Sacred Heart Narrowly Defeat Loreto College for Champion Cup Uncertain weather somewhat marred the G.S.S.S.A. fixture this year, but despite the probability o f rain, hundreds of representatives of the various schools competing turned out to encourage their respective teams to victory The majority of the matches were vigorously contested and spectators fully enjoyed watching the game played at its best. dreaded Unhappily, the long rainfall eventually caused a p6stponement of the tournament— ironically when but part of one match remained uncompleted This was all the more unfortunate in that the final result was left in the balance. However, on the following day, Friday, April 23, the competition was successfully finalised. the Cup for the Champion School being won by Sacred Heart High School (19 points), with Loreto Ladies' College (17 points), the 11 1:: 1: ::

He's ignorant, strident, and, moreover, I have always thought that you hated him!" 'My friend, have you noticed the Grand Staircase of the Paris Opera House?" " Yes but what has that got to do with it'?" "It is one hundred and fifty feet high. Its steps are solid blocks of its polished and gleaming marble.

The butcher greeted the customer with an embarrassed air. "I'm very sorry, madam, but I cannot give you further credit, Your Lill is bigger now than it should be." The customer looked at him coldly. ''1'm quite aware of that," she said. "if you make it out for what it should be I'll pay it." 4'

BY REV. DR.
R UMEILE.s., Adam's Religion L. Fletcher, St. George, Qld.: What was the religion of Adam and Eve, Prior to their lapse into sin, their religion consisted of die beliefs and duties manifested to them by God in His first revelaAfter their fall tions to them. into sin, their religion included also a belief in a Redeemer to come in accordance with God's promise on the occasion of their lapse. Its Change to "Roman Catholic."
,
If the first religion was Catholic, what change took place causing the Catholic religion to be called Roman Catholic? do not know of any religion which can rightly be called "Roman Catholic." A better way to put your question would be to ask how the Catholic religion came to have its headquarters located in Rome. But your whole query manifests an extraordinary lack of knowledge concerning the origin and progress of revealed religion. God gave His revelation to mankind progressively, promising a Redeemer to Adam and Eve, and through them to all mankind in a truly Catholic spirit. by His primitive revelation. That revelation He amplified and made more explicit by various communications to the ancient Patriarchs, to Moses, and the succession of Prophets prior 'to Christ. When Christ cur Redeemer came, this preparatory phase of the Catholic religion gave way to its fulfilment; and w hen Christ established His Church He commissioned that Church to preach to all nations the fact that He had fulfilled God's promises, and had accom!Ashed the redemptive work. As head of His Catholic Chutch earth He appointed St. Peter, who went to Rome and died in that city, leaving as successor to his supremacy over the whole Church the Bishop of Rome. That is how the Catholic religion in its later and more perfect stage came to have its headquarters located in Rome. Powers of the Devil. Could the devil appear to people to-day as he did to our first parents? He could do so. did God permit it. Whether God would permit it or not to any given people and under any particular circumstances I do not know. Did his powers cease when he was condemned to hell? No. He had already been condemned to hell when he tempted our first parents. Since the coming of Christ. however, his activities in regard to mankind have been greatly restricted. Is his influence confined to that spiritual force which is handed down from generation to • generation and which we call "original sin"? Though due to Satan's treacht:•ry, original sin is not a positive .niritnal force. It is rather the 7itl ence of the spiritual force of divine and sanctifying grace. A
consequence of this' absence is a certain disorder in man's very nature, warping his mind and disturbing the balance which should prevail between his will and his passions. Yet Satan's influence is not confined even to these .transmitted deficiencies. Over and above inherited evils, he is still able to tempt men within such limits as God permits. Minor Questions. Do choir-singers know the English equivalent of the Latin they sing? Some do. Some do not. I mean, is it to be sung for the ritual, or in praise of God. All who sing in Catholic choirs should have the intention of offering that praise to God which the liturgical language expresses. Did Christ give any parable insisting on the harmony, peace, and justice which should prevail between employer and employee? 1 can recall no parable given precisely for that purpose. But He gave certain parables which supposed such justice in order to inculcate the cultivation of right relations between the soul and God in the business of one's eterThus He used nal salvation. as an illustration of God's j. ustice that of the employer who hired labourers for his vineyard at different hours of the day. And, in the parable of the unjust steward. He illustrated our own failure in duty to God.
As regards the teaching of the Catholic Church concerning man, you are again inaccurate. The Church teaches that man, in his present composite state, is mortal; and that man will surely die in so far as the present union of soul and body is concerned. But whilst death will mean the separation of soul and body, the soul will persist in existence in accordance with its own spiritual nature. And precisely because as the Bible teaches, the soul of man is made in the image and likeness of God, one ot whose characteristics is immortality. He, the uncreated Immortal, creates souls immortal like unto Himself. He owes His immortality to no one; we owe the immortality of our souls to Him. And it is quite true that God alone hath immortality both in Himself, and to confer it upon others in His creative activity.
mony took place outside the Catholic Church, that marriage contract was and remains null and void so far as the Catholic Church is concerned. The Church regards that man as a single man, whether he becomes a Catholic or not. Of course, this is provided the first marriage with the Catholic woman, which took place outside the Church, was not later rectified according to Catholic requirements. If no such rectification took place, the man in question would be free to contract another marriage just as any other single man so far as the Catholic Church is concerned. And that, as I have said, whether he becomes a Catholic or not.

