the duty to accept a non-religious form of education for their children merely because the State thinks fit to devise such a system They have the duty to see that their children are educat-

ed in secular subjects up to State requirements: but so long as they do that, the State has no right to confiscate their taxes merely because they educate their children in their religion also. If objectors to war got their defence taxes back, those taxes would not be used for the purpose for which they were lawfully collected. If Catholics received their share of educational revenue, their taxes would be employed by the State for the purpose for which they were collected— the primary education of Australian children. Only an Orangeman would fail to see that, "Who receives the benefit of Roman Catholic schools? Surely not the community at. large, for we would be far better off if they were not here." If the Catholic schools were not here, Australia would be educating an additional 200,000 children at the additional cost of £10/10/- per head per year. The community would, be over £2,000,000 yearly worse off if they were not here. And if Orangemen are so distressed at the mere thought of benefiting by Catholic schools let them join in the Catholic cause and get the tainted money off their hands. Give Them Enough Rope. "If this grant were made, other denominations would seek the same privilege, and build their schools." h ere we have a perfect example of Orange logic. That Lodge began by saying that the State system is successful and satisfactory. If so, why, were the opportunity available, would the Protestants build another set of schools for themselves? Would they forsake what they honestly believe to be the better system and adopt a worse one merely because benighted Catholics preferred the worse type? Again, the Lodge complains bitterly of the disloyalty of Catholics in trying to upset the present system. I showed that Catholics have no intention of upsetting the present system. They have their own schools, and are quite content that non-Catholics should continue to send their children to the State schools as long as they desire to do so. The only way in which tie State school system could be upset w ould be by non-Catholics withdrawing their children from them, and setting up schools of their own. Now, if the Orangemen regard this as disloyal, why do they suggest that Protestant denominations would at once upset the State system by building their own schools were the opportunity granted? As a matter of fact this certainly would not happen. But it is up to ( )rangetnen to account for the rabid diqjoyaltv they attribute to the Protectant denom Mations. "This would mean that many Roman Catholics as well as others would be thrown out of employment," "This" wouldn't happen. But I can imagine the torrents of tears pour.* ed out in Orange Lodges at the prospect of Catholic c losing their employment in a Governmental Department! A t their annual meetings Orangemen seldom fail to bemoan the fact that Catholics hold any Government positions at all.

Spirit of Democracy. "If the grant is made. it would mean that the majority would have to bend to the will of the minority, which is contrary to democratic

principals."

If the Orange Lodge possesses a dictionary it will find therein that the word "principles" in the sense it intends should conclude with the letters "les," not "als." But apart from that, seldom has even the Orange Lodge made a sillier statement. For if the grant were made it could only be if the majority chose to sanction it. And 'I' the majority chose.to sanct4on it, there is no question of its "having" to bend to the will of the minority. It would merely respect the will of the minority. And I would ask Orangemen whether, in their view, democratic Principles exclude respect for minorities? The truth is that to force a minority in such a matter as education qiihmit to the will of a majority merely because it is a majority is contrary to democratic principles. It is based on the axiom of dictators that might is right Genuine democracy -espects minorities wherever possible: So much. then. for this typical Orange outbreak- Whatever be the merits or demerits of the Catholic case, opposition from Orangemen certainly tells in its favour rather than against it, for their very arguments are destnictive of their own position for all who have eyes to see.

FAMED UNIVERSITY IN SPAIN, PLUNDERED BY REDS, TO BE REOPENED. In response to an appeal just launched, Spanish Catholics are making great efforts in the work of reopening the famous Pontifical University of Comillas, on the Santander coast. It is hoped that students will be able to c ommence studies at an early date. The enormous amount of damage and systematic destruction by the Reds is almost incalculable. From the chapel have disappeared the chalices, ciboria and monstrances, and of the vestments and sacred ornaments nothing remains. Lecture rooms have been stripped of all material, and laboratories cleared of valuable equipment and scientific apparatus. In the private quarters of the seminarists, humble belongings have been destroyed and even crockery smashed and strewn.

MINISTER PRAISES HOLY SEE AT CONGRESS OF FRENCH "LEFT." Anti-Clericals Recognise Its policy of Peace. A warm tribute to the Holy See was made by M. Delbos, the French Foreign Minister, during his speech on the international situation at the congress of the Radical-Socialist party, whose former leader, Emile Combes, was responsible for the persecution of the Church in France at the beginning of the present century. "As a layman speaking to laymen, I will not fail to pay tribute to the courageous international action of the Vatican in favour of peace and of liberty," said M. Delbos. This is the first time that praise for the Holy See has been made at a congress of this officially anti-clerical party. 141 , 11 , .`041 .

Great Scientist Defends Religion

Davy a Philosopher :-: His Last Words on Faith and Life

(By W. J. BLYTON.)

VERY miner has had cause to bless the Davy lamp. It was, however, only one of the inventions of the brilliant young man who left Penzance for London at twenty for a post at the Royal Institution and became Sir Humphrey, and a scientist who added (as not all scientists do) wisdom to his knowledge, and liberal culture to wisdom. His lamp is but symbolic of the safe light he in other ways shed in dark places in his time.

