The result is that Liberalism has become a tool of Communism, nearly all the intellectuals have become "near-Communists," and the Liberal Press has been given over to Communist propaganda. In Spain an alliance was formed with the Liberals, Socialists, and Left Republicans.

The foundations of anarchy were laid by their alliance with the Anarcho-Syndicalists and other Marxist bodies. To these extremist supporters they preached anarchy and the seizure of power by the proletariat; to the more moderate Liberals they proclaimed their adherence to Democracy and religious toleration.

The result was that, when the Popular Front Cabinet took office, its members were all of Left Republican sympathies, supported by the Communists; w hile the extremist bodies set up a reign of terror which took effective government out of the hands of the Cabinet. On the outbreak of the civil war the extremists took complete control, but the fiction of Democracy was preserved by keeping in office deputies who had been elected to Parliament. These deputies, of course, have no power except in so far as they are connected with the Proletarian parties; but they are useful as a smokescreen to deceive the Liberals throughout the world. General Franco, the leader of the Nationalist forces, does not scruple to express his contempt for representative institutions, which never have been successful in Spain. He also declares that the Catholic Church is the essential bond of unity in Spain, and he asserts that he is fighting "for God and Spain." The extreme Reds have completely abolished all forms of religion in the territory they control, burning nearly all the churches aryl massacring, in many cases with inhuman torture,- a large proportion of the priests and religious, and also many lay people who had been known to practise their religion. Thus, to Liberals throughout the world, the struggle is one between the forces of democracy and those of privilege, superstition and reaction. General Franco is an anachronism, which should not be allowed to exist, and it is not necessary even to try to be fair to such an absurdity. The Valencia Government, in the Liberal's eyes, is fighting for democracy. Thus its supporters. the A narchists and Communists. are fighting on the right side.

C ATHOLIC ENGLAND
T is of the greatest ' importance for the student of English literature to remember that England was once a devoutly Catholic country; for, just as it is impossible to understand the history of Europe without taking into account the Catholic Faith, so it is impossible to appreciate fully the literature of pre-Reformation days in Eni-land, "Our Lady's Dowry,' without at least some knowledge of the practical Cathclicism of that time. .....In mediaeval England it was the custom for people t., rise early—six o'clock was the usual time. In an old poem of the period, we read:
"At svxe of the clocke without delay Use commonly to ryse, And give God thanks for thy good rest When thou openest thyn eyes." Great importance was attached to the recital of daily morning prayers in the family circle. In one book of the time we find a very beautiful exhortation: "As soon as ye do awake in the morning to arise for al day, first sodeynly tourne your mind and remembrance unto Almighty God; and then use to make a cross with your thombe on your forehead, then another upon your mouthe ; and then a third upon your breast." Religious Practice. Next came the morning Mass. Such an eminent historian as Cardinal Gasquet maintains that people in pre-Reformation times were not satisfied that they had done their duty to God if they did not hear Mass daily. The Holy Sacrifice was said at fom, five or six in the morning to accommodate travellers and those who had to go to work early. At a later hour Mass was celebrated for the parish: and at the Sanctus it was the custom in many c hurches to ring a bell to warn those in the fields that the moment of Consecration was near. Knights in particular were expected to hear Mass every day. And it is a noteworthy fact that many of the nobles and feudal lords used have chaplains in their own households to facilitate their assisting at daily Mass. In those ages of faith the presence of God was not forgotten. In many households it was the custom to recite the Little Office of the Blessed Virgin day by day, thus joining with the Divine Office said by the priests. Every night children used present themselves to their parents for their blessing. Piously kneeling, each child would pray : "Father (or mother), I beseech you of charity give me your blessing." Then the parent would say. "Our Lord God bless you," and make the Sign of the Cross over the child. It is touching to study how God was ever present to these old English Catholics. On many important documents and accounts the names of Jesus and Mary are found at the head; and wills especially were replete with _ _txpressions of faith and piety. Not only was the Faith a vital factor in the family life—it influenced also the social life of Englishmen. The social guilds. the mediaeval equivalent of our modern friendly societies, were L . t.._all under the patronage of a saint: special prayers were said

The poet's references to the liturgical hymn, "Alma Redemp, tons Mater," in the tale of the Prioress, illustrate the familiarity of the old English Catholics with the Church's own praises of Mary.

