CARDINAL KASPAR. A t Carlsbad. the noted CzechoSlovakian health resort, His Eminence Cardinal Kaspar, Archbishop of Prague, who is recuperating there after a serious illness and painful operation. had a visit from the stigmatised Therese Neumann, of Konnersreuth, Germany. In 1920, when Cardinal Kaspar was the Bishop of Hradec Kralove, he visited Therese Neumann at Konnersreuth twice, with the permission of the Bishop of Regensburg, each time seeing her for a longer period. He incorporated his experience in a book published at that time, under the title of "MY Impressions of Konnersreuth." The book has had two editions. Therese Neumann, who is staying in Carlsbad. had now repaid the Cardinal's visit, and told him that upon hearing of his recen1 illness she had offered one Friday's suffering for his recovery.

Melbourne is in the grip of a major newspaper war. Hostilities began with the xvitharawal of the "Argus" from the Australian Associated Press and its announcement of an "Independent Cable Service." to begin on November 15. The "Herald" combine, seriously perturbed, held a council of war, and launched an intensive counter -action on the advertising front. The prospects for the civilian population are uncertain. The enterprise of the "Argus" is of particular interest to the Catholic body. The cable services have long been discredited in the minds of the informed. The campaign of misrepresentation, silence and suppression of essential facts which has characterised. for instance. the Spanish war news has forfeited among Catholics even that guarded credence which they were willing to grant to cable news. In the matter of Spain, we have not been getting unbiassed news from both sides, but mainly propaganda in favour of the Reds. The new "Argus," which has already made such a favourable impression, has a unique opportunity of introducing. in the interests of truth and justice, an impartial service and o f winning the support of thousands of readers disgusted with the Red propaganda which increasingly colours news from abroad. "J.x.C." The J.O.C. is a part of that section of Catholic Action in Belgium and France which is the organisation of youth for the lay apostolate. The Catholic Movement in France may be called the "j x. C.--x being a variable. Thus we have :J.E.C.—Jeunesse Etudiante Catholique. J.A.C.—Jettnesse Agricole Catholique. J.Q.C.—Jeunesse Ouviere Catholique. J.U.C.--Jeunesse Universitaire Catholique. J.I.C.—Jeunesse Independante Catholique. This scheme —very French in i ts theoretical perfection (it seetns to include everybody except babies in arrnsl—works admirably in practice, with the result that Catholic Action among the youth in France. working w ithout muddle. overlapping, or lack of co-ordination. has earned the admiration of its bitterest opponents

By Does God Matter For Me? Rich C. C. Martindale, S.J. and Cowan. This book is meant to be not only a theoretical one, that is, concerned merely with the question, "Does God Exist?" but also a practical one in answer to the question, "What does it matter to me whether He does exist or not?" This is because the author is determined to resist the misconception that God's existence can be known only by a sort of "sixth sense," or by direct intuition, or be held only by what is sometimes called blind faith, or on the grounds that "there must be something or other at the , .4, .441.#.4 ONIP41 041NONIP#4..#11."1.0",,IsirsilINIsdp#####.11.41.11

THE RECORD

France Falters in Social Upheaval (Continued from Page 11.)

