But you, apparently, wish to accept the record of a false charge as sufficient evidence that the charge was true. I cannot suspect you. of so little intelligence as to believe in your sincerity.

Yet with all this work he still f ound time to visit his friends, white as well as black ,in the local hospital and leper asylum, not to mention hearing confessions and saying Mass and looking after the temporal affairs of the Jesuit College.

The Jesuits spent themselves caring for the sick and dying. Claver—among others— caught the disease. For a long time everybody thought he would die. But he recovered—a trembling wreck of seventy, unable even to offer Mass. A negro servant was appointed to look after him, but he shamefully neglected his charge, bullying him incessantly, and even L.eating his meals. This went on unt:t September, 1654.

As always, the only explanation of this life of heroic mortification and of equally heroic labour is the Saint's love. He was head over heels in love—with Our Lord and Our Lady. Of him, perhaps more than of many others, it is true that he saw what he believed: He saw that the outcasts of this world were meant for heaven just as much as the lords and ladies of the Court of Spain. And this is his own special lesson, that the Catholic must not hate suffer;ng. (Indeed he must love it; net for its own sake, but because it may be used to purify the soul anl to lead it to God) ; but that he must love those who suffer—love t'em even to the extent of dying for them, or. what may be harder. living for them, because they, no less than he. are heirs t.) ihe Kingdom of Heaven.

Burgos, Avila, Salamanca and Seville have a power over the mind of man more potent than the spell of Chartres, or St. Mark's. One loves Chartres as Martha loved Lazarus before he died, but one loves Seville as Martha loved Lazarus after he had been raised from the dead. We are always in danger of taking beauty for granted, as if we had a right to Chartres, but in tragic Spain one takes nothing for granted. There a spring time freshness about the churches which have been saved, a blended beauty in which the wonder of the past is married tt: the surprise of a new discovery. For in the things one has almost lost one finds a loveliness which is hidden from the complacent eyes of secure possessin. "Too late have I loved thee," exclaimed St. Augustine, "thou beauty ever old and ever new." And as I knelt before one of the most glorious altars in Christendom I felt that its magic was a glorious extra, an Easter gift for which we had no rio-ht to hope.

She returned to Khartoum after the battle of Omdurman in 1898 and resumed her missionary work.
New Norcia Football SIC, WIN THE FINAL. On Sunday, September 5, the SIC. team travelled to Calingari, and defeated last year's premiers on their home ground. The match was fast and hard, although the last quarter was marred by a great deal of unneccessary crowding. The game was well handled by Mr. C. Grigg. J. Haynes won the toss for College and elected to kick with the advantage of a slight cross breeze. Calingari took the ball well away from the first bounce and a nice piece of work on the wing by B. Stone resulted in a major. The next ten minutes was spent in a lot of scrambling by the Calingari forwards, who were conspicuous by their inaccuracy. With five minutes to go, P Longmore took the ball up the wing t o P. Clarke, who goaled nicely. Stimolated by their first success and a change of ruck, College raised thrn more majors in the next three minutes from F. Clarke and R. Fitzgerald. First quarter scores: Calingari. 1 goal 5 behinds: College, 4 goals 5 behinds. The next quarter, probably the best of the game commenced with College going immediately into attack.

Corporate Prayer Catholic Spain United in Supplication "Iwill yet trust in Him" liv ARNOLD LUNN.) O RPQRATE Prayer is little more than a phrase in times of peace. It is difficult to pray and easy to let the mind wander. en in congregations which are e xcepti()nally devout. corporate Prayer. in the proper sense or t he term. is exceptional. Different people pray for. different t hings. I well remember the first time yr, which I was really conscious o f the authentic atmosphere of corporate Prayer. It was in a Cathedral at Munich at a time of .T, ra,.e anxiety for Catholics. Prie.-ts had been imprisoned. and t he Catholic schools had been t hreatened. A good many of t Ht congregation in Munich w onhl have been present at a Sunday Mass because it was their duty. hut this was a week-day I;ene(liction. and every one of w ho passed in from the - treets to the Cathedral had come to pray. And in their responses , ine heard the convincing accents „f :Inx;nlic prayer. have heard those accents since----manv times. In Burgos. in Avila, in Talavera and Seville I have felt this moving scpse, of a congregation held by a common grief, a common determination. and a common hope. In Munich there was every reason for anxiet V. hut the fate of those imprisoned priests though unenviable. was less tragic than the fate of t h,,se imprisoned in Red Spain. The shadow of this dread binds t he Catholics of Spain in a common supplication for a deliverifle a common evil, corporate prayer in the authentic sense of the term. It is not so much for themselves they are praying !nit Cur Spain. their brothers and sisters behind the enemy lines. for their menfolk at the front. and for the souls of those who have died that Spain max- live.

