BY REV. DR.
Inherited Graces Pantarkes, Socratic Club, Sydney: It appears to me that a Catholic family such as the Vaughans, ought to have accumulated a peculiar store of grace, if there is anything at all in your religion. It is not for you to prescribe the conditions to be fulfilled by a religion claiming to be truly of God. God is not obliged to conform His religion to your ideas of what a religion should be, or do. It is for you to ask simply whether God has revealed a religion, and if you discover that He has done so, accept it whatever it may be like. abandoning any personal opinions as wrong which conflict with the realities revealed by God. That, however, is by_the way. As it happens, you are at least half-right in your present ideas, for a fervent Catholic fam'Hy does imply greater collective graces. The Vaughan Family. In each generation a better and better type of Catholic ought to be produced in such families as maintain their Catholic faith. From one point of view that is true. It is already an external grace for a child to he born in a family in which it will meet with good example. Also the prayers of good parents will obtain from God many interior graces for their children. And therefore an ever better type of Catholic would result from such continued family fidelity. This aspect is exemplified particularly in the Vaughan family with two of whose members we were concerned last Sunday night. The Vaughan family has been true to the Catholic faith through all the distress of the reformation times. and afterwards its members had suffered,for their faith in fines, imprisonment. and double land taxes. And the tradition of loyalty was ever kept bright. Now. in the family to which Cardinal Vaughan and Father Bernard Vaughan belong-ed, there were thirteen children-5 girls and 8 boys. All five girls became Nuns, and six of the eight boys became Priests. That 11 of -13 children in one family should experience religious vocations is surely a remarkable instance of accumulating the collective graces of a family, But whilst this has been verified at times, it does not follow that it always will be verified. For another aspect of the subject presents itself, as we shall see in a moment. • The Freewill Factor. Therefore a Catholic of the 40th. generation of such Catholics ought to be much better than a Catholic of the 1st. generation. If every member of the previous 40 generations corresponded perfectly with his opportunities. the contemporary Catholic ought certainly to be better than
the Catholic of the 1st. generation. But it does not follow necessarily that he will be. Inherited loyalties are not the only factor. The environment of the world in which the last family finds itself may be much more difficult morally than that prevailing earlier; and, also, despite all family influences, each man's destiny is in his own hands. No one is compelled to be good. And therefore we find children of the same famliy choosing quite different roads in life. A canonised St. Aloysius had a scapegoat brother. Perhaps you will say that the graces of each individual end with that individual. Your conjecture is erroneous. I have already explained that there are collective graces accumulated by continued family fidelity. That to which I do appeal is the factor of freewill, and of each one's destiny ultimately being in one's own control. However great may be one's opportunity of grace, it is never so great that freedom of will is destroyed. And even though it be less likely that children of good families will go astray, their doing so is never impossible. If so, God allows no specitl credit for the maintenance of the Faith in a family. That remark is prompted by a wrong impression, of which I have already disabused you. • • Good Parents of a Waster. A back-to-front view of this matter is as follows: X, the son of exemplary Catholic parents. turns out a waster, and commits suicide. That is a possibility. Would you say that this is part of a divine plan? Since God forbids suicide, it cannot be part of His plan that anyone should commit suicide. But ability to be guilty of such an evil would follow from the divine plan that no individual should be constrained by either good example or interior grace. God has granted to each of us freedom of will, and He will not deprive us of that gift. He commands us to use it well. but He will not employ physical compulsion to prevent us from using it badly. What help was the Catholicism of such parents to such a son? .\ s much as he himself would allow it to be. If he entirely rejected its influence in the end. that does not prove that the Catholicism of his parents lacked

A Modern Dutch Institution FOR THE DEFENCE OF THE FAITH. The following interesting article, by Father H. Roosen, of the Dutch Catholic Information Bureau, describes the work done by a splendid organisation for Catholic Action, which is known to very few in Australia:
The Catholic Church exists and lives all over the world, and shows its vitality in institutions For a wholly adapted to modern times.

It uses the world-language (Esperanto) as a vehicle for its international Catholic Action.

