Cassidy thought for a moment, then said: "Suppose there was a Russian Jew living in England with an Italian wife, sitting at a french window in a room with Persian rugs on the floor. If this man was drinking American cream soda, while listening to a Gerback to man band playing 'Come Erin,' after a supper of Dutch cheese made up as a Welsh rarebit, then begorra you're safe in calling that guy a cosmopolitan." • "I wan't you to understand," said young Spender, "that I got my money by hard work." "Why, I thought it was left to you by your rich uncle." "So it was; but I had to work hard to get it away from the lawyers"

A good many years had elapsed. since her last visit, and talkies were quite new to her, A fter the performance the old lady was asked how she liked the change. "I think it was fine," she exclaimed, "but I must say I enjoyed the unspeakable ones better." It was almost twenty years since the old school-fellows Jack and James, had seen one another. "Well, Jack," said James, "you're looking old and worn out. What have you been doing all these years?" 'Trying to keep young,' 'answered Jack, sadly. - "Trying to keep young!" echoed his • companion. " Yes," came the reply. "Thirteen of 'em." A simple-looking lad stopped before a blacksmith's shop on his way home from school, and eyed the doings with wonderment. A fter a time, as the lad would not go away, the smith laughingly held a piece of red-hut iron under the youngster's nose, hoping to make him beat a hasty retreat, "Ili, guy'nor, if you give me sixpence I'll lick it," said the lad.

a Catholic school so depleted the a ttendance at the State school that the latter had to be closed. The few non-Catholic children then went to the Catholic school, or relied on teaching by correspondence. Where no Catholic school could be built in an isolated area, then Catholic children would have to attend the State school, and have their religious education supplied as best they could. But such an exception does not suggest that this would be the rule. Catholic Teachers. Where are you teachers trained? I suppose you will admit training is necessary? Training is necessary. And the various Religious Orders in charge of Catholic education have their own training schools. Are the teachers you employ paid a salary? If so, where do they spend their salaries? Those teachers who belong to R eligious Orders as Brothers or Nuns, vow poverty, renouncing all personal income. They 'devote their services to the work for the love of God and of souls. The school-fees paid by Catholic parents go to the general funds of the Religious Order in charge of a given school to keel) the members in food and clothing. Since the food and clothing arf,_. purchased locally, the money subscribed by Catholics to support their schools goes back into circulation through local shops and business houses. Such lay teachers as are employed in Catholic schools are paid salaries just as do teachers in any other schools. Do you advocate women teachers for boys and girls alike? For quite young children. yes. As they get older, boys as far as possible should be taught by men. What Is Education? Will you give your version of this question, and not a definition from a book? What is edu cation? Education, in the true and complete sense of the word. is the science of developing the powers of a human being, physical. intellectual and moral, so that he or she beComes fitted as perfectly as possible to fulfil the purpose intended by the Creator of humanity. Now the primary purpose of human beings, as intended by God, is that they should know, love, and serve Him by the duties of true religion; and be worthy of Him by a life of virtue and holiness in this life as a preparation for eternal happiness with Him in heaven. The secondary purpose is that they should know and fulfil as well as possible all that is necessary for their individual and social welfare in this world. To concentrate on this latter secondary purpose of earthly welfare only means a lop-sided and distorted education resulting in a deformity of human character All sections of the human personality. body and soul, must be

The Myth About Italy What the Press Would Have Us Believe The Abominable Tyranny of Mussolini" P, MORTON.)
t he much maligned Mussolini.
How many Englishmen who have written letters to the papers about the abominable tyranny exercised by Signor Mussolini, and talked in bars and railway carriages of the oppression of the Italian people, would be prepared to take an oath, on personal observation, that the bulk of the Italian population is worse off, physically, mentally, spiritually than the bulk of the English population? It is an important question, because its solution might lead us to suspect that what we read in our newspapers is not always true. Mark you, by the hulk of the population, I do not mean a few naflging intellectuals who think that the world is made of pamphlets and leaflets and manifestoes; I do not mean the Italian countetpart of our own homeless, hopeless ideologues. those peevish men whose hatred of dictatorship makes an exception of the dictatorship of something they call the proletariat.

