His Worry b ecomes so great that he lies down, overpowered with grief. In his sleep an Angel comes to him and calms his doubts about thc Holy Virgin: "Joseph, let be thy feeble thought. Take Mary, thy wife, and dread thec naught, For wickedlie she hath not wrought. But this is God's will. The child shee shall beare, Of the Holy Ghost begotten is." We are now introduced to a new scene 1;1 which Caesar Augustus with great displa of

The herald then announces to St. Joseph the text of his imperial proclamation, and there is a quaintly human touch about the latter's complaint: "Shall poore as well as riche paye? My faye, Sir, I hope nay. That were a wonderous wrong."

leaving our Catholic forefathers to the enjoyment of the second and third sections of this beautiful Miracle play—the homage of the Shepherds and the adoration of the Magi.

NON ERAT EIS LOCUS

But prudent St. Joseph accepts the proffered advice of the herald to go to Bethlehem "lest he fall in danger." On arrival in Bethlehem Mary feels that the time has come when she is to give birth to the Infant Saviour. The scene is very simple and touching. And when the Blessed Mother cries out to Joseph : "Ah ! Joseph, tydinges aright. I have a sonne, a sweet wight. Lord, thanked be thou, much of mighte, For proved is thy word." we reach the climax of this first pageant. And at this point we must make our departure,

1937

Never before has there BEEN a car like the 1937 Little Vauxhall. Here is a beauty . . . a luxury . . . a performance beyond the small car owner's highest hopes. You listen for the noise of the engine . . and you're baffled by its uncanny silence and smoothness. You wait expectantly for body vibration and noise as you see a rippled road surface in front . . . but, thanks to Vauxhall's "Turret" Top Body, and Independent Front Wheel Springing, that vibration and noise do not happen. There's not a tremor . . not a note of resonance. Your Little Vauxhall rides smoothly on with only the level rythmic rising and descending motion of Independent Front Wheel Springing. Noise is damped out . . . for not only the sides and floor, but the roof of the "Turret" Top Body are insulated against sound. You ride relaxed and rested in a comfort you have never before conceived with a car of Vauxhall's horsepower or dimensions.

A CHRISTMAS CAROL. ( By Mary Gilmore.) "Nowell!" rang the great bell, And "Nowell '• sang the small; Christmas comes a-wassailing By house and by hall. "Christmas comes a-wassailing, As though, with kingly air, Someone more than mortal came Walking down a stair." Then louder sang the great bell, And louder sang the small, Yet He Who came with kingly air— They found Him in a stall; They found Him in a manger, His mother kneeled beside, But high above that humble place Kings saw a star abide; They saw the star and followed it, And then they louted low, As comes the Kings of earth to-day, To lout as long ago. So "Nowell!" sing the great bells, And "Nowell!" sing the small, That He Who came to Bethlehem May come to house and hall,

In Praise of the Christ Child

NEW PRINCE, NEW POMP. B ehold a silly tender Babe, In freezing winter night, In homely manger trembling lies Alas! a piteous sight. The inns are full, no man will yield This little Pilgrim bed; But forced He is with silly beasts In crib to shroud His head. Despise Him not for lying there, First what He is inquire; An orient pearl is often found In depth of dirty mire. Weigh not His crib, His wooden dish, Nor beast that by Him feed; Weigh not His mother's poor attire, Nor Joseph's simple weed. This stable is a prince's court, This crib His chair of state; The beasts are parcel of His pomp, The wooden dish His plate. The persons in that poor attire His royal liveries wear; The Prince Himself is come heaven, This pomp is prized there.

With joy approach, 0 Christian wight! Do homage to thy King; And highly praise this humble pomp Which He from heaven doth bring.

SP ES GENTIUM. Four thousand wistful years went past, And Eva lAve turned at last; But on the long-awaited day The king slept cradled in the hay, U nhoused, the maker of the world, His fist round Mary's finger curled. —Theodore Maynard, THE LULLABY OF MARY. - Ah, what had I for giving, Breath of my breath? ( Icily the gift of Living, The gift of Death! S.

"Would I might strew rich treasure Before your feet, wning you for my pleasure, My Baby sweet: "But I, Dear, bending o'er you, Can see to-day Loneliness, Baby, for you, A thorny way. "Ah, you have wakened weeping, Ah, now you smile Safe in poor Mother's keeping Dear, for a while; " Ah, what had I for giving, Breath of my breath?— Only the gift of Liying, The gift of Death!" —Ethel Talbot.

—Robert Southwell. MORNING IN BETHLEHEM. Rest, my baby; rest in peace, the long waiting's over; rest as sweet as summer bees sucking in the clover. I have done for what I'm born; yours will soon be done; when your holy flesh is torn0, my little Son— When they tear this flesh I wove, bare these bones I carved, we will have for what we strove, have for what we starved. Time has reached its fulness, dear; rest; the serpent's braved: time for Calvary's almost here; man's as good as saved. Rest, my baby; rest in peace, the long waiting's over; rest as sweet as summer bees sucking in the clover. —John M. Fraunces.

THE CHILD.

Joseph has found a cattle shed, Ox and ass in humble stall, Mary, how harsh is thy travail bed for the Lord of all.

The world was dark with care and woe, With brawl and pleasure wild, When in the midst, His love to show, God set a child.

A CHRISTMAS CAROL.

The sages frowned ,their beards they shook, For pride their heart beguiled; They said, each looking on his book, "We want no child."

In the bleak mid-winter Frosty wind made moan, Earth stood hard as iron, Water like a stone; Snow had fallen, snow on snow, In the bleak mid-winter Long ago. Our God, Heaven cannot hold Him, Nor earth sustain: Heaven and earth shall flee away When He comes to reign: In the bleak mid-winter A stable-place sufficed The Lord God Almighty Jesus Christ. Enough for Him whom cherubim Worship night and day, A breastful of milk And a mangerful of hay; Enough for Him whom angels Fall down before, The ox and ass and camel Which adore. Angels and archangels May have gathered there; Cherubim and seraphim Thronged the air. But only His mother In her maiden bliss W orshipped the Beloved With a kiss. What can I give Him, Poor as I am? If I were a shepherd I would bring a lamb, If I were a wise man I would do my part— Yet what can I give Him, Give my heart. —Christina G. Rossetti.

from

The merchants turned towards their scales, Around their wealth lay piled; Said they, " 'Tis gold alone prevails; We want no child." The soldiers rose in noisy sport, Disdainfully they smiled, And said, "Can babes the shield sup port? We want no child." The merry sinners laughed or blushed Alas, and some reviled; All cried, as to the dance they rushed, "We want no child." The old, the afflicted, and the poor, With voices harsh or mild, Said, "Hope to us returns no more: We want no child." And men of grave and moral word. With consciences defiled, Said, "Let the old truth still be heard; We want no child." Then said the Lord, "0 world of care So blinded and beguiled T hou must become for thy repair A holy child And unto thee a '',on is born Thy second hope has smiled: rhou may'st though sin and trouble worn. Be made a child' —Thomas T. Lynch.