"We stretch out our hand to you, Catholic workers"; "France, free, strong ,and happy"; "True popular democracy"; "Soviets everywhere" are watchwords ot French communism which regards itself as the "dauphin of Socialism" and awaits the hour to strike. The Common Front involves a change in tactics, but the fundamental principles and objectives of Communism remain unchanged. Will Blum or Chautemps prove the French Kerensky? "ts there real dapger of social upheaval and civil war in France? No one can deny the reality of the Communist menace in France. But the difficulties in the way of Bolshevising the nation are immense. A final vie. tory for Franco in Spain will abate the menace. Again, the Right and Centre are ready to fight to the last ditch against any attempted Communistic coup d'etat. Radical-Socialists, if a violent crisis arose, would as a class resist Communism. Chautemps himself has denounced Communism because "it produces panic and social hatred." In October. 1936, the annual Congress of the party reiterated its loyalty to the Declaration of the Rights of Man as the charter of democracy. "The Declaration consecrates the sanctity of property." The Congress also denounced the seizure of factories as an attack on liberty. Bulwark of Distributism. France faces a real crisis. Peasant unrest is deep and widespread, yet the wide distribution of ownership in land constitutes a bulwark against Social revolution. In 1931 out of 1413.000 farms in France, 1,340,000 were one-man properties. In addition there were 1,042,000 farms with from one to five helpers. Even in industry, 1,168,000 French artisans work on their own. Out of 761.100 manufacturing plants in France, 560,000 employ less than ten workers. This wide distribution of landed property and the great spread of small scale industry are hardly conducive to the advent of Communism. Yet France stands in need of radical social and political reforms. The parliamentary system is often inept, at times taintThe control ed by corruption. of credit is monopolised by a Big busitiess is small group. often selfish and short-sighted, and the peasants have legitimate M.

But among the paganised masses the propaganda of the Common Front. true to its watchword. "capitalise every grievance," still spreads. It is not probable that Thorez and his colleagues expect an imupheaval in mediate social France. They seek for the pre-

sent to indoctrinate an increasing number of toilers and peasants with the teachings and promises of Communism. They strive to maintain and strengthen the alliance of France with their master, Stalin. They await the hour to strike, perhaps in the wake of another ,world war. Soul of France Catholic. A s with us, so in France, mere negation will never beat back the menace of the Common Front. French Catholics must show to the toiling masses that in the Church of their fathers they possess their most loyal protector and friend. Splendid Catholic social action is being done in France. It is the truest antidote to the poison of Commurfism and the menace of civil strife. In October, 1936, the French Cardinals, in a joint pastoral, declared: "The choice of France is a question bf life and death. France must be loyal to her Christian principles, her Latin culture and her traditions. Then she will enjoy wise and happy liberty." The soul of France is Catholic. Her history and traditions are rooted in the Faith. Through the teachings of the Faith France can correct the abuses of Capitalism, end the evil legacy of Liberalism and Radicalism, restore the vitality of her family and become the standard bearer of the Cross in our modern world. Belloc seems correct when declares: he "France is the battleground." On the issue of the conflict there waged may well hinge the future of Christian culture in Europe.— "America."

SOUTH PERTH This Week's Fete, On Friday evening, in the Swanstreet Hall, our two days' Fete will be opened by the Vicar General, Monsignor Fagan, at 8 p.m. The parish is not over-heated at the thought of the fete, but we are hoping that the attendance will be good, and numbers will create enthusiasm. The stallholders are keen and optimistic about the results. lAgain we advise you to delay your Xmas shopping until you see what the stalls have .to offer. All the fun of the fair will be there, so come to enjoy it. The proceeds will be devoted to the necessary renovations to our parochial school. The Prize Packet. The draw of the prize winners will take place on Friday, and the lucky ones will receive their gifts on the opening night of the fete. To-morrow, Sunday, December 5, is the last day for payments to be made. If you are in arrears see Mr. NIcEncroe as you Unless your card leave the church. is fully paid up by to-morrow you forfeit any prizes that you may be fortunate enough to draw. There are six vacancies, which anyone may buy in to-morrow. St. Patrick's School. On Carey-street, St- Patrick's School. Church is due to kiss the sky-line any day. It can be plainly seen from Canning- Highway. His Grace will bless and open it on Jan. 30, so Mr. Horace Costello must see that it is ready. The first Mass will be said on the first Sunday in February at 8 a.m., and on every Sunday after that at the same hour, a very popular hour for winter and summer. St. Patrick is getting busy on those desks, for every one promised to date was a voluntary offering, made without any asking. The desks are the dual type as used in State schools— they can almost resist the efforts of children to injure them, and that is saying a mouthful. In honour of St. Patrick, Messrs. Prank Walsh, W. V. Courtney. and W. V. Murphy have promised a desk each—and, sure, why shouldn't,they —for listen to the Cel. tic ring of their names. Mrs. Wilson is hoping that some one will join .her on a seat (that sounds exciting, and ths only invitation needed is to pay for half the desk). The dual desks cost 32s., and we believe that St. Patrick will get them all. If he does not get them all then, we fear, he will give St. Columba a stony stare up above. Make no mistake about it, saints are very anxious to hold all their clients. It must be one of the attractions of heaven that the saints know their faithful ones. St. Patrick has his day, yes, no other patron has such a day, for the 17th. of March has no boundaries. But he does not like to be forgotten for the rest of the year. Over here we all have much to make up to him for we have made a tremendous fuss over his spiritual son, St. Columba. Here is an opportunity. If every desk, 32 in all, is a voluntary offering, as the first ones are, then he will be pleased, for we had to ask and ask for those seats in the church. Wanted -also in the name. of St. Patrick, a chalice for the new Church.