Thousands are saying that daily all over Spain, not for themselves but for those for whom this hour may prove to be the hour of their death.
"When the Devil was sick, the Devil a Saint would be." But if the Devil could have saintly ambitions even in moments of sickness. he might yet re-enter Heaven. And is it really so surprising that children at play should forget their mother. or so shocking that a child who falls and hurts himself should run to his mother for comfort? "Illos tuos misericordes oculos ad nos eonyerte." Which she does.
The Native Persecution is the native air of the Air of a fact The Church Church. which ve forget be-
cause we wish to forget it. There is no century in the Chrii4tian I ra which has not enriched the Christian martyrology. no country which has been wholly free from persecution. At the best the Church can only hope for an uneasy truce. Christianity was never meant to be a comfinlable r eligion. an uncomfortable fact which intrudes, like the ghost of a murdered conscience, in periods of comfortable security. It would be so nice if one could only believe that the growth of tolerance would gradually break down the harriers of prejudice which preetas Catholics being accepted as normal decent citizens by their neighbours. But the (Thurch encourages no such Utopian illusions. She insists, in her exacting fashion, that we should not only resign olrselyes to, but positively welcome with enthusiasm. every return of unpopularity. for it is discomfort, not se(-unity, which recalls the casual and carefree to their dependence on the supernatural. This is perhaps why the greatest prayers are those which are written in periods of dejection and persecution. The sense of dependence on the One Power which never fails is the mainspring of religious experience and is greatest when our human need for supernatural help is most evident. For this reason, prayers of thanksgiving are rare, and are seldom as convincing as prayers of supplication. It needed .a saint. St. Francis, to compose a prayer of thanksgiving for all the visible beauties of creation. But t he greatest of penitential psalms was the work of one of the greatest of sinners. Prayer flowers most easily in a climate of sorrow. The greatest prayers and the noblest hymns, Protestant no less than Catholic, are those which were written for times of trial, as, for instance, "Abide with Me" or Charles Wesley's hymn, "Come, wrestling-Jacob." The Catholic who assists at Mass in Spain need compose no halting prayer in his own words, for the theme of persecution is never long absent from the liturgy. The Mass opens with a prayer which every Spaniard can make his own. "Quare me repulisti et

quare tristis incedo dum affligit me inimicus." Then the note c hanges from despair to hope: "Spera in Deo quoniam adhuc confitebor illi." "I will yet trust in Him." There is something very human in that yet.