IN TERRA PAX. We have sought Him in fire and thunder, We have sought Him in stock and stone, We have rent the skies asunder, To the ends of the earth have gone: But we have not learnt to sheathe the sword; To know that in silence comes the Word: That a Baby rocked on His mother's knee. Is the quest and crown of humanity: We have set false gods above us From the dawn of man till to-day, And our God He cannot move us From the idols to which we pray. When shall we learn to sheathe the sword? To listen in silence for the Word? To see that a Babe on His mother's knee Is the quest and crown of humanity? We have sought for things forbidden, We have conquered Time and Space, What mystery shall be hidden, From the heirs of the human race? But we have not learnt to sheathe the sword, To hear in silence the sovereign Word, From the Babe that, throned on His mother's knee, Sends Peace as the crown of humanity. —I. Shipton.

HIS MYSTICAL BODY. In Mexico, in Russia, and in Spain, His Body bleeds, 'Tis Calvary, the Cross, the nails, the pain Of bloody-sweat, the Judas-kiss, again. And scarce one heeds. —Rev. Brother J. Duffy.

SONNET WITH THE COMPLIMENTS OF THE SEASON. (To a Popular Leader Much to Be Congratulated on the Avoidance of a Strike at Christmas.) I know you. You will hail the huge release, Saving the sheathing of a thousano swords. In silence and injustice, well accords With Christmas bells. And you will gild with grease The papers, the employers, the police, And vomit up the void your windy w ords To your New Christ: who bears no whips of cords For them that traffic in the doves of peace. The feast of friends, the candle-fruited tree, I have not failed to honour. And I sax' It would be better for such men as we, And we be nearer Bethlehem, if we lay Shot dead on scarlet snows for lib erty, Dead in the daylight upon Christmas Day. —G. K. Chesterton

MEDITATION. R orate Coeli desuper : et nubes pluant Justum. A periatur Terra, et germinet Salvatorem. No sudden thing of glory and fear Was the Lord's comicg; but the dear Slow Nature's days followed each o ther To form the Saviour from His Mother —One of the children of the year. The eLrth, the rain, received the trust, ----The sun and dews, to frame the He drew His daily life from these, According to His own decrees, Who makes man from the fertile dust, S weet summer and the winter wild, These brought Him forth, the Undefiled. The happy springs renewed again His daily bread, the growing grain, The food and raiment of the Child. — Alice G. Meynell.

R EGINA COELI. Say, did his sisters wonder what could Joseph see In a mild, silent little Maid like thee? And was it awful, in that narrow house, With God for Babe and Spouse? Nay, like thy simple, female sort, each one Apt to find Him in husband and in son, Nothing to thee came strange in this, Thy wonder was but wondrous bliss: W ondrous, for, though True Virgin lives not but does know ( Howbeit none ever vet confess'd) T hat God lies really in her breast, Of thine He made His special nest! And so All mothers worship little feet, And kiss the very ground they've trod: But, ah, thy little Baby sweet Who was indeed thy God! —Coventry Patmore.

This involved a very heavy expendiditure, but was thoroughly justified, both by the yeoman service of the old machinery and by the increased circulation and advertising which called for faster and more efficient methods of producThe new plant (pictured tion. above) consists of :— • An automatic press, complete with suction feed and pile delivery, capable of printing 3,000 sheets per hour. An automatic platen, for commercial work, capable of a speed of 3,600 runs per hour. An hydraulic guillotine. A semi-automatic folding machine. New fonts of Australian and German type. Since the installation of the plant early in the year, the whole arrangement of the factory has Each mabeen re-organised. chine has its own motor and is so situated as to avoid delay and ensure the passage of the paper from one department to another and without needless energy waste of time. A jobbing department, capable of handling all classes of high-grade work, is functioning smoothly. The improvements were immediately reflected by Substantial circulation increases in almost all parishes, and by greatly increased advertising demands on space. During the year "The Record" has increased from 24 to 32 pages to meet this demand. All this has been made possible by the keen personal interest of the Archbishop, the parish priests, voluntary agents. adverTo one tisers. and subscribers. and all we extend our warm thanks and trust they will favour us with their continued enthusiasm and support in the future.

T wo of our young members, Pauline Stuchbury and Theresa MacPartland, were Confirmed, and very gravely and sweetly, as is the custom of children at these times accepted their orders as soldiers in the great army of Christ, We have quite a colony of young people here, and it is very fine thing to see them progress from baptism to their first Holy Communion, and so they go on to strengthen our Catholic community and uphold the holy Faith. His Grace addressed us on the blessings that come from sincere and earnest devotion to the Rosary. Quoting many instances, where it has been the only medium of keeping the faithHe related ful in touch with God. the story of Marshal Foch who, on the e ve of the decisive battle of the Great War, when the weight of the responsibility of nations rested upon him, was found quietly kneeling, his Rosary in his hand, before the shrine of Our Blessed Lady, A fter Mass breakfast was served, and a most pleasant social time was enjoyed by all, being an opportunity for rritmv reminiscences, humorous and otherwise. A feature of the day, in the hearts of, the children, was the quite unexpected appearance of His Grace at a little birthday party, at which the young host, C-happie Dawson, was entertaining his numerous cousins on the anniversary of his sixth birthday. Need I say that this was indeed a redletter day in the life of this young man, and one to be remembered in many birthdays to come. It was with real regret that we at last said good-bye to His Grace. His many duties and many people awaiting his coming as eagerly as we. Our brief time of spiritual enjoyment was at an end, and we now look forward to a visit from Rev. Father Holohan in the new year.

Nevertheless there were other items involved. One cannot just walk in and out of Spain as one pleases. I needed a special British visa, and that required a letter from the Duke's Committee to explain me and my purpose. When I had acquired both, I still needed a special French visa, and the French Consulate was closed for Armistice Day. I think I spent half that day in taxis. and it was only when I had finished packing, at midnight, that I realised I lacked the reputedly essential salvo conducto. As a matter of fact, I went to Spain.

This was the first batch of Basque children to go home from England, 152 of them, a most amusing and handsome collection.

