It may happen. of course, that people will pray for one who is 11Q longer in purgatory, but who has been released and admitted to heaven. But Catholics don't mind the extra prayers.

hint appeared recently in the secular press to the effect that the next production of Oberammergau's world famous Passion play might be "unavoidably postponed owing to religious conditions in Bavaria." Enquiries among my friends in Oberammergau have elicited the fact that no such danger exists. The "news" has been received with indignation, and Herr Lang, the Burgomaster, is prepared personally to write any amount of articles refuting the suggestion.
Preparations for the 1940 production are proceeding slowly, on a very big scale. It is likely that the Passion Play, as contemporary visitors have known it in the past, will never be seen again, as extensive changes in the text are now under consideration.

me a batch of notes made by some of Father Rimmer's boys at Wigan, accounts mostly of conditions at work and on the streets. They are extremely vivid and concrete. The JOC method unquestionably breaks through to the boys' minds. Here is one noting that the best way to check immoral talk is to start a scuffle, a sham fight. Another remarks of his mates: "They use the Holy Name sometimes in the middle of onscene language without thinking. Some ket into the habit that much I think they forget what the name 'Christ' is " (I leave it as phrased and spelt). JOC insists that its boys and girls understand their environments, the special problems and dangers of their fellows. It may Effective sometimes be a Stop to risky business, but JOC is an Leakage apostolate. The priest cannot get at the worker in the mill or the mine. It is the boy next to him who must save him. And he is doing it. Before JOC an appalling percentage of the children who left Belgian Catholic schools for the industrial jobs were lost to the Church within a few months. Now the leakage has been practically stopped. JOC advances: because, again, in the words of the Holy Father, it is "an ideal form of Catholic Action." If one could conceive every vocation organised as JOC is organising the young workers for the propagation of the Faith, if each Catholic doctor, lawyer, businessman, author, agent was an apostle to his fellows, we could change the world in a generation. As Father Kothen said the other day at Oxford: "The one means of combating Communism is to establish a spiritual communion between souls in order to put them at the service of the Church. of Society, of Our Lord, of God. The social problem will not be solved by a simple redistribution of goods. VVhat is necessary is, much more profoundly, to socialise souls, so that hearts and minds may unite in the Mystical Body of Christ. in that vast association in which one is enabled to forget oneself, to go beyond one's personal interest in order to seek the general good, to serve the common good. . . ." The Jocist Prayer. Jocists meetings close with the Jocist Prayer; these articles may well close with it, too: Lord Jesus, I offer Thee my work, my struggles, my joys and all my sorrows of this day. Grant to me and to all my w orking brethren, to think like Thee, to work with Thee, to live in Thee. Help me to love Thee with all my heart and to serve Thee with all my strength. Thy Kingdom come in all our factories, workshops, offices and in all our homes. Grant that the souls of the workers who to-day will be in danger remain in Thy grace. And to the souls of the workers who died on labour's battlefield, give Thy eternal rest. Sacred Heart of Jesus, bless the JOC. Sacred Heart of Jesus, sanctify the JOC. Sacred Heart of Jesus, Thy Kingdom come through the JOC Queen of Apostles, pray for us. The Catholic Press is my voice! —Pope Pius Xi.

(Continued from Page 9.) But Dr. Zoller is not an advocate of murder. He is a p - hysi cian. He knows that it is his duty to fight death. Neer must he fight with more terrible exertion of all his powers than when the dark shadow of death falling over his shoulders veils the patient's face. Devotion to Duty. As Kipling has written, all of us are weak, but we know that there are some things which we simply will not do in our professional lives. For _the physician, one of these things is to compromise with death. Against that craven criminal compromise, he is bound not only by his oath, but by the trust and confidence which through the ages countless men and women in their suffering have put in his noble profession. It is a sacred trust, and of all men the most faithless and dishonoured is the physician who fails to reverence it. Into the high company of men who have been tried and found true, walks Dr. Zoller. His credentials are not alone his blackened uniform and his grimy face He has won his title to admission by his self-sacrificing dare for a little child whose one yet all-sufficient claim upon him was that she was hurt. May God grant him length of years, and with every year an increase in the devotion to duty which he proved by his hard fight to save this little Marilyn Murphy from death. "She was a sweet little kid," said young Dr. Zoller the next -day. "I was so sorry she died." Phew!

Pamphlet News CHRIST AND WOMEN. For the month of September the Catholic Truth Society has issued three very timely pamphlets, instructive and devotional. "Christ and Women," by Fr. Lord, is particularly suited to the women of our age. Before the advent of Christ women occupied a servile position. Pagan slave markets were full of them. Women got their value from their ability to please the eyes or serve the whim of man, the master. The world was hard and merciless towards women. With the advent of Christ the situation changed. Women walk through the pages of Christ's life with calm frequency—close to Him, in His company, often playing dramatic roles in His life's story. He never forgot that the first and great influence in His life was the influence • of His Mother, and He brought to every woman that tenderness and gentleness which every good son of every good mother feels towards womanhood.3 The historic Christ lives on in His Church, and His attitude towards women remains unchanged. He has shown to women saints a wonderful tenderness and affection. and often in history He has entrusted some mission of special importance to them. k. His bride, St. Catherine, walked to Avignon: St. Brigid of Ireland shared with Patrick the glory of making the island Catholic. The revelation of Lourdes was made to a little girl. and the revelation of the love of the Sacred Heart was made to St. Margaret Mary. This pamphlet should be read by every woman and girl. In it they will find that Christ, the perfect man, still offers womankind a friendship loving, yet trustworthy; gentle, yet strong; sympatnetic, yet infinitely holy.

Subiaco ( 13y -The Newsman.") Cricket Club. A fair attendance was present at the Club's first annual cricket meeting, which took place on Friday, October 1, in St. Joseph's Hall. Many items of interest concerning the Club were discussed—membership, material, club caps, etc. It was decided to play a practice match between "Possibles" and "Probables" at the Wembley Reserve to-morrow (October 10), commencing at 1.30 p.m. Two evenly balanced sides have been chosen, and a close match should result. Leo Graham has been appointed coach of the club, and in future will be in charge of operations on Sunday mornings. The club team had its first match practice last Saturday afternoon, when a scratch team met a side from the Fremantle, C.Y.M.S. at the Fremantle Park. Subiaco C.Y.M.S. gave a good account of itself and emerged victorious by 39 runs, the highest score being made by G. Staples, who notched 24 in good style, while L. Gee made The best trundlers among our '22. members were G. Staples 4 for 7, and D. Williams 3 for 10. Considering the team was minus at least five of its best players, their victory was certainly meritorious, and speaks well for the club's chances in the Metropolitan Senior Matting Association.