The Chesterton Bookshop and Veritas Library Paul McGuire's Latest. Members of the Chesterton Club who were fortunate enough to hear Mr. Paul McGuire when he gave a lunch-hour address at the Library some weeks ago, will be particularly eager to read his latest detective story, "Cry Aloud For Murder." It is an excellent mystery story, and one which compels you to read it quickly. There are other aspects of the book which are equally or more interesting to anyone knowing; this young South Australian author. Mr. McGuire unobtrusively introduces a little philosophy, and occasionally a moral, with Being a keen telling effect. student and a lecturer in economics and the social order, he occasionally puts some meaty remarks into the mouths of his characters: "I have known Letitia since we were both very young. Her mother had died when she was an infant, and het father had developed into one of He the country's characters. was quite a remarkable scholar, and he had written a contemporary survey of the lot of the agricultural class which is a minor classic, the best thing of its kind between Cobbett and Sturt. His views were thoroughly outrageous. He demanded, for instance, that the common fields of the English villages should be restored to the villagers and all the enclosures of three centuries swept away. He was a solitary figure in his time, because he insisted that men were men, and he talked in terms of moral responsibilities rather than of tendencies and directions and modes of production and the like. The poor of this country were robbed of their property. he would say the obvious duty of the people who hold it is to give it back to them." Letitia is an industrial psychologist with a medical degree. "She is not interested in saving the employers' money, although she has a neat and tidy mind which abhors waste. But she is interested in protecting the working girls from unnecessary fuss and bother and friction and loss of nervous energy and health." If you have listened carefully to that excellent series of broadcasts given on Monday nights on the subject of Catholics and Education, you will notice some of the expressions used occur in this detective story, and some of the background of the arguments too. "I have always thought it curious that our compulsory, popular e ducation, which is so concerned nowadays to teach almost anything from economics to eurythmics, gives so little attention to the moral bases of behaviour and to the rational bases of morals. For most of us morality has become only another name for conventionalism, or mere social habits which have only a temporary and a local reign." "I am . all for St. Thomas Aquinas when he says that sin is essentially the irrational, virtue the rational; and even though it might offend our more advanced educationalists to mention the names of the Schoolmen, in out schools, one cannot but wish ti t they might at least borrow the Scloolmen's ideas in these matters. Even if they lifted from St. Thomas without acknowledgment, he probably would not mind ; he knew a great deal about human nature, and especially about the very human natures of educationalists." (Veritas Library.)
"Propaganda." informative A particularly ,.A.C.T.S. pamphlet, on subjects of immediate importance, - and comprising three radio talks, Catholic broadcast from the Hour (Sundays, 9.10 p.m., Station 3AW, Melbourne), by Rev. Henry Johnston, S.J., M.A., under the title, "Truth, Falsehood, and Controversy." Developing the premise, "Injustice and falsehood are responsible for the greater part of the miseries which, at present, are afflicting mankind," the writer instances "The Press and the Spanish War." We in W --V recently had a glaring example of what the Press of Australia are constantly putting over—the exnun marries ex-priest business, which, on cabling to London, was established to be false. In fairness to the local paper, it must be stated a correction received (Inc publicity. Still we must not lose sight of the fact that -the newspapers of Australia are, no doubt, to a large extent at the mercy of foreign monopolist news agencies; and these are not. any more than international financiers, working primarily in the interests of trutli and justice. But to newspapers are certainly blame for the uncritical way in which obviously false and foolish reports are served out to the public." Why the constant insistence on Italian help and the constant attacks on Italy in 'the 'Australian Press (attacks often of a disgraceful character, and intolerable when directed against a nation Nv i t h whom we are supposed to be at peace), while so little em- • phasis is laid on the activity of France and Russia? And the Moors! For those who object to colour. the Moors are represented as black, though they are no darker than sunburnt Australians. At the present time France has more black troops in France ready for use than Franco has dark-skinned Moors (moreover, the Communists themselves first employed the Moors into Spain). If the hand and voice of the propagandist were ever clear, it is here. Dimitrov. Secretary-General to the Communist International. in his speech at the Seventh World Congress of the Communist International. said: "Only the Communist party is at bottom the initiator, the organiser, and the driving force of the United Front" (in Spain). Yet the local Press talk of "Loyalists" and "Rebels"! ! Many of the prominent English papers label them more in keeping with truth. "The Reds" and "The Nationalists." Has the local secular Press ever quoted the opinion of the Professor of Spanish at Liverpool University, E. Allison Peers long recognised as the leading English authority on Spain and her literature. For seventeen years he has spent three or four Months annually in Spain and knows it well. He is an Anglican. (Price 2d., at Chesterton Book Shop.) Business Hours.

Religious Profession at St. Joseph's Convent, Fremantle The impressive ceremony of Religious Profession took place at St. Joseph's Convent, Fremantle, on Saturday morning, August 28, Feast of St. Augustine, when Sister Mary Colette Gimblett had the long-desired happiness to make her vows of poverty, chastity and obedience, Sister M. Colette is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. Gimblett, of Wardie-street, South Fremantle, and formerly of South Wales. She is the second daughter of the family to enter the Order of the Sisters of St. Joseph. Very Rev. Father Ahearne, 0.M.I., Superior of the Oblate Fathers, officiated at the ceremony.

