( By JULIAN A. MILLEST.) ( With apologies to Stanley Holloway, the famous monologist and creator of "Sam.") Last summer Sam Small, who had got a day off, Decided to spend it at sea With a hard-i.vorkin' pal who had laid down his tools— A man by the name of Bert Lee.
It near pulled him in, but he hung on like glue, The struggle soon made him quite pale; A crowd gathered round and said, " What have you got" And Sam said, "I think it's a whale,"
Nice chap were Bert, and fond of old Sam, And Sam he looved Bert like a brother; They always agreed, especially when Sam suggested to Bert, "Have another.'
"Stick it, Sam," shouted Bert, "and the money is yours; Don't give oop; your luck's in; it's a big 'un! If you only can land him we'll take him back home; By goom, this'll be talk of Wigam,"
'Twere beautiful morning, all sunny and warm, And Bert, always a bright cheerful soul, Gave his wife a fond kiss, saw her off to her work, Then went down to exchange and drew dole.
Sam stickin' like leech were pantin' for breath, Wi' his rod nearly doubled in two, When there came a wild shout from the crowd as they saw The huge monster he'd hooked come in view. Sam stared as he watched it climb oop on't pier, And Bert said, "Darn, that's finished fiver! You've certainly made biggest catch of the day." And he had--Sam had hooked ruddy diver.
;Eh; ,by goom, this is fine,- said Sam when they arrived: " A better day I've never known" "Sea air makes me thirsty,- said Bert with a grin; "Here's pub, let's have pint of ozone.'• The landlord were friendly and after a few :Said, "I take it you're strangers down here.

FOUR Grail itself, but only of one phase of the legendary stories concerning it. I have read that it was brought to Glastonbury in England by St. Joseph of Arimathea, who used it to collect the drops of Our Precious Blood from Lord's sacred wounds. That is purely legendary, and cannot for a moment be ranked A s historical. Is the Grail still in existence? No one knows whether it ever was in existence. There are two classes of legends concerning it, the one class giving various i!-naginary forms of its history, the other class dealing with the romantic quest of the Holy Grail. But all versions of these legends must be ranked as literary expressions of the idealism and chivalry of the Catholic middle ages.
truth from different angles? Reason itself revolts against such a supposition, and declares that either the Anglican or the Catholic has not got the truth. Are Catholics Only Saved? Surely you do not suggest that only Roman Catholics can attain eternal life! I do not suggest that. I do say that, if a man knows the Catholic Church to be the only true Church, he cannot be saved if he lives and dies repudiating that Church. If, through no fault of his own, a man does not realise this truth, God will not blame him for a mistake for which he was not responsible, and will judge him on other factors. If such a man passes those tests which are commensurate with his genuine responsibilities and saves his soul, then he xvill see and admit the truth of the Catholic Church at least in heaven. For there all acknowledge the full truth, even though they may have been unaware of it on earth.

" Opened Wifilk Expecfaiion Alfred Noyes. Sheed V oltaire. and Ward. There are some books whose very brilliancy of writing obscures the merits or defects of the work as a piece of evidence. Such a book is Alfred Noyes' "Voltaire." From the literary point of view V oltaire was a giant. The number and variety of his works, light verses, dramas, essays, histories, epic poems, and so on bear witness to his extraordinary and astonishing ingenuity and industry. The quality of his style is always high. It is easy therefore to understand how his will.ings and the controversies associated with them, combined to produce what Mr. Noyes, in a most xivid chapter of his book, calls "The Coronation of VolBy the enemies of relitaire." gion, Voltaire has been claimed as an ally, and the claim has generally been allowed by the friends of religion.

Has Mr. Noves succeeded in his attempt? At a first reading it would seem that he has, but a f urther readibg shows that this is one of the cases where a brilliant piece of special pleading obscures the actual evidence. He has certainly succeeded in showing that Voltaire was no atheist. His firm belief in God appears in a hundred passages quoted in the book. Mr. Noyes has also proved up to the hilt that in several instances Voltaire has been misjudged. For instance, his poem on the Lisbon earthquake has often been quoted as a proof that he denied the goodness of God. In point of fact, however, he attacks ,there only the absurd optimism wfiich holds—in defiance of all t rue Christian philosophy—that this is the best of all possible w orlds. "Un jour. tout sera hien. voila notre esperance: Tout est hien aujourd 'hui. Voila l'illusion." It is largely upon Lord Morley's account of this poem that English readers have relied. but it is hard indeed to acquit "fionest John of the charge of garbling quotations." In mans- other instances Voltaire's friends were more extreme than himself, as when they wrote in astonishment of his supposed religious prac-

The Catholic Church and the Working Man A Lie Refuted
Communism insists on class warfare between Labour and Capital. In the words of the Holy Father: "Communism aims at upsetting the social order and undermining the very foundations of Christian civilisation." Constructive Programme. But the Catholic Church does not merely condemn: she has a definite constructive programme of her own to offer.
I
T was only recently that I happened to glance over a Communist newspaper. It was amazing to see just how antagonistic this paper was to the Catholic Church. In a most subtle manner it managed to convey to its readers the idea that the Catholic Church, being the big obstacle to the successful spread of Communism, is the enemy of the working man. And when I reflected that this paper was merely the tiniest of cogs in the world propaganda for Communism, the truth of the words of Pope Pius XI. in his latest encyclical on Atheistic Communism came home to me in a very forcible way:
Guild System.
• While the latter on his part is to give of his best in the service In this the of his employer. Catholic Church is still more the workers' friend. She urges both employers and employees to draw more closely together by means of organisations for promoting the interests of both orders.

Catholic workers, do not be deceived by Communistic No matter how propaganda. remember seems, it plausible that Communism is false—it is condemned by the Church, "the pillar and ground of truth."

