute to the organiser par excellence, Rev. Father Ryan, O.M.I.

Goldfields Celebrations ST. PATRICK'S DAY SPORTS. Delightful weather conditions prevailed on Wednesday, March 17, when the annual sports gathering was held on the Kalgoorlie Racecourse. A variety of sideshows claimed the attention of both young and old, whilst the whippet racing and foot running events attracted the more sporting minded of the crowd. In the foot running events (open to boys attending the Christian Brothers' College) points were awarded to the respective winners. Those boys representing Boulder evidenced a marked superiority over those representing Kalgoorlie, the Armstrong Shield, for which the boys were competing, being won by Boulder, with a total of 48 points. Kalgoorlie could manage only 24 Amongst those present were points. the President of the Legislative Council, Sir John Kirwan, the Minister for Justice, Mr. F. C. L. Smith, Messrs. J. . Cornell and E.

Sensational news girls! We have been very fortunate in procuring D'Arcy's popular rhythm band for our Saturday night dances. So come along, girls, bring all your friends, and help to make our dance the best in town. The meeting on Thursday night took the form of a social evening in honour of one of our members, Miss Nell McCormack, on the occasion of her approaching marriage to Mr, Jack King, who is well known among tennis and football enthusiasts. At the conclusion of the speech by the president, Nell was presented with a handsome mantle clock, after which games and competitions were enjoyed. Our president (Miss E. Walker) and secretary (Miss V, Mooney) represented the club at the St. Patrick's celebrations held by the Irish National Forresters on Wednesday night at Fremantle. They were made very welcome and enjoyed themselves very much. Misses Mary Korbosky and Teresa O'Sullivan have returned after spending an enjoyable vacation at Albany, and are looking very fit. Miss Eileen McMullen donated a charity ticket to the club, wh;ch was very much appreciated.

Prior to the raising of the curtain, Miss Kathleen Droney's versatile orchestra discoursed a charming variety of Irish Airs, which were enthusiastically received. Then there burst upon the view the children from East Fremantle School in all their loveliness, who were warmly received for their rendering of those pretty songs, The champion house cup was won by Moran (104 points).

Toodyay The popularity of Rev. Dr. Collins was fully exemplified on Friday, 12th. inst., at the Town Hall, when a crowded audience demonstrated their appreciation of his worth during his five years' sojourn in the parish of Toodyay. The folk had gathered from all parts of the extensive parish and also visitors were there from Perth and His brother, Detective Brookton. Collins, and his two sisters were among those present, and many people from Northam. The organiser (Mr. E. B. White) laid himself out to do justifiable honour to his friend and spiritual adviser. The hall was a picture, giving a kaleidoscopic effect as regards colour and His lieutenants were Messrs, light. G. N. and Sid Clarke, Sid being the "Young" Harry foreman decorator.

Very noticeable among those who attended our opening function were our dear friends from the Theresian Tennis Club, whose discernment is unbiassed by the fact that the Trades Hall is 10 miles from Perth—they know from experience where to come for a good time in a good Catholic atmosphere.

Jairus, Chief of the Synagogue— one of those -notable men of the city who had very lately sought out Jesus to implore His aid on behalf of the Roman Centurion; but this time he was to come to He entreat help for himself. fell down before the feet of the Saviour, pouring forth his prayer; and in every word of it one can note how uncontrollable and distracting was his grief. "Lord, my little child, my only daughter, is dying—she is dead— but, 0 come! lay your hands upon her and she shall live." A Sick Woman. Jesus rose up at once, and followed Jairus. The Apostles accompanied Him; behind them surged an excited throng of publicans, Pharisees, those disciples of John, and the people of the town, all eager to see what was about to happen. Now, amid this motley mass of humanity, there was a sick woman who had been subject to a loss of blood for some twelve Such a malady was a years. dreadful humiliation for any any daughter of Israel; because it was looked upon as a scourge that was only laid on women of wicked character, and hence those afflicted with it were avoided and despised. The poor sufferer had paid out all her means in fees to the physicians, but still in vain. She had undergone, without any benefit, all that peculiar trea(ment as to which the Talmud gives us some curious details, yet the disease grew greater every day. She had now given up all other hope save in Jesus; but she was still held hack by her timidity and shame, both because she had nothing at all to offer Him. and because her sickness was thought to be such a terrible disgrace; at last she resolved to get the gifts of grace by stealth, like a thief. Lively Faith. "If I can just touch His robe," she said to herself. "I shall be healed." Urged on by this intense and lively faith, she glided though the multitude. pushed her way right up to the Master, and furtively seized the tassel hanging from His mantle in her thin and wasted fingers. Scarcely had she tc:urhed it. when the issue of blo ,d was stopped; her trust had been rewarded. With beating heart and half choked with fear, she fe'l back amid the crowd. But though no on( had ty, ticed her act, Jesus knew it of Himself. Feeling at on-c.. that power had gone out from Him, he halted and turned toward Ow people. 'Who has touched My garment?" He said. A s each one began to rlead innocence. Peter and those round Him replied: "Master, the people :•rowd about and harass You, and can you ask, 'Who has touched me?'" "I have felt that p(.wer has ansgone out from Me." wered. "some one has touched Me."

