BY REV. DR.

RUMBLEms, "1he Good Christian" Is there any reason why a person should not be a good Christian, and at the same time, a Communist? It appears to me that they go hand in hand. I would advise you to write down on paper your definition ol Then, in a a good Christian. parallel column write down your If definition of a Communist. they still seem to agree, look over your definitions again, and ask yourself whether you are satisfied with them. Or, if you wish, send them in to me, and I will check them up for you. In advance I can but assure you that a good Christian can no more be a Communist than a rose can be a radish. "Cable-Crammers." You have spoken of the daily "press" as "twisting" the truth regarding some matters to do with the Roman Catholic Church or its members. I have complained that the cable services upon which our papers rely have sent false reports as true; and that even where the truth of some events has been sent, further truth of other aspects throwing a totally different light on the subject has not been le.cal Moreover. despatched. editing has again and again been based upon at least unconscious bias, either religious or political.

You see I not only maintain that the "Capitalistic Press" misrepresents issues on Catholicism. It will misrepresent almost anything should the expediency of the moment require it. And so will any newspaper published by any parties or systems in which the prudence of this world only is accepted as a standard. The materialistic outlook, whether of Capitalism or Communism, has little in common with any ideas I f moral obligation.

Dangers of the Confessional W. Anderson, Hornsby: When I feel like listening to clever twisting and humour, I turn on to your hour, and I am never disappointed. It is a consolation at least to know that you are never disappointed in my session, from whatever aspect vou regard it. In June you dealt with a letter on the immoral effects of the confessional upon priests, or something to that effect. You seem a little vague as to the subject matter dealt with, but you were still less able to follow the explanations I gave, as we shall see. You said that doctors have to hear much more than priests and could be more immoral. I said nothing resembling that No sensible person could conclude from what I said that "doctors could be more immoral" than priests. I appealed to the common sense of the average man by stating that the confessional is a much more strictly safeguarded place than a doctor's surgery; and that revelations of sins against God's law to a priest are not to be compared with the frank and detailed revelations which have to be made to members of the medical profession. Then I pointed out the hypocrisy of those who accept the integrity of the medical profession. yet who, with far less justification for doing so. level wholesale immorality aginst c harges of priests in the exercise of their spiritual duties in the confessionTo construe that as an asal. sertion that doctors can be far more immoral than priests is absurd.

If not, and they can be men of honour all integrity thoroughly deserving c.f the trust and confidence of It1i r patients, will you say why priests are not entitled to a similal trust and confidence? If y(. 11 have no other argument save that the, are not married, your cv,e fal!s to the ground. • • Images—and the Bible.

Your own letter does not offer much encouragement in the idea that people by reading and thinking for themselves will arrive at the truth. I could write very much more. I do not doubt that. A Lesson in Sympathy. But, as you told two correspondents whose letters must have been too good even for a clever twister like you. you will probably tell me that I will get my answer in eternity.

You will certainly have all your problems answered here. But I have given you a few replies in advance. The two correspondents to whom I did not make such a gracious concession w ished me to air their views on political questions outside the scope of this session. Your letter at least concerns religion. ant I have answered it in the hope that my replies will help you to take saner views on the subject. and to adopt a more wholesome and charitable outlook on your fellow human beings. Other listeners will benefit by the realisation that the human mind is capable of greater aberrations than they thought possible. and that they cannot have too great a sympathy for the victims of such mental disorders.

To another correspondent who said your Church broke the commandment, "Thou shalt not make graven images." you said that images in your Church are not images. I pointed out that, far from forbidding the making of images. the Bible commands the making of images. But it forbids the Suicides Denied Christian Burial making of images for purposes F.

Germany's Second Apostle REVIEWS St. Peter Canisius. James Brodrick, S.J. Sheed and Ward. During the early years of what has come to be known as the Counter-Reformation. St. Peter Canisius was the acknowledged leader and inspirer of the Catholic forces. Three great Popes, the Emperor Ferdinand I., Duke Albert V. of Bavaria, Cardinal Hosius .and many other eminent men depended on him for advice and regarded him with both reverence and affection. He was in the thick of all the raging controversies of his age; established the Jesii:ts in Germany and ruled them for fourteen years; founded five colleges, whose influence was paramount in the restoration of Catholicism in •Germany. Aus-

PETER CANISIUS. Ha, and Bohemia; travelled Eu-

Nvidely used by the English Catholics in the times of persecution; tackled the r edoubtable "Centuriators" of Madgeburg in two huge folios; composed or edited a multitude ( )f devotional or liturgical books; )i-eached thousands of sermons throughout Germany ; and engaged in an almost world-wide correspondence that it has taken eight enormous volumes to hold. ['his external side of his activities, grandly heroic though it w as, is only part of the story - vhich Father Brodrick has to unfold. The Germans have long since placed St. Peter Canisius beside St. Boniface as their second apostle. Not. perhaps, what might be called a "charming" saint, Peter is yet proved in this book by chapter and verse to have been a wonderfully lovable man. His asceticism was all for himself and he was the gentlest and most considerate cl rulers. There is an enormous amount of his Society's imifsr history in this book, and it makes reading at once vivacious and strangely moving. While throwing out tentacles in all directions, to Rome and its activities. to the Council of Trent. to the home and foreign politics of German Emperors and 'Princes. in one case even to the Battle of Lepanto, Father Brodrick yet keeps Canisius firmly in the centre of the picture. All aspects of sixteenth century life come under raview : its mad national antagonisms, its crazy superstition. its reigious chaos, its little green oyes of exquisite piety ; but throughout St. Peter tanisins walks terrible in humility and strong as death in his love for God and man.—A.

Garbled Keports of Polish Dispute

W

HEN Marshal Pilsudski died in 1936, it was the unanimous desire of the nation that he should be buried in the Wawel, Cracow's historic cathedral, where all Poland's kings and heroes are interred. The coffin was temporarily laid to rest in St. Leonard's crypt and a National Committee was at once formed to arrange for and superintend the eventual transfer of the coffin to a final last resting-place in the Wiezna Stebrnych Dzwonow or Tower of the Silver Bells, another part of the Cathedral.

King Carol's Visit NOT Cause of Archbishop's Action that he had previously requested the National Committee to carry the transfer, but to no purpose, despite a lengthy correspondence and a resolution agreeing to this.