The Cathedral Branch of the Children of Mary is now enriched by t wenty-five of Mary's children; potential channels of God's grace, each one destined to extend round her an ever widening circle of good influence, if she keeps the promises made so sincerely during the solemn ceremony or consecration, which took place in St. Mary's Cathedral on the last Sunday in August. This impressive ceremony, usually held in the Sodality's private chapel, must have been an unusual and inspiring sight to the congregation present, The deluge, which had swept Perth during the day, obligingly ceased for an hour or two. Not one raindrop fell upon the virgin blue cloaks of those about to be consecrated; the wild August wind stopped its blustering and refrained from disarranging those carefully donned veils. One decade only of the Rosary was recited, on account of the lengthy proceedings, In full regalia all members of. the Sodality were present, those about to be received filling the front seats. All present were thee privileged to listen to an eloquent sermon by Rev. Father Moore, 0.M.I., who had been invited to speak on this occasion. Addressing the sodalists, he congratulated them upon their large numbers, His words were very inspiring and vigorous, bringing before the girls a new and vivid realisation of the high standard of ideals expected of a Child of Mary. Rev. Father Rafferty, assisted by Rev. Father Johnston, performed the ceremony. Candles were lit, and the girls holding their flickering tapers, answered the solemn cLuestions, and recited in clear voices the beautiful Act of Consecration. Uttering those words so familiar to Our Lady's Sodalists. Rey. Father Rafferty, assisted by the President. Miss K. Willoughby, placed over each veiled head the long desired blue ribbon and medal, the sign of her allegiance to our Holy Mother. When every girl had received this symbol of Our Blessed Lady's maternal interest and protection. each was in turn presented with a Manual containing the rules and counsels of the Society. Candles were then extinguished. and the privileged ones returned to their seats ready to lead a truly magnificent procession composed of about 140 girls attired in the livery of their. Queen. The strains of "Faith of Our Fathers- brought to an end one of the most impressive scenes of sacred pageantry enacted within our Cathedral walls.

Among Our aocieties : $t. Kevin's Branch, Subiaco. Bro. -Stokes, president, presided over the usual meeting of the above branch held on Thursday, 2nd. inst., and it was his duty to initiate a new member during the course of the evening. Before the conclusion of the meeting a team from St. Brigid's arrived, and the business was dispensed with as quickly as possible. The match resulted in a very definite victory for S t. Kevin's in both the table tennis and the quoits. The former, however was notable for some excellent play on the part of the visitors and our home team. This was our final match, and though we were successful, the victory will avail us nought, as we are already out of the finals. However, the evening was most enjoyable, and we were treated to a high standard of play.

Unity Without the Price
p
ROM IN ENT delegates from Europe and America are gathering in Perth next week in Educational Conference. Among them is the President of St. John's College. Oxford, Dr. Cyril Norwood, who has been airing his views on religion and education recently in the Eastern States. A world authority in matters educational, he reveals a lamentably confused knowledge of the meaning of religion In a recent statement he supports the association of religion with education. but goes on to say that by religion he does not mean denominationalism in any shape or form, nor is he quite certain that he would restrict it even within the confines of Christianity ! To him religion is love, truth, goodness and beauty, no matter how much people differ in dogmatic beliefs. Such statements are merely attempts to gain the advantages of unity without paying the price of unity. They are based on the spirit of compromise. which is entirely alien to the spirit of Christianity' and the Church. * * * * No one would dream of stating 'in the realm of science that differences of opinion muss take precedence of the truth. Yet here is a distinguished educationist repeating parrot-like the fallacy of the age which is willing to grant that we are none of us seriously,in error. and urges us to treat our differences as accidental handicaps. calling for more genial exercise of patience and compromise. This willingness to accept all religions is the most baneful form of irreligion. for such indifferentism is tantamount to a denial of their necessity. Conviction of error is a pre-requisite for conversion to the truth, but Dr. Norwood and his fellow thinkers will not admit error at any cost. If Catholics place little faith in such educationists, it is not from any lofty indifference to their efforts; it is because of their firm conviction that the secular issue is the least important factor in education.

