FOUR submit proof that Polish Catholics were indeed responsible for the persecution, then you would have no need to become panicstricken in your efforts to think out a reply to his complaints. You could condemn such conduct as heartily as he does. Defence of the Christian religion does not demand the defence of wrong conduct on the part of all who If you profess that religion. chink it does, then you shoulder a task I certainly would not be prepared to undertake. There seems no answer to his contention. I leave it to you to reply. I can't. It would do him a service were you to suggest to him that hasty judgments based on inadequate information are not - prudent. Meantime I hope the points I have suggested will help to dispel your own anxiety. Furthermore, he states as his considered opinion that Catholic countries have been the worst offenders in persecuting the Jews.
The presence of any priest in the army as chaplain only serves to sanctify war, and the cause they are fighting for, no matter how bad. The chaplain's It does not. presence serves to secure the spiritual welfare of such unfortunate men as are wounded or dying, whether the souls appealing to him for help are friends or enemies from the military point of view. The army is a body of men sworn to fight and obey their superiors, and their actions are not controlled by. their own reason or conscience. Soldiers are subject to the demands of military obedience, but that very obedience is their reasonable choice, and their actions are very much subject to the control of their own conscience. Many soldiers are the most conscientious of men in the fulfilment of duties allotted to them by their military superiors.

That is the normal law applicable to all Catholics in general. Mr. Lyons, Prime Minister of Australia, is,I understand a Catholic. Correct. Y et he attended the Coronation Westminster c eremonies in Abbey. T ie did. Those ceremonies were of a religious character, conducted by Protestant Bishops. They were. What is the attitude of the Catholic Church in this matter? Her attitude is that Mr. Lyons, as Prime Minister of Australia, was quite justified in his attendance. The Canon Law of the Church governing this matter says, firstly, that it is never lawful for any Catholic to take active part in non-Catholic religiBut. ous rites and ceremonies.
your neighbour, I will answer, No! I am not obliged to go into exceptional circumstances, say, of necessary self-defence, which might excuse your action. So The now I hope all is clear. normal Catholic in normal circumstances may not be present, either actively or passively, at non-Catholic religious services. Mr. Lyons, in his capacity as Prime Minister of Australia, was justified in his official representation of Australia by his passive presence at the nationally important ceremonies of the Coronation.

The next character of importance is the monk—worldly and lax, yet a likeable personality. England was Catholic in Chaucer's day and monasteries flourished all over the land. But the fact that this monk was not observant is not evidence (as some writers imply) that all the monks Yet it in England were lax. must be admitted that there was a number of unworthy monks and friars in England in the fourHilaire Belloc teenth century. attributes this state of affairs to the effect of the Black Death (1348), which "suddenly and severely lowered the standards of instruction among the clergy. The necessity of hurriedly providing new incumbents was the cause." But the point is, as Cardinal Gasquet stresses in his study, "England under the Old R eligion," that, though religion in the fourteenth century might have been more active and more spiritual, still in the hearts of the people the Faith was deeply implanted—the Faith that was to produce in a generation or two St. Thomas More and the host of English martyrs. And in to well this connection it is notice that Chaucer was no scoffer of religion as is sometimes asserted; rather, as one writer aptly remarks: "Chaucer was so good a Catholic that he could on occasions poke sly fun at monks who were lovers of good cheer and at clerics who took themselves too seriously." As a final point with regard to the monk, it is .interesting to know- why Chaucer lays so much emphasis on the fact that he was fond of hunting. In 1215, at the Lateran Council, Pope Innocent III. had forbidden hunting to all clerics; so that it would be a rare sight to see a monk inHence, dulging in that sport. the mention of this detail alone would convey to fourteenth century Englishmen just the type of character the monk mssessed.

Why He Had to Stop a Foreign Priest From Talking.

IR John Simon has explained in a letter to Mr. Alfred Denville, M.P., why Father Henry Gabana, refugee priest from Barcelona, is not allowed to speak in England. Mr. Denville has asked the Home Secretary if the ban could be raise41 to allow Father Gabana to address private meetings. Sir john Simon writes: "MN" dear Denville,—I have considered your request that Father Gabana may be allowed t o address certain meetings of Catholics on the position in Spain. Some of these meetings apparently have been advertised and members of the public have heen invited, but as regards others it is suggested that they might be private meetings to which admission would be obtainable only by a card of invitation.

staining from activities directed to furthering the cause of either side. As you will realise, the question whether admission to the proposed meetings is by public notice or by card of invitation is irrelevant. In either case they would be meetings arranged for the purpose of enabling a foreign visitor to this country to advocate the cause of one of the parties in the Spanish struggle.— Yours very sincerely, "John Simon." One phrase in Sir John Simon's letter is very interesting. He told our Catholic authorities a few weeks ago that he could not submit to the King an address in which our Archbishops and Bishops were referred to as "Catholic"—"Roman Catholic," it seems, is necessary. In the above letter Sir John seems to have forgotten all about this sort of thing; he writes, quite naturally. of "meetings of Catholics"

Each year he v isited England. After the outbreak of war he left England to r eturn to Spain, but as he was

too well known it was impossible for him to get back to Barcelona, so he returned to England, where he gave numerous lectures on Spain. When one of the Scottish Communists M.P.s, Mr. McGovern, published a violent pamphlet "Why the Bishops Back Franco," Father Gabana, finding it full of misconceptions, wrote to Mr. McGovern expressing a desire to meet him to talk about Spain. Mr. McGovern, who was abroad, replied courteously stating his willingness to meet Father Gabana. After some time, when Mr. McGovern had returned but made no move towards the meeting, Father Gabana wrote to remind him. This time Mr. McGovern replied with an offensive letter saving that he would not meet him "for any other reason than debate." Father Gabana at once replied that he would be quite pleased to meet him in debate, and asked him to arrange the date. No answer came for a considerable time, but at last Mr. McGovern wrote to Father Cabana, "to inform you that I accept your offer very gladly." Within two days, Mr. McGovern's colleague, the other Scottish Communist M.P., Mr. Gallacher, raised the question of Father Gabana in the House of Commons, and suggested that he should he forbidden to speak in public. The Home Secretary. Sir John Simon referring to Father Cabana as "this individual," obligingly complied with the Communist M.P.'s suggestion. so now Mr. McGovern can say what he likes about Spain without fear of contradiction from Father Gabana.