Some years ago we received a letter from Narva—a town on the Russian frontier. A Protestant lady wrote to us that she, brought up in orthodox Lutheran surroundings. where even the name Catholic was shunned, had been r eceived into the Catholic Church. She stressed the fact that she began to take an interest in Catholicism through an Esperanto course at Cracow. Visiting the town. she went to see the fine c hurches there. One day coming home for a walk she happened to read our advertisement in "Heraldo." an Esperanto newspaper. She wrote to us asking for our Esperanto pamphlet. "Where is the Church of Christ?" She studied it, and shortly after she became a convert to Catholicism.

Last year the editor of a Japanese Protestant daily paper asked us if we were willing to write an article on Christianity and Christian Action .in Western Europe for his paper. In return, he would insert our advertisements in his paperf We agreed to the proposal, and a short time afterwards a Japanese chairman of an Esperanto Club asked for more
information. Together with other members of his club, he showed great interest in Catholicism. Two teachers, one a Dane. thee other a Swede, informed us that after being instructed by our information bureau they had understood their wrong view of Catholicism, and had consequently changed their anti-Catholic teaching. • A Russian pope (Greek Orthodox Bishop) wrote us no less than 58 letters. Unfortunately for the past six months, we have not received any letter from him. Probably he has fallen a victim to the Reds, for in his last letter he spoke about the Bolshevik danger that threatened his town. A Buddhist priest in Japan is regularly asking for information about the faith. He thinks it a great honour to be in correspondence with a Catholic priest. How does our Catholic International Bureau work? In the first place, we answer the letters received by sending an Esperanto pamphlet: "Where is the Church Christ?" When they have read and studied this pamphlet. they can ask further information. In this way a regular correspondence arises with many nonCatholics all over the world. Besides sending books and letters in Esperanto. the Catholic International Information Bureau forwards to everyone who. comes into touch with it a bimonthly periodical, "Vojo, Vero, Vive" ("Way, Truth, Life"). Likewise, smaller pamphlets on some or other doctrinal point are being translated into Esperanto. published and forwarded to inquirers. Once a month a broadcast talk is given in Esperanto over the K .R.O. (Catholic Broadcasting Company) ( Hilversurru). on the f undamental truths of our faith. We have done this for two years, and from many listeners-in we w ere happy to receive letters of s ympathy. It is the fulfilment of Our Lord's command: "Preach it on the housetops." What we ask of you is your prayer, and your sympathy, that our modern apostolate may prosper and bear fruit

Anniversary of G. K. Chesterton's Death
We reproduce as a reminder to -our readers the text of a small leaflet that was sent to some of his friends and admirers shortly after G.K.C.'s death by his wife. Mrs. Chesterton was herself a convert to the Catholic Church some years after her husband, and the sympathy and 'prayers of our readers will, we hope, go out to this "unique heroine," as Father Ronald Knox calls her, of the greatest Catholic life of our times.

General Chiang-Kai-Shek's Christian Convictions
An important address from General Chiang Kai-Shek was read on Good Friday at an assembly of Protestant missionaries held in Nanking. In this address General Chiang Kai-Shek, who at that moment was at Hangchow (Chekiang), declared once more his firm Christian convictions, and explained the comfort he had derived from them during the tragic events which occurred in December last. The following passages from his address are worthy of special attention :

On June 6 the Tertiaries of St. Fran-cis of Assisi held their usual monthly meeting. The brothers held a meeting first in the Cathedral Hall to discuss the formation of a Workmen's Club, with the avowed object of following the aim of Pope Pius XI.s Encyclical, urging the workers to fight Communism. This was followed by a. paper in the subject read by the president, after which suggestions were asked from the members as to the best means of combating this menace. Several suggestions were found good and will be put into practice at the earliest opportunity. In the Cathedral, after the opening prayers, the Director of the Fraternity, Rev. Father Johnston, read part of the Epistle of St. James, and then gave a short sermonette on its application to the tertiaries. He also pointed out the indulgences to be gained this month, more especiallly on the feast of St. Anthony of Padua, the great Franciscan Saint. T here will be the usual annual devotions in honour of St. Anthony carried out with all the usual religious fer. your of Italians, for their great Saint of Padua on June 12, at 3 p.m., at Wanneroo. Tertiaries should try and be present at this beautiful reunion next Saturday, June 12, eve of the Feast of St. Anthony, at which their Director. Father Johnston. will officiate. It is needless to emphasise here all the reasons for devotion to this yenerated Saint, as all tertiaries are known the world over for love of this Saint la the Lilies, in whose honour the beautiful ceremony of the blessing of St. Anthony's lilies take place in the Franciscan Church, Sydney. on June 13, Feat of the Saint.