Spam w as to be something of the revelation to them that it was to me. We crossed Newhaven-Dieppe, kir a four-hour sea passage; but the threat of the Channel had been countered by the children's previous breakfast and supper. They had been fed on carbohydrates, milk with glucose overnight, and for breakfast, cornflour, raisins, b ananas, bread and butter. Before Newhaven they had apples and biscuits. But .as it happened, the Channel was in its kindest mood, and no one was sick. Several of the children almost went for a swim, but there were ready eyes and restraining hands. Still, one realised how these lively young Basques must sometimes have seemed over -exuberant to their sober English hosts. From Dieppe to Rouen I took a spell in an ordinary carriage, but a gentleman in patent -leather shoes and a Red Star (with gold hammer and sickle) in his coat, ate sausage and apparently raw steak with his pen-knife and told a sailor loudly just who in France was to be slaughtered and why : I found him more trying than 152 Basques.

HATEVER else Christmas means, it certainly means that Christmas can be empty, humanity has not changed. void of significance, but it can never be symbolical. For not only does Christmas mean that Christ may be born again , in the hearts of men of goodwill, but it means that Christ must be re rn in the hearts of all. Mammon, on the other hand, has no birthday. Never can the world look to Mammon for anything as exciting and revitalising as a new birth. Mammon can but grow older and uglier. The world is grown old, the flesh weaker and more insistent, and the devil but more experienced in varieties of 11- e old lies. But to the end of time the Christ Child is born again that the world may renew its youth in Him, the flesh its fealty to tht. spirit, and the devil—that he tempt not the Lord His God in This submission of the spirit the least of these His little ones. of evil and of the frailty of humanity is made best of all at the Crib. For here it was that His Kingship was first acclaimed by the Magi (the deputies of us Gentiles), and in His last hours did He not claim, in reply to Pilate, "For this was I born and for this came I into the world?" * * On the Feast of St. Joseph, appropriately enough, the Pope wrote to the entire world .an Encyclical on Atheistic Communism, and the chief positive means of combating the evil that the Holy Fatiler indicated was the renewal of the Christian life. In a yet ni(,re recent Encyclical Christ's Vicar called on the Catholic world fcr a renewed devotion to the Rosary—the chief elements of which v.ere formulated and promised perpetuity when Christ was a Child Since then Christmas. is pre-eminently the divine in *he womb. fact about which the whole social problem centres, what anniversary could be more germane for Catholics in which to commence renewal of all things in Christ? It is true that the Feast of C hristmas is the final and sufficient answer to all those evil things wh'eh threaten the helpless children of the world—sterilisation, But ultimately it pulbit t.).-prevention, abortion, and the rest. verises not only the foetid fruit, but also the malignant roots of the tree of social injustice. In the light of Bethlehem, greed and c ovetousness are the allies of a yet more monstrous Herod, again litually seeking the life of the Child in the lives of His least ones. * * It is also the feast of Christmas is the feast of the poor. How hardly shall they pass through the eye of t he poor rich. the needle who have not offered their wealth at the Crib, not as largesse, but as owing in strict justice in acknowledgment of the Kingship of the Child. Bethlehem speaks to the poor in a voice they understand, of courage and of patience. But to those owners of capital who have made poverty degrading and inevitable to the masses under the industrial order, it speaks with menace and the threat of judgment. Bethlehem is a potential danger to the rich in two ways: firstly, if they have failed to find room in their inns, not recognising the identity of the. Child, and. secondly, if they regard the Manger as a sentimental pious memory having no practical application in modern times. For Christ speaks ever through His Church to the world and in this world-shaking matter of social justice He speaks again with the terrible simplicity and candour The sin of the employer who wilfully defrauds the of a child. laboi rers of their just wage is in the same class as that of preTruly Christmas is the season meditated murder and sodomy. of peace, but not of contentment with things as they are, not puice without honour.

OUR FRONTISPIECE

TO OUR READERS. With the publication of the Christmas Number of "The R ecord." I gladly avail of this opportunity of wishing all its r eadei s a Holy and Happy Christmas. In a world torn with civil strife, the Star of Bethlehem once in. ire beckons all Christians to the Crib, radiating the spirit of peace to all men of goodwill. It behoves us, therefore, to take stock of our spiritual shortcomings, and by availing of these remaining weeks of Advent, prepare ourselves for the coming of the Saviour. For Catholics the joyful Season of Christmas is intimately hound up with the Faith. The secular rejoicing which attends this Holy Season is, of course, merely secondary to its Hence its proper celebration deeper spiritual significance. must be marked by a renewal of spirit, culminating in the worthy reception of the Sacraments. In that sense I wish all a Holy and Happy Christmas, dowered with every grace and ble4sing from the Divine Infant. Devotedly your in Christ,

A Review of May held an historic event in the Coronation of King lieorge VI. and Queen Elizabeth. The Vatican sent a special delegation to London, the Papal Envoy being Archbishop Vizzardo, Under-Secretary to the Holy see. 1he Catholic Duke of Norfolk was the Earl atarshall of the ceremonies. The Catholics of West Australia manifested their love and loyalty to the Crown by a special C oronation service in St. Mary's Cathedral, which was largely attended His Grace the Archbishop made an inspiring discourse, which was boadcast throughout the State. The celebrations concluded with a solemn "Te Deum."

J. Russell the Knighthood of St. Sylvester, Pope. Some rears ago Mr. Russell was decorated with the Papal Cross, "Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice." The order is a rare one and is only conferred on the recommendation of the Archbishop of the Archdiocese on men who have been prominent in the work of the Church for many years, Mr. .Russell had been actively associated with Church work in Kalgoorlie for 36 years. The only other recipient of a similar honour in this State is Mr. T. .Ahern.

Most Rev. Dr, Justin Simonds, who in February was named for the Archbishopric of IIobart, was consecrated in St. Mary's Basilica, Sydney, on May 6. The particular significance of this event lay in the fact that Dr. Simonds was the first Australian-born The A rchbishop to he elevated to the Episcopacy. A postolic Delegate, Most Rev. Dr. Panico, performed the ceremony, which was attended by fourteen members of the Hierarchy, a large number of priests, and Archbishop Duhig preached the over 4,000 people. occasional sermon.

Thirty-third International Eucharistic Congress, which took place nila, from February 3rd. to 7th., was the most momentous ent that has occurred in the life of the Church in the Far East vlee(i the Catholics of centuries to come may look back to it opening up a new era in the history of the Church. Many rned students of world affairs are of the opinion that European culture is declining, and that the centre of civir lisation is moving to the East. China, Japan, and the islands of the Pacific promise to play an ever-increasing part in the life of the Church. The Congress 1provided the most inspiring spectacle of faith in the history of the Far East. It was essentially a "Mission" Congress, having as its subject the Blessed Eucharist and the Propagation of missions, while its the Faith on the spiritual power will radiate through the islands of the Pacific and in the neighbouring ports of raganism, China, Japan, and the IndiesThe attendance of four Vatican representatives was one of the rare features of the Manila Congress, The concurrence of four Apostolic Delegates at one place was significant of the Holy Father's interest in the Congress. The Papal Legate was His Eminence Cardinal Dougherty. The climax of the Congress was a vast Eucharistic Procession through the streets of Manila, which took three hours to reach the Luneta.