utter BESSyrs NICCES and tit HE IS RISEN, Come, hail the Easter dawn, The earth no more forlorn, Grieves for its Maker silent in the tomb; Bright Sol with merry glance Now bids his sunbeams dance, And Nature throws aside her weeds of gloom. Now "Jungfrau Mutter- smiles, She heeds not former trials, She sees Her Son come as Death's conquering King.

See Magdalen rejoice To hear again His Voice, His joyous message thrills from tongue to tongue, The Lamb so lately slain In degradation's pain, Still hears from us that word the Angels sung—Alleluia! —AUNT BESSY. ,My Cornerites,—The custom of wishing each other "A Happy Easter' seems to have died down a lot as far as its religious significance goes. True, the Easter Week is becoming more and more abounding in all manners of socalled Easter eggs, but, apart from that and a few other material attractions the feast does not seem to be as much a feast at it used to be, and that is a pity, since it is connected with that fundamental truth of our Faith—the Resurrection of Our Lord from the dead—and above all other feasts in the cycle of the year, this one should truly be a cause of joy and hope to us, reviving our faith, and making us more inclined to love God and prove our gratitude to Him for giving us, through the Resurrection of His Son, our firmest security for hoping that eternal life with Him Who is human and divine will be our portion. It is also a celebration that can rightly be called The Victory of our Faith. Since the Great War so many separate celebrations are still held to commemorate different victories whose glory, alas, is probably destined to be sooner or later lost in other wars and other victories, but with Our Lord's victory over Death there will be no diminution of glory, and no end and we who profess to follow Him should be heart and soul in repeating that salutation which Holy Church places on our lips during this Season, namely, "Rejoice 0 Queen of Heaven!" There was a salutation, too, which Our Divine Lord Himself made frequent use of when greeting His friends after His Resurrection, and that was His salutation of Peace. Everywhere He went for the remainder of His days on earth He used it, and so I wish you, my Cornerites, those two heavenly fruits of His victory—Joy and Peace ----and an added serenity in the knowledge that whereas so many others are going on through this life in restless uncertainty as to what lies beyond it, you are privileged to believe in God and in the soul's immortality, and you have no more consoling proof of both than in the Mystery of the Death and Resurrection of Our Blessed Lord, AUNT BESSY• Recovery of Princess Elizabeth's Knobby Pin. Sandy McDougall's Scotch Stratagem. The knobby pin belonging to Prin. cess Elizabeth of Cork, which was advertised for in our Page, has been returned to its owner, and Her Royal Highness wishes us to thank the sender, or senders, and to assure them she will give them the reward next time they come to Perth, Following on the letter received from Sandy McDougall anent this valuable piece of the royal property, the Princess expressed her willingness to be at home to him on St. Patrick's Day, when he presented himself, with his mother and Mrs. McTavish. He was received with great marks of affection by Her Royal Highness, but on being asked to show us what he had found, he, acting under instructions from Mesdames McDougall and McTavish, refused, saying he preferred to know first what the nature of "the handsome reward" was.