"This modern revolution ex. ceeds in amplitude and in violence anything yet experienced in the preceding persecutions launched against the Church."
Taken from Church in France, it Will be Used in Lourdes.
But, Catholic workers, do not be deceived! The Catholic Church is not your enemy —she is not the enemy of the working man. She is his Tiest friend! The Just Wage. The C-itholic Church stands for the just wage for the worker—a wage which will enable him to live in decent comfort and to provide the same for his family— and not merely the inadequate soShe insists called basic wage. that employers should behave to their employees justly and hu. manelv. She demands a reasonable time of leisure for the working man and prohibits long hours Listen to the and sweating. words oc Pope Leo XIII. in his famous encyclical on The Condition of Labour: "It is neither justice nor humanity so to grind men down with excessive labour as to stupefy their minds and wear out their bodies. . .A working man ought to have leisure and rest in proportion to the wear and tear of his strength. Remuneration must be enough to support the wage-earner in r easonable comfort." And hear also the words of our present Holy Father. in his encyclical against Communism: "Social justice cannot be said to have been satisfied as long as workingmen are denied a salary that will enable them to secure proper sustenance for themselves and for their families." In the face of this explicit t eachipg, who then can maintain that the Catholic Church ignores the workingman? W hy, then, does the Church c ondemn Communism? The ansShe conwer is easy to give. demns this menace to civilisation because— Communism is atheistic. Communism is based on the f alse principles of materialism. Communism makes man the slave of the State. Communism denies to the worker .the right of owning anything pmately,
greater Jesus Christ was Himself a workingman for the from part of His life. His Church raised manual labour adequate and honourable an to slave a of mark the being method of maintaining life and liberty.
In the place of atheism, she teaches that God is the supreme reality, and that, therefore. the first and fundamental remedy for the economic evils of the day is a sincere return to a truly Christian life. Too true, alas, is the complaint of the Pope: "There are still too many Catholics who are Catholics hardly more than in name." In the place of materialism, the Church teaches that man atholic C has an immortal soul, created to the image of God, a soul 1hat must be saved at all costs. She teaches that the main end of man is not the acquisition of the gbods and pleasures of this world. And hence, she condemns the rich c apitalist who amasses wealth by s weating his employees. "Let the rich not fail," commands Pope Pius XI., "to distribute of their abundance to the poor." Instead of making the State the supreme authority, she insists that man has certain unalienable rights which cannot be taken from him: the right to life, to m arriage and its natural use, to bodily integrity, to the possession and use of private worldly goods. She forbids the enslavement of man to the State, hut she is careful to uphold the authority and dignity of the State wherever the authority of God is not impugned. In the place of class warfare she teaches that there should be c o-operation between employer and employee. The former is to ' pay the just wage— "A salary that will enable them to secure a proper sustenance for their families."
"History attests,". says Pope Leo XIII.. in his encyclical, "what excellent results were effected by the Artificers' Guild of a former day." The guilds were organisations of the masters. journeymen and apprentices of a craft -formed for mutual protection and help. TheN controlled the hours of work. prices of the finished articles, qualitv of the workmanship, etc. The idea of brotherhood was kept xvell in view; and money from the guild va s- forthcoming to a member who had experienced a reverse of fortune in any way.

In this they differ from our modern Trade Unions which consist only of workers banded together to
The story of a chalice taken from a church in France an the war, and recently found outside a confessional in Salford Cathedral, England, has been told by Canon Sharrock, Administrator. Canon Sharrock said that one Saturday night outside his confession box he found a box containing a chalice, with a note stating: "This chalice was taken from a church in France during the war and I wish it to be restored to the Church. You may do with it as you may desire." The chalice was not a very wonderful chalice, but still it was a chalice, and the object of the man who left it was plain. The chalice has been regilded, and he was now handing it over to the Bishop. Accepting the chalice, Bishop Henshaw said he was afraid it was not possible to find out the - particular church from which the chalice had been taken, but he proposed to take it with him on to pilgrimage the Diocesan Lourdes and present it to the Fathers in charge of the Grotto.

Many of the points were highly contested. In the Doubles the play was decided by two straight sets (1:5-8) (15.5). Peggy Flynn's quick return from her net position, and Gertrude Wood's skill in placing the shuttle secured an unexpectedly easy victory for this pair over their opponents, B. Morrissey and F. Waters. The play in the Singles was more even. Gertrude Wood won her first set (153), lost the second set (8-15), but she was in her best form for the concluding set, and won (15-5).

KALGOORLIE. Ex-Students at the University. It is gratifying to note the continued success of the past pupils of Christian Brothers' College, Kalgoorlie, at the University. At present there are six undergraduates, all of them winners of Government University Exhibitions, who claim the old school in Wilsonstreet as their Alma Mater. All were successful in the recent terminal examination, and are now enjoying a short vacation, preparatory to their final examination, - which takes place in November. Mr, Stan Waddell, who is doing 3rd. year Science, topped thc lists in Maths. III, (Section A), gaining 99 per cent. In the previous term he gained the highest marks in Physics III., scoring 92 per cent. Mr. John Zani, who is a 2rid. year Science student, secured 1st. place in the University in Maths. II., gaining 95 per cent. of full marks. The other successful students were Mr. C. Keogh, 2nd. year Science; Mr. .1. Duggan, 3rd. year Science; Mr. F. Ryan, 3rd. Year Agricultural Science; and Mr. W. tarter, B.Sc., who is doing a course for the Diploma of Education During the week the present boys in the Leaving Certificate Class had the pleasure of listening to those University students lecturing on their favourite subjects. Mr. Stan Waddell gave a popular exposition of the Atomic Theory; John Zani lectured on the Elements of Structural Geology, with special reference to local conditions; Mr. Con Keogh initiated his hearers into the wonders of Plant Life, with special reference to Mendel's Theory of Genetics; Mr, Frank Ryan finished the series with a most interesting lecture on Bacteriology, Thanks are due to Dr. Moore, of the Commonwealth Laboratory, and to Mr. Allen, his assistant, who placed a high power microscope and several slides, cultures, illustrations, etc , at the disposal of the -lecturer.