As he had no real fears of pagan or atheistical schools, we may safely say that he objected to religious schools conducted by Christian bodies. and desired to nupose upon the people non-religious schools. But, if the product o f a religious school is likely to he a religious child, the product of a non-religious school is likely to be a non-religious child. And the question arises as to the right of President Grant to decide that religious parents must accept a non-religious training for their children because his ideas favoured such training. No one would dispute his right to prescribe the upbringing of his own children; but when he wants to prescribe for other people's c hildren he exceeds his powers altogether.

At the close of a niissicn preacked by St. Francis of Assisi, about 1910, the enthusiasm of th-2 people in Tiuscany became so great that many dosired to withdraw from the "world in complete solitude. Most especiativ did a certain merchant of Pocsi13onzi and his good wife beg leave to do so, and entreated the Poverello trace out for them a rule of life by which they might sanctify themselyes. Francis replied: "For some time I hative been thinking of founding an order, in which married people may serve God perfectly, and you cannot do better than enter it." The pious penitesaits gladly consented; and the holy padariarcii gave them a simple, moden habit of an ashen grey colour, with a knotted girdle, and prescribed few them certain exercises, until he had composed the Rule he had already promised. Very soon several inhabitants of Poggi-bonzi and the neighbourhood embraced this salutary institute, which was also established elsewhere. The following year the &Lust wrote the Rule which was approved by Pope Honorius III. It is called the Third Order, because it followed the first Order, the Friars Minor, for priests, and the Poor Clares for !rips, or second Order, while the Third Order is for laymen and women. St. Francis was the first of all religious f ounders to institute a Third Order, though others it is true followed, but to him is due the initiative. Its first member, whose feast took place on April 15, was Luchesis, whcise sanctity was attested by some most striking miracles and the Chun* a warded him the title of Blessed, je sooner was the Third Order planted than it spread with amazing rapict and chiefly among the highest in !and and in all the then known axistries, and counts among its =embers no less than one hundred and thirty crowned heads.

Yet somehow no one expected him to die. But die he (lid at the age of 23. Ignatius' vision had been of men united with Christ in the apostolate.