Before following him to Rome, and hearing his religious views through the medium of a fine Catholic character he created in his last book, "Consolations of Travel," (he was not himself Catholic) it is of interest to recall that he elaborated the discoveries of the great Catholic savant Galvani in galvanism, and that Volta respected him sufficiently to don f ull evening dress to receive him Pavia. Dublin paid Davy 400 guineas for lectures, and the Farming Society of Ireland gave him £750 for six lectures on chemistry applied to agriculture; Ireland was well ahead in such matters 127 years ago! In the foli owing year he received over £1,000 for lectures in Dublin. For his noted lamp the coal owners subscribed £1,500 as a testimonial

. Late in life, tailing dangerously ill, he went to Italy, and his imagination drew him to Rome, w here he had a long convalesmade happy mainly by cence, 14 varied Catholic society, and his own researches and innocent pleasure in scenery and old buildings. "The society was, as is usual in that metropolis- of the old Christian world," he writes, "numerous and diversified. In it there were f ound many intellectual foreigners and amongst them some distinguished Britons, who had a higher object in making this city their residence than mere idleness or vague curiosity." At first, be fixes on an interesting pair— first: a Catholic gentleman "of highly cultivated taste, great classical erudition, and minute historical knowledge. His views on politics and religion were enlarged; but his leaning was rather to the power of a single m agistrate than to the authority oliof a democracy or even of an a of was other The garchy."

who wander from station to station below, kneeling before the Cross and demonstrating the triumph of a religion which received in this very spot in the early period of its existence one of its most severe persecutions—and nevertheless has preserved what remains of that building where attempts were made to strike it almost at its birth. . . . Being of the Faith of Rome.I may say that the preservation of this pile by the sanctifying effect of a few crosses planted round it, is almost a miraculous event." To which our English man of family without settled religious views replies that it is only a matter of time, .perhaps, and these evidences of Christianity's power may rust and decay as did Nineveh, Tyre and Babylon. The Catholic, Ambrosio by name, scores in his calm answer: that such symbols would merely be repaired and renewed by the faithful. And sure enough, those crosses stand there still, to-day, 1937, in as good a state of repair as ever. Besides, the fall of civilisations, and the migration of power from one nation to another: he sees as having been providentially intended for a definite end in the scheme of human redemption; "the foundation or the ruin of a kingdom, which appears in civil history so great an event, become—in the history of men and his religions institutions—of coinoaratively small moment." All three friends are struck by the very perishable nature of human systems and glories. If old Rome—strong, organised, shrewd —went the way of all flesh, what of modern policies, no matter how sanguine or militant? Their innings may be much briefer. Any one of twenty accidents may declare them out—a falling birthrate, a change in a trade wind, money losing its former value, an epidemic, a war, and so on. His two associates leave for one of the delightful social-ecclesiastical events that are continual in the eternal city; and Davy is left musing, till an apparition more than human shows him, in vision, a succession of the world's typical past ages, from the men of The unthe caves until now. earthly visitant, in reply to questions, has a good word for modern (that is, 1810-1840) warfare— "The monk who invented gunpowder did not merely affect the destinies of mankind, for wars are become less bloody by becoming less personal." Because thought, skill of many kinds and the resources of civilisation are now required to maintain and move therefore armies and navies, w ealth, ingenuity and perseverance become the principal elements of sucess. Even moral qualities—of control and endurance—now count for more. And in a war between fairly equally civilised people to-day, the side

which loses is at least "not overrun by millions of barbarians." (The last forty years has modified that sentiment for us; the very' latest twists given to the screw of warfare have been in the direction of a return to destruction and barbarism, in which noncombatants, churches, and centres of culture and even hospitals all suffer).

Plan of the World. The visiting Genius is on firmer ground when he turns from his hymn of praise of Invention to the teleology—the planned character—of this material world; the balance of the atmosphere, the vital proportion of vegetable to animal life, and the balance of the sexes. A conquest is not pretty; no war is; but its leader, whatever his limited aim, "is an instrument of divine power to effect a purpose of which he is unconscious—he is carrying a strong race to improve a weaker one ;" it is comparable to "the storms and heavy gale so usual at the vernal equinox—the time of the formation of the seed," for without these apparently rough disturbances a good deal of crossing and diffusion would not take place, though the process shows some incidental damage also. Well, if you can think this calmly while your country is being invaded, you are—a philosopher. A large part of the world's passionate excitement or resentment over secular happenings is due to the weak belitf in immo: tality. Where the survival of the soul is genuinely realised, many earthly events fall into their place. So this cultivated scientist implies in his five pages on the future state of the soul. "To- obey, to love, to wonder and adore, form our relations to the infinite Intelligence. We know all things begin from and end in His everlasting essence, the cause of causes, the power of powers." Again, so much depends on your standpoint. To a man whose horizon is hemmed in by this present scene, a million deaths form a catastrophe: "But strictly it is only a change of existence, and supposing the new existence a superior one it is a gain. To the Supreme Intelligence the death of a million human being is the mere circumstance of so many spiritual essence, changing their habitations. . . ." There is philosophic calm and aloofness! It is not human; it is simply veracity. Sc:entific realism concurs with Religion. Here is a fine observation by the Catholic friend: "I consider the early acts of the Jewish nation as the lowest and rudest steps of a temple raised by the Supreme Being to contain the altar of sacrifice to His glory. . And for many ages our senses required some assistance from the eye in fixing and perpetuating the character of religio...z. We have been accused of worshipping inanimate objects, but this is a very false no"'en of the nature of our faith; we regard them merely as vivid characters representing spiritual existence, and we no more worship them than the Protestant does his Bible when he kisses it under a solemn religious adjuration. Man being created in love for the pur-

pose of happiness, the moral and religious discipline to which he was submitted was in strict conformity to his progressive faculties and to the primary laws of his nature." Science's General Vice. There are perhaps only several scientists and philosophers alive who can speak in this strain and with a like grasp of matters out of their usual tracks. Davy and his companions range over every field of knowledge, and their talk goes forward for days in the exquisite scenical setting of Pastum, Sorento, and the Bay of Naples. -It is the general vice of human scientific systems," is one of his weighty warnings, "that they are usually founded upon a few facts, which they well explain, but are extended by the human fancy to all the phenomena of nature, to many of which they' must be contradictory." Davy early befriended and helped Faraday—another profound investigator who retained a lively belief in God and the destiny of the soul, like Kelvin and Liebig; also like Pasteur, Volta, Ampere, Galvani, Romanos and other Catholic scientists. With them, microscope and other apparatus did not put out the eye of Faith, they were vot half-men, but complete: and it does us mental good to associate with them and their writings. It is well to remember that some of the world's best doctors are Catholic, and that the Jesuits have always been leaders in astronomy. One of the many surprises and human touches in "The Consolations of Travel" is a story of a rosary blessed by Pius VII. when in imprisonment at Fontainebleu—an incident not beneath the attentive regard of the greatest scientist of his day and the President of the Royal Society. a familiar name in France. Germany and Russia. We have certainly no call to be apologetic about the heritage of our faith.—The "Catholic Times"