The October meeting of the Fran. ciscan Tertiaries was somewhat depleted of its ordinary numbers on account of certain members taking part in the ceremonies at the Carmelite Convent in honour of St. Therese Lisieux, whose feast takes place on the eve of that of St. Francis. Rev. Father Johnston, director of the Perth Fraternity, gave an interesting comparison of the two saints whose lives were so holy, yet so utterly differing, showing how the basis of that great holiness in each of them was then wonderful humility. The director also regretted that, on account of the Mission to be opened on October 10, the Mass in honour of St. Francis, projected for that day, could not take place. Sister Monica (Ballard) arranged with the brothers and sisters present to give a picnic to the little inmates of Castledare on October 31. Further details will appear in "The Record" on October 24. Brother Stephen 'Maxwell) will shortly leave Perth for Melbourne, where he will be received as a novice in the lay Brotherhood of the Franciscan Novitiate there. His brothers and sisters of the Third Order Fraternity, Perth, wish him success and happiness in his new life. All tertiaries are asked to pray for Brother Sebastian (Docherty), who is seriously ill.
On Thursday, September 30, a social Badminton match was played between the Catholic Young Ladies, in conjunction with the Catholic Young Men, against St. Kevin's Hibernian Society, which resulted in a win for the latter by one point, the scores being: St. Kevin's, 4 games, 92 points; C.Y.L.C., 4 games, 91 points. The standard of play was very good and many exciting rallies were witnessed by the supporters of each side. The most exciting game of the evening was the men's doubles, between G. Lewin and F. Hinds (C.Y.L.C.) and P. Mitchell and R. Morris (St. Kevin's). This game was particularly fast, and with very little margin between the scores throughout the game. After a hardfought battle C.Y.L.C. proved to be the victors by 4 points, 18-14. The second set of men's doubles also went to C.Y.L.C., B. Franklyn and V. Atkinson (C.Y.L.C.) defeated B. Scott and B. Mitchell (St. Kevin's), 15-9. The ladies' doubles were won by C.Y.L.C., V. Mooney and M. Power defeating M. McGrade and D. Swarbrick, 15-6. In the mixed doubles, M. Walker and G. Lewin (C.Y.L.C.' were defeated by M. Burke and P. Mitchell (St. Kevin's), 1-15; K. Easton and F. Hinds (C.Y.L.C.) were victorious over M. Boylan and D. Williams (St. Kevin's, 15-3; M. McGrade and B. Scott (St. Kevin's) defeated V. Mooney and V. Atkinson, 15-5: M. Burke and P. Mitchell (St. Kevin's) defeated M. Walker and G. Lewin (C.Y.L.C.), 15-9: D. Swarbrick and R. Morris (St. Kevin's) defeated M. Power and B. Franklyn, 15-13. At the conclusion of play a dainty supper was served, when all .participants in the Badminton match agreen that it had been a most enjoyable e vening. Our dance last week was a huge success. The girls appointed to attend the door next Saturday night are Misses J. Hopkins, M. Orr, and E. Walker. Meetings are held every Thursday night in Cathedral Hall.

St. Malachi's Branch, Highgate. The fortnightly meeting was held on the 29th. ult. The chaplain, Rev. Father Hussey, was present and the president, Bro. M. Peterson, presided over a good attendance of members. Bro. J. McGillicuddy reported on the picnic, which was held at National Park. Ek-erybody who attended enjoyed the outing and members are looking forward to another in the near future. Bro. J. Binstead reported from the Metropolitan Social Council that a dance would be held in St. Brigid's Hall, West Perth, on October 11. These dances are very popular, and a large crowd is expected. Twt, new members, in Misses Lang and Doherty, were nominated for membership by Srs. Falken and M. McGillicuddy. The syllabus items which take place after the meetings are now in full swing. Community singing, quoits and rifle shooting were enjoyed by all the members who participated at our last meeting.

Catholic Women's League A meeting of the executive was held on Monday, October 4, when a large amount of business was got through. The President extended a cordial welcome to Mrs. Conway and Mnp. Noonan, who had taken the places of two members of the executive who could not continue to act. A report was received from the Catholic Ball Committee, but as all the returns had not been received by the ticket secretary, only a tentative balance sheet could be presented. However, Mrs. Jaeger was hopeful of ing substantially to the profits within the next few days. Mrs. Maxwell expressed herself well pleased with the interest taken in it by the whole of the members of the Catholic Women's League, and it gave her much encouragement to go ahead with schemes for the future. In order that all may know exactly what is being done, a general meeting of the League will be held in the 'athedral Hall at 8 p.m. on Wednesday, October 27, when she hopes to see all members and their friends present. It will take the form of a social evening, following a short business report, and as Mrs. Eustace and Mrs. Jaeger have been entrusted with its arrangement, we can rest assured that dit-erything will be done well. The President reported that she and Mrs. Hunt, of the South Perth Branch, had attended as delegates a meeting of the National Council of Women, and had been warmly welcomed. They were somewhat surprised at the wide range of activities undertaken by this body, prominent among which was a desire that women be appointed to the Board that Controls the care of the aborigines. Surely a matter so vital has only to be mentioned to the authorities concerned to have this wish granted. Miss Furze, general secretary of the League, reported on a visit by some of the C.W.L. executive to the annual meeting of the Home of Peace, and it is hoped that one at least of our members may be appointed to the Board of Control of that worthy institution. Mrs. Maxwell has for some years been keenly interested in the Alexandra Home for Girls, and is arranging to hold a jumble sale in the near future to augment its funds. She will he very grateful for any donation, either in money or kind, towards such a worthy object, and gifts may be forwarded direct to her home, at corner of William and Vincent-streets. Further particulars will appear in this column regarding place and date of same. Messages have been received from t wo more parishes that a delegation of the League would be welcomed with a view to establishing a branch in each one. The President, before reciting the closing prayers, thanked those present for their attendance, and she hoped soon to have them all working at high pressure in the many activities that have been entrusted to the Catholic Women's League.

THE RECORD
F: RECORD PERTH, SATURDAY OCTOBER 9, 1937.
Newspaper Control
LBERTA, which shocked the conservative apostles of progress by an attempt to break up the credit ramp, is again before the footlights in an endeavour to check the licence of the press. It could not, of course, be contended that the entire intention Of the Bill is acceptable or even reasonable, but it has points which are deserving of considerable attention. The compulsory licensing of newspapers and the complete stifling of criticism of the Government will, naturally, be strongly opposed from every quarter. . A few generations ago the Press was rightly regarded as a curb on the corruption of public life. Should the press become the instrument of Government policy our corrupt democracies might linger indefinitely. But it must not be supposed that anyone of intelligence accepts the current "liberty of the press" trumpetings at their face value. It is widely known that no large daily press is free to offend the large advertisers. The modern newspaper is already virtually the servant ot those political forces which represent the vested interests of the nation. So it is that, in an age which is shrieking for social reform, the papers which have huge circulations maintain a stupid and intolerable conservatism. Their only real interest in social life is the preservation of the status quo. It is comprehensible. It is an unnatural dog that bites the hand that feeds it. The Albertan Newspaper Control Bill aims also to compel the press to reveal the source of all information. There are cases conceivable where this procedure would be too drastic and would have consequences likely to offend against justice. But in the majority of instances it would probably prove to be very much in the public interest. It would go far towards enabling the average man to assess the real value of much that appears as cable news and is at present accepted as authentic. The propagandist would he stripped of his essential cloak—anonymity. A secret and prolonged campaign of lying, misrepresentation and slander would be practically eliminated. Truth could no longer be glossed over with such glib phrases as: "It is authoritatively stated," or "A prominent official declared," or "It was learnt unofficially." Where the matter is of necessity specific, truth has the opportunity of prevailing. • Never before has there been so much vaunting about freedom of speech and so little of it in actual fact. The papers which deplore the threatened Governmental domination in Alberta are, in most cases, themselves the tools of the rich. No ordinary big daily dare express anything but the most platitudinous elements regarding social reform. No effort is made to uncover graft and political corruption, except where the racket militates against the vested interests. Two or three combines control the entire chain of Australian newspapers, and hence reg-imentate the thought of the Australian public. Not only is it impossible to hope to ascertain the truth about world affairs, it is also futile to protest against demonstrable lies. In the strict sense no journalist on a secular newspaper is a human being, for he has absolutely no possibility of exercising his intelligence or his free-will. Thert. are, of course, those journals of public opinion which we know as the 'gutter press." Here we at least approach freedom of speech, but it is of that wide promiscuous type which we call license. The task of reform is twofold—to unshackle the conservatives and to curb the libertines. Whether Alberta can succeed in either is a matter of interesting speculation, and in some respects a consummation deVoutly to be hoped.
Menace of Secret Societies
HE outcry of American newspapers and prominent citizens against the appointment of Senator Black to the United States Supreme Court Bench, on the ground that he was a member of the Ku Klux Klan. raises a question of intense interest to Catholics. The Klan was a secret organisation of men founded in Tennessee in 1866, but disbanded three years later. Revived in 1915 it inaugurated a reign of terror throughout thc United States against foreigners, Jews. Negroes and Catholics. It claimed to be a national movement standing for loyalty to the United States and staunch Americanism. In 1928. however, it WiS legally declared an undesirable organisa tion. It appeared tc. have faded out until recently, when the rise of the Black Legion in Canada revived its methods of terrorisation. The discovery that Senator Black belonged to this murderous organisation has created a first-class scandal in the States, and as far as Catholics arc' concerned it is difficult to dissent from the sentiments express. ed 1-y- the New York "Herald-Tribune": "It is a deplorable thing that a man who has ever taken the oath of allegiance to this sinister, destructive organisation should now take his place in the highest Court of justice." This specific affair, however, raises a much wider issue. Is it in the best interests of a nation that any man occupying a position of public trust and responsibility, whether in the legislature or the judiciary, or in any other State department, should belong to a secret society? The history of Europe in the last century points an eloquent finger to the disruptive influences which can be exercised through these channels. It is not without significance that Mussolini disbanded the Masonic lodges of Italy, or that Hitler expelled the Jews (who form the innermost group of the Masonic move-