None. In England, when a bridge is to be built in London there are debates lasting for, many years, not, of course, because of any graft or corruption, but merely so that every aspect of the question may be considered in the full glare of publicity. Nobody is going to risk offending the vast numbers who are against the building of the bridge, and at Question Time the most fearless criticisms of those who would act in a hurry are heard on every hand.

The Censorship Defended JESUIT AND BREACHES OF MORAL LAW. Judgment on Books. At the Central Catholic Library, Dublin, Rev. Arthur Little, S.J., gave an interesting lecture on "The Needs of Censorship," recently. The moral law as it in fact exists and not as it is variously conceived must, Father Little said, at the cost of anything that contravenes it, be upheld by those that know it. It pertains to the function coi the State to provide against breaches of public morality .and therefore to take precautions against them by prohibiting the incentives to crime. Books can be such incentives either by teaching immorality or by stimulating it by aesthetic suggestions. But what books are in fact such incentives can only be finally determined by a separate judgment on each book, that is by censorship. Such censorship would not be needed were the public so intelligent as to discern clearly and with conviction the moral law and its menaces in literature. But no public to-day is so instructed. And where an uninstructed public is least able to decide for itself is where the book is immoral but not palpably SO.

Each morning Fathei Drees comes into Austin and opens the Senate with prayer. A fterwards he returns to Taylor and his parish duties. THE VATICAN GOAL HAS ITS FIRST PRISONER. A messenger who checked a Papal gendarme is the first person to occupy the cell in the model prison built in Vatican City last year. The messenger, a cyclist, was called to account for ignoring traffic regulations inside the Papal domain. His reply was considered insulting. The gendarme brought him before the court, which sentenced him to a fine of 4s. 6d. or a day's Being short of imprisonment. cash he chose the latter. The warder. called upon to do his duty for the first time, had to refer to his book of regulations.
Value of Public Opinion. It is most of all in the case of books whose immorality is insidious that censorship is needed. Inevitably the law will be frequently violated, but it NVIii not be lightly violated if supported by public opinion and thus, though broken, law in general will not be scorned. Some idea and theories will be ascertained by the (presumably) competent authority to be false. No harm can come from tli suppression of false theories. whereas their full currency in an uncritical society might lead to their adoption and the surrender of true principles. Since the progress of any nation depends on the adoption of worthy aims and true principles of development at the outset and on constancy in their application during its history, the people if unable to defend themselves against falsehood, must be removed from accolaintance with it Evil of Excess. Nevertheless. sound though the principle of censorship is. any particular board of censors may apply it incompetently by excess either of rigour or of laxity. Excess of rigour, though the less evil extreme, is not negligible in a Christian country, for it can discredit Ole intelligence of Christians. lower the standard of artistic production, and unjustly stigmatise authors. To obviate excess whether of rigour or of laxity the censors must be not merely good men but trained men. trained in a *true philosophy and ethics, and also in the science of aesthetics and the power of appreciating art. If to the prohibition of bad morals they also added the prohibition of had art and unintelligence. they would still further advance the cause of morality itself.

During the past twelve months this band of young Catholic apologists has worked principally to provide a sound financial basis for the activities of the Club, and is now preparing to embark an its more specific work. The substantial fruits ci their first enthusiasm may be judged from this glimpse of members' activities, their studies and their central headquarters. Record" "The warmly congratulates them on their achievements and wishes members continued success for the future. What is This Chesterton Club? The function of the Chesterton Club is to foster every form of Catholic Action, but especially that of an intellectual and cultural nature. To do this effectively, members themselves should be informed on Catholic teaching and be imbued with the Catholic spirit. The name "Chesterton" was adopted becaose it served to symbolise all that is best in the modern aspect of the Catholic crusade. Aims. The present and immediate aims of the Chesterton Club may be summarised thus: 1. The building up Of a book shop business to supplement financially— '. The Veritas Library, which. it is intended, should provide patrons with every type of good reading. and moreover. become an indispensable centre of Catholic reference for3.