How empty the School will look without a statue 4 sf Patrick.

E[ER PERTH, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1937,

CREMATION

DEFINITE step in the progression of Paganism was marked by the first holocaust which was offered to the obscene gods in the new Crematorium during the We have every confidence that from experiweek. ences in other parts of the world, notably Paris, very few will avail themselves of this odious practice. The Catholic case against cremation is clear and strong. While no doctrinal point is at stake, the Church's disciplinary action in this matter can be but understood from the historical viewpoint. The tradition of the Christian Church and of the Jews before it, was always towards earth burial, except in a few exceptional circumstances which the Church recognises to-day. The introduction of cremation in the decline of Roman paganism was intended almost as a demonstration of the impossibility of the resurrection of the body. And it cannot be denied that the modern revival is unpleasantly bound up with circumstances that make it appear a public professon of irreligion and materialism. The first official recognition of this practice from modern governments was obtained by the Freemasons in the last century—a fact which smacks unfavourably of naturalistic design and intent. The condemnation of cremation by the Church has an added strength by virtue of the fact that ecclesiastical law has here en. phasised and reinforced the purely natural tendencies of humanity. So often the divine or ecclesiastical enactment seems to run counter to nature, requiring obedience which can only be given when supplemented by the special grace of God. But in the matter of cremation there is complete harmony between the promptings of the human heart and the demands of the Church. Every type of human affection—filial, conjugal, fraternal, even that of friendship, revolts against the idea of cremation as inhuman. It at once strikes the Christian mind as unseemly that the human body, which has enjoyed the indwelling of the Holy Ghost, and has been sanctified by the Sacraments, should be finally subjected to a treatment, which outrages human tradition and natural inclination. Other arguments can be drawn from medico-legal sources that point to certain practical difficulties which cremation lays in the path of the detection of crimes of violence. But nothing is so impressive as the reflection that the practice has been chiefly employed by the enemies of the Christian Faith and will so be used again. To some it might seem that cremation is merely a fad, an eceentricitv, perhaps, on the part of the rich who showered no largesse on humanity during life, but find it appropriate to shower their ashes on muncipal rose gardens after death. Even from such a narrow angle cremation symbolises that contraction of the heart which we call meanness. Cremation is a fittivg crown of sterility for a barren life. It is a denial of the last generous human gesture by which even death, in the natural order, is fruitful for new seeds of life. By earth burial a man shares in the treroendous democracy of the dead, rotting "to fruit and flowers like Adam and all mankind." But cremation is more than a fad. It is a logical step in the argument of paganism. The man who artificially prevents conception. who wilfully thwarts birth, who interferes with the right to live of the insane, the incurably sick, or the aged, who preaches pacifism and perpetuates the class war, whr, sweats the poor and virtually denies them the right to live-7-, this same man recks nothing of the living, what reverence w:11 he have for the dead?

and to hear the Bishop's superbly simple little plans, devoid alike of scientific and moral considerations, there is an instant of temp. tation wherein one wonders whether there is perhaps just one exception possible where these things might have a use commensurate with their evil. But it is a temptation and we reject it. It has only been said authoritatively of one, that "it were better for that man that he had not been born," and it is not permitted us to The make particular moral judgments on the rest of humanity.