ment). During the past two centuries Freemasonry has been an ever-increasing power in European and American politics. Today its lodges are firmly established and, actively functioning Yet these secret societies are something quite apart from the natnral life and activities of the State. It has been all too unhappily demonstrated how they can paralyse the activities of legitimatt government and thwart its efforts for the public good. Is it wise to permit a State within a State? Is it politic to run the risk of our public citizens betraying their public trust through a double allegiance? So long as there is the danger of men in public positions having to obey the dictates of a secret minority (and this is definitely the case where a man has taken the Masonic oath), the integrity of public life is destroyed and the very existnce of the State is jeopardised.
Nullity and Litigation Costs
T was reported in the cables during the week that at the opening of the judicial year in Rome, the Dean of the Court of the Roman Rota announced that "34 marriages had been annuled" during the past year. Strictly speaking, sucb a statement does not make sense. It is not possible to "annul a marriage." A decree of nullity is simply a declaration that what was considered by the contracting parties or other persons to be a marriage, was in reality no marriage at all. In this nullity differs radically from divorce. The latter is the real or attempted breaking of the marriage tie. The former means that it never existed. Nullity arises out of the historical fact that in every civilised society there are laws governing the conditions under which the marriage contract is valid. Unless this be granted, it must be assumed that marriage is the one type of contract about whose validity no subsequent question could ever possibly arise. Nullity may be declared because of some defect in the consent necssary to marriage, because of ignorance, of undue influence, of diritnen t impediments, and a number of other causes. , * Of special interest in this news item, however, was the revelation that of the 78 pleas for annulment heard in Rome last year. no fewer than 21 had been taken without payment. This is not surprising to informed Catholics, hut among the uninstructed and a large body of non-Catholics, the belief is prevalent that it is possible only for the rich to secure a decree of nullity In England also, nullity in the Church courts is more difficult and less expensive than divorce in the civil courts. Some figures regarding costs of litigation before the Roman Rota are enlightening. Between the years 1916-21, the total number of cases heard was 117. Of these 69 paid their own expenses, and of this number 46. or 66 per cent., were successful.

Vagaries of a Dean
HE Anglican Dean of Perth, in a sermon reported in Wednesday's "West Australian,- has made statements which are both ludicrous and irritating. The Dean's text was the suggested boycott of Japan. He considered that "the present agitation was not a little hypocritical." "Why did we hesitate with Italy in Abyssinia,"? he asked. The answer is tha. "we" (English Protestantism) did not hesitate in the condemnation of Italy, and the malicious application of sanction s. The answer in regard to Spain again is 'that "we" (English Protesta ntism) have not hesitated ignorantly to espouse the cause of atheistic Communism and to join in all that ugly paean of hate which hc wever grows fainter in our Press as the truth begins to prevail. The . Dean is right, "our" attitude is not a little hypocritical. But h it is not consistent. On the same principles that motivated "our" precipitate actions in regard to Italy and "our" moral cruelty in regard to Spain, "we" should have no scruples about rushing into a boycott against Japan. But what restrains the Dean? "A boycott would only hit our own people!" This is the point at which forbearance breaks down. For the Dean, after denouncing "our" (his) hypocrisy, turns the whole issue with a splendid irrelevancy on to the Papal attitude towards Abyssinia. The Pope, he said. "played safe," whereas the Dean expected him to embrace persecution and martyrd om. But the Dean, too, "plays safe." He regards Japan as an aggressor; he did not go far enough or fast enough with Italy. and Spain. Yet, "filled with righteous indignation," we must hesitate because "a boycott would only hit our own people !" He concluded with bh multitude of pious sentiments and brotherly emotions which make nasty reading in view of how he described the Pope as haying done nothing for Abyssinia, "except to ask for the prayers of the faithful." No word of indignation, he Alleged. came from the Pope. It is a shame the Dean does not study the Papal utterances rather than the secular Press. Immediately after the outbreak of the Italo-Abyssinian trouble in 1934. the Pope declared that any invasion by Italy which went beyond the needs of just defence, and was based upon ideas of expansion and aggress ive conquest. would be quite unjust. He further prayed God to "scatter the nations which desired war." In any case the world had decided that its court should be the League of Nations and not the Holy See. Evidence was submitted to Geneva: u,ot to Rome. Yet the Pope is expected by the Dean to have uttered a definite judgment on a particular case

which was sub judice at Geneva. Actually he could be expected to do no more than condemn the war mind and the spirit of aggression as anti-Christian. The really astonishing feature of the Dean's outbreak, however, is that complete reversal of tactical methods, which make modern Anglican churchmen so refreshing. Only a short while ago the Anglican Bishop of Wangaratta was raging about the Pope being the "successor of Caesar," which presumably meant a political autocrat. Now the Dean of Perth grows frenzied because the Pope is a political nonentity. Perhaps there is here some subtle paradox which the Papist, forbidden to think for himself cannot perceive. But here and now, to the ordinary Catholic, it appears as a simple case of "having it both ways." •

