Christ and War Secretary, Socratic Club, Sydney: Y our answers to a certain member of our club concerning the Church's attitude to war really leave one essential fact untouched. Let us have it. Jesus of Nazareth himself did actually have to face a situation in which force could have been used for defence. I am glad to notice your acceptance of the historical value of the Gospels on this matter at least. This was, of course, at Gethsemane, when He bade Peter sheathe the sword by means of which he might have defended the "Son of God." That incident occurred. Christ forbade Peter to defend Him by means of the sword. Now Peter surely loved his Master. Ire did.
if He really wanted to escape He could easily do so, if only by commanding "twelve legions rn angels" to defend Him. It should be obvious to you that Christ was not attacking the right of armed self-defence in general.
something definite. As the same principles apply to your "miraculous image" incident as to the recruiting poster, I can omit that section of your letter, and spare listeners further irrelevancies. So let us turn to your next point.
Religion and Recruiting.
The Church and Warfare.
Are you aware that recruiting posters in Milan during the Italo-Abyssinian campaign depicted the Virgin Mary, with the Infant Christ in her arms, seated on top of a tank, and surrounded by an escort of soldiers and aeroplanes?
The fact is that your Church, and all its step-children, officially proclaim that warfare is not incompatible with the mind of Christ.
I was not aware of that. But if it were true, what precise point do you wish to make? If you disapprove of such posters, 1 have no objection to your doing so. But surely, in your most extravagant moments, you did not think that a disproof of the truth of the Catholic religion! If religious ideas are misused, that does It not prove the ideas wrong. at most shows that some people

War? Never, in the past three centuries, has any Christian Church ever denounced any war upon which its adherents were about to embark. You are very emphatic. Tell me, if you can, of any case of this sort where the Church has spoken. After asserting emphatically that a thing has never happened, it is a little late to ask humbly for information as to whether it did or not. Your questions, too, The are again inconsequent. judgment that warfare is incompatible with the mind of Christ does not logically demand a judgment that this or that particular war has no justifying reasons on one side or the other, or from the viewpoint of individual combatants.

The Popes and Peace. Within the last 300 years, however, we have the Peace of Westphalia under Pope Innocent X., in 1648—a peace which was effective for nearly 140 years, and which your friend Lord Acton described as 'one of the glories of the Papacy." In 1885, at the request of Bismarck, Pope Leo XIII. arbitrated 'between Germany and Spain in the dispute about the Caroline Islands, and his influence resulted in a peaceful settlement. In 1914 Pope Pius X. condemned the World War from its very inception; and in 1915 Pope Benedict XV., re-condemned it as a crime of immense magnitude. Pope Benedict was thereupon accused by Germany of being proAlly; and by the Alllies of being pro-German. And Italy, France, Russia and England drew up the London Pact of 1915, by which they agreed that no attention must be paid to any efforts of the Vatican to terminate the war. In 1935 Pope Pius XI. declared that any invasion of Abyssinia by Italy which went beyond the needs of just defence, and was based upon ideas of expansion and aggressive conquest, would be quite unjust. But the world has decided that its court should he the League of Nations, and not the Holy See. Evidence was submitted to Geneva. not to Rome; and the Pope was called upon to utter a definite judgment on a particular case which was sub judice at Geneva. He could do no more than condemn the war mind and the spirit of aggression as anti-Christian. and declare that, if Italy's campaign was dictated by such motives, it would be unjust. I cannot go more fully into these matters. But I have said enough to give
you some idea of the Catholic attitude to war—an evil to be averted by all possible means. •

The Finest Product of the Vine
Catholic Church and Scripture Unity, Sydney: In explaining the Bible, you said that, of all books, it is the most difficult to understand. Correct. At the same time you said that the Catholic Church alone has arrived at a true understanding of its meaning. That is not a correct presentation of the position adopted by the Catholic Church. There is no question of the Catholic Church "arriving at" a true understanding of Scripture. Before a line of the Gospels were written, Christ established His Church, taught her His essential doctrines, sent the Holy Spirit of Truth upon her on the day of Pentecost, and commissioned her to go and to teach all nations orally and with authority. Later on, under the inspiration of the same Holy Spirit the books of the New Testament were written. Now, as one and the same Holy Spirit could not contradict Himself, it is certain that nothing in the Bible will contradict the official teachings of the Church commissioned by Christ to teach all nations. If independent people arrive at an interpretation of the Bible which conflicts with the official teaching of the Catholic Church, then they are mistaken. and have arrived at a wrong interpretation of its meaning.

of those who have it, or to secure economic security for those who have it not. Surely you desire the latter. You may say that the latter cannot be secured, unless the economic security of ecclesiastics be destroyed. But there you are in error. It is a great mistake to think that the economic security of ecclesiastics is the cause of the impoverishment of the masses; and a still greater mistake to think that destruction the economic security that of would mean any appreciable advantage to the millions of the poor in this world. The causes of social inequalities and of the uneven distribution of this world's goods go far deeper than you imagine. And, in your superficial estimate, you are flogging the wrong horse. Facing Our Duties. Let us be honest with ourselves, and face the facts. I desire nothing better. Bu t I do ask that, when we talk of facing the facts, we first make sure that we have got the facts. Your confidence that you had the facts about Christianity despite your not understanding it at all, does not favourably dispose one to accept you as a reliable authority in other matters. Let us take up the cross in the cause of suffering humanity. To all who have not yet done so that is excellent advice. A self-sacrificing devotedness to the needs of our fellow men for the love of God badly needs extending. But I must ask you to believe that this is not a new discovery, and also to believe that thousands have given their lives to the work who do not happen to be known to you.