One of the welcome to spend the night in geatest of these Miracle plays, the monastery's guest house. "Everyman," gives a powerful lesson in the Four Last Things. Even to-day this play is enacted, and it never fails to appeal. because of its touching simplicity and quaint humour. We can realise how living was the Catholicism of mediaeval England when we remember that the Miracle plays enjoyed the utmost popularity. The labour of production and the services of the actors (who were originally clerics) were generally voluntary, and the proceeds went to swell the parish funds.

at the meetings; and as many as thirty Masses were offered for the repose of the souls of dead members. Sometimes these guilds undertook to repair churches and support schools; and the wealthier ones used retain the services of a chaplain. The guilds were, moreover, bulwarks against pauperism by steadying the price of labour and by assisting the poor, the aged, and the sick. The Poor. It was regarded as a sacred duty for a Catholic Englishman of the Middle Ages, who had been blessed by God with worldly wealth, to help his less fortunate brethren, the poor. This duty was specially incumbent on bishops and priests. "Those ecclesiastics," writes Cardinal Gasquet, "who consumed the revenues of their cures on other than necessary and fitting purposes, were declared to be defrauders of the poor." Langland's "Vision of Piers Plowman" and Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales," show definitely how much importance was attached to helping the poor. Such men as the Pardoner. who "whan that he fond A poore person dwellinge upon lond. Upon a day he gat him more moneye Than that the person gat in monthes tweye," rightly earn the scorn of the poet Chaucer; but, on the contrary, the Poor Parson receives a magnificent eulogy, because "He was a shepherde, and noght a mercenarie." The monasteries, too, which were dotted all over England, gave great assistance to the poor. No beggar was ever turned away from their gates. But the socalled Reformation smashed the effect of this benevolent state of affairs. The monasteries were despoiled and razed to the ground, the guilds were abolished and their reevnues confiscated. The immediate result was the terrible tide of pauperism which flooded England. providing a very knotty problem indeed for the Protestant Queen, Elizabeth. Monasticism. That the monasteries were very numerous the existence of their ruins proves. St. Augustine's Abbey at Canterbury was the centre of devotion because it contained the enshrined relics of the Apostle of England. But after the martyrdom of St. Thomas a' Becket in 1170 in the neighbouring cathedral of Canterbury, the piety of the age was diverted o the martyr's shrine there. The great Benedictine house of St. Alban's was another famous monastery. It contained the relics of St. Alban. the first martyr of England. Then there were, to mention but a few. Buckfast Abbey in Devonshire, on the site of which a new Benedictine monastery has recently arisen; Glastonbury Abbey: Battle Abbey: Abbey of Fountains. of which its annalist monk. Setlo, wrote:

The piety of the age found an outlet in pilgrimages. To go on pilgrimage was a very popular forms of devotion amongst all classes. England had its own shrines. There was, for instance, the shrine of Our Lady of Walsing-ham, which contained a much revered image of the Blessed Mother. The shrine of St. Thomas of Canterbury was enriched with gold and precious stones. There was a great wave of devotion .to the martyr. The English of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries felt that he was a saint of their own day, just as to-day one of the reasons why the Little Flower is so universally loved is because she is of our own time. The more wealthy people went on long pilgrimages to Rome, Jerusalem. or Cotnpostella, to pray at the shrines of the saints or in places in the Holy Land made sacred by the footsteps of Our Saviour. Devotion to Mary. Devotion to the Blessed Virgin was a great characteristic of the faith of mediaeval England. Many are the references • to her in the literature of the period: but nothing is more beautiful and devout than Chaucer's own tribute to Our Lady in "The Canterbury Tales": "Lady! thy bountee. thy magnificence. Thy vertu, and thy grete humilitee Then may no tonge expresse in no science: For soin-tyme. lady. en men preye to thee. Thoui goost biforn of thy benignitee. And getest us the light, thurgh thy prevere To gy-den us un-to thy sone so dere."
If the truths of Faith were often presented to the people in this form, it must not be imagined that this was the only way. At church people were taught the Scriptures; and that they were familiar with the incidents of the Bible is clear from the literature of the period. England, it is true, was late in producing a vernacular version of the Bible; and it has been supposed by some historians that the Church was hostile to any such version. But, as Cardinal Gasouet argues, "it would seem more in accordance with all that can be known on the matter to conclude that it was because the need was not considered so pressing." Most educated people had the Scriptures in Latin, and it is certain that some at least had them in English. In the "Canterbury Tales" we are (riven an account of the extensive knowledge of the Doctor of Physic, and then, in an illuminating sidelight on this char 1.cter,, Chaucer adds as a fact worfl,y of notice: "His studie was but litel the Bible,"
on
the inference being that, if this Doctor was careless with regard to reading the Scriptures, the majority of men were not. Those English Bibles (such as Tylis &Ws). which were later forbidden by the Church. were translations which contained heretical teaching. As a final word, we must hear in mind that, human nature being what it is, there were then, as now, scandals and lapses in morals amongst the faithful: conversation was often very coarse. and oaths frequently sprang to the lips. But the Faith was always a strong and vital factor in the conduct of mediaeval Eng lishmen: and that same Catholic Faith, unchanged and unchangeable. is still strong and flourishing "in spite of dungeon, fire, and sword."

"(2) The publication of a solidarity card and stamp; "(3) The making of a badge; "(4) The organisation of Days various under of Solidarity forms; gifts from members of the Chamber of Deputies or others elected by the people; subscriptions collected through the Press; collections made by the municipalities; subsidies from organisations and collective societies; gifts from doctors and chemists; gifts from co-operative workers and shop assistants; help from the French to the Spanish Youth Movements; from the women of France to the women of Spain; "(5) National days on the 15th. and 16th. of August, when we shall apply to the French Government for authorisation to make collections in the provinces; fetes, "(6) Organisation of gathermass meetings and ings. . . PS Intensive Campaign. In its issue of August 7, "La Defense," which is the weekly paper of the French Committee of International Red Aid, commenced to publish subscription lists. Enthusiasm was aroused amongst the Left sections, and there followed mass meetings. On August 9, a meeting at Saint Cloud demanded "cannons and aeroplanes for Spain." Under for the slogan: "Aeroplanes Spain," a demonstration was given at the Parc des Princes on August 25.- One of the posters displayed at that demonstration ran as follows :— "To the Help of the Spanish People. Frenchmen! You are shuddering with horror at the news of the massacre of the populations of Badajoz, Granada, Oviedo, and Saragossa, by the factious generals and their bandit legions. You thrill with enthusiasm over the example of the heroic people of Spain who defend our liberty as well as their own from Fascism, the instigator of wars, civil and international. You join with fervour in the formidable movement of solidarity which excites in Republican France a sympathy with Republican Spain, that motor lorries, aeroplanes, and a cargo of food stuffs and first-aid material may be sent to her aid. The Red Aid of France, which wants to endow our country with a united powerful association of solidarity has put all the strength of its followers at the service of the Commission of Solidarity of the Rassemblement The subscriptions, Populaire. joined to those of the C.G.T., have reached two million francs in three weeks.

The cause of 'the breach was chiefly political. Photius usurped the See of Constantinople from the lawful Patriarch, Ignatius, and was supported by the Eastern Emperor. In the year 863 Pope Nicholas I. excommunicated the usurper for his sacrilegious treatment of the Patriarch, and from that moment the Greek Schism formally began. Although Greek Orthodoxy has a valid priesthood, the training given to its clergy is very loose and disorganised. Hence freelance Bishops have from time to time made the most extraordinary statements, have been entangled in conflicting- jurisdiction's, and -have even conferred Holy Orders on outsiders. All this has tended greatly to complicate the question of re-union. In modern times a, growing tendency has been manifested for an alliance The advance of time will probably widen with Anglicanism. the breach.