Conflict of Two Civilisations Franco Fights For Christianity A As Well as Spain
WRITER in the the other day d'Ita.lia" "Popolo r eferred to the war in Spain as a conflict between two types of civilisation and two conceptions of the world. It is the kind of r emark which would need no c omment abroad where everybody has accepted it as an obvious truth for many months past. But in England there are still large numbers of people who do not grasp this fundamental point. Partly because they know less history than foreigners, and partly because they have been duped by Marxist propaganda, they fail to realise what is happening in Spain. It is of the utmost importance to us all, not only to Catholics, hut to every man who has inherited our western civilisation, that Communism should he defeated in Spain, as it has been defeated in Hungary, in Poland, in Austria, in Italy, and in Germany. Since Europe is disunited, the war must be kept a local war. hut to pretend that the whole affair is "futile," and that there is really nothing to quarrel about, is to ignore everything that has happened in turopl since Bela Khun made his terrible experiment in Hungary.
muddle-headed people who, professing a vague Liberalism, are ready to slide more and more to the Left; and up to now they have succeeded in persuading the uninstructed that the Catholic Church is the secret supporter of capitalist tyranny and the enemy of all attempts to give the w orkers a happier and more secure existence. Fortunately, the Encyclicals are now "news," and the Catholic, and even the nonCatholic who is interested in the realities of our time, is reading such documents as the "Divini Redemptoris." Those who are not generous enough to admit that Franco is fighting the battle of Christenilom. nor interested enough to read his own description of the Spain which he is endeavouring to build. may differ about his But it is too late in the aims. day to pretend that what he rose against was a freely-elected Liberal government; or that the central fact in all this toil and heroism and bloodshed is a ballot-boN That ballot-box, the thing which our Left and half-Left newspapers make the most important point in the war, is the one thing for which neither side cares lt For not men's votes farthing. hut their souls are at stake.

God knows, the world has grown drab enough, and insecurity and anxiety have Weakened the imagination that should respond to the heroism and chivalry of the men who are giving their lives for something which But if we once held very dear. the complexities of European diplomacy disunite us, if our apathy will not allow us even to salute the followers of Franco and wish them well, that is no reason why we should suffer the dupes ot vague `iprogressive" ideology to misrepresent the conflict, without uttering our protest. This quarrel was not sought by It was forced Catholic Spain. upon the country. The Church everywhere tries to adapt itself to the national form of government, and had shown that it intended to work loyally with the Republic, as it had worked loyally with the Monarchy. But there comes a moment when resistance to oppression is a duty. The moment came and Franco struck, and at once the propagandists ot Moscow represented the war as one between democracy and dictatorship. We were told that there were no Communists in Giral's "Gov ernment." There was no need for them. They did their work from outside. Caballero had matters in hand, and his task was, while conducting a campaign of mutilation and murder against pri(--Is and nuns, to pose as the
defender of a freely-elected government. Victory for Caballero would have meant, victory for Prieto would mean, the complete destruction of the Church in Spain, and the setting up of that abominable Soviet system which even the heathen intellectuals have ceased to praise. That is why the sentence I quoted at the beginning of my article is worth considering. The Catholic Church and Communism are face to face, and, at grips. and no other explanation of what is going on makes sense.

Evading the Issue It is useless to discuss the motion of Mr. D. F. Vincent, carried by the Anglican Synod last week, to the effect that "This Synod is opposed to the principle of State aid financially to denominational schools." For iris a complete evasion of the point at issue. Catholics are not seeking for State aid, either for their They are asking only for the use Church or for their schools. of the taxes they already pay —taxes which are already devoted to the education of other people's children in a system which they themselves cannot accept. There is nothing new about that claim. It is as old as the system of compulsory and secular education, foisted on them against their will, over sixty years ago. Moreover, it is a claim that has been recognised in England and most of the Dominions for the past 30 years. Take for example the attitude of the "Mother of Parliaments" to this question and compare it with the niggardly bigoted position of our own. Catholics have only to provide the The English buildings while we have to provide the buildings, teachers, Yet the English Catholics hold upkeep and equipment as well. that full justice has not yet been done to them. Only last year they rejected the new Education Bill, which, because it raised the school age by one year. placed an additional burden on Catholics They did in requiring them to build additional accommodation. this, because they felt that since they pay taxes for the education of their children, the State should supply the buildings as well. • All citizens who pay taxes ought to share in the benefit ot that taxation, and the State to deal equitably with its subjects is To compel paybound to provide for all the education desired. ment of taxation and deliberately exclude from participation in it, England has made amends to a great is downright injustice. extent, but Australia has made none. English Catholics still complain about the four and a half millions they have to pay for education over and above other denominations, and their grievances Australian Catholics complain about are at least acknowledged. their fifty millions, and they are accused of stirring up sectarian bitterness, because they have the temerity to protest against injustice.
TO THE CLERGY. RELIGIOUS. AND LAITY, ON THE FORTHCOMING PLENARY COUNCIL. On the eve of my departure to attend the forthcoming Plenary Council at Sydney. it is unnecessary to insist on our need of Divine assistance, that we may be enlightened and guided in our deliberations for the greater glory of God and the good of the Church in these lands. I would therefore suggest that the clergy recite the Prayer, "De Spiritu Sancto" at Holy Mass during the days of the special prayers, Religious offer Council. that the and that the Litany of Loreto be recited by the faithful on the occasion of Holy Mass or Benediction. T would also suggest to the teachers that prayers for that intention be recited by the children in our schools. In this way Clergy, Religious and Laity will he united in prayer that God may bless and render fruitful the work of the Hierarchy on this most important occasion. With every hest wish.