A merry crowd assembled at the Kindergarten for a social last Monday evening in aid of the Australian Stall. Dancing, some nice songs, and a dainty supper helped to make the evening very pleasant. Let's hope we have another one soon. Community Concert. Do you feel like singing? Don't forget next Thursday night at the Town Hall, where we are holding a community concert, and be there in time, or you will not get into the hall. Garden Party. A children's garden party, in aid of the Australian Stall, was held on the grounds of Mr. Ned Harrold on Monday. There were lots of lollies and comic cuts for the children. and lots of worry for the parents trying to get them there in time. All enjoyed themselves, and even the weather did not interfere until everything was over. We regret to annuonce the death of Mrs. Elizabeth Priest, of 51 Teague. street, who passed away peacefully in St. John's Hospital Belmont, on Wednesday, May 26. Requiem Mass for the repose of her soul was celebrated in St. Joachim's Church by Rev. Father Kieran on Thursday. To her relatives and friends we extend our sincere smpathy.
Fremantle Kitchen Tea -1O wish good luck to two wellknown members of the Fremantle parish —Miss M. Thomson and Mr. C. Hansen— who were married in St. Patrick's Church, Fremantle, on Monday, June 7, almost a hundred of their friends gathered in the Parish Hall on the night of Friday, June 4, to take part in a kitchen tea orgainsed by the Fremantle branch of the ,Catholic Young Men's Society, who were assisted lw the Children of Mary Sodality. The function was a definite success, and great credit was reflected on the committee, comprising Misses M. James, A. Caldow and M. Howson, for the Children of Mary, and Messrs. F. Townsend, B. Edwards and K. Kelly, for the ('.Y..M.S., who handled most capably every detail of the evening. An entertaining social programme, comprising dancing, individual items and a competition, helped to pass the hours happily away. The artists in eluded Mr. Ron Kelly, who sang "Mother Machree" and "Smiling Irish Eyes" most beautifully. Mr. F. Collins played his accordeon attractively. Mr Reg Hunter delighted with man. oolitic, items. Misses P. Murphy and J. Monaghan greatly pleased with their tap dancing. whilst Misses Amy Brown, Mary Sykes and Messrs. Char. les Power and Victor Tremberth were all accomplished pianists. The competition winners were Miss M. Thomson and Mr. T. PUSCV. Prior to supper, Rev. Father Ryan, ( Chaplain of the Children of Mary), presented to Miss M. Thomson a magnificent picture of Our Lady—a wedding present from the Sodality as a mark of appreciation of her loyalty to that body. He congratulated her, wishing her every blessing, and while e xpressing regret at her loss to the Children of Mary, took solace in the knowledge that the Sociality had recently received 30 new members during the May Retreat, Mr. Hansen suitably responded on behalf of Miss Thomson. A huge packing case full of kitchen utensils was then hauled forward and the happy couple—to the accompaniment of much good-natured banter— displayed a well selected variety of requisites. Mr. F. Townsend, on behalf of the C.Y.M.S., in a fine speech, made the presentation, eulogising Mr. Hansen's value to the Society since its formation. He wished the Young couple all the best on behalf of everybody present. In his reply Mr. Hansen thanked the C.Y.M.S. 'for its goodness and generosity in arranging the function, and assured all his association with the C.Y.M.S. would always remain one of his happiest memories. A beautiful supper followed. The evening concluded with C.Y.M.S. members giving three cheers for the Children of Mary in apprecation of the outstanding part they had played in the success of the evening, and then the whole gathering joined in singing "Auld Lang Syne."