Pope Prophecies England Will Be Catholic p BISHOP SAYS VISIONS DID NOT OCCUR AT V OLTAGO.
Prophetic words about England's return to the Catholic Faith were spoken by the Holy Father to the 120 English, Irish, Scots and Welsh pilgrims who arrived back in England some weeks ago, after an audience at Castel Gandolfo. His Holiness praised the splendid fidelity to the Faith of Catholic England and said it was his earnest prayer that the strayed sheep would return to the fold. Speaking with emotion, the Holy Father concluded with these words: "They will return. I do not say 'Fiat' (may it be done), but Tiet' (it will be done)." Resounding cheers greeted the prophecy. Preceded by the Swiss Guards the Holy Father was borne 'Tab the audience hall amid acclama tions of "Long live the Pope!" His Holiness spoke in a very firm, clear voice. In response to the acclamations he said he felt the burden of his advancing years, and that before long he would be called to depart. He greeted those gathered before him and said he hoped to greet them again in the life to conic.

Mr. Matsuoka argued necessity—Japan's necessity of self-defence in view of the chaotic condition of China. The Japanese refused to accept the report.

It was, then, against a vast and well-entrenched organisation that Marshal Chiang Kai-Chek had to wage a relentless struggle under very difficult conditions. In 1931 he dismissed the Far East Bureau of the Komintern from China, and followed this up by a series of sensational arrests which included the Chinese Secretary of the Communist Party, Hsiang lisung-fah, and Voitsoff. The Communists of the coast were thrown into disorder, and just before the outbreak of hostilities in 1932 with Japan, the principal centres of China—Nanking, Tientsin, Shanghai, Peking and Hankow— had been purged of undesirable elements. Since that time, Chiang Kai-Chek has waged unceasing war for the purpose of freeing; China from Communist domination. In addition to this, he has to maintain the prestige of China against Japan.

Lord gives a clear explanation ef the Sacrament of Matrimony, its purpose. sacredness and its duties. They're married . . . and they live happily ever after. It can be true of a Christian marriage. Fr. Lord shows how. Those contemplating marriage, and married couples, will find it profitable. • • • "WHY NOT BE A PRIEST?" "Why Not be a Priest?" by Fr. Gearon, is a practical booklet to help the boy or young man who is thinking of a vocation. It is a timely pamphlet, for to-day the need of priests for Australia is great, and greater still are the needs of the Foreign Missions Shepherds are needed to care for the sick lambs of the flock. This pamphlet, placed in the hands of parents or boys at school, may help them to give a ready answer to the Master's call, "Come, follow Me." • • • "WORLD PEACE." The third pamphlet for the month is "World Peace." Buy. read and distribute this. At the moment the shadow of war is over our whole social and political life. Every leader is proclaiming his zeal for peace, yet there was never such a race in armaments. Contemplating this, the Catholic realises not merely the physical and material ends of war, but the far graver spiritual consequences which flow from it. As a follower of the Prince of Peace, he knows that the only way to secure ultimate peace is by uprooting the spirit of war in the souls of men. It is the duty of Catholics to co-operate in the work of organising world peace. and to remember that various peace organisations in the world to-day are but subtle movements for the spread of Communism. The Soviet Union, whose aim is to foment class war' in every land, is regarded by many as the outstanding champion of peace. and here in Australia many identify the cause of "liberty and peace- with that of its Revolution. The latest development of the Communist "peace" racket is the International Peace Campaign (I.P.C.1 Among the miscellaneous bodies which compose it, those connected with Communism are dominant. This pamphlet by Mr. Jackson should be read by every Catholic, and should be distributed widely among those outside the Church. It shows how peace movements are used as propaganda for insidious forces, and lays down how the peace of Christ can reign in a warring world.

CA Great Catholic CAdventure THE FRENCH IN CANADA N these days when Communists, Nazis and Fascists are engaged in planned enonomies and large scale social experiments that create intense interest, it is worth while to realise that a Catholic community, the French in Canada, have, for the past three hundred years, been developing economic and social c onditions far superior to those of either the Communist or Totaltarian States. The French first appeared in Canada in 1534, when the expedition led by Jacques Cartier, devout Catholic and sturdy mariner, landed at Point Gaspe, erected a cross 30 feet high, and claimed the land in the name of "Christ and France." The "Father of Canada," Samuel Champlain, arrived in 1608 with the first party of colonists and founded Quebec. Seven years later the first Mass was celebrated in Canada, and in 1625, with the arrival of the pioneer Jesuits, there began a missionary enterprise that is one of the chief glories of that Order. The first fifty years of colonisation was a tempestuous ordeal. Pioneering means heavy and constant drudgery, the colonists depended on France for supplies, and were frequently faced with starvation; the winters are long and severe, so it is not surprising that at times there was dissatisfaction and rebellion. Worst of all were the Indians, the Iroquois, implacable enemies of both the French and their friendly allies, the Hurons. There were desperate struggles with the savages, in which men, women and children had to fight for their lives; often Quebec echoed with the war yells of the red-skins who at times were at the barricades and under the guns of the fort. -French Policy in Canada. The policy of the French in Canada was to win the natives to the Faith, to develop in this new land a Christian civilisation to compensate the Church for losses in Europe. The development of the fur trade, fishing and agriculture was a secondary consideration. Quebec and Montreal were outposts of the Church from which the Jesuits travelled to the tribal lands. One of their first journeys was 900 miles by river and forest track; they shared in carrying the burdens. lived on Indian food, endured the cold, lived with the savages. Often the reward was to die after horrible tortures at the hands of those they sought to lead to Christian liberty; the soil of Canada is liberally sprinkled with the blood of these martyrs. Wolfe conquered Quebec in 1659. and Canada became an English colon . immigration from France ceased, and to many colonists it must have looked as though all their hopes and plans and ambitions had crashed. The peace settlement, however, provided that the colonists were to retain their language. religion and local laws. Sixty thousand "pc French Catholics were thus cut off from their homeland and had to adjust themselves to new conditions. Divine Providence makes no The disaster of the mistakes. English conquest cut new France
(By JOHN JEFFERS.) off from the homeland; in later years France was racked by revolution and wars, France went Republic, later on there was talk of escorting God to the frontier, in our own time tens of thousand of Frenchmen demonstrate with their left fists in the air. But French Canada has gone on steadily with the serious business of developing a Christian civilisation. The French Canadians to-day are French-speaking Ca-