Archbishop's Explanation. Mgr. Sapieha, the Prince-Archbishop, issued a statement defending his action. He states

The transfer, Mgr. Sapieha said, has been effected with all due reverence and in the presence of the Cathedral Chapter and a delegate from the National Committee. The transfer was, moreover, necessitated by the dampness of St. Leonard's crypt and the Tow-

FIRST-CLASS sensation occurred throughout Poland as a result of the Archbishop of Cracow's sudden decision to transfer the remains of Poland's national hero, Marshal Pilsudski, to another part of Cracow Cathedral. This incident, seemingly minor at first sight, resulted in a raging press campaign, nation-wide protests by all sections of Polish life attacks on a Warsaw Catholic paper. and an offer of resignation (which was refused) by the Premier, General Skladkowski, to President Mosciki! The secular Press exphited the c olourful story to the utmost, the Archbishop's action being attributed directly to King Carol of Rumania's visit to pay his respect to the mortal remains of Poland's great leader. King Carol is, of course, head of the Rumanian Orthodox Church and a schismatic. . Moreover, his private life has been suggested as a reason for the Archbishop's action. But, contrary to the reports in the Press, there is no confirmation of this, and in the light of other events it would appear to be a very minor factor, if indeed a factor at all. An interesting sidelight is also provided by the fact that Cardinal K akowski. Archbishop Gall and Bishop Gawlina were on the official reception committee organised to welcome King Carol to Poland.

The Committee also declared that the crypt was not damp, being under careful supervision, and that no delegate of the Committee was present at the transfer, Dr. Kaliczynski not being a delegate. Dr. Kaliczynski confirmed this in a separate statement and added that the transfer had beegn effected against his advice. To Nationalise the Cathedral? It is known that I'resident Moscicki officially requested the Archbishop not to carry out his intention. Colonel Koc. leader of the National Unity Party, the Premier and Marshal RydzSmigly all protested against Mgr. Sapieha's action and the Senate - vas summoned to discuss a resolution to nationalise the Wztwel. Large-scale ex-Servicemen's demonstrations occurred in Warsaw and elsewhere, meetings were held demanding a revision uf the Concordat, and the Archbishop's palace was stoned and the windows broken, the depth of feeling aroused being comprehensible only to those who know Podevotion land and the deep throughout the nation to the old leader.

Catholic Sympathies. On the other hand, many representative Catholic groups expressed their sympathy for the Archbishop, who is very ill. and condemned the campaign against him. Prayers were offered up in all churches for his restoration to health. The gravity of the incident is shown by the fact that the Papal Nuncio, Mgr. Cortesi. was at once called into consultation by the Government. The Polish Charge d'Affaires at the Vati can also raised the question f orthwith. Mgr.

he has left all his share of the family wealth to certain charities. Only Fred's faith and trust in God can account for the fact that in his present pitiable condition he is nevertheless happy, can indeed call himself very happy. His almost invariable cheerfulness is regarded by many as a great wonder. Only the grace of God can explain the ever-ready smile of one who has lain on his back for fourteen months, motionless, with the monotonous hum of a motor dinning constantly in his ears, day in day out. On one occasion—and it only goes to prove his heroic mettle the more forcibly—a momentary depression got the better of him, as he confessed to his devoted mother: "I feel as though I just couldn't stand the machine another minute." So far as I know, it is the only instance of his expressing such a sentiment, entirely pardon. able as it is. Yet he has continued to "stand it" for months and months since, and what is more, has continued to smile through it all. His Alma Matet

may well glory in this alumnus, for none of its famous athletic stars ever showed greater moral stamina or a more manly courage. A Silent Apostolate. It is no exaggeration to say that young Frederick Snite has not only given testimony to the Faith that is in him but has, despite his enforced inactivity, proved something of an apostle as well. As Francis of Assisi preached by merely walking through the streets as an object lesson in religion, so the thought of Fred Snite, recurring constantly- to the minds of thousands in America and elsewhere, has been the occasion of much fervent prayer, reflection and soulsearching. . Unwittingly, he has brought home to many a keener realisation of the need of something more than wealth for genuine happiness, of the uncertainty of human prospects however bright they may seem, of the vanity of much that the world holds dear.

C.B.C. Activities

The Shadow on the Earth. If God has thus far thought best to let nature take its course and has not deigned to interfere directly despite so much earnest pleading on the part of many, it is only in order to operate a still greater good than that requested. One thing is clear, to me as any rate: the illness of young Fred Snite was no mere chance occurrence. Against that possibility militate: First, the presentiment expressed by Frederick Suite. senr.. some time before the event that a heavy cross was soon to he laid on his shoulder: Second. the fact that Mr. Dillon, Fred's constant companion throughout the cruise, was not similarly stricken; one was taken, the. other left; Last, the fact of Fred's falling ill in Peiping. the only place in the Far East where a respirator was to be found. Why then must innocence suffer? Philosophy has no answer; but Christian Faith, pointing to the Cross, answers with another question very like the original: " Why did Innocence suffer? It is enough for the disciple that he be as his Master." From our myopic viewpoint, the case of Frederick Snite may seem incomprehensible. "He is worthy that Thou shouldst do* this for him." But God knows best :and. a hundred years from now, as we look hack, we shall all a gree that God knew hest. For the present. at all events, we "haven't the right to question."

Gregorian Chant is to hold pride of place and congregational singing of the Common of the Mass be encouraged. Polyphonic music, especially of the Roman School headed by Palestrina, is to be cultivated where possible and is very suitable in Cathedrals and large churches. Modern music may be sung, providing it meets the requirements of the law, which are that it be grave in character, both in the vocal and organ parts; that is be in no way theatrical or savouring of the profane; that its length does not keep the priest waiting—nor that large sections should be confided to soloists—and that it should have continuity and no On these grounds all works of Mozrepetitions of the text. art, Haydn, Schubert, Gounod, Beethoven etc. are forbidden. Perosi's Masses could be considered as the boundary line. Father Turner's Masses could be considered as tolerable, although parts such as the Aguns Dei of St. Cecilia are not very much in keeping with the spirit of the "Motu Proprio." Bordese's Masses are among the "abuses" against which Pope The Proper of the Mass Pius XI.'s legislation fulminates. Two questions on this submay for no reason be left out. ject sent to the Sacred Congregation of rites received answers that a Missa Cantata may never be celebrated unless the Proper be sung, but that if it is impossible to sing them in Plain Chant, or to simpler music, then they must be recited on one note whilst the organ plays accompanying music. A fter the Offertory sentence is sung a Motet may be sung to an approved text; and after the Benedictus, if there be time, a Eucharistic Motet. During a Low Mass. The organ may play and motets or hymns (even in the vulgar tongue) may be sung, but not during those parts of Therefore there the Mass which the priest recites aloud. may be music and singing until the Preparation, from the Off ertory to the Preface, from the Sanctus to the Pater Noster, from the Agnus Dei to the Post Communion Prayers. Therefore the singing of the Kyrie and Gloria at a Low Mass is forbidden. The general rules forbid ladies to sing in choir, but this law is not so stringently applied as to exclude them where otherwise it would be impossible to have a choir at all. Solos are generally excluded, excepting where the musical necessity of a composition call for them, and they must not take up Certain solos and organ pieces whole portions of the text. played at weddings are very much against the law, being not only operatic in character, but actually taken from operas and other profane works.