From the standpoint of sound. sane citizenship. one can only wonder why it is that penalties are imposed on definite religious teaching in our elementary schools.

But the trouble is that we Catholics have built our schools and the other denominations have not.

We have willingly made sacrifices for our schools in the past, and will continue to do so in the future, if necessary. But we will not cease to protest against the injustice which compels us to do so. If those who cry sectarian bitterness are sincere in their protestations, they ought to use their influence to remove the injustice. As it is. their much-vaunted which they fear will provoke it. concern for justice and tolerance is mere hypocrisy.
Letter From His Grace the Archbishop
Saturday, August 28, 1937.
Under the head of superstition conic idolatry, divination, magic and many forms of puerile quasi-religious beliefs. Idolatry is no longer a practical issue to-day, but the desire to know by divination and to do by magic shows itself in every age. Man's credibility and curiosity is unlimited, and designing persons have always been able to play upon it in various ways. It l‘ 1I be found to flourish most characteristically in an atmosphere Of profound ignorance, or in a condition where piety tends to become Lamentably enough it shows merely external and sentimental. itself occasionally among Catholics, who would introduce false Only quite recently wt. and superfluous elements into religion. had occasion to condemn the futile craze of chain prayers. The least instructed Catholic must realise that it is presumption to imagine that one can compel divine favours by imposing a time limit, and irreverent to employ threats under the lying asumption of piety. Only sheer ignorance can excuse from grave moral culpability. A new phase of the chain prayer vogue has recently come to light. So far it has confined itself to New South Wales. It differs from the usual type in that it is patently the work of somebody anxious to bring discredit on the Church. The wording of the letter shows that it is not the work of anybody conversant with elementary Catholic terminology. Here are some excerpts:— "It is the duty of every true Catholic to work for the defeat o f any candidate for any position whatsoever who is a heretic. Plenary indulgence will be offered to all saints for those who work Money required for this cause for the defeat of these heretics. will he supplied to the true Catholic. This being a chain letter, you are requested to send a copy to three Catholic friends, hut great care must be taken that only true and trusted Catholic men and women receive same: hut let this he an endless chain throughout N.SAV.. which will ultimately place Catholics in all controlling positions in our fair land and defeat the heretic candidates in all ballots, particularly in this coming election." Note the offering of a Plenary indulgence to all saints. as refutal of Catholic authorship. Apart from the ignorance displayed regarding Catholic terminology, the underlying idea of Catholic political domination is absurd. Pope Leo XIII. has clearly defined the position of the Church as regards politics and forms of governments: "While being the guardian of her rights," he says. "and most careful against encroachment, the Church has no care what form of government exists in a State, or by what custom the civil order of Christian nations is directed: of the various kinds of government there is none of which She disapproves, so long as religion and moral discipline live untouched." There is the teaching of the Church in the words of a Sovereign Pontiff—to refute All Catholics would abhor the use the slanderous statements. of religion as a means to political advancement. The difficulty with this, as with all forms of slander, is that there will always be found people gullible enough to swallow it.

"The horizon is clearer. Permanent friendship with England is possible." So spoke Benito Mussolini, Dictator of Italy, in his most pleasing speech for a long time.

Of course you are, and :iere is an opportunity of helping on a missionary work that does not directly cater for you, but it caters for others, whom you wish to help.

They all helped with our parish church, and let us all help them in this necessary We are hoping that undertaking. every home may give a weekly offering towards the cost of the land and school.

The York Town Hall was the scene of the annual Spring Ball on Wednesday, August 18. The function was an unqualified success, socially and financially, and all who attended had no hesitation in proclaiming it the best and most enjoyable ever held in York. There was just sufficient rain during the day to put everyone in excellent spirits and the night turned out to be as "ordered," The hall was tastefully decorated in "Spring" shades of pink and green, while sprigs of almond blossom and Icelands poppies provided seasonable effects. Coloured lights illuminated a very pretty scene, as nearly three hundred folk danced to the strains of Griffin's 5-piece orchestra. Much of the success of the evening must be attributed to the organiser and secretary, Mrs. A. Noonan, and her band of energetic workers, whip spared themselves no effort to ensure To these gena successful function. erous helpers, to all who provided the excellent supper in such quantity and quality, to all who gave donations and attended the event, we are indeed deeply grateful.