THE RECORD

Circular Letter

OF HIS GRACE THE ARCHBISHOP TO THE PARISH PRIESTS OF THE ARCHDIOCESE, REGARDING JUVENILE BRANCHES OF THE H.A.C.B.S. N ovember 30, 1937. Dear Rev. Father,— Doubtless you are already well aware of the leakage resulting from the lack of organising our Catholic boys after school. As this period of their lives is the most formative, it is likewise a time of greatest danger to their Faith and morals. It is but fitting, therefore, that no effort be spared to shield them from the evil influences of a Pagan environment. This can only i)e effectively accomplished by organising Catholic Clubs and .Associations, which, because of the facilities they offer for recreation and sport, will attract our boys and safeguard, at the same time, their spiritual outlook. Hitherto, owing to he inadequacy of our Catholic Youth Organisations, our boys have joined non-Catholic Clubs to. the sake of the sporting facilities offered. Having thus lost touch with Catholic environment, their Faith has been weakened, and they have drifted into non-Catholic marriages, frequently with eventual shipm-eck to their Faith. To counteract this grave danger is the objective of our Catholic Clubs and Associations. Those already in existence have done excellent work and deserve the encouragement of every Catholic. Unfortunately, however, their scope is still insufficiently comprehensive to cover this wide and important field of Catholic Action. Their activity must be supplemented by other organisations, if this field of missionary work is to be fully exploited. I am pleased to be able to announce that already the Hibernian Australasian Catholic Benefit Society has agreed to co-operate in this matter. • The District Board has decided to establish Juvenile Branches in association with the adult branches of the Society. These Juvenile Branches will receive and cater for, not only boys who have left School. but also boys who are still at •school; in order that they may be already members of this Catholic organisation at the time when the protection afforded by the Society will he most needed by them. A most important factor in its success will be your sympathetic and practical interest, which I now solicit most earnestly. The local adult branch will, of course, be responsible for the organisation and supervision of the Juvenile Branch, which for a small weekly contribution will constitute a Juvenile Benefit Society as well. It will thus encourage thrift in its members. provide sick and funeral benefits for them, while catering for their spiritual and physical welfare besides. It is my earnest hope that wherever possible a Juvenile Branch will be formed in every Parish. Prior to its formation, a representative of the Society will call on you, and explain its organisation. I bless this work and recommend it whole-heartedly to your zeal, for I feel that it will supply a long felt want in welding together our Catholic youth. With every good wish. I am, dear Rev. Father. Faithfully yours in Christ.

Archbishop of Perth The associated bookmakers and many of their friends visited the Clontarf Orphanage on Sunday last, when a cricket match was played against a team from the orphanage. Opportunity was also taken to inspect the institution and afternoon tea was served in the dining hall by the younger boys. During the afternoon a presentation was made to the Principal (Rev.

Among the visitors were His Grace the Archbishop, who was accompanied by His Lordship Right Rev. Dr. Raible, Vicar -Apostolic of the Kimberleys, and Right Rev. Monsignor Fagan, V.G. Stalls were conducted on the grounds and a pleasant afternoon was spent by the visitors.

The Home is undenominational, and cares for invalids of all creeds, amongst whom are many Catholics.

The programme opened with a pianoforte overture by Miss P. Brophy, a fantasia oi Irish Airs, embracing such old favourites as "The Harp That Once" and "The Minstrel Boy." Miss Kath. Dunne sweetly rendered "The Kerry Dance," and obliged again with "Believe Me if All Those Endearing Young Charms." Mr. M. Eustace met with well-merited applause for his spirited interpretation of "The Dead Who Died for Ireland," and Mr. W. A. Brown very effectively recited "Does it Always Rain in Ireland." Mr. Pat Hegney gave several vocal items, all of which were well received. Instrumental dacces (violin and accordion) were rendered by Mr. and Mrs. J. Healy, violin solos by Mr. T. O'Brien. and the "Londonderry Air" was played by an instrumental trio, Misses M. M. and K. Hanly. An Irish hornpipe was given by Miss Lorna Bourke, champion Irish step dancer of Western Australia, and songs and dances were rendered by pupils of Misses Jean Hicks and Vera Stewart. A feature of the programme was the robust singing of Mr. James Foran, Irish tenor. whose winning manner quickly won over the appreciative audience. The pipers. who were introduced to the audience by the High Chief Ranger (Mr. M. Kinsella), included two of the foundation members of the first Irish pipe band in Western Australia. Messrs. H. Grieg and C. Rain. The purpose of the function was to provide funds for the equipping of a similar hand to he organised by the I.N.F.