New Loreto Convent EXTENSIVE BUILDING SCHEME. A private competition among selected architects has resulted in the acceptance of designs by Mr. R. Summerhayes for a new convent and chapel to be built at Ss.vanbourne. The final acceptance was made by the Mother Provincial of the Loreto Convent, who is at present visiting this State, The complete building scheme, part of which will be undertaken immediately, provides for a chapel, accommodation for 30 Sisters, a classroom block, a domestic science section, science room, art room, kindergarten, library, nuns' refectory, lunch and cloak rooms, laundry and kitchen block. The main entrance to the convent will be from Stirling-highway and the section to face this street, which includes the chapel, will be erected immediately. This main section will, in the completed scheme, form the western side of a quadrangle consisting of the three main blocks, which comprise the new building scheme, and one of the existing buildings, which overlooks the river, and will form the northern ,;ide of the quadrangle. The buildings will be constructed about a central court, which will be laid out in a formal manner, with an open space laid out as a small ampitheatre for open-air classes. Accessibility and convenience of layout of the various portions of the 'buildings has been one of the main considerations, but as far as possible an open system of planning has been adopted to provide for ample light and the ventilation to all portions of scheme, and to take advantaze of the cool south-westerly breeze in the warmOpenings will be proer months. vided between the various blocks and they will be connected by cloisters to provide convenient access to all porWhen the whole scheme is tions. completed the first portion will become the administrative block, but in the meantime it will be adapted for use as classrooms with accommodation for the nuns on the first floor.

It is proposed that the buildings will be finished with Cordova tiled roof, varying in shade from buff to red, and with woodwork and other external painted work light green or grey. This colour scheme, with the foreground ot green trees, is expected to give the buildings an outstanding appearance from all anglesThe classrooms have been located so that the eastern light is obtained for all rooms and the kindergarten has also been designed to take advantage of the morning sunlight and to provide the children with facilities for enjoying the mid-day sun on the s;erandah in the winter. The chapel nave will he 60 feet by 29 feet and will be provided with seating The interior accommodation for 200. treatment of the chapel will be simple and dignified, and it is proposed to provide parquetry flooring. Two site plans have been prepared, one showing the existing layout of the grounds and buildings with the relative positions of the new buildings in outline, the other showing a suggested layout for the grounds when the buildings 4re ultimately completed. By a comparison of the two plans it is seen that existing paths and trees have been retained wherever possible, with the exception of the main entrance It is drive from Stirling-highway. suggested that the existing double entrance be altered to provide one central entrance, with suitable entrance gates, thereby obtaining a much more In imposing entry to the convent. the final layout six tennis courts are provided in place of two now existing, with a small tennis pavilion on high ground at the northern end of the c ourts.

Welcome to Mother Provincial The Concert Hall of Loreto Convent, S wanbourne, presented a very gay spectacle on the evening of Monday, August 16, when a very large gathering of the friends of Loreto assembled to be present at a concert given by the pupils to welcome Mother Provincial His Grace, Most into their .midst. Reverend Archbishop Prendiville, honoured the occasion with his presence. Very Rev, Dr. Kennedy, Adm., Rey, Father O'Neill, Rev, Father Scanlan, C.SS.R., Rev, Father Cahill, C.SS.R., Rev. Father Rodden. C.SS.R , Rev. Father Moore, 0.M.I., Rev. Father Fahey, Rev, Father Doyle, Rev. Father Holohan, Rev. Father Foley, and several other Christian Brothers were present, Addresses of welcome were read to His Grace and to Mother Provincial, and a lovely bouquet of daffodils and gladioli was presented to Mother Provincial from the childrenMendelssohn's overture to "A Midsummer Night's Dream" opened the programme; then the audience was charmed by the singing of the choir, conducted by Mr. Rutter. The beautiful lyric, "Go, Lovely Rose,' was the tirst number: an arrangement of liach's Chorale, "Jesu, Joy of Man's This was sung Desiring," followed. with fine legato tone and artistic The last song phrasing and balance. of the group was a charming setting of Wordsworth's "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud," which the choir rendered with spirit and understanding. The choir was heard again at the end of the concert in another group of songs: "Tinker's Fires," a vivacious gypsy ballad: Moore's Irish melody, "Farewell, but Whenever," and "Happy Days." A scene from Cardinal Wiseman's "Fabiola" recalled the heroism of the early Christians and the wonderful fortitu-de, faith and zeal of the child. The atmosphere of the old martyrs. Roman days was present in the picturesque setting and dressing and the sympathetic acting of the children.

His Grace then assured Mother Provincial that the many friends and admirers of Loreto would be generous in their support. Addressing the audience again, His Grace said, "I hope that you will show your appreciation to the fullest extent possible of the wonderful work of the Sisters, who seek no earthly reward— they appeal to you to help them: You are asked to give them of your material means and surely this is little enough to show your appreciation of the love of faithful hearts and tile courage of noble souls." Turning to the children, His Grace thanked them for the evening's entertainment. "You have given us a wonderful concert to-night--every item was splendid. I thank you also for the beautiful addresses of welcome to Mother Provincial and to myself When you leave school you will bring credit on yourselves, on your parents, and on the Sisters. In conclusion, I shall ask Mother Provincial, in the presence of you all, to allow you to have a free day, for you certainly deserve it,"

PERTH, SATURDAY, AUGUST 21, 1937.

Press Volte-Face on Spain The Sino-Japanese outbreak has been a providential atTair for the secular press of this country, for its proportions on the cable page have almost crowded out the Spanish War. This, we say, should be occasion for general rejoicing, for it has saved the secular press from a complete volte-face on the situation. The secular press was certainly in a difficult position. It had either to maintain silence, which to the enlightened would be a confession that it had sinned, or it had to turn face about and acknowledge that the Catholic diagnosis was right from the commencement. It seemed as if it would choose the latter course, trusting to the uncritical faculties and short memory of the general public to get by with a not too silly face. Then the gods threw thunder -bolts in the East, and the Press had its opportunity of repudiating the confident cable news of the past year unostentatiouslv and without apology. It was, of course, obvious to everyone that the hoax could not be indefinitely prolonged in Australia, seeing that the cat was well, out of the bag in almost every other place in the world.