Highgate Hill The attendance at the annual Novena to the Sacred Heart was very gratifying; large congregations attended Mass and received Holy ComThe Forty munion each morning. Hours' Devotions began on the Feast at the Solemn High Mass at 7 o'clock. The altar was beautifully decorated by the Sisters and the choir rendered the music of the Mass effectively and devotionally. A most impressive Holy Hour was preached by Very Rev. Father Walsh, C-SS.R., at 7.30 p.m. on Friday. On Sunday, Solemn High Mass was sung by Father Hussey at 10 o'clock, with Father Wallace as Deacon, Father Linnane Sub-Deacon, and Father Johnston Master of Ceremonies. The procession in the afternoon, which concluded the devotions, was, as usual, a striking demonstration of Faith, and Highgate has reason to be proud of this function, carried out with such solemnity and devotion year after year since the infancy of the parish. The Blessed Sacrament was carried by Rt. Rev. Monsignor Fagan, V.G., assisted by Fathers Wallace and Linnane. The priests present were: • Very Rev. Dean Brennan, V.F., Rev. Father Sheridan, Rev, Father Brennan, of the Mill Hill Fathers, Rev. Father Woods, Rev. Father Hussey and Rev. Father Heneby. The parish societies turned out in full strength—the Holy Name Society, the Women's Sacred Heart Confraternity, the Children of Mary, the Holy Angel Sodality. and the Altar The Sisters are to be heartily Boys. congratulated on the beauty of the elaborate altar in the school grounds, and our thanks are due -to the generous donors of flowers and candles. The Learoyd-street Church Committee held a successful bridge evening at the Mt. Lai,yley Bowling Club Pavilion on Tuesday. Congratulations to the enthusiastic organisers, and may we hear of them again. The parish euchre is showing an improvement. That new hall may yet become a reality if we make it clear that we want it. We seem to be in a dilemma—we can't have successful entertainments without a good hall, and %re can't hope for a new hall unless the parish entertainments are successful. Let's hope the problem will be solved in the near futur. A wedding of interest to all parishioners was solemnised with Nuptial Mass on Monday, June 7, when Mr. Joseph Graham, of West Perth, was united in the bonds of Holy Matrimony with Miss Josephine Irene Waldron, of Highgate. A beautiful feature of a most impressive ceremony was the presence of a large body of the bride's co-sodalists of the Children of Mary, who sang appropriate hymns and received Holy Communion- Miss Mercia de Mamie' gave solo renditions during the Offertory and at the signing of the register