tholics, and Communism fails to make any headway there to-day, just as a generation back economic liberalism failed to take root. Natural Population Increase. The 60,000 of 1659 have increased to 3,000,000, a natural increase not assisted by immigration from France. Quebec Province of 700,000 square miles is from a material point of view the most prosperous province,, and from it comes all that is best in Canadian culture. Its population is nine-tenths Catholic; Quebec city. of 100,000, is a Catholic city; Montreal, with 1,000,000 population, is 75 per cent. Catholic. The French Catholics have the farms and small businesses throughout the Province; they spill over the border into U.S.A., but do not go in numbers to the western provinces. Champlain established French law in Canada, including the feudal land tenures and forms of property. Though these have been modified, Quebec has developed a land tenure which makes possible a stable and prosperous peasant class. Australia, in contrast, developed land tenures that made the land merchandise for speculators and money-lenders, which has produced continual booms, bursts, and slumps. The backbone of Quebec Province is the peasant, or farmer, or, as he is called there, the "habitant." From father to son they have retained peasant methods of production. The labour on the farm is performed by the family who feed and clothe themselves
at the point of production. The Department of Agriculture is so impressed with the sound policy of the peasant in retaining the spinning wheel and weaving loom that it is now training over 7,000 students in those crafts. Training is also given in rustic furniture making, pottery and metalware. The habitant never took kindly to industrialised farming, and so has never had the boom and slumps that makes mdusrrialised agriculture in Australia such a hectic gamble. Need of a Prosperous Peasantry. Canada, like Australia, has crashed badly because of war debts and price deflation, but Quebec Province has weathered the storm better than any part of the English speaking world. Faced with the collapse of capitalistic civilisation the best minds in the world now face the fact that a stable and prosperous peasantry is an essential for national existence and stability. Name any country in Europe and you will find that the welfare of the peasant is in the front of any programme of social reconstruction. Russia is plunging into a huge experiment of reducing 14,000,000 peasant holdings into mechanised collectivist units, Turkey has confiscated huge areas for distribution among the landless peasant class. The Azana Government in Spain was elected in 1936 on a land confiscation programme. Britain is subsidising agriculture and U.S.A. has poured out fabulous sums in a desperate attempt to save agriculture. Mussolini puts the peasant first in the Fascist plans and boasts that Italy will carry another ten million population w hen the Fascist rural plan is developed. Germany has converted the peasant holdings into hereditary farms which can pass from father
to son, but cannot be sold, leased, mortgaged or seized by creditors. Production is left to private initiative, but marketing distribution, and the prices of peasant products are controlled. The technocratic efficiency of the peasant is secondary to the stability and prosperity of the peasant class, who ar me base of national life. A Definite Success. We have no guarantee that the e xperiments of Communistic or Totalatarian States will succeed —the human factor may defeat the best laid plans. But the policy of the French Catholics in Canada is a definite success; it has been a long and slow development, and has stood the test of time. A population of 60,000 do not increase to 3,000.000 unless they have economic security— Australia lacks economic security and so there is race suicide. Australia is perishing, but the French Canadians are a flourishing race, who may yet swami) Canada by sheer weight of numbers. The developments in Canada have taken place without sacrifice of individual liberty, or family right, without intimidation or sabre rattling. The best brains of Europe are seeking to lift European communities to a level already achieved by the French Canadians, Quebec Province is no land of indolence and ease. Only a race inured to labour and hardship can increase and multiply and carry on Christian civilisation in that land, or any land. But Quebec Province is a demonstration that a Catholic race can overcome all obstacles and develop a Christian civilisation that is definitely superior to what has been elsewhere developed under Capitalism, Communism, or the Totalatarian State.

For Life and Liberty
ODERN warfare, so different in other respects, has at least this much in common with the classic campaigns of Greece and Rome. The advent of winter in Spain will have an important bearing on the progress of the war. Already it looks as if Franco's troops will be compelled to go into winter quarters. w ithout accomplishing the complete conquest of the country. The latest reports imply that military operations are being hampered by wintry weather, diminishing the chances of a complete Nationalist victory before the Spring. In that victory, final and complete, lies the only road to civil and religious liberty. * * * * Franco recently made a speech strongly implying that he would favour the restoration of the Spanish Throne, not to Alfonso XIII., but to his third son, the Infante Don Juan, adding: "Certainly if the Monarchy is restored it will be very different from that of 1931, both in character and person." Statistically the first year of the civil war ended with a loss to Spain conservatively estimated at three hundred million pounds, although many authorities place the figures much higher. The Holy Father recently vouched for the statistic that 80 per cent, of all Jesuit priests in Spain have been slain by the Leftists. And the Spanish Hierarchy stated that ten Bishops and six thousand secular priests, and more than three hundred thousand laymen have been done to death. All were moved by a noble patriotism when they rose against Republicans, Socialists, Anarchists and Communists. * * * * But prejudice, like the seven-headed dragon, dies hard. It is still the fashion in editorials to represent Franco and his fol lowers as rebels, and the authors of all Spain's present woes. They would have us believe that the innocent Reds are harmless fellows, who have had no hand at all in the enumerated tragedies. Now the actual situation is quite the contrary. Franco and his colleagues knew with certainty that the SPanish Leftists, actively aided by Moscow, had completed all arrangements to seize the Government and convert it into a Communist regime. Franco merely beat the Reds to the draw. He is fighting to prevent the rape of traditional Spain. Responsibility for the holocaust lies with those who planned it.

