BY REV. DR.

" -the Divine Praises" "A Catholic," Sydney: Why is mention of the Third Person of the Blessed Trinity left out of the Divine Praises after Benediction? Mention of the Third Person of the Blessed Trinity cannot be said to have been "left out," as if it were done deliberately. When the Divine Praises were compiled there was no question of any thought "not" to include mention of the Holy Spirit. The idea of the Divine Praises was originally to make reparation for the blasphemies of men. In opposition to the curses of men the Church offers praise. Men revile God, and take His Holy Name in vain. So the Church says, "Blessed be God. Blessed be His Holy Name." After God, men vent particular contempt upon Jesus Christ, upon the Catholic doctrine of the Blessed Sacrament, upon Our Lady and the Saints. So these aspects also are made the object of special r everence in a spirit of repar ation. The Third Person of the Blessed Trinity is not a partic ular object of irreverence amon gst m en because they advert little to His existence. If you remember, therefore, the reasons prompting the Divine Praises, you will have the answer to your question. It seems to me to be a very serious omission. That is because you have imagined a kind of positive exclu sion. But such is not the case. As a matter of fact, any devotion to God, or to Jesus Christ, or to Our Lady and the Saints is devotion to the Holy Spirit. In the Divine Nature He is identified with God the Father and God the Son. Ands it is His sanctifying- work that we honour in Our Lady and the Saint s. As Jesus said, 'Philip. he who sees m e sees the Father," so we can say that in all the Divin e Praises one is praising and blessing the Holy Spirit.

Mary's Intercession at Cana

"Sirius," Redfern: I asked you to quote one instance in Scripture where the Virgi n Mary intercedes between man and Jesus Christ as sufficient ground for the recognition of intercessory power. Correct. You quoted the only text possible that would seem to lend support to your case, where Mary interceded with Christ at the wedding feast of Cana. T hat is the one case where the Virgin Mary is explicitly mentioned. But it is not the only text possible in support of the intercessory power of Mary. There are dozens of texts guaranteeing the intercessory power of the Saints, and indeed of any human being- in the grace and f riendship of Christ. Every text in the New Testament show ing the identity of the faithful with Christ in His mystical body the Church proves the intercessory

power of every member of Christ. And since the Mother of Christ is the greatest of the Saints and most nearly related to Christ, all such texts prove her intercessory power with Him. But let us take your difficulty in regard to the particular text I quoted.

RUMBLEms, Lady Mother of Mine." And it is evident that He betrayed a smiling acquiescence as He said the words, so that Mary knew her request was granted.

ders? You were wrong in linking your reference to principles of Scripture interpretation with the doctrine of the Sacrament _ of Holy Orders. As a preparation for the reception of that Sacrament in the Catholic Church, however, candidates must make firstly, a Profession of Faith precribed by Pope Pius IV., and then take the Oath against Modernism prescribed by Pope Pius X. In the Profession of Faith, the candidates promises that, where there is the unanimous consent of the Fathers concerning the interpretation of particular passages of Scripture, he will maintain that interpretation and not adopt or teach contrary doctrines. But. as I have pointed out to you before, there are many passages of Scripture concerning the interpretation of which file unanimous consent of the Fathers does not exist. In such cases one must fall back on other rules of interpretation. and I can assure you they are many. It is not true to say, therefore, that candidates for ordination must promise to interpret Holy Scripture only by the unanimous consent of the Fathers.

St. Augustine's Attitude. For the interpretation of this particular text I refer you to Did Christ Rebuke Her? St. Augustine's "Treatise on An intercession loses all its charm Faith," chap. iv., v. 9. for me when it is priced so high I have looked up that passage, as to meet with the rebuke, and it contained nothing opposed "Woman, what have I to do to the explanation I have just with thee?" given you. And I might add Firstly, that is not the correct that St. Augustine is the last one translation of What Jesus said. y ou should quote when endeavAccording to the Greek text He ouring to deny the intercessory really replied. "Woman, what is power of the Virgin Mary. Lisit to Me and to thee?" And ten to these words , taken from there is no trace of a rebuke in his sermon on the Feast of the His words. He was speaking in Assumption of AIary. This serAramaic, and the word for which mon is numbered 208, and is list"woman" is the English equivaed in the Appendix of vol.