It is interesting to note the general lines of the secular retraction. It began with an announcement from Madrid that the Government "had decided to permit the private practice of the Catho lie religion." This was followed by a report that Mass was being celebrated in the front line Republican trenches by Father Leocadio Lobo. It was conveniently ignored that we were repeatedly assured that there was no religious persecution in Madrid. The Dean of Canterbury and the delegation of Churchmen were emphatic about this aspect. They had seen the Bible freely offered for sale on the book-stands. Of course, the whole pretence about the public celebration of Mass is vitiated by the fact that the "priest" mentioned in the cables is Leocadio Lobo, who has sold his nationality, and is, moreover, unfrocked. In his regard it was further reported that he "is helping the Government to re-estab lish freedom of thought in Spain and is recruiting Roman Catholic priests for that purpose." This blasphemous mockery of the Mass and the Sacraments will not placate the innate religious desires of those Catholics who mistakenly support the Spanish Reds, and it certainly will not deceive the Catholic world at large. Next the Press quoted a collective letter of the Spanish Hierarchy to the Catholic world, in which the toll of the Spanish Reds in life and property was given. 20,000 churches have been destroyed or plundered. 10 Bishops. 6.000 priests, and over 300.000 laymen killed "chiefly for their religious beliefs." The rising of the Nationalists was vindicated and the main blame placed on Russian Communism. This is not by any means the first statement of its kind to be made, but it is the -first to receive publication in the local Press. Then followed a sort of nebulou s apologia from Senor Azana regarding the anarchic conduct of the war by the "Government" forces, and a report from Valencia that the Government was vigorously pursuing a policy of enforcing law and order. No such reports have been made from Franco 's territory, because there has been discipline and order among the Nationalists from the beginning. This is confirmed by a report elsewhere in this issue from a priest who saw conditions early in Barcelona and later in Navarre. The bottom has fallen out the Spanish slander campaign, but the minds of thousands have been warped and poisoned during the year of its unabate d campaigning.

His Grace the Archbishop administered the Sacrament of Confirmation to seventy boys at the Clontarf Orphanage on Tuesday afternoon. In the evening His Grace presided at the closing ceremony of "Quarant Ore" at the Oblate Church, Fremantle. The annual Catholic Ball was held in the Government House Ballroom on Wednesday night, and was attended by His Grace the Archbishop, to whom nine debutantes were presented. On to-morrow (Sunday) His Grace the Archbishop will adminster the Sacrament of Confirmation at Bassendean.

His Grace the Archbishop, accompanied by Very Rev. Dr. Kennedy, will leave on Thursday, 26th. inst., by the Katoomba, to attend the forthcoming Plenary Council of the Hierarchy of Australia and New Zealand, which will he held at Sydney from the 5th. to the 12th. of September. His 'Grace hopes to return to, Perth in time for the Priests' Retreat, which commences at the Redemptorist Monastery on September 20.

Passengers by the VimMale, which arrived at Fremantle on, Tuesday, were Rev. Father Paul, 0.S.B., returning to New Norcia after a post graduate course in Theology and Canon Law at Rome; Rev. Father Killeen, M.A., LL.B., returning to the Melbourne Archdiocese after his recent ordination at the Reda College. Rome, and Rev. Father James Weimers and Rev.

Rev. Father MacKay, who has been on a short visit to Perth, left on Thursday for Carnarvon by the mail plane Kimberley. • The construc• tion of the • third wing of the three-storey St. Peter's College, Mt. Henry, for the Christian Brothers, which was eliminated when a tender of £22,000 was accepted last April, has now been agreed to, bringing the cost of the building up to £33,000. The contractor is now working on the third storey of the portion for which the first contract was let, and is expected to finish the whole of the building by Christmas, in time for the opening of the college early in the New Year. The architects are Messrs. Cavanagh. Cavanagh and Allom. a • The Silver Jubilee of his ordination to the Priesthood was celebrated quietly by Rev. Father R. L. Pace on August 12, at Albany. Holy Mass was celebrated in the morning, on the 25th. anniversary of his ordination, and the jubilarian was the recipient of the heartfelt good wishes of his parishioners and wellwishers throughout the State. Father Pace, who was ordained at Malta in 1912, came to this State shortly afterwards, and has ministered in many parishes in the Archdiocese since. "The Record" extends • a hearty "Ad Iquitos Annos" to the revered iubilarian.

On Wednesday night, His Grace the Archbishop. accompanied by the Chaplain. Rev. Father O'Reilly, attended the St_ Patrick's Branch meeting of the H.A.C.B.S., at the Cathedral Hall, the occasion being the initiation of His Grace as a member of the Society. A large and representative attendance from the various branches welcomed His Grace, through the members of the State Council and District Board. After a brief word of w elcome by the branch president, Brother Hart. expressing their delight at His Grace's presence, and the honour he had conferred on the Society and the branch by presenting himself for initiation, the National President of the Society. Brother Hynes. admitted His Grace to the Society, after which he expressed, on behalf of the Society not only in Western Australia, but throughout the Commonwealth and New Zealand their deep gratitude to His Grace for the honour he had conferred on them by becoming a member of their Society. He could assure His Grace that, as in the past. so in the future, the wholehearted co-operation and loyalty of the Society would ever be extended to him in the wonderful work he was accomplishing for the Church in Western Australia. His Grace, who was received with continued applause, said he considered that evening's function both a privilege and an honour, for he had always a deep appreciation of the work of the Society. (Applause.) In the past, pressure of work had prevented his taking as active an interest in their Society as he would have wished, but he hoped that in the future greater opportunity would be afforded him of forwarding the Interests of the Society as it deserved. He thanked them for the courtesy always extended to him by the various branches whenever he attended Catholic functions, and felt that he could" always rely on their cordial and wholehearted co-operation in his work. He thanked them for their kindly welcome and wished' the Society every sticess. (Applause.)

This year marks the golden jubilee of the establishment of five Australian dioceses--Sale, Port Augusta, Lismore, Wilcannia-Forbes and the Vicariate of Kimberley. They were all established in 1887.