W. F. Hart, whose approach to the subject will be appreciated by Catholics. "It is as easy to bleach negroes as to Christianise Communism," he declared, "it is a creed, and the creed is anti-God." Now that is just the point— Communism is anti-God, and it is precisely for this reason that one would expect all Christians to unite against the common foe. But no such thing.-- I am not aware of anything in any way comparable to the Papal Encyclicals on "Communism" from the pen of any Protestant leader. On the contrary, it is disturbing to read of the Communist movement, which was carried on a few years ago under the dishonest name of the "Catholic Crusade" of parishes in the Anglican Sneyd, Thaxted and elsewhere in England, When challenged by the Earl of Glasgow in the disclose to House of Lords "what action the Church proposes to take against this propaganda." the Archbishop of Canterbury admitted the facts, but minitnised them as the "not very hopeful attempt Of a few misguided clergy to combine Communist principles with the prinHis ciples of Christianity." Grace went on to say: "The last thing to be desired is the investing of this little group with a new importance by giving them the glory of martyrdom." •

do nothing more than bear it aloft, and hide in its folds when awkward questions are asked—if they are ever asked nowadays. If group settlers or soldier settlers are discontented, the Communist advises a "united front." P. en there is the "anti-war, anti-Fascist" racket, which clearly demonstrates the yellow tactics of the Communists, namely, to foment the worst of all wars. classwar. There is a whole multitude of little catches for making Communism-gone-yellow look respectable.

UT there is one matter to which I must devote special comment. It is the Communist "penetration" of the churches, the Communist prostitution to their own p.nti-Christian purposes of Christian idealism, the Communist gulling and hoodwinking of people that all is well with religion under Communism. This is the worst of all, because it is an activity so craven and so slimy that no creature above the level of the type of sneak who loots church boxes could be capable of it. Like all anti-social groups whose object is tyranny, the Reds try to give a religious as well as a patriotic flavour to their programme for destruction of both country and Church. In view of Communism's historic policy of opposition to religion, it is rather hard, to understand how supposedly intelligent Reds will commit the supreme absurdity of identifying themselves and their provram me with the activities of their sworn enemy, the Church. Having taken to cowardly hiding within the folds of the -Flag. the Communists can easily go a step further and seek sanctuary within the sacred precincts of the temples devoted to the worship of the Supreme Being. in whom no good Communist believes, and whom their Russian friends are in the act of "pulling down from the heavens." While Communists in Spain burn churches and slaughter priests, the Communists in Australia seek the support of Catholics in their "United Front." In the recent debate in the Perth Town Hall the Communist speaker did not explain 1w what process of deception the Reds are able to convince true Christians that "unity" with Communists is the only way to preserve religious liberty in Australia. One could thumb through the history of hypocrisy, and fail to find a more sordid and depraved story of calculated deception than the United Front is—whatever its guise.

Wedding TURNER—COTTON. On June 26, quite a large gathering assembled at St. Mary's Cathedral to witness the marriage of John Edmund Turner, younger son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Turner, of The Grove, Lesmurdie, and Miss Henrietta Cotton, second eldest daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Cotton, Nedlands. The officiating priest was Rev. Father O'Reilly. The bride, who entered the church on the arm of her eldest brother, Mr. Frank Cotton, looked very graceful in her frock of white satin, which was made tunic style, high neck, at which was worn a posy of orange blossom. A long soft falling train fell from the waist. She wore an exquisite bridal veil, which was held in place by a very effective cap composed of white velvet leaves. (The bridal veil was kindly lent by a friend of the bride.) A beautiful sheaf of white roses and gladioli completed her toilette. The bridesmaids were dressed in old world frocks of lilac net over lilac taffeta. They wore halos of tea roses, The flower girl, Miss Joy McHenry, was frocked similarly, and carried a basket of tea roses. The duties of best man were ably carried out by Mr. Bert Hill, of Kalamunda. After the ceremony a very sumptuous reception was held at the Lesser Hall, Nedlands, the guests being received by Miss Kitty Cotton (sister of the bride), wearing a very striking frock of midnight blue figured satin, and hat to tone. Mrs. Turner, the bridegroom's mother, was gowned in a very smart ensemble of mulberry shade, finished with grey fox fur. Her hat, which was exactly the same tone, was finished with a gold quill. Mr. and Mrs. John Turner wer.: the recipients of many useful presents, inchiding cheques. The bride's travelling frock was a smart tailored black costume, worn with black and white accessories.

WHAT /S REXISM ? A Review of Recent Political and Social Trends in Belgium ASCISM," Mussolini once said, "is not for But he export." never said it was not for imitation, and since the march on Rome there have been many countries that have had their internal problems complicated by the -emergence of imitations. Belgium is one of them. Its position was still further complicated by the fact that the fascist imitators were banded together in the name of Christ the King and that when their leader went to the polls he had the ecclesiastical authorities of the country against him. What then is this Rexism ?

The Catholic party that was not the beginning of a new was then formed was not a "confespolitical party, but it aimed at a sional" party, for others besides more democratic choice of candipractising Catholics could, and dates for election. It seemed indid, belong to it. It was supnocent enough at first, but it was ported by those who believed beginning of internal dissenthat certain rights belonged to the sion in the Catholic party. the Church and the schools, and that the fundamental cause of individual liberty required their defence. The mere establishment of this party was enough to secure the rights for which the Catholics and those with them were determined to fight, for there were many in the major party whose views were similar to theirs. Still it was not for many years, not in fact until 1884, that the Catholic party had a political majority. When it got it, it held it until the European war.
HEN came the war, and after it the peace. Devastated areas had to be made habitable, destroyed towns re-built, and the administration of the country restored after occupation by the foreigner. The reconstitution of the country was everybody's aim and for a time party politics were brushed aside. It was even thought that a National Political Union could replace the old party alignment. But this proved impossible. As soon as the country began to settle down the old parties began to arise again, and within a few years the "tripartite cabinet" which stood for the "National" Government, no longer represented the country's wishes, so the old divisions returned.
It is an axiom that all political movements of any value must have their roots in a country's history and traclition, and it follows from this that the history o f a country rather than its particular state at any one time must be examined if any particular movement in it is to be understood.

Then came the Socialist Party, a little more advanced, and with more clearly defined aims than the pre-war Labour Party in It was not Marxist, England. but it wanted the nationalisation of the leading industries, and supported a progressive labour policy. It was opposed to the Catholic Church, but in a different way to the Liberal party. It did not want religion and would sweep it all away and confiscate church property, but it was not obsessed by a religious bogey as the Liberal party was.

Lastly there was the Catholic, the strongest, party. Different views on burning questions of language and social reform were straining internal unity and causing numerous defections, but still unity was maintained at election time, and the party was just able to hold its lead.