Nor would Christ, the as follows: "Therefore, dearest model of every virtue, address breth ren, let us commit ourselves His mother save with the great' with whole-hearted devotion to the intercession of the Blessed Virgin; let us all fervently implore her protection so that, whilst we offer her our continual homage and supplications on earth, she may deign to remember us in heaven by her constant prayer.

Some parts of the article For inI do not agree with. stance, your definition of Capitalism, which you outline as follows: "Capitalism simply means that economic system based upon private ownership and operation of the means of production." My economic studies makes me define a capitalist (or capitalists) "as a person (or persons) existing in our social system, who invests money in industry, etc., for an interest or dividend return," or in other words, "withdraws money (or wealth) from the community, without returning an equitable value in labour (or wealth) to the community." Industry itself is in no way capitalistic; it is the money invested in industry for an interest or dividend return that is capitalistic. If an industry is operating entirely without the assistance of private money, the money earned in such industry goes to, All money (1) rent, (2) wages contains three parts. namely,

RENTAL VALUES.

EURIPIDES, Sir,—Good luck to you for your article on Euripides! Even a Puritan can appreciate good literature! ! Possibly because I owe .more than most non-Catholics to French Roman Catholic teachers, I appreciate Euripides as much as you do. But one thins that has always puzzled me is this: Though by no means an irreligious man, Euripides seems to have had not much belief in the objective value of religious rites. Can you explain this? In this he stands in marked contrast to Xenephon. Of course, I have heard Euripides described as the "Pagan Protestant," but to me anyhow that seems a contradiction in terms.

Sir,—At the recent election for Mayor of Kalgoorlie, when Mr. R. S. Moore was elected, defeating three opponents, the question of rental values was replied to candidates Three at length. stated they favoured a Fair Rents Bill, with 12i. per cent, maximum net return on the investment.

But when we come to Chaucer, we know that we are "communing with a man of flesh and blood, a real man, a man who, despite his quaintness of costume and his unfamiliar manner of speech, in essentials belongs to the twentieth century as much as to the fourteenth." Surely this is one explanation of our ever-abiding interest in the "Canterbury Tales." The four orders that Chaucer refers to in the next section of the "Prologue" were the Dominicans. the Franciscans, the Carmelites and the Augustinians. 4444 00

They were introduced into England in the thirteenth _century, and became very numerous.

Because of their missionary work amongst the people. they were given special facilities and powers of dispensation from the Pope. The Friar of the "Prologue" was certainly not typical of the members of the Mendicant Orders—he was, in fact, a disgrace to the Church. But that some friars were lax is undoubted. because we find references to such men in the contemporary literature of the period.

Owing to the great efforts of Henry II., the study of English law was well advanced in the fourteenth century, and we find reference to this fact when we are introduced to the Man of Law. He was a barrister of special attainments, he was a "Sergeant of the Lawe." This title, similar in meaning to our modern "King's Counsel," signified that he was one of the class of eminent barristers summoned to a higher rank by the King. At the Assizes (the system of Assizes was even then an important part of English Law procedure), this Man of Law had often been an Acting-justice. And, as the practice obtained in England from the time of William the Conqueror of recording all lawsuits and decisions, Chaucer's clever lawyer, we are not sur-

Orihis ed to ginally the guilds consisted of merchants combined together for the protection of their trading rights; but later, as the various industries developed, the craftsmen began to form guilds of their own. After serving an apprenticeship of seven years, candidates were admitted to the guild after examination of their skill had been made by the alderman. In the light of the fact that recent Popes have advocated a return to the mediaeval guild system as a remedy for the social evils of our own day, the following extract from Tickner's "Social and Industrial History of England" may not be out of place: "The guilds controlled the hours of work, the quality of the material used, the workmanship put into the articles, the price of the finished article, and the conditions under which the apprentices served and lived. The idea of brotherhood was kept well to the front. There was money from the guild chest for the nld