HE mills of God grind slowly. Not so the British divorce mills, now that the House of Lords has approved Punchcomedian A. P. Herbert's Bill granting divorce for desertion. cruelty and insanity, in addition to the historic ground of adultery. The victory of the divorcers marks the culmination of a process begun by Henry VIII., when the marrying monarch disembarrassed himself of Anne Boleyn by Act of Parliament. Throughout the eighteenth and first half of the nineteenth centuries, divorce by legislative enactment increased by leaps and bounds, though the high costs still kept it the exclusive privilege of the upper classes. * * * * The Divorce Law of 1857, setting up civil courts with full jurisdiction in marriage cases, provided a democratic way out from the marriage bond for all alike. But the grounds were still too few and the legislation has been bombarded periodically with new The Conservative Lords resisted every thrust until proposals. the last, which will modernise backward England up to the enlightened standard of America, where Reno sets the mode. "When standards of conduct are changed, opponents of the change always appeal to God and the Bible," sarcastically commented Lord Dawson, on Catholic opposition, thus confirming the conviction that this latest move is simply a concession to a semi-pagan community.
Household Gods
OME preliminary reports of the Education Conference suggest the abolition or drastic curtailment of homework, giving some of our more popular papers an opportunity for headlines about children's charters and the freedom of the school. Nobody can doubt that independent work at home has a value all its own. But the real trouble about homework lies more in the home than in the work. The restoration of old-fashioned domesticity would do much to reduce the difficulties of homework, of which complaint is made, for many homes are unsuitable for it because of lack of peace and quiet. To a greater extent is it true that if religion were restored to the home, its absence would never be tolerated in the school.

Consequences of Treason
T has not taken long for the Holy Father's words in regard to Russia to be once more exemplified. In "Divini Redemptoris" he wrote: "After all, even the sphere of economics needs some morality, some moral sense of responsibility which can find no place in a system so thoroughly materialistic as Communism. Terrorism is the only possible substitute." That terrorism reigns to-day in Russia. Its latest phase suggests that Stalin can no longer trust the Red Army. The date of revolution and dissolution of the Soviet can be delayed by terrorism, but not prevented. A cynic might be pardoned for smiling at some of the consequences of its dissolution. France and Britain have founded their foreign policy on support of Russia, thus making enemies of Italy and Germany. The collapse of Russia would make them the easy prey of these two Powers. It would be a just nemesis for their treason to the faith and civilisation which made them.

ANNUAL SPRING BALL. The third annual Spring Ball, con ducted by St. Thomas' Tennis Club, in the My-ola Hall, Claremont, on Wednesday night last, was a distinct success. Despite the showery nature of the weather, the hall was filled to capacity at an early hour. The committee had promised to make this an outstanding event of the season, and the several hundred patrons who attended testified to its success. The proceeds are to be devoted to the building fund of the recently completed parish Church of St. Thomas, Ron Jenkins' dance band was in attendance, and consequently the music was all that could be desired. The hall was tastefully decorated with spring blossoms, whilst the floor itself was in excellent condition. The supper arrangements were carried out by the ladies, who have already won fame as the caterers of the annual Wattle Ball, and this year their efforts were well up to standard. The main feature of the evening was the presentation of eight male debutantes to Rev. Father Fahey and Miss Dorothy Tangney. After making their curtsey they performed a dance. Miss Tangney was presented with a bouquet of daffodils, a token of appreciation from the ballet. Miss B. Northrop and Miss E. Chandler gave an exhibition tap dance during the evening. The committee responsible for the success of the ball included Miss Dorothy Tangney, organiser; Mesdames T. Nunan, P. Hepburn, J. Doughney, W. Murphy, R, Smith, E. Tangney, ). Prest, Leunig, McCormack, Day; Misses Mary Leunig, Marie Anderson, Messrs. Kevin and Frank Ryan, William Murphy and Kevin Tangney.

On Sunday, Rev. Dr. McMahon will continue his course of lectures on the Mass. A feature of these instructions is the efficient dramatisation of the Mass by the children of the parochial schools. The members of the Holy Name Society are to be congratulated on the fine attendance last Sunday at both Holy Communion and evening devotions. The Spring Carnival, held last Thurs. day, was a notable success, both from a social and financial aspect. On Tuesday, 21st. inst., a bridge and euchre party will be held in the Parish Hall, Tyre11-street. As this will he one of the last entertainments of the season, the organisers are sparing no effort to make this function a splendid success. On Friday, October 1, there will begin in the Church of the Holy Rosary Hours, the devotion of the Forty "Quarant Ore." On Friday morning the devotions will begin with Solemn High Mass at 7 o'clock, followed by a procession of the Blessed Sacrament. The Blessed Sacrament will then remain exposed throughout the day until Benediction in the evening at 8 o'clock. On Saturday morning the Blessed Sacrament will again be exposed, and will remain so throughout the day. A "Missa Cantata" will be celebrated at 7 a.m. The day's devotions will conclude with Benediction at 8 p.m. On Sunday, October 3, the 9,30 a.m Mass will be a Solemn High one.