The lecturer of the evening was Rev. Father Paul, 0.S.B., who has recently returned from abroad, and was an eyewitness of the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War in Barcelona. Father Paul outlined the causes of the Nationalist revolt, detailing the chaos and injustic which had been growing in Spain since the Constitution of 1931 was proclaimed. The lecturer described personal experiences at Montserrat, Barcelona, and Navarre, contrasting the order and humanity of Franco's regime with the chaos and bloodshed of the Marxist domination, He concluded with a sketch of the structure of the new Spain. Rt. Rev. Dr. Catalan supported Father Paul's contentions and deprecated the attitude of the Australian Press towards the Spanish Nationalists There was, however, a considerable bulk of English opinion in their fay. our, That the official British attitude had changed and that Franco's victory was assured, was indicated by the fact that Franco had recently raised a loan of .£90,000,000 in London. His Lordship insisted that truth and justice would ultimately prevail and not the terrorisation of Marxism which was directed from. Moscow and diabolically inspired. Rev. Brother Clement said that, it anything, the story of the Spanish tragedy had been understated. Referring to his own Order, there was definite knowledge that 91 members had been assassinated while hundreds were still in prison. He related atrocities committed against de la Salle Brothers and Passionist Fathers. A vote of thanks to the speakers was moved by Rev. Father Cahill, C.SS.R., who stressed the dangers of Communism in Australia. Father Paul had given them a vivid Acount of the civil war, and much information they could not otherwise have obtained the vote of thanks was seconded by Miss McDonald and carried with acclamation. Dr. Webster concluded by reminding the members of the Club how closely the horrors of the Spanish War toushed the New Norcia Community, whose relatives and friends had suffered and were suffering in tht Q truggle. Others present were Rev. Father Peter, 0.S.B., Rev. Father Urban, 0.S.B., Rev. Brother Placid (Director of St. Ildephonsus' College, and Rev Brother Duffy, of the Christian Brothers' College, Perth.

Besides about fifty men from the boat, some two hundred citizens were there and dancing of a very sociable kind proceeded till 1 a.m. A lively orchestra was provided by Mr. Roy Buck. Mrs. Cross led the supper workers, and as always, these ladies provided a very nice supper, which was thoroughly appreciated. The chief petty officer, on behalf of the sailors, thanked Des. Kelly for his very successful effort. Father Power attended, Very Rev. Dean Haves being at the Priests' Retreat in Perth. The Convent junior pupils of Bunbury had their annual fancy dress ball on -September 29, a feature being the presentation of eight tiny debutantes to Dean Hayes. These little girls were dressed as adults and each had a tiny partner, immaculately dressed in correct evening suits, tail coats, long pants, and etceteras, A number of sets competed in the fancy dress parade. This annual ball is always organised by the Sisters in charge of the school, and this year was as great a success as ever. A very pretty wedding took place on Saturday evening at St. Patrick's Church, when Jim Rodgers was united in matrimony to Miss Mabel Muir by Very Rev. Dean Haves. The bride was attended by three bridesmaids, and the groom had his best man and two groomsmen. Jim Rodgers and his bride are popular members of the Church here, and take part in most social and Church life, 'Jim being a past president of the Hibernians.

THE RECORD
Beaconsfield The Children's Ball at Beaconsfieln on Wednesday, September 29, was the most successful ever held there up to date. There was a very large attendance both of children and adults. The little ones enipyed themselves immensely, because were the prizes many and the supper plentiful. There were some very original sets and the judges, Mrs. J. M. Farrell and Miss R. IIatchett, had a difficult task in awarding places according to merit. However they carried out their onerous task very successfully, and there was not a single appeal against their verdict. The children were all satisfied and so were their parents, and that is saying a lot for the discretion of the judges. One of the most original and certainly the set that caused most amusement, was the "Beaconsfield Busy Bee.Jack Mahoney was represented with his soldering outfit, and Vic Matison by a pair of baggy trousers and an enormous hat. Tom Murphy was there with his diminutive truck, and Nick Bilich with his kit of tools, and Bert Took was unmistakeable with his paint brushes. A boy carrying a hunch of grass was labelled Ernie Knight, while a disreputable looking individual, looking like a young scare-crow in a straw hat, smoking an enormous pipe and carrying a shovel, impersonated Father Ryan The committee, Mesdames Brown. Miller, Goad, Harvey, Hunter, Davies and Nichol, worked like galley-slaves, but they were consoled by the fact that they achieved their objective and made the function an outstanding success. They desire to thank all those who donated supper or helped in any way. They wish also to thanf. Miss Amy Brown and Mr. Frank Ar,-. buthnot, the pianists, as well as the t udges, Mrs, J. M. Farrell and Miss R. Hatchett. The committee regrets having caused inconvenience to the Christian Brothers and thank them for their kindness in postponing their sports which were to have been held on the same day as the hall. Old-Time Dance. There were not as, many people present at the dance on Tuesday evening as at the previous one. The decline in attendance was not unexpected, on account of it being Show week. The next dance will be on Wednesday, October 20. Personal. One of our parishioners had a nasty accident during the week. Mr. Pelost had the middle finger of his right hand cut off while operating a circular saw at Gadsden's. He is at present in Woodside Hospital, but we hope that he will soon be about again and that his skill at his trade will be in no way impaired. He was a very useful member of the Busy Bee when we were erecting the cottage. We were sorry to hear that Dave Corry is unwell again. He is to undergo an operation in the near future, which we hope will be very successful. • * • •
SUBIACO October Devotions. As is the custom at this time of the year, the October devotions are held in St. Joseph's Church every evening of the month. These devotions consist of the' holy Rosary and Benedic. 4ion, commencing at 7.30 p.m. The attendance during the first week has been disappointing, and it is hoped that more parishioners will attend in the future weeks. Parish Doings. Seen in the parish again is Mrs. McNay (formerly Miss Kath. Ronan), who now lives at Yellowdine. Kath. is down to visit her father, Mr. M. Ronan, who is still a patient in St. John of God's Hospital. Miss Noreen Leen, formerly a wellknown parishioner of this parish, and now of Geraldton, has been chosen as the first woman announcer of Station 6GE. We wish her every success in her new position. During the last few weeks, members of both sexes have been noticed reading scrolls, and learning the art of acting. We wonder what they are learning them for! The Oitildren of Mary monthly Cornmunion will take place next Sunday, October 17, at the 7.30 o'clock Mass. The meeting will be held in the afternoon at the usual time.

THE RECORD.
There is This to be Said in Favour of the Wasp . . . T
WO or three months ago, on a hot July day, I was one of a merry party gathered at luncheon in a big, shady dining-room, donnant (as the French say) on a glowing flower garden. The fruit courst was on the table—syrups ana sweets, -dishes of luscious plums, crimson cherries and succulent pears. Suddenly there was an inrush, through the widely-opened windows, of a cloud of wasps. The whole party arose, armed with napkins to "shoo" away the unwelcome visitors, or maybe to flick them to death against the window -panes. It was war "a outrance" — justifiable, perhaps, but I felt rather sorry for the poor wasps. "No use," said our genial host; "it is far too late in the year to exterminate them ;" and he quoted the old country saving: "A wasp in May is worth a load of hay; A wasp in June is worth a silver spoon; A wasp in July is not worth a fl
y!,
I is only in the late spring, before wasps appear in numbers in the first warm and sunny days, that you have a chance of decimating the race by destroying the queens, mothers of the swarm, which were reared at the end of the previous season, and have grown fat whilst hibernating during the winter months. By July their progeny will have grown far too numerous for forcible extinction. Wasps in Prose and Poetry. Many pretty things have been said about bees, since that lovable American naturalist, Henry Thoreau, wrote that "The keeping of bees is like the direction o f sunbeams." But few people have ever sentimentalised about w asps. either in poetry or in prose ; and I am afraid that they have not many friends. Y et there is much that is beau• tiful. and more that is interestiiig about wasps and their ways; and, if .ve only realised it, there are many respects in which we are all indebted to them. How many people know that it was the patient observation of waspr that first revealed to man the secret of paper-making? The Indefatigable Mother. Some of us have perhaps w atched a wasp at work building her nest of thin sheets of parchment collected from the trees. It is, of course, the queen wasp, which after her long hibernation a wakes in spring to the duty of seeking out a home,. probably a hole in some sunny bank. You may observe her biting off with her strong jaws tiny morsels of decayed wood, masticating it to the _right consistency, and with it building the little paper-lined c ells in which her young are to he reared. All alone at first, patiently and indefatigably, she builds her cells, and lays an egg in each. These, when hatched, become her helpers, continuing t he work of cell-building, while 11116-.: she attends to the vital task of egg-laving. The Wasp Carnivorous. Unlike the honey bee, which lives on honey and pollen extracted from 'flowers. the wasp t