and the sick, there was help for the widows and orphans, and funeral expenses for members. Those who fell on evil times were helped to start afresh; losses from fire were replaced; if a man fell ill in the middle of his work, he could rely on his brother guildsmen to help him." Decline of Guild Fraternity. Each guild was distinguished by its own special hood and gown, but this led to abuses. In there the fourteenth century gradually arose class difference in the guilds. The liveries were very expensive, and as they were only worn on great occasions, the poorer guildsmen did not purchase them. But the livery of a guild had to be worn on formal occasions—including those when business was transacted—and thus important positions in the guild and profitable business transactions were denied to a big Thus was formed an section. oligarchy which tended to exclude apprentices seeking admittance as master -craftsmen.

DOUGLAS JERROLD. They That Take the Sword. Douglas Bodley Head. This new book, by Douglas Jerrold, is at once an analysis and an indict. ment of the forces which are leading the world to the brink of war. The author sees no adequate guarantee for the maintainance of peace either in the preservation or the amendment of He begins by the Versailles Treaty. analysing the nature of the present world crisis, which in his judgment antidates the Great War by nearly a century. It is a crisis, not of govFor this ernments, but of peoples. reason it is wholly different in character to the much more local crisis ot The failure to deal with the 1914. new crisis is due to the fact that just as the War Office is busy preparing for the last war, so the Foreign Office is busy preparing to avert the last war. Hence its reliance on the League of Nations, an effective organisation for the crises of governments, but futile for dealing with the crises of peoples.

This is a study of mediaeval culture How far is in its religious aspects. mediaeval culture the product of religious forces? Is it the faithful expression of Catholic icleals,or were these ideals mutilated and disfigured by the social form in which they found expression? These are the questions which Mr. Dawson's book sets itself to answer, and in order to do so he distinguishes between the sociological and theological elements in the mediaeval culture-process and studies their mutual interactions. The book opens with an essay on the sociological foundations on which the mediaeval religious development was based, and this is followed by a sketch of the religious development itself as seen in mediaeval theology and mediaeval mysticism. The third essay deals with the history of mediaeval thought, above all with the great intellectual crisis which followed the opening of Western Europe to Arabic thought and the re-discovery of Hellenic science.

Father Alexander's work will bring home to the average Catholic that he has not only a glorious tradition, but also a glorious present. In an interesting and readable way, Father Alexander depicts the Catholic writers and poets of the last hundred years. He shows them as they really are, not merely a small group of intellectuals, but as a force in the Western world. He shows how they are taking an ever-increasing part in the intellectual life of the world, and slowly but surely fitting it to steer itself out of the sea of materialism into which three centuries of faithlessness have guided it Collating his matter with extreme care, Father Alexander has made more of his book than a mere study or survey. It is also a challenge to the Catholic, whose Faith has come to him without travail, to be up and doing, as his convert brethren have been and are doing. For indeed, the work of converts forms an inordinately large portion of Catholic literature of the period. Any survey of a literary period is an interesting document. The men and women who write are not superhuman creatures, but very human beings. Father Alexander, not content with skimming the surface, seeks the explanations of the writings of his subjects, tries to lay bare their daiiy doings, even their intimate thoughts, their joys and sorrowc, their ideals and shortcomings. He has succeeded so well in this volume that it must be regarded as pne of the most readable of literary surveys.

This crisis has its origin in the collapse of European civilisation, a civilisation which requires a foundation of Christian belief and economic liberty. The author then proceeds to examineon detail, in the light ui our modern knowledge of the nature and his. tory of civilisation, the essential quality of Western European civilisation, and shows how the liberal experiment has disintegrated that civilisation, turned its faith into scepticism and buried the liberties and beliefs of its peoptes under mountains of paper. He then turns to the rival solutions offered to us to-day, collective security on the one hand, and the new Fascist ideology on the other, and finds both equally unlikely to make an effective contribution to the cause of He offers a new and more peace. practical solution based on a league of civilised peoples, pledged to maintain the essential liberties, economic, poli. tical, and religious. t.