The May devotions are being well attended up ,to date, and the altar before the beautiful statue of Our Lady is a credit to the good Sisters who Flowers will be needed erected it. during the month, so if there are any to spare, please send them alone Our euchre parties have lapsed owing to poor attendance, but we are hoping to revive them in the near future. The block collection is fairly satisfactory, thanks to the energetic collectors, to whom we are very grateful for their good work. Mr. L.

METER TELLS CAR'S SPEED AFTER IT HAS STOPPED. Priest's Invention Will Curb Rash Motorists. Father Alfani, Director of the Florence Observatory, has invented an instrument for registering the speed of motor-cars, so that it can afterwards be tested, when the car has stopped. This vill prove very useful after car accidents, as Father Alfani's instrument is quite different from the speedometer, which only momentarily registers speed A needle perforates a strip of paper contained in a box. the strip revolving according to the speed of the car, and there is a fixed relationship between the space left between any two perforations and the car's speed. Father Alfani has also invented another instrument to curb a rash motorist, whereby a signal in different colours shows when the car is travelling at different speeds. being visible both to the driver and to pedestrians. This will be of great use to all highway users, whether officials or not, and may help the driver to prove he was travelling at a safe speed at the time of an accident.

In St. joachim's Church the first week was for the women and the second for the men, and it was very pleasing to see them turn out in such large numbers, especially the men, towards whom the elements were most unkind. The mission in Belmont was- also a great success. As a proof of its success the Sodalities have increased greatly in number. The Sacred Heart Sodality now numbers 220, the Holy Name Society 120, and the el-iildlren of Mary 60.

FRENCH NEUTRALITY!
Sir,—In the concluding paragraph of the article "Ready to Strike," which appeared in the f; issue of "The Record" dated 24/4/37, I stated that: ". . . . a numerous embassy of French personalities representing this 'other' France, under the leadership of General Castelnau, were visiting Spain to present a sword of honour to General Moscardo, the heroic defender of the Alcazar. . . ." It now transpires, from information which has come to hand the meantime, that the "embassy of French personalities, under the leadership of General 'Castelnau," has been prohibited by the French Government from visiting Spain. I reproduce a copy of the letter which the organisers of the expedition have received from the French Foreign Office: "We understand that, a certain number of French citizens are asking for authority to go to Spain in order to assist, with the permission of General Franco, at a ceremony to be held at San Sebastian, in honour of General Moscardo, which is to be followed by a visit to certain Spanish sanctuaries. The French Government understands that the passports asked for might be contrary to the strict application of the laws of neutrality which the organisation has taken on itself. and it cannot authorise ate issue of such passports." Yet it is well known that prominent French 'Communists and various commissions of Communist Deputies and of the French Left have been able to visit Red Spain in perfect freedom. When asked to do so. these gentry assist at the official ceremonies organised by the Red Government at Valencia. It is no wonder that the Frenchmen of that "other France" are deeply wounded.—YOurs. etc., P. BRENNAN. Manjitnup.

THE INCOME PROFIT TAX. Sir.—The trouble the xvorld over to-day is the unsatisfactory state of the money system—the unequal. distribution of the wealth of the world. Considei the proposed increased taxation in England of 3d. in the called an income and profit tax. This tax Nvi1I not have the slightest effect on the millionaire or emannfacturer; he will still accumulate his millions; he will do the same as has always been done in the past. the tax will he passed on to the consumer, which means increased cost of living and the poor pays. My solution of the social problem is price-fixing boards to fix the selling price to the consumer. The boards to investigate the cost of production and the cost of imported goods. This would make the people most satisfied, contented and Everyone is entitled to happy. a fair margin of profit for their labour, but some are not satisfied unless they are making anything from 100 to 200 per cent profit. Fixing selling prices by boards would be something towards this end. Unscrupulous and avaricious men should be compelled to treat their fellowmen as God intended; He has

