He tells us that this is effected by "the power of the Holy Ghost working in the heart of the faithful receiver." But what do the faithful receive? Merely bread, as a symbol of Christ's body? That can't give "contact" with Christ's body. And whilst "the power of the Holy Ghost working in the heart" suggests contact with the Holy Ghost, that also suggests no contact with Christ's body.

"
the difficult question of the validity of Anglican orders. After a period ot doubt he renounced Anglicanism, fled to Ireland, and went thence to Douai in France to study for the priesthood. From here he went to Rome to join the Jesuits, who were now the shock troops of the counter Reformation. An absorbing chapter deals with his sojourn among the brethren in Central Europe, and the adventures of the Jesuit system. The new learning was met with greater learning; discipline and esprit de corps carried the Faith into regions where heresy and moral collapse was rampant. The schools of the Order r evolutionised educational system. It was into this world of intellectual turmoil that the English scholar lived the greater part of his life as a Jesuit. However, when it was found necessary to send missionaries to England, he was the first to be chosen. The story of his adventures in England shows a very unhappy state of affairs. The rapacity of ruling classes and a countryside crawling with private spies, made Catholicism a living martyrdom, and Campion's ministry stands out as one of the few noble deeds of Elizabeth's reign. The story of the betrayal and trial of Father Campion is strongly reminiscent of the trial of his Master under somewhat similar circumstances. In England this book was a sensation for its literary merit; and for us it shows the splendour of a noble life in a very grimy reign. —V. P.) ( 6ontinued on Page 10.)

A.M.A. Action. In his answer to the action of the American Medical Association, which has approved recognition of birth-control measures, the Rev. Ignatius W. Cox, S.J., of Fordham University, points to a truth that is exceedingly unwelcome to the advocates of artificial contraception. Father Cox showed that the philosophy which underlies birth-control propaganda is precisely the same philosophy that propagates contempt for human life in the social as well as the medical field. The action of the American Medical Association, he observed, "is closely connected with a long denial of a truly living wage and of social justice in our present economic order." Nor can the "honeyed and humanitarian phraseology" of the birth-control propagandists furnish an escape from the inexorable connection of their supposed social remedy with a policy of class distinction and class exploitation. No birthcontrol advocate, not even the inventive Margaret Sanger herself, has yet succeeded in advancing any clear refutation of the charge that birth control breeds depopu lation, not to speak of divorce and broken homes. The assumptions upon which denials of the social charges against birth control are founded are so far unproven. Father Cox does well in demanding that Catholic forces, medical and social alike, rally to expose and utterly repudiate the destructive social philosophy of which the assembled physicians have let themselves become victims.

ESS than a year ago I read John Gunther's "Inside Europe." This book —on international its affairs—now in eleventh edition, is still much talked about, and, I suppose, selling well.

HUMAN PERSONALITY. Ignored by Modern Industrialism A Grave Indictment. Nature does nothing in vain. and the Creator would not have bestowed such admirable gifts as intellect and free will on man if he were not expected to use them and to give account of them. It follows that the possessor of these faculties should have suitable opportunity for the exercise This is a justification of them. for the existence of the institu tion we know as private property. External goods are to be used as a means of contributing to man's perfection: and for this reason the institution of private property, not merely in the sense of things possessed by single persons or private groups but in the sense of means of affording individuals suitable opportunity of self-expression. should he the foundation of a normal economic 'ystem in society. As befits his rational nature there should be opportunity to man to find some joy in his work. This is not possible when there is no occasion to use his mind and his will, and where his work is degrading and mechanical. If he is compelled by necessity to be a tool or an instrument his nature rebels against the indignity. He regards it as a slavery, to be condemned to the performance of a single operation in a factory over long periods of time, and to find no opportunity of self-expression. no occasion to satisfy the instinct of the artist that is native to man, in the work by which he gains a livelihood. Defects to be Remedied. It is the gravamen of the indictment against modern industrialism, machine industry, and mass production that they fail to have regard for the dignity of human personality and the worth of the individualism in the workman. They regard him more as a thing. a "hand." than a person. He is spoken of and thought of as a unit of physical force rather than as being possessed of mind and will, and his labour is regarded as a commodity. a good for As a consequence of insale. vention and the general use of machinery we have in the existing system a small and diminishing number of high-graded t echnicians, others who are mere assistants or caretakers, and an e ver-increasing army of the disoccupied and the unemployable.