feeds her hungry young on animal food. Thus this bright and yellow being, the tiger of the insect world, scours the country side in search of all manner of destructive creatures — caterpillars, and above all, the daddylong-legs, whose grubs are the farmer's worst foe, living just underground, and browsing on valuable roots. So the wasp, which we are apt to fear, and dislike and despise, is really the farmer's friend; and we all owe it a debt of gratitude. Panic, Not Malice. I was painfully and severely stung in the knee-cap last autumn, when staying in a Highland country house, by a wasp which had found its way into my bed. Although quite lamed for a time, and constrained to spend a fortnight in hospital. I bore no grudge against the Vespa Vulgaris which had inflicted the injury. I maintain and believe that wasps are much less vicious than bees, and their stings, as a rule, much less painful. I feel sure that my Highland wasp stung me probaly in a moment of panic, not in malice prepense. If you want to know how lovable (I can use no other word) a wasp can be, open Sir John Lubbock's delightful eleven& ter in his study of "Ants. Bees. and Wasps." and read of the wasp which he loved and cherished, and which when paralysed and dying still "moved her tail as a last token of gratitude and affection." Xlesnect

Mexico has become the centre of numerous Communist international activities, including the distribution of arms for the Madrid Government troops. Quantities of arms and mumtions are received by the Spanish Embassy in Mexico from the U.S.A., Sweden, and Bolivia. The Left Wing parties of Central and South America are to make Guanajuato. Mexico. the scene of a joint congress from November 1-6. The subjects to be discussed are the political activity of the Church, solidarity with Red Spain, and the politcal alliance of all the Left parties in America. Mexico is the refuge of Communists who have been expelled from the South American States. Twenty-three of them, out of 48 Communists expelled from Venezuela, recently, reached Mexico in the steamer Flandres. One of their first acts was to visit President Cardenas and thank him for the country's hospitality.

GIRLS' SECONDARY SCHOOLS' ASSOCIATION. The 18th. Annual Meeting of the Girls' Secondary Schools' Association will be held at Leederville Oval on Thursday, October 21. The programme will commence at 10 a.m., and should finish at 4.30. The competing Col. leges are Sacred Heart, Highgate; St. Brigid's, West Perth; Ladies College, Victoria Square; and Loreto Convent, Swanbourne. It is to be hoped that this meeting will be well supported by parents and friends of the Colleges. An excellent programme of events will be caned out. This meeting deserves greater support than it gets. It is a pity that it is held on a week-day, and this probably militates against a big attendance. Had a move been made early it would have been possible to secure a ground whereon the sports could be held on a Saturday afternoon. There is no reason why this meeting should not vie in importance with that of the Public Schools' Association of W.A., which will hold its meeting at the WIA.C.A. Ground on Saturday, October 23, to compete for the Alcock Shield, at present held by Christian Brothers' College. The Girls' meeting will never attain the importance that it should until it is held on an enclosed ground on a Saturday. Verb sap.
T wenty players have been named by the W.A.C.A. selectors to practice in preparation for the forthcoming tour of the Eastern States. The touring party will comprise 13 players and a manager, who will leave on November 12 and return on December 12. Those named are on the young side, and the experience should do them good, but to me it appears the weakest selection that I can recall. All will hope that the side does well in its matches against the States of the East. The Returned Soldiers' League have a cricket association, and it is sending a team to Adelaide, there to play a triangular contest with Victoria and South Australia. The manager of this party is Mr. Bill Nlenkins, with Mr. Phil Allen as treasurer. Among those selected are Jack Mayhew, who was a member of the famous C.Y.M.S. team some years back, when Jack Minihan led to victory on numerous occasions; Leo McComish, well-known football League umpire, playing member of East Perth District Club; Phil Carter, a very fine player with bat and ball; Bill Witte, one of the best that C.B.C., Perth, has turned out, and Mick Troy, great fast All these are old "Chrisbowler. tians.Then there is Dan Byrne, who was taught his cricket at St. Ildephonsus' College. He is a consistent run getter and a brilliant field. This team will not depart until Xmas week.
THE SLAZENGER CUP CONTEST.
Fremantle "Christians" Win. An excellent curtain-raiser was provided at Subiaco last Saturday, when a team from Fremantle Christian Br,.. thers' College, 9.13, defeated Fremantle Boys' School, 6.5 . Throughout play was really good, with Christians showing excellent team work, the result of excellent coaching. The play was followed keenly by the big crowd present to watch the League final ,and at the finish winners and losers alike received an ovation, The best for the winners were Chamberlain, Ryan, B. Fitzpatrick, Mattison, Freeman, and McMullen, and for the losers, Parker, Morris, Main, Arthur and Gammon.

Now, how about a one-day match between the two bands of "tourists." It would cause interest and raise some funds, and the result would not be so very palpable as many may think, despite the fact that necessarily the "Diggers" must all be veterans. How about it? Who'll throw out a challenge? Opening of W.A.C.A. Season. To-day, Saturday. October 9, the WIA.C-A. season will be officially opened, when four "A" Grade matches will be commenced. The games in the other grades will commence just as soon as the grounds are available— when football is properly off the map. There have not been many changes West in the personnel of the clubs. Perth has been re-admitted as an "A" Grade club, and should be strong They will have Trevor Rowlands, who had a very successful season with East Perth, and Jack Shea, from Pre. mantle.

MELBOURNE CUP
Great Win: by 'Christians" and Sacred Heart. The semi-finals of the Slazenger Cup contest were played on last Saturday, and the outstanding successes of Catholic schools and College were maintained. In the boys' section the play was keen and exciting, and a great surprise was sprung, when Main, of Fremantle Boys' School, defeated Max McDermott, the captain of C.B.C. No, 1. Gallant play by Bill Alderman and Noel ,MoKnight retrieved the position ,and gained a great victory over the holders of the shield. Full results in this semi-final—Christian Brothers' College v. Fremantle Boys' School—are as follows: Singles: Main (F.B.S.) beat M. McDermott (2-6, 6-5, 6-4; West (F.B.S.) beat J. Brophy, 6-5, 6-3; Bird (F.I3.S.) lost to tAlderman, 6-1, 3-6, 2-6; McKenzie (F.B.S.) lost to McKnight, 0-6, 3-6. Doubles: Main and West (F.B.S.) lost to McDermott and Brophy, 1-6,6-4, 4-6; Bird and McKenzie (F.B.S.) lost to McKnight and Alderman, 6-5, 3-6, 4-6 Totals: Christian, Brothers' College No, 1: 9 sets 75 games .beat Fremantle Boys' School, 7 sets 64 games. In the other semi-final play was also very interesting. Th:.. contestants were Hale School No. 1 and Wesley College, and victor.- went to the former with 8 sets 76 games to 7 sets 62 games. GIRLS' SECTION. Sacred Heart's Smashing Victory, Sacred Heart, who have held the Shield for nine seasons, were in great form against St. Mary's C.E.G.S. The full results are as follow: Singles: J.