DUTCH FAIR. For months the ladies have been preparing for the annual Dutch Fair, in Under the guidaid of the Convent. ance of the Sisters, and of the energetic and untiring secretary, Mrs. Young, an imposing array of goods was collected for the various stalls. Keen competition indeed; but jealous rivalry is not found where the cause is so noble, for the cause of religion. On the afternoon of August 12, the Fair was opened by Mr. Hamilton. Mr. McKinley, introducing him and requesting him to perform the opening, spoke of the sacrifice of the Sisters. They took a vow of poverty, he said, and perforce must keep it; so it is our Mr. duty to help along their work, Hamilton highly praised the work of the Sisters, and expressed his pleasure at being invited to open the fair. The people should make some sacrifice today in spending money to help the The signs of energetic good cause. work of the ladies was, he said, a tribute to the organisation of the parish, and a consolation to the parish priest. Father Hynes then thanked Mr. Hamilton on behalf of the Sisters. He remarked that we must not stress too much that we should make sacrifices to buy to-day, for only real bargains, true money's worth, were to be found on the stalls. It was a noble cause, most worthy of our support. The Sisters labour with great sacrifice for the good of the community, Their work is the education of Australia's youth. They work, and we support them, because we believe, as all Christians believe, that there can be no true education without the religious foundation. Re ligion is not only for the home or to be left as a side line, but young people must be taught in the school their .duties to God and to their neighbour. Father Hynes then called on Master Tommy Dix to make a little presentation to Mr. Hamilton, as token of oui F. appreciation of him. Misses Kearny and M. Fornero presented bouquets to the two lady judges. The stalls offered a colourful display of articles for sale, showing the pains taken by the ladies to collect and prepare. The Fancy Stall was conducted by Mesdames Young and Davidson and Miss Brady; the Produce Stall by Mesdames Dix, Kearny and Fornero, and Miss K Bond; while the Sweets were attended to by Mrs. and Miss McGowan and Miss T. McNamara. Afternoon tea was provided by Mesdames Linsay, Cook and Murray. Dips, conducted by Misses Linsay and Gamble, proved popular for the children, Altogether it was a successful afternoon, and buying, particularly at the Produce Stall, was keen. In the evening a high tea was provided for those who wished to stay in town for the concert and dance. Children's Concert. The convent school children present-ed quite an interesting concert in the evening. An enjoyable entertainment was provided for the audience, a tribute to the labours of the Sisters in preparing the children. They were arrayed in picturesque Dutch costumes, which lent attraction in the items, particularly the dancing and the final tableau. Masters Tommy Dix and Graham Kearny announced the items Here is the programme: 1, Piano Duet. ".On the Racecourse,- by V. and 2, Chorus, "Polly Wolly J. Kearny. 3.

Then, with a few words, he thanked the audience for their attendance, thanked the Sisters for preparing and providing us with this enjoyable entertainment, and finally thanked and congratulated the children for their ex (-client display. The dance then followed, music being provided by the Watheroo orchestra The ladies and mothers were tired after the exhausting day, but proud that their effort had been such a snccess and happy that they had helped such a worthy cause.

East Fremantle

Last Sunday, at the East Fremantle Church, King-street, a number of children from the school there celebrated the Feast of the Assumption by receiving their First Holy Communion. The altar was indeed a picture of careful decoration. A number of red lamps gleamed through the flowers, that consisted entirely of pure white lilies, symbolising the purity of the young hearts entering that day into Our Lady's Communion with God. special altar, too, shared in the abundance of lilies. -- The girls were dressed in white that rivalled the purity of the lilies themselves, while the • boys were all neat and shining in their white silk blouses and dark trousers, Special chairs and a carpet for the little people gave the finishing touches to the scene, During Mass, which was celebrated by Very Rev.

C.B.C. Players. BRIAN SKAHILL was again the leading school boy goal-kicker on the GoldfieldsHis tally for the five matches was sixty-three goals. Brian is an excellent team man and has the confidence and esteem of his school-. mates. In addition he is respected by the members of the opposing team. He has been the captain of two victorious teams, LES. MOORE has played a wonderful season's football. Les has been one of the most useful players in the team— an excellent mark, quick at picking up the ball, sure in his leads, and with a most disconcerting left foot kick. ALF. TAYLOR, goal-keeper. Per. haps a big reason for C.B.C.'s success was the skilful way in which Alf. defended his goal. Safe marks and long clearing kicks always nullified the opposition's thrusts at the goal. HENRY PERRY again played useful football in this, his final year at school Henry has been a member of three winning teams, and has the satisfac• tion of knowing that he always did his job. Henry's school football career has always been one of absolute fairness and is a reflex of his sterling good character. A RNOLD GRIF FEN has been one of the mainstays in the team's defence, He was always in position and in consequence was always able to do effective work. LEON. LIEDLE, another excellent sport. Clean, quick, and sure—many of the teams scoring moves were inHis play on the itiated by Leon, centre line was worthy of the best traditions of College football. MICHAEL HALLINAN played on the wing with great success. Michael was another sportsmanlike player, whose presence on the ground was of great material assistance to the team. ROD HEARN, the other wing play. er, was another good sport whose exoellent play did much to bring about t he team's victory. FRANK ARDAGH was always reliable whether he played on the ball or in a position. Frank's evenness of temper and his coolness Make him a useful player. WILLIAM BRADLEY played with great dash until an injury caused him to retire. His loss to the team was serious. EDWIN FLANAGAN improved very much during the season and played a very useful game in the final match. DES. SKAHILL played reliably all through the season. Always a strong mnn in defence.

Kalgoorlie The chief item of interest in our parish" engaging the thoughts of Catholics is the new Convent for the Sisters of St. Joseph, who have recently taken over St. Mary's School. The home of the late Mr, Creedon, in Crocus-street, has been purchased and in the hands of Mr. A. Wildy, contractor, is undergoing considerable alterations and renovations, to make of it a suitable convent. The property is very centrally situated, and faces Victoria Park, and is convenient to the church and the school. It stands on a fine block of land and is considered one of the best on the 'Fields. It is the intention of the organising committee to endeavour to open the convent free of debt. A drive for this purpose has been originated and has already met with a ready response. Cards, ruled for the insertion of nine weekly instalments, were distributed at all the Masses in St. Mary's last Sunday, and collectors will receive the instalments on each succeeding Sunday until the opening day. For years Kalgoorlie has been free of a building debt, and it is hoped to make of this a "cash transaction." Sunday, August 8, was Holy Name Sunday, and the members of the Society attended the 7 o'clock Mass in a body, and were present at the evening devotions, when for the first time the Hymn of "Christ the King- was rendered by the members of the Holy Name Society. After devotions an adjournment was made to the ball. and new hymns were practised between solo items rendered by Messrs. Johnson, Wady and Watson. The Spiritual Director, Very Rev. Father Kennedy. announced that he would receive new members at the October meeting, and urged all to great efforts to double the attendances. News from Louvain. Belgium announces that Rev. J. Rolland Boylen, S.J., son of Mrs. M. L. and the late Robert Boylen, will be ordained to the priesthood on Tuesday, August 24.