C ATHOLIC El7TIDENCE GUILD.
AUSTRALIAN FOUNDER OF STUDY GROUPS,
Friends of the Evidence Guild, Sydney, x'ill be glad to know that Mr. Peter Gallagher. LL.B., made his first appearance, since his prolonged illness, on the Darlinghurst platform at Taylorsquare, recently. Within a few minutes the adjoining Communist platform was deserted.
To Attend N.Z. Catholic Centenary. All interested in Catholic work among youths will be glad to learn that Mr. F. K. Maher, founder of the Campion Society in Melbourne, has accepted the invitation of His Lordship Bishhop Liston, of Auckland, to attend the New Zealand Centenary. The invitation was extended by
THE MOST URGENT NEED OF THE DAY. The most urgent need of the present day is: The energetic and timely application of remedies Which will effectively ward off the catastrophe that daily grows more threatening. W e firmly hope: That the fanaticism with which the Sons of Darkness, work by day and night, at their materialistic and atheistic propaganda Will stimulate the Sons of Light to greater zeal for the Divine Majesty. ( From the Encyclical on Atheistic Communism of Pope Phis XI.)
4,,,,,v4=actrom: .1"; It will be recalled that some months. ago Mr. Gallagher gave an interesting lecture at the Chesterton Club on the present prospects of Catholicism throughout the world. THE SMALL MAN. The widespread distribution of property in France, land among the peasants and industry among -small men," is the political reason for the stability of that country. It has survived all the postwar shocks and despite the anarchy of to-day promises still to come out sound as the traditional champion of Catholic order. In the recent re-shuffle of the Popular Front Government. the Minister of National Economy, M. Spinasse. was dropped. The usual explanation given was that he had put through the 40-hour week. This explanation was untrue, first because the 40-hour week was the most widely liked measure of the Blum Government, and secondly because M. Spinasse was bitterly opposed to it. No, M. Spinasse was dropped because he was working on a plan for the re-organisation ana nationalisation of French industry. Most of French industry small workshops consists of where the "patron" employs from one to four persons. They were going to be brought together under a number of combines for greater division of labour, joint buying of raw materials and joint marketing. Unfortunately for M. Spinasse, the "patrons" got to hear of it. Enough of them belonged to the Radical Socialist Party to ensure that the Radical deputies had a warm time from their constituencies. and there was nothing for it but to drop the apostle of Rationalisation. The "small man" should be more active in this country.
Tq.
ment owes its inspiration largely to Mr. Maher. It is an intellectual movement of the first importance. Mr. Maher is a young lawyer, possessed of many gifts, which he has freely placed at the service of the Church. For six years he has directed and encouraged the formation of study groups. wherein Catholic young men are assisted to a better understanding of the Church's social and economic doctrine. Mr. Maher will be accompanied by a journalistic co-worker, who conducts a magazine in the interests of the movement. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Brother Conlon, a past Superior of C.B.C., Perth, and a great friend of the Bishop's, to introduce His Lordship. Bro.

The Church and War. FranzisSheed kus Stratmann, O.P. and Ward. One more war book out of Germany, but it ts not just "another war book." Rightly regarded, it is a sequel to the others. Whatever feelings we may have as to the artistic perfection or moral qualities of the spate of war books, beginning with, "All Quiet on the Western Front," it is at least certain that these books raised the question Of war as a moral issue in the popular mind as nothing else, not even the war itself, managed to - raise it. But, since the authors were chroniclers, and not moralists, though they raised the moral issue, they did not settle it, or Father even try to settle it. Stratmann here faces it squarely, and his conclusions are very strong, fearless and devoid of bias. Though a German, he condemns German practice in the war. and, though a Catholic, he considers that the Crusades did not fulfill the conditions of a just war. The Decline of Merry England. Cassel. S torm Jameson. In this essay Miss Jameson purposes to show how the Puritan Revolution of 1640-1660 was not the spontaneous uprising of a people exasperated by religious and political persecution, but an attack on governmental authority organised for selfish ends by Though its the middle classes. ostensible reasons were political and relikious, its true interest was economic. The war was caused by the clash of two ideas. On the one hand there was the older theory of the Government in the persons of the King, the Council and the Church. believing in the harmony of the various classes in the State. and attempting, by personal interference, to regulate all their commerce. On the other, there was the new theory of man as an individual. claiming as his final court of appeal, not the King, but his own conscience. The younger theory won and, in doing so, beat out of England that generosity of life which had typified the youthful passionate England of the last two decades. Further, In' its destruction of the Church, Puritanism removed the one obstacle to its material gratification, and by repression of the lower classes, laid the seeds of the fight between Capital and Labour, of which we see the open flower these days. Finally, it is shown how Puritanism, though professing to fight in their cause. was actually the enemy of religion and liberty, and has -destroyed them in order to set up its great deity, material success.