CATHOLIC EDUCATION IN INDIA.
THE LATE MR. P. J. COLLINS.
Sir,—I was surprised to see my note to you published in "The Record," and, being afraid that my reference to the "trivial grant- given to our school might lead to misconceptions, I feel it incumbent upon me to offer some explanation. Travancore is a native State, governed by its Hindu Maharajah. In most matters of policy, he is free to do what he wishes; education is his concern entirely. And, in the present agitation for justice for denominational schools in Australia, it should be interesting and instructive to know his attitude towards such schools here, These schools are of three kinds, called Primary, Middle, and High. The Primary school gets most help; if a Mission builds a school, the Government will pay one-third of the cost of the building, will maintain it in repairs, and pay its teachers. The other schools are not so liberally helped; they are kept in repair, and onethird of the cost of new buildings is granted. But we do not feel this treatment is unjust. For even the pupils of the Government High Schools must pay the same fees as our boys; and those poor students who are entitled to help in the Government Schools can get that same help, if they prefer to attend a private school. In those States under British Gov. ernors, and which are at present mostiv under Congress administration, the grants to Church Schools are much the same as in Travancore. Where they are different, it is generally on the side of greater generosity. Of course, the education of European and Anglo-Indian children is still in the power of the Imperial Administration. The grants are quite high. They assure every child a full High School course at any approved school, They assure every private school management sufficient to carry on its work well and comfortably. All so much more just and more equitable than in any State of our own dear land, isn't it? I feel that Australia will not let us down in our claim for fairer treatment once they know the facts. With best wishes for the good success of all Your work — Yours, etc., BROTHER L. A. NELSON. Travancore, August 31, 1937.

The funeral of the late Mr. Patrick Joseph Collins, of Gibb-street, East Cannington, took place in the Catholic Cemetery, Karrakatta, on Saturday, September 11. The deceased gentleman was born in Ireland, and after residing in Victoria came to this State 38 years ago. Mr, Collins possessed many sterling qualities, and during 35 years' service in the W.A.G.R., he had gained the respect and esteem of numerous friends and acquaintances. He had lived in Cannington for a great number of years, and was exceptionally w ell known and popular in that district. He was always a great worker for the Church and Convent, ever willing to cam- out the duties, which came his way, and it is significant that he has a brother, Rt. Rev. Monsignor Collins, in South Melbourne, and two sisters in the Presentation Convent, Killarney. He is survived by a son, Pat, and daughter, May. The cortege moved from his late re. sillence to St. Joseph's Church, Queen's Park, where a Requiem Mass was celebrated by Rev. Father Doyle. The funeral then proceeded to the Cemetery, Rev. Father Holohan conducting the last rites at the graveside. The chief mourners were Mr. Pat Collins (son), Mrs. C. Shires (daughter), Mrs. Maisie Collins (daughter-in-law), Mr. and Mrs. Gregory and Mrs. C. Arnold. The pall-bearers were Messrs. J. Smith, J. Maiss, T. McElligott, J. Barry, J. Ryan, C. Arnold, P .T. Burke and D. Cantwell. Among those present were: Messrs J. O'Connell, J. A. Smith, C. M. Reen, A. S. Green, G. H .Quinn. G. Laver, J. Rhodes, C. Hart, C. W. Treasure, H. Holden, J. Gibbs, F.

On Wednesday night, September 8, R t. Rev, Monsognor Fagan, V.G., very kindly paid a visit to Bunbury, for the special purpose of presiding at the Annual Catholic Ball, when eight depresented, namely, butantes were Thora Johnson, Pat Buswell, Vera Owens Dulcie Rodwell, Maise Taylor, Mary Ruggeri, Joyce Dance and Joan Buck. Monsignor Fagan was received at the hall by Very Rev, Dean Hayes, Rev. Dr. Kearnan and Rev. Father Cunningham, together with the organiser, Rev. Father Power, and was escorted to his chair by Dr. I. J. Flynn, Dr, Jack Flynn, and Messrs. Cullity, Knuckey, Sturmer, Moore and Cremarri, The greatest social and financial success was gained at this ball (nearly four hundred attended), and from all visitors praise was given to the organisers of the ball. Colin Smith's orchestra gave continuous music to 2 a m,, with a short interval during which they were kindly relieved by Roy Buck's orchestra. Monsignor Fagan received the debutantes at 9.15 p.m. The procession was led by two tiny maids, prettily dressed in long dresses of green, who presented each a bouquet to the three matrons, Mrs. Connell, Mrs. Buswell, and Mrs. Clifford; followed the debutantes and their partners, who each did their curtsey and took up a position from where they carried through Miss Kilextremely well a minuet. minster was responsible for training the An exhi"debs" and their partners. bition of Tango dancing was then given lw Stan Stevens and partner, which was much appreciated and encored.

Father Power must feel gratified that his first effort in Bunbury was so well supported by the parish, and special merit is due to the Ball Committee and Hon. Secretary, Ted Browne, who have all worked very hard on this event for the past six weeks. The decoration of the hall was the work of Ted Browne, and Monsignor Fagan specially remarked on it. Without a high class supper, no ball can be a success, but dancers are liable to forget the enormous amount of work entailed by the band of ladies who took full responsibility on this occasion- To cater satisfactorily for four hundred people is a contract, and the greatest praise is due to these ladies who gave themselves so whole-heartedly and successfully t o this event., On Monday, September 20. a dance and euchre party is to be given to the sailors from H.M.A.S.

The news of the impending departure of Rev. Father Grennan was received during the week with great regret. The enthusiasm and zeal of Father Grennan has made him much respected by the Catholics of the Goldfields, and it is pleasing to us that he will now be stationed at a not too distant town, which will benefit by our loss. We regret too that Rev. Father Stinson is to leave these 'fields. To Rev. Father Philbin we a extend hearty welcome and trust he will enjoy his sojourn in our midst.

On Sunday night we had the privilege of witnessing the most solemn and interesting ceremony we have seen for a long time, the occasion being the solemn enrolment of 114 members into the Holy Name Society by their spiritual director. The men assembled in their guilds and the Rosary being said, the ceremony began, with all singing that beautiful hymn, "Veni Sancte Spiritus." Then followed the proposal of their acceptance, which, when accepted, all stood up and with lighted candles and upraised hands, pledged their loyalty to the Holy Name itself and the ideals of rules of the SQciety. Their names being called, they came to the altar rails, where each received his badge. After the ceremony of enrolment, the executive council was appointed, and then the prefects and subprefects: and a beautiful ceremony and praatical manifestation of faith was brought to a close by Solemn Benediction, at which the men sang the hymns and finished with a strong and whole-hearted rendering of "Faith of Our Fathers."