Encyclical "Divini Redemptoria"

N teaching this enlightening doctrine the Church has no other intention than to realise the glad tidings sung by the Angels above the cave of Bethlehem at the Redeemer's birth: "Glory to God . . . and . . . peace to men . . .," true peace and true happiness, even here below as far as is possible, in preparation for the happiness of heaven—but to men of good will. This doctrine is equally removed from all extremes of error and all exaggerations of parties or systems which stem from error. It maintains a constant equilibrium of truth and justice, which it vindicates in theory and applies and promotes in practice. bringing- into harmony the rights and duties of all Thus authority is reparties. conciled with liberty, the dignity of the individual with that of the State, the human personality of the subject with the divine delegation of the superior ; and in this way a balance is struck between the due dependence and w ell-ordered love of a man for himself, his family and country, and his love of God, the Father of all, their first principle and last end. The Church does not separate a proper regard for temporal welfare from solicitude for the eternal. If she subordinates the former to the latter according to the words of her divine Founder. "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His justice. and all these things shall he added unto you," she is nevertheless so far from being unconcerned with human affairs, so far from hindering civil progress and material aavancement, that she actually fosters and promotes them in the most sensible and efficacious the manner. Thus even in sphere of social-economics, although the Church has never proposed a definite technical system. since this is not her field, she has nevertheless clearly outlined the guiding principles which, while s usceptible of varied concrete applications according to the diversified conditions of times and places and peoples. indicate the safe way of securing the happy progress of society. 35. The wisdom and supreme utility of this' doctrine are admitted by all who really understand it. With good reason outstanding statesmen have asserted that, after a study of various social systems. they have f ound nothing sounder than the principles expounded in the Encyclicals "Rerum Novarum" and 4,Quadragesimo Anno." In nonCatholic, even in non-Christian countries, men recognise thc,

And when other systems hindered her work and raised obstacles to the salutary influence of the Church. she was never done warning them of their error. We need but recall with what constant firmness and energy Our Predecessor. Leo XIII.. vindicated for the workingman the right to organise. which the dominant liberalism of the more powerful States relentlessly denied him. Even to-day the authority of the Church doctrine is greater than it seems: for the influene of ideas in the realm of facts, though invisible and not easily measured. is surely of predominant importance.

''There can be nothing ennobling about a workshop," wrote Cicero, but Christianity raised manual labour to its true dignity. This masterpiece of

great value to society of the social doctrine of the Church. Thus, scarcely a month ago, an eminent political figure of the Far East, a non-Christian, did not hesitate to affirm publicly that the Church, with her doctrine of peace and Christian brotherhood, is rendering a signal contribution to the difficult task of establishing and maintaining peace among the nations. Finally. We know from reliable information that flows into this Centre of Christendom from all parts of the world .that themselves, the Communists where they are not utterly depraved, recognise the superiority of the social doctrine of the Church, when once explained to them, over the doctrines of their leaders and their teachers. Only those blinded by passion and hatred close their eyes to the light of truth and obstinately struggle against it.

But the enemies of the Church. though forced to acknowledge the wisdom of her doctrine. accuse her of haying failed to act in conformity with her principles, and trom this conclude to the necessity of seeking other solutions. The utter falseness and injustice of this accusation is shown by the whole history of Christianity. To refer only to a single typical trait, it was Christianity that first affirmed the real and universal brotherhood of all men of whatever race and condition. This doctrine she proclaimed by a method, and with an amplitude and conviction, unknown to preceding centuries: and with it she potently contributed to the abolition of "Leo XLII. vindicated for the workingNot bloody revolution, slavery. the man the right to organise, which dominant liberalism of the more power- but the inner force of her teachful States relentlessly denied him." ing, made the proud Roman matPATRONISE

It was Christianity that raised manual labour to its true dignity, whereas it had hitherto been so despised that even the moderate Cicero did not hesitate to sum up the general opinion of his time in words of which any modern sociologist would be ashamed. "All artisans are engaged in sordid trades. for there an be nothing ennobling about a w orkshop."

38. It may be said in all truth that the Church. like Christ, goes through the centuries doing good to all. There would he to-day neither Socialism nor Communism if the rulers of the nations had not scorned the teachings and maternal warnings of the Church. On the bases of liberalism and laicism they wished to build other social edifices which. powerful and imposing as they seemed at first, all too soon revealed the weakness of their foundations, and to-day are crumbling, one after another, before our eves, as everything must crumble that is not grounded on the one cornerstone which is Christ Jesus.

Football VICTORIA WINS THE CARNIVAL. Once again Vicoria has won the Championship. Carnival, making its seventh win uut of nine Carnivals, the exceptions being when South Australia won in 1911 and Western Australia in 1921. A Great Match. The closing match of the Carnival was indeed a magnificent struggle in which the rivals. in Victoria and Western Australia figured. The visitors won with eight points to spare—three minutes before time the Victorians' lead was a hare _point! On the day they were the better team. Their air superiority was unquestionable, and they were ahead of our men in . their kicking amidfield. There was very little between them, but what there was was in Victoria's favour. How They Went. A glance at the progressive scores will show what a great struggle it was: 2.4 to 0.4; 6.7 to 5.6, with W.A. leading. and then Victoria led with 10.10 to 9.1, and won with 14.13 to 13.11. The umpire was a neutral one --Armstrong. from South Australia—and though his ideas were quite different, in many instances, to those prevailing in this State. he did well, and had the virtue of consistency. Only once did he penalise for holding the ball and that was when a local overran. It is safe to 'say that had one of our arbiters been charge there would have been a score or more "free" for "holdincr the ball." T have always maintained that our umpires are far too technical in their interpretations of this "holding" rule —they are far too prone to pen .alise the man with the hall. The Attendance. What a crowd it was! The first corners were there at 9 a.m.. and long before play commenced it was a capacity house. The game was commenced half an hour earlier—at 2.30. as no more could be admitted.