Newly Ordained "Old Boy." Sunday, August 1, marked another milestone in the history of the Christian Brothers' College, when a former student, Rev. J. O'Mahony, was raised to the highest dignity man can attain, the sacred Priesthood of Christ. Father 'O'Mahony came to C.I3.C, in 1925, where he gained high honours in his scholastic studies. Here he prov. ed himself a student of great character and won the admiration and respect of the Brothers and the boys. In 1930 having decided to take up the priestly career, he went to Corpus Christi Seminary, Victoria. to pursue there also he proved his studies. himself a capable student, and after seven years hard training, he reaped the fruits of his labours, when he was ordained in St. Joseph's Church, Subiaco, by His Grace Most Rev, Dr. Prendiville, On Friday, August 6, the newly ordained priest visited the College, and said Mass at nine o'clock, in the presence of the Brothers and the senior students. Here for the first time, in side the hallowed walls of his Alm: Mater, where his vocation was carefully fostered by the Brothers, Father O'Mahony offered to Almighty God his Lord and Master, that same Sacrifice of Christ on the Cross that was offered more than two thousand years ago on the summit of Calvary.

DISTRICT BOARD. The fortnightly meeting was held on the 10th. inst. Reports from St. Joseph's Branch, Northam, showed continued progress. The Board will visit St. Patrick's Branch on Wednesday next, 18th. inst., on which occasion His Grace the Archbishop will be initiated as a member of the Society. It will visit St. Anthony's Branch, Midland Junction, on Monday, 30th. inst., St. Canice's Branch, Cottesloe, on Wednesday, September 1, and Cathedral Women's Branch, on Thursday, September 9. ANNUAL RETREATS. The annual Retreat for men will take place at the Redemptorist Monastery, commencing on Saturday, September 4, and concluding after early breakfast on Monday, 6th. September. The Retreat for women will be held at the Sacred Heart Convent, Highgate Hill, commencing on Saturday, 11th. prox., at 3 p.m., and concluding after early breakfast on Monday, the 13th. prox. Members are urged to participate and hand in their names to their respective branch secretaries as early as possible. St. Kevin's Branch. Thursday, 5th, inst., was the quarterly meting of the above branch, and although it was fairly well attended there is still room for improvement in that respect. Bro. Stokes presided. and during the discussion of the general business he commented on the very impressive ceremony of the ordination which most of us were privileged to see at our own church last Sunday week, and at which he represented our branch. Unfortunately the finals of our own table tennis tour. nament were not played because of the absence of most of our members. However, we hope to bring this matter to a conclusion in the near future, Members are asked to note that the next meeting will be a very important one, since we have been promised an exhibition of correct badminton play by some of the State's best exponents of that sport. This exhibition is to take place after the meeting, and to give the players plenty of time we are commencing at 7.30 p.m. instead of S p.m. Our Lady Help of Christians Branch, East Victoria Park. The president. Bro. Finnegan. presided over a sixty per cent. attendance of members at our meeting on August 3. We were all pleased to see Bro. Carney back to health and strength, but were sorry to hear that Sr. Dot 0'.Meagher was indfsposed. It is very gratifying to note that we have now passed the half century mark in membership, and that our baby branch, which is only ten months old. is thriving. This is due in no small degree to the efforts of our worthy chaplain, Rev. Father O'Connor, who is ever willing and anxious to help the society. Since our previous meeting our branch teams have visited South Perth and Nlaylands Branches for competitions. After the games and supper an enjoyable hour was spent dancing to the strains of music supplied by our new member, Sr. Kathleen Kavanagh. This branch is very fortunate in haying at its disposal in the Camberwell-street Ball, one of the hest dancing floors in the metropolitan area All and sundry are invited to come along to the parish dances every Wednseday evening and try it for themselves.