Recently there passed peacefully away, after a somewhat painful illness, borne with Christian fortitude, a descendant of one of the old wellknown Catholic families, in the person of Mrs. Ursula Harley, the beloved wife of Mr, H. Harley. Urs. Harley was the daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Reilly, of Northam. Her father was well known in journalistic circles in this State, being the first Editor of "The Record," and founder of the "Northam Advertiser." She was of a quiet, affectionate disposition, devoted to her home and family. Born in Perth 76 years ago, she was educated at the Victoria Square Convent, where he figured prominently in the scholastic awards. Her death occurred in St. John of God's Hospital, Belmont, on Sunday, December 5, which caused great sorrow to her relatives and numerous friends. She was well prepared to enter upon her eternal reward, and she had always been careful and devoted to her religious duties. The funeral took place at the Catholic Cemetery, Karrakatta, on Tuesday morning, leaving St. Brigid's Church, West Perth, after a Requiem Mass had been celebrated by Very Rev. Dean Brennan, and was well attended, The chief mourners were: Mr. Harry Harley (husband), Charles P. Reilly (brother), Mrs. C. P. Reilly (sister-in-law), Mrs. T. J. Bourke and Mrs. C, Courtland (sisters). Mr. C. Courtland (brother-in-law), Mrs, Grenville Courtland Miss (niece), Mrs. Katie Morrissey, Gina Lucas, Miss Kathleen Reilly (cousins). The pall-bearers were: Messrs. L. J. Hagarty, F. McDonagh, J. Ben. stead, F. J. Casey, Vincent Brady and The H.A.C.13.S., of which J. Vines. Mr Harry Harley is an honorary member, was represented by the Grand SecAmongst retary, Mr. Joe Edwards. those present at the graveside were Nit.. and Mrs. M. Mannix, Miss N. O'Mahony, Mrs. Dempsey, Mrs. Horan ( Belmont), and Mrs. A, Campbell (Subiaco). Rev. Father Casey officiated at the graveside. On December 12, Sister Mary Monica, of the Convent of St. Joseph of the Apparition, Albany, sister of the above, passed to her eternal reward, Scarcely a week separated the deaths Sister Monica of the two sisters. (Ellen Reilly) was educated by the Sisters of Mercy at Victoria Square, and entered the Congregation of St. Joseph of the ,Apparition at Fremantle. Later she was transferred to the Albany Convent, where the remainder of her life was passed. The deceased Sister was an exemplary religious and had spent 42 Years in religion. She died in her 79th, year. To her sorrowing relatives "The Record': extends profound sympathy in their double bereavement. R.T P.

GRAND ANNUAL ENTERTAINMENT. The pupils of St. Gertrude's College, New Norcia, presented their grand annual concert on Sunday evening, December 5. The College Hall was crowded with parents who had travelled from all parts of the State, and the enthusiasm prevalent to the closing tableau was most impressive. Among the gathering were observed His Lordship Abbot Catalan, O.S.B., and members of the Benedictine Community, Rev. Brother Placid (Director of St. Ildephonsus' College), and Professor Irving, of the W.A. University. A delightful overture by Misses Johanna Fitzgerald and Pam Ingram was the prelude to a extremely spectacular chorus, "The Waterfall." One could not fail . to imagine the rumbling and tumbling of the angry waters. A dialogue, "The Broken Doll," was a perfect example of the characters really living the part. Then in the "Folk Dances" the junior girls, daintily attired in Kate Greenaway frocks, charmed the audience. K. Thomson, with her 'cello solo, "Elegie," reflected great credit on her Alma Mater—the home of music. "Loves a Merchant" and "The Gift," sang by pupils, was creditably rendered. "Playful Ronde," a violin duet, bv two junior pupils, J. Daniels and M. Baseden, was accurately performed and thoroughly appreciated. The School Choir was heard in the following numbers. 'Sweet Vale of A voca," "Life's Lullaby." 'and "The Oak and the Ash," their voices ringing out in tones sublime. "My Leetle Rosa," a monologue, was an example of the high standard attained in speech

Then followed Uncle Jacob's Statue, which was one of the gems of the e vening, Uncle Jacob, with his idiocyncracies, played his part to perfection, and the attention of all was focussed upon the statue, until the climax when the deception of substituting Jane the Housemaid, for the timehonoured statue of Uncle Jacob's great-grandfather's uncle was revealed. The overture, "March Militaire," by T. Conova and M. Chitty, was ably performed. A delightful selection by three gifted instrumentalists, K. Thomson, 'cello; P. Ingram, violin, and M. Paterson, violin, was greeted with sustained applause. The playette, ''The Lost Child and the Fairy," was a very v ision of loveliness. The sparkling attire charmed all, while these clever little performers lilted their way to sustained admiration. The Violin and 'Cello Trio was a splendid performance in which K. Thomson, M. Paterson and P. Ingram again acquitted themselves with marked distinction, The Dancing Colleens, by the juniors, calling up b rightest memories of the Emerald Lie, was greeted with sustained applause and showed that the art of "tripping on the fantastic toe" is not nsglected at St. Gertrude's.

