BY REV. DR.

Doing Away With The Devil "W.X.Y.Z.," South Australia: If the devil does so much harm in the world, why. doesn't God do away with the devil to prevent him from doing further harm? Firstly, God will not do away with the devil because the devil is essentially a spirit-being whose nature is immortal by very neces, sity. And God does not create a being endowed with immortality of its very nature only to destroy it. Secondly, God knows that human souls, with the help of His grace, can themselves prevent the devil from doing them any moral harm by refusing consent to his

suggestions.

Thirdly, since there is no particular merit in being good if never tempted to do evil. God knows that the temptations of the devil are the occasion at least in which men have the chance to practice and grow in virtue. Fourthly, since all previous generations of men have had to endure the sedulous attentions of the devil, there is no particular reason why the present and future generations should be exempt. We must battle through the same trials as others, conscious that with God's help we can come through victoriously as so many others whose example is offered for our encouragement. • Does "A Vocation" Oblige?

R U MB Go'd. It is the rule that the more people love created things the less they will love God. The human heart is so limited that to concentrate its interest upon one object is to divert its interest from others. Now there are three quite natural loves which tend to divert us from the supernatural love of God. There is the love of earthly goods; the love of fellow human beings; and the love of self. To leave her soul free from such entanglements, therefore, the nun renounces earthly goods by the vow of poverty; all the human affections and passionate attachments of earthly love by the vow of chastity; all love of self and devotedness to self-interest by the vow of obedience. But this liberation of the soul is only that the soul may give itself entirely to God, and live for Him alone.

hope that has cleared up the whole question for you, as far as necessary brevity will permit.

To Whom Do We Appeal ! "Argus," Brisbane: Preaching at the Nundah Baptist Church, the Rev. Geo. Haughan attacked the Catholic claim for State aid to Catholic schools. That is to be deplored. When we Catholics ask our fellow citizens to consider our case, the only protests come from Protestant clergymen, who constitute themselves spokesmen on behalf of the people of Australia. We are appealing neither to parsons nor to politicians. We merely ask our fellow citizens to think the matter over. If indeed they are convinced that our claim is just, we want them, to whatever religion or political party they belong, to want to grant justice to their Catholic fellow citizens. Our appeal is to the general will of all Australians. And it is absurd for the Protestant clergy to raise a storm merely because we ask our fellow Australians to look into our case.

could be called subsidising irreligion. Again, no non-Catholic w ould be compelled to pay a penny even for the secular education given in 'Catholic schools. The Government would be merely devoting to Catholic children that share of ordinary educational revenue derived from Catholics. As for the use of Parliaments, what is a Parliament for but to express the will of the people in a democratic country? And if the majority of Australians desire to relieve a minority of an injustice, where is there room for complaint? Predictions and Threats. Rev. D. S. Brumwell, president of the Queensland Methodist Conference, said that what may ultimately happen if this issue is proceeded with can hardly be judged. I can sum up the results in two w ords. We ask our fellow Australians to weigh calmly and dispassionately the pros and cons of the Catholic case for a share in public funds for education. What will ultimately happen is this. Either the majority of the people of Australia will decide to grant our request, or they won't. Whichever way the ultimate decision goes. Catholics will accept it.

A vocation to convent life is therefore a call to abandon earthly interests in property, human affections and self-will, and to consecrate oneself completely to God, and to a spiritual life. • • Signs of Vocation. How does one know that one has such a vocation.?

The Meaning of Catholic Action

Do we know boys about to leave school, boys looking for work? Couldn't we try to help them by talking about all this, discussing jobs with them, lending them "My Future" (a JOC publication)? Could we talk to their parents, tactfully? Do the young workers we know like their work? Or do they go to the job as they might go to "six-months' hard," and because they can't help themselves? NN'hy don't they like their work? Is it because of the bosses? Or their workmates? Or the job itself? Or the place? Or their lack of training? What do they do to improve their skill? Do they go to night -schools? Do they read? What hours are worked in our town and shops and mills? How does this compare with other places?.

Economic Liberty and Security Through Ownership

O

NE of the lessons of "Rerum Novarum" that . we in Australia appear to have some difficulty in learning is, tat it is through the extension of small ownership, that security and justice for labour can be achieved. So much attention has been devoted to the struggle of organised labour for higher wages, shorter hours, and better working conditions that we tend to lose sight of the fact that there is an alternative to the wage sysYet, in Australia, the tem. wage earners have always made their greatest progress towards economic liberty by migrating from the wage-earning class into that of settlers and farmers; even where they were compelled to shoulder a heavy load of debt in order to make the change. Though organised labour can win victories in the shape of increased wages, it is obvious that organised labour cannot control economic rent or commodity prices, so every general improvement in money wage standards is offset by an increase of rents and prices. If organised labour could w ave a wand over Australia and double money wages, the improvement would only be temporary as economic rent and commodity prices would speedily catch up. Look back over the economic history of Australia, and is it not obvious that the working class have always achieved the soundest improvements when they travelled the road that led to ownership? The section who stayed as wage-earners and organised for the class struggle have been fighting a losing battle because the cost of living always kept pace with the increases in wages.