Sectarianism in the Corn Sack ' The Wheatgrower,- the official organ oi the Wheatgrowers' Union ii, th is State. contained, in its issue of June 3. a cheap and nasty article entitled "A Priest Warns the Church." The writer was alleged to be one. Peter Whiffet!, said to be a Catholic missionary and the article is claimed to have appeared in the "Common. weal," "The Catholic World." and "The Forum." It contained nothing in any way original—just a rehash of all the old anticlerical ranting. But whether the article was 'written by a priest, whether the priest was in possession of his sacerdotal faculties, and whether the charges made were true or false, how in heaven's name does that concern "The Westralian Wheatgrower"? In brief, how does it affect the price of wheat? This new-born interest in Catholicism, which, however, is always on the side of criticism, misrepresentation and sneering, appeared first in the - Waterside Worker." Now it turns up in the "Wheatgrower." Abstracting altogether from the incongruity of these two examples. it may pertinently he asked what is the reason of this sudden and hostile interest in the Catholic Church. In the first instance, there is no doubt that it arose from the political colour of the committee responsible for the paper. In the second, there is a suggestion of something similar. It is an astonishing thing that the organisations whose mouthpiece Ihese papers are, should have so little or so lax control of them. When a newspaper ostensibly- dedicated to the interests of certain industries is permitted to embark on a virulent and undisguised sectarian campaign, it is time or the organisation concerned to use quick and strong measures gainst those responsible. Otherwise these papers might soon lament an inexplicable drop in circulation and a falling away of advertisers. The leading spirits in the formation of the Wheat growers' Union were Catholics'. arid a very large proportion of its membership is Catholic also. Yet an irresponsible editor is permitted flagrantly to wound the religious susceptibilities of the very people who pay his salary. Whether he will be permitted to repeat the offence remains to be seen, especially in view of the fact that the rules of the Union declare it to he non-sectarian and non-political. • • • • The subject matter of the article in question is the old one of a supposed spirit of anti-clericalism arising among the Catholic poor out of the extravagant wealth of the clergy. It is suppos ed to be all the stronger because it is the evidence of a priest. May we point out that this tactic is typical Communist propaganda. A striking example was furnished in a letter to the "Daily News" during the week from Mrs. I: Greenwood, who quoted numerous Catholic priests and writers alleged to support the Red Government in Spain. Of the four priests quoied. two at least have been deprived of their faculties, while the other two have been, not in Spain, but in Belgium. tinder the patronage of Ossorio v Gallardo, who himself has never practiced the Catholic faith, and is a tireless proRed propagandist. The "Catholic" paper, "Crux v Rava." and the three writers connected with it. are all suspect, are not representative. and are definitely not under ecclesiastical favour. Their " Catholicism is strongly tainted with Liberalism, and they are described as "sui generis." S) much for the general policy of quoting Catholics. whether silenced priests or "intellectuals," against the Church. * Speaking generally of the supposed wealth of the clergy, the position in Europe is well known. In Spain there. were magnificent Cathedrals administered by priests who were paid £40 per annum. In France the clergy are treated like civil servants In Australia priests receive a salary which is approximately onethird of what they might reasonably expect. with their educat ional qualifications. to earn in the world. Members of religious Orders receive their food and clothing. The Bishops in most cases are mortgaged as far as the banks will allow them. It is rather drivelling to keep on ranting about the wealth of the Church in such,,e ircumstances. If, to-morrow, the priests exceeded their offieeand began preaching a definite social programme, these same' critics would be. the most raucous voices protesting against a clerical invasion of politics. This very thing happened in this Vate recently, when the hare principles of the Papal Encyclicals were broadcast. So the critics continue to ‘iax e it both ways, and the Churcn continues to be a stumbling-block as Her Founder and Apostle s prophecied. But She also continues to be the greatest philan, thropic organisation in the world. Her money is poured out on those marvellous basilicas and cathedrals which are the cultural treasures of the secular world, and the Tabernacles of God, and on those innumerable modern schools which, unrivalled, are the most formidable bulwark against the rising tide of. paganism. But not alone on these.. The -orphan. the aged, the insane, and the Magdalen—where are these catered for so well or so numero usly as, in the institutions of the Catholic Church? As. during the first four centuries of Her existence. She brought the world out of slavery and degraded poverty, so She shall do it again. For what organisation can history show which has handled such enormous m aterial treasures with so little personal interest or profit?

Silence of Spanish Relief Committee
A fter a noisy and minatory display in the evening press, the Spanish Relief Committee lapsed into a happy oblivion until last week, when there was a demonstration in favour of some nurses who were going to succour the wounded on the Government side in Spain. It was never very clear as to the necessity of this organisation setting up its own nursing units when the Red Cross already existed which could handle the situation very capably, and moreover would be impartial in its ministrations. The pretence of impartiality broke down recently in Geelong, Victoria, where the local committee, under pressure, agreed to distribute the funds e Iually on both sides. The Perth speakers went to some pains to disabuse the pubic mind of any doubts it might have had about their Communistic_ leanings. Yet quite recently, when such Communistic leanings were alleged against them, they followed up \'‘-ith threats of libel action. if a retraction wt.--e n t forthcoming. heir bluff was caned Tli,ufgh their demand for an apology was refused, nothing further !,,•en heard of their thr,:nt o go to court, and a fortnight's opc-ii!) !t‘• H silence. .04P-404. 4.11.

Racing and Trotting (By "Recorder.") Racegoers are well catered for this Saturday by a well-asorted six-event programme at the Canning Park Course. All the best horses will be seen in action, and keen racing is certain to be witnessed. Make Canning Park your venue this Saturday, and we can promise you an exciting and perhaps, profitallle, afternoon's sport. • • • • Saturday night's Trotting meeting at Richmond Park Course should be well worth watching. The programme, which comprises six events, should be interesting. Proceedings will open with a Breeders' Handicap, while the other five events are open for horses who have registered 2.23 or better. Large fields will contest these races, which should be chockfull of thrills, as the back markers try to work their way through or round the field. Trotting enthusiasts are always certain of a good evening's sport at Richmond Park. Selections: 4 64