We had a very peaceful time last week, the only thing that reminded us of the carnival being the community concert on Wednesday night in aid of the Labour Stall. Howeer, we began this week in good style, having a very successful social, organised by Mesdames Torrens and Austin, in the Kindergarten, in aid of the Irish Stall. Lots of dancing and songs at frequent intervals made the time pass much too quickly for many of us, but we hope that it will not be long until we meet again for another of these functions. On Monday night, too, we had a very successful house party at the residence of Mrs. Pyke, 59 Sunbury-road, in aid of the Australian Stall, and e verybody enjoyed themselves. There were lots of variety in the amusement side—spinning wheels, crown and anchor—but the best of all was the attempt of would-be poets to complete the couplets in a guessing competiIt was as good as the one on tion, the radio on Sunday nights, so you missed one good event, but there is a rumour that we are to have another shortly. So keep up your heart. Next week's events are: Tuesday. Whist, at the Kindergarten Friday: Euchre at the Kindergarten. On Friday, September 3, there is also a variety concert, at the Victoria Park Town Hall, in aid of the Irish The organiser is Mrs, Brophy Stall. with whose musical ability we are all well acquainted; so that if you do not like a game of euchre, you can betake yourself to the Town Hall and enjoy a real feast of music and song. The Hibernians held their quarterly Communion at the 7.30 Mass on Sunday morning, and it was the best a ttendance we have to report of for a long time. Sodality. Once again the first Sunday of the month approaches, and with it comes the reminder that it is also the Sacred for Heart Sodality members' day C ommunion. And naw something of interest: The cold mornings are gone, and people inay find it easier to get up a little earlier, and hence, beginning on September 5, the Masses on Sunday will be at 7 a.m., 8,30 a.m., and 10 a.m.
All Hallows' Branch, H.A.C.B.S. All Hallows branch have decided to make their meetings more attractive by having a syllabus item each night. On Monday, August 16, Rev, Father Brennan had decided to give a lecture on the history of Communism and its relation to the Church. However, as it was felt that quite a number of men of the parish who were interested in these lectures had gained the impression that it was for lodge members only, it was decided to postpone the lecture till Monday. August 30, when all men of the parish are invited to be present. In lieu of the lecture, short impromptu speeches on topical e vents took place, and it was soon evident that similar evenings would be most interesting and instructive. Rev. Father Brennan therefore desires a good attendance for Monday night, August 30, and it is possible from these evenings may develop the foundation of a Catholic Men's Club in the parish, which would be most desirable. All Hallows' Tennis Club. A large number of members attended the social and meeting held in the School-room on Thursday evening, 19th. inst. Nominations were received for club's annual tournament, entries closing on Sunday, August 29 The tournament will begin on Sunday, September 5.

One was that at Subiaco, where the locals were beaten quite easily by the visitors, who seldom played football above third-class. The other game was that at Claremont, where the "Tigers" made hacks of the It seems that after big Port Reds. tootball in this State, we must experience low-grade play. It has happened so in the past, and football fans are almost resigned to it. The two games referred to were the limit in lack-lustre play. A Remarkable Game. It was a most important. and a most remarkable game, at Leederville, where West Perth just got home from East Perth by two points, and by so doing went into "The Four,- knocking the defeated side into fifth position. Wests, advantaged by the wind in the first quarter, but handicapped by inaccuracy at the goal front, kicked 2.6 to 1.2. This was by no means a good start, and thus early the crowd was talking of a Western reverse, and goodnight to "The Four," but the Blues found an improved team opposed to Followthem in the second quarter. ing Wests' bad example in kicking, they added 4,6 to 2.0, and at the long interval it was anybody's game.

over the board looked pretty to supporters of the Cardinals, who led with 11.11 to 5,10. The final quarter was a thriller! \Vests kept them off high class work, but when Easts finally broke through to goal, they went on to monopolise the scoring, adding 5.4 to nil. It is the only case I know of where a team failed to score in the last The final scores term and yet win. were: 11.11 to 10.14, in favour of Wests. A remarkable game with important issues. "The Four," Once again we are to see a gallant fight for ''The Four." There are three more games in the first round, and there are five clubs that hope to play So bunched is in the second round. the field that none can feel safe. Claremont—good luck to them—is leading, and its remaining engagements are SuThat hiaco, West Perth, and Perth. is not a hard programme, and I will be surprised if Claremont does not win at Thereleast two of these matches, fore I am having Claremont "a good thing" for the second round, and I expect them to fill one of the, two coveted places--first or second. to East Fremantle—it is difficult imagine this great old club being out of "The Four"--4will play West Perth where is at Fremantle, and that Yet so import\Vests hate to play! ant will be the issue, that Wests may rise to it and win. I prefer East Fremantle, whose second game is against Subiaco, whom they should beat decisively. The third is going to be much more difficult, for the Port Blues ‘yill engage the City Blues at the Port Oval, and here it is difficult to say who will win. East Fremantle should win two of the three engagements, and stay in second position, which is on a par with No. 1 once the big games are on. Swans—and here's hoping the "Babies- make the grade—won so well last week that future antagonists will find They play East them tough birds. Perth at Perth Oval, Perth at Bassendean, and West Perth at Bassendean It is not an easy programme, and just at the moment it would be unwise to attempt t, , place them as regards "The Four,"
\Vests' engagements are East Fremantle at the Port, Claremont at Claremont, and Swans at Bassendean. This is the biggest contract of any, and Wests must feel uneasy when they contemplate it. However, last week's win will do the world of good, and the Cardinals are dour fighters. If they do get into "The Four" then Wests will have many who will support them to take the League Pennant. But the job of making "The Four- is in front of them, and unless they defeat Old Easts at Fremantle, they will run against me, East Perth did a wonderful thing when they won the Premiership last season, They "came from nowhere" to snatch the from teams that seemed definitely superior. Their re. maining first round engagements are v. Swans, at Perth Oval; v. Souths, at Fremantle; and East Fremantle, at Perth Oval. They are two points behind and have a hard row to hoe. Then they are two points behind in fifth place. It seems almost necessary for them to win their three engagements. Can they do it? If \Vests win at the Port on Saturday then I'll say "The Four" will remain as it is. In other words. East Perth will finish in fifth place. It's a very interesting position, and followers of the game are in for some great games. 'Congratulations. Congratulations are due to Christian Brothers' College for its dual win1st. and 2nd.