Sir,—It is rather amusing w hen someone starts to tell us how good and religious the people of England were before Henry VIII. robbed (?) them of the Faith. I am afraid, judging by subsequent events, that their religion was similar to the notice on embrocation bottles, "for external use only," and as far as the robbery was concerned, in a court of law, they would be cited as accessories after the act at least. The common people showed about as much opposition to the change as a flock of sheep does when driven from one field to another, and the middle and upper class, with a very few honourable exceptions, had 'hut one anxiety, viz., to get in as early as possible to avoid the crush when the churches and monasteries were thrown open for spoliation. If the English people of those days were so religious, how is it they dropped the Faith so quickly. The only solution I can see is that it was not deep-rooted. and that they w ere tired of so much outward observance, and when the change came they welcomed the respite. Had they wished to cling to the Faith. though debarred 'from practising it in public, they could at least have handed it down to their descendants, which they evidently did not, as about the second generation afterwards produced the greatest crop of bigots against the Catholic Church on the face of the earth, and their descendants. with few e xceptions, have kept the ball rolling to the present time. I am afraid if there had not been a more genuine type of Catholics in the world in those days than the _English ones. the Church w ould be sitting in a very hack seat to-day. ----Yours. etc.. J.P. Midland Junction. (This is hardly a true analysis of the Reformation in Ent:land, but further discussion on this point may lay bare a most important phase of European history.—FA.)

"A Night in June." Our famous Night in June Cabaret will be held this year in the Pagoda. Como, on Wednesday, June 2, the first Wednesday in June. The organising secretaries this year are Misses Kay Kinane, Nell Miles, and Dorothy McCarthy. All the elaborate decorations used for the Repertory Ball were designed by Miss Kay Kinane, and these with many others are to form the colour scheme for this year's dance. The hostess for the evening will be Mrs. T. D. Murphy, and as a curtain raiser for her big night, is inviting you all to her charming home in Melville Terrace on Wednesday, May 26, the Wednesday prior to the dance, for a bridge evening. Mrs. E. M. Hunt is in charge of the supper, and at means an excellent supper. Music will be on the air, for Doreen D'Arcy is coming, and whether the lights fail or not, you may still keep on dancing. As in former years, we have arranged for a silver moon shining on silver sands—so I'll be seeing you that night in June. Prize Packet. The good old winner, known as the prize packet makes his entrance this week after his long vacation. Mr. J. F. McEncroe is once again on the Tally Ho, hoping to lead. a larger field than ever before for a good year's run. It will last the full course of thirty weeks, the opening day is May 23,-caiichiding on the second week in December. With the increasing congregation in our new church we are hoping that the numbers will also grow this year. Take your card next Sunday and do your utmost to fin it. And if you cannot face a cafd be sure you are on someone else's card.
May Procession. This year we did not have much time to organise the May procession. Yet it was a great success. The congregational singing was never better. It filled the church and made the hill ring with hymns. Assisting the pastor were the Rev. Fathers O'Connor and Cleary, and the occasional sermon, impressive and instructive, was preached by Rev. Father Rafferty. The sun shone, as it has always done, on all our outdoor ceremonies in the parish. How well children look in a May procession! They must delight Our Lady of the May, St. Anne's Shrine, Last Tuesday, the second of the five, drew a fine congregation to morning Mass. There is no doubt that St. Anne is going to have a following in this parish. The first five Tuesdays are offered for all those - who have in any way helped to erect this But we do not intend to stop c..? 11:e first five—we are hoping hat cher zs of St. Anne will continue to one T.iesday .after Tuesday. If you nave no devotion to St. Anne, begin this coining week, and you will be surprised at all that she will do for v-iu. Her first gift will be to bring vue nearer to Mary, her daughter.