,/ The Crowning of the "Queen of May at St. Brigid's Brilliant Ceremony "A thing of beauty is a joy for ever," so sang the poet in a mood of gladness and the sentiment was re-echoed by every heart that beat within the precincts of St. Brigid's Church on Sunday evening, May 30, when the parishioners of St. Brigid's witnessed a never -to-be-forgotten ceremony. The church was thronged with parishioners, visitors from afar, including a number of non-CaAll were expectant of tholics. the impressive ceremony of the crowning of the "Queen of May." Everything went on very gracefully, and in dignified manner. The atmosphere was tense and devotional. The preacher chose a text in A keeping with the occasion. little child was to crown Our Lady "Queen of the May." His text was: "Unless you become as little children, you cannot enter He the Kingdom of Heaven." insisted on the fitness of devotion to Mary. our Mother, both from natural grounds and from Christ's example and xvords, -Behold thy Mother."

All eyes were fixed upon her as mounted the she tremblingly many steps; and placing the crown on Our Lady's head, paused a moment with upraised hand. The crowning will linger long It is much for us in memory. to look back upon. It is indeed a sacred memory for the child. The action was simple, brief and unrehearsed; but how symbolical, far more so than the crowning of any earthly queen. it symbolised all that is simple and noble, pure and chaste, all that is lovely in childhood, virginity, motherhood, and queenly majesty. Rev. Father Docherty, missioner from the Gilbert Islands, and whose parents reside in West Perth, preached the occasional sermon in dignified and devotional manner. He also officiated at the procession and Benediction, assisted by Father Woods. A mighty lot of praise is due to the Sister in charge of the sacristy and her band of helpers, for the brilliance of "Coronation night." and to - 41e parents who decked out their children of the Queen's entourage in such a regal and artistic manner.

THE RECORD
Subiaco Parish Pariah Bali The date of the annual ball is only three weeks off, and the committee of the Young Men's Club have all arrangements well in hand. This year the decorating of St. Joseph's Hall will be very elaborate, and should surpass anything of the past. The floor will be in perfect condition, while Miss Myra Willoughby's orchestra, and exhibition dances, will help to make this night one of the most enjoyable ever held. An added attraction will be the presentation to His Grace the Archbishop of a number of debutantes. Tickets are obtainable at 5s. single, and 7s fid double, and as only a limited number are available, patrons are urged to secure them early to avoid disappointment. Just a reminder to those who intend coming: The date of the ball is Monday, July 5, from 8.30 p.m. till 2 a.m., and is being conducted by the Subiaco Catholic Young Men's Club, whose enthusiasm and capabilities are now an outstanding feature of Catholic activities. Change of Masses. The new innovation of three Masses each Sunday, which commenced last week, was very successful, and it is hoped will continue to be so. Just a reminder to those late corners: These Masses commence at 7.30 a.m., 9 a.m., and 10.30 a.m. Children of Mary Sodality. A very successful bridge and rummy e vening, in aid of the church, was conducted by the Children of Mary in St. Joseph's Hall on Friday, June 4 A very fair attendance of members and friends were present, and prizes were won by Mesdames Head and West, and Misses Parker and T. Callaghan. The Sodality intends to hold another of these evenings shortly, and the date will be announced later. Subiaco Catholic Young Men's Club Notes. Monster Carnival Dance.