Principles of Christian Corporatism (By JOHN JEFFERS.) ing—they lived somehow, and learnt the job as they went along. New South Wales, a larger and more fertile territory, was strangled till the Robertson Act made land available in small holdings. So many got a footing on the soil that there was, for years, a shortage of wage labour, even in Sydney. Competition for immigrant labour led to employers meeting the boats and trying to induce the new chums to sign contracts before they hn,' the chance of learning the local value of their services. In Queensland Kanaka labour was introduced because the immigrants could get land and preferred struggling with pioneering conditions to wages jobs on the sugar plantations. W.A.

In Western Australia it was extremely difficult to enforce labour contracts as the wage earners had such opportunities of starting operations on their own account.

There will be tons of novelties and a good supper, and Mrs. Smith's band will supply us with their usual snappy music, If you don't come along to St. Brigid's on Wednesday next, you will miss the carnival of the year—a real good night of fun.

ELEVEN Children's Ball,

The Sisters in charge of St. Francis Xavier's School wish to extend through the medium of this column, their sincerest thanks to all those who in any way helped to make the children's fancy dress ball on Friday evening last such a splendid success. Especially do they wish to thank the energetic committee in charge of the affair, the

East Perth Popular Girl Competition. Now that the closing date of the competition—October 30—has definitely been announced, things are beginnin3., to hum in the parish. The pace has been brisk right through, but it looks like developing into a veritable whirlwind directly—if the members of the various committees do not develop brain fever thinking out ways and means of raising still more money everything will be just grand! Last week showed good results all around. On Friday evening Miss Phyllis Tanner's dance at the School was again well patronised, while at the residence of Mrs. Smith, Robertson-street, the followers of Miss Mona Corkhill had a splendid evening's fun winning and perhaps losing at the various games, and at the close of the day the "hank" looked good, and that viewed from afar off too—so! On the saine evening ,Mrs. Corbett, of Lacey-street, opened her doors to the followers of Miss Betty Battles-, and a very successful house party was the result, at which the "money went round and round" with a thrill for everybody as it came and went. On Saturday evening Miss Phyllis Tanner appropriated some more votes as a result of a euchre party at the School, and on Monday evening a house party at the residence of Mrs. Corkhill, Summers-street, raked in any pennies "running loose" after the week-end. On Tuesday evening, Miss Betty Battley's community concert again reached its usual high standard. Among the artists were the Hardwick Trio—Mr. and the two Misses Hardwick —who drew unstinted applause from the large audience. Followed by Misses Moya and Sheila O'Halloran, whose duets brought the house down— we felt we just wanted to sit there and listen all night while those gifted young ladies responded again and again to the encores. Then came the one and only Tom Power, whose rendering of "Thora" and "A Dream" was enthusiastically received, the enthusiasm developing into pandemonium as at the request of the younger folk in the front benches Mr. Power sang "The Egg." Mr. Bobby Weston closed a splendid evening's entertainment in his own inimitable way. singing "My Grannie's Hieland Hame in a way that left Sir Harry Lauder standing!

ladies who so kindly acted as judges, Mr. Rose (the master of ceremonies), and Miss Doreen D'Arcy and her orchestra. And if we may, we would also like to say "thank you" on our own behalf to all assisting. We hear that Miss Phyllis Tanner's committee has decided to repeat the ball on October 29 on behalf of Phyllis—we wish them another such evening as last Friday turned out to be.

HE commencement of any new undertaking is often a matter of keen interest, the more so when it belongs to the sphere of education, which one might say is one of the most discussed subjects of the day. Hence it is that a crowd of interested spectators gathered on Sunday, September 26, under a leaden sky to witness the laying of the foundation stone of Santa Maria College by His Grace Archbishop Prendiyille at Attadale. The view from this site is superb; Dalkeith Estate in the foreground across the river to the left, Applecross to the right centre, and before one the city in the far distance.