The reverence and awe apparent among the spectators spoke volumes for the singing of the hymns as the play progressed. The Tableau, w hich concluded this delightful and impressionable play, was one of the very best of its kind. The entertainment concluded. the Lord Abbot addressed the audience. He (the Spiritual Father of the girls of St. Gertrude's) declared his satisfaction with the efforts and success at. tam ed during this year. He urged the students to always remember to live up to the high ideals impressed - pen them during their stay at the r ollege. He felt proud of their elforts in all branches of study and concert work during the year, and was c onfident that there must be many parents feeling likewise in the hall that e vening.

Fremantle Christian (Brothers Old Boys Annual General Communion and Breakfast The third Annual General Communion of the past pupils of the Fremantle C.B.C. took place in St. Patrick's Church on Sunday, December 4, at a special 8 o'clock Mass. The grand manifestation of Faith which was presented was a fitting close to a highly successful Retreat, conducted duri9g the previous three days by Rev. Father Cahill, of the Redemptorist Order. Some 230 ex-students presented a wonderful spectacle, as they approached the altar rails in a body to receive the Blessed Sacrament. This great annual manifestation of Faith, which is . growing each year, is a most edifying experience for all ex-students, as well as great pleasure to all the Christian Brothers. During the Mass Mr. Jim McCusker gave a sweet rendition of "Ave Maria" on his violin. Rev. Father Cahill celebrated Holy Mass, during which he bestowed the Pope's blessing on all assembled.

The day was beautifully fine and the grounds looked gay with much bunting . and gaily decorated stalls. They were all well stocked, and it is pleasing to relate that most of the goods were donated by kind friends and sympathisers.

The fancy stall did good trade, as goods were marked at minimum price and the visitors were not slow to avail themselves of the opportunity to purchase seasonable gifts. The raffles, too, were most popular. The workers on the produce stall were kept busy all day, while the cakes and sweets stall had not an idle minute. However, it was the ice cream and cool drinks department that appealed to the young folk and they fairly besieged the helpers. Children are quick to note when the cups are well filled, and so they spent their pennies freely, As three o'clock approached there was an air of expectation noticeable, the reason being that the Vice-Regal party was due to arrive at that hour. Lady Mitchell was welcomed by the President of the League, and by Archbishop Le Fanu. Among others present were Mrs. Cardwell-Oliver, M.L.A., Rev. Father Johnston (Chaplain of the League), Mrs. T. M. Wilkinson, and Matron Bottle. His Grace, in a neat speech, eulogised the Catholic Women's League for the splendid spirit they had shown in organising the Fete, and then formally introduced Lady Mitchell an asked her to declare the Fete open. Her Ladyship, who was greeted with rounds of applause, added her meed of appreciation to that of the previous speaker. She said that the care of the sick was very dear to her heart. and it gave her very great pleasure to come along and help as far as she was able in the charitable work Later she visited the stalls and made many purchases. The League entertained Her Ladyship's party and other distinguished visitors at afternoon tea. During the afternoon Mrs. O'Connell and her assistants were kept busy dispensing the "cup that cheers" to scores o f patrons. The Shakespearean plays, staged by Miss Parker's pupils, were admirably done and received well-deserved applause. Shortly after five o'clock the announcer broadcasted the news that the Goose Club was about to be drawn, and all was excitement then. The first ticket drawn was No. 731, in the name of T.

THE RECORD

Christian Brothers' College PERTH Headmaster's Annual Report It is desirable at the close of the year to review the work done and to see to what extent the College is realising the ideals for which it stands, and how far its educational practice is in keeping with the philosophy on which it is based. This report is addressed primarily to the parents of our boys, and therefore it fulfils a very valuable function in that it gives me the opportunity to emphasise the influence of the home on a boy's college life. The early years of his life are the most impressionable, and it is during this period that he forms habits and adopts attitudes that will influence and direct his later development. Very little can be done in the school with the child who is not accustomed to the discipline of obedience in the home, and it is only when there is sincere co-operation between the school and the home that the best results can be achieved. The child who "can be led but not driven" has been allowed to learn that he can escape disagreeable tasks by simply refusing to do them. Such children submit with bad grace to the discipline of school, and very little can be done with them. In regard to the curriculum we cannot voice too much our opposition to the prevailing idea that a boy should learn in school only such subjects as have a direct bearing on his future avocation. The man on the land or in an office is as much entitled to the cultural advantages of a wide education as the professional man. That the importance of this fact is appreciated by the parents of our boys is evidenced by the number of students who continue their college career as far as the Leaving Standard, and more so by the number who take out courses at the University. It is with great pleasure that we record the ordination to the priesthood during the year of Rev. Fr. A. Valentine and Rev. Fr. J. O'Mahoney. We congratulate these two distinguished ex-students and we trust that their efforts in the wide mission field that is open to them will be abundantly blessed by Almighty God.

Success has crowned the work of the Old Boys attending the University. Specially meritorious is the achievement of Mr. T. Donnelly, who in 1936 headed the list at the Adelaide University in Fifth Year Medicine, and was awarded the B.M.A. Prize. We offer our congratulations also to the nine ex-pupils of C.B.C. on whom University degrees were conferred in April of this year. They are Alan Ockerby, B.A., Francis M. Leyden, B.Sc., Desmond O'Driscoll, B.Sc., Clement O'Sullivan, LL.B., Leo R. Parker, B.Sc.Dip.Ed., Kevin L. Devlin LL.B.(Hons.), Arthur R. Neil, B.A., David \ NI. Fienberg, B.A., and Ronald F. Ward, B.A. Of the undergraduates at the University, nineteen represent this College; in addition, one is taking out a diploma of metallurgy at the Perth Technical College, and three of our ex-students are in the Teachers' Training College.