A unique event occurred at the Benedictine Monastery, New Norcia, when for the first t ime since the foundation of the Mission in 1848, three English-speaking candidates were admitted to the Novitiate on January 12. It is hoped that this event presages further Australian vocations to the monastic habit and ultimately of a representative Australian community at New Norcia. Incidentally, in March of the coming year, New Norcia will celebrate the 93th. anniversary of its foundation.

The crowning Catholic event of the year was the Fourth Plenary Council of the Australian Hierarchy, which was held in Sydney from the of September. The Apostolic Delegate, Archbishop Panico,5th, to the 12th. was appointed by the Holy Father as Papal the sole survivor of the last Legate to the Council. Archbishop Kelly was Plenary bishops and Bishops were assembled, Council held in 1905. In all 32 Archthan 700 decrees were formulated, and in the week of the Council no fewer which have yet the be submitted to the Holy See for approval. During the C ouncil a message of homage was sent to the Holy Father and acknowledgments were received from the Cardinal Secretary of State and the Cardinal Prefect of the Sacred Congregation of Propaganda. The Fathers of the Council addressed a Letter of Petition to the Holy Father for the canonisation of praying Blessed Oliver Plunket. On September a Joint Pastoral Letter was issued by the Hierarchy.

The Catholic events of June were at the resignation of Archbishop overshadowed by regret Sheehan as Coadjutor of Sydney on June 3rd. The announcement came as a surprise to Australian Catholics, who one of the outstanding members regarded Dr. Sheehan as of the Catholic Hierarchy in the British Empire. Archbishop Sheehan had been Coadjutor of Sydney since 1922. The Apostolic Delegate e xpressed the deep gratitude of the Holy See for the work w hich he had done in the Archdiocese of Sydney during his years of service. His and on the eve of his departure a letter Grace left for Ireland on Tune 25th.. was sent him signed by every member of the Hierarchy expressing their deep regret at his departure, reaffirming their esteem for him personally, and their appreciation of his signal services to the Church in Australia. While en route for Ireland, the Apostolic Dele gate announced that the Holy Father had elevated Dr. Sheehan to the rank of Assistant to the Pontifical Throne.

An important event on July 1st, was the General Elections of the Free State, The final figures mere: Fianna Fail, 69; Fine Gael, 48: Labour, 13; Independent, 8. Mr. de Valera's Party returned as many Deputies as all other parties put together, a position which British newspapers described as a "deadlock." It . was, of course, nothing of the sort. In the new Dail Mr, de Valera's Party remains supreme, and Mr. de Valera will be head of the Government tor the next five years. The Draft Constitution promulgate0 on May 1, was subjected to a plebiscite at the elections. Final figures in the referendum on the draft Constitution were: For, 685,105; against 526.945—a majority of 158,460, or thirty .per cent. in favour of the proposal. vatore Romano" described the Constitution as "an organic whole :h, in contrast with other Constitutions, has the advantage of being int lpteh r,oatpthe.a .paiertojep ern tyd i.m:gaantnietdsy stohfceiatNNh.l hedoepiem hliigol sphrei.s‘p ero cscorn nas,7ti.th iared by r essapneectti t yf oro fthtehueefafiartern . eSuch prineiples are the expression religious utional charter."

Parish Jottings Beaconsfield The Crib. Now that Christmas is approaching, our honorary architect, Mr. Bilich, is busy designing a Crib. There was a violent controversy raging for a while about a suitable location, but at last an amicable settlement was reached Mr. Toop is also busy painting a scene to decorate the interior. We already have proof of his ability with the brush in the beautiful scenery he painted for the stage. So much for the externals of the Crib, and you are saying to yourselves by this: "I did not know we had the statues for a Crib." Well, neither did I until very recently. I heard that there were seven beautiful figures arranged on the table in the cottage, and guessing what they were I invented an excuse to gain access and satisfy my curiosity. My curiosity was more than satisfied. I understand that the statue of the Divine Child is available for adoption, and so are the othirs. I expect that there will be a rush for them. So, Beaconsfield people, get in early.

Busy Bee. The hot weather caused a lull in the work, but the rumblings as of distant t hunder that I heard on Tuesday conO'Connor, Messrs. vinced me that Knight, and Co. were excavating again. It is to be hoped that the cool spell lasts for awhile, as a few more weeks should see the end of that particular job. The lawn is fighting for its life and consuming a fearful amount of water, and, unfortunately, we have a meter. It is going to be a very expensive crop I fear.

Personal. One of the school children, Emma Harvey, was taken to hospital during the week suffering from scarlet fever. We hope that there will be no complications and that she will soon be restored to her parents. Mrs. Cyril O'Ffara is in hospital, too, and we offer her our sympathy on the loss of her baby. We also extend our sympathy to Mr. and Mrs. M. Corkhill, of North Fremantle, on the tragic loss of their little girl. We pray that Almighty God and His Blessed Mother will comfort them.

Kellerberrin's Annual Catholic Bazaar

Victoria Park Sodalities. Last Sunday the Sacred Heart Sodality held their monthly Communion, at which was a very large attendance. Their first annual Communion breakfast took place in the Kindergarten, which proved an outstanding success, 111 members partaking of a dainty breakfast, w.tlich was so ably catered for by Mrs. E. B. O'Connell, and everybody thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The Feast of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary was w orthily celebrated on Wednesday morning, when a large number of the Children of Mary approached the altar rails in their regalia. To-morrow (Sunday) the Holy Name Society will hold their general Communion at the 7 a.m. Mass. The first annual reunion dinner will take place after evening devotions, which will be held at 5 p.m. to-morrow evening, instead of the usual time, 7.30 p.m. Members attending the dinner are requested to assemble at the Kindergarten at 6 p.m. Next Sunday the Children of Mary will hold their monthly Communion, when we will no doubt see a large attendance present. Personal. Mrs. O'Brien and her two daughters have returned from their holiday at Rottnest, looking very much refreshed. Mary and Nancy are both expert anglers now. Mr. J. Barker has recovered sufficiently to leave hospital, and has gone to Albany with his brother, Leo, for a few weeks'. holiday, Mr. Jack Harrold has returned home from his studies. Mr. Len Goerke has had a painful time with a poisoned leg during the last few weeks, but is now well on the mend. We have great pleasure in announcing two more baptisms this week. Mr. and Mrs. J. Clements, of Berwick-street, had their infant son baptised last Sunday, and Mr. and Mrs. F. Kearnan, of Gresham-street, had their infant son baptised. Social Items.