HIS GRACE'S ADDRESS attendance at the function. He did so on behalf of the Sisters of Mercy of Victoria Square, who were so well and favourably known to all of them. They had undertaken a heavy task in -tlie erection of that College of Santa Maria, the foundation stone of which he had just blessed and laid. But with the people's encouragement and support he believed they need have little apprehension regarding the success of the undertaking. That .College would take the place of the old Ladies' ColSquare. Victoria lege at which it had been deemed advisable to vacate for two

must be as a gorgeous colour plate fit to grace any book of the world's chosen natural pictures. Evidently those interested in the extension of Victoria Square found it so. His Grace, who arrived shortly before 3 p.m., was greeted with music from the Clontarf Boys' Band, and a goodly crowd had already assembled. At 3 p.m. a guard of honour, Cathedral composed of the Branch of the Children of Marv, fell into position. and His Grace. in cope and mitre, attended by Very Rev. Dr. Kennedy. Adm.. Rev. Father Winston, and Rex .. Father Johnston, blessed the stone ,and mounting the platform placed it in position. The parish priest, Rev. Fathei P. C. Smith, welcomed His Grace to the parish. He regretted that the day was so overcast, which prevented a larger crowd assembling, and which failed to display the beauty of the site and its magnificent view of the city across the water. He congratulated the Sisters of Mercy on their enterprise, remarking that only a few months ago Attadale w as barely on the map. and now it had a magnificent roadway leading right to the water's edge. with this new building in a commanding position. He hoped that that district would soon be a populous suburb, as aristocratic as Dalkeith or Nedlands or South Perth. A Targ-e debt, of course was incurred in the erection of this College. and he hoped the friends of the Sisters would help generously to liquidate it. Father Smith then called on His Grace to address the gathering. His Grace's Address. His Grace. who was received w ith applause, said that his first duty that afternoon was to express his gratitude to all for their

cational work of the teachin..; Orders of the State. They had reason, therefore, to glad on the occasion of laying, the foundation stone of this College. which would be up-to-date in every respect. It would be staffed by the Sisters from Victoria Square, who had a wonderful record of achievement. The College would be a garden attached to the Lord's household, in \vhich the sweetest flowers of virtue would be tended and fostered by women of piety and zeal and virtue. Its influence would extend far and wide throughout the land. Girls would receive a religious training, no doubt, but

And from a situation point of view, no better site could he chosen. It compared favourably with any college site in the State. or indeed in any other State in Australia. and future generations would have reason to be grateful for their decision in choosing Attadale as a site for a Ladies' College. Their second reason, continued His Grace, was a most important. one. It had been decided to utilise the old Ladies' College as a Training College for the F is7-ers of the various Religious Orders teaching in Catholic schools. Arrangements were already being made to have that Training (Tolleg-e established next FebrrAry. and the establishment of tie College would be a further step in the splendid progress of the edu-

"There are those," continued His Grace, "who object to Convent education, because it is not They tell abreast of the times. us that the Nun has no means of advancing in her studies; that she is not permitted to read any authors other than the spiritual works given her for her devotion, and text books she makes use of in class. And in consequence, she is wholly ignorant of the literature that is colouring the thoughts and moulding the minds of the children she assumes to educate. She is represented as a generation behind her age, out of touch with the thoughts and sentiments actuating those with whom she is charged." That. said His Grace, was a grossly exaggerated charge. for the Nun was not so benighted, and those of them assembled there that clay. who had been educated by the Nuns, could give They the lie to that charge. had found in the convent in

which they were educated, women of culture; women who had made serious studies; women who were familiar with the chief c urrents of modern thought. "You cannot conceive such devout and conscientious women devoting their lives to the noble work of education, and still only playing at it; imparting only a 7etence of knowledge for real k nowledge; drawing from the s tagnant pools of antiquated learning when their duty is to give of the running stream." T housands of the brightest and c leverest women of the land were prepared by word and example to give an emphatic denial to any such assertion. He hoped that by the time the College was opened in February next, it would receive the patronage it deserved. His Grace appealed to the people to help the Sisters in their obligations, and reminded them that in the invitation Jists sent out there was a list of requisites which would prove a useful guide for intending donors. He felt that all would show their appreciation of the wonderful \yak of the Sisters of Mercy who had now laboured for over 90 years in the Archdiocese, and were the first Order df Sisters to come to the State. (Applause.) On behalf of the Sisters, and on his own behalf, he wished to thank publicly the Melville Roads Board, and the Electric Light. Water Supply. and Telephone Departments. which had shown such thoughtfulness and generosity in providing the roadway, connecting the water main. electric light and telephone system with Attadale, and he gladly. availed of that opportunity of expressing his appreciation. Inspection. At the conclusion, the audience dispersed. clambering over the unfloored rooms of the first storey. some venturing to the second to obtain some idea of the layout of the structure, others to view the surroundings. The building when the present portion is completed will contain a temporary chapel, large dormitories with bed cubicles, and wide verandahs for sleeping out accommodation, class-rooms, reception rooms, library, dining room, etc. The new College will be staffed lw Sisters from Victoria Square, and will be used as a boarding; classThe present .school. rooms at Victoria Square will be - sed as a day school only in future.