Sunday morning dawned rosy and beautiful and quickly dispelled the grave doubts engendered by the overcast sky on Saturday. Our prayers were answered, in spite of the barometer and the gloomy weather prophets who promised as usual "scattered showers." About 2.30 p.m. the conditions were ideal, with hardly a breath of wind blowing. People couN be seen approaching the church on the hill from all point, of the compass. Before 3 o'clock the church was literally pacged, and there i'as a large crowd outside optiitnstic enough to try to get in. Punctually at 3 o'clock, the procession began. The crossbearer, with two acolytes, led the way, followed by the Clontarl Band, which immediately cimtmenced ti play "Sweet Sacrament Divine.Members of the Holy Name Society followed, and they were well represented. The Sacred Heart Sodality was there in force. from Fremantle and East Fretnantle. as yell as from Beaconsfield. About 100 Children of Mary came next, and they presented a colourful picture in their blue and white regalia. Thirty little children in red cloaks showered flowers before the Blessed Sacrament. which was carried by Father Alicante, assisted by Father Kenny, n Xr Slowly and solemnly the procession wound its way around the church and down the hill to the basket -hall court, where the first altar was erected. A fter Benediction the ranks were formed again and proceeded along the road to the second altar in the valley beyond the church. Then one could get an excellent view of the procession as a whole and it was a magnificent sight. A t least 750 people marched and sang lustily, while another hundred or so looked on frimi the hill. Never before were so many
people gathered together 'on the highest point in Beaconsfield. A t the second Benediction the crowd knelt on the green sward and it was a welcome change front the gravel of the basket-ball court. A s the Sacred Host was raised aloft in Benediction, the bell was rung and the kneeling hundreds bowed down in adoration. Then once more the procyssion was formed and went back to the Church for the third and final Benediction. In a short sermon Father Alicante exhorted the people to go to Communion frequently, because it %'as in order to give Himself to us that Jesus Christ remains in our tabernacles under the form of bread. And so ended our Corpus Christi procession, the first ever seen in Beaconsfield, but. ; God, it will not be the last. We would like to thank again t he •Superior of the Clontari Orphanage for the ser% ices of the band. We thank the boys themselves, too, for having played so well, thereby confounding the onlooker who said that some of the instruments were bigger than the players: nevertheless they used them well. Without the band the procession would have been a very tame affair indeed. We are grateful, too, to the f our stalwarts who carried the canopy and carried it very well. The preliminary canter in the morning bore fruit. It was fo:- tunate that Monday was a holiday. so that they could rest their :idling muscles. With the experience gained this year front our first attempt. w e feel sure that next Year's procession will be better even than la -4 Sunday's.

READING FOR THE HOME
G. K. CHESTERTON. In loving and grateful memory of the great Catholic apologist, whose first anniversary occurs on the 14th. inst., we reprint these beautiful lines by Humbert Wolfe:—
Now let the trumpets of the sunlight spatter the routed thunder rolling with the drums, and let Ate enemies of darkness scatter. Let the great gate swing open. A hero comes. Like John of Austria from conquest riding bidding his armies to march in without him, he climbs unconscious of the glory chiding the tattered cloak of mit he wraps about him. When all was still, save for the evil pealing of crooked chimes that on the midnight slurred the hollow voices of the Satyrs reeling out of the pit, his cap and bells were heard, Like a great wind, after a night of thunder he rocked the sodden marshes of the soul, and r:pped the mists of cowardice asunder with laughter vivid as an aureole. He doer not need to knock against the gate whose every action like a prayer ascended. and heat econ the panels. Trumpets, wait We loved for a hushed instant! :t is ended. hirn.

A LITURGICAL CATECHISM

Q. \\ hat is understood by the term "rite"? A. Rite (from ritus, custom) is the form, fixed by definite legislation or lawful custom, in which liturgical funtcions must be carried out. The form may consist of ceremonies and prayers or of ceremonies, prayers and chants Hence we speak of the rite of Baptism, of Pontifical rite for functions carried out by a bishop, and of the Roman Rite, the Coptic Rite, the Maronite Rite, etc., that is, the whole complex of the services of the Roman, the Coptic, the Maronite Church. In this last sense we use the term rite in this chapter. (:). What is the origin of the various rites of the Catholic Church? A. The Catholic world was divided first into three and subsequently into five Patriarchates. Each Patriarchate developed its own rite or modified its parent rite. These Patriarchates were if Rome, which represented the Western world and to which all the others were subject, of Antioch. of .Alexandria, of Jerusalem and of Constantinople (Byzantium). Some of these rites used various languages, language not being a criterion of rite. Q. How many rites are there in the Catholic Church? A. There are nineteen rites, of which three are Western and sixteen are proper to the Eastern Uniats. Q. What is understood by the term Eastern Uniats? A. The Eastern Uniats are those various groups of Oriental Catholics who broke off from the Schismatical Churches of the East and returned to the allegiance of Rome. Each group was allowed to keep its own rite and to use the liturgical language to which it was accustomed. Q. How many Eastern Uniats now exist? A. The Uniats—the name being-. however, given to some Oriental Christians who were never in schism—amount to about eight millions. They are Catholics in every sense of the world and are in union with Rome.