The Princess who, in spite of her forty odd summers, still finds it not impossible to blush, then said that she had intended giving the finder of her knobby pin two kisses, one on either cheek, which, in the language of her royal upthinging would mean "two pecks." Sandy McDougall evidenced his shock by breaking one of his shoe laces and throwing the tag of it out of the window, under which Mesdames McDougall and McTavish, thinking as much to recover the tag as to give Sandy an opportunity of accepting the reward, made as if to accomplish the exit through the same window. They were prevented by the gallant son of Glasgownian ancestry who, in their presence then declared that he had never allowed himself to be kissed even once by any lady, either of blue or purple blood, except his mother, and that if such a reward was what Her Royal H.ighness deemed "A handsome one," he would retain the knobby pin until ;uch time as the Princess saw fit to charge it into half-a-crown. Thus ended the St. Patrick's Day interview, the Princess showing much chagrin and Sandy the trnst unchivalrous of cold shoulders. However, things began to move rapidly. Confident of having found the treasure, and determined not to forego his expectation of getting at least 2/6 out of his find, he hied him to another diocese, and disguising himself as "The Wandering Minstrel" and having borrowed a sales' licence from an Indian hawker, he knocked at the door of a certain convent at G and so played upon the soft hearts of the Mother Superior and the community of four that all five forthwith decided to view his wares, and fell to Sandy's salesman's tongue so effectively that before they knew what thee were about they found themselves in possession of a packet of minties, a bundle of tape, a sausage roll of un. certain antiquity, and the Knobby Pin belonging to Her Royal Highness, and Sandy made off, with his fare to paid, and 4/2 extra. Complications immediately set in. The Mother Superior and Community, having made a practice of reading The Children's Corner every Sunday night at recreation, the shrewd head among the five connected the appearance of the purchased pin with what Princess Elizabeth had advertised for (who says people don't notice our ads.?), where. upon the Mother Superior developed such an acute scruple about having bought stolen goods that two cups of Ovaltine failed to give her sleep that night. The following morning, after due consultation with everyone who had any weight in G , the Mother Superior resolved to case her conscience by sending back the pin to Her Royal Highness anonymously, and to this end the village poetess was en. gaged and requested to write an accompanying ode. This accomplished the Knobby Pin was placed in an exquisite case of royal blue velvet lined with white satin, and finished off with salmon pink, and to the Princess's delight she opened the case last Friday, and read the following:-. .Twa lost —now 'tis found— This Hack Knobby Pin, Between Oaks. and South Perth, It was found on the earth. Of value immense, Sentimental or not. Herewith we return To the Princess of Cork, This treasure she loves. The reward may be great, The reward may be small, But we'll hope to collect it, Next time that we call."

"THE BEATIFIC SMILERS." The popular songs that we hear nowadays, Are written to tunes most beguiling, If you listen your brain will soon be in a maze, For they all seem td advertise smiling. Thus, "Smile, Deane, Smile," and "Keep Smiling," alike, So often you hear in the town, That it makes one inclined p'rhaps to "get off their bike," And greet the mandate with a frown. Yet, even at times though I'm tempted to act In this way when the jazz tunes get strong, There are smiles made of kindness, of friendship and tact, To join which one would not be wrong. Such smiles I believe are the gladness of life, The good wine that helps to keep healthy The brother and sister, the husband and wife, Beside making them wise, too, and wealthy. Now away from the city of Perth, I believe, rhere is quite a select "Smilers' Club," The Smiles that its ...tembers wear never deceive, They don't wear off with rub-a-duly dub. They are not the smiles of the clown and the knave, Or the stars of the fil.-ns and the stage It is right in Katanning these smilers behave, Irrespective of class, sex or age. The smiles all come out on the good Sabbath Day, When the little Byrne Trio gets busy, And nobody ever will turn it away, too Should the Trio's appeals get dizzy. For the smilers. you see, have very sound hearts, They believe in the West's Bushies' Scheme, And so the Byrne Trio each Sunday departs With cash, and with smiles by the ream. Now, Mr, Tom Clune is the best of the lot, A nd as soon as you see, him about, There's no need to plan or to artfully plot, For 'himself" calls the Bushies' cards out. His eyes they are hazel, his heart it is big, And I wish him the best of good luck, For a little bird told me his knees got a dig From a wicked old ram in a truck. There's a gentleman tall with two eyes of grey, For "The Trots- his affection is keen, A gentleman farmer whose initials C.A. Are down for all charities seen. He likes sociability, so I am told, And the cafe an lait boasts his aid, But his smile's beatific, his voice cheery gold, When the Trio comes on for a raid. There are ladies, of course, in this Club, don't you know, They encourage the good gents. to smile, Their figures are neat and their voices so low, It's a statue they would not beguile. Auburn curls, black curls, eyes blue and brown, Gentle creatures who work for the church, Though they like to look charming in new hat and gown, They ne.er leave our Cause in the lurch.

I am not forgetting that I owe you many prayers, and hope that Saints Joseph and Patrick will do their expected best for your intention. AUNT BESSY. Bunbury.