E wrote with appreciation some weeks ago of Mr. Chamberlain's obvious determination to make friends with Italy. In a more recent speech Mussolini made a plain and friendly response to this, pointing out that Empires might exist side by side without clashing. With the more recent inclusion of Italy in the Mediterranean anti-piracy pact, the prospects look bright for peace and give hopes of a lasting solution of the rival needs of the two nations This policy was based on the understanding that on no account would Bolshevism be tolerated in the Mediterranean. So far so good. But since then Mussolini has concluded a pact with Hitler which might be interpreted as lending tacit support to that Dictator's anti-Christian programme. If that be so, it would seem that Italy has but escaped one evil to fall into a greater. Another aspect is the danger of widening the breach with France, which is more afraid of the German Swastika than the Soviet Sickle.

The Changing World

HAT the Holy Father has done from the very outset of his Pontificate to secure concord in every nation and peace among all nations, is known to the world. Now in the evening of his years the aged Pontiff pleads as a father for men who, still suffering from the effects of one World War, are compelled to prepare for another. Spain and the Mediterranean littoral may vet become the cockpit of Europe, and in the Far East armies are clashing on the field of battle. And even in countries supposed to be at peace, we find vast preparations for war in the near future. Yet it would be a mistake to attribute the wretchedness that is widespread to military causes alone. To-day much of the oppression from which the world suffers arises from an economic order which has permitted an almost unchecked capitalistic system to control our political and social life. In this respect the text books of CaT3italism are as repug nant to human dignity as the text hooks of Communism. The distress that follows wars between Capital and Labour can be as sore as the distress caused by international war. Between a military- dictator, able to enforce his Will on the people. and an economic dictator, who controls the fortunes of men, there is little to choose. Wars, military and economic, with their concomitants of distress, have darkened the world because it has forgotten God.

PERTH, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1937.

E live to-day under a modified Capitalist system in which the State by high taxation and the provision of a wide range of social services mitigates extreme poverty. The older moralists were inclined to deal somewhat leniently with smuggling and other forms of tax evasion. As a rule they held all civil laws to be purely penal, that is not directly obliging in conscience, but binding the violator in conscience to pay the fine and undergo any other punishment that might be inflicted should They argued that since the he be discovered and convicted. legislator did not intend that these laws should impose an obligation in conscience, no such obligation existed. Briefly they looked to the intention of the lawgiver and in accordance with this fixed the obligation. * * * * The modern moralist, however, bases his judgment on other grounds—that of the welfare of the State and of all classes in it. A tax may be laid simply for the support of the Government or to Now the control in the common interest the use of property. Government may undoubtedly demand that the citizen contribute according to his means for its support. It is equally certain, in the Catholic view, that the Government may regulate the use of property. No man may use his wealth in such a way that He must adinjury results to the State or to the individual. minister it not only for his own good, but for the good of the community. * * * * Granting then that the tax law is a real law, and not an arbitrary exercise of power, the citizen is obliged in conscience to pay Since the law is promulgated by a competent authority for it. the common good, any evasion which injures the common good is disorderly and sinful. It is easy to see that real injury is in.flicted on the public when large companies and notably rich individuals successfully evade tax legislation. All that the community asks is that the rich be obliged to pay what they ought to. What they can pay and do not pay the general public must pay in additional taxes and a lowered standard of living.

the response of the faithful would be much more heartening. Missionary charity has ever been the hall-mark of Christianity—a bond of love uniting Christians and infidels in the common Fatherhood of God. The poverty in which we live may perhaps make it impossible for the general body to take a large material share in the propagation of the Faith, but each of us can do something to carry out the express command of Christ and the wishes of the Holy Father to preach the Gospel to every creature.