Our results in the Public Examinations have maintained the high standard of former years. Thirteen of our boys obtained the Leaving Certificate last year, David Durack obtaining a Science Teachers' Exhibition. Of these boys we can safely say that they have laid a foundation broad enough and deep enough to carry a strong and extensive superstructure in future years. In the Junior Examinations forty boys obtained certificates, and of these twenty-five returned to the College to undertake the two years' course in preparation for the Leaving Certificate. The Captain of the College was Edward Prendiville and the excellent example he set for his fellow students cannot receive too high commendation. He is President of the College S.V.P. Society, and with the aid of the enthusiastic office-bearers of the conference has been an inspiration to the boys of the College in providing for the needy in hospitals and orphanages. During the year our Literary, Dramatic and Debating Society continued its activities with unabated enthusiasm. Mindful of the importance of the art of public speaking the members arranged that the boys of the senior classes would be given opportunities of debating with outside bodies. In the competitions held in this connection during the year Colin Pollett was successful in winning the prize for first place in oratory and E. Prendiville obtained first place in debating. Victories in the football, athletics, and tennis gave us more than our quota of successes in the sphere of sport. And in the House Competitions enthusiasm was a marked feature. The Needham Cup for the best and fairest player was won by B. O'Hara. Twenty of the younger boys of the College made their First Confessions and First Holy Communions at various times throughout the year. Thirty-two were confirmed in St. Mary's Cathedral on October 7th. Sixty boys were enrolled as members of the Holy Name Society. We owe a deep debt of gratitude to Your Grace for your continued interest in the various activities of the College. To you, and to the A dministrator, Very Rev. Fr. Kennedy, and to the other devoted priests of the Cathedral staff we are indebted for unfailing attention to the spiritual needs of the boys. To the Record staff we offer our sincere thanks for many acts of courtesy during the year. And so, at the end of its existence as a boarding school, this College stands today with 43 years of solid work behind it, years of struggle and triumph, a credit to the Archdiocese, proud of the pupils it has sent out from its halls, proud of the men who devoted themselves to the arduous work of education and proudest of all of those who have devoted them- Ives to the service of God either in the sacred ministry or have joined the various missionary and teaching orders. A new chapter opens and we invite our friends and supporters and all who have been in any way connected with the work of the old College to focus their attention on the development of the new. In conclusion I extend on behalf of the Christian Brothers the compliments of the season to you all. C. P. FOLEY, Headmaster.

TI-111-ia RECORD Celibacy of the Clergy

The aspirations of a number of Anglican leaders for a celibate clergy, reported from London during the week, is of especial interest. The signatories of the memorial on this subject emphasised that, as laymen, they were concerned largely with the finanSome may be recial, not the theological, aspects of celibacy. the proposal, but behind utilitarian motives pelled by the sheerly in fairness it should be noted that even St. Paul laid some weight upon this aspect of the matter. The principle, however, which underlies the Church's action in enforcing celibacy upon the clergy, goes much deeper. The very earliest conceptions of the Church were couched in such symbols as th. Virgin Bride, the pure Body of Christ, and the Virgin Mother. It was, therefore, most apposite that this virgin Church should be served by a virgin priesthood. Pre-Christian religions favoured, as a rule, an hereditary priesthood whose functions and powers were transmitted by natural generation. But in the Christian Church, the sacerdotal character was imparted by the Holy Ghost in the divinely -instituted Sacrament of Holy Orders. • Virginity, therefore, is the special mark and character of the Christian priesthood. Yet the Church, in enforcing celibacy on her clergy, intends no disparagement of the married state. Virginity and marriage are both holy, dignified each by a special Sacrament. But they are holy in different ways. Yet there is indisputably a profound instinct in the heart of man which ascribes to virginity a higher sanctity and clearer spiritual intuitions. Added to this are the practical complications which a married clergy involves and of which St. Paul wrote understandingly to the Corinthians. It is easily realised how the practical lessons in disinterestedness, which are bound up with celibacy, lend added force to the moral power of the priesthood. In the case of a married clergy, on the other hand, there are real obstacles to really confidential relations, and more especially to confession. Particularly in the missionary field is the handicap of a married clergy evident. Critics of the most varying hues are prepared to admit that whatever genuine work of conversion is done, is effected by the Catholic missionaries, whose celibate condition permits them to live among the natives as one of themselves.

The aspect of the comparatively slight cost of the Catholic missions with their unmarried clergy is one that need not be dwelt upon. It is brought into sufficiently strong relief by these present Anglican proposals in regard to the domestic sphere. But one is struck by this incongruity in the non-Catholic attitude. In regard to the laity in their ranks they relax the obligations or matrimony to such an extent that the natural law is set at nought. while in regard to the clergy they wish to impose a spiritual estate so high and so strict, whereas celibacy is only binding through ecclesiastical legislation. It becomes more and more difficult to see how men of good faith and undoubted intelligence can persevThe ere in the propagation of the English schism and heresy. proposals, however, are worthy of commendation if only from the s tandpoint that they are a belated confession of error and an unnecessary __endorsement of a very old Catholic disciplinary measure. ••••••••••••