AUNT BESSY, Doodlakine. Dear Aunt Bessy,—I suppose I will have to ask to join the Corner again, It's a long time since I last wrote to you. I wouldn't be writing now if it wasn't for the sad news I have to tell you, but first of all will you forgive me? (I will.) Well, the sad news is that my dear mother passed away last Sunday week and I was troubled to know if you would say a prayer for her ,so I thought I had better write and ask you. I am left to look after seven boys and my dear father. I am fourteen years and three months old. Please excuse me fot writing such a small letter, bet I don't feel up to writing letters. I hope you will forgive me and pray for my mother. With lots of love from—Your fond niece, MONICA. Dear Monica,—Before you read our Page you will know for certain sure that the prayers for your dear mother are being said, and we are all very sorry to hear that you have had the sorrow of losing your dear mother. R.I.P. Still, there are greater sorrows than death in this life, and if she was ready to go home to Our Blessed Lord, it would be selfish to wish she had been left here. I hope you will begin straight away to be a second mother to your seven brothers and a real splendid housekeeper for youi dear father, and a better cook than ever I became, because. although I studied Mrs. Beeton's cookery book for two hours before it was time to dish the dinner up the only pudding I was e ver able to make was the one she called "canary,- and my father wouldn't eat it because it looked like a piece of bog.

THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK.

PASCHAL SEQUENCE. (Translated from the Mass).

Sunday: "This is the day which the Lord hath made: let us be glad and rejoice therein." Monday: There are few defects that are not more pardonable than the means that are used to conceal them. Tuesday: God gives each one of us sufficient grace ever to know His holy will, and to do it fully.—St. Ignatius. Wednesday: If we would see the stars of His mysteries we must first descend into the deep well of humility. Thursday: Jesus Christ, Our Lord and Saviour, has taught us how to live, how to die, and how to conquer death. . Friday: It is no common honour that is conferred on the mouth that receives the Body of the Lord.—St. John Chrysostom. Saturday: To-day God invites you to do good; do it therefore to-day; to-morrow you may not have time, or God may no longer call you to do. it.

Let Christian men their voices raise, And sing the Pascal Victim's praise This solemn festival to keep. Christ, innocent and undefiled, Sinners to God hath reconciled, The Lamb redeemed' the Father's sheep, In this great triumph death and life, Together met in wondrous strife, The Prince of Life, once dead, doth reign. Say what thou sawest, Mary, say, Upon thy road at break of day? "Christ's glory as He rose again, I saw the tomb where He did lie, And angel witnesses hard by, The winding cloths were there to see. Christ, my hope, is risen and He A waiteth you in Galilee." We know that Christ is risen indeed, And, victor King, before thee plead, Have pity, Lord, and clemency. lAmen. Alleluia.

SQUAD SHOOT PRIEST AS HE PRAISES CHRIST-KING. How a 29-year-old Carmelite Father, ordained only two years, was martyred in Spain is described in the `Osservatore Romano." The priest, Father Joseph Gonzalez, of the Hinoyosa del Duque community, Cordoba. was seized by Red troops and taken by lorry to the tribunal through a screaming mob. As the car pulled up before the headquarters he was dragged down brutally into the road, unable to defend himselc as his hands were tied behind him. "Are you a brother?" asked .the committee spokesman. "I am a priest and a brother. Can't you see that by my (Iress'?" replied Father Gonzalez. "Shout 'Long live Communism' and we will let you go," he was told, but he replied. "I can only praise Christ the King." The Reds insisted, but he still refused, so they led him into the street again and put him up against the wall before a firing squad. The leader gave him a last chance to recant. In reply, he shouted "Long live Christ the King." and fell riddled with bullets.

Murder in a Scottish Monastery Fifth Centenary of King James I. P>_\

_\BBOT HUNTER BLAIR. murder, on February 21, 1437, just five centuries ago, of a King of Scots, James Stuart, first of the name, actually slain within the hallowed precincts of one of the religious houses mentioned above, the monastery of the D omidicans, or Blackfriars, which had often been the residence of himself, and his royal ancestors. and within whose church the national Parliament of Scotland had more than once sat.