Parents and Priepds. Last Monday evening in the Schoolroom a well attended and enthusiastic meeting was held to organise a Parents through Association, and Friends' which parent and teacher would cooperate to know the child better and thus help him to educate himself betThe recently held New Educater. tion Conference emphasised the need of appreciating the fact that each child is an individual, a distinct personality, and if we would serve him better we must know him better. With such an organisation as this opportunities will be given to parents to meet the teach• ers and to discuss the children. From that mutual interest in the children will come a deep sympathy and respect for each child and a more intelligent approach to him. To strive for the modern ideals in teaching a more movable equipment is necessary in the school room, Heavy desks are pens in which children are caged, and deprived of movement withWhat one of the in the class room. delegates, Dr. Paul Dengler, of Vienna, characterised as "sit-stillery" schools, when rows of children sit and sit, keep quiet, pay attention, gaze absentmindedly at the back of the other child's neck, and go through the school day passive and inactive, and consequently, bored and uninterested. The ideal of fifty per cent. class teaching and fifty per cent. individual activity is not possible without equipment, which is easily moved, to allow children to form small groups, to carry out projects, to learn through activity, rather than sit and be talked at. The first objective of the new Association will be to provide such furniture, and to make the class-rooms A second aim bright and attractive. is to begin a school library where the children will go during the school day for free reading periods. And for that aim the Association makes an appeal to every parishioner to scan the family book shelves, and to donate some A third books to the school library. aim is to provide a bitumen assembly ground, where drill and school exercises will take place. Mr. A. Turner was elected president: Mr. T. Egan as vice-president: Mr. Bob Hannah as secretary, and Mr. James They, with Patterson as treasurer. Mrs. T. F. Lynch, will act as the executive. Every family in the parish will be asked to join, and invited to donate something towards the expense of this ambitious programme once a month. Parents whose children attend the school are requested to be very active within the Association, to attend the general meetings, and to come to the school to see the class demonstrations which we hope to arrange every three months. Parents whose children may be going to other schools cannot excuse themselves from their share in the responsibility of their parochial school. The next general meeting will be held in the School-room on Monday If e vening, October 11, at 8.30 p.m. You missed the opening one, do not miss this. The executive committee accepts with gratitude the offer of Mr. Hearne to print the circulars to be sent to e very home in the parish: and the offer of Mr. F. Drabble to donate the The calcimine for the class-rooms. A ssociation hopes to bring to life once again the parish busy-bees which have not buzzed too well of late. Forty Hours' Adoration. For the first time in the parish the devotion of the Forty Hours will open on Friday, October 15, and conclude on The Sunday evening, October 17. v arious sodalities and societies within the parish are expected to take an active part in this beautiful devotion.

Nedlands On Friday, October 1, the devotions of ."Forty Hours" began in the Holy Rosary Church with High Mass at 7 a.m. Rev. Father Winston was celebrant, Rev. Father Casey deacon, and After Rev. Father Moss sub-deacon. the Mass a procession was held in which the Children of Mary and school children took part. The Blessed Sacrament was exposed all day until Benediction was given at 8 p.m. On Saturday morning a "Missa Cantata" was sung and the Blessed Sacrament exposed for public adoration, and Benediction was given at 8 p.m.. On to-morrow (Sunday.) the usual 7 o'clock Mass will be celebrated, during which the Blessed Sacrament will be exposed and will remain so all day until the evening devotions. The 9.30 Mass will be a High Mass, in the presence of The the Blessed Sacrament exposed. devotions will begin at 7.30 in the evening, consisting of Rosary, special sermon on the Blessed Sacrament by a Redemptorist Father, after which a procession will take place, the Litanies will be chanted, and Benediction given, and this will end the Devotions of the Forty Hours, arranged for the first time in the parish of the Holy Rosary. The children of the schools supplied the music of the Masses on Friday and Saturday, and are to be complimented on their devout rendering of the sacred music. It is very pleasing to note that the parishioners made such a splendid response to the appeal for watchers before the Blessed Sacrament during the days of Exposition. On last Sunday night a large congregation listened attentively to Rev. Dr. McMahon, who delivered another The work instruction on the Mass. of the school children in dramatising a part of the Holy Sacrifice is deserving of special praise and reflected great credit on both Sisters and pupils.

(By Jay Dee.) Flippantly it has been heard said that the old Irish spirit is dead. Happily- this is not so, and viewing what the spirit has meant to Australia it would be a sad day when such a stateThe ment could be said to be true. Irish race goes on, north, south, east, and west, with unchanged aspirations, subjected but never conquered, and while these sons and daughters of Ireland who have gone beyond the seas and accept--nay promulgate constitutions and laws in democratic couv,.. tries—they carry with them a heartfelt sympathy , for their forefathers' Hence we bring under notice land. the success of the recent only properly organised and permanent movement to bring and keep Irish national step dancing up to the highest possible standard in W.A., and to prevent the tacking of "Irish" on to terpsichorean With this end in view, gymnastics. the Irish National Foresters framed regulations and conditions under which periodical competitions are conducted, rule No. 5 of which reads as follows: "Any person competing in competitions conducted by the Irish National Foresters' Benefit Society in connection with Irish National Step Dancing, who competes in, or takes part in any Irish step (lancing competition which has not been extended the patronage of this society, will be disqualified from taking part in any Irish step dancing competitions held by or uncle' its patronage during the remainder of the year for which registration had In passbeen effected under rule 7." ing it is of interest to note that for the year ending last St. Patrick's Day, some forty highly prized, suitably inscribed cups and twenty-three medals were presented to the respective winners at the Irish National Foresters' social on St. Patrick's night in Fremantle, and that for the current year, in which an even greater number of competitors have registered, trophies will he presented. The Irish National Step Dancing Championship of Western Australia is, of course, an accomplished fact: 1935 challenger and winner, Mr. Ben Wade; 1936, Mr. Wade did not compete: Miss Lorna Jenkins won title against five other challengers: 1937, Miss Lorna Bourke won title against seven other challengers. There is a challenger for title of Champion of Australasia in the field-Mr. Jim Healy, of Osborne Park—and the preliminary steps have been taken which will in due course establish such a title.