ENGLISH METHODISTS S YMPATHISE WITH SPANISH CATHOLICS. CATHOLICS have had much to complain of in the attitude of Protestant leaders generally in the matter of the Christian persecutions in Spain. A few have gone Red" and joined the chorus of hate-far more have taken refuge in a cold and unsympathetic silence, or have used the occasion to remind us of shortcomings which we do not altogether deny, but which might be held to have been atoned for by the blood of so many martyrs. It is a pleasure, 'therefore, to be able to report that one Christian denomination in England-the Methodist-took occasion in its recent conference to make a
kindly reference to the sufferings of the Church. In its original form-moved by Sir Henry Lunn-it expressed regret at the suppression of Methodist worship in Barcelona, and also sympathy with "the Roman Catholic Church in Spain, thousands of whose priests have been murdered, and whose churches are still closed in the territory controlled by the Valencia Governmen," and prayers were asked for the victims of persecittior. in Germany -Catholics, Protestants and Jews. Later this was amplified in more general terms, in which the Orthodox Church was included, and it was prayed that the war in Spain might end speedily with the "establishment of a just and righteous peace, with full liberty of conscience and To Sir Christian worship." Henry Lunn, his seconder, Rev. A. E. Witham, and to the conference, we offer our thanks for this kindly message of goodwill. "I admired that last piece you played. Professor. It had a sort of wild freedom about it, you know-a sort of get up and go that just suited me. Was it a composition of your own?" "Madam," responded the eminent musician, "I was putting a new string on my violin,"
Encyclical "Divini Redemptoris"
T oapply the remedies thus briefly indicated to the
task of saving the world as We have traced it above, Jesus Christ, our Divine King, has chosen priests as the first line ministers and messengers of His gospel. Theirs is the duty, assigned to them by a special vocation, under the direction of their Bishops and in filial obedience to the Vicar of Christ on earth, of keeping alight in the world the torch of Faith, and of filling the hearts of the Faithful with that supernatural trust which has aided the Church to fight and win so many other battles in the name of Christ: "This is the victory which overcometh the world, our Faith." 61. To priests in a special way We recommend anew the oft-repeated counsel of Our Predecessor, Leo XIII., to go to the workWe make this advice ing-man. Our own, and, faithful to the teachings of Jesus Christ and His We thus complete it: Church. "Go to the workingman, especially where he is poor; and in general, go to the poor." The poor are obviously more exposed than others to the wiles of agitators, who, taking advantage of their extreme need, kindle their hearts to envy of the rich and urge them to seize by force what fortune seems to have denied them unjustly. If the priest will not go to the workingman and to the poor, to warn them or to disabuse them of prejudice and false theory, they will become an easy prey for the apostles of Communism. 62. Indisputably, much has been done in this direction, especially after the publication of the Encyclicals "Rerum Novarum" and "Quadragesimo Anno." We are happy to voice Our paternal approval of the zealous pastoral activity manifested by so many Bishops and priests who have with due prudence and caution been planning and applying new methods of apostolate more adapted to modern needs. But, for the solution ( )f our present problem, all this effort is still inadequate. 1,\/ hen our country is in danger, everything not strictly necessary, everything not bearing directly on the urgent matter of unified defence, takes second place. So we must act in to-day's crisis. Every other enterprise, however attractive and helpful, must yield before the vital need of protecting the very foundation of the Faith and of Christian civilisation. Let our parish prests, of therefore, while providing, course, for the normal needs of the Faithful, dedicate the better part of their endeavours and zeal to winning back the labouring masses to Christ and to His Let them work to inChurch. fuse the Christian spirit into quarters where it is least at The willing response of home. the masses, and results far exceeding their expectations, will not fail to reward them for their This s trenuous pioneer labour. has been, and continues to he, our experience in Rome and is. other capitals, where zealout parish communities are being formed as new churches are built in the suburban districts. and real miracles are being wr.rked in the conversion of people whose hostility to religion has been due solely to the fact that they did not know it.

Jesus Christ, Our Divine King, has chosen Priests as the first line Ministers and Messengers of His Gospel.
63. But the most efficacious means of apostolate among the poor and lowly is the priest's example, the practice of all those sacerdotal virtues which we have described in Our Encyclical, "Ad Catholici sacerdotii." Especially needful, however, for the present situation is the shining example of a life which is humble, poor and disinterested, in imitation of a Divine Master Who could say to the world with divine simplicity: "The foxes have holes and the birds of the air nests, but the Son of Man hath not where to lay His head." A priest who is really poor and disinterested in the Gospel sense may work among his flock marvels recalling a Saint Vincent de Paul. a Cure of Ars, a Cottolengo, a Don Bosco., and so many others; while an avaricious and selfish priest, as We have noted in the above-mentioned Encyclical. even though he should not plunge with Judas to the abyss of treason, will never be more than empty "sounding brass" and useless "tinkling cymbal." Too often, indeed, he will be a hindrance rather than an instrument of grace in the midst of his people. Furthermore, where a secular priest or religious is obliged by his office to administer temporal property, let him remember that he is not only to observe scrupulously all that charity and justice prescribe, but that he has a special obligation to conduct himself in very truth as a father of the poor. Catholic Action, 64. After this appeal to the clergy, We extend Our paternal invitation to Our beloved sons among the laity who are doing battle in the ranks of Catholic A ction. On another occasion, We have called this movement, so dear to Our heart. "a particularly .providential assistance" in the work of the Church during these troublous times.