None of the parties was exactly the same as it had been before, and the change in the Catholic party was very notable. It became a federation rather than a party, and provided one of the most interesting developments that was so far seen in Catholic political movements in Europe. It has been pointed out before the War the Flemish and the democratic movements within the Catholic party tended to break the bonds of party unity. After the war the realities of this situation were faced. The Belgian People's Party which was the name, never quite justified, given to the democratic wing of the party, was now dissolved, and four classes got recognition, the Boerenbond. now taking political campaigning within its scope; the workers; the middle classes: and the professional class It was a most unexpected development, but it promised well. The most important feature of it was the workers' section, which meant the arising of a definitely Catholic Labour Party (Algemeen Chisten Workers-Bond), and next in importance was the fact that the whole tone of the' Catholic party was now definitely democratic. In spite of this, however, it held the support of many whose sympathies were strongly conservative. In particular it had, in its professional section, the support of a very considerable part of the professional element of the country. The Catholic party, re-arranged on this class basis, was equally strong in the Walloon and in the Flemish districts of the country, though certain sections of the federation had particular strength in certain areas. Thus it was in the Walloon parts of the country and in the cities that the professional element was strong, while it was chiefly in Flanders that the Catholic Workers and the farmers' supporters were most numerous.

Close on seventy members of the Society attended the annual general Communion and Breakfast on 4th. inst. It was very pleasing to see such a good response to the efforts of the executive. Present also at the breakfast were Rev. Father Kenny, Rev. Brother Duffy, and representatives from five kindred societies. The speeches were, on the whole ,eloquent and to the point, and the toasts spoken to were: "The Archbishop and Clergy" together with the "Christian B rothers," proposed by Len Townsend, and responded to by Rev. Father Kenny and Rev. Brother Duffy; "The C.Y.M.S.," proposed by Jim McLinden, and responded to by the President, Frank Townsend; "Kindred Societies," proposed by Maury Killeen and responded to by Freddy Webb, on behalf of the kindred societies; "The Ladies," proposed by Kevin Clarke; and "The Chairman," proposed by Bob Sharpen, and responded to by Frank T ownsend. A presentation to our ever-ready ladies' committee was made during the breakfast, but, of course, the ladies, Mesdames Naylor, Brown , Munsie, Gabbedy, and Treasure. while delighted with the gifts, stoutly assured us us that the young men were wasting their money by making the presentation. We realise the value of these splendid ladies, and we simply had to show them that their efforts to help our society are deeply appreciated by all of our members. Dance. Our weekly dances are beginning to boom, and their success reflects a great deal of credit on our enterprising social committee, who are going to put over something special in another week or two. Weekly Meetings. The new committee are getting right into the matter of novel syllabus items to be conducted after our Friday night meetings. Already our younger members have shown their appreciation of our step in arranging for weekly meetings, and we hope to see our older members follow suit. Friday, 23rd. inst., will be a card evening: rummy and euchre. Chaplain, It was with regret that we learned at our last meeting that our Chaplain, Rey. Father Ryan, was compelled to relinquish his position through lack of time. Father Ryan has been connected with the society for some years now and has always been ready to help us to the best of his ability. The society's loss, however, was tempered somewhat by the introduction of our new Chaplain, Rev. Father Weldon. who made an immediate hit with the chaps. His presence at the first meeting of the new executive was an innovation which we greatly appreciate.

The master of the house rang the hell and told the maid that he was seriously annoyed with her. "Why on earth did you tell your mistress what time I came home last night when I particularly told- you to keep quiet about it?" 'But I didn't tell her, sir," was the reply. "The mistress asked me what time you came in, and I told her that I was too busy getting the breakfast to notice."
At the meeting held on Tuesday last, Mr. Paul Brennan delivered a most instructive lecture on Communism. He traced its history from the very early stages up to present times. Mr. Brennan is well versed in his subject, and the suggestion of the Spiritual Director (Rev, Dr. McMahon) that the paper be - published in pamphlet form was enthusiastically received. Interesting discussion followed, and the meeting expressed a desire to hear Mr. Brennan again at a later date. The annual ball will be held on Monday night at the Embassy, and is an assured success. Debutantes will be presented to His Grace the Archbishop and exhibition dances will be given. Tickets are available at Chesterton Book Shop, Musgrove's, and Guild Office, Crawley. This is going to be the best ball of the season, so come along. The next meeting is fixed for Tuesday, August 3, when Rev. Father Fahey, D.S.O., will lecture on Communism. All who desire to make the Retreat are urged to send in their names to the secretary.

The broadcast on Monday night was most instructive. It was addressedin the name of "the Catholics of Australia" to Australia. After the entertaining preliminaries we have been accustomed to expect, the inevitable discussion on religion took place. The Catholic apologist outlined the history of the moral code, attributing the rise of dictatorship to the breakdown of religious sanctions through universal scepticism. The menace of Communism, of the "biggest basher" enslaving the community, can be adequately countered only by a sound system of religious education. That State is already partly totalitarian, which gives the choice only of non-religious schools. Another education entertainment will be broadcast on Monday next,

Dear Reverend Sir,—The subject matter of your address at the annual service of the Loyal Orange Institution, as repc.rted in the "West Australian" during the week, could not, in any sense, be described as surprising or provocative. Nobody has any title to astonishment if the favourite wins (if you can overlook the unfortunate metaphor). In brief, your remarks were such as the community has learned to expect of von—completely impervious to the known truth, utterly void of understanding even the objects of your scorn, and absurdly idealistic over things which have no existence in the order of reality. In thus stigmatising your •ratorical efforts,' we have no intention whatever of branding the religious sect of which you are the leader, or of casting aspersions on We are as well aware as your the non-Catholic body at large. the least a representative opinion. own people that yours is not in utterances are as much public your of many that realise We fully regretted by your own flock as they are the subject of humorous appreciation by Catholics.