Menace to British Commonwealth
Father, Woodlock, S.J. on Parenthood and Birth-Control HE future historian will doubtless point to the present age as one in which a fundamental sociological change took place in Europe and America in that a new view of the nature and purpose of marriage began to be widely, almost generally adopted. It was an age in which the idea that marriage existed primarily for pleasure, not parenthood—for recreative rather \‘'omen bethan creative ends. gan to take it for granted that in becoming wives they were not necessarily undertaking to become mothers in due course, at least among the educated and professional classes a family of t wo or three children was no longer the normal sequel to marriage. Only a few years ago there were over a million married couples in England with no children and over 24 millions with only He had not the figone child. ures for to-day but had no reason to think they were more satisfactory. The Ethical Side.
vir
Father Woodlock said that the ethical and moral question was "The child is to-day ignored. the biological explanation of the whole complex, natural phenomenon of love between the sexes, and from the thought of the child the true nature of marriage is learned. It is from the needs and nature of childhood that the fundamental laws governing the marriage relationship are known •eyen apart from supernatural revelation. And natural laws have a divine sanction: it is by the will of the Creator, the Author of nature, that marriage exists for motherhood. The child is not a mere by-product. still less an undesirable waste-product of the -creative partnership of man and woman which was instituted by God for the continued existence o f mankind on earth." The lecturer believed that the modern rejection of parenthood was the greatest threat to the survival of Christian civilisation which it had hitherto encountered. not excepting the destructive power of war. Depopulation of the Empire. The British Empire was being doomed by that racial suicide which had carried the decay and death of Greece and the Roman and Byzantine Empires. They (lied by voluntary sterilisation and the British Empire. was moving- steadily, and, he believed, inevitably, to the same goal. There was no escape from the verdict reached by expert students of the problem the fertility of the British people which had fallen by 60 per cent. in sixty years, had already entered upon its final period of slow but sure suicide through birth control. Unless some notable change of c ustom and the rejection of the new marriage ideology takes place, the population of England a hundred years hence vill ne only about half the present population of London, and the decline in the white population of the Dominions will have proceeded .at a similar rate.

Due to all our energies and thoughts being centred on the children's ball last week, we have not a lot to record of our doings, but things are not as dead as that. Everything is going tine now, and competition is getting quite keen.
Children's Fancy Dress Ball, Another step was taken towards the above annual function, when a card evening, in aid of the ball funds, was held at the Presbytery on Wednesday, August 4. This proved the most successful of these functions up to date this year, and rightly so. A similar e vening will be held on Wednesday, August 18. On Wednesday last no less than six ladies tied for the first prize. After a cut-off" Mrs. Sheen secured the trophy. Amongst the gents, there were four finalists, and after a double playoff, Mr Williams won the "Champagne. The rummy prize went to Mr. Rawlings. Of course, the ladies, as usual, provided a sumptuous supper, with Mrs. M. Ennis at the coffee-pot.
We had a social in the Kindergarten in aid of the Australia Stall last Monday night, and it was a fine success, due to the activities of Mrs. Atkins and her band of willing helpers. Everybody enjoyed themselves, non-dancers as well as dancers; but there was room for more in the hall, so the next time this popular function comes off, be there for a real jolly evening's fun. That was last week, but here's good news for all those who were at the wonderful Rose Carnival, and those who are since regretting they missed Miss R.

AL. SMITH MEETS DE VALERA.
A guild of Catholic writers has been formed in London, and the Most Rey. Arthur Hinsley, Afchbishop of Winchester, in a statement to the Catholic papers, has named a committee. Archbishop Hinsley recalled that in a recent joint pastoral letter the Hierarchy of England and Wales made an appeal for the greater support of the Catholic press. and expressed a desire for the formation of a guild of Catholic writers under the patronage of St. Francis de Sales.