FRIEDRICH VON HUGEL, 1852-1925. Baron Friedrich Von Hugel. A Study of His Life and Thought. B y Maurice Nedoncelle. Published by Long. man's. When Baron von Hugel died in 1925 the world lost one of the most profound and influential thinkers of the century. Though von Hugel was a convinced Catholic, yet his influence extended far beyond his own communion. However, the depth and subtlety of his thought and the complexity of his style, served to unduly limit his audience. It is quite possible that von Hugel's mind and teaching are better understood through his interpreters than through an actual study of his writings. Here is much the best monograph on the Baron's thought which has yet appeared. It is a free translation from the original French, revised by the author. The original work was crowned by the Academie des Sciences Morales et Politiques, and was awarded the Prix Victor Delboz.

CHRISTOPHER DAWSON. His work on "Mediaeval Religion" is completed by a study of the great religious poet, William Langland, author of "Piers Plowman." The remainder of the book is de. \ oted to mediaeval literature, and shows in a very striking way how that literature reflects the different aspects of the mediaeval soul. It shows the existence of a purely secular and non-religious element in mediaeval culture, which was, however, assimilated by the Catholic tradition in unexpected form. It shows how the literature of chivalry and the literature of devotion mutually affected one another, how the mystics inherited the tradition of the troubadour, and how the "sweet new style" of the Tuscan poets combined with the forms of Provencal love poetry with the ideas of oriental philosophy. The book is completed by a study of Langland, which shows this great English religious poet voiced the needs and aspirations of the oppressed and the disinherited in the age of social unrest and economic distress which followed the Black Death and the Great War with France.

Praises Cathedral Choir Hears Own Mass Arrangement Sung. In compliment to Sir Richard Terry, the eminent English musician and composer, and late musical director of Westminster Cathedral, who is at present in this State examining for the Trinity College of Music, St. Mary's Cathedral Choir rendered at the 11 o'clock Mass on Sunday a Mass by Van Bree, which has been arranged, abridged and revised for four mixed voices by Sir Richard. The Mass was originally written for three male voices. Sir Richard was present in the choir gallery, and after Mass complimented the choir on their fine effort, which he had greatly appreciated. Sir Richard has, since relinquishing his directorship of the Westminster Cathedral choir, been actively engaged in research, seeking to discover and reproduce the older and more liturgical music to replace the monumental works of the master composers of the 18th. century. Sir Richard, who will he in this State until the end of the month, was generous with his praise of the high musical standard in the Catholic schools. On to-morrow Sir Richard will pay visit to New Norcia. Mrs. P. B. Healy, of 104 Mount's Bay Road, Perth, left last week for Hong Kong, where she will spend eight or nine weeks' holiday.

Rev. Father Ryan, °ALI., was the celebrant of the Mass, assisted by Very Rev. Father Ahearne, 0.M.I., and Rev. Father Jas. Weldon, 0.M.I., Deacon and Sub-Deacon, respectively. His Grace was assisted by Right Rev. Monsignor Fagan, V.G., and Very Rev. Father O'Neill, and Rev. Father A. Johnston acted as Master of Ceremonies. The Priests' Choir rendered the music of the Mass, and at the close His Grace the Archbishop performed the absolution at the catafalque, after which His Grace addressed the congregation. His Grace's Sympathy. His Grace reminded all that they had assembled that morning to assist at Holy Mass, offered up for the repose of the soul of Father Ryan's mother, whose death was announced to him by cable on the previous Friday. Whilst they offered their collective prayers for the repose of her soul, at the same time they tendered to Father Ryan their sincere condolences in his hour of great grief. The sorrow occasioned by the death of a mother, continued His Grace, was proportionate to the bond of love that existed between mother and son—the greatest of earthly loves. Had Father Ryan been privileged to be with her during her last hours, the weight of grief would have been considerably lightened. But that was not the will of God. Rather was it God's will that mother and son, who bade each other farewell some eleven years ago. should never meet again on this side of the grave. She had now joined that noble band of valiant Trish mothers who had unreservedly