THE RECORD
FOURTEEN
N a collective letter, addressed to the Catholic Bishops throughout the world. the Spanish Hierarchy state that during the civil war twenty thousand churches have been destroyed ot plundered by the Reds; that ten Bishops and six thousand secular priests were murdered, that more than three hundred thousand laymen have been (lone to death chiefly for their religious beliefs. That is an appalling catastrophe. likely to tax the credulity even of the most bitter enemy of the Reds, were it not that the statement is signed by over forty members of the Spanish Hierarchy. Vindivating the Nationalist rising, the Bishops declared that Spain had no other alternative than this—either to perish in the destrucstructive assault of Communism, or to attempt a titanic effort ot resistance. The main blame is placed upon Russian Communism. • When early in 1936 the Popular Front triumphed in Spain, the Russian komintern resolved to set the Spanish Revolution in motion, and financed it with exorbitant sums of money. The time was ripe. For the Constitution was definitely secularistic, and constituted an irreligious attack on the national conscience. For the five years previous it had flouted the religious and social sensibilities of the masses, and was already in league with Russia in a scrupulously prepared scheme to conquer the country for Communism. Before the Reds were fully prepared to carry their nefarious design into effect, the national conscience, seeing all legal and constitutional means of redress exhausted. revolted with Franco. Catholic Spain had no other alternative than to fight for her religious and political freedom. Had it not unmasked . the Marxian anarchists preserving the appearance of the Popular Front, when it did, Spain. already the victim of the most dreadful scourge in its history, night never have been able to restore the blessings of peace and religion, which now seem assured in the triumph of the National Government.
Euthanasia
N a Bill recently introduced into the House of Lords, another attempt is being made to legalise euthanasia. The late Lord Moynihan and the Euthanasia League were responsible, and it is claimed that about seventy members of the medical profession favour it. If doctors accede to the patient's wish, to be saved from a painful death, they are, as the law now stands, guilty of And so these protagonists of euthanasia the crime of murder. wish to have the existing law altered so that the passing of a perIt son afflicted with an incurable disease might be expedited. has received strongest opposition in the House of Lords from Lord Horder, a distinguisehed non-Catholic physician, whose arguments are now published in a volume of essays entitled "Health and a Day." There is nothing new in Lord Horder's exposition. It is: the Catholic teaching on the value of human life. * * * * There is no such prerogative as the "right to die," for life is a God trust for which we must in due course give an account. alone has supreme power over life and death, and no plausible humanitarian reasons can override it.

Sisters of St. John Bereaved DEATH OF SISTER M, AID AN. The death occurred at the Hospital of St. John of God. Subiaco, on Saturday, September 4, of Sister M. Aidan, for 39 years a member of the Community of the Sisters of St. John of God. The deceased Sister, who had been in failing health for some time, was widely known as a member of the Nursing Staff, both at Subiaco and Kalgoorlie. For some years she was Superioress of the branch house at Kalgoorlie, and for the past 8 years w as in charge of the up-to-date X-Ray Department at Subiaco. In this, as in all spheres of hospital work, she was most painstaking and efficient, and the many patients whom she tended, as well as the Sisters of her Community., will undoubtedly mourn her passing. Born in Kilkenny sixty years ago, she had spent the greater part of her life in the service of religion in Western Australia, and in common with her religious companions of these early days, did much to give the nursing profession in this State the high prestige which it now holds in the cause of charity. To the Sisters of St. John of God, and to her relatives in Ireland, and to her brother, Rev. Father Murphy, of Kilkenny, "The Record" extends its deep sympathy. Requiem. Mass was celebrated on Monday morning, 6th, inst., in the Convent Chapel. The Vicar General,. Right Rev. Monsignor Fagan, was the celebrant, in the absence of His Grace Archbishop Prendiville, who is attending the Plenary Council at Sydney He was assisted by Rev. Father Brennan and Rev Father Lyne. the Chaplain at the Hospital. The Priests' Choir sang the music of the Mass, which was attended by representatives of the various religious communities from the metropolitan area, The funeral took place afterwards to the Community burial ground at Karrakatta„ where, in the presence of a large and representative gathering, the deceased Sister was laid to rest beside those pioneer Sisters who had gone before. Very Rev. Father O'Neill officiated at the graveside. The pall-bearers were Messrs. J. R. Campbell, T. Hackett, F. Connaughton, M. Cranky, J. Ryan and P. Clohesy. Amongst the priests -present were. Very Rev. Dean Brennan, Rev Father Murrav, C.SS.R., Rev. Father Crowley.. Rev, -Father O'Gorman, Rev. Father. McCormack, Rev. Father J. O'Reilly., Rev. Father Fahey, Rev. Father Doddy, Rev.