And to 1 4 . is devotion he added the savrig and equally essential love of the Blessed Eucharist and of Our Lady Mother. STANISLAUS. If Aloysius set Italy by the ears when he became a Jesuit, Stanislaus Kostka, a bright. .young lad, whose father was one of the most important people in Poland, certainly set Europe agog. When he was fourteen Stanislaus and his elder brother, Paul, left the crude luxury of the palace to study in Vienna. They were accompanied by their tutor, John Bilinski. Within a year the Emperor Maximilian took back the hostel where the pupils of the Jesuit College were staying and they had to seek lodgings elsewhere. ;Paul and Bilinski chose a place which lent itself to social life rather than to study. And as Stanislaus kept up the "pious practices" that he had learnt from the Jesuits, they gave hint a rough time of it, by sarcasm and cheap wit and physical violence. But he stuck to his guns the more tenaciously because they were being attacked. Now Stanislaus was no weakling. At home he had been the Notwithstanding most active. his youth, he might have been able to thrash either of his tormentors; at least he emiid have given a good account of himself. But he suffered in silence; which only encouraged the bullies the more—as is always the way. The boy's will stood up to the strain; but something had to give. [(is nerves broke down and he had to take to his bed. He asked for Holy Communion: but the owner of the house, a Lutheran. would not have a priest conie near the place. and Paul and Bilinski were not men enough to stand up for Stanislaus. In the event. Saint Barbara. Patroness of a Confraternity to which Stanislaus belongeil, brought her client Holy Communion miraculously. He was sinking rapidly. Nras this to be Viaticum? Miraculously Cured. Bilinski redeemed himself a little by sitting up with the sick boy every night for a week. Tired out, he had a servant take his place one night. But he came very early to see the patient— who was sitting up in bed saying he 'was better. He wanted to get up at once and, go to Mass. Bilinski persuaded him, to await the doctors' verdict. They feared a relapse and told him not to stir. But no relapse came. He was cured. During that last night Our Lady had placed her Baby in his arms, and he had kissed the Holy Child. Whose Company—the Society of Jesus —the Queen of Heaven bade him enter.
Stanislaus (lid not dream of being refused. He went along and asked to be received as a novice. But the Jesuits in Vienna would not receive him without the full consent of Lord John Kostka. He got the Cardinal Legate to plead for him; but to no purpose. Perhaps Father Peter Canisius, at Augsburg, would receive him; or Father Francis Borgia, the General. Paul should have learnt a lesson; but he had not. Next time his brother caused a scene Stan= islaus told him that if that sort of thing continued he would leave Vienna. Paul told him he could go where he liked, so long as he (lid not come near him. Naively enough. Stanislaus took this as permission to go. He left the house early one morning in August, 1567, went to Mass and Holy Communion. exchanged his rich clothes for a beggar's rags, and turned towards Augsburg and Father Canisius. Parental Wrath. In Vienna that night all was confusion. Paul was frantic. He would have to explain to Lord John—and he knew his father's temper . of old. He and Bilinski searched everywhere, without success. No one knew what had conic of Stanislaus—who was gaily tramping to Augsburg at thirty miles a day. Paul was right. Lord John stormed. He scattered threats all over Europe. Princes and Cardinals received letters that fairly sizzled. But to no avail. . . Stanislaus had seen Father Canisius, who was willing to receive him into the Society in Germany. But the boy thought that this might still be too near Potand and his father's influence. He would prefer to go to R ome. Two of the German Jesuits were to leave for the Eternal City in a month's time, and Father Canisius told Stanislaus that he could go with them. Meanwhile he would test his vocation, an make sure that it was not iust childish romance. The young Polish noble was employed as a servant in the College. This was a severe trial. He was not known: nobody was going to take his photo and publish it above "Prince serves Poor." or anything spectacular like that. A novice more or less expects to have to wash dishes and serve at table and the rest; but Stanislaus was not yet a novice. Besides, he was not living with other men animated by the same high ideals; he was living with servants—which could not but be a sore trial for one brought up in almost regal magnificence. The test satisfied the matter-offact Canisius, and his letters to the General speak of a "noble. virtuous, and studious young man . . . of whom I hope great things." An autumn Italy welcoehed the three travellers to Rome. There Saint Francis Borgia. who had himself renounced a higher worldly position than Stanislans, received him into the Society.

He obeyed in everything with the ready, carefree, exact obedience of a child. His prayers did not cause strain as did Aloysius'. But the happy little Pole, brighteyed and full of life, was to bk a victim of the Roman summer. The long trip from Vienna had been a big strain on his young body, especially as he had insisted On going to Communion as often as he could,, fasting sometimes until late in the day.

They lifted his mattress gently on to the tiles. On the Feast of Our Lady's Assumption. just as the first brightness of dawn was lighting up the room, the dying saint's lips moved.