Our popular girl aspirants and their respective committees are certainly leaving no stone unturned to make the competition a big success, but we see room for improvement in the efforts of the parishioners to do so. While the entertainments in general are being fairly well patronised, and while we rejoice to see so many faces new or strange to us, the faces of those who come from "afar off,". we nevertheless notice that a number of "our own" have so far failed to honour us with their presence, It hurts, you know-"and in front of the strangers, too! •• Let's hope that the defaulters will very soon realise that we have a debt to liquidate and that as members of the parish they have a duty to perform, namely, to help to pay it off, and that that realisation will bring them along to our entertainments. We can assure them that there is an enjoyable evening awaiting them, no matter what function they decided to patronise. And all for a trifle! For a mere 6d. you can have a rollicking night's fun, that would do anybody's heart good-for is,, why- you can have a veritable "night out!" So be you shy or indifferent, trot along—we'll fix you up! Or perhaps you are too worried to be bothered--well, "pack up your troubles in your old kit bag"—bring them along to us, we'll dispose of them for you! Last week's programme was designed to satisfy the most exacting and varied tastes of the seeker aiter pleasure. On Thursday, at the residence of Mrs. Sanders, a goodly gathering enjoyed the many attractions attendant upon a house party, and as usuai fortunes were lost and wbn. The proceeds were in aid of Miss Mona Cork hill. On Friday evening Miss Betty Battley's committee conducted a very successful euchre party in the Cathedral Hall- big prizes, big supper and a big crowd, well handled by our capable Mr. be Fitzgerald. made the night an enjoyable one for all. On Saturday evening, in spite of very inclement weather, there was a nice little gathering at the school for the usual bridge and rummy evening, conducted by the committee supporting Miss Phyllis Tanner--we understand that from Saturday, 14th. inst, onwards provisions have been made to combine a euchre party with the bridge and minim-. Good cash prizes are being offered and admission remains at the modest sum of Is. So all ye merry euchre fiends, here is what you have been waiting for so long— a Saturday evening euchre party offering good prizes and good supper, and all for Is... Every Saturday evening from August 14 onwards. On Monday evening. Miss O'Connor organised a house party at the school, in aid of Miss Mona Corkhill, at which the many popular games provided were thoroughly enjoyed. We were disappointed at the number attending—we e xpected more—but there again we can only hope that those who have so far failed to support us will soon decide for themselves that they have a duty to do so, Tuesday evening found us again sing. ing to our heart's content at Miss Betty Battley's community concert. All the popular numbers were rendered with great gusto, interspersed with items from the soloists. Mr. Hardwick was there again, and as usual gave of his best. His many witty sallies were much appreciated and his rendering of "The Dear Little Shamrock" got the unstinted applause it deserved. Father O'Reilly was with us again, and in splendid voice. His numbers were deeply appreciated. Followed by Miss Kath. Dunne, whom we have seldom heard to such advantage, and whose performance was loudly applauded and deserved it. As usual the school chil dren contributed their portion to the evening's entertainment in the form of a tap-dancing exhibition—we thank them very sincerely for their valuable assistance. And now for next week's programme: Monday evening: Miss M,-,na Cork. hill's "Back to Childhood Ball," at Cathedral Hall. Tuesday evening: Miss Betty Battley's community concert, at St. Francis Xavier's School. Wednesday evening: Our usual euchre party at the school.

HOLLAND. The New Ministry. The new Dutch Cabinet has after long delay, been selected: the portfolios of Justice. Social A ffairs and Colonies were given to four Catholics, Goseling. Rom me. Steenberghe and Welter ; three members of the Antirevolutionary Party (Dr. Colvn. van Dvk and De Wilde) are in charge of Foreign Affairs, Defence and Finance: two Historical-Christians (van Boeyert. Slotemaker) are Ministers of the Interior and Education; and one non-Party man (van Buuren) is Minister of Waterworks. The country will thus be governed by the three Christian Parties whose programmes are based on the principles of the Christian State Two of the Catholic Ministers take office for the second time ( Steenberg-he and Wetter); Mr. Goseling is the leader of the Catholic Party-, to whom the party owes its new programme and new orientation.

God the Supreme Reality. 26. Above all other reality there exists one supreme Being: God. the omnipotent Creator of all things, the all-wise and just Judge of all men. This supreme reality. God, is the absolute condemnation of the impudent falsehoods of Communism. In truth, it is not because men believe in God that He exists; rather because He exists do all men whose eyes are not deliberately closed to the truth believe in Him and pray to Him.

Christianity as Opposed to Communism Doctrine of The Church be true were man to live alone. But on final analysis, even in this latter function, society is made for man, that he may recognise this reflection of God's perfection, and refer it in praise and adoration to the Creator. Only man, the human person, and not society in any form, is endowed with reason and a morally free will.
30. Man cannot be exempted from his divinely-imposed obligations towards civil society, and the representatives of authority have the right to coerce him when he refuses without reason to do his duty. Society, on the other hand, cannot defraud man of his God-granted rights, the most important of which We have indicated above.

P ATRONISE
Social Hierarchy and State Prerogatives. 33. In view of this organised common effort towards peaceful living, Catholic doctrine vindicates to the State the dignity and authority of a vigilant and proNident defender of those divine and human rights on which the Sacred and the Scriptures Fathers of the Church insist so often. It is not true that all have equal rights in civil society. It is not true that there exists no lawful social hierarchy. Let-it suffice to refer to the Encyclicals of Leo XIII. already cited, especially to that on "State power," and to the other on the "Christian Constitution of States." In these documents the Catholic- vill find the principles of reason and the Faith clearly explained, and these principles will enable him to defend himself against the errors and perils of a Communistic conception of the State. The enslavement of man despoiled of his rights, the denial of the transcendental origin of the State and its authority, the horrible abuse of public power in the service of a collectivistic terrorism, are the very contrary of all that corresponds with natural ethics and the will of the Creator. Both man
and civil society derive their origin from the Creator, Who has mutually ordained them one to Hence neither can the other. be exempted from their correlative obligations, nor deny or dimThe inish each other's rights. Creator Himself has regulated this mutual relationship in its fundamental lines, and it is by an unjust usurpation that Communism arrogates to itself the right to enforce, in place of the divine law based on the immutable principles of truth and charity, a par,tisan political programme which derives from the arbitrary humen will and is replete with hate.