Paradoxical indeed \ v a s survival. a religious of example superb the occasion that gave you, the really old-fashioned Protestant, an opportunity to speak on "Up-to-Date Protestantism," which you are even less qualified to understand and appreciate than Catholicism. You spoke with a fervid glow of the progressive evolution of Protestantism, without so much as a hint that the historical Protestantism is a history of progressive degeneration and disinAre you surprised when a religion that commenced tegration. with a protest bids fair to end with a doubt? Has it never struck %-ott that there is some necessary and vital correlation between tht. denial of Papal supremacy and the denial of the Divinity of Christ? When you declaimed. "how, century after century, Protestantism lifted its head higher in the heavens," were you not struck with the parallel in the conduct of the Bearer of Light and the identification of the twin mottoes, "I will not serve." Be careful. Reverend Sir, of lifting your head higher in the heavens, especially if uninvited, lest you he found to have your face turned against God. This exattation. which is known as pride. caused the fall of the first Protestant, Lucifer, and it is for you, as much as for the poor Papists, to keep both feet on the firm ground of humility. • We suppose it is largely your own business if you choose to celebrate the Battle of the Boyne. But it does seem to us to lack proportion and significance. It is actually silly if vou imagine that that little skirmish on the Boyne established a reign of ProYou know as well as we do that Ireland testantism in Ireland. is now, as ever, a Catholic country, whose essential unity is not impaired by the distasteful fanaticism of a clique in the Northern counties. If you want to celebrate a really important religious battle, drink to Lepanto. You spoke a great deal about what Pro. testantism is supposed to have been and to have become. Actually Protestantism was, in its origins, merely a protest against the C" hurch functioning authoritatively as Christ had ordained. But your "up-to-date Protestantism" has not even the genuine ring of a challenge or a denial. It has degenerated into a welter of religious liberalism. The distinction between its being a "principle" rather than a "policy" escapes us. But we do know that the modern thing is chiefly characterised by doubt, even of the fundamental Christian truths. But to be quite fair to yourself, von have captured and retained the spirit of primeval Protestantism. You are still protesting against drink, gambling, horse-racing, raffles, and the Scarlet Woman of Rome. There is just this danger, that you perhaps protest too much about bagatelles and too little about the cardinal vices. We do not recall your denunciations of divorce, To sterilisation, birth-control, social oppression. or euthanasia. Catholic the into line with stepping do this would, of course, mean Church.

We feel that no reply is necessary to your remarks about Spain and Abyssinia. This is not the place for a primary -school survey of European history. It is all too sad that your zeal for historical anniversaries does not prompt you to examine elementary historical facts.
Abolition of Poverty
It is a matter for some surprise and not unjustifiable suspicion. that an organ of public opinion like the "West Australian," should sponsor an examination of the causes of poverty with a view to its abolition. Not, of course, that anyone imagines that poverty can be abolished, but rather that the social conditions which make for its inevitability for the masses may be altered. Some hundreds et diverging views appeared in the press, but there were three especially subscribed to. These were: Lack of purchasing power, the control of credit by private individuals, rather than by G..vernments, and the factors that make for personal inefficiency. Non, of these analyses seem to make for a radical diagnosis. Pope Leo XIII. put his finger on the pulse of the social disorder w hen he wrote: "The concentration of so many branches of trade in the hands of a few individuals, so that a. small number of very rich men have been able to lay upon the masses of the poor a yoke little better than slavery itself." The problem that faces the world has two aspects. Firstly, the masses are in a condition of degrading poverty little removed from slavery, and secondly, many have lost the concept of liberty and the desire for economic independence. The restoration of the spiritual notion of freedom is based upon the Christian conception of the nature of man. A solid and just economic order must be established on the basis of the brotherhood of all men in the Fatherhood of a common God. The practical problem of povNo erty will be solved only by a redistribution of property amount of stop-gap legislation like national insurance, child endowment, etc., will produce lasting and satisfactory results.

Much proposed legislation is intended merely as a sop to keep the people uncomplaining in their chains. There is only one way to the restoration of liberty, and that is through the distribution of property. .1100.-.041.-4141.-.1141.-.00-•••-•11111.-

"Your Grace,—Your colleagues in the •Australian Hierarchy cannot allow you to leave Sydney without bidding vou sorrowful and affectionate farewell. "The news of your resignation, which came to us without warning through the daily) press, filled us all with sorrow and consternation, for we realise that your going is an irreparable loss to the Church in Australia—a r eal tragedy, as it has been justly described by priests and people. "Your qualities of mind and heart, your wide learning and rich culture, fitted you in an eminent degtee for the responsibility and the adornment of the Metropolitan See of Sydney. But, as your vast store of learning and your organising and administrative ability were always at the disposal of the whole Church in Australia, Sydney's tragic loss brings grief and impoverishment Your place, especially t o' us all. in the educational life of this progressive young country. from the primary schools to the University, cannot be adequately No wonder, therefore, filled. that we deplore your resignation. We can only express our regret that before your resignation took effect, we, your -colleagues, who know you best, had no opportunity of trying to alter your decision by expressing, not only our affection for you personally and our unabated confidence in you, but also our appreciation of your unique fitness for the position which you have now voluntarily relinquished. "We fervently hope that God has good things in store for you: that He will use your great gifts perhaps in even a wider and more exalted 'sphere. and that the Church in Australia will always have a place in your affection and in your prayers.

Beaconsfield We had a visit from His Grace the Archbishop last Tuesday morning. He expressed great satisfaction with the improvements that have been made to the grounds. He visited all the class rooms and gave the children his bless. ing. We did not think of asking him for a free day until he had gone. House Party. The house party at Mr. Frank Ar. buthnot's residence on Friday night last was an outstanding success, soThere was a cially and financially. very good attendance and everybody seemed to be enjoying themselves thoroughly. The advent of members of the C.Y.M. and St. Vincent de Paul Societies, though late, swelled the ranks considerably, and also incidentally the funds. Great credit is due to Mr. Frank Arbuthnot for the able way he organised the party and also to his brother and sisters, who assisted him. It was an excellent beginning and is a good augury for future functions of the same nature, of which I am sure A lady whose there will be many. name I am not at liberty to divulge at present, has kindly volunteered to have a house party :it her home in the near future. You will hear all about it in due course. Basket Ball. A great duel was 'ought on the basket ball court on Wednesday last, between the F3eaconsfiehi team and a team from St. Joseph's Convent. The visitors played well, but they were outclassed by the home team. There will be a return ulatch at St. .Ios- ph's Convent next Wednesday. so -4.