THE RECORD

Banning of Confetti at Weddings Monsignor Jackson Hands Throwers Bags of Rice : "Sweeps Up Easily" Mgr. Canon Arthur Jackman, of Holy Rood Church, Watford, England, is the latest member of the anti-confetti movement. Father Patrick Leonard, of St. A ugustine's, Leeds, started it when he announced that bridegrooms must deposit 10s. before the wedding, the money to go for cleaning purposes if confettithrowers left the church grounds untidy. Since then others have followed. Father Martin Foley, of New Jersey, U.S.A., banned rice, too. Jackman Canon But Mgr. plumps for rice every time. "If," he says, "I see that confetti is going to be thrown at the happy couple (and over half the church grounds), I step in and hand the 'throwers' a bag of rice each." Outside Holy Rood Church he has put this notice: Confetti Versus Rice. Rice is the symbol of prosperity and fecundity. It is white, clean and sprightly. Confetti is volatile and sticky, the symbol_ of frivolity and light-headedness. Rice symbolises a home that is easily garnished and swept; con-

fetti symbolises a home that obstinately refuses to be cleaned. Rice is life; confetti is dead paper. Rice is food and the augury of a full larder and a fragrant kitchen; confetti is dirt or matter out of place, the symbol of canned and tinned food, that fills and does not feed. Rice is the seed of flower and food, the token of peace and plenty; confetti is the seed of nothing, except an angry sweeper. Rice argues smiles; confetti arRice is made by gues frowns. God who made weddings; confetti is made by machines which made unemployment. So Here is a packet of rice for the wedding, and confetti be banned. N.B.: 1. Confetti savours of boys and a paper chase; but why waste it now that the chase is over, and the hare is caught? 2. Rice is cheaper than confetti. 3. It only ceased to be used when the Great War exigencies forbade such use of food. 4. It sweeps up easily. 5. It feeds the birds. 6. Its sting reminds the happy couple that there is no rose without a thorn.

Ceremony of Profession at St. John of God Convent, Subiaco A very impressive religious ceremony took place in the St. John of God Convent Chapel on the morning of the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, when eight young Novices were admitted to the Religious Profession. In the absence of His Grace the Archbishop, Very Rev. Dr. Kennedy, Adm., assisted by the Convent Chaplain, Rev. Father Lyne, celebrated Holy Mass and received the vows of the Sisters. The beautiful altar, set in roses and gladioli, struck a very festive note ,while the Convent Choir was at its best in the sacred music appropriate to the occasion. On this, her beautiful Feast Day, when her children in every land vie with each other in doing her homage, Mary Immaculate must have looked down from Heaven with a Mother's pride and love on the young virgins who, having broken the ties of home and country, were consecrating their lives to the service of her Divine Son by the vows of Poverty, Chastity and Obedience. The Sisters thus privileged

Sunday evening, December 5, was marked by a very memorable and impressive function at Collie, when His Grace the Archbishop conferred the It was Sacrament of Confirmation. the first time that this ceremony had taken place in the new church, and the beauty of the latter, heightened by the lighting system, which showed up to perfection the elaborate care of the decorations, was fitting to the occasion. The 48 children to be confirmed presented a very pretty picture as they occupied the front seats of the church, the boys on the right and the girls, in their white dresses and veils, on the When His Grace gave the inleft. struction before administering the Sacrament, the bright manner in which the children followed the discourse was very gratifying both to their teachers and their parents. The reception of the Sacrament by six adults added to the solemnity. His Grace was attended by Rev. Father Downey and Rev. Father Rispin. In the course of a very inspiring address afterwards to the people, His Grace, complimenting them on past achievements, urged them to continue the work of reducing the parish debt by a further concentration of effort.

Wagin Congratulations to the Sisters upon their splendid success at the annual fete on Saturday afternoon last. From far and near they came to this attractive and deserving function, (Yes, Sir, some journeyed 120 miles.). And no wonder for what a draw it was! Sweets, ice creams, fish pond, fancy work, lucky wheel, etc., all combined to realise a most substantial "turn-over" in exchange for lots of fun—yes, even Father Xmas came, decked out on a decorated motor lorry, whilst the after. noon tea was "a la Wagin." Nuff sed! What about those raffles, boss? Oh, ',es, here is the result: Goose Club: Turkey, R. J.

Members of the Holy Name Society, to the number of over eighty, received Holy Communion, as well as one hundred and sixty-three candidates for In his address His Confirmation. Grace expressed his pleasure at the present strength of the Holy Name...Society, and urged members to persevere in carrying out the rules of the Society, particularly as shown on the present occasion. In the evening the Sacrament of Confirmation was administered before a packed congregation. His Grace, attended by the Very Rev. Dean Hayes, and preceded by cross-bearer and acolytes, entered the church by the main entrance. while the choir sang the "Ecce Sacerdos Magnus."