Geraldton Diocese, To the Editor. Sir,—In your last issue of "The —Record: and under the above heading, a long article about his impression of the "expansive diocese of Geraldton" was contributed by a "Visitor" thereto. I read it and found it to be both interesting for its contains and attractive for its fine diction. But in the course of his reverie the "Visitor," unintentionally-, overlooked ecclesiastical boundaries, and hence the following offending sentence: "It—the Geraldton Diocese—extends from New Norcia in the South to beyond Port Hedland in the North." That sentence, such as it is, falls very short of the real truth. I should call it a grammatical deficiency, and in pointing it out to your readers I _only have in mind Samuel Johnson's saying: "That the deficiencies of the day will be supplied by the morrow." Owing to the fact that the number of priests at New Norcia had considerably- increased since its union with the Benedictine Cassinese Congregation of Subiaco, Italy, the late Bishop Gibney, of Perth, of his own accord, offered part of his extensive diocese to New Norcia, and Bishop Torres, the then Superior, gladly accepted the generous offer for the sake of charity and for the good of souls. Thereupon Bishop Torres applied to Rome and by Decree of the Sacred Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith, issued on April 29, 1903, the boundaries of the already existing diocese of New Norcia, since 1867, were permanently extended from 30th. degree, south, to 31 degree 20 minutes parallel of latitude, and from the sea to 120th. degree, east longitude, including Southern Cross. Now the parallel line from west of 30th. degree, south, to the 120th. degree, east longitwle, runs some three miles north of .Marchagee, which local,ity is, approximately, SO miles north of New Norcia. It is evident, therefore, that the Diocese of Geraldton extends not from New Norcia, in the south, hut from approximately 80 miles north of New Norcia.—Yours, etc., DOM WILLIAM, 0.S.13.

THE RECORD

Picnic. On Sunday last, the choir and altar boys went to Yanchep. Tom Murphy's Ford truck was fitted out like a Metro bus and did yeoman service, The children enjoyed .the trip better than if they had travellol by bus, for after all one can travel by bus any day. They disported themselves in the s wimming pool for hours, and I am sure that many of them are sore since from Undue exposure to the sun. The visit to the crystal cave was the event of the day. What the Beaconsfield children do not know about stalactites and stalacmites or stalacbites, as some of them called them, is not worth k nowing. We left there about 6 p.m., and travelling at a steady 30 miles per hour, arrived home at 8 o'clock, We are grateful to Inspector Lewis, of the Traffic Department, for permission to use the truck, and to Mr. Murphy for letting us have the use of it. Sports. We -are going to have sports before the holidays, and judging by the intensive training, many records will be broken. •*

Subiaco Children of Mary. The usual monthly meeting of the above Sodality will take place on Sunday, December 12, instead of December 19, but the Communion will be held on the latter date at the '7 o'clock Mass. All members are requested to be present at both the meeting and Communion. Gift Sunday at the Orphanage. A visit that is looked forward to by a great many people, and not by Catholics alone, is the annual Gift Sunday of St. Joseph's Orphanage and Foundling Home, Subiaco. Proof of this was forthcoming last Sunday, when a large attendance at the institution made the day a happy one for the inmates, Early in the afternoon the grounds of the Orphanage were thronged with people, several of whom brought gifts for the orphans, while others patronised the various stalls, Many of the visitors were shown over the institution, and several remarked on the well-kept grounds and sur:oundings, and the neat appearance of the children. The many stalls situated among the grounds were well patronised, one in particular (the sweets and ice-cream), while the lucky-dips found favour with the children. The spinning wheel was a great success, and the many raffles brought in a considerable amount. The Sisters of the Orphanage are indebted to all those who helped at the stalls during the day. During the afternoon the Clontarf Orphanage Band was in attendance, and played selections on the lawns, being well applauded by the crowd. Altogether the function was a great success, and it is certain that the funds will be materially increased as a result.