Talks on the Mass. Last Sunday evening the children's dramatisation of the steps of the Mass The went through without a hitch. little ones behaved like veterans and faced the sea of faces without a stutter, no mean feat, as one realises, if one imagines the ordeal it would be to you at the same age. The people were obviously impressed, and the object lesson was a good instruction for them, We should like to have seen more present. '6 'Tis the Mass that matters"— yes, but only to those who look upon it as "our sacrifice," in which we are to participate, becoming co-offerers with the priest, praying the Mass with him; in fact, saying the Mass with him. Only three more talks remain, but they are so important that one should make every personal sacrifice to attend On Sunday, July 18, The them. Canon of the Mass will be spoken by The children will the senior pupils. explain the plan, or plot, of the Canon pra) ers, their order, significance, and actual words. How many of our people understand the plan of the Canon? On Sunday, July 25, the steps from the Communion to the .Missa Est will be explained and dramatised. On Sunday, August 1, the Sacred Vessels and Vestments. And after that we are having "an exchange of pulpits" with Nedland. That is the correct phrase, we understand, as used by the rev, gentlemen who "exchange" and receive "calls" periodically. We assure the good people of Nedlands that the "exchange" is only a temporary arrangement for six Sunday evenings, and in this "exchange" there will be no robbery.
Children's Ball. The children's greatest event of the year will take place on Friday, July 30, when their annual plain and fancy dress ball will be held in St. Joseph's Hall. This important function was a great success last year. and with that in mind it is intended to make this ball better than ever. The admission is only a shilling, and a large crowd is expected. Supper arrangements are in the capable hands of a ladies' committee. Dancing will also be available for adults from 10 till 12 o'clock: so it will be a good night's entertainment for all of the parishioners. Don't forget, make it a date: the Children's Ball on July 30. Children of Mary Sodality. Members of above Sodality are reminded ot the house party to be held at the residence of Mrs. Leen, 18 Olivestreet, Subiaco, on Tuesday, July 20. The admission is only sixpence, and it is hoped that every Child of Mary will endeavour to be present, and to bring as many of their friends as possible, for 'the more we are together the merrier we'll be."

The last parochial entertainment was a carnival dance, held in St. Thomas' Reserve-street, and conducted by the Children of Mary. It has been decided to hold a dance fortnightly in the above hall, and the sodalists solicit the loyal support of the parishioners and their many friends. The next dance is to be held on the 30th. inst. It is very gratifying to note that on Sunday evening, 11th. inst., Rev. Father Cahill organised a branch of the Holy Name Society, when over 50 men were installed and 15 additional members were received into the Sacred Heart Sodality, while the Children of Mary Sodality was augmented by the addition of four consecrated members, and their numbers are still to be increased by a consecration to take place on August 15.

While the democratic side of the Catholic party was growing, so was the Flemish spirit growThe strength of ing stronger. racial and language division was felt in Belgium more perhaps than in any European country after the war. It produced a split in the Catholic party. The Flemish movement made rapid development after the war. During the German occupation, the matter was adroitly handled by the invader, and the readiness with which some of the Belgian people showed themselves ready to put racial loyalties above national ones seemed likely to sow discord in the country for a generation. But there was so much to be done after the war that it was found possible to wipe the slate clear of many confused accounts, and the Flemish question was eventually grappled with. It was largely due to the returned Flemish soldiers that it was pushed into the forefront, and those who had hoped to use what happened during the war as an ex. cuse for driving it into the background were forced to change The Flemish soltheir tactics. diers returned from the war with strong grievances, and with They wanted separate c laims. administration for Flanders, and were generally advanced in their These views were not views. acceptable to the Catholic party in which an anti-militarist party, called later the Godsvrede or "God's peace" party began to deThe result was that invelop. stead of being in the forefront of the Flemish movement the Catholic party began to rank as conservative, and in 1923 it rejected the plan to make the University of Ghent completely FlemThis act was chiefly after ish. the event, condemned by a great many Catholics, and it had tht e ffect of giving a great fillip to political policy and favoured the the militant Flemish National Union, which had a progressive political policy and favoured the reorganisation of the state on a corporative basis. Officially this Flemish National Union was based on Christian principles, but its anger with the attitude of the dominant Catholic party made it hostile to the Church, so that in 1925 it came under the ban of the Catholic hierarchy. The Socialist Party.

What IS Kexisrn ? more vocal. It has always had a certain footing in the factory districts and was well organised. At the same time the anti-Communist feeling had been always equally strong. This is attributable largely to the importance of the agricultural population in Belgium and the fact that both economically and politically it is organised on a sounder basis than perhaps in any other European country. Fear of Communism grew, and with it grew also the fear that the other political elements might not prove strong enough against it, but might at an unguarded moment be stampeded by it.

same time, doctrinaire democracy had lost all favour. There never was in Belgium the same reverence for parliamentary institutions that there is in England. The mere fact that extra-parliamentary institutions have always played a considerable part in the national life made the average Belgian little ready to share the Englishman's faith that the sun rises and sets behind the Speaker's chair.

Suddenly the man appeared— quarter, from an unexpecte .- : giving an unexpected turn to Fascist doctrine, but a turn that was well suited to Belgium and its needs and its preferences. The man was Leon Degrelle, a young Walloon of thirty years of age, identified hitherto with militant Catholicism and now uniting it to His reasoning political action. in bringing the new party into being was so logical and so obvious in the circumstances that he won a following at once. He argued in this way: The people are tired of parliamentary debates and political bargaining. They they want things done. have no more delusions about the liberty of the people being capable of expression only through a vote cast every few years. They want active, speedy and determined government. The best substitute for parliamentary government, the one most suited to the spirit of the age is Fascism in some form—but what form? It was in his answer to that question that Degrelle showed genius. Belgium is a Catholic country, he argued. In the elections. the people by the number of votes that have been cast show that they put their Catholic principles above everything else. But the political system is denying expression to these principle's. fo-r
time and energy are given to bargaining between political parties that should be given to national work. If it could express them it would reduce to practise the social teaching of the "Ouadrag-esimo Anno," and would act with the unselfish enthusiasm of those who take part in the works of Catholic Action outside politics. Therefore what is wanted is a kind of Catholic Fascism—a crusade for Christ the King— Christus Rex—let the campaign be called "Rexism." ( Please Turn to Page 22.)

Still in the Game. goals eight Ted Tyson kicked against Swans on Saturday, and though approaching the veteran stage, he played throughout with great dash and judgment. The average football "barracker" is the most exacting individual about the place, so that when Ted failed to bag big as regards goals, in some recent matches, it was noised So everywhere that he was finished. Ted said he was prepared to retire, but wiser counsels prevailed, and at Leederville last week he answered his critics with "a straight eight." Wests will go further, and fare worse, if they have to replace this player. Lou Daily For Goals. For me there is one certainty for the Carnival, and that is Lou Daily, who He will fill the position of full back. was a great player against Souths last week, and has shown again and again that with him none can compare for that particular position. I like him, too, for the big occasion--he will not be overawed by the reputation of the Eastern cracks, for he has rubbed shoulders with them when a player for Collingwood and Geelong, in Victoria. He shows superb judgment in his excursions from the goal-mouth, his marking is sure, and at times brilliant, while his kicking-in is very sel.dom at fault,