THE RECORD,
British Lord Chancellorship C AN A CATHOLIC HOLD OFFICE? It is a popular belief that the only public office in England from which the ban against Catholics has not been removed is the Lord Chancellorship. According to an article in the current "Dublin Review," by Mr. Derek Harbord and Mr. Ralph Cusack, there is good authority for holding that this view of the law is unsound. Some 65 years ago a Catholic M.P., Sir Colman (..)'Loghlen wanted to introduce a Bill to make Catholics eligible for t he Woolsack. Before doing so he asked the Attorney-General if they Were in fact ineligible. The Attorney-General (afterwards Lord Chief Justice Coleridge) replied that, in his opinion, they xvvre not statute barred, and his Catholic questioner thereupon dropped the Bill as superfluous. Lord Chancellor Haldane, a still no )re distinguished lawyer, left i t on record that he was of the .-ame opinion. The Attorney( ;eneral's reasons are set out at mg-th in the "Dublin Review," gether with the necessary quotations from the statutes. Mr. ! arbor(' is a barrister-at-law who , ractices on the South-Eastern ircuit.

C OMMUNISTS SPEND TWO MILLION A YEAR ON PROPAGANDA. A rchbishop's Statement at C.W.L. Meting. "I was informed only the other day in London that at the present time Russia is spending no less t han two million pounds a year on Communist propaganda in England alone," said Archbishop Mostyn, speaking at the annual m eeting of the Cardiff branch of the Catholic Women's League in England recently. "You may wonder, perhaps," he continued, "what the mem. b ers of the Catholic Women's League can do in this regard. First of all, try and know the t eaching of your religion thoroughly, especially as regard's anything to do with the labour question. " Again, do your best to warn your husbands, brothers, and sons of the dangers of Communism. and urge them to have nothing to do with it; but most important of all, pray earnestly, e specially when you go to Holy Communion, that God will stop the spread of.

PRESIDENT QUEZON DEMANDS PHILIPPINE AUTONOMY FROM U.S.A.

The interest of Catholics in the Philippines has lately been aroused by the Eucharistic Congress. In America there is now another reason for Philippine news value. The visit of Manuel Quezon, of the Philippine Comresident P monwealth, to that country has created quite a controversy concerning their proposed freedom. His visit was to discuss plans for the establishment of better economic relations between the two Governments. He took advantage of his visit by making it clear that he favoured complete autonomy for the Philippines before 1945, the year set by the United States for their in "Military Dictatorship" Prcsithmt Quezon emphatically denied the charges made by several critics who contend he is building a military dictatorship in the Philippine Islands. Oswald Garrison Villard. associate editor of the "Nation." started the controversy when he boldly criticised President Oueon's policies. He expressed fear a military dictatorf31.'4; and for-- the Philipeat dines." According to Mr. Villard. President Ouezon's military training programme sounds "suspiciously like Rome, Berlin and Moscow:" and he suggests the neutralisation of the Philippines as the an•- • Nv er to her problems. The Rev. James M. Gillis C.S.P.. writing in the current issue of the "Catholic World." conskiers it a foolish move on the part of the United States in gaining the Philippines their freedom Their proximity to the ever-expanding Japan put the Philippines in a very dangerous posiIf Japan gained control tion. of the islands, he says, it would be a disastrous blow to the Catholic Church since, for obvious reasons, the foreign clergy would be forced to leave the islands There are 12.000.000 Catholic. in the Philippines and nearly fifty per cent. of the priests serving these people are foreign born mostly Americans.

The ten o'clock Mass, during which this signal honour was conferred on Mr. Russell, was celebrated by Rev, Father John Russell., only son of Mr and Mrs, Russell, and so well and fay-. oora.bly known in the Archdiocese. The procession from St. Mary's Presbytery to the church, composed of the crossbearer, acolytes, Mr. Russell, wearing the full uniform of his knighthood, and Jf His Grace, passed through a very fine guard of honour which extended from the main church door through the main gates and to the corner of PorAfter the announcements, ter-street.