NEDLANDS On Sunday, May 9, the Church of the Holy Rosary will be blessed and opened by His Grace the Archbishop, who will celebrate Pontifical High Mass at 9.30 a.m., and officially open the church at 3 p.m. Rev. Dr, J. T. McMahon will preach the ocasional sermon. The additions, which have been designed by Mr. E. Le B. Henderson, will conform in style to the eirsting building, being perpendicular Gothic. The sanctuary and marble altar are in the course of construction. These also are of Gothic design. The altar is in white carrara marble. .Considwith red Australian marble. Considerable thought has been given to the sanctuary and altar, as these are the focal points of devotion and attention in a church, On account of the building operations, Mass will be celebrated in the School Hall on Sunday, May '2, at 7 a.m. and 9.30 a.m. Notwithstanding the inclemency, of the weather last Sunday night, a good number of ladies braved the storm and came along to make arrangements for afternoon tea on the opening day. The rain seemed to make the meeting all the more enthusiastic, because all were unanimous about providing afternoon tea and all the requirements for the catering. The cars of some of those present evidently relaxed during the meeting, as they had to be pushed part of the way home while their owners w alked the remaining distance. A General Communion of all the sodalitieS and of all parishioners will be held on the Sunday following the opening, May 16, at the 7 o'clock Mass. The Children of Mary will receive Holy Communion in regalia, members of „tile Holy Name Society will kindly- 'wear their badges, and members of the Sacred Heart Sodality their ribbon and The choir has kindly conbadge. sented to repeat the Mass they have prepared for the opening.

St. Mary's, Leederville The sultry •weather is gone; the long desired cool change has come at last, and with it our weekly entertainments have got into their stride once again. The Weekly Dance on last Tuesday night was indeed very tine and brought pleasant memories of the halcyon clays, when St. Mary's spacious hall used to be almost uncomfortably packed. Last Tuesday's dance augurs well for the success of this winter's series. The spot dances were won by Mr. A xford and Miss Wiggins and Mr. Shackelton and Miss McCartney. The organising and catering were carried out by Mesdames Daly and Hales. A Carnival Night. Next Tuesday's fixture will be a carnival night right on to midnight. The price of the ticket remains at 1/6 no tax . We have an excellent train service to and from St. Mary's Halt till 12.45, so patrons need not worry about that matter. St. Mary's Hibernians will be in charge next Tuesday night, and an excellent night's recreation may be confidently expected. The Weekly Euchre last Tuesday drew a much larger attendance ,and the play, which was enjoyed by all, passed off without a hitch, Mr. - Riding and Mrs. Taylor, with eleven games each, tied for the first prize of £3. Next Tuesday will be a long night. Play, which is held in the lesser hall, starts punctuall,- at 8.30. The first prize is 13 and £2 will be available for the six selected games. Trams 15 and 16 stop at the door. The Prise Packet begins to- ,function on Sunday, Ma'- 2. so there is yet time to come in. It is hoped and confidently expected that every wage earner in the panif will be a member this year. Simpkins: "Mv wife threatens to leave me unless I give up golf."

His Grace the Archbishor. His Grace said that he was delighted to be with the people of K ellerberrin and to see the ealisation of the much needed presbytery convenient to the church. His Grace emphasised the fact that his principal objection to the old presbytery was its disHe tance from the church. pointed out the acts of vandalism and sacrilege which had taken place in other districts and said that in most cases these could have been avoided had the priest been living in close proximity to The priest is the his church. custodian of the Blessed Sacrament, and for that reason it was his object as Archbishop to see that the priests resided close to their churches.