Finals To-Day (Saturday). Christian Brothers' College will meet 'Tale School No. 1, and though the result should be close, I anticipate victory for "Christians" The finalist in the Girls' Section are Sacred Heart, the holders of the Shield for the past nine years, and the Presbyterian Ladies' College, who defeated Loreto Convent, Swanbourne, last week. • RANKING. The London "Times" has ranked the amateur tennis players of the world, Here are the lists: Men: J. D. Budge (U.S.A.), G. von Cramm (Germany), H, W, Austin (GB.), H. Henkel (Germany), F. A. Parker U.S.A.), B. M. Grant (U.S.A.), V. B. McGrath (Aust.), J. E. Bromwich (Aust.), J. H. Crawford (Aust.), R. L. - Riggs (U.S.A.). Women: Mrs. Little (nee Dorothy Round, GB.), Sta.

Scriven (GB,), Fri. M. L. Horn (Germany)., The recognised "ranker" of the world is Mr. 'Wallis Myers, of London, but his rankings have not been announced. In the "Times" list, Adrian Quist, Australia's No. 1, was not included, presumably on account of his protracted illness. Smith hated having his. photograph taken, hut one day a thought struck him, and he agreed to his wife's request that he should face the camera. The proofs came back, When his wife saw them she exclaimed: "Oh. Arthur, you've only one button on your coat!" "Thank heaven,- he replied, "you've noticed it at last. That's why I had the photo tal.en."

OLD FASTS DEFEAT YOUNG EASTS. All the tipping experts were toppled over when East Fremantle defeated East Perth in the final of the W.A. League by twenty-three points, 11.12 to 6.19. Vhen Claremont beat East Fremantle by 14 points, the stocks of the Blue and Whites slumped appreciably, but this State's greatest club knows nothing about an inferiority complex, and playing vigorously throughout against East Perth, the men from the Port won in handsome fashion. The Perth Oval team was let down badly by its forwards, and the game slipped away from them in the third quarter, v.h..n, although advantaged by the wir.,I, they kicked 1.8 to 2.3, and fouvi themselves four points in arrears at the final changeover. The game always looked safe for East Fremantle once the la- t stage of the match was commenced, The best for the winners were Fordham, almost faultless in defence; C harlie Doig, who Lroke evens with Mick Cronin when opposed at the pivot: Kingsbury, who did a great job at centre half back; McGlinn and Truscott, two dashing rovers: Billy James, a hard-working, effective ruckster; and George Doig, who kicked five goals, bringing his season's tally to _139 I place Mick Cronin at the head of the list for East Perth. Early in the game he was very effective; later he tell away somewhat, and then, after a knock, went to the forward division. Bob Crow flew high to capture some great marks; Smith was a solid defender; Brian Ryan, on the ball or placed, did much very well, and Archie Campbell made few mistakes and showed dash and determination in his play. TIGERS V. OLD EASTS. For the 1937 Pennant, Can Claremont repeat its win of a fortnight ago over East Fremantle? That's the question that will be decided at Subiaco on Saturday. It seems quite easy to answer in the affirmative, as most agreed that the "Tigers- were definitely the better team when they downed the Port Blues, 13.10 to 10.14. By the rule of three or some such arrangement they should repeat in the grand final, but it does not work out always on form. A fortnight ago I would have confidently named Claremont to win, but it's quite a different proposition as I write. The "Same Old Easts" played infinitely better last week and they will be a most difficult proposition for Claremont, which has a side well equipped in all positions and in all departments. It will be the fifth meeting of the pair this season, and the Blues have recorded three wins to one. That is something in their favour, but against that it should be stressed that Claremont's win was achieved in this season's second "semi"—and that's something to write home about. They beat the Blues last season in the second "semi" as well, and that's worth remembering if you want to beget confidence in the ability of 6The' Tigers" to lift their first League pennant. In common with many other neutrals, I would welcome a win to Claremont, who have fought gallantly to get where they are to-day. I think the game will provide a memorable contest. It is difficult to fault either combination, Quite a lot will depend on

George Doig. Ile kicked five goals for Old Easts in the second "semi," and five last week But he missed some easy ones when "The Tigers" were opposing him. He will be closely guarded by a clever if somewhat unorthodox goal-keeper in Fred Batt. A t the centre there will be a clash between two players at the top of their form, George Moloney, of Claremont, and Charlie Doig, of East Fremantle. I expezq this to be a 50-50 contest, and if it does not be, and pans out that one has a clear-cut victory over the other, then the result of the match may be decided at the pivot. The ruck batths sh old be thrilling. Though quite a few belittle veteran Billy James, of Old East:-3, he'll be all there "when the xhips are (lacking " Jack .Reeves, as Claremcnt's trump card in the nick, is a great player. Sid Moloney will ably second him. In the roving department. Old Easts, with two good ones in Truscott and McGlinn, have the call over their opponents-on paper at any rate. Claremont's best is a good one in Jack Hooper, and his supporter is ' Howie" Boyes, who did well on his last appearance. It appears very open, but I am naming East Fremantle to win its 18th. premiership. • Perth C.B.C. Annual Sports Meeting Fast times and keenly-contested e vents were a feature of the 42nd. annual athletic meeting of the Christian Brothers' College at the W.A.C.A. ground on Monday, a light easterly breeze assisting runners in the sprints.

Christian Brothers' High School, Highgate FIRST ANNUAL SPORTS. The first annual sports of the Christian Brothers' High School, Highgate, was held at Loton Park on Thursday, September 30, amid ideal weather con. ditions. There was a very good attendance of parents and friends during the afternoon; this was the first opportunity they had of seeing the athletic powers of their boys. The refreshment stall was in the capable hands of the ladies' commiu. tee, to whom the Brothers wish to extend their thanks for their valuable assistance during the afternoon. The sports programme was a lengthy one, all the boys being anxious to test, on this first public occasion, their prowess on the field. There was keen competition in all the events, of which only the championships are given below. Champion athlete of the school: J. O'Donnell; junior champion athlete, J. Burke. Senior Cup: J.

ne Racing Game THE GALLOPER.. The W.A. Tattersall's Club will hold a meeting on the Belmont Course on Saturday, October 16, Mr. Ted Keary, of "Tatt's.," has been working steadily to ensure a highly successful meeting, and there is no doubt that this popular fixture will be up to the usual high standard. An attractive programme of events has been arranged. There will be a Trial Stakes, a Handicap, 7i furlongs, for a stake of £90; the Maiden Han. dicap is over 6 furlongs, for a £.90 stake. There will be a Plate of £110, over six furlongs, and Purse, over 7i furlongs, for i8.5. The main event will be the Tattersall's Club Handicap, miles, with the excellent stake of £130. The day's sport will close with the Welter Handicap, 7i furlongs, foz £95.