and generously given their children to the service of God in ñelds— foreign missionary priests and nuns whose bones were destined to lit scattered in every corner of the globe. Yes, only a mother's heart knew of the terrible wrench caused by the departure of a son or daughter called by the Master to serve Him away from the land of their birth. The sacrifice was great, but the reward would be in proportion to the sacrifice demanded and willingly made. Their sympathy went out that morning to FUher Ryan, and to his friends and relatives in the old land. "May God have mercy on the departed soul, and may those who are left to mourn her loss be granted strength and courage to bear the heavy burden of grief and sorrow. Amen." Among the priests present were: Right Rev. Monsignor Fagan, V.G., Very Rey. Father (assistants at the throne), Very Rev. Dr. Kennedy, Adm.. Rev. Dr. O'Gorman, Rev. Father Laws, C.SS.R.. Rev.

"A Catholic Paper in Every Catholic Home" Carnarvon. July 20.

The Manager, "Record," Perth:

Dear Sir,—I am attaching a list of new subscribers for Last Sunday was Press Sunday, and we "The, Record." had a parochial drive towards introducing "The Record" in St. Mary's Parthe hands of every Catholic in the parish. ish is only a very small one, and so the number is not so large. Then, too, a few people from this parish are already subscribers, so it is not an initial introduction that is being sought, but rather an extension of the Catholic Press in St. Mary's. The slogan we used for Press Sunday was "A Catholic Paper in every Catholic home." The bulk of the parishioners, or perhaps better, the majority of the homes of the parish, are now in possession of your valuable journal. I am hoping that the result of the present drive will serve to encourage others who may yet be outside the pale in this regard. Ihave decided to set one Sunday in every year aside as Press Sunday, when the usual endeavour to increase subscribers to the Catholic weekly will be made. I trust you will commence mailing the orders immediatelv.—Yours faithfully, REV. FATHER McK AY. T:IgrijiThr

Lotteries' Donations

The Children of Mary held their

usual meeting last Sunday in the Convent. It was pleasing to note an improvement in attendance. It was decided to hold a Retreat later in the year. In the meantime, an effort will be made to have all the young girls of the parish enrolled in the Sodality.

We are pleased to see another old

- Goldfields identity, in the person of Mr. and Mrs. Martin Hartigan and family, who have taken up their abode in a commodious house in the Avenue,

overlooking the Swan. The annual Ball will take place on

Wednesday evening in St. Theresa's Hall at 8 o'clock. D'Arcy's orchestra will provide the music ,and there will be a sit-down supper. The decoration committee will be busy over the weekend making the hall as bright and

cheerful a setting as the occasion warrants. The Nedlands Ball is noted far and wide for its fine organisation, its social aspect, and its unforgettable supper. The committee anticipates a record attendance on Wednesday night. •

Our Lady of Mt. Carmel ----A Large crowd attendeu at the

Lartnenve Monastery, Nedlands, on Friday, 16th. inst., when His Grace the Archbishop celebrated High Mass at 8.30 a.m., and presided at Pontifical Benediction in the afternoon. The occasion was the Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, Rev. Dr. McMahon preached the occasional sermon. Dr. McMahon's Sermon. "Behold a little cloud rose out of the sea like a man's foot," says thg Book of Kings, as out of the West there came across the blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea a herald of rain in answer to the prayers of Elias. And even unto this ,our far West, the cloud of Cannel has come to let fall its fertilising dew to bring life to our dried-up souls, hardened by the sun of pleasure, and barren of spiritual fruit. The Sisters came to this Carmel under a cloud of misunderstanding and suspicion. Of old there were many who looked upon the life of the Brethren of the Blessed Mary of Mt. Cannel with misgivings. Petitions were addressed to the Pope to disband this unusual community and to close Mt. Carmel. They asked then why should they - spend such an idle life just praying. Some of our own people have said the same thing about this Carmel. Why don't they teach the young. or nurse the sick, or care for the orphan and foundling? Why can't they do something? is their charge. For answer, let us go to that home at Bethania. While Martha was busily engaged preparing and serving the meal, he:sister Mary went and sat down at the feet of Jesus listening to His words. When Martha saw that Mary left all the care of the house to her, she came to Jesus and requested Him to speak to her sister, that she might help her. But Jesus told Martha not to trouble herself about many things—one thing was necessary. and. as Mary had chosen the better path, He would not disturb her. May the aroma of prayer. and the incense of self-sacrifice which a scends daily from this Carmel. this holy Mount of God, purify the worldly atmosphere which surrounds you and me. And may the Sisters here be ever f aithful to the noble traditions and high ideals of their glorious past.