Sacred Heart Sodality. Last Sunday night was a red-letter night for the members of this Sodality, when almost 200 members were enrolled with much splendour and solemnity. The Church was crowded when the ceremony began and it was a wonderful demonstration of Faith to witness such a magnificent procession of members kneeling at the foot of the altar, receiving their medals and pledging their loyalty to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. We hope that many of those who saw this ceremony will follow the example of the new members, so that when another three months have passed we will have the pleasure of enrolling another 200 members. 4.44•4144~41••••••••••••••;€4-0k

Last Tuesday night the usual fortnightly dance was held in the Parish Hall. This dance is proving very popular as the season goes on, judging by the very large attendance. The committee is still working very hard, and with Mrs. Smith's excellent band, a perfect floor, and supper, there is no reason why the dance cannot continue to be just as good, if not better. The next dance will be held next Tuesday week, September 21, so don't forget to come along and be with the nice people at St. Brigid's. The past students' basket-ball team has done very well in the association again this year. Next Saturday they play Cole's in the semi-finals, Members of the team are T. Hughes, M. French, Marq Stewart, Mary Duffy, J. Slavin, N. Devlin, Marie O'Brien. We extend to them our hearty congratulations. On Tuesday next, September 14, Mrs. P. F. Burke is holding a bridge evening in St. Brigid's Parish Hall at 8 o'clock. Prizes will be given for bridge and rummy, and card players are assured of an enjoyable evening nd an excellent supper. As this function is to aid the Sisters, the Catholic r:•ommunity. and particularly the parishioners of West Perth, are cordially invited to attend and bring as many friends as possible with them.

The Westralian Farmers Limited, Wellinron-street, Perth, report under date September 8, 1937, as follows: Wheaten Chaff: Although supplies have not been heavy, values are eas. ier than when we went to press last, the nominal value of f.a.q. to prime to-day being £.5 15s to £6 per ton. Oaten Chaff: In sympathy with the wheaten, this line is also easier, there being enquiries for f.a.q. samples at from £5 lOs to £5 12s 6d per ton. Oats: The market is dull with poor enquiry, feed oats during the week realising from 2/2 to 2/44 per bushel. similar quality to-day only realising from 2/01 to 2/2 per bushel. Wheat: Supplies are about equal to the demand, with values still remaining practically the same, the nominal value of f.a,q. being 5/2 to 5/2/ per bushel. ANSWER TO CORRESPONDENT.

Study of Social Problems Business Brings Deplorable Cleavage in Conscience "The evil which torments humanity can be conquered by prayer and penance."
Prayer and Penance. 59. But "unless the Lord keep the city, he watcheth in vain that keepeth it." And so, as a final and most efficacious remedy, We r ecommend, Venerable Brethren, that in your dioceses you use the most practical means to foster and intensify the spirit of prayer, joined with Christian penance. When the Apostles asked the Saviour why they had been unable to drive the evil spirit from a demoniac, Our Lord answered: "This kind is not cast out but by prayer and fasting." So, too, the evil whiCh to-day torments humanity can be conquered only by a world-wide holy crusade of prayer and penance. We ask especially the contemplative Orders, men and women, tO redouble their prayers and sacrifices to obtain from heaven efficacious aid for the Church in the present s truggle.

They try perfidiously to worm their way even into professedly Catholic religious and organisations. Again, without receding an inch from their subversive principles, they invite Catholics to collaborate with them in the realm of socalled humanitarianism and charity: and at times even make proposals that are in perfect harmony with the Christian spirit and the doctrine of the Church. Elsewhere they carry their hypocrisy so far as to encourage the belief that Communism, in countries where faith and culture are more strongly entrenched, will assume another and much milder form.

There are many claims._ Here is one, It is stated that in the second century Cathire More, King of Ireland, left behind him "about fitty halls of brass with the pools and cues of the same material." The same authority refers to the travels of A nachrarsis through Greece 400 B.C., during which he saw a game analagous to billiards. French authorities differ as to whether their country can claim its origin, though the name suggests this.