Brother Dixon, who had charge of the Seconds, and the captain and the members of the junior "champions.* * •
Athletics On Saturday, at the Perth Racecourse, the Five-Mile State Championship will be decided. Last week Morley won the 3-Mile Championship, and he is greatly favoured for the 5-Miler, A Potential Champion. In jack Munford, of Sydney-, Australia has a potential world's champion, and one of whom we should hear quite a lot, unless he has gone off since last season. He is just 20, and vet he has to his credit the State 200 Yards and 400 Yards Championships He looks the part of a champion— stands 6ft. 3iin. in his socks, and weighs list. 7lbs. He is the biggest and heaviest sprinter of note in New South Wales. His best times are 10,2 sec. for 100 yards: 22.10sec. for 220 yards: 51sec. for 440 yards. Those are times that tell of a champion in action. He is being coached by Mr. Pat Walsh, who was mentor for Jimmy Carlton, probably the greatest Australian sprinter of all time. He is also adept at throwing the discus, having covered 18ft. llin. when 17 years of age. This is not a great throw as standard goes, but he threw on that occasion as a novice.
Horace is in the land of nod, Breathing like a child . . . sleeping the Five minutes ago sleep of the just. he was enjoying his last smoke of 'White Oak" before retiring. Even now you'll contentment on notice the faint smile of that noble countenance! No doubt about it, "White Oak" is the sure password to dreamland . . and unlike some tobaccos it brings no headaches or unpleasant taste next morning. "White Oak" is a 'hundred per center" in every way. A sk Horace!
Probably at the Empire Games we may see him at his best in the Quarter Mile. Test Races. The Amateur Athletic Association of this State is desirous of sending representatives to the National Games to be held at Brisbane, but expects candidates to perform up to set standards, which would give them a possible hope of victory against the stars of the East. The following are the main events at which the selectors will be present, and watching for the requisite talent: Saturday, September 4, FremantlePerth Relay. Saturday, September 18: Mile Medley Relay, at Subiaco Oval, Saturday, September 25: Second Mile Medley Relay. Saturday, October 9: 440 Yards Relay. These will be followed by test races on October 17 and 24. and then the selection will be made. This State could to it, Peds. do with some limelight in athletic e vents.

Some Cricket Notches
It seems fairly certain that New Zealand will play our State XI. at the W .A.C.A. in late October. The negotiations for sending a State XI. on tour are proceeding, South Australia has agreed to one game—a mid-week one. If Don Bradman plays there should be a good "gate"—midweek or not. The fact that New Zealand is anxious to play in Adelaide, Melbourne, and Sydney is making the arranging of the tour more difficult. A t the best, it seems likely that the W.A.C.A. team may have a mid-week match in Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney, with two games in Tasmania, where our team would be very welcome. On the other hand would it not be better—under the' curcumstances—to postpone the trip, as we .should have New Zealand here in October and the Australian XI. next March. A tour of the East cost the W A.C.A. something in the vicitity of £800, and so woefully weak is our standard at present, that we would not be a match for a good second XI, in the East. These matters need considering. Club executives are getting busy for a season wherein we should see brighter cricket. The W.A:C.A. Cricket Committee is to be commended for its attempt to liven up the players by legislating- against those who refuse to play the game brightly. How about a game S.A. v. with the former State leaving out its "imports" Work it out and you will see that it might make quite a good match, for minus its imported' stars, South Australia would be below a 2nd XI standard. The R.S.L. is progressive. It provides very bright cricket each Sunday of the season, and draws big crowds. The players adopt the right spirit, and the spectators are not slow to show their appreciation. The manager of the touring team that goes to Adelaide in December, Mr. Bill Menkins, says that this State will bring hack "The Ashes."

This Congress effect for Australia, celebrates Australia's 150th. AnniverThere will be throughout our sary. country other ways of commemorating this epoch in Australia's life, and in them Catholics will join with joyful But a Congress like ours hearts. means a celebration elevated in its character, heavenly in its design, and destined to bring upon our country a blessing that the most abundant material resources cannot purchase, The spirit of the Congress celebration is expressed in the words of the Three Boys mentioned in the third chapter of the Prophecy of Daniel in which they thanked God for their miraculous deliverance from the flames ot the furnace which King Nabuchodnosor had lighted to consume them. "Let the earth bless the Lord," they sang. "let it praise and exalt Him above all for ever" (3, 74). In looking back on Australia's march to nationhood, on the difficulties she encountered, on her triumphs, on the esteem in which she has been held among the nations, on. her love of peace and order, and on her unvarying defence of the claims of God despite the power and pressure a of adverse forces—we recognise splendid record on her part and are filled with gratitude to our Divine Benefactor. And so we ask every section of 'Australian territory—cities and towns, hills and plains, the remotest areas of the inhabited bush—to send a choir of human voices to sing with us at Newcastle's Congress a hymn of thanksgiving for it all Patriotism. The Newcastle Congress is an appeal to the patriotism of every Catholic who Patriotism calls this land his own, is love of country and loyalty to its interests. If it is genuine it does not remain silent, hut expresses itself in forcible language as did the patriotism of the Jew long ago. "If I forget thee, jerusalem, let my right hand be forgotten. Let my tongue cleave to my law,: if I do not remember thee." (Ps. 1361. But has it not gone further and obtained from man a cheerful sacrifice of life and of all that was dear to him, a testimony of love in which Australia has allowed no country to excel her. however, patriotism, Well-directed takes special account of a country's highest interests—the promoting of religion in it, the making of Jesus Christ its King, the putting out of it all that He hates and the-cultivating of all that