Toodyay

A euchre party and dance is to be held on December 11 for the Convent. We hope that our people will show their appreciation for what the Sisters are doing for us by patronising this entertainment and making it a great success. Religious Holiday School. This school (December 27 to January 9) has been mentioned many times already, but we wish to keep it very much before the eyes of the country parents on account of its great importance. A neglect of this opportunity may reflect on the whole future of the children otherwise cut off from any organised religious training.

The Victoria Park Town Hall was taxed to its utmost capacity on the evening of November 18, when parents and well-wishers of the Convent School children assembled for the annual concert. he programme opened with a song by the school choir, whose clear sweet voices gave a pleasing rendering of An Irish jig, ' Come to the Fair." by R, O'Connor, was then skilfully danced. The next item was a sketch, "The Three-Sided Questions' in which P. Harford, N. Jackson and K. Savage showed both humour and talent. Little Betty Wilson, as usual, gained great applause for a clever toe dance. The verse-speaking choir gave great pleasure, and showed evidence of excellent training in their production, "The Girl Who Smiled."

The remainder of the programme was taken up by an entertaining operetta, "Pearl the Fisherrnaiden."

The annual concert presented by the pupils of St. Anne's Convent School, North Fremantle, attracted a large and enthusiastic audience to the local Town Hall on Tuesday evening, November 2. Judging from the applause which greeted each item, the lengthy and varied programme met with the approval and delight of all present. Among the gathering were noticed Rev, Father Smith, Rev. Father Lynch and the Mayor and Mayoress of North Fremantle, Mr. and Mrs. A. Turton. The programme opened with a vocal chorus by the class, followed by an action song, in which several jolly "Chinamen" earned well merited apFollowing a tuneful and deplause, licately executed pianoforte duet by Misses M. Robinson and E. Milbourne, a colourful scene was presented by the class in their rendering of an action song, "Rainbow"—and what a wonderful rainbow they formed. Six tiny tots (three little girls daintily attired in blue, and three small boys) were loudly applauded for their rendering uf "We Don't Want, to Grow Up," hile little Shirley Ritchie was exceedingly good in her .

A delightful playette, "The Magic Word," presented by the infants, all of whom carried out their parts exceedingly well, aroused a good deal of laughter A dance by Miss Alexander, and a song and tableau, "Dames of Yesterday," by the class, brought the first half of the delightful programme to a close. A fter a short interval the second half o f the programme was opened with the Junior Percussion Band, which was a gem of the evening. Luminous club swinging by the senior girls was a wonderful surprise, and had to he repeated. A number of gay Gypsies presented 'a picturesque scene, followed by a captivating performance, "The Skipping Rope Dance," for which the Misses J. Monoghan, Alexander, E. Miller and T.