Once again we write. "Finis" to the annual Retreat. The Sodality's tine historical little chapel, which has glowed with the Sacred Presence of Our Lord for one week, is now sadly empty, its doors shut, its carpets rolled up-its altar bare. The Retreat began on Monday,. April 5, at 7.30 p.m. The Masses began at 6.30 a.m. Owing to the long distance many had to conic, a full attendance 'was not possible in the mornings, but the evening exercises were well attended. Devotions each evening began. with a recitation of the Rosary and a hymn to the Blessed Virgin. A period of general instructions and counsels for our conduct during the week preceded the sermon, after which the Hymn of Repentance was sung. Then followed Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament and the hymn. "Faith of Our Fathers." At two specially arranged choir practices some new hymns, including "A Child of Mary to Her Medal," were learned. These were rendered on Sunday morning at the general Communion. Subjects treated were "Confession." "The Blessed Sacrament," " Pray er." "Tern ptations," "The Virtues," "States of Life," "Heaven," and "The Blessed Virgin." The care of the altar during the "Retreat" week entails a great deal of work. We do not take for granted the ever-changing beauty of God's altar throw:. The arrangement of flowers and candles, the grouping of palms, the replacing' of the light bulbs in Our Lady's halo, which have a playful little habit of popping out at intervals, were all attended to iv unobtrusive hands It must have been a gratifying sight for the instructor to see so mans- blue-clad retreatants approaching the altar at the gencral Communion on the last c;unday. Hy inns were sung throughout Mass. The. combined voices, which sound so feeble in the vastness of the Cathedral, have quite a surprising volumn in the confines of the Chapel. A greater impressiveness was lent to the usual closing ceremony of re-consecration by the presence of Most Rev. Dr. Prendivine, who gave Pontifical Benediction and addressed the gathering at the close of the ceremony. This last evening was .levoteo to the honour of Our Lady, and a sermon on the Blessed was preached by Father Paeker. Wearing- regalia and holding (Iles, the girls repeated 'after the instructor the solemn -vv -.rds which re -dedicated them to t';eir holy Mother. Our grateful thanks are 'Inc to Father Packer for the snergetic and unsparing way in which he devoted himself to the needs of the Sodalitv during !he time in which he was our spi-itnal instructor.
The making of a Retreat brings with it a certain amount of introspection. a &If id-fighting of the sours dint corners, a delving into the past. For those to whom the memory of past infidelities brings a feeling of dejection, these words must have surely been written "Yesterday is a closed doorbut to-day is God's open door of opportunity for you."

His Grace the Archbishop blessed and opened the additions for the Presentation Sisters at Mosman's Park on Saturday a fternoon at 3 o'clock. The opening had been postponed from the previous Sunday owing to inconseclement weather, and quently there was not as large a crowd on Saturday. Many, however, attended on the Sunday, and a generous donation list was the result. His Grace the Archbishop, as. sisted by the parish priest, Very Rev. Father R. O'Neill, blessed the building, which is a twostorey building of brick with tiled roof, and will be used partly for school and partly for convent needs. The total cost of the building was £5,500, the architect being Mr. E. Le B. Henderson, F.R.I.A., and the contractors Messrs.

The wage system, especially basic wage idea, according to which wages are calculated from the bare subsistence point of -view, is by no means ideal.

sent the iniquitous conspiracy of those who for their own sordid motives seek to prevent Catholic social principles from becoming known to the world. One thing is certain, there can be no solution of the social problem without a return to justice and charity, and the way to these is pointed out by Catholic social principles. To-day, my dear brethren, while our hearts are stirred by the memory of the heroism of our Anzac soldiers, let us resolve to carry on their fight according to these principles for justice and freedom.

"Jesus Christ," said our Holy Father Pope Pius XI., "has been banished from the home, from the school, and from the legislative assemblies of the world." Yet we find men to-day, most illogically speaking of Christianity as a failure. If such critics would but accept in all its fullness the Gospel of Jesus Christ, which saved the world when it was in a far worse condition than at present, they would soon realise that the fault lies, not in Christianity, but in those who know it not nor heed it. Peace! there can be no peace until God our Saviour is given His rightful place in the councils of the nations.