RT. REV. EWII . ND GLEESON, C.SS.R., Bishop of Maitland. The Eucharist. The Holy Eucharist is the central mystery of our religion, the source from which men and women, nations and individuals, must draw if God is to be served and man's supreme destiny achieved. In the Holy Eucharist we approach Jesus Christ, we meet Him, we speak to Him, we know Hirn, we become united with Him. Just as the Almighty has manifested Himself to the world through the Incarnation, that is, through Jesus•Christ, so Jesus Christ manifests Himself through the The Newcastle ConHoly Eucharist, gress will help Australia to realise the high purpose of this Sacrifice and Sacrament; it will be a great demonstra tion of thanksgiving to Jesus Christ for Its institution, a great protestation of love of It in Mass and Holy Communion, and a great prayer for stronger faith in the Real Presence of Him Who said, -This is My Body, this is Mv Blood." How then can he call himself a true lover of 'Australia who will miss a splendid opportunity of bringing this great Gift of his loving Saviour more effectually into his own life and that of his countrymen, of making Australia a land where the Blessed Sacrament is loved, and of doing much to enable the nation to begin a new cycle of 150 years fully conscious and appreciative of the promise of Christ, "He that eateth Me the same shall live by Hence, brethren, my heart Me." burns with the desire that my words will penetrate every heart, and that men and women and children of Australia will keep whispering to themselves the ejaculation which they will sing in sweet and joyful tones during the Eucharistic Procession— "0 Sacrament most Holy, 0 Sacra. ment Divine, All praise and all thanksgiving be every moment Thine." The Missions. But our Congress is Missionary as w ell as Eucharistic, and this fact also gives patriotism a voice in urging us to labour for its success. Missions to the heathen extend the Eucharistic Christ makes Kingdom of Christ. Himself known to them by means of the Holy Eucharist, captures their hearts, nourishes their souls, and gives them the vigour of Catholic life. Let the Catholic altar he erected in a pagan land ,let the Sacrifice of the Mass be offered there, let the Holy Eli. carist occupy Its place in the tabernacle, let the little groups of converts begin to approach the rails—and the power of the Holy Eucharist commences to he felt all arouna, and fresh

Surely no more exalted work can be contemNow, that is the work our plated. Congress aims at organising better in Australia. It wants to make Australia misisonary, missionary-minded — it wants her to send her sons and daughters to pagan lands, to help in material ways their churches, schools and This institutions, to pray for them. surely will bring to Australia a glory greater than any feats of valour can win for her. Let us think well oi, this, and as a result we shall feel anything we can do for the Congress to be a patriotic effort which our race and blood will make us proud of, as well as a religious act for which Jesus Christ will richly reward us. Indeed, it has been said many times by the present Sovereign Pontiff that a Christian nation in its works for religion at home is doubly blessed when it remembers and works generously for religion in heathen lands abroad. So, brethren, in your Congress daily prayer say with special earnestness the words, '0 Jesus Christ, bless the Congress at Newcastle, that it may give us a greater love of souls and a burning zeal for the conversion of those who do not know You." Social Question. The patriotic feature is also well marked in the attention the Congress will give to the Social Question. Many addresses will deal with this subject and propose means, as outlined by the A solHoly Father, for settling it. emn appeal will be made to Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament—the Sacra ment of Unity, Peace and Charity —by the great gathering of bishops, priests and people from our own land and many countries beyond it, to look with favour upon Australia, to remove indistrust justice, dissatisfaction and from it, and to create a sense of bro. therhood among its people. Let these thoughts, brethren, bring the Congress before you as an enter. prise in which Our Lord has stored up blessings without number of Austra• h a, for the nations who will take part in it, for the Missions, for the Church throughout the world, and for each one of you individually.

Use in great measure the Holy Eucharist in your preparation, through your own presence—or at any rate that of some members of your home—at daily Mass I would like to add that the history of Eucharistic Congresses assures us that this practice more than any other brought success to them. I would ask each Pastor to arrange for his people, if not a Mission or Retreat, at least a Triduum of supplication for God's blessing upon the Congress. These days of recollection can also be employed for the organising of the Societies and Confraternities. especially those of men, so that each parish may take part in the Congress in full strength of numbers and full fervour of spirit. In addition to the home recitation, let the Congress prayer be recited at the public Hour of Adoration. Besides Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament permitted at other times, I hereby allow a Three Hours' Exposition to be held, once every month, in the community chapel or oratory of each Religious Institute, for petitions to Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament for the success of the Congress. Parents, as well as our religious teachers, will not, I am sure, forget to urge the children to pray even more fervently than they have been praying to Our Divine Lord, through the intercession of His Blessed Mother, that nothing may be wanting to make the Congress a magnificent demonstration for His glory and the good of souls I hope that the Bouquet of Pious Exercises, formed from the Masses. Communions, Visits, Rosaries, etc., of the children of the schools of the five religious teaching institutes of the Diocese, will be, in its beauty and dimensions, most acceptable to Our Divine Lord, and powerful in obtaining from Him for our children a Congress blessing that will keep them devoted to Him for ever.