The Holy Name Society. The first annual general meeting of the Boulder branch of the H.N.S. was held last Sunday evening at the Convent School Rooms. The president, Mr. J. Lowry, occupied the chair, and the attendance was good. The secretary, Mr. J. McGinty, reported on the activities of the branch since the inception, and Rev. Father Brennan expressed his pleasure at the progress made, and stated that the branch must not halt but continue to go ahead and increase of membership. He was again very satisfied with the attendance at the Holy Communion that morning. The election of officers fOr the ensuing term resulted as follows: President, \V. Whyte; vice-president, C. Morgan; hon. secretary, J. McGinty; treasurer, J. J. Ardagh; councillors, Messrs. Boy-len, Lowry, Daly, Sharkey. Prefects will be selected at the next meeting. "The Record" Xmas Number. Favourable comments were heard on all sides last Sunday regarding the Xmas Number of "The Record," and readers must indeed be proud that they have a Catholic press in the State capable of producing such an excellent number. Proud also must they be to note the progress of the Catholic Church in W.A., as evidenced by the growth of churches and schools, photographs of which appeared in the supplement. All Hallows' Tennis Club. It was very interesting to tennis players to read an account in "The Record" of the history of the WA Catholic Tennis Association, and per. haps it would not be out of place to review the activities of one of the affiliated country clubs, viz., All Hallows, Boulder. Scarcely eighteen months ago several of us remember the initial meeting, when it was decided to start a parish tennis club. All that was avail. able was the grounds, and the view was held by a few that without funds in hand it would be difficult to start, in view of the existing well established clubs in the district. However a start was made with four members and a contract let without funds) to construct a colas court with a gravel foundation. Thanks to much enthusiasm and a great deal of voluntary labour from the enthusiasts, the court was finished and a small shelter shed erected. In six months the membership grew to 4() and a second court was constructed. A few months later saw the membership increase to 65 and a third court laid down. Now, although there are at least t wenty tennis clubs on the Goldfields, All Hallows is second only to Kalgoorlie Tennis Club in point of membership. whilst it is the strongest of the eight established clubs in Boulder, and the only one with three courts. Although expenses to date have been heavy the treasurer is able to report a credit balance at the bank. The club intends continuing its progressive march, and its enthusiastic leaders, J. Lowry and T. Ardagh, are visualising the building in the near future of a fourth court and a suitable club pavilion . The season has been one of marked activity with many interesting tournaments-and several visits to other neighbouring clubs as far afield as coolgardie, and in this regard it is pleasing to note the splendid harmonious relations that prevail between All Hallows Tennis Club and the other various tennis clubs on the fields. Club members are particularly proud of the fact that Miss Gwen Maronev has been one of the two Goldfields ladies selected to represent the 'fields in the State junior ladies' championship matches at the coast at Xmas. In conclusion, it may be said that too much praise cannot be showered on the heads of the committee who have been resconsible for the progress outlined and who have provided the means of the Catholic young people of both sexes meeting in such healthy and happy surroundings.

The 1937 series of inter-club shield matches was very successful from every point of view. The pennant committee, comprising Mesrs. D. McGillivray, J. Tully, W. Stainthorpe, E. de Luca, and J ack Edwards, is to be commended for its splendid work during the year, which resulted in the shield matches and annual tournarhent being disposed of with a complete absence ot anything approaching friction.

For the match in Perth on February 4 and 5—Australia v. Germany —it is hoped that the best available will represent A ustralia. This will be the last appearance of the German team in Australia.

The following are the results o f the shield matches: Women's Division. "A" Grade: St. Mary's. "B" Grade: St. 13rigid's. "C" Grade: Nedlands. "D" Grade: St. Mary's. Men's Division.

On Sunday, 5th. inst., members of the club had the pleasure of entertaining a large number of the members of St. Brigid's Club on our courts. At one time social visits between the two clubs took place fairly regularly, but for the last two or three years these enjoyable events have fallen into disuse. Now that they have been revived, there will be no doubt about their continuance. The contests took the form of a medal tournament, and the four prizes were won by members of St. Brigid's Club. The ladies' prizes were secured by Misses M. Cullen and'A. Daly, and the men's prizes by Messrs. George Somers and J. Doogue. The presidents of the respective clubs, Messrs. J. Edwards and B. C. Hagarty, made hort speeches expressing the pleasure of the members at the success of the function, and the hope that similar visits would be arranged in the near future. The courts and grounds are in splendid condition, the lawns being a veritable feast for the eyesight. The club has a few vacancies for members and enquiries are invited from Catholics wherever resident. St. Brigid's, West Perth.

SAY: I SAW YOUR AD. IN "THE RECORD."

W hen Melbourne was allotted the triangular match, Australia v. Germany v America, the powers that be in tennis circles in Sydney "put on a show." So well did they perform that the Australian authorities relented, and has given Sydney a t hree-day match against the Germans, December 27, 28 and 29, with an exhibition match between Von Cramm and Budge thrown in, and so everybody is happy. Apart from the ranked players in the recent Victorian championships, outstanding juniors were Max Newcombe, of South A ustralia, who won the junior singles in great style, and looks the part of a Davis Cup .player of the future; and Miss D. Whittaker, 13 years old, who won the girls' title. This pair should be watched with interest if they appear in the Linton Cup matches in Adelaide round about January 18. It would be wise—it has been discussed—for the W.A.L.T.A. to determine that young players be sent to Adelaide for the Linton Cup matches, and the Australian championships. It is good to see that youth is being encouraged in this world-wide athletic pastime, and such names as W. F. Stephen, N. Wasley, M. Bonner among the seniors are coupled with those of our most promising juniors, R. Stephen, M. McDermott, W. Cairns-Hill and A. Davy. The State championships have been allotted to the Onslow Park Club. Play will commence on Christmas Day, and judging by the high standard of play produced at the Spring Tournament, the play shopld be the best for a number of years. Country Week will commence on Monday, February 21, and it is proposed to divide the entrants into sections, with a maximum of six teams in each section. This will be an improvement, and should be welcome to our country cousins. A nother suggestion is that team play be confined to the mornings and the afternoon kept for individual championship matches. Norman Brookes, ex-Australian champion, and claimed by many as the greatest player of all time, is now President of the Lawn Tennis Association of Australia. He has been doing good work in arranging for the visit of oversea stars. His latest announcement is that Senorita Anita Lizana, brilliant Chilian player and holder of the American women's singles, will visit Australia next year. How they do it in. America.