R. Beasley a few days ago in a letter which was promptly published by the same paper. The Professor's reply is not concerned with contradicting Dr. Maranon's figures, but only with rather childish quibbles as "How," to his use of round figures in preference to decimals. at the arrive Maranon Senor "does naively, Professor asks the exact figures" That is a question which might fairly be expected from the man in the street, who is kept in suitable ignorance by the organs of public opinion, but it is lamentable that a person engaging in public debate should be so out of touch with the doings of Spain's "constitutional Government." There is an element of fun about arranging tutorials for tutors, but the Professor provokes humour rather than serious thought. Dr. Maranon knows the exact extent of Governmental actrocities in Spain because a committee appointed by the Nati(nialist Government at Burgos has kept an exact record of such brutalities which has been published in three Dig-fish reports by l essrs.

Home. When the Professor attempts to parry the evidence of Government atrocities by saying that atrocities are inevitable and that they have occurred on both sides, he is forgetting that we have not heard more than a whisper of the Communist barbarities in our local press. 'We recall that our papers reported the "Rebels" as haying slaughtered civilians in the bull-ring of Badajoz. and how mothers in Malaga strangled their babies at the approach of We have not previously been told that one side was as Franco.

Highgate Hill His Grace the Archbishop conduct. ed Canonical, Visitation and administered the Sacrament of Confirmation at Highgate Church on Sunday afternoon. About 220 children from the parish schools—Christian Brothers' School, Sacred Heart, High School and Primary—were presented, together with 15 adults. His Grace, on arrival, was met by the Adniinistrator, cross-bearer, and acolytes, and passed through a guard of honour composed of the Holy Name Society and the Children of Mary. The church was thronged with parishioners and friends of the children. Rev. Father Hussey preached the occasional sermon. In a practical and inspiring address, he explained the nature of the Sacrament and its effects. The sponsors for the boys was Mr. H. Wallace, and for the girls Mrs. . T. Russell. A t the conclusion of the ceremony, His Graace addressed the congiekation. He congratulated the teachers on the manner in which the children were presented, and on the excellent standard of religious instruction displayed in the preliminary examination. He said that Highgate had good reason to be proud of their parish schools and the work of the Brothers and Sisters. Speaking to the people, he made certain recommendations with regard to the renovation of the Presbytery and Church, which he hoped would receive their immediate attention. He then went on to speak of a matter of vital importance to the Sacred Heart Parish—the - necessity of a new Parochial .Hall, The old hall has done its duty nobly and well for many years, hut it can no longer be considered adequate nor even safe—certainly not worthy of the parish.

Toodyay
Boulder
The recent rains have graetly bene-. fitted the district, the whole countryside has taken on a mantle of green, and Toodyay is once again living up to its reputation of beauty, which attracts so many visitors during the cooler months. The same renewal of energy and vigour is also noticeable in the parish activities, and everyone is working hard to make our efforts of this year a success. The Children of Mary sponsored a euchre party last Wednesday, and although we anticipate a very good evening, we are unable to give specific results before we go to press. The prize packet cards are also, bit by bit, becoming more mighty with the accession of new members, The opening date is May 16. The change in climatic conditions is, no doubt ,equally responsible for the difficulty that many experience in arriving in time for Mass. As the winter proceeds this difficutty will, we understand, be overcome. Obituary. It is with very great regret that we have to record the death of our esteemed parishioner, Mr. Frank Costello, who departed this life in the Northam Hospital on Sunday, April 25. This esteem and the number of condolences that the bereaved wife has received, will, we hope, help to alleviate her sorrow in her great loss, May we remember frequently to pray for the soul of the deceased.