Healey, whose marriage to Mr. J. McCallum Smith will take place shortly. Musical items and competitions were indulged in by all, and everyone present spent a pleasant time. After supper Mr, Tom Forristal ( choir conductor), on behalf of the members, presented the guest of honour with a bronze fire screen as a token of their esteem and best wishes for her future happiness. Societies. To-morrow, being the second Sunday of the month, the usual monthly Communion and meeting of the Holy Name Society will take place.

ADESTE FIDELES. The Seraphic Doctor of the Franciscans, St. 13onaventure, gave us the sweet Christmas hymn, writing it in the Latin tongue. TI-e.t was in the thirteenth century. Seventy years ago an English convert to the Catholic Faith wrote the familiar translation, "0 come all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant." Towards the close of the last century the "Adeste Fideles" had become very popular in France and England. Some writers ascribe the original to either a French or German composer. It was at this rebirth of Catholic hymnology, following the troublous times of the • Reformation, that the "Adeste Fideles" was introduced one Christmas morning, about 1797, in the chapel of the Portuguese Embassy,. LonJohn Readipg, the organdon. ist, of Winchester Cathedral, wrote the music. Every year, as the faithful gather around the altar of God to await the coming of the Infant Redeemer. the first signal given to them of the advent of the

ABROAD IN AUSTRALIA ( By SANDY McDOLIGALL). We set out for Bendigo, a city foreign to A.B. and myself, on the 23rd. A pril, and that made a permanent break in the travelling Trio, as we had to leave The Lover of Souls behind us. However, we were in good and congenial company, and the journey became for your venerable aunt a "backto-childhood" affair. The company was formed of The Uss Society, Lovely Lady of the Laughing Kit, Silk-stockinged Peg, Pigtail Sue and our two selves, and we set forth for the Spencer-street Station in an elegant car. Imagine our astonishment when, on reaching Spencerstreet, we espied a very noted Organ. iser of Important Occasions gesticulating to us like a policeman on point duty who thinks four inroads of traffic are going to collide, and lustily call. jog to our chauffeur to come to a stop at a certain spot, while the city of Melbourne looked on. My first impulse ‘va4 to say a fervent Act of. Contrition, for I was sure there was a wild hull at large somewhere on the station, and that the Organiser was afraid we would retard his onrush, and on account of being the only gentleman in the party I felt in that case it would be up to me to stand in front of the bull and say "Rush me, and spare the ladies." T hanks be to God such nobility on mv part was not wanted, for when we alighted we found that the Organiser with that marvellous thoughtfulness that he has, had taken our Lovely Lady's gammy leg into consideration and as the train for Bendigo was a fair distance away he had provided a rubber-tyred chair, such as gouty gentlemen like to air themselves in at Bath, and he wanted to make sure the chaf. feur would pull up opposite the chair. With the aid of the Organiser and a florid-faced porter, we succeeded in getting Lovely Lady into her go-cart, and it was then that A.B.'s venerability stIod her in good stead, for whereas the rest of the party disgraced themseives and us by getting the giggles, we, who had had the advantage of being reared for some years in W.A. comported ourselves with seriousness and (I hope) dignity. Another magnificent touch was that all the seats in our compartment agreed with the years of life of the daughters of Lovely Lady and A.B., so I was spared the strain of having to keep up the conversation, not, I suppose, that there would be any danger of it calling flat where there were five ladies compressed in one compartment. Still, it was wonderful how many reminiscences they packed into that three hours' journey, and when we arrived at Bendigo the five feminine tongues were as fresh as if they had Just been created. One of the daughters of Lovely Lady has a country seat at Bendigo, and as she keeps a cow and a bee, it was thought that Pig-tail Sue and your aunty might grow fat and youthful again under such helpful influences. Perhaps it was because A.B. had not travelled for so long, or perhaps she had a few shillings pocket money that none of us knew anything about, but be the reason what it may, as soon as she put foot on the Bendigo station she looked warily around, and exclaimed, "Let us beware of the bag snatchers." As there was only one very honest looking gentleman and a lady on the horizon, the warning seemed a bit far-fetched, and it was completely f orgotten when those commissioned to meet our party came tripping towards us with a bouquet of choice roses. With pretty ceremony the flowers were presented to the Queen of the Uss Society by a Bendigonian who, on being introduced to A.B., said excitedly, "I knew you when you were that high (indicating twelve inches from the ground), and I knew your mother: she was a Saint!" "One of God's uncanonised ones," said A.B., softly, and then with that reverent kind of a hush that comes when we speak of the dead we made our way to The Gentle One's country seat.

A LAMENT ANENT "THE DEAR LITTLE SHAMROCK," _ My parents always said to me When I was very yOung, "Don't go through life a-keening, Or your nerves will get unstrung; It's better far to travel on With heart tuned in to glee, A nd then you'll never worry, And to friends you'll welcome be." I've tried to keep to that advice Along Life's changing ways, I've always tried to see the rose Behind the sombre greys, But now my heart is all upset— A friend has let me down, And Loughrea's "Dear Little Shamrock" Has subdued me with a frown. Och! it happened just like Tuesday w eek, In company with some others, He met some Irish postulants Who'd left their dads and mothers. He brought them to my sister's house To drink some morning tea, And this is just the way he spoke When he caught sight of me: -Good Lord! are vou back here again, I thought you'd left the State? NN'hy ever did they bring you back? T hey should have saved the freight! Why didn't you stay over there With your coaxing and your rhyming? I had some chance while you were gone To hear my money chiming." You can question 10 Camelia-street, And Father Crowley, too, You can ask of Mr. Seymour If what I say is true; I don't think I'd have minded If it hadn't been "Loughrea," Cos I always thought he liked me In a nice, paternal way. He must be getting cynical, Yet that I really doubt, For he still continues driving All the holy folk about; He even drives old ladies To the polling booths to vote, And lets them make a ballot box Of the pocket in his coat. It's not easy to be merry When you come from over yonder. And find that in your absence Friendly ones have not grown fonder: But if that "Dear Little Shamrock" Doesn't soon be nice to me, I will keen around his dwelling Like an haunting old banshee. It's coming on to Christmas When those who have the mind To heed the call of charity, Are generously inclined, So though my heart is broken, And the only thing to mend it N.Vould be Something for our Bushies, Sure, maybe "himself" will send it. —AUNT BESSY.

Judging from Sandy's diary you had a ripping time, hut I am sure your thoughts were often with your nieces and nephews, and, of course, having Sandy with you, would remind you that funds were at a standstill, but you needn't worry for the people of the West won't let you down, and if you don't get your £1,000 this year you can rest assured it will be doubled next year.

I am in First Standard in the Sacred Heart School, and Ursula is in Second Infants. I got a lot of pennies for the Bushies from Mummy. Ursula sends her love and so do I. YVONNE BROPHY. Dear Yvonne,—You have a very pretty name and Tiddles says it reminds her of France, where her great grandmother lives. I am very grateful to Mummy for giving you all those Brownies, and to Ursula for her love, and I hope both of you will remain my nieces during 1938, as I am going to be very busy then. AUNT BESSY.