Who is there successfully to cope with the dashing Keith Shea, of Victoria? The centre wings are not so great a problem, but still there is nothing to write home about in the talent that is offering. Yes, the centre line is our biggest problem, and who is there who does not know that a team is only as strong as its centre line? I believe with two such good ones as Holdsworth and George Doig, we will be well served in the attack. These are two great players, and I care not about your Regans and Muellers, of Victoria, your Martins and NIattiskes, of South Australia, if you throw in a brilliant aerialist such as Gook, of Perth Club, and a heavyweight of the type of Norman McDiar. mid, and fill up the blanks with players of resource, our attacking division will be in safe hands—and feet. The rovers offering are not up to the standard of previous Carnival combinations, but I believe that such players as Parry and Hooper—two 'tothersiders by the way—Truscott, Keightly, and possibly Rainoldi, will at least pull their weight. The announcement of the team will be made on the night of Saturday, July 24, and in the next issue I will endeavour to forestall the big three— Messrs.

against it. They are holding fifth place, six points behind Young Easts, Old Easts, and Swans. Because so much attaches to the game, I am naming them to defeat Souths at the Port, and if my other tips come true, then I say that NVests will make "The Four." They are at the cross roads, and the Cardinals know it. Therefore be prepared for a great effort from the Leederville lads at the Port on July 17. My nomination for "The Four": The t wo Easts, Swans and Claremont. Val Sparrow—Carnival Umpire. For the forthcoming Carnival there will be neutral umpires, and Val Sparrow has been selected by our League for the South ,Australia v Victoria match. It is a big honour, and a big job, hut I believe Val will deliver the goods. Congratulations on the appointment, Val.
Hockey To Represent the State. Hearty congratulations to two Old Boys of ,C.B.C., Perth, in Tom Lalor and Ted McNamara, who have been selected as members of the W.A. Men's hockey team that will defend the Noall Shield at the Australasian Carnival in Sydney next month. Tom has played for the State, but it is the first time that Ted has gained the honour. "The Record" congratulates them and wishes them a pleasurable t our. W.A. at present holds the Noahl Shield, the emblem of Australian Championship, and provided a fullstrength team goes on tour it should retain it. A hard programme awaits our representatives. They will meet Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia, and New Zealand in eight days! Then there is quite a probability that some Westralians will figure in the Test match against New Zealand. It certainly is a heavy programme. Scotch Defeat Christians. In Al Grade Scotch carried too many guns—or maybe it was bagpipes —for Christians, whom they defeated 5-3. The goal-getters for the winiv'rs were Leo Allnutt (3), Dave Allnutt, and Hugh Baird, while Guth. Ardagh, Tom Lalor and Jos. O'Hara hit them through for Christians. Saints Lose. In a close game, Guildford defeated St, Ildephonsus in the A2 Grade, scoring the odd goal that brought victory. 2--1. A. Hall and Daily scored for the winners, and Kinshella for Saints Two More Defeats. It certainly was a black Saturday for Christians, for in the Reserve Grade, they were defeated by Fremantle, 5-3, with Brian Conroy, who scored all the goals for Christians, playing brilliantly. Then in B1 Grade the Red and Blacks went down to Fremantle, 6--1, a crushing defeat that is hard to understand. Seemingly the Red and Blacks play better when weather conditions are unfavourable—they were perfect last Saturday. TENNIS. From Bad to Worse. Our Australian players, minus their No. 1, Adrian Quist, have not progressed. They were soundly defeated by France, the only ray of consolation being the excellent form of young John Bromwich, who defeated Petra, 6-2, 3-6. 6-3. In the Doubles, which lasted 2i hours, he again showed his quality, and was declared the best on the court. Their next match, due to commence on July 16, will be against the British Davis Cup team, and here, assuming that the games will be played on grass courts, I expect Australia to win. Germany Wins. The final of the European Zone was won by Germany, who will now meet the U.S.A. team, and the winners will then meet the British team for the Cup. America should defeat Germany—though it is no certainty —and go on to take the Cup from Britain. P ATRONISE OUR ADVERTISERS AND HELP YOUR OWN PAPER.

BOXING World's Championship. A t last, it seems settled this time, there is a definite announcement re the World's Heavyweight title. Joe Louis will meet Tommy Farr at New York on August 26. And so comes England's chance of winning the world's heavyweight title, something she has never achieved. I am getting in early and nominating the Brown Bomber to K.O. the challenger, Tommy Farr, from the Welsh coal mines. AMATEUR TRIALS. The finals of the West Australian Amateur Boxing and Wrestling Association's open tournament were held last Friday night, before a crowd- that constituted a record. When the first bout commenced the Unity Stadium was packed to overflowing, while well over 100 people had been unable to gain admittance. There was much speculation as to the merits of J. Penn (10.12) and L. Cope (11.6), and although Penn looked the winner in the opening round, Cope settled the question in decisive manner in the second and third rounds, when he battered his opponent all over the ring, eventually knocking him out in the third round'. B. Owens (10.7) appeared to know more about the game than G. Collins ( 10.8), but the latter was content to let Owens carry the fight to him. He did not hit often, but the weight he put behind his infrequent smashing rights told its tale, and Owens was knocked out.

ALCOCK CUP. Christians Overwhelm Hale School. Playing the best football seen so far in the G.P.S. competition this year, C.B.C. won convincingly from Hale School at the W.A.C.A.

C.B.C.'s three-goal lead at the first change over was reduced by one goal during the second quarter, when Hale School showed their best form. After halftime good team work and particularly brilliant work by C.B.C. backs, especially Moran, Chrisp, and Stack, prevented Hale School from scoring more than a single point in the second half. Final scores: C.B.C., 11 goals 8 behinds; Hale School, 3 goals 4 behinds. Linta (C.B.C.) kicked six goals.

The 1937-38 season will open on Saturday, July 17. It is to be a season of unusual interest and importance, and in these columns readers will find weekly reference to outstanding events. The opening event will be a threemiles' handicap event, which will start from the Mineral Baths, South Perth. Big entries had been received before this page went to press, and a most interesting race is certain. This meeting will be followed on July 31 by a two-miles' team race. The Australian Championships. This State will be worthily represented at the Australian Championships in Brisbane next January. If any of our runners or. field sports performers do w ell, it is hoped that places will be found for them in the Australian teams for the British Empire Games, to be held in Sydney next year. That is something worth striving for. To get the team away a sum of £250 is necessary and it is to be hoped that the energetic committee dealing with the matter will succeed in raising that amount. Unfortunately, the Association is not in a position to draw appreciable "gates,- but something in the nature of a big meeting should be attempted.