This is easily a record for W.A., and the second best for a Carnival. In 1927 there were 40,454 present to watch W.A. and Victoria, while the best for Adelaide is 26,485, in 1930. Previously the record for Subiaco Oval was 24,000 on October 10, when East Perth won the grand final from Claremont. The previous record for \V.A. was 27.473, when we played Victoria in 1929. The crowd last week broke down the encircling picket fence, and swarmed on the green, just outside the boundary line. In all some 80,000 attended the three matches of the Carnival. Teams Compared. When W.A. so completely outplayed South Australia to win by 116 points—the biggesi defeat S.A. has ever received—it was expected that Victoria would likewise "wipe the floor" with the Southerners. As it turned out, they won—somewhat lucky in the end by two points! It was very pleasing to sec South Australia put up this gallant fight. It must have done much to wipe out the sting of the big defeat inflicted by the local lads. South Australia. had, on paper. the heaviest team, but they are still inclined to stand off somewhat. and play "pretty" football ! Victoria is still the "Same Old." At a crisis they are very hard to defeat. Always they ap-

pear to hold something in reserve and it was this asset that pulled them through in both their games. Western Australia did very well to go within an ace ot winning Carnival honours. We proved that our State team is still worthy of the steel of the hest in the Commonwealth. The Umpires. The idea of neutral umpires is to be commended. It gives confidence to players and supporters and stops quite a lot of _unworthy criticism after the game is over. I thought Blackburn the best o f the three. He had complete control, was not "finnicky," and missed very little that was worth noticing. Sparrow had "a day off" when he handled the South-Victoria game. He has very often been seen to better advantage. and probably the Southerners suffered more by his omissions. I have already referred tc Armstrong. Mick Cronin. Mick Cronin. of whom many' spoke disparagingly when team was announced, was, on the umpires' vote. awarded "The Tassie Medal" for the best player of the Carnival, and most agree with the judgment of the umpires. He play-ed solidly in both games. and fed in very well. Palpably he was rigidly carrying out instruc,:wwwoogrlstrs:

The Carnival Football Competition attracted entries from all over the State. and the checking is now complete. To be in the final selection, it was necessary to name the three winning teams. (,)ttite a few succeeded in doing this, but the surprisingly hollow victory of W.A. over S.A. upset calculations. A. J.

Cronin received 13 votes, followed by Ned Hender (S.A.), 9; Jack Hooper ( \V.A.), 9; Jack Regan (V.), 9; Forbes (V. ), 6. Haydn Bunton. All were anxious to see this acclaimed champion—thrice a winner of "The Brownlow Medal." He has wonderful judgment and the knack of coming cleanly out of the hurley-burley. His handball was high class and his team work likewise. His kicking was below par, and his marking well judged, but not of the brilliant type. Victorians told me that he did not show his real worth—evidently not, for though good he was far from being an outstanding player. Max Tetley. The State captain did everything well. He was at his top against Victoria, and in the last few minutes when the Victorians were bombarding the goal , he was brilliant, with his marking above opponents a highlight. He gave Lou Daily, goal . custodian, good backing up, so that Lou was able to go afield to break up Victoria's attacks, knowing full well that Max would be there to guard the goals. South's Skipper. jack Dermody, the South Australian captain, was not much in evidence against W.A., but gave a fine showing on a centre wing against Victoria. His evading of attacking oponents was very clever, while his passing on to better -positioned team mates was a fine point in his play. r1

The World of Sport T he Racing Game

With the Gallopers The Belmont Park Racing Club has drawn up an excellent programme of events for Saturday, August 21. Those who intend to follow the Goldfields round of meetings, should find Belmont's meeting a most attractive one, for many of the horses that will corn. pete on the Fields will be racing.

Our Racing Selections will be found on Page 18. "The Record" is printed on Thursday afternoon. Secure your copy early.

Cycling The big road events are drawing near the Beverley-Perth in this State, and the "Warrnambool" in Melbourne. Riders are preparing for these classics, and on Saturday there will be a big field for the Bassendean-York and return race—a distance of 104 miles. Who Invented the Cycle? There are many claimants, and it is not easy definitely to state who was the inventor. It is conceded that the bike evolved from the dandy horse of 1818. If any particular credit should be given, probably James Starley should receive it. It was he who invented what was known as the "Coventry Lever Cycle" of 1876. In 1877 Starley added a large driving wheel, making it a four -wheeled machine for two riders seated side by side. This was known as "The Convertible Social." Later he brought in a differ ential gear, used to-day on practically every tricycle and motor car. A monument erected to the memory of James Starley stands on the green as one enters Coventry (Eng.) from the railway station. This was subscribed for by the citizens of Coventry and unveiled by the Mayor on November 8, 1884. Any other claimants? As far back as 1886, the Melbourne Cycle Club held its inter-colonia: bicycle and tricycle carnival on the Melbourne Cricket Ground, before a fashionable crowd of 18,000. The cyclists wore silk and satin, while the officials turned out in top hats and frock suits, That was in the days of the solid tyre. In 1891, when the pneumatic tyre came into vogue with the low. framed bike, as we see it to-day, eye. ling as a pastime became revolutionised.

HE respect shown Him by this section of the populace, their ever-increasing faith, the things which were whispered about in favour of Jesus—all these taken together soon alarmed the Sanhedrin people, and they determined to act at once.

It was useless for His enemies to try to precipitate He declared the fatal hour. that He was to be with them for v et a little while, until the day w hen He was to return to His Father."

Timid and mild as this defence enraged the Sanhedrin. "Ah, you too! Are you a Galilean, then?" they shouted at him. "Examine the Scriptures, and learn that no Prophet ever came out of Galilee." Amid the storm of excitement these Doctors of Israel forgot that the country which they so despised had been, in truth, the fruitful mother of Prophets: for out of' Thisbe had come Elias. and from the regions of the north.

FORGIVENESS ALWAYS. No Matter the Cost. Our Lord has promised .to forgive us our sins, on condition that we forgive all those who have offended us. Almost every day of our lives occasion.: will arise when we may be asked to exercise this beautiful and Christlike virtue of forgiveness. And just as these occasions may be numerous. and, as we grow in kindness towards our neighbour. and even feel pity for those who in us. on account of the sin they may commit, the loss of merit they may sustain, or the remorse they may afterwards feel. so shall we grow in holiness and our minds will be enlightened on • the eternal truths. Fervent prayer for /LA' spirit of forgiveness will obtain this grace. Our Lord will overlook many faults and imperfections if we will forgive our neighbour for His sake and exercise kindness to all with whom we 1113.‘" come in contact. The martrvs not only forgave but even prayed for their executioners: in this way many received the grace of conversion after the death of a martyr. The prayer of St. Stephen obtained the conversion of St. Paul. who did so much to spread the Kingdom of Christ.