LIFE OF POPE PIUS XI. Restoring All Things in Christ Lecture by Key. Father Hussey

O

Wednesday, September 22, Rev. Father Hussey lectured to members of the Chesterton Club at their fortnightly meeting held in the Club Rooms, 36 Pier-street. Unquestionably the present Pope is a great man, said Father A Pope is as it were Hussey. a bridge between God and man, and the Church exercises its infallible authority in the voice of the Pope speaking ex cathedra. The Popes of modern times, notably Leo XIII., Pius X., Benedict XV., and Pius XI., have all The hisbeen illustrious men. tory of the Papacy extends over nineteen hundred years, and it is Having been a serial story. Divinely instituted, the Papacy cannot even destroy itself. The Protestant historian Macaulay had much to say in praise of an august.line of Pontiffs, but he failed to understand their origin We can picture a group of fishermen standing by the shore of the Lake of Genezareth. "Whom do you think I am?" asked One whom they all regarded with veneration. "Thou are Christ. Son of the Living God." said Peter for his companions. The Lord replied : "Thou art Peter. and upon this rock I will build my Church." We can prove that Christ appointed St. Peter the first Pope. that Peter was Bishop of Rome. that the Popes were his successors, and that under certain circumstances a Pope speaks infallibly. Despite most bitter and hostile criticism during the 19th. century. the Papal armour of the Church remains invulnerable. Despite schism and terrible persecution, the Church goes on its way. Of the first thirty Popes only one died peacefully—the other twenty-nine are martyrs. Henry of Canossa. Napoleon and Bismarck attempted to humiliate the Church, but their institutions have either passed away or recognition. c hanged beyond Hitler and Stalin are doing the same thing to-day. The present Pope has reigned for 15 years— few PonOTs have reigned longer —and one fact stands out clearly: he will be numbered among the great Bishops of Rome. Early Years. A chille Ratti was born on May 31. 1857, at Desio, in the Province of Milan, and is now in his 81st. year. newly-born The child was baptised the day after his birth. He spent his early y ears in Desio, where he received instruction from a priest. The Young student was industrious and showed great promise. He w as accepted as an ecclesiastical s tudent by the Archbishop of Milan. and was sent to the College of St. Charles in that city He was ordained on December 20, 1879, at the early age of 23. Father Ratti spent three years in -41...—Rome, and there at the new academy of St. Thomas qualified for t hree doctorates: those of Canon Law. Theology and Philosophy On returning to Milan, he spent a short time as curate of a small — Maze. and was then appointed Professor of Sacred Eloquence and Philosophy at the Milan N

Seminary. His letter applying for a vacancy on the staff of the Ambrosian Library, Milan, is dated November 5, 1888. His 24 years spent there prepared him more than anything else for the great work which lay before him Besides being a keen student, he always showed a great sense of proportion and exhibited sound judgment. The confidence and precision which result from erudition are apparent in his encyclicals. It must not be imagined that his time was spent solely among books, but he devoted his study to parochial work, aruLthe work of the clergy. He spoke at various functions, and acted as chaplain to various institutions. The Vatican Library. In 1912 Monsignor Ratti was called to Rome and was appointed Prefect of the Vatican Library. The Pope is well known as a mountaineer. His most nota;,:e climb was that of Monta Rosa, 15,000 feet high. The great strength and power of recovery he has exhibited during recent illnesses is attributed to his years ( 4 mountaineering. Pope Benedict XV. was greatly impressed by the Prefect of the Vatican Library. Monsignor Ratti showed outstanding ability when sent on missions to London. to, Vienna and to Warsaw. Saviour of Poland. It has been said that the Great War revived at least one nation which was once great, Poland A fter the war Poland was in serios straits, and was threatened by the Russian Bolsheviks, who approached even to the gates of Warsaw. Pope Benedict XV. sent Monsignor Ratti to Warsaw prior to the climax of the trouble. He managed to maintain calm and inspired the Poles to make a determined effort to drive the Russians back. On the eve of the Assumption the Polish commander-in-chief came to the Papal representative in despair, but on that same day a cry of intercession went up from every Church in Poland, and on the Feast of the Assumption, August 15, the Russians were driven back and the Polish troops had to be restrained. Monsignor Ratti was publicly thanked for the salvation of Poland. This mission to Poland ended the quiet and studious life of the present Pontiff. From then he entered .into the throbbing actualities of present-day world events. Archbishop of Milan. The Archbishop of Milan died on February 2, 1921, and Monsignor Ratti was appointed Cardinal Archbishop in his succession. The new Archbishop's entry into Milan was a popular friumph. Soon afterwards news come of the death of Benedict XV. On February 2, 1922, Archbishop Ratti set out from Milan for the Conclave of Cardinals to be held at the Vatican, where the appointtnent of the new Bishop of After Rome would take place. the fourteenth scrutiny of votes the required majority was oh-