At Gloucester Park, on Saturday, October 16, the programme will open with a Breeders' Handicap, for all metropolitan registered horses bred in W.A. who have not won .E150 or more in the metropolitan area. The distance will be 1 miles. There will be a Divided Handicap (six races), of £610, for horses handicapped 2.22 and better. The distance of each race will be one mile and three-quarters. • TROTTING ANTICIPATIONS. (Written Before Acceptances.) Another attractive programme will be presented at Gloucester Park tonight (Saturday), when seven events. all of a mile and a half, will be decided. Proceedings will open with the Breeders' Handicap, in which Garabet, John Henry, Direct Fayette, Lord Orish and Golden Choice should all run well. Perhaps Lord Orish will prove hardest to beat. The Kellerberrin Handicap looks an open race. Pacers of the calibre of Silver Derby, Lady Patsy, Prince Yamma, Lulu Knight, Light Globe and Owenwood should help to make the finish interesting. Light Globe may make amends for his disappointing showing of last week. Silver Antique, Dawn Childe, Lowana, Fancy Patch, Pleasant Surprise, Lulu Abbey, and Torpedo Boy appear to be the best of the field engaged in the Kununoppin Handicap. Lowana wasoliprominent last Saturday, and he should be the hardest to beat here. There are several consistent per formers engaged in the Merredin Handicap, and the best of the field appear to be Locanda, Talisrno, Black !tidy, Jenny Derby, and Solvista. Talismo is in great fettle at present, and I fancy he will win again here. The main event of the night is the Wheatgrowers' Handicap. Hot Spur, from the front mark, will be hard to beat, while others who appeal are Alfred's Double, Master Fay, Ruling Globe, Meditation, Star Queen and Belalie. Hot Spur may win from end to end.
The majority of the runners in the Nungarin Handicap have little or no form to their credit. Serene Derby, Pleasant Boy, Abbey Marvin, Siam's Beauty, and Maori Star might prove the best investment, and whatever beats Pleasant Boy should win. The programme will conc.ude with the Primary Producers' Handicap. This should be a keen race and the pick of the field appears to be Stand By, Dillon Huon, Tommy Dillon, Lightning Ridge, Royal Step and Vesuvius. Lightning Ridge will be hardest to beat.
St. Joachim's Tennis Club Smart and atractive frocking was a feature at St. Joachim's Tennis Club dance and annual presentation of trophies, held in the Kindergarten Hall, Victoria Park, on Monday, 27th. ult. During the evening life honorary membership of the club was conferred upon Mr. A. G.

THE RECORD.
T is common enough to hear speculation in America whether there is going to be another European War. More often than not, it is decided that there will be such a war, though the reasons for the decision are not usually of any very great profundity. It_is then debated whether or not America can keep out by merely saying that she is going to keep out. There are others who think that they have solved the problem once they have determined to permit no more foreign loans. But the general belief is, I fancy, that it would be fair to say, that the United States will certainly

declare their neutrality at the inception of a new war and will do all that they can to keep out of it, that if it is short war or one in which the British are not involved such efforts are likely to be successful, but that they are not likely to be able to keep out of a major and extended war. Such speculations are familiar, but there is a further issue that is hardly ever raised by any American. There is the question, not whether Ainericf.a will come into

cOhe Lord's Prayer "Ask and You Shall Receive"
O
.dilk
N leaving Bethany Jesus again crossed over the Jordan in order to evangelise the mountainous country of Galaad, then under the rule of Herod Antipas, and known by the name of Perea. He is in some lonely locality of this region when Saint Luke proceeds .with his narrative. His disciples, drawing a little to one side, were standing gazing upon Him as He preserved the posture which every Oriental keeps when in prayer—erect, with uplifted arms, and eyes raised Heavenward. So soon as He had made an end of praying one of them approached Him. "Lord," he said, "teach us tu pray. just as John did for his disciples." The Lord's Prayer. Those who had been in the Baptist's company were numerous in these lands lying alongside the Jordan; apparently it was one of John's penitents who made this request of Jesus. A newcomer among the Apostles. he had not as yet learned that Prayer which the Lord gave them upon the Mount of Beatitudes; but remembering that the Forerunner had prayed with His disciples, this one longed to have Jesus do the same. The Master granted his wish. "When you pray," He responded, "say: Father, hallowed be Thy Name; Thy Kingdom come. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins, since we ourselves forgive all those that are indebted to us: and lead us not into temptation." This second form of the Lord's Prayer is a precious item in our inheritance: as it is given with fewer words in Saint Luke t han in Saint Matthew, it shows us that Jesus, even while prescribing certain formulas for our use. li ft the spirit of prayer free to sour upward unhampered. All that seemed of the highest importance in His eyes was that w e should call upon God as a Father, desiring, above all things. spiritual good things. and asking them for others as well as ourselves, for w ith charity warm at our hearts and with the spirit of forgiveness upon our lips. Ask, Seek, Knock. Furthermore, of such vital necessity is this duty of prayer that the Master was moved to speak more at length thereof, charging them to pray without c easing, to pray unwearyingly ; for though God may seem sometimes to be deaf to our cries, it is only to make us more sensible of the greatness of His gifts, to r ender the soul lowlier and to o verpower it with loving kindnesses and tender mercies. As He was wont to do, He put these lessons before them in a figurative form. Now He speaks of a . father who would not give his hungry child a stone in place of bread. nor a scorpion instead of an egg, nor a serpent when he is asked for a fish; then again He tells of a poor but hospitable m an who has received some w ayfarer in the middle of the night: at once he hastens off to
knock . at the door of a neighbour's house. "Let me have three loaves," he calls out: "for a guest has arrived at my house from off his journey and I have nothing to offer him." But the friend has gone to rest, his children . at his side, his dwelling barred and shut for the night, and he has no mind to rise from his bed. But his neighbour standing without in the darkness will not take any refusal ; he keeps on rapping, still rapping, until the other yields to his entreaties, giving him what he needs. "And in like manner. I say to you." the Lord pursued, "ask and it shall be given you; seek and you shall find: knock and it shall be opened to you." Two Blind Men. .It was about this same time, if not upon the very same day, that w e are told of two miracles performed by Jesus. He was betaking Himself to a dwelling whose proffered hospitalities he had just accepted, When two blind men became aware of His passing; forthwith they set out to follow Him, crying out: "Son of David, have pity .upon us!" At first the Lord appeared not to hear them: publicly to accept this honourable title in Perea, within the domains of Herod would have been to proclaim Himself the Messiah, and would have at once re-awakened the jealousy of the tetrarch. To evade this danger He therefore sought shelter within a dwelling; but even there the unfortunate men managed to rejoin Him. Their faith moved the Saviour greatly. "Do you believe." He said to them. "that I am able to do this for you?" To this they replied. . simply. "Yes, Lord." Then He touched their eyes, saving: -"Let it be done unto you according to Your faith!" and upon the instant they recovered their sight, while Jesus sternly w arned them "to take care and let no one know of this!" But they, listening only to the promptings of this new-born joy. spread the report throughout all that land, and thus, like so many others, only aggravated the clancrers and the enmities beneath which the Master was soon to succumb. •

It was a good stiff tramp, four or five Irish miles, through as lonely a tract of moorland as is to be found even in Ireland; but the morning was fine, was young and strong, and I enjoyed the walk thoroughly. On arriving at the lonely farm I found the door shut, and my ears were instantly greeted by the sound of angt y voices proceeding from within. After rapping loudly several times I was at last admitted, to find that the disputants were none other than Kathleen llournes and a ragged old man w ith a pale, w Tinkled face, strawcoloured hair, and watery eyes, which gleamed like those of a ferret.