FEAST OF ST. AUGUSTINE, Next Saturday, August 28. St. Augustine was born in 354. at Tagaste, in Africa. He was brought up in the Christian faith, but without receiving baptism. An ambitious school boy of brilliant talents and violent passions, he early last both his faith and his innocence. He persisted in his irregular life until he was thirty-two. Being then at Milan professing rhetoric, he tells us that the faith of his childhood had regained possession of his intellect, but that he could not as vet resolve to break the chains of evil habit. One day. however, stung to the heart by the account of some sudden conversions, he cried out, 'The unlearned rise and storm heaven. and we, with all our learning, for lack of heart lie wallowing here." He t hen withdrew into a garden, when a long and terrible conflict ensued. Suddenly a young fresh voice (he knows not whose) breaks in upon his strife with the words, "Take and read," and he lights upon the passage beginning. "Walk honestly as in the day." The battle was won. He received baptism. returned home. and gave all to the poor. At Hippo. where he settled, he was consecrated bishop in 395. For thirty-five years he was the centre of ecclesiastical life in Africa, and the Church's mightiest champion against heresy : whilst his writings have been every where accepted as one c.f the principal sources of devotional thought and theological speculation. He died in 430.

The Christian Altar. Q. What is an altar? A. An altar is the table on which the Eucharistic Sacrifice is offered up and the Sacrifice of Calvary thereby renewed. St. Paul calls it "the table of the Lord" (Cor. x., 21). Q. \\That is the origin of the word "altar"? A. It comes from the Latin altus, high, the altar being always supported upon a raised structure. Q. 1.V hat was the first Christian altar? A. The first Christian altar was the table in the supper-room at which Our Lord instituted the Blessed Eucharist. It is claimed that parts of this table are preserved still in the Basilica of St. John Lateran. Q. What kind of altars were used in earliest Christian times? A. As Mass used to be celebrated in private houses the ordinary long and rectangular wooden tables in domestic use served as altars. In the time of the persecutions Mass was celebrated on stone slabs placed over or close to the tombs of the martyrs or on square or oblong tables of wood resting upon three legs or one central support. Q. Do any of these ‘vooden altars still survive? A. Besides the portions of the table of the Last Supper mentioned above, it is claimed that the w ooden table on which St. Peter offered up the Holy Sacrifice in the house of Senator Pudens-subsequently transformed into the Church of St. Pudenziana—i; preserved, encased in marble. in . the Papal altar of St. John Lateran.

The one -Nay to wake up is to come to a clear instructed consciousness of the actual conditions, economic and political, in Russia. of what the Communists aim to do in every country in the world, including our own, and, armed with this knowledge, to call the Communists' bluff. To-day To-morrow is the time to do this. may be too late. The pamphlet shows the urgency. It is one of the most important booklets ever published by the A.C.T.S. Plainly, persuasively and purposefully written, it is an exposure—the more alarming because of its thoroughness— cf the sinister Red Peril in Australia. Fully and authoritatively documented, it is an invaluable companion to the Encyclical on "Atheistic Communism." Read it and do your part to ensure t hat "It Can't Happen Here!"

ENCYCLICAL TO GERMAN BISIIOPS "If the tree of peace which We planted with pure intention in German soil has not borne the fruit We desired in the interests of your people no one in the wide world who has eyes to see and ears to hear can say to-day that the fault lies with the Church and her These words, the truth of Head." which no one can deny, appear in this t ranslation of the Encyclical to the '3ishops of Germany on the condition 4 the Church in that country. The purpose of this Encyclical, addressed to the Hierarchy. but also directed to the faithful in Germany "in this hour. when their faith is being ! ried like pure gold in the fire of tribulation, is to provide words of truth and spiritual comfort." There is another object—an underlying (me—to show to all peoples that whoever places the State, or the race, or other fundamental elements of human society out of their true relation and earthly valuation and makes them the ultimate norm of all, perverts ;Ind falsifies the God-created order. Thus, this great Encyclical, though it w as evoked by the present position of Catholics in Germany, has a field of :i,pplication as extensive as the earth. Encyclical, "Mt God and Nazi Paganism. Pius Xl. Brennender Sorge."

You would agree to this first statement if you ever saw the Chancellor of Oxford—a bishop sent through a wet wash—awarding degrees to Oxford undergraduates, with a mace in his hand instead of a crozier, a cloak on his back instead of a cope, and a goodness-knows-what on his head instead of a mitre. and a few words of watered Latin still lingering in his mouth. You would feel the same if you went up to a member of the C.orpus Christi boat crew, on whose boat flag is emblazoned a pelican. the traditional bird of the Blessed Sacrament (because it bruises its own breast to feed its young), and asked: "What is that bird inscribed on your college flag?" •His answer would be. and was. in the case of the present correspondent, "I haven't the slightest idea."

I wonder do we realise that "Bedlam" (as in Tom O'Bedlam) was once "Bethlehem"; because in the vigorous days of England's Catholicism a person who had lost his mind was treated as an "innocent," someone companionable for little Jesus.

ATHER Ulrich Kaiser, aged 57, was sentenced in Berlin recently to three months' imprisonment. found guilty of having married two years ago a J ew and an Aryan housemaid, although the civil marriage demanded by law had not been performed.

Fifteen hundred children who, according to the Soviet paper, "Isvestia," arrived at Leningrad from Bilboa on June 20. may never see Spain again.

FRANCE AND THE FREEMASONS.

°THING shows more clearly the great political influence wielded by the French Grand Orient than the number of Freemasons who have been, and are, members of the post-war Ministries. The Doumergue Cabinet of 1934 had nineteen Ministers, of whom only five were Freemasons. The Buisson Cabinet, which succeeded it, contained eight members of the Grand Lodge. At the beginning of 1936, twelve Freemasons were concerned in the first Sarraut Cabinet. The Front Populaire Cabinet of Leon Blum contained only four Ministers—Basted. Bedonee, Sellier. and Jardillier— who were not members of the craft. Finally, only three of the present Chautemps Ministry— Campinchi. Queuille. and Chapsal—are not connected with it. Chautemps himself is a member of the Lodge "La Republique." a thirty-second degree Freemason. and carries the democratic title of "Sublime Master of the Royal Secret." Is there any wonder that many read "kepublique f ranc-maconnique" for "Republique Francaise?" FOOTBALL COMPETITION RESULTS.