Pius XI. has written more encyclicals than any other Pope. The encyclicals are striking documents, the work of a great mind. The lecturer referred to two of them, "Reconstruction of the Social Order" and "Christian Marriage." Clearly the Pope is engaged on a great experiment. He has inaugurated Catholic Action. The laity are called upon to be active, and up and doing. They should become acquainted with the contents of the encyclicals, which are not mere textbooks but are rules of life. In conclusion, Rev. Father Hussey said, "there is no doubt that the reign of Pius XI. has been a remarkable one, and historians of the future will refer to His Holiness as Pius the Great."

The grand finals of all grades were played last Saturday, and the season, as far as regards the men's competition, is closed. In 'Al Grade, Cricketers, who have performed consistently well during the season, defeated Perth, 4-0—a smashThese clubs have often ing victory. been in opposition for the grand final, but this is the first occasion on which Cricketers have taken the honours—a most popular victory. The goal-hitters for the winners and Byass were Carden, Arnott, Bandy„ while the two best were Fred Taaffe and Doug. McKenzie, For the losers the best were George Milner and Dudley Everett. Lower Grades—A2, Fremantle, 4, defeated St. IldephonThe goal-hitters for sus' College, nil. the winners were K. McKenzie (2) and Jeffries (2). Reserve Grade. East Cannington, 2, defeated Fremantle, nil. The winner's goal-hitters were C. Ockerby and G. Cobb. B1 Grade. Fremantle, 2, defeated Wesley, 1, The goal-hitters for the Port men were Hancock and Welch, and for Wesley IIenwood. B2 Grade. Scotch, 1, defeated University, nil. The goal-hitter of the match- was Jones.

Although this State did not win a title at the recent championships at Hobart, the W.A. Amateur Boxing and Wrestling Association .deserves a meed of praise for its enterprise in sending a team away, and having t hree of its members figure in the boxThese were Aurisch, who ing finals. was beaten by Clements, of Tasmania, on a technical K2O- in the second round; Piper, who was beaten by Ellis, of Victoria, on points; and Prater. who was defeated by Smith, of Tasmania, on points. The whole adventure was worthwhile, and the Association need not be down-hearted, but should try again. Tipping the Winner. Jack Dempsey upset the prediction factory in spectacular style when he took Willard in three slashing rounds The experts, alat Toledo in 1919. most 'to a man, figured that Jesse was too big, formidable and powerful, to be beaten by a man so much inferio, to him in sheer bulk, That Jesse had waxed fat, lazy, and lethargic in his royal robes was not taken into account by his boosters, nor did the latter quite realise how smashingly effective were the tiger attacks of the "Manasan Mauler."