HE man who had killed Mr. Craig lay dead in the lonely farm, still . guarded formally by the police, though he had escaped the punishment of his crime, and was far beyond the reach of any human law. During my residence in Ireland I had been to many a wake, but to none so strange or terrible as this one. On the bed in the inner room, where he had so long fought for life, the dead man lay in his grave clothes, his eyes closed, his face washed clean, and his hair and beard smoothed and trimmed by his sister's hands; the usual saucerful of tobacco was placed upon his breast, and on the table near the bed were clay pipes, glasses, and a bottle of spirits; but Kathleen Bournes was practically the only mourner. From time to time one of the peasantry would enter bareheaded., nod to Kathleen, glance at the corpse, and steal quietly away but there was neither "keening" nor rejoicing, such as are common at wakes among. the Irish peasantry, for outside in the kitchen sat two armed constables. and the shadow of a terrible crime was on the miserable house. Twice during the three days of the "waking" I walked over to the place, and on each occasion I found Kathleen sitting alone, her face pale as death, but perfectly calm. She was dressed in her best Sunday attire, and had taken unusual pains with her person. a On her head was white cap, completely concealing her hair. On my first visit I said only a few words of trite consolation, but during my sec..ond visit, on the third day, I drew a chair near to hers and spoke to her more freely. She seemed to appreciate my sympathy, although it awakened in her little or no emotion; she seemed, indeed, beyond emotion of any sort, save the dull strong Only sense of utter despair. once, when I spoke of the dead man, did she emerge from her lethargy. with a vestige of her old passionate manner. .40.1.41NOWNP4.4"4.4.4.4.4,40,1 , 11.4.4.4.40,~4•00,40, 1,0.4...4.0

" All alone?" I asked. " Yes, sure. The house will be mine, and the bit o' land, and there'll be bite and sup enough for a lone woman." "But you are young still," I said, "with all the world before you. Some day, and soon I hope, you'll forget all this sorrow and enter upon a new life. That's why I asked you if you meant to remain here. The place is so desolate—the associations c onnected with it are so terrible—" "It's my home for all that," the girl interposed quietly. "But it won't be always your home. By-and-by, when you marry Her face flushed slightly, but her expression did not change; the same dreamy, far-off expressiol, dwelt in her eyes. "Is it me?" she asked. "Sure I would never marry! What man would look at the likes of me--the sister of him that's lying there, with the shame o' murder on his name?

J ust then the door opened, and an old man, the same whom I had once found in die house disputing with Kathleen, crept into the room and approached the bedside. He gazed silently at the dead man, crossed himself, and heaved a heavy sigh; then, still without a word, he approached the table and poured himself out a glass of spirits. K athleen watched him quietly as he drank off the spirits and wiped

The old man groaned. "Then he'll niver be paying me back the three pounds of good money he kept back when he sold my mare at Kilsyth. OChone! ochone!" "Speak low," said Kathleen, a dark shadow on her handsome face. "It's the truth I'm telling," "He kept whined the other. the three pounds to spend in drink, and I'll never see it this side of purgatory!" . And with trembling hand he poured himself out another glass of spirits and drank it off. Kathleen watched him, and the frown on her face deepened.

Come to me after the burying, and you can have the in "Is it in earnest ye are?" cried the man, looking at her eagerly. "Three pounds, and never a shilling less?" Kathleen nodded, and chuckling feebly to himself the old man left the room. I rose and held out my hand. "I wish I could be of service to "I don't like the you," I said. thought of you remaining here and brooding over the past." "Your honour's good and kind," was her reply, "but no man can help me, and sure I don't complain." I left her seated alone in the room, her bright tearless eyes fixed wearily on the dead man's face. As I passed out through the kitchen the two constables rose and saluted me, military fashion. All that day the girl's face haunted me. and my heart went out in pity to the lonely creature. left in the world without a friend. I knew well that her heart was still frill of its hopeless passion for Miclrrael Creenan, and small as was my faith in feminine fidelity,I felt sure that in this case the woman's devotion would be permancut. * * I spent the evening at Craig Castle, and found the shadow there also. Although she was r elieved ,from all anxiety on her lover's account, Eileen was sad and very silent. The suffering; she had .undergone, with its prolonged mental strain, had sadly tried her strength, and I did not disguise my anxiety concerning her physical condition. "If you will be guided by me," I said, "you will go away from Mylrea as soon as possible, and remain away for some time. I'm your physician in ordinary, remember, and shall be very angry if my injunctions are disobeyed." "I am going to obey them," she answered. "I shall stay with some friends in Dublin." She added, looking me anxiously in the face: "Michael is going away too. We shall not meet again until the winter is over." "And then!" "And then, I don't know. Sometimes I feel as if it was wicked to care so much for him. My - .)oor father did not wish me to carry Michael, and—and She paused, turning her face away to hide her tears.

THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK. so Sunday: When there is much that is beautiful in life, so much that is enobling, it seems a pity to let futile pinpricks ruin one's day. Monday: It will be a great consolation for us at the hour of death to see that we are to be judged by Him Whom we have loved above all things during life. Tuesday: The trembling of the heart under the sting of sorrow is the cry of the soul for succour —and the good God conies. Thou art ever near, my God.—Golden Grains. Wednesday: Everybody in the world has a cross of some kind t o bear. It may be one thing unseen in the silence of the heart's profoundest depths, or it may be one that is painfully visible to all. Thursday: It is largely a matter of choice, resting with the bearers, but experience teaches that he finds his cross lightest who has learned—bitter though the lesson is—to smile at his own miseries. Friday: We are too eager, alas, for earthly things which are of no value, and are slothful and indifferent with regard to heavenly goods; we hotly pursue trifles and are cold to true riches.--St.

Jerotne.

Saturday: To some God gives but one great cross to bear; on others He showers what seems like a multitude of smaller ones. But, great or small, one or many, the cross is there, and must he cprried. Some bearers wreathe thnir crosses with discontent; o thers with the soft blossoms of paC once and liope.

THE LATE MR. M. F. KENNEDY On Friday evening, November 12, , a rumor went around that the above gentleman had been removed to hospital. None who had seen him in his usual jovial spirits on Thursday could have anticipated that as the shades of evening fell on Sunday, the 14th the shadow of death was also closing round one of the best known and best loved parishioners of Queen's Park. But so it was to be. He w hose every deed during life was so quiet and unostentatious, was destined to steal away to his eternal reward while many were still unaware of his serious illness. One of nature's gentlemen has slipped away, and his sorely bereaved sister. Miss M. Kennedy of the Kewpie Tea Gardens, has the consolation of knowing that her grief is being shared 1w a wide circle of friend of all creeds and classes. "Unless you become as little children you shall not enter the Kingdom of Heaven." says our Divine Lord.

To his devoted sister, who is left behind to mourn the loss of a devoted brother, we tender our heartfelt sympathy.

DEFENCE of the examination systeni was made in Melbourne last week by the Rev. Dr. M. Beovich (Director of Catholic Education). "The examination system is not perfect," said Dr. Beovich, "but one should be very cautious and slow in advocating complete abolition of the external system. We must make sure that a few experimentalists do not attempt to abolish competitive examinations that lead to the public service or to secondary or university scholarships. In this imperfect world the alternative system of internal tests and personal selection would make possible appointments by preference or patronage." The occasion was the speech night of the St. Kilda Christian Brothers, and the Principal of the College (Rev. Brother Crennar) also referred to the examinatious question. - Australia was visited this year by men and women interested in what they called 'new' education," he said. "We were impressed by the sane and w ell-balanced criticism from, some delegates, particularly those from England. Others, whu condemned wholesale, educational practice that has stood the test and produced tangible re-. stilts, appeared to be quacks and opportunists. The cry of `aboi. ish examinations' was a sample. "While prescribed work might be lessened, I fear the result to the modern boy, surrounded by so many powerful distractions, if the examination stimulus was removed. "Emphasis was laid on educating for life, for character, and for appreciation of the good, the beautiful and the true. This has been the basic and inspiring motive of Christian and Catholic teaching through the ages. European civilisation is Christian and Catholic; all that is great in architecture, art and literature emanates from Christianity. Normal youths in a Christian school eagerly absorb and retain noble ideals and aspirations. "Whatever might be done about replacing public examinations by school accrediting, we hope that the filling of vacancies in the Commonwealth and State public service will continue by the present fair and democratic system. The examination system was begun in England to replace the scandalous practice of political patronage, by which every person of influence could 'get his worthless friends or reilr tives into the service. The proposal to replace examination by an interview before a committee would be most unfair and undemocratic for reasons which must be obvious.'