Coolgardie parishioners were then privileged to hear in their own church, for the first time for many years, a "Missa Cantata Mass" (Farmer's), the rendition cf which by All Hallows' Choir At the conbeing particularly fine, clusion of the Mass—it being Anzac Day—the choir rendered "The Waiting Souls," in memory of the soldiers After who fell in the Great War. Mass the Rev. Father Ahearn, the Nuns, and many of the parishioners expressed their delight at having heard the choir, and hoped that it would again visit Coolgardie in the not distant future. The lady members of the party were then entertained at morning tea by Mrs. Frank Moran. ' ;After dinner, which had been arranged for at the I3anksia Tearooms, the party set off Returning to in cars for the Gorge. Coolgardie the visitors were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Ernie Scahill, who entertained them at their beautiful residence to a delightful afternoon tea, at which Mrs. Scahill was assisted by Mrs. Frank Moran and Mrs. Ernie Bell, A fternoon tea was followed by a very pleasant musical afternoon, at which most of the choir rendered items. An adjournment was made to the Convent at 5 p.m., where Benediction was given by Rev, Father Ahearn, assisted by the choir. This brought to a conclusion a very pleasant and memorable day for All Hallows' Choir. Members of the party who made the journey included Mesdames Morgan, Unsworth. Brown, Whyte, Joyce, McGinty, Wark; Misses T. Brennan, Kath and Anne Murray, Eastwood and Rttane: Messrs. McGinty, Wark, Curtis, Rowan, Rossi, Whyte, Hurley, Steele, Teahan, Masters, John McGinty, Epis and Whyte (2)• The choir wish to thank very sincerely Rev. Father Ahearn, Sisters of Mercy, Coolgardie, and Mesdames Scahill, Moran and Bell, for the splendid hospitality extended to them: and. Messrs. Mack Dillon, F. Steele. J. Hurley and J, Teahan, for making the trip possible by placing their cars at the disposal of the party. Special mention must he made of the organist, Miss Olive Ruane, who performed in her usual capable manner both at the organ and as accompanist at the musical afternoon, and of the choir conductor, Mr. J. McGinty. who was responsible for organising the trip and for the splendid arrangements throughout. Easton—Glover Wedding. Rev. Father Grennan officiated and celebrated Nuptial Mass in St. Mary's Church, Kalgoorlie, on Saturday morning. April 17, on the occasion of the marriage of George William, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Easton, of Mt. Lawley, to Alma Burdette, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Glover. of Victoria Park. The bride, who entered the church on the arm of her brother, Mr. Syd. Glover, looked charming in her frock of slipper satin cut on the cross, with cowl neck and empire front, with huge train cut in skirt and Brussels net veil. She was attended by Misses Thelma Peter. son and Mary Swinton, who were attired alike in new coronation mauve silk Boucle frocks, cut on the cross with Peter Pan collars, the backs buttoning to the waist; and wore net hats e xactly matching frocks. The duties of best man were ably carried out by Mr. A. _1. Lovis, with Mr. Svd. Cox as groomsman. After the ceremorry s reception was held at the GranC ffotel,

Well, until that hall is built, we must do something for parish funds.. The euchre parties will be resumed, and a prize packet will replace the block collection, which was so successful last year. It is hoped to have everything in order for the prize packet within a few weeks, Details will be published later. Congratulations to Sacred heart school on their continued success in tennis. In the Girls' Secondary Schools Tournament, our girls won the A and B Grade cups, thus uphold. ing the school record of many years s tanding. We are glad to hear of a movement towards a strong parish tennis club, and we wish them every success, The altar boys' picnic to Yanchep Park on Thursday proved a very enjoyable outing. They deserved a treat; for regularity and efficiency they would take some beating. Beginning on Sunday next, May 2, there will be two Masses at Learovdstreet, the first at 8, the second at 9.30. It is encouraging to learn that the increased congregaion warrants this change.

THE RECORD Subiaco Catholic Young Men's Club
Three new members were introduced and welcomed to the Club on Thursday night, namely, Misses Peggy Knox, Margaret Boylan, and Kit Edwards. The dance was discussed and it was decided that next Saturday night be a streamer and confetti carnival. The new Administrator, Very Rev. Dr. Kennedy, attended our meeting on Thursday night and expressed his delight at seeing such a good attendance. He also wished our club every success and hoped that the Catholic young people would give their support to help us keep our dance a success, as it was pleasing to know that a Catholic darice was held in the city of a Saturday night. Our scavanagah hunt proved very successful, and quite an enjoyable evening was spent. The competitors went off in parties of four to find the required articles, the first party back with every article correct being declared the winners, It was a very close finish, and after a lengthy discussion our president, 'Miss Eileen Walker, announced that the party to be congratulated were: Misses Kath Sweeney, Kath. Easton, Rose Hastie and May McMahon. These girls received a dainty vanity set each. The president wishes to thank those girls who assisted with the novelty supper, which was served in the Club room after the hunt. Thanks are also extended to Miss Eileen McMullen for her kind donation to the Club last week, consisting of novelties for our dance. This donation was very much appreciated, as it is pleasing to notice so much interest shown towards the success of our Club dance. I N MEMORIAM.