South Australian CarniYalians,

Sharpshooters' Lean Period, Last Saturday the leading goalgetters had a lean time. Ted Holdsworth, who had kicked 101 goals in fourteen games, kicked one only; George Doig, three; Tyson, six; and Hopkins, 5. However, Holdsworth has passed the century mark, barring accident Doig will do so, and it appears very probable that Hopkins and Tyson will pass the three-figure mark. If so, a new Australian record will be established—four players in one season of a League competition to kick a century a-piece. A Brilliant "Saussie." Ken Farmer, who has played in this State for South Australia on previous occasions, has been selected for the forthcoming Carnival. He is captain of North Adelaide Club, for whom he is in his ninth season. Up to the close of last season he had kicked 875 goals—over a hundred per season. This is a wonderful performance. It was his objective at the beginning ot this season to reach the 1,000 mark, but he is not scoring so prolifically as in previous seasons, and at present seems unlikely to achieve his aim. He is very clever at the goal-front, though his success in State games has not been outstanding. ALCOOK 'OUP MATCHES. The Public Schools' Competition will be resumed on next Wednesday, July 28.

The World of Sport Cycling

WITH THE GALLOPERS.

T he Racing Game

The committee controlling Ossie Nicholson's attempt to lower the world's 12 months' record of 45,383i miles, show that the Australian had covered 5339.5 miles during the month of June, at a daily average of 178.65 miles—a new record for a continuous ride during one month. At this point Nicholson had maintained his lead of upwards of 1.300 miles over the French rider, Reni Menzies. Nicholson entered upon the present month with recordings of 181 and 155 miles, and notwithstanding the record cold weather prevailing in Victoria, he will continue to indulge in night riding in order to build up such a mileage as will allow for a contemplated drop when the notorious winds of July are encountered. Ossie Nicholson seems certain to set up new figures, and thus will bring further kudos to himself and the great machine he is riding—the famous 'Malvrn Star" cycle.

That the up in it was not demanded until autumn in this instance was because Jesus had been absent from Judea for some six months; or it ma" be that, since -He had been r egarded hitherto, as by rank. a Doctor, He was considered exempt from this charge laid upon the people. But now the Apostle, sore pressed for an answer by the collectors, assured them that the tax should be paid; yet, almost immediately, he realised that he had been somewhat rash in pledging his Master's word in this offhand manner, and his embarrassment was very evident as he followed Him "into the house." Jesus did not wait for Peter to unburden his mind. "Simon," He said to him, "how does this appear to your mind? Of whom do the kings of the Of their earth exact tribute? foreigners?" of or children, own "Of foreigners," was Peter's reply"Then the children are free," responded Jesus.

The Return to Capharnaum Jesus Praises the Innocence of the Young done rightly. "Do not forbid him," Jesus replied; "for there is no one who, after he has worked a miracle in My Name, can at once speak ill of Me thereafter; he who is not against you is for you." Then He reverted to His first thought, to the young child still nestling in His arms—to those little ones "whose Angels forever behold the face of His Father Who is in Heaven." "If any one," He said, "shall scandalise one of these children, who believe in Me. it were better for him that a millstone should be hung about his neck and that he be plunged in the depths of the sea. 'Woe to the world because of its scandals! It must needs be that scandals come, but woe to the man by whom the scandal comes!" Jesuz commends the innocence of little children to His Apostles, describing Himself as of their nature, and cornmonding that they be entertained, even as Himself, even as God, His Father.