The WORLD of SPORT (By "Recorder.")
Football Western Australia, 25.15; South Australia, 6.13. Someone has written, "Every picture tells a story"—and it may be said every match score tells a story. Take They tell a the scores given above. true story—a story of general superiority. The figures are an excellent criterion of the respective merits of the teams that supplied the first match of the 9th. Australian Carnival at Subiaco on Saturday. The visitors were like the man who fell out of the cart-not in it. They were heralded as the greatest side put afield by South Australia, This, of course, called for the grain of salt, for those who remembered Bert Renfrey's boys of 1911, when they defeated Victoria 11 to 5-4, and WA. 13.18 to 3.5, could not believe it pos. sible. It was pure press-puff that put Derrnody and Co. on a higher standYet we ard than Renfrey and Co. fell for it to the extent that we expected to see a "Saussie" combination well above the average. Reali• That was our anticipation. sation was a wake-up. Heavy rain caused the abandonment of the official opening and the parade, but although a blinding shower swept the ground abouf an hour before play it could not deter the hardy spirits who had resolved to see the match or die. Their determination deserved a greater reward. The attendance was roughly 23,000, most of whom paid 107 admission, hut there were many there by favour of the Australian Council, which, by the way, has full control of these matches and matters connected therewith. There was a very solid wind blowing when Max Tetley won the toss, and presented the advantage to his team. they made every post a winner and had five goals posted before South Australia goaied. Now that goal against the wind was a mighty good effort. and I, for one, thought it forecasted something to come for \V A. when the change over came with the scores 8.3 to 1.1. The Westerners had not scored above their quota, and there was no writing on the wall to tell of what was to come. In fact thus early the visitors had unfolded some excellent play. A new ball was provided at each •kliange.over, and thus equipped, all sat up to take notice what the Southerners would do, now they were ad-vantaged by the wind. But—alas and alack! The South Australians faded right out of the picture. They were knocked from pillar to post by the resolute, forceful, but very fair dealing. Westerners, ad instead of making up leeway, they slipped further back— practically out of sight. The scoring for the term was 6.4 to 2.3 in favour of Westralia! Certainly the wind had dropped quite appreciably, hut in every position and every phase of play, the home team wag miles ahead of their opponents, Only a super-optimist would have given the South AusThey tralians a hope at half-time. -were not of the "go-get-it" type and when W.A.--or Victoria—meet a side minus that sine qua non of a good team, it will give it a bad time. But why dwell further on a oneThe rout was complete, horse race. In the third quarter W.A. scored 7.2 to 0,2, and quite a few of the locals took on the roles of "Teddy Bears" in the last quarter, and yet the scoring was 4.6 to 3.7 in favour of the lads of the Golden West. The final scores were 25,15 to 6.13. It was a Black Saturday for South Australia, as never before had W.A. so heavily defeated them, but they have had some severe drubbings from Victoria, who in the Carnival of 1927 Then in Augkicked 21.19 to 14.12. ust, 1934, Victoria kicked 30.19 to 14.10 —a winning margin of 105 points. As -W.A. won by 116 points, it stands as -the very worst defeat that South Australia has ever received. Best Players. I am with a big majority and the State selectors, whose job it was to pick the best for W.A., in naming Jack Hooper as the top-notcher for the win. He was in great form and ners. handled the ball probably more than He flashed into any other player. the picture very early and was never Pout of 4t, right to the final bell.
George Doig, who kicked like the champion he is, was next, in my opinion. He played very unselfishly, otherwise his bag of goals would have been much greater. Jack Reeves, who made his debut as a State player, was one of the best afield. Whether on the ball or "resting" he was always of great service, There were no weak links on the winning side. Hats off to a lone-hand artist in "Bull" Reval, of South .Australia. He was a big player throughout and would have been a champion among the winners. His was a solo effort worthy of a better cause. He had few who were his helpers. The rover, Jack Quinn, played very well and was doing a good job until a knock impaired his usefulness. Jack Cockburn was Nood in plrtF. and so were Jack "Dribbler" Dermody, IALters and Hawke—but the "passengers" were in the majority, and there must have been quite a few who barely got a touch. . The South Australians were penalised occasionally for doubtful passes— the flick pass—hut on the whole did not offend unduly. The Umpire.