That huge block of limestone broken off from the promontory of Sorrento, and known for centuries in song and tradition as "the Isle of Capri" (have we not all heard of it lately on our radio sets?) has .long had its fascination for foreign visitors as a winAs long ago as the ter resort. - eighth century it became the property- of the Roman See, but subsequently suffered terribly from the raids of Mussulman pirates. England seized it in 1806, and its little British garrison was commanded by Hudson Lowe, afterwards Napoleon's jailer at St. Helena; but he had to give it up to the French two years later. When I spent ten days at Capri with an Oxford friend many years ago, I was young and active, luckily for me; for you have to be as agile as a goat to climb to the many beauty-spots The of this delectable island. lovely panoramas in every direction conic back to me as I writt: the frowning fortress of St. Michael, the old Charterhouse; the little chapel of Our Lady of Succour. whence you look on the the mountain-slopes, brow 11 orange-groves of Sorrento, the distant line of the Apennines, the plain of Poestum, and the sunny It curve of the Bav of Naples. is a prospect on which Tiberius must often have feasted his old eyes during those last strange years which he spent at Capri. Tiberius and His Palaces. Tiberius Claudius Nero! He is in my musings to-day. because it is exactly nineteen hundred years this week since the seconl Roman Emperor died at Capri in his eightieth year, after a reign of a quarter of a century. You cannot get away at Capri from the remains of "our Timberio," as the islanders love to call him. His whole residence in the island extended over hardly half a dozen years; but what he did, and what he built there, has been the subject of a hundred tales and weird traditions, still as strong as ever. I. who always travelled "with an object," made it my business to visit every place connected with the emperor's name and fame. Tiberius built twelve palaces on Capri. each dedicated to a different god. They were razed to the g-rcitind by the Senate after his death, and are now shapeless ruins, on which you may meditate like Harvey among the t ombs. Best preserved is the Villa of _love (called In 1W the Villa di Timberio), where you may still see mural paintings and mosaic pavements. and near by II Salto. the precipitous rock from which the emperor is said t o have hurled his victims.

SEEK TO BEATIFY 50 MASSACRED IN SPAIN.
7,
Introductory steps towards the prospective process of the beatification of 50 Claretians massacred at Barbastro, Spain, by Reds last August have been taken. The martyred Claretians inchide nine priests, 35 clerical students and six lay brothers. The introductory steps consist of the gathering of sworn statements concerning the circumstances of their martyrdom. The documents pertaining to the massacre have been officially entered into the archives of the Claretian Curia at Rome. O f the sworn statements the most important and complete are those given by eye-witnesses, t wo Claretian clerical students, Frater Pablo Hall and Frater Because of Atillo C.

found, curiously enough, that the islanders paid no credit to these tales, and regarded their "Timberio" as a semi-classical, semiromantic, figure. almost deified in their eyes. It is the fashion ndwadays to whitewash the "bad people" of history; and we have seen the process applied to such characters as Lucrezia Borgia and Voltaire. One thing is certain: no one is bound to accept as history the rabid outpourings of Suetonius and Tacitus: the former loved scandal much more than truth; and the latter's personal feeling against Tiberius was far too bitter to make his brilliant portrait of the emperor necessarily authentic, although it may have been psychologically possible. You may prefer. if you please to accept the panegyric of Velleius Paterculus. who had himself served under Tiberius, as a true picture; but anyhow. if you are studying the subject, do not neglect Professor Beeslev's admirable monograph. in which he exposes the whole attack on the emperor as a malignant libel. T think that Capri is justified in revering the memory of their "Timberio." Second, and not least illustrious, of the Caesars, he governed his vast empire with consummate skill : maintained public security, administered the laws with equ ity. and showed himself a generous as well as a just ruler. Let tis forget all about Suetonins. and accept Tiberius as a great figure in a great age of the w orld'‹ history. \