Perth's hon. secretary, has been pitching into Umpire Leo McComish, because he did not report anyone after the South Fremantle-East Perth match. Fred says he was not "squealing," as his club had won, but he said he would move a vote of no-confidence in the He didn't—which Umpires' Board. seems a pity, for 1 feel sure that Mr Book would have received but little Probably his co-delegate support. would have seconded the motion—and there it would have ended. Mr. Book "did protest too much" about not squealing, for when Mr. Tom Reid, West Perth's hon. secretary, stood up, he impressed on the assembly that his club never •squealed, which seemed to infer that some other club did squeal, but he did not mention any club, yet he looked in a certain direction as he made the remark. Then I saw in a Victorian paper how Umpire Blackburn, who officiated at the Carnival, was getting hark from the tomb, for his displays as an umpire in a recent Victorian League match. Armstrong, of South Australia, who did well with the whistle at the C-arni• vat, has seemingly pleased no one since he 'went back to Crowland. Then, believe it or not, our hockey players are up in arms about the umpiring at the recent Australian Carnival in Sydney. "We'll not go again if you do it again. So there!" is the threat made. Poor Old Umpires. B Y the way, I saw Fred Wimbridge, great player in his day, umpiring a junior match at the W.A.CA. "Wimmy" gave some queer decisions, and my mind wandered back to his playing days, and wondered what he would have said to the man in white if such decisions had been made against him! However, it was very nice to see this veteran helping the game along among the juniors. "£5 158. to Coach."

However, methinks Johnnie did not fare badly.

Boxing There lies buried in Westminster Abbey a one-time great prize tighter! His ring name was "Broughton, the Bruiser," and he flourished round about 1730. In the Abbey there is a gigantic figure of "The Bruiser." He began life as a waterman on the Thames, and first flashed into prominence by winning the Watermen's Championship, which carried with it "Dogget's Cap and Badge." It was in 1734 that he set up "Broughton's Amphitheatre," and challenged all-corners to "put 'ern on" with him. Ile knocked them cold, one after another, until it seetned that he had them all bluffed, but, no, there came along a chap by the name of Slack, and he proved that, though Slack by name, he was not Slack by nature. He put up the greatest fight ever, with "The Bruiser." For two hours and a half the war was on, and in the 93rd. round, with head "bloody but unbowed," the challenger took the count. Beaten, but not disgraced, for he had fought gallantly against an acclaimed champion There was no other to "have a go" at "The Bruiser," and for a further twenty years he was monarch of all he surveyed. The fights in which Broughton figured were certainly he-men affairs. One announcement invariably put over was "No bandages and no wounds dressed until the fight is over!" Then, after this 20 years of being cock-o'-the-walk, our old friend Slack turned up to challenge his conqueror! It is not recorded whether "The Bruiser" treated the challenge with contempt, but we do know that the notorious Duke of Cumberland booked bets to the tune of 110,000 on the pride of England"The Bloody Duke" lost that large amount, for Slack completely turned the tables, belted "The Bruiser" into pulp. and Broughton. after his thrashing retired from the ring a broken man. The Duke stuck to the fighter, and using his influence, the ex-fighter became a Yeoman of the Guard at the Tower of London, and later a verger at Westminster Abbey. His friends desired to have inscribed on his tomb, "Champion of England," but this was not allowed, though they saw a space had been left for such an inscription. It is to Broughton that we really owe the introduction of boxing gloves and the "Rules of the Ring.' He was England's champion until 1750, An American View. This is the opinion of an American boxing authority. Does it hold good for Australia? "The College athlete can block and tackle—he can kick, run and pass—he can be a glorious star in major League baseball teams—he can hurl the discus, toss the sixteen-pcund shot—he can play top-flight basket-ball and hockey, he can hurdle, play tennis and gold—he can even wrestle, but there are two things he can't do. That is to take a wallop on the beezer, and the other is to deliver one himself. "If must be, it's not a college man's game." Joe Beckett and Georges Carpentier. Just before that dashing Frenchman, Georges Carpentier, was to enter the ring to fight Englishman Joe Beckett, there came a knock on the door of his d ressrng-room. Under an old English law about prize-fighting, the fighters were responsible for any accident, and he who knocked was a policeman who had come to let Georges know of the law. Carpentier didn't understand English very well,—his manager did, and the latter was anxious that his man should not be worried with what the policeman had to impart. Carpentier turned to his manager, Victor Descamps. " What does he say, Victor?" "Georges," was the answer given in French, "he is the High Commissioner of Police in all England. He says that he hopes you kill Beckett!" "Oh, merci, Monsieur", smiled Carpentier. 'Thank you very much." The officer, believing that his instructions were completely understood, left the room. A few moments later C arpentier was called In the ring. He was introduced to Beckett and shook hands—that was the only time Beckett

Hockey Important games were played last week-end. The semi-finals were played under ideal conditions, and play was of a high standard. All games were close, and three required extra .time before a decision was reached. In the Al Grade "semis" Perth played brilliantly to defeat Suburban. 3-1, and Cricketers, also at their top, registered a great win over University, 4-2. These were "semis," and in the Challenge Cup final, Cricketers beat University, 2-1. Saints Win. In the A2 Grade 'semi," Saint Tidephonsus had a hard game with Fremantle, whom they defeated 1-0, the goal being hit by V. Byrne, who, with Kinshella and Wood, was the best for the winners.

Even where the State, because of changed social and economic conditions, has felt obliged to intervene directly in order to aid and regulate such organisations by special legislative enactments, supposing always the necessary respect for liberty and Private initiative, Catholic Action may not urge the circumstance as an excuse for abandoning the field.