St. Mary's, Leederville Tuesday's Streamer Carnival. Last, Tuesday's streamer carnival, held in St. Mary's Hall, was a thing of beauty from every point of view, and one that will long linger in the memory of those who were privileged to be present. The music, the floor, the lights, the control, all blended to make a perfect night's recreation, but there was something more exqusite still—the attendance, which was so fine as to satisfy and gladden the heart of even a miser. The carnival terminated at midnight. B. Mr. Lees and Miss Vera Hunt and Mr. Clapp and Miss Nasso won the spot dance prizes. Next Tuesday's Dance. is being organised by Mrs. Daly an,1 the ladies of Mt. Hawthorn, who have the reputation of doing things well when they do them, The Weekly Euchre.

Geraldton Diocese ANZAC COMMEMORATION SERVICE. In addition to Solemn Requiem Mass celebrated by Rev. Father Gallagher in St. Francis Xavier's Cathedral, on Sunday morning at 10 o'clock, the commemoration of Anzac Day was continued in the afternoon at the Cathedral by a special Anzac service at which there was a large attendance. Special seating accommodation was reserved for ex-service men, and in addition to adults, the pupils of Stella Mans College and the Christian Brothers' College were also in attendance. His Lordship Bishop O'Collins presided, and after Rev. Father Gallagher had recited the Holy Rosary and preached a sermon, Bishop O'Gollins imparted the Eucharistic Benediction. Rev. Father Gallagher took as his text—"It is a holy and a wholesome thought to pray for the dead that they may be loosed from their sins,- from the second Book of the Machabees, 12th. chapter, 46th. verse. Father Gallagher explained how the Book of the Machabees, far from being a prayer book or relating stories of God or the wonders of the world, was merely a history book and a very prosaic one at that. It confined its activities, as it were, to relating deeds of war and of battle, and traced the activities of the Jewish race under Judas Machabeus after they had been driven from Jerusalem by their Gentile conquerors, At the conclusion of one of the battles in which Judas Machabeus was engaged, a number of his army were left slain on the battlefield, and the following day when men had gone out to collect the bodies of the slain they had discovered a number of them had been wearing silver trinkets and other charms, They had placed their faith in those charms instead of in God, and their deaths were regarded in the light of God's vengeance for their sins. Having regard to their resurrection and by way of reparation for their wrongdoing, Judas Machabeus had later caused to be collected an amount of 12,000 drachmas, by which means he had offered up sacrifices for the repose of the souls of those who had fallen and that they might ultimately gain eternal rest in Heaven. So, too, said Father Gallagher. with Anzac Day. It took them hack to the great and glorious deeds performed by the Australian soldiers. It was a -day people should celebrate to keep always before their minds the great acts of bravery performed by the soldiers. Such extraordinary acts of personal and cornmunity bravery they might celebrate by the beating of drums and the flying of flags, but at the same time they must never forget those who left these shores never to return, who went on to the battlefields of France and Europe and there gave up their souls to Almighty God. They should not commemorate the fallen with the beating of drums, but rather should they remember their immortal souls by prayer. Like Judas Machabeus, he continued, the congregation and he were gathered together in that temple of prayer to offer up sacrifice for their souls. The Communion of Saints was the doctrine that taught t hem that they could assist the souls in Purgatory by prayer and good w orks. He hoped their contribution the commemoration of Anzac Day might not be merely a passive one, by assisting at the ceremonies, but rather an active one, by prayer and supplications Tie asked the congregation to think of those souls, to pray for their repose. so that those Australian soldiers who had died for a noble ideal might altogether enjoy eternal rest in Heaven.