SERVILE WORKS AND SUNDAY REST. The French Jesuits, Father B ouillard and Father Bret, have tried to formulate the law of Sunday Rest in terms better adapted to modern conditions, and this is what they propose: (1) The term "servile" should be reserved to theologians only, and discarded from the catechism and public usage, as it is offensive to modern workers, and fails to convey its original meaning. (2) The notion of servility having disappeared, works should not be divided into material and intellectual, for the ',purpose of the commandment, but be judged by their intention or purpose; the commandment would then read as in Genesis: to abstain on Sundays from the week's customary work for the purpose of rest, distraction and sanctification. Forbidden work would be "the week's professional work for a salary." Intention and purpose, therefore, become all-important. (3) Permissible work on Sundays would be all unpaid work, which is not an obstacle to rest. distraction, and sanctification of the day. This would, as far as possible, exclude the usual work of week days. (4) "The old rule of two hours' work constituting a mottal sin is out of date; it is wellnigh impossible to say what in this matter is a mortal sin, hi our opinion," says Father Bouillard, "actual contempt for the c ommandment. deliberate prevention of sanctification, or senous scandal, would alone consti • tute grievous matter." (5) On Sunday would be allowed all works that comfort soul and both': their object being religion, disitraction, relaxation, charity, urgent help, social necessity. ("Revue Apologetique.")

ROMAN CIVILISATION SURPASSES NORDIC KULTUR. Teaching of Hilaire Belloc. Hilaire Belloc, internationally famous as a novelist, critic and historian, and considered one of the most prolific writers of the century, is conducting a series of lectures on current history-social, economic and political--as a member of the faculty of Fordham University Graduate School. It is the first time that the eminent critic, journalist, and lectured has served on the faculty of an American university.
Hilaire Belloc is generally acclaimed as the foremost satirist and essayist of the times, ranking even above George Bernard Shaw and the late Gilbert K.
Chesterton for the quality and diversity of his writing.

THE RECORD.
cJviCTOrk c2v/ISSIONS in ENGLAND FADERS will probably be interested to hear. out-of-doors of the work for the Faith in England. Though outi6or propaganda-work possesses one main object—the explanation of the Faith to our non-Catholic brethren—it actually has a twofold effect: the preservation of the Faith by reclaiming numbers of the "lapsed" (who are often stirred out of their apathy), and the extension of the Faith by the immediate clearing of the ground of prejudice, and the eventual individual instruction of our nonCatholic brethren. Much has been written on the subject of outdoor propaganda, especially as regards the Catholic Evidence Guild. I do not propose in these brief notes to deal with that aspect of the subject, but with a work of outdoor • propaganda which predates the work of the Catholic Evidence Guild, a work which has been carried out by priests for nearly thirty years. This is the Motor Mission organised each year by the Catholic Missionary Society of London, a society of diocesan priests founded by Cardinal Vaughan in the year 1902 for the special purpose of bringing the . evidence of the Church's teaching before the minds of non-Catholics. It may here be mentioned that although there are here and there individual priests doing outdoor platform-work for the Faith, the Catholic Missionary Society is the only body of priests in Britain actually banded together .for this specific purpose. They are all diocesan priests, loaned by their respective Ordinaries for an indefinite period, determined by two factors: the time during which the priest himself wishes to devote himself to this work. and the requiring of him by the Bishop for some particular post. The present Archbishop of Liverpool, for instance, was with the C.M.S. for fifteen years before his appointment to Upholland College. Typical Motor Mission. The following notes give the outline of a typical Motor Mission. the 1936 tour in the Archdiocese of Birmingham. During , the ten weeks' run, the nine ' priests of the C.M.S. and thirteen priests from various Religious Orders and Congregations took part in the mission. Each priest gives one, two, or three weeks to the Motor Mission according to his other engagements. This year the following Orders and Congregations were represented; I give the names. in the sequence in which they appeared on the Motor Mission: Passionists. Dominicans. Vincentians, Franciscans, Capuchins. Jesuits, Redemptorists. Augustinians of the A ssumption. Benedictines. and Franciscan Friars Minor. Two experienced lay speakers from the Catholic Evidence Guild also took part. The attendance at the outdoor platform naturally varies according to the nature of the locality. Generally speaking, rural areas are comparatively unresponsive, , while in the industrial areas we t are able to gather large crowds, limbering from three to eight hundred, or even a thousand. The last-named figure was reached a st year at Uttoxeter. Staffs, and wo years ago, also, in Aberdare, lamorganshire, a centre heavily ed with Communism. The al area, the country town, pre-
sent a special problem. One priest from a local Abbey—Belmont Abbey near Hereford—once tried for a whole year to obtain an outdoor crowd there, but the residents proved to be of that mentality characterised by local priests as "boiled turnips." It makes one realise how tragic was the tearing away of the Faith in England from such folk in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, so tenacious are they of established custom and tradition.