On one point I had thought it better to keep silence, since it might be a clue to the truth, and on the other hand might lead to nothing; and this point was the unwillingness of Anthony Creenan to testify publicly on behalf What Michael of his brother. had hinted to me seemed, to say Why the least of it, curious. should the priest have been so loud in asserting his brother's innocence, and why should the summons to testily it have filled him with such despairing terror? What was he himself doing on the night of the murder, and what was the real cause of his singular agitation? These were questions which I had determined to answer for myself at the first opportunity. At daybreak next morning I was on the car driving towards the solitary abode of the CreeOn my arrival there 1 nans. ascertained to my surprise that Father Anthony was up and sitting in his bedroom, where. indeed, I found him, leaning back in an arm-chair near the window reading his breviary. The moment I entered the room he smiled faintly and reached out his hand for mine. I drew a chair beside his and placed my fingers on his pulse, while he watched me quietly with his large black eyes. I was struck more and more by his almost child-like expression. The dark eves were large and soft, like a woman's the lips full and sensitive, and the whole face almost feminine in its sensuous beauty. "You are all right now," I said, "but you should not have left your bed." "Sure, I'm better up and about," he replied in a low, musical voice; "and here, close to the window, I can feel the light on me, and I can see the sunset on the mountains." Then after thanking me in his mother's name and his own for my attention, he sat gazing out of the window with his eyes averted from mine, a little nervously, I thought, as if he dreaded further conversation. "Do you know, Father Anthony," I said cheerfully, "that I've taken up my quarters in your old room at Mylrea? Very comfortable quarters they are. I assure you. And that reminds me," I added, "you left something behind you which I'm sure you will be glad to possess again." So saying, I produced the book of Irish songs which I had found in the room at Mylrea. I had my object in returning it person. ally to its owner, hut I was surprised to see the effect which the sight of the book had upon him. His eyes dilated, his tinder lip quivered, and he drew back, waving the hook from him with a white and trembling hand. "It is yours, is it not?" I asked. "Of course it is, for your name is written here upon the fly-leaf." For some minutes he did not reply; but I saw his lips quivering, and at last he said, in a low voice: "Thank you, doctor. Yes, the 1,cok is mine. Will you kindly pinre it down on the table?" T did so, and then returned to my seat at his side. When he

"It was a gift to me many years ago," he said, "but when I left it in the cottage I did not expect to receive it again. Sure, it's a book of heathen songs, and there's only one book, maybe, a priest should read." He raised his right hand and showed the breviary. "But since Miss Eileen gave it to you?" Again I thought his eyes dilated and his lips quivered, but I could not see his face well, as it was partially turned away. Not a word more was said, but he opened his breviary, glanced at it, and then closed it with a deep gh. "Are you strong enough," 1 said, "to talk to me on another subject? I have been to the prison at Castlebar, and I_ have had a long talk with your brother." This time there was no nervousness, no hesitation. He turned round quickly, looked eagerly into my face, and cried: "You've seen Michael? Spoken to him? How is he? What did he say to you? Did he send any message to me?" "He sent you his loving blessing." I replied. "He was wondering why you had not been to see him, but I explained -that von had been ill, and he %'as satisfied." "God in heaven bless him," cried the young priest fervently, looking upward. "I did not go alone to the prison," I proceeded, still watching him intently. "Miss Craig was w ith me. She, like myself, is thoroughly convinced that your brother is innocent of causing her f ather's death." waited for him to speak. but he was silent, and I saw that he was trembling from head to foot. "You, of course, believe him innocent?" The reply came at once, and in broken accents: "I know he is!" "Unfortunately, however, the case is very black against him. Unless we can discover the person who is really guilty, your brother is certain to be condemned." It was cruel of me. I suppose; but I had my object in causing the young priest the torture which he was obviously enduring. If he was concealing anything, he might be urged to speak. He sat as if spellbound, gazing out through the window on the dreary prospect of mountain and moor. Suddenly he uttered a cry, and said in a voice choked with tears: "God will help him! God will never let them harm an innocent man!” "But can you do nothing?" I asked quickly. "Remember your brother's life is at stake! You say you know he is innocent." "I know it, and God knows it!" "But can you prove it? That is the question. Do you know anything which might throw light into the darkness, and help us to find the guilty person?" "I know nothing, I can say nothing," he replied; and with tears streaming down his cheeks he added, as if to himself, "Mv God! My God!" But I persisted. "It is unfortunate, very unfortunate. When you are called unon to testify on your brother's behalf—" "I have testified on the depositions. I can say no more." "You have not even any stiq-

A Liturgical Catechism
The word retreat is a military Primarily it implies a term. fleeing from the cowardly rout, a enemy. As such there is nothing in it to give it an appeal for an honourable man. It has, however, another connotation and under this aspect it is a prudent, worth while bit of military strategy, of which a skilled commander will take advantage when opportunity offers. It means a temporary withdrawal from the battle front to make a survey of how the campaign is going, to count up gains and losses, to study resources, plan new manoeuvres, so as eventually to return to the fight better equipped. Now, if anything is plain both from personal experience and from the teaching of Scripture, it is that man's life on earth is Willing or a spiritual warfare. not, everyone must engage in the combat. Handicapped by a fallen nature infected with original sin and pitted against the triple alliance of the world, the flesh and the devil, man ever finds himUltiself at a disadvantage. mately to come out victoriously he needs all the skill and stratA retreat egy he can muster. is a stealing away from the scene of conflict, from the world with its distractions, problems and temptations, to study, amid solione's tude and recollection, spiritual campaign to find out where one stands and what is to be done to secure final success.

Speaking generally, the liturgical altar is provided with a ciborium or baldakin, an antipendium, a tabernacle with its veil, three altar-cloths, candlesticks and crucifix. Q. Is all this in accordance with primitive practice? A. Originally nothing was allowed on the altar save the actual necessaries for the Sacrifice— viz., the altar cloth, the bread and wine and the Sacrementary—i.e., the Mass-book and Ritual of the In the 9th. century celebrant.

T wo and a half centuries elapsed between Yermak's addition of Siberia to the domains of Ivan the Terrible and the arrival of Commodore Perry at Yeddo Bay. Since the latter event, japan and Russia, regardless of form, have been at peace, at war, at peace, in alleged secret alliance, in temporary open alliance, at war, and again at peace. in friendly co-operation, and in strained relations; but the course of history has never changed.