dusk had settled Christ in the Gospel Pages WHEN the walked withJesus city, over
out the walls, directing His steps toward the Mount of Olives. This was the spot where He had been accustomed to pass the night during the several times He sojourned in Jerusalem, whether because He had been invited to take shelter in some dwellingplace thereabouts, or, it may be, not having where to rest His head, He sought slumber under c over of the spreading groves. At daybreak He wended His way b ack to the Temple; at once "all the people came to Him, and having seated Himself, He taught The Sanhedrin had not them." in the least renounced the pursuit; but comprehending that. more than anything else ,it was expedient for them to draw the multitude away from Him, they turned their whole attention to this end. Something, occurred immediately to further their projects. A Snare. The seven days spent beneath their sylvan huts were not without peril for the uprightness of the Israelites; oftentimes merriment degenerated into license, and it so happened that during this very night a woman had been The custom taken in adultery. of stoning a guilty wife had ceased to be enforced for a long time now; divorce alone satisfied the vengeance of the wronged husband; and at this period especially. when the Roman authorities reserved to themselves all rights over life and death. no other punishment was possible. None the less did the Sanlie. drin-Councillors drag the sinning woman up to the Temple. and pushing_ her into the presence of the Lord: "this "Master," they said, oman has just now been taken in adultery. Moses commanded us in the Law to stone the woman guilty of this crime. What say von as to this?" They meant to oblige Him either to put Himself in opposition to Moses by rescuing the sinner, or else force Him to consign her to the death torture. Now they foresaw that the latter decision would not only destroy His great renown for gentleness in the people's eves, but would moreover expose Him to the yengeance of Rome. Jesus, at a glance. detected the snare; beneath this zealous exterior of piety, He saw clearly that there was nothing but hypocrisy. Hence lie deigned no reply. but stooping down towards the ground, He fell to writing with His finger in the sand This He did to indicate that any profi tless occupation. such as this of tracing letters in the dust. disconnected and meaningless signs though they were, vet in His eves seemed worthier of attention than the query proposed by these fanatic Doctors. Who Is Without Sin? A nd on their part they chose to act as if unconscious of the Master's disdain; they persisted in a ttracting His notice to the shame-struck, wretched woman and waxed the more urgent with look and voice. At last Jesus drew Himself up. "Let him who is without sin Vmong you," He said. "cast the t stone." Without decrying the law of blood, still He would not have any hands essay the execution of its mamlates save such as were w orthy of the charge. Not a finger was lifted in this assembly, which until now had shown

itself so arrogant. Jesus, once more half-kneeling on the began to write i again; "it was their sins He was recording in the sand," so says a curious lection in an ancient Codex, and each man there understood this mute language, whereby they stood self-convicted. Scribes and Pharisees were alike dumb-founded and silent; their hands crept away from the sinner's garments. their eyes fell, overwhelmed with shame they slunk away, one after another—first the older ones among them, their souls consumed with evil spite, then the Younger men. Soon in all this
this page of the Gospel, which sets the Heart of Jesus before us in the truest light: indeed, there is none which teaches in clearer accents that the real triumph of chastity lies, not so much in flying any contact with the defiled soul, but rather in purifying it. even as the ray of sunlight penetrates the mire and illumines it without being soiled thereby. And it was this the Master proposed to show by His tender m ercy toward the erring woman — that charity and grace are

Archbishop Simonds Criticises University Professor Abuse of Public Position Catholic Students Protest Against Calumnious Lies

T the monthly meeting of the Newman Society of Tasmania, which was held in the University Library, Hobart, on Wednesday evening, August 4, His Grace the Archbishop (Most Rev. J. D. Simonds, D.D., D.Ph.), in the course of a scholarly address, denounced the toleration that was being extended by the University Council to a professor whose pronounced anti-Catholic bias and ignorant attacks upon Catholic doctrines and practices have been regrettable features of his lectures. notes and writings over a number of years.

"friars who could not offer the alleviation of Purgatory for the money they begged," and other similar acidities, I realised that I was confronted with something more ugly than mere ignorance. However. I must confess that I was quite unprepared for anything like the following: "Even the Christian religion could not satisfy the masses with one God, so it retained the angels (inferior deities). and made semi-deities of special men—saints."

His Grace said : I heartily dislike discord in our social life, but a strong sense of my duty to my faith and to the members of my flock impels me to give utterance to the grave criticism which I intend to make in your presence tonight. I have learned with amazement that the students who attend one of the courses of lectures in Arts at our university have long been forced to listen to caricatures of and gibes at their most cherished religious beliefs, and that this systematic introduction of irrelevant scoffing has been a source of exasperation to the students for years. Pathetic Blunders. The other day I had an opporMOST REV. J. D.

the Catholic students of the um versity that, at the risk of reprt• sals, they have written a strongly worded protest. The professor's private opinions on matters of religion are entirely his own affair, but that he should abuse his public position by directing vulgar and grossly insulting sneers at our religion is a matter that gravely It concerns the public welfare disgraces the University of Tasmania, and must give the general public a very poor impression of the standard of culture within On behalf of that institution. the Catholic people of this Island against protest I indignantly these insults to our faith, and as a citizen I protest against the degradation of a university chair. Moreover, I wish to take this occasion to assure the gentleman in question that the Catholics of Tasmania do not intend to take any more of his insults. We do not forget, though he appears to do so, that he is a salaried employee of the public, and we are not prepared to pay our share of the public taxation to place men in remunerative positions that they may revile and calumniate us. I feel quite confident that the body of my fellow-citizens. will support my protest, for every deliberate attempt to inject the venom of religious bitterness into our common life should be treated by the public with the severity it deserves. Nor can I imagine that the members of the University Council will allow such a sorry combination of sneer and solecism to carry the hallmark of their approval, for there is no doubt that the whole affair gravely compromises the cultural reputation of the University of Tasmania.

( His Grace's words may. unfortunately, be applied to Universities other than Tasmania. Here in Perth we have inflicted on us from time to time, highbrowed scoffing at traditional beliefs, and practices which offend the moral sense of many students. A professor's private opinions on religion is his own affair, but he cannot abuse his public position to offend the religious susceptibilities of others. Already one professor has been brought to task eff ectively, but there are others who still seem to forget that they are paid by the taxpayers for a certain work, and that exclusively —least of all to cast aspersions on the religious beliefs of their students. The Anglican Bishop of Tasmania (Dr. Hay) support. eul Dr. Simonds by saving: "T am not surprised, from my experience with a certain matter with which I had to deal that the A rchbishop Hobart has found i t necessary to speak as he has." Dr. Hay added that it was not c2-00d that any section of a Chris tian c rrrnunitv should he attack ,,c1 within walls of an institution of learning.----Editor.)