Dear Berv1.—You were all very good to fill Audrey's card, and I hope the act of charity will cheer her heart up so much that she will be able to eat you to say those cheering things, and only that I can never blush unless I every bit of her Xmas pudding next Saturday week. am telling a fib.

Catholic Tennis Assocation A SHORT HISTORY During the year 1925 a small coterie of Catholic workers met at an informal gathering to discuss the bringing together of Catholic youth in an a tmosphere which catered for all the necessary requirements of the Church. Recognising that societies come and go, an idea was hit upon where outdoor sport was an essential factor. The result of this was that in St. Joachim's, Victoria Park, and St. Mary's, at Leederville, tennis clubs were formed. In the early stages both parishes met on So successful were several occasions. those social gatherings that other clubs were formed. A t the official opening of St. Mary's Club, in 1926 (the opening ceremony having been performed by the late Right Rcv. Monsignor Verling, V.G.), at which other clubs were represented,

The initiation of His Grace the 1937, 18, A rchbishop, on August through St. Patrick's Branch, as a member of the Society. 2. The Ordination, at St. Joseph's Church, Subiaco, on August 8, 1937, of Rev. Father John O'Mahony, son of the late National President, Bro. Con. O'Mahony. 3. The decision, pursuant to a request of His Grace the Archbishop, to establish Juvenile Branches of the Society. 4. The establishment of branches of the Society at East Victoria Park and Palmyra. 5. Record attendance of members at the Annual General Communion and Breakfast at St. Mary's Cathedral, on the Feast of the Kingship of Christ, October 31, 1937. 6. Record and most satisfactory attendance at the Closed Retreats for male members, at the Redemptorist Monastery, on September 4 and 5, 1937, and for female members, at the Sacred Heart Convent, Highgate, on September 11 and 12. 7. The winning by the Debating Team representing the Society, comprising Pros. NI. Peterson, Gerald McMullan, and J. Harvey, of the "B" Grade Competition conducted by the Debating League of Western Australia. and thus annexing the League Shield for the Society. 8. The election of the Grand Secre. tars' as President of the Friendly So. cieties Council of Western. Australia. 9. The election of Bro. Frank Reader, P.G.P., as Vice-President of the Perth United Friendly Societies' Medical Institute and Dispensary. 10. The receipt of the report of the Registrar of Friendly Societies on the Quinquennial Valuation of the Society, showing a surplus of assets over Habalities of £3,824, representing a ratio of 22/3 to the £. 11. A record attendance at the Society's annual picnic, held at Point Walter, on February 21, 1937. Every branch of the Society (both Metropolitan and Country) was visit. this report would be incomplete if a tribute were not paid to those who have been and are foremost in working with enthusiasm and ability for this great Catholic sporting body. The following are the officers of the Ass°. .ation since its formation: Presidents: Messrs, Joe Edwards, .lim Tully; Bill Stainthorpe, and Bert leagney. Vice-Presidents: Messrs. Dave M. cGillivray, Bert Herbert, and Bernard IIagarty. Secretaries: Messrs. E. Clarke, Ray Walsh, Tom Outridge, Stan. .Montgomery and Eric de Luca. Treasurers: Messrs. Wilfred Westhoven, George Carr, and Bernard Prindiville, Then again the several members of the Pennant, Finance, Social and Permit Committees have performed in. valuable service for the Association. The co-operation of "The Record" has been of great assistance to the Association and advantage is taken of this opportunity to express to the Editor and staff keen appreciation of their courtesy and most valuable help The progress that has been made by t he Association, and whatever good has been achieved by it, can be attributed largely to the interest manifested in it by His Grace the late Archbishop, and by His Grace Archbishop Prendiville and our Priests. Without their assistance and co-operation the :te.ociation could not flourish. From a membership of 189 in 1927, the Association's strength has increased te MO in 1937, embracing nineteen clubs-which includes seven in country districts-

ed by an officer or officers of the District Board during the year, and in almost every case the branches were found to be functioning splendidly and gradually increasing their numerical strength. Perhaps the outstanding instance of marked progress was in St. Anthony's Branch, Midland Junction. The initiation of His Grace the Archbishop gave great satisfaction to the District Board and members genA greater honour than this erally. could not be conferred on the Society. Rev. Father John O'Mahony is looked upon in a special way as the Society's Priest. His ordination had been looked forward to with keen interest by the members, and he has already manifested in the best possible way his regard for the Society by offering Holy Mass for its welfare on the occasion of the Annual Retreat.: and the Annual General Communion, Juvenile Branches. The establishment of _Juvenile Pran• ches attached to the Adult Branches was undertaken pursuant to a desire e xpressed by His Grace; the main object being to counteract the tendency on the part of a large number of our Catholic boys to join non-Catholic organisations for the purpose of participating in the sporting facilities (particularly football and cricket) offered by those organisations. A t the time of writing this report, good progress has been made, Juvenile Branches having been formed at Subj. aro, Cathedral, West Perth, Leeder%•ille, and arrangements are well ad. %•anced for branches to be established at Victoria Park and Cottesloe. This is perhaps the most important work that the Society has ever under taken and success in it must be achiev. ed. The membership of the Society is s teadily increasing and at June 30, 1937, it stood at 1,388. The funds of the Western Australian District at the satre date amounted to £21,200 2s 3d. Next year the Society in Western Australia will celebrate two very important events, namely, the holding the Interstate Triennial Convention May, and the Diamond Jubilee of ti:establishment of the Soc:ety in tlii§ State. In May, 1935, at the Triennial Con vention held in Brisbane, the late Bro. Con. O'Mahony was elected to the high office of National President, Bro, T. J. IIvnes as National Treasurer, and Bro W. A. Brown as National Secretary. On the death of Bro. O'Nlahonv in

These three officers constitute the National Directory w hich is the governing executive of the Society throughout Australia and New Zealand. A t the Convention in May, 1938, there will be a full representation of the other States. This Convention will certainly be the most important gathering of Hibernians that has ever taken place in this State, and a commencement has already been made with the work of organising the Conference and attendant functions. The Star of the Sea Branch, Fremantle, was established in 1878, and thus next year it will have been in ex-