KEADING FOK A LITURGICAL CATECHISM Ornaments of the Altar. O. What is the tabernacle veil or conopeum? A. ft is a tent-shaped covering mveloping the top and sides of the tabernacle, ornamented with braid and fripges, and divideu in front so as to permit of the opening of the tabernacle door. A curtain drawn across the tabernacle door cannot be regarded as a conopeum. The tabernacle should be so constructed as to permit of its being easily covered with a veil. A dome-shaped top (fixed or movable) is best suited for the carrying out of this strict liturgical regulation. O. What is the material of the tabernacle veil? A. Silk is advisable but not obligatory. Wool, linen, and even cotton are allowed. O. What colour must the veil be? A. White, or the colour of the office of the day. Black is never permitted, violet being used in its stead. Q. What is the significance of the tabernacle veil? A. The veil is a mark of sovereignty, and indicates that the K ing of kings dwells within the tabernacle. It is the only sure sign of the presence of the Blessed Sacrament. Q. What additional honour is paid to the tabernacle? A. A light, called the sanctuary lamp, must burn day and night before the tabernacle, that the faithful may be reminded that the Light of the World iwells therein. This regulation Df haying a light burn before the Blessed Sacrament dates from the 13th. century. It came into general use in the 16th. century. One light is absolutely necessary. It would be in accordance with the instructions of the "Ceremoniale" (xii. 17) to have many lights (odd in number) burning before the altar of the Blessed Sacrament.

Joint Pastoral Letter (Continued)
Changed Conditions of Our Time While fervently thanking Divine Providence for the graces and blessings that have marked the life of the Church in the first century of her existence here, the Fathers of this Fourth Plenary Council feel they cannot disperse without impressing on the minds of the faithful the changed conditions of our times compared with those in which our predecessors lived, and solemnly warning them against the grave dangers to Christian faith and morals which some of those changen conditions involve. In issuing such warning and suggesting trie means to be applied to combat the ever-increasing dangers to Christian faith and virtue, the Archbishops and Bishops feel they cannot do better than recall to the minds of the people the wise counsels of the present Holy Father who, in his memorable Encyclical letters, has with a master-mind exposed the fallacies and wickedness of those modern movements that would alienate the people from God. deny His rights and enslave and destroy His Church—the _ supreme guardian of Christian faith and morals and the strongest bulwark against the total subversion of our Christian civilisation.
be master of himself in these days when the winds of strife and persecution blow so fiercely, but will be swept away defenceless in the new deluge _ which threatens the world." (Encyclical Divini Redemptoris.) That Communism 'strikes at the very foundation of society is clearly evident from its history in those countries in which it has prevailed or got a foothold. It aims at the overthrow of refl.-ion and refuses to human life any sacred or spiritual character, robbing human personality of all its dignity and making man a mere cogwheel in its system. It denies to parents the right to educate their children according to the dictates of their conscience, and in turn denies to the children any right to a knowledge of God and the end for which they were created.
,:orks uf art uf which they were I ie repositories. It fias well been said that the persecutions of the Roman Emperors Who sought to eradicate the infant Church pale before the savage and relentless onslaught of the "Reds" in Spain against everybody and everything that stands for God and religion. We warn our people, more particularly the youth and working men, to be on their guard against the crafty methods by which this movement is being propagated. The literature that constitutes a large portion of the Communistic propa0-andi. in Australia ,and much of which comes from overseas, is unblushingly atheistic, scoffing at God and everything that is dear to the Christian heart. Meanwhile Governments assume a passive attitude and the daily press issues no warning against
Communism Condemned. Of all the evils of our time, Atheistic Communism is the most deadly. Against this insidious anti-Christian movement that has already spread like a cancer through a large portion of the body of society, His Holiness has issued a salutary warning and indicated clearly the precautions to be taken by pastors of souls and the faithful in general. As a fundamental remedy he calls for "a sincere renewal ot private and public life according to the principles of the Gospel by all those who belong to the fold of Christ that they may be in truth the salt of the earth to preserve human society from total corruption." While rejoicing over so many of the faithful and in those singularly choseh The Fourth Plenary Council was fittingly inaugurated and terminated souls who in our day have been in St. Mary's Cathedral, Sydney—the Mother Church of Australia, and elevated to the honours of the the cradle of the Catholic Faith in this Continent. altar, the great Pontiff expresses deep sorrow over those who reCommunistic Propaganda in this growing evil.

charge to His Church, and to that charge, thank Heaven, she has never been unfaithful. When the Fathers of the First Plen. ary Council met in Sydney fifty-two years ago they left on record their determination to maintain their Catholic schools. The State grants had been taken away several years before and many had predicted that the Catholic schools, like those of other religious bodies, would disappear. The contrary, however, occurred and speaking of the blessings of Divine Providence on their struggle to maintain religious education, the Fathers said "God has been largely helpful of His Church during her present struggle. . Truly at this moment does this Catholic Church of Australia, especially in the matter of Christian schools), stand alone in this southern world." Since these words were written Catholic schools and teachers in Australia and New Zealand have increased fourfold. so that if half a century ago one of the outstanding features of the life of the Church in Australia and New Zealand was her fidelity to Christian education, it is much more so to-day We believe as firmly as did the Ca. tholic Bishops of fifty years ago that in maintaining our religious schools we are doing the best service to our people and to the nation, hut like them we regret the deep prejudice that perpetuates injustice to our people by denying them, for the education of their children, any share in the public funds to which they as taxpayer5 contribute. We feel that fair-mm led men in public and in private life will vet recognise the justice of our claim. But whatever the future may bring we know that our schools will conTinue and that their numbers, efficiency and Christian character will make them growing factors for good in the life of the nation. The Work of Our Catholic Teachers. And here we desire to place on re• cord our deep appreciation of the splendid work of the priests, religi. brothers, and sisters of the van; teaching orders who have so devot ly carried on the work of Christian education in these southern lands proving themselves equal to every new demand made on them, and reaching a high standard of efficiency, thus plac ing our Catholic schools and colleges. in an unassailable position. Through the agency of our religious sisterhoods Catholic education has been carried right to the hackblocks of the country. bringing the inestimable blessings of religious training and Christian refinement to the little ones of the "bush." The children that they are not able +o reach are receiving religious in. struction through the excellent con respondence courses established for that laudable purpose. Fruits of Catholic Education. The fruits of Catholic education will become more happily manifest with the passing of the years. They are manifest now in our family life and in our splendid Associations of men and women such as the Holy Name Society, the Society of the Sacred Heart, and the Sodality of the Children of Marv, which so frequently edify us by their religious fervour and devotion. It has been well said that "so long as the Christian school exists the path to the Church will never be grass-grown." It is not the Church alone, however, but society at large that benefits by the religious school. As Pills XI. points out, it is men and women so fashioned that promote in great part the good fortune of the nation, for Catholics. if they faithfully and religiously observe the dictates of Catholic education. in peace and in war, make the best kind . of citizen. The religion of Catholics has never clashed with their lo4t and allegiance to the laws of t country in which they live, and of that truth Australia herself has had stet big proof.