It widens the knowledge of the Catholics present, especially AMERICAN TYPE OF MOTOR-CHAPEL, as regards the practical difficultie of those outside the Church 3. It gets a number of non-Catholics to continue their inquiries begun during the Motor Mission and so eventually to come under individual instruction. As to how many actual conversions result, precise figures are not easy to obtain. I am hopiing to acquire from various sources some more precise data on this point, which up to now have not been collected and published; but, at any rate, we can say that almost every outdoor worker. whether priest or layman, has . heard of some results arising directly or at least indirectly from the outdoor Father Christopher Sullivan, an .A..mrican missionary, photographed in work; and many can point to perNew York prior to his departure for China.

Motor Chapel Described. A word about the Motor The chapel is a Chapel itself. large vehicle built on a lorry chassis and fitted up inside with all the requirements of a chapel for the purpose of saying Mass in places where there is no neighbouring church. On special occasions, however, Mass is said in the Motor Chapel in parishes where there is adjacent an parish church, wherever the priest welcomes this. Such was the case, for instance, at Dorchester-on-Thames and at Rugelev. Staffs., in which latter parish Father Shackles, S.J., Choir Master at Beaumont College sang Mass in the Motor Chapel in the Market Square, while one of the priests of the C.M.S. explained the course of the Mass for the lany benefit of those present. non-Catholics were witnesses of One of the most striking this. features of this particular event was the attendance of the nuns from the adjacent convent* who led the singing of the proper of the Mass. It had taken some little persuasion to make the good Sisters believe that we really wanted them to do that!

"CHRIST IN THE NEVER NEVER."
A LITURGICAL CATECHISM
One in the Never Never Took up his swag and walked; His head was bent, his shoulders hunched, He hardly ever talked; And, as he went, his downcast eyes Nor this nor that way turned; The once green root of fellowship To dull, dead ashes burned.
Q. What are the essential characteristics of every act of liturgical worship? A. 1. It is a public act of wo/ship paid to God. 2. It is an act performed in the name of and on behalf of the whole Christian people. 3. It is an act accomplished by a duly accredited minister, one who is specially deputed by the Church to carry out the divine worship, which the Church, as a society, renders to God.
Yet when he flung his swag to eartn, And sat without a word, Out of the nearest bush there dropped IA friendly little bird, And from the grass a lizard came; And there with head aside, Maybe, as each one watched, it saw The Christ the man denied. —Dame Mary Gilmore.
Q. Of what does this worship of the Church mainly consist? A. It consists of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, of the Divine Office, of the Sacraments, €acramentals and processions.

St. Peter was born at Nimeguen, in Holland, 1521; he entered the Society of Jesus, and such was his zeal as a preacher that Leo XIII. has called him the sec'011(1 apostle of Germany after St. Boniface.

French Jays Monk Who Has Been Repatriated to Greece. Another gruesome tale of conditions in soviet concentration camps comes from a Greek monk of the Mount Athos community. he m onk's name is Jewgenij. He had been on a religious mission in Russia since 1914 and was arrested in Rostow in 1920 because of his activities. He has now been released to the Greek .overnment in exchange for some Russian Communists ari-.!sted in Greece. A ccording to his report 123 Orthodox priests were executed in the Rostow gaol. One Arch.0:shop and one priest died of s tarvation there. A contingent of 10,000 prisoners. including the Athos- monk, w ere sent to the concentration camp of Kotlas in sealed freight coaches which took eight days to reach their destination. Every third day the coaches were opened by the guards to remove the corpses of prisoners who had died under the terrific strain en route. Only 300 Survive. Food, too, was handed to the prisoners only every third day. .pon reaching their rail destina(ion the prisoners had to walk for twelve days. through. snow and bitter cold, with never a roof over their heads, to the concen tration camp situated near the sources of the northern Dwina river. Only 300 of the 10,000 who formed the expedition arrived there alive. Some 300,000 prisoners are now held in the Kotlas camp.