It is the purpose of the Congress to rouse us to a great missionary love of, the Holy Euchari!‘t, so that we may be filled with a restless longing to see the blessings of that Divine Sacrament fall like the dews of Heaven on lands that know not Christ, to see the poor dwellers in the islands of our seas gather with radiant faces a.reund the Altar of God to offer to Him the supreme worship of Calvary, to see men and women and the little children fed with the Food of Eternal Life. 2. At the Congress, this puruese in its many aspects will be the inspiring theme of the Sermons and Addresses on the Its fulfilBlessed Eucharist. ment will be further promoted at the various sessions by reports and exhibits from the Mission fields, by discussion of missionary problems, and by illustratikans, through specimens of their work, of what the children in our Catholic schools have been doing t• help the faithful servants of Christ who, in spite of heartbreaking difficulties, have been endeavouring to bring the Light of Faith to those who sit in darkness.
Holy Mary, our Patrons, and the Patron Saints of every land, pray for us. Congress Badges. The badges will soon be available. They are as cheap as possible, in order to interest the biggest number in the Congress.

The risen Christ greets His Apostles, 'to whom He showed Himself alive after His Passion, by many proofs, for forty days appearing to them, and speaking of the kingdom of God." He taught them to understand the mystery of His Ascension—that in taking possession of His throne in heaven He also prepared a place for His faithful followers. , t7.41 r 74;

A LITURGICAL CATECHISM Q. To what would the general adoption of active participation in the Church's Liturgy lead? A. It would transform society. Pope Pius X. stated that it is the indispensable means of spreading the spirit of Christ through out the world. Q. Was this ideal participation in the liturgy of the Church, which was sought after by Pope Pius X., ever realised in the history of the Church? A. It was realised in the life of the early Christians who "were persevering in the doctrine of the Apostles and in the communication of the breaking of bread and in prayers" (Acts ii., 42). It was their daily routine to assemble together for liturgical prayer, to partake in common of the Agape. to unite in the offering up of the Holy Sacrifice and partake of the Victim in Holy Communion. They acted consciously as members of the one Church. having one faith, one sacrifice, one holy Bread, one prayer, alike in all. All prayed together as one great family. The Catholics of every city f ormed one community, gathered around the Bishop who was the head. The Bishop was the true Father of the faithful of his diocese, who looked up to him for spiritual guidance and obeyed his every word. He was the bond of union with the Apostles. He was the guardian of sacred tradition and the representative of ecclesiastical authority. To follow him was to he on the right way. To pray with him in liturgical service was to pray in conscious union with the Church.

Jesuit Denounces "Sit-cDown" Strikes in U.S.A. 'sit-down' "I consider the strike as a definite advance in Leftist psychology," said the Rev. Dr. Edmund Walsh, S.J., Georgetown vice-president of University, in a lecture at the Continental Memorial Hall. The "sit-down" strike was an alien importation, said Father Walsh. "We heard of it some six or eight months ago as threatening the internal stability of France, where workmen simply took possession of factories and defied both the rightful owners and public authorities 'to evict them. In due time that method of direct action reached the United States and we saw the State of Michigan on the very brink of civil war.
when he inflamed the workers of Petrograd by inciting them to occupy the factories of Russia, confiscate .private property and erect councils of workmen to he known as Soviets? "And did not mobs inspired by alien propaganda seize the factories of northern Italy, at Turin, and elsewhere in that period of 1922 and 1923 when Communism so nearly engulfed the Italian Peninsula?"-

tria before the war, but the lapse of Austrian currency depreciated all values. and a fresh start had to be made. In agreement with the Austrian Government, plans for the foundation were first submitted to the Holy See last summer, and in November, Cardinal Innitzer received the decisions of the Holy Father. The pastoral of the hierarchy says: "The university will work for a truly Christian Austria; it wishes to assist in the solutions of the more important problems of our times, in a fruitful and blessed reunion of the Catholic Church and the German people."
SALZBURG, chosen as the centre for the proposed Catholic University in Austria. was also the centre from which the Irish monk, St. Rupert, spread the doctrines of Christianity throughout Bavaria and the Tyrol more than t welve centuries ago.