RT. REV, SIR DAVID HUNTER Titular Bishop of Abingdon. The venerable city of Perth in Scotland, once so rich and famous that a Latin line written in the thirteenth century recorded how "Perth the whole kingdom with her wealth supplies," has f ew material remains to-day of her former greatness and grandeur. • True, the noble parish church of St. John (once known as the K irk of the Holy Cross of St. John the Baptist) is still the pride and glory of the inhabitants. but of the other splendid buildings. secular and religious, raised in the Middle Ages, hardly a single stone remains. The imposing castle and citadel, and the ancient parliament-house, have entirely vanished: so have at least a dozen lovely old churches and chapels, and (needless to say) every single one of the splendid monasteries, those of the Mackfriars. the Greyfriars, the Whitefriars, the Carthusians (the only house of thaA Order in Scotland). and the convents of Our Lady and St. Leonard. The destruction of religious houses and churches in Perth was the most complete in all Scotland, and enjoys unenviable notoriety as the greatest iconoclastic triumph of John Knox and his "rascal multitude."

Slain Within the Cloister. Why do I dwell to-day on this

The black deed of that February midnight in the cloister of Blackfriars was the tragic culmination of a life of less than fifty years, of which nineteen had b een spent as a prisoner of the K ing of England. Captured at sea by an English ship. the boy was carried to England, detained at Windsor, London and elsewhere, not unkindly t reated, and carefully educated. In 1424 he was happily married. p ermitted to return to Scotland, and solemnly crowned at Scone For thirteen years he ruled his K ingdom justly if severely. zealous for his people's rights. blame less in his private life and fervent in the spread of religion and learning. The famous univer:ity of St. Andrews was founded in his reign. The Last Scene at Blackfriars A miserable family feud. in which James' own near relations were the chief conspirators. brought his reign to its untimely close. W e have an almost contemporary narrative vividly describing the last scene: the loving cup round the fire, the departure of his guests: his final chat with his queen and her ladies, and them. the sudden arrival and forced entrance of the murderous band. Immortal is the name of poor Catherine Douglas. called "Barlass," who heroically barred the ,'uor with her arm and had it broken by the invaders. Nothing could save the doomed anonarch. whose breat was pierced with sixteen wounds. His murderers were caught and executed, and his body was laid, amid a people's tears, in the Perth Charter house. xvhich he himself had founded.

Father Coughlin Resumes Broadcasting Dying Wish of Late Bishop Gallagher A request made by Bishop Gallagher. shortly before his rather sudden death, has been revealed by Father Charles Coughlin as the reason why he has resumed broadcasting.

DR. ILALLIDAY SUTHERLAND makes a suggestion to facilitate assist ance from readers of G.K.'s works to wards a memorial fund 41•1111=1.

"ENGLAND SHOULD NOW BE ALMOST CATHOLIC." Dr. Sutherland Blames Appalling Leakage. The magnificent number of conversions and the high birth rate among Catholics should normally make England preponderantly- Catholic by now, said Dr. Halliday Sutherland recently, at the eighth annual dinner of K.S.C. Council, at the Saracen's Head, Beaconsfield.

Last November, when President Roosevelt overwhelmingly defeated the candidate supported by the "Radio Priest," Father Coughlin said he would never again appear before the microphone. A few days after the death of Bishop Gallagher. however, he renounced his resignation and broadcast a tribute to the Bishop. "On his last visit to the Shrine of the Little Flower"—at Royal Oak. Michigan—some few days ago," said Father Coughlin, "Bishop GallaOer expressed his desire that I should resume my broadmzting activities immediately, primarily to expound the doctrines of Christianity and to expose the fallacies of Communism.

"Even though I were reluctant to resume my place before the microphone. I regard it as as duty to address you to-day and henceforth regularly, to fulfil the last wish of my Bishop, my counsellor, my guide and my friend. "At least a thousand times, without exaggeration, Bishop Gallagher encouraged me to preach the doctrine of Christ as expounded by the heroic Leo XIII. Some 40 years ago he said: 'I do not regard the "Rerum Novarum" of Leo as a pious essay. I look upon it as a practical yardstick with which we must measure the new system of economics. The old system has failed. Christ's system as explained by Leo must he established.' "Frofri 'this great Bishop I gained my inspiration. By virtue of his encouragement I pursued the path which he had blaz. ed for me. God grant that I may be faithful to this task in his death even more than I was in his life."

Unfortunately this is not the case owing to the appalling leakage and that is why the K.S.C. squire movement particularly appealed to him, continued the doctor. Dr. Sutherland went on to say that as he felt he was in some measure taking the place of the late G. K. Chesterton, last year',; guest of honour, he would like to suggest that all future editions of G.K.'s works should contain a small note on the last page to the effect that "if you enjoyed this book, would you like to contribute something to the author's Surely pubmemorial fund?" li2thers could raise no objection, and the appeal, while being very wide, would entail no expense.

It is the Chesterton Medal, and will be awarded for excellence in controversy.