A TURN OF FORTUNE'S WHEEL.
The light-heavyweight championship between R. McCaulay (12.7), and J. McGilvray (12.8) was a very disappointing affair. Both men were inclined to hang on in the clinches and on one occasion the referee, Dr. Kenny, stopped the fight and reminded the contestants that they were supposed to be boxing. McCaulay won on points. W. Piper (9.9) was much too good for D. Follett (9.8), and although the latter fought gamely, the referee stoppeci the fight in the third round, to prevent Follett taking further punishment. G. S. Cochrane (9.1) and A. Gosch (9.1 provided a keen bout, but although the latter fought as though he did not know the meaning of the word The doctor coughed grave*, "defeat," Cochrane was the better of "I am sorry to tell you," he said, the two and won comfortably on "that you are suffering from chickenpoints. pox."

Rexism in Being.

0 it was called. Degrelle was an orator, he had the fire that appealed to youth. He showed political sagacity in the way in. which he chose the most vulnerable points of attack in existing political and financial institutions. And when he attacked he did it boldly and with a directness that was breath-taking. The young Catholics, especially of the Walloon districts, were with him at once. So were many of the professional class, who felt that some change had to come,. and come soon. At once he launched his campaign, and his fiery oratory was welcomed in all parts of the country. Nine months after the name of Rexism was first heard an election took place. in May of last year, and out of 202 seats Degrelle won twenty-one. The result surprised everyone, but it angered the men of the old Catholic party, from which many o f the seats were won. Some objected to the new movement because it was too much like a Crusade, and they feared that a Crusade would provoke a counter-movement. Others objected to it still more strongly because they did not like all the points—of the campaign that was being pressed forward, apparently tin der the banner of the cross. But still the movement grew. Then came the propagandist use of the word "Fascism" as a catch-cry. With the Spanish rising against Communism, "Fascism" became the bete noir of the Red press and its pink allies, and an intensive campaign against Rexism started in Belgium and across the French fr9gtler. It had the effOct of 'holdingback the §pread of: the movement, and of making many who had been critical of the old evils still more critical of the new remedy. Before the catch-cry arose, the Rexists had made an important alliance. They had entered into a working agreement with the Flemish• Nationalists on a basis of opposition to Communism. In the agreement there seemed to be

a bargain, by which the Flemish party were promised more than any other party ever promised them, a virtual splitting of the country into two political and administrative sections, Flemish and Walloon. This angered the Catholic party greatly, for it had ever, and many times at the cost of great sacrifices, stood for the complete union of the country. But in answer to this, the Rexists declared that the party was constantly standing for something or other until it had not a leg to stand on, and then gave in They when it was too late. pointed to several 'stages in the progress of the Flemish movement in support of this contention. One effect of Rexism has been a definite split among the Catholics, and the efforts to heal the division have only made it worse. The Catholic party hurriedly reorganised itself into separate sections for Flanders and the Walloon districts and it is hard to say whether the gain or the loss is greater from this drastic change. The old class division had beIt come obnoxious to many. was officially dropped, but many in maintain that it is realily stronger than ever. The Catholic party is put into an extremely difficult position by having to compete with another Catholic movement which is bound to attract many, and at the same time to adhere to a democratic system which its most experienced advisers claim to be the right one for the permanent good of the country.

EXISTS, on the other hand, because of the plan of CommunisM to shout "Fascism- at everything that threatens it, are not able to get the calm consideration for their system that any constructive policy demands. Their social-economic programme is "corporatism," in accordance with the principles of the Papal Encyclicals, and not on the basis of State Absolutism that is inherent in Fascism, national-socialism and Communism. The Flemish Nationalists likewise favours corporatism, but are ready to go further in State control than the Rexists. Though the splitting of the Catholic ranks is greatly to be

deplored, the split is not greater than that in the ranks of the Socialists. Here the • divergence towards or away from Communism is growing wider every day. The older Socialist leaders, such as Vandevelde and De Broucker, are practically Communists; a younger and more construcive element is anti-Marxist. The latter division seemed to be gaining ground for a time, now it is just holding its own. While all these divisions and new orientations are taking place. Van Zeeland with his three-party government, continues to hold office. The by-election of April 11 th., fought between Van Zeeland and Degrelle, was by no means a straight fight, for too many side issues were involved. It was a sweeping victory for the Premier, but it was by no means
Saturday, July 17, 1937. Catholics disappointed many who were conscientious supporters of the new party, and it angered some. What made them particularly bitter was the delight which the message caused to the Socialists and Communists, who had put aside their differences in order to fight the Rexists. Instead, however, of leading the Communists to show any gratitude to the Cardinal for his action, or bringing them to admit that it removed from the Church the charge of favouring a Fascist regime, it produced a painful series of antiCatholic demonstrations by the Communists, which were more blasphemous in character than anything yet displayed in Belgium. On the other hand, the attitude of M. Degrelle and of most of his supporters was admirable, after the first flush of annoyance. M. Degrelle made the following statement in the press: "Hundreds of Rexists have written to us to inquire where we stand now, eight days after the Malines Note. We reply: Rex has, since Monday last, placed itself at the disposal of Malines in order to effect a reconciliation. As far as we are concerned, this task, we promise. w ill be loyally accomplished. We are doing, and shall be doing. w hatever is humanly possible, w ithout cringing, without political capitulation, but also without hate and vindictiveness, and with dignity, to put an end to a conflict which many of us feel deepIv, and which sets their patriotism at variance with their faith.

a death-blow to Rexism. During the election the official Catholic position was in doubt for a time but was then definitely declared. As far hack as last December, the Belgian Bishops in a collective letter had expressed their disapproval of the attempt to set up a totalitarian or dictatorial regime. As, however, Rexism was not mentioned by name, M. Degrelle. in his electioneering campaign, declared that this deagainst his claration was not party. What he said was tantamount to a challenge: "One authority, and one only. can say whether Rex is on the Has Maright road: Malines! Will Malines spoken? No. Had lines speak? No there been the least doubt conus, the Archbishop cerning would have spoken." Tactically, this was a very foolish piece of rhetoric, for the Cardinal Archbishop of Malines could not have ignored it without being charged with being a supporter of Fascism, and so giving another weapon to the enemies of the Church. He therefore made a statement, declaring that the Bishops' letter referred to Rexism, and that they were convinced that Rex constituted a danger for the country and for the Church. Naturally this declaration created a sensation, and it was certainly largely responsible for the magnitude of Van Zeeland's victory. Naturally, too, it greatly

That there has been a Catholic revival in Belgium, and a stiffening of. opposition to Communism, none can deny, but that the Catholic s trength is, owing to division, weakened at a time when it greatly needs unity, is unfortunately true.