A Ilear o Progress When St. Francis of Assisi founded the Third Order 700 years ago, he did so in order to give men and women of the world an opportunity of becoming members of a Religious Order, with its full benefits, but without the obligation of vows. St. Francis gave to this Order a Rule whereby its members could atThe antain to Christian perfection. nals of the Third Order over the past seven centuries reveal the universal appeal it has made to men and women Kings of all ranks and nationalities. live fraternised with their lowliest subjects, men of letters and humble peasants have walked side side by through its portals on their way to the service of God. His Holiness Pope Pius XI. hails the Third Order as the greatest medium through which we may work for the cause of Catholic Action to-day. He said, "St. Francis was a man given by God more for the reform of society in all ages than for the reform of the troubled times in which he lived." Seven years ago, a Fraternity was To-day there established in Perth. are about 150 Tertiaries of St. Francis. Its headquarters are in Sydney, and it is the only lay order in Australia. Its world membership numbers 3,000,000, and this membership includes the Holy Father, who has been a Tertiary since the age of 17. The propagation of the faith, and practical charity, are two of its main activities, and these have been carried out during the past seven years without ostentation, hut not without resul:-s in many different ways. The present Spiritual Director in Western 4ustralia is Rev. Father A. Johnston, the Prefect is Sister Elizabeth (Purse), Sub-Prefect, Brother Jerome (Broderick). Treasurer, Sr. Bridget (Brown) : Mistress of Novices, Sr. Peter (Jones), Master of Novices, Brother Dominic (Toop); Infirmarian, Sr. Joan of Arc (Mulvale), Secretary, Sr. :Anthony (McDonell). Should any reader desire to become a Tertiary, the Third Order is ready to welcome them. The rules are not difficult. The spiritual benefits are manifest. It is not possible to estimate the heights to which it can raise the Christian soldier who to-day wishes to join forces with the Church in fighting the heresies that threaten Christendom. One may he received into the Order from the age of 14 upwards. A fter a probation of twelve months, they may then be professed and enter for all time the Congregation of the Third Order. Many of our readers may derive some interest from the fact that the late Calvo Sotelo, the young Spanish s tatesman, who was murdered after his protest in the Spanish Parliament against the atrocities of the Reds, was a Franciscan Tertiary, and was buried in the habit of that Order. His indomitable courage has been an inspiration and a driving force behind the army that is still fighting for the delivery of Spain. istence continuously for 60 years. The appropriate celebration of the Jubilee is a matter that will shortly be given a ttention by the District Board and the branch. The year 1936-37 was certainly a very good year for the Society, and the success achieved can be attributed in great measure to four influences, namely: First, the keen and abiding interest manifested by His Grace the A rchbishop and his Priests in the welfare of the Society; secondly, the enthusiasm and self-sacrifice shown by officers of the National Directory, District Board and branches in their work on behalf of the Society: thirdly, the f rpl2ndid work done by the Metropolitan Social Council: and, fourthly, the publication of reports of the Society's meetings and activities in "The Record." The sincere thanks of the Society is e xpressed to His Grace and all those who gave such valuable assistance to the Society during the Year.

This year (1937) has, we think, been

a most successful year for the Society.

The year now drawing to a close has been a very busy one for members of our Club. The hard working executive and dance committee have seen to it that the Club has kept active. The executive elected at the beginning of the year was as under: President, Miss Eileen Walker; vice-president, Miss Madeline Orr; treasurer, Miss Mollie Giles; librarian, Miss Bertha Shocker; press correspondent, Miss Mary Power. Owing to their inability to attend e very meeting, the Misses Mollie Giles and Bertha Shocker resigned their positions early in the year, and the treasurer was replaced by Miss Jean Hopkins, and the librarian by Miss Dulcie Swarbrick. Two or three months ago, Miss Vera Mooney was also forced to resign owing to lack of time, and the secretaryship was handed over to Miss Olive Cowan. The following members form a very efficient dance committee: The Misses Eileen Walker, Madeline Orr, Jean Hopkins, Mary Power, Vera Mooney, Glad. Willcock, Mona Walker, Peggy Knox, Kath. Easton, Kath. Sweeney, Jean Orr, Hazel Jewell, Jean Kelly. We now have approximately sixty or seventy members, and hope to see this number substantially increased next year.

The lecture meetings were well attended and the thanks of the Society is extended to all who kindly lectured to Other functions us at our meetings. of the Society were well attended and taken as a whole the year seems to point to an improved and better future. The course of lectures throughout the year was: May: Rey. Father Cahill, C.SS.R. : "The Church and Capitalism." June: Rev. Father W. Ryan, S.J.: The Role of the Catholic in Univer. sitv Life." July: Mr. Paul Brennan: -Commun. ism." August: Rev. Father Fahey: "Fascism." September: Rev. Father Smith: "Rerum Novarum" and "Quadragesimo Anno." October: Mr. R. D. Lane: ''Private Property." The Retreats for men and women, which were instituted this Year, were very successful and will be continued in the future, when it is hoped a great-

Club Dance. The weekly dance, of course, is our main activity. The girls have all worked very hard to make it a success, and our thanks are especially due to the dance committee, who have run it so efficiently. Social Activities. The social evenings held at odd intervals have been extremely well attended, and visitors and members alike have thoroughly enjoyed them. Besides the ordinary socials, we have had several novelty evenings, most popular amongst them being Scavenger Hunts. These hunts causefl much amusement, everyone entering into the spirit of them, and hunting with zest for the weird and wonderful articles on their lists. The novel suppers served in the Club Room afterwards also met with approbation by hungry "hunters." The General Communions, held quarterly, are always well attended, for members who are not able to be present at the meetings always make a point of getting along to the Communions. Sporting Activities. Badminton has had quite an important place in our Club activities this year, friendly matches amongst the girls being played every week. We have also had several matches against outside teams, including St. Kevin's Club, Subiaco. Table tennis also has quite a few enthusiastic followers. Basket-ball was played during the winter months, and proved extremely popular. Annual Dinner, The annual Club dinner is always the outstanding event of our social calendar, and is in the nature of a re-union of past and present members. This year we intend to run a river trip after the dinner (which is to take place on Saturday evening, December 11), instead of the usual dance, and are looking forward to seeing all members, both past and present, there, also all those good friends of the Club who have come along to our socials, etc., during the year, as it is only fitting that it should ,be an outstanding success to finish up what has been one of the happiest years of the Club's existence.