Victoria. w rote this before the Wednesday match, but I am assuming that Vic. toria will defeat South Australia, and so it comes about that to-day's match. Victoria v, Western Australia, is the deciding match of the Carnival, and it cannot come to case of averages, as it nearly did in 1921. Can W.A. repeat its victory over Victoria in 1921? ,The Victorians professed themselves as being greatly impressed by the form and play of our men against South Australia, and if W.A. can reproduce that form it should be, a great game. Victoria has lost only two Carnival games and will fight to the last ditch Let them to keep that great record. say what they will about Victoria not bothering about any results but club premiership games—don't believe it. They will be flat out to beat our men as decisively as they are able. I am not going to make a forecast, as the South Australia-Victoria game is the only guide one can have, and at time of writing that game had not been played. Records.

One of the best bouts seen for some when the West time was witnessed Boxing and Australian Amateur Wrestling Association continued their open championships at the Unity Stadium last Friday night.

A solid looking customer in D. Wilson (14.5) was too good for W. RattiAfter a quiet opening gan (13,3). round, Wilson felled his opponent with a powerful right to the jaw early in the second round, and Rattigan went down for the full count. B.

When Will Record-Brealdng Osage A comparison of running records show that since 1914 the 100 Yards has been reduced from 9.6 to 94: the 220 yards from 21 2 -to 20.3; the 440 yards from 47.7secs. to 46.2sec.; the half. mile from 1min, 52.2sec. to lmin. 49) sec.; and the mile from 4tnin. 14.4sec to 4min. 6.8sec. The reductions are attributed to keener competition, improved tracks and scientific training. It must he remembered that the popularity of athletics all over the world has increased immensely in recent years, and modern runners are forced to give the last ounce, whereas the greatest runners before the war frequently were not fully extended. E xperts agree that a world-wide adoption of Numi's even-pact theory has achieved conquest of the middle and long-distance events, terminating in a cluster of records. New sprint records are possible because no one is able to achieve fullspeed from a standing start, and it is estimated that no one can attain top speed under 70 yards. A lmost anything is possible in field e vents. For example, sine 1914 the high jump has increased from Mt. 'aim to 6ft. 9 1-Sin.: the broad jump from 24ft. 111in. to 26ft.

WORLD-W IDE campaign against the godless was launched at Poznan, Poland, on Friday, June 25, at the opening of the First International Congress of Christ the King. "Regnum Christi" organisations are to be formed in different countries with the special object of combating atheistic Communism and neo-paganism, and establishing the principles of the K ingship of Christ in the public life of the nations. Once every two years, alternating with the International Eucharistic Congress, the Catholics of the world will unite in an International Congress of Christ the King. Thus it is hoped that the Papal Enycheals, "Quas PriInas" (which proclaimed the Feast of the Kingship of Christ) and the "Divini Redetnptoris" (denouncing atheistic Communism) will be put into practical etTect throughout the Catholic world.

A LITURGICAL CATECHISM
Sunday, August 15: Feast of the Double of first Assumption. White. 2, class with octave. Thirteenth Sunday after Pentecost. Creed. Preface B.V.M.
Q. Of what various parts does a church consist? A. As the High Altar is the central feature of the church, the most important part of a church is the space enclosing,the altar and reaching to the Communion rail, to which the name of the Sanctuary is given. Within the sanctuary in front of the altar (or sometimes behind it) are arranged the stalls or benches for the clergy. The portion of the sanctuary reserved for this purpose is called the Choir (or presbyterium). The back portion of the sanctuary generally ends in a semi-circular or polygonal recess, arched or dome-roofed, to which is given the name of the Apse. From the choir or Communion rail to the principal door the Nave extends and parallel to and divided by pillars from the nave are the Aisles or lateral naves. Sometimes another nave runs between the choir (or Communion rail) and the central nave across the church forming the arms of a Latin cross. The tw, arms of the cross are called Trail septs.

Q. What is the origin of the word "nave"? A. Nave comes from the Latin navis, meaning a ship. Tht churches in the 4th. century had generally- the form of a ship. the door representing the poop anti the apse the prow. The temWe of the Christians symbolised th• society of the faithful. That society figured by the Ark of No;di and the. Barque of Peter is likened to a ship that voyagrs through the waters of this world to the shores of eternity.