"About what were you disputing together ?" He inquired. The Scribes' faces had fallen; much too the disciples were abashed to tell of their failure; but a man's voice arose from the midst of the bystanders. "Master," it said, "I brought you my son, who is possessed by a dumb Spirit; wherever it happens to seize him it throws him down upon the earth, and the child foams at the mouth, grinds his teeth, and so pines away. I have begged your disciples to drive it out, and they were not able; but do you, I beseech you, only look at him, for he is my only child." And pushing his way through the bystanders he flung himself at the Saviour's feet.
The Cure. In a glance Jesus saw all the eager faces surrounding the poor suppliant; saw among them His relentless foes: saw a crowd more 44—curious than compassionate. above all, saw that His own Apostles were still faint-hearted and wavering in their faith. This spectacle wrung from His heavy heart the cry: "Unbelieving- and depraved race that you are, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you?" Then turning to the man who had invoked His help: "Bring your child here." He said. The boy was brought: hardly had he seen Jesus when, seized w ith the frenzy, he was dashed down to the ground. and writhed in foaming delirium. Thereupon the Lord asked the father: "For how long a time has this been going on?" "From his infancy," responded the latter; "and oftentimes the Spirit has thrown him into the fire and into the water in order to destroy him. If ve can do anything, come to our aid—have pity upon us!" "If von can believe," replied Jesus, "everything is possible to him who believes." Disquieted by these words, the man began to fear lest he had shown too little confidence in the Master. awl in his distress the t ears came, as he cried, halfweeping: "Lord. I believe; help Thou my unbelief." The Saviour. noting how the curious folk were pressing around Him, turned toward the little lad lying in agony at His feet "Deaf and dumb Spirit." He said, "I command thee, come from out this child, and never m ore re-enter him." The demon, raising up the poor N-Asessed body, wracked it once more, fiercely, then came forth with a great cry. Like one s tunned the lad fell back to the ground : but no foam about his lips, with no convulsion in his limbs.

Jesus withdrew from Tabor at once, taking the road to Capharnaum, careful that no one along the journey should know of His presence. Nevertheless He continued His instructions to the disciples, telling them: "The Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill Him, and after haying been put to death He shall rise again the third day." "But the Apostles understood nothing of what He told them on this subject; His words seemed, as it were, veiled to them ;" they indeed dreaded to be forewarned of the coming evil, and so followed their Master in sadness, "not venturing to question Him."

TWENTY-FOUR Serial Story

started on my rounds to see the patients whose ailments managed to keep me in bread and butter. I was not a very busy man—what doctor at thirty is?— but I managed, by a little hospital work, to fill up my days with not altogether unremuneratiye professional labour. My evenings were spent in study—and . latterly, indeed, I had been reading very hard. When the day's work was done. and I found myself in my study busily pondering over certain new theories and experiments enlighten the which were to world and make my fortune, I had forgotten the experience of the previous night. At midnight I went to bed, feeling particularly tired and in want of rest. The moment my senses were dulled by slumber, or so it seemed to me, my precious nightmare came again! Again I stood upon the river's bank, again I saw the turbulent waters sucking down that helpless form, again I saw the large dark eyes fixed imploringly upon mine .the white hands piteously extended towards me, and again I heard that voice appealing to me for help. This time the cry was so shrill and wild that I, crying out in answer to it, sprang out in bed.

READING FOR THE HOME ST. viN:ENT DE PAUL,
"UNTO THE LEAST OF MINE."
A LITURGICAL CATECHISM
(By P. T. Findlay, in "The Catholic Fireside.")
Q. What is a collegiate church? A. It is a church served by a body of secular clergy who do not constitute a chapter but are bound to the daily chanting or recitation of the Divine Office in choir.
If I had lived beside a road In ancient Galilee, And One, when evening's last light glowed, Came to my door to me, And said, in humble gentle tone: "Far have I travelled and alone; And night comes drifting from the hills On wing of wind that bites and chills, Wilt take me in to food and bed?" I wonder what I would have said?
Q. What is a conventual c hurch? A. 'A conventual church is one served by a body of regular clergy who are bound to chant or to recite the Office daily in choir. Q. What is a parochial church? A. It is one which serves the needs of a parish and which is presided over by a parish priest or administrator. The needs of a parish may be further supplied by a church which is called a "chapel of ease" or succursal chapel.
Would I have turned away from Him With anger on my face? Or gone inside the lamp to trim? Made snug a corner place? And set a snowy table out And busily have gone about Because His gentle eyes and voice Had made my care-worn heart rejoice? . . . I know I had done each of these To make the Stranger at his ease. But I live now beside a road, Behind a close-shut door; Why should I help to ease the load Of any of God's poor? Why should. I? . . . -Once in Galilee Thou did'st all that and more for Me."
Q. Are some churches granted special titles of honour? A. Yes, some churches are raked to the honour of basilicas.
THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK.
Sunday: It is not impossible that love of God (when true) should emain long hidden as we see by St. Paul. who, at the end of three days, showed that he languished with love and that he longed to work marvels foi God. Monday: Life is a school— neither more nor less. Not more. Therefore, we must not look here for freedom, the gladness. the warmth, the indefinable happiness of home.—Mother Mary Loyola. Tuesday: What do we seek in this world where one can breathe only an air poisoned by so many crimes? I beseech you that you keep your door closed to every creature, and' remain in the speret place of your heart.—St. Pau of the Cross. Eucharist W ednesday: The contains all that is good and beautiful in the Church. Thursday: Let us cast off this fatal tepidity which provokes God to reject us.—St. Bernard. Friday: There is no surer 'or clearer proof of the love of God than adversity —St. Philip Neri. Saturday: Whoever advances h ot in the school of Christ is unworthy of His Mastership.—St. Bernard.
Apostle of Charity.
His Feast Day is on Monday, July 19.
LIFE'S DEVOTION. A s soon as we have understood how pleasing an act of perfect love is to God, and how it augments the value of our actions, we should feel our souls filled with a great and noble desire to make of our whole lives, as it were, an immense act of perfect love, a real life of love and of love alone. Therefore, we must do everything, suffer everything, for the love of God! It is not necessary for us to think of Him every instant or to repeat to Him every minute what we wish to suffer for love. It suffices that we should have once fvrined this resolution, and that xv,e should renew it from time to time. Once this resolution is made, and as we do not destroy its effect by a contrary act -of our will, everything that we do and suffer will really be done and suffered for the love of God. The son who works to support his old father does not constantly think for whom he is working. and yet his whole work in all its details is truly- inspired by the love which he bears his father.