She wishes to know how matters stand with regard to Michael Creenan's defence." The lawyer's face fell, but he answered briskly enough: We "Very well, indeed, sir. shall du our best to get him off." "But do you think you will succeed?" "I hope 60, sir, but the law's a quare thing, and the evidence is It's unlucky that rather ugly. the prisoner and the murdered man came to words before the deed was done, and on the other hand it's lucky that the young lady sticks to it that the prisoner is innocent. We'll work that for all it's worth, never fear! Our leading counsel, Mr. Docherty, would make a pig cry when, he touches the sentimental stop, let alone a jury!" "You are aware," I said, "that the prosecution has subpoenaed Father Anthony, the prisoner's brother?" "Yes," replied Mr. OTlannigan, "but I've seen the priest's (lepositions and they can do no harm, for when he's cross-examined we shall be able, I think, to show that the prisoner was too fond of the daughter to raise his hand against the father." I hesitated, and looked quietly in the lawyer's face. • "Honestly. now, what is your opinion of the case?" The little man raised his hands in stupefaction. "My opinion? I have no opinion. I take the evidence and I sift it for what it's worth. I think it's a bad case. and I think it's a good case. It's a toss-up, sir, and afl I ask is that luck will send us a good-timpered judge and a tinder -hearted jury!" I wished Mr. O'Flannigan good-day, and hastened back to the gaol, determined, if possible. to have a few private words with the prisoner.

Nature's Demand Vindicates Catholic Position
THE
link to the highonly by achieved is God of er life discipline, stated the Right Rev. Mgr. Fulton Sheen, the famous American controversialist, writing in the "Sunday Visitor." Individual discipline at its highest peak is the religious life. Social discipline in its most gzneral form is matrimony, though there are few who think of it as such. It is a discipline because it demands of both husband and wife loyalty, fidelity and sacrifice, t hrough sickness and health, joy and sorrow, poverty and affluence until death do them part.
Why Church Insists. the that Everyone knows Church takes most seriously the words of Our Blessed Lord, "What therefore God hath joined together, let no man put asunder;" but there are few who know why she is so insistent on the sanctity of the marriage bond. She has two reasons for such emphasis—one drawn from the natural order and the other from the supernatural order. In the natural order, love is permanent and abiding. In the language of love there are only two thoughts—you alone, and always. In the hieroglyphics of love there is only one symbol— two hearts cut and interlocked in something stable and permanent. like an oak tree. In the history k. . of love there is but one supreme devotion—the love of offspring. Children Need Parents. It is a well-known observable fact that higher animals require a much longer parental care than lower animals; the lower animals may therefore desert their offspring immediately after birth. But with a human father and mother the situation is quite different. The child has to be cared for not only physically but mentally as yell. The more things there are for the child to learn the longer the child must r emain at the natural school for learning them, and the longer his t eachers must postpone the dissolution of their partnership. In vain does one say that the Function of teaching can be fulfilled adequately by the State. f or the State cannot be the nurse in every nursery, nor the Government the governess in every
There is only one playroom. place where the human tradition can be developed, and that is the home there are only two persons who can love those whom the State does not think worth loving. and they are the father and mother. Children Reciprocate Love. The moment we realise the child can attain the full development of heart and mind and soul only through the ministrations of those who love like parents, and not through those who only superintend like the State. the more we see why the relation between the sexes must remain normally static and permanent. Even when the education of the child has been completed and it grows into its own separate life, there develops in it a high sense of honour towards those who brought it into being. Every reasonable man and woman realises how much they cost their parents in terms of care Some, perhaps, and sacrifice. never realise this completely until they themselves have children. But in varying degrees all feel the need of "going back home" to pay loving tribute to a kind father and loving mother. The parents, too, in their old age, look to the children whom the mother nourished with her substance and the father with his labour, and whose successive birthdays mark not only the mile• stones of years, but the increase of love for their own flesh an4 Thus the sense of non blood. our in children NvIlich makes them conscious of the debt of love to their parents. and the in parents need of sympathy which makes them crave the tribute of their children's affection equally suggest that only a union that death alone can break can fully respond to the needs of the human heart.

ITHIN a few days of his appointment by Archbishop McNicholas as head of a committee of priests to act in labour disputes, Father Edward Freking appeared in court as a witness in an injunction suit in which employers were seeking to stop picketing by strikers in a local garment manufacturing concern.

In statements to the newspapers, Father Freking vindicated the strike and charged the employers with failure to pay a living wage. Father Freking has already acted as arbitrator in several industrial disputes.