The Second "Semi--Claremont Defeats East Fremantle. In excellent weather Claremont last week defeated East Fremantle in the second "semi," thus repeating its performance of last season. It is strange that only twice have these clubs met in a second round game, and on each occasion victory went to the younger club, The win was a convincing and a meritorious one, secured by a side that showed the better team-work and t he ability to see through a solid 100 minutes of play. The progressive scores were: 2.4 to 1,5, with Claremont advantaged by the wind in the lead; then 7.8 to 7.4, with the lead to Old Easts. At threequarter time, Claremont led by fourteen points, 10.10 to 8.8, and that was the winning margin, 13.10 to 10.14. Best. Players. In common with most who watched play, I picked -Sandover Sam" Clarke as the best man afield. He was sta tioned at centre half-back, and opposHe ed to Daniell he won decisively, was good in all departments. George Moloney did well at t_he pivot,. Jack Reeves was good whether on the ball or placed, and Jack Hooper was the best rover of the match. Geoff. Skeahan, in a back pocket for Old Easts, was the loser's best. He has been a very reliable defender throughout the season, and last week George Doig, alw as no exception. though he kicked five goals, was not as accurate as usual—still he must be named as one of the best in the Blue and White uniform. Others above the average were Mar. tienson, Truscott, Fordham and McGlinn. The Final. Old rivals in East Perth and East Fremantle will play in the final. It wil: be remembered that last season t he former just pipped the latter with t he last kick of the day. This should be a great game—the losers of which can pack their togs away. On paper there is very little to choose between them, Given fine weather, I expect this game to be even better than that of last week. The final scores in the corresponding match of last season were 14.14 to 14,13. The goal that gave East Perth the narrowest of leads was kicked by Herb Screaigh, and he was ably shepherded by Jerry Dolan. It is not known whether Jerry will be afield today, but if I were sole selector for East Perth h would be picked. He is a great general, and would relieve Captain Mick Cronin of much responsibility. These clubs met in a second round g ame, for the first time, in 1909, and have supplied many stirring contests. I am tipping that the forthcoming final will rank with the best of previous seasons. East Fremantle has not defeated East Perth since August 21 of last season, when the final scores were 21.11 to 7.12. at Fremantle, and George Doig kicked 11 goals. When last they met the game ended in a tie-119 points all—with East Fremantle coming from behind to make the "tie." My selection is East Perth, • CHRISTIAN BROTHERS' COLLEGE. PERTH.

(Ohe Good Samaritan Martha and Mary at Bethany "Which one of these three," Jesus asked, "would seem to you to be the neighbour of the man that fell into the robbers' hands?" There was no room left him for hesitating; albeit the Scribe was loath to pronounce even the name Samaritan, saying reluctantly: "It would be he who took compassion on him." Jesus had nothing more to add; by one of those innocent stratagems in which Orientals take so much delight, He had constrained His adversary to explain the nature of true charity. "Go." He said to the discomfited Doctor of Laws, "go and do you likewise."

"Lord, do you not see that my sister leaves me to serve alone? Bid her then to help me." One Thing Needful. "Martha, Martha." Jesus answered her, "you harass yourself and worry about many things; vet there is one thing needful. Mary has chosen the better part; it shall not be taken away from her." Not for having done too much for Him did the Master blame His hostess, but for letting herself be diverted from Him by external cares. Happier far is that friend of the Christ who is altogether absorbed in Him! Blest indeed are those contemplative souls,

Not only as a last tribute to the memory of a beloved friend, but as a comfort to th e who are left to mourn.

En route he encounters Miss Eileen Craig, deeply distressed through her father's death and even more grievously by the arrest of her lover charged with his Miss Craig bears a murder. the startling resemblance to vision that had come to Dr. Sutherland in sleep, and on a sudden impulse he takes up lodging at Mylrea, some few miles from Craig Castle. Miss Craig falls ill through the strain occasioned by her trouble, and as Dr. Sutherland is at hand, he is summoned to her assistance. In need of a confidant, she tells him her story—her love for Michael Creenan, her father's disapproval, his tragic death following a dispute with her lover. Father Anthony, when summoned to give evidence against his brother Michael, suffers an attack of brain fever, and is added to the list of Dr. Sutherland's patients. The latter is convinced that Father Anthony has first-hand knowledge of the crime, but for some mysterious reason the priest cannot be induced to disclose the information.

A LITURGICAL CATECHISM Ornaments of the Altar. Q. What is the tabernacle? A. The tabernacle from the Latin "tabernaculinu," a tent, is a box or chest permanently fixed in the middle of the altar and destined to contain the sacred vessels in which the Blessed Sacrament is preserved. Q. Of what material is it made? A. It may be made of wood or of stone, or of metal, precious or otherwise. It may have a rounded or gabled top surmounted with a cross. The interior should be gilded or lined with white silk A corporal should be spread on the bottom of the tabernacle for the sacred vessel to rest on. In front of the tabernacle behind the door it would be well that a curtain of white silk be suspended. so that when the tabernacle door would be opened, the sacred vessels would remain hidden from view. To facilitate the r emoval of the ciborium this interior curtain ought to be divided into two parts. The exterior of the tabernacle, more particularly the door, should he ornamented. Q. Should the exterior of the tabernacle be exposed to view? A. The tabernacle, no matter how precious and ornamented it may be, should be covered by a conopeum, or tabernacle veil, as long as it contains the Sacred Species. • GOD'S PATIENCE. If I have anything to reproach Thee with, it must be the excess of patience wherewith Thy goodness has borne with me uhto this day. What, then, shall so miserable a creature ask of Thee? 1 will venture, Lord, to address to Thee the prayer of St. Augustine: "Give me something to give Thee, so that I may discharge a portion of the immense debt 1 owe Thee. Remember that I am Thy creature, and make me to know my Creator, in order that I may love Him."—The Spirit of St. Teresa.