A very good attendance was recorded, including a fair number of graduates. The social events of the Society were well managed by a special social committee, which was elected this year, and to which a great quantity of praise is due. Several social evenings and house parties were held early in the

Catholic Women's League The Catholic Women's League was inaugrated last May by His Grace Most Rev. Dr. Prendiyille, with the assistance of Rev. Father W. Ryan, S.J. ( Chaplain of the Catholic Women's League in Adelaide), in order to unite all Catholic women of. Western Australia for social work. The office-bearers of the Central E xecutive are as follows: President, Mrs, Maxwell; Vice-President, Mrs. Ahern: General Secretary, Miss E. Purse; Treasurer, Mrs, A. Davies; Minute Secretary, Mrs. Eustace; Press Secretary, Miss Coffey; Members of Executive, Mrs. O'Dea, Mrs. T. Davies, Mrs. Mulcahy, - Mrs. Noonan, Mrs. E. Conway, Mrs. Davidson, Mrs. Jaegar, Miss 0. Grave. South Perth Branch: President, Mrs. Hunt; Secretary, Mrs. Towton. Nedlands Branch; President, Mrs. R yan; Secretary, Mrs. Farrell. There are 263 members all told. The various works that will be undertaken by the League, according to the expressed desire of His Grace, are: The Annual Catholic Ball; Home of Peace; Receiving Home for Women: Red Cross; Visiting Hospitals; Foundling Home: Girl Guides. So far, as the League is in its infancy, only the first two have been attempted. The Catholic Ball was organised and took place on August 18, in the presence of His Grace the Archbishop, and proved very successful. The Home of Peace has been visited twice, and a Fete organised to be held on December 11, in the grounds of the Home, to help defray the expenses of the spacious new buildings and furniture. In this Home, among many other incurable sufferers, are several of our own Faith, and all are most earnestly cared for by a kind and conscientious Matron and staff. The Catholic Women's League has been affiliated to the National Council of Women, to which two delegates have been appointed, viz., Mrs. Maxwell and Mrs. Hunt. Both of these ladies have already assisted at two meetings of the National Council. Two general meetings of League members have been held in the Cathedral Hall. At the first Mr. Keith Spruhan spoke on Social Justice, while at the second Miss Glasson. who was visiting W.A on behalf of the Commonwealth Council of Nutrition, spoke on that subject, and several kind friends enlivened the evening by musical and humorous items. year, and then the ball, our big social event, was the best for years. The annual dinner was held at the end of the final examinations and was also a credit to the energetic work of the social committee. Thl general executive have been considering several proposals which will benefit the Society if they can be adopted and it is hoped that next year will be even a better year for the members than any beforehand.

Little Cliristmas :free

There was once in England a little fir tree that hated Christmas time. When it saw the snow coming it shivered and shook from tip to toe. "What's the matter?" asked a rabbit, who had come out to nibble at the bark of a big tree nearby.

Robin Redbreast Our Lord must love The Robin best Of any bird That dwells in nest. The Robin once Was dull and brown Like Cousin Sparrow Of the town. But now he wears A scarlet vest And so is called Robin Redbreast. 'Tis said that he To ease Christ's pain Tugged at a thorn With might and main. A drop of Blood PIM Jesus' Head Fell on his breast And thus 'tis red.

"It's Christmas," said the in tree. "It may mean nothing to you, rabbit, but it frightens me. You see. I'm big enough now to be a real proper Christmas tree at a party, I shall be pulled out by my roots and hung up in a shop. I shall be bought and carried home. I shall have sharp spikes stuck into my tender branches when I am decorated. and worse than that, candles will he lighted all over me. I shall be burnt I know I shall." " Well, you're a funny sort of tree," said the rabbit in surprise. -Most fir trees are very proud to amuse the children." just then a man came by with a spade. When he saw the little

monkey nut twisted round and round its branches, six pieces of suet and five sprays of millet seed hung all round it.

"Well. whatever is all this for?" wondered the tree in astonishment. He soon knew on Christmas morning, for there came such a rustle and flutter of wings. such a twitter and chirping! Down flew all the birds in the garden and perched in the branches of the little fir tree. Robins and sparrows, thrushes and blackbirds, starlings and tits, finches and hedge-sparrows, they all came and pecked eagerly at the presents on his branches. "You're a birds' Christmas tree!" cried a big thrush to the little tree. "You're put out here for us, and every Christmas you'll be decorated like this, and in between times you'll grow bigger and bigger in the garden. Aren't you happy'?" "I should think I am." cried the fir tree, and you should have heard its branches rustle from top to toe.

Robin an.di,Christmas Welcome here! Peace and goodwill With. merry cheer.

-From Italy comes the legend from which we are supposed to get the time honoured custom of hangiin. up the Christmas stocking. Good old St. Nicholas of Padla used to throw long knitted purses, tied at both ends. into the. open windows of the very poor people. These purses were of yarn and not unlike a footless Finally it became stocking. the custom of the people to hang these long empty receptacles out of their windows on the night before Christmas. so that St. Nicholas could put a gift into them as he passed by. By and by. when coins became scarce, toys were put in for the children and useful presents for the grown-up people. In the North country w here it was rather chilly at Christmas time, the purses were hung on the mantelpiece, and it w as believed that the good old the down Saint would come When chimney and fill them. the purses went out of use. s tockings were substituted, and have been in use ever since.

"Now I shall have sharp spikes set into my branches," groaned the tree, "and candles will burn me." The little girl carried the tree home and planted it in a round bed in the garden. The fir tree was so surprised, for it thought it would be put into a tub. shan't be a Christmas tree, after all," it thought. But it was.

There Lame Three Kinss A Ridins ( By Marion Miller Knowles.) There came three Kings a-riding, From a fair land far away: Balthasar, Caspar, Melchior, They called them on the way. Three Kings! And one was dark as night, Although white-souled was he: He brought with him gold ornaments And scents of Araby. Three Kings! And one was grand of mien; Upon the guiding Star He fixed his eyes, and spake no word--His riches greater far. Three Kings! And one so gentle was Three hirds lit on his arm, And lifted up their voice in song A s sweet as any charm There came three Kings a-riding, In the wondrous days of old: rhe sun shone on their crimson robe Their jewelled crowns of gold They sought the King c•f Kings alone And 0, but it was sweet. To find Him in His Mother's arms, And kiss His sacred Feet!

The custom followed in many Catholic countries, and especially in Ireland, of placing a lighted candle in the window from sunset of Christmas Eve until dawn on Christmas Day, has had various interpretations of its meaning. Probably the loveliest explanation, says one author, is that the light is intended to be a signal that "if this had been the first Christmas Eve when Our Lady was denied a roof over her head, and was forced to wander in weariness and faintness looking for a place to rest—the light is there to tell her that she would not be turned away from the door of this house, but would be welcome to anything and everything there is here." #41.4.4.04,001.01 , 11,4.04141,04.0#00.0,0,"

Document aPwPNC,INMM,

Is it possible to obtain a biography of St. Benedict that is not too tedious? I can but refer you to his life n the third v olume of Butler's "Lives of the Saints," or the article, 'Benedict," in the Catholic Encyclopaedia. The Catholic booksellers may be able to supply a separate life of the Saint; lutt it might be well to visit them, and should they have such a book, inspect it for yourself.

Business Man, City. Last Sunday night, at your request, I dealt ‘vith the introductory portion of the Protest against Catholic school claims issued by the heads of the Anglican and other Protestant churches. Now I continue with the document quotations being given in the form of questions, according to my usual custom.