Jesus did not stop to answer these malcontents; as was His wont, He deemed it enough to reiterate what He had communicated to them already, only with a more luminous simplicity, leaving it for the indwelling Truth itself to quicken and enlighten their souls. Again He told them that faith is a gift of grace; and He repeated that no one can come to Him who is not prompted by the heavenly Father—"taught of God, using the language of the Prophets"—which means that they must be touched from on high, their souls drawn by a secret influence inherent in the truth of His Word. Still more clearly did He disclose the mystery of His Incarnation, showing them that God is too High, too Holy an Object for our earth-bound senses to encompass through human wisdom ; for truly "no one can see the Father save Him alone who liveth in God ;" vet this Divine Seer. this Holy Tiling, Son of the Father, has become Man that he might unite Himself to mankind for love of humanity—His Divinity taking upon Itself a dwelling of mortal flesh in order to communicate Its own life unto all men.

Catholic Tennis Notes (By "Sidelines.") The Men's ,Competition. Owing to the inclemency of the weather on the previous week-end, the men's matches were necessarily transferred to Sunday, April 25. Many hotly contested series resulted in several surprises. Perhaps the outstanding feature of the round was the traimph of St. Joachim's over St. .Mary's. The latter club entered the arena not favourites with those whose hobby is the study of form, but had to retreat to the superiority of the club from over the Causeway. Another surprise was the closeness of the win of St Brigid's Club from the recently rejuvenated St, Kevin's. In the lower grade many tips were upset. Taken all through it is quite apparent that this year will record a season of surprises and heart-burnings in mans- camps. The Annual Bill Once again time wends its way around to a function that is always a great magnet of attraction. This year the annual ball will take place in the Embassy on May 21, Those who intend going are well advised to make early application for a logue, otherwise they will be left lamenting. This is the one great gala night of the Association, and it is confidently hoped that this year's attraction will live up to the traditions of its predecessors. Next Council Meeting. Owing to the ball falling on the same night as the council meeting, the latter has been trairtyred to Friday, May 14. Delegates are advised to note the alteration in the date. Personal and Otherwise. Players of a few seasons back will be pleased to hear of the advancement of Greg. Hickey, erstwhile Of Nedlands, Greg. was recently promoted to Clerk of Courts at Beverley.

Two nominations were received, and Miss Eileen Hanlon and Mr. Jack Hanlon were duly initiated, After the meeting members indulged in table tennis and cairds.

The usual keen interest was displayed by the branches in the table tennis and quoits competition ,and the "A" grade shield and the "B" grade cup were won by St. Joachim's Bran'. 0, Victoria Park. The committee felt amply repaid for their work by the numbers who attended the annual la:nic, which was held at Point Walter, and by the keen spirit of competition and good sportsmanship that dominated the sporting events of the day.

Living With The Church
Q. How does Pius X. summarise his whole teaching on assistance at Mass? A. We must "pray the Mass"; we must "live the Mass," O. What is meant by "praying the Mass?" A. We pray the Mass in reciting the prayers of the Missal or prayers equivalent to them. That is the normal way of uniting ourselves with the priest at the altar. We must not consider the Mass as affordincr us a convenient opportunity off s practising our private devotions. As members of the Church we should take an active part in the Holy Sacrifice, which the Church, as a society, offers up to , the Blessed Trinity, through Christ. with Christ. and in Christ. Q. What is meant by "living the Mass?" A. It means that at every Mass we should offer up ourselves in sacrifice, our life, our will, our hopes, our joys, our sorrows, and prolong that offering- of ourselves through all our day, from Mass to Mass, so as to link every moment of our day to the daily or weekly sacrifice. From this intimate union of our sacrifice of ourselves with the Infinite Sacrifice Christ offers to His Eternal Father upon the altar is derived all that makes for our sanctification. Each day, for instance, has its trials. We offer these with ourselves at the altar. When the moment of trial comes the Holy Mass procures for us the necessary graces to endure or to overcome. To spur us on to this high purpose of "living the Mass" we should ever bear in mind that every day we, as members of the mystical Body of Christ, are offered up in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass to the glory of the Blessed Trinity in union with the offering Christ makes of Himself upon the altar.