TWENTY-SEVEN
(By FATHER OW EN DUDLEY.)
Ten years have gone for her. Ten years of slow disillusionment. She was finding it difficult to b elieve those honeymoon days had ever been; doubting whether he had ever really loved her for herself: whether he loved her now at all. It was not her fault; before God it was not. There was nothing .she had not done for him. There was nothing she would not do for him now-. She loved him still—in spite of his growing indifference, his selfishness. She couldn't blind herself to his selfishness, his unreasonable impatience with e verything she did. She could sense instinctively the cause of that impatience—her inability to attract him as she used to. She couldn't help that; she w ished she could. A woman couldn't remain in her twenties. She had taken to making up. She had succeeded in merely emphasising that she was growing older. He had failed to hide the cynical smile when first he noticed. He had qualities. She insisted to herself that he had. It was true they were negative qualities; he never really lost his temper with het, he didn't drink, he was careful with money, he was— He was faithful to her. It was her one solid consol.ation—he was faithful to her. Ten years more have gone for her—and with them everything. She had dreaded the coming of middle age, every year lessening her hold upon him and increasing her own fear —the fear she persuaded herself was mere jealousy. At first she had refused those ugly doubts, thrust them away wildly as they grew. He would never lie to her. He He was telling her couldn't. the truth about those week-ends. Mk was loyal to her, for all his utter coldness. . . . It had all come out one hideous night. She had known it for a certainty, as a woman knows these things—instinctively from his manner. " Well, supposing I admit it?" had heen his cool reply.
She had stared at him. "A man must have his plea sures Anyway, we can end this farce. It couldn't go on." His callousness had been cruel Sh had steadied herself to ask: " Did I make it a farce?" "I'm not inclined to argue the m atter." He had assumed. she would get a divorce. " Never. You are my busband. I shall not." She had reminded him of the c hildren. He had told her brutally he never wanted them. He had left her. The nightmare that had pl:gued her, the dread of some y ounger woman. . . . It had happened. He had left her. That is a picture, not overdrawn, of a fairly common occur-
rence. Of the adulterous us band who deserts his middle-aged wife for a younger and more attractive woman. Are your sympathie-, with the husband or the wife? In case you have any doubts, here is the marriage promise that, of his own free will, he makes: "I take thee to my wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health to love and to cherish, till death us do part, according to God's holy ordinance; and thereto I plight thee my troth." O f all sins a man can commit against his wife, the breakage of that sacred vow, in' adultery and desertion, is the greatest. Against God, Who entrusted him with that woman, the sin is even greater.

NO. 2,864. HOW MANY MURDERED? M R. ARTHUR Bryant, writing in the "Observer" last month, made a remarkable statement on the present position in Spain: "Red Spain is not a constitutional democracy. It is an - inferno. Since July, 1936, some 350,000 non-combatant men, women and children, living helplessly in that corner of the Iberian peninsula subject to the rule of what is euphemistically called the Valencia Government. have been butchered in cold blood under conditions of indescribable horror." Is that figure an exaggerated The British Government, one? the French Government, the American Government, and others Red with representatives in Spain, know approximately what the actual figure is. They should publish the reports of their representatives on the murdering that has gone on behind the Red lines. Confidential estimates have recently been revealed in America, giving the numbers murdered in Madrid as 50,000, in Barcelona as 60,000, in Valencia as 30,000. Mr. Bryant's total may be a conservative one, for sonic observers say that half a million have been slaughtered. These killings are not acts of war or formal executions. They are callous assassinations, night or by day, with the object o f exterminating Spaniards who believe in God or who have `bourgeois' sympathies. Nobody The need feel surprise at this. Anti-God gospel, the gospel of hate, the gospel of class-war, the gospel against private property— all of them preached even now in respectable British circles—have the same results in Russia, Hungary, or Spain. The longer the war continues the more will be killed, until Franco may experience grave difficulties in victory because one half of Spain will have a majority of demoralised revolutionaries.

BISHOP REAFFIRMS XLSPENSION OF IRISH PRIEST. Father M. O'Flanagan's Claim Denied.
T
HE claims made that Father Michael O'Flanagan, lecturing in America in the interests of the Spanish Leftists, is not a suspended priest, have once more been definitely refuted in a cablegram from his Ordinary, the Most Rev. Edmund Doorley, Bighop of Elphin, Ireland. Bishop Doorley's message, sent in reply to a cabled inquiry of the Rev. Eugene P. CI-vile, associate director of the Providence Diocesan Bureau of Social Service, said : "I repeat, Father O'Flanagan was suspended in 1925 by 111V predecessor. Suspension not withdrawn. Bishop of Elphin." False Statement. Previously, Father O'Flanagan had sent a teiegram to sponsors 'bf a lecture he was to deliver on June 15, saying that. . while he was suspended in 1925, the suspension was "removed in 1927 by the Ordinary." The Bishop's positive statement that the suspension was not xvithdrawn refutes this assertion Father Cryne, upon hearing that the lecture was to be given,