Consecration of Most Rev. Justin Simonds, D.D., D.Ph. Archbishop of Hobart
Movement for Religious Freedom
4'he Consecration of His Grace Most Rev. Dr. Justin Simonds, Archbishop of Hobart, took place at St. Mary's Cathedral, Sydney, on Thursday, the Feast of the A scension. The ceremony was performed by the Apostolic Delegate, His Excellency Most Rev. Dr. Panico, assisted as co-consecrators by the Bishop of Port A ugusta, Right Rev. Dr. Gilroy. and the Coadjutor Bishop of Lismore, Right Rev. Dr. Farrelly "The Record" tenders to His Grace its respectful congratulations, and wishes him a fervent ad multos annos in. his new and responsible sphere of missionary labours.
A general election is due in Mexico this summer and President Cardenas is expected to seek Catholic support and set up an opposition bloc in the National Assembly. To do this, however, the next election for senators and federal deputies would have to be conducted in a free and open manner. and it is hoped that the President will make a ITIOve in this direction. Too much importance should not be attached to the recent reopening of a few churches in one state. but if the President has allowed this there is reason to believe that he vill carry out his stated determination to enforce free voting. Not for a long time has Mexico been so aroused as it is to-day over the religious question, and it is possible that the tide has definitely turned against those who have more or less successfully tried to stifle the religious instincts of the people.
Following is an extract from the Archbishop-elect's message to the people of Hobart :

Mr. Dawson Lauds Father Coughlin A striking tribute to Father Coughlin was recently paid by the well-known writer and 7,1glishman. Mr1 Christopher Dawson. Mr. Dawson sa,d that Father Coughlin's style of oratory was specially suited to reach a section of the population which might otherwise have been inclined'. to fall a victim to Communistic propaganda. He has undoubtedly rendered an important service to his country in
occupying a position which might otherwise have been occupied by a Communistic agitator. He has also shown that the Catholic Church is not merely the timid defender of things as they are, and has compelled notice of the teaching of the Papal Encyclicals. It is of first importance. Mr. Dawson said that American people should see a Catholic priest compelled by nothing but his Catholic principles fighting the battle of the poor

A significant aspect of the present peaceful uprising of Catholics at Orizaba, Vera Cruz, where the authorities have shut all the churches, was the unfurling of a huge sign: "\Ve do not want to be fed any more with atole from a finger." (Atole is a Mexican baby food.) The people have reached the limit of their endurance. They declare they can no longer stand the attitude of officials who treat them like children and the Vera . Cruz rising may be the beginning of a movement that will bring religious freedom and a new era of peace to Mexico. . :9:8:t1:RXR:RxiC9CMAXE03)00**M9

"The inscrutable designs of Providence have ordained that on the Feast of the Ascension, I shall enter upon a new and vital r elation with the Head and the m embers of that Mystic Body. How greatly I need the charity o f prayer from the priests, the religious and the Catholic people of Tasmania should not require to be further emphasised. I earnestly request their prayers that when the hands of three consecrating prelates shall be laid upon my unworthy head, and when in the name of the Head of the Mystical Body they shall sav to me. 'Receive the Holy Ghost.' this solemn act may be to me more than a mere rite by which I receive the pknitude of the Priesthood. May I then receive the grace and the gifts of the Holy Spirit in such degree as to enable me always to fulfil the responsible duties of my high office in a manner worthy of the traditions of the Catholic Priesthood, and worthy of the people of Hobart, to serve whom I shall be c onsecrated."

Monsignor Monaghan. P.P. Monday, May 17: Arrival of the Archbishop. 7.30 p.m.: Reception in the Cathedral.