My Dear Grown-Ups and Little Chit dren,—Here again is Christmas, the time when most of us think of everyone who is dear to our hearts, so I wish you all a most holy and happy celebration of the sweetest feast of the year, with the blessings of Our Lady's Lovely Babe to enhance its every moment and bring you more intimately into the encircling love of Their Two Hearts, which should be to us all our most precious and untarnished affection. So many are doing their best to rob mankind of this precious possession that it should make us all the more eager to keep alive in our own souls and in the souls of everyone whom we can influence the beautiful Truth that the Son of God did take flesh and blood of a Virgin Mother, and came down among His sinful creatures that He might win them back to the ways of virtue and security. Christmas, because of its commemmoration of the chaste birth of Our Divine Lord, is pre-eminently the principal feast of the family and the Christian home Sorry and sad indeed is•our lot if, as this holy feast comes round each year, we cannot look back and remember the innocent and religious happiness that marked its passing in the days of our childhood. Sorry and more sad is our lot if now in the inaturer years we find ourselves unable to participate in all the graces the Divine Babe of Bethlehem has waiting and ready for those who remain His faithful generous followers, and I hope, my Cornerites, that each and every one of you will get so near to Our Lord on this coming anniversary of His

Dear Margaret,—St. Margaret's namesakes are well represented in the Con ner this week, and thank you ever so much for the 2/6 and the dear little Pinkie; she looked so improved after her outing that I had no difficulty in persuading a fresh one to go to you, and I hope she will be worth half a crown before the 31st., or we mightn't make that Century. Did you see His Royal Highness Prince Charming at the Zoo on the 9th. He went incognito and only wore an ordinary hat instead of a crown, so you might have missed him? AUNT BESSY.

We spent exactly one month in the Golden City, as it is called, and the particular domain on which The Gentle One's country seat is built was so like A.B.'s suburb in Perth that we felt at home there immediately. It was here that A.B. slept long and soundly, with all dreams of trying to raise cash relegated to the days that were, and so quite and countryish was the life we lead that I, too, lost sight of the fact that I was a Private Secretary to one of the leading beggars of W.A., and took pleasure in going for long walks with Pigtail Sue, and of sitting on a rock alongside her, the while both of us indulged in the innocent and pleasant competition of finding who could reach the core of the eating apple first. There is a deal of difference in the taste of an apple when you eat it sitting on a rock instead of sitting up in state at the breakfast table, but there can be a disadvantage about it also, when a companion eater solicits your pen-knife to peel her fruit, and then cuts off a slice of the apple with half a red grub in it and begins ta ,:wallow both, because apart from your pen-knife having blood-curdling memories for ever adhering to it, you are obliged to render first aid by catching a coughing damsel in your arms while you proceed to hit her vigorously in the back so that she C ANDLES ON CHRISTMAS may rid her throat of the uninvited T REE. guest, and, after all, I was as much as energies my to let-up a of need in Did you ever hear about why was A.B., so that after one experit he Christmas tree has candles on ence in that line I was not on for too many more apple-eating competitions, it?

But even when I went to him he had the bright smile for me, and the loving word; and when he passed away 'twas like a child going to sleep, tired out and weary, and glad to close its eyes !" He was silent, and tears were rolliiw down his cheeks. At last he said softly: "He's better where he is, doctor, for he was too gentle for this hard world. I took my last look at him when he was lying all alone in his priest's dress, in the old Cathedral of Kilsyth ; and the people had come and gone, and the night had fallen, and the cold moon was looking in, and there he lay—God bless him! his hands folded on his breast, and his eyes closed, sleeping all alone! I thought to myself how lonesome it was for the poor boy to be sleeping there—him that should have been bright and happy, and smiling out in the sunshine; and I knelt down by him and put my lips to his brow, and the next day I followed him to his last home."

Xmas Story

Never Too Late (By G. E. LEON.) "Good-bye, Aunty," sang four tiny voices together. "Good-bye, darlings," she responded, kissing the four rosy cheeks. "Good-bye, Miss Kennedy. A Merry Christmas!" "The same to you, Nurse! Your charges are a wee bit tired, and a little dubious about the cakes they have eaten; please put Theresa and Anne at ease. .They are always so worried lest they hurt my feelings!" She laughed softly. They were all so anxious to make her happy! As they trooped out into the garden dusk was falling; the trees stood out in sharp relief against the dim shades of the Reaching the gate, they sky. turned and waved again. A sturdy little figure broke from the grasp of Nurse's hand, and came running back to the steps where she stood: "You didn't kiss me good-bye, Aunty, not on both cheeks, anyhow!" She picked him up and holding him close, kissed him "on both cheeks." Laughing, he wriggled out of her arms and ran to rejoin his nurse. Miss Kennedy watched them till they disappeared from view, then, turning, entered the room, dosing the doo'r behind her. There was the table with its gay flowers, caps and tinsel, the chairs pushed aside just as the children had left them when they had caught her by the hands, pulling her into the room. singing: Birthday , "Happy Aunty Marie!" She was smiling when Emma entered and began to clear the table. "Do you want to go to bed vet, Miss Kennedy?" " o, Emma, but you may. if you wish. I have a lot to do, as it's Christmas Eve."

"I'll come back for you at halfpast eleven, Miss Kennedy." Marie did not hear her. Emma looked at the figure seated by the window, at the soft, silver hair. the beautifully cut profile, the white, slender fingers resting on. the ebony stick. A smile played round Marie's lips as she reached for her light shawl and placed it over her shoulders. Softly Emma left the room, closing the door behind her. The lamp burning before the statue of the Blessed Virgin flickered on her calm, beautiful face and on the face of the Child Jesus she holds so lovingly. Marie awoke from her reverie and turned on the wireless to hear the announcer's voice: "Tonight we present a programme entitled 'Favourites of Yesterday, commencing with Marie Kennedy singing 'Do You Remember?' from .the play 'Almond Blossoms.' " The startled listener drew the shawl closer about her shoulders as the rich, vibrant voice stole softly through the shadows of the room, a voice once heard would ever remain in one's memory. The song ended. the announcer's voice broke her in on thoughts: "Nearly thirty years have passed since Marie KenWedy disappeared from the theatrical world, and since that time the whereabouts of this magnificent actress have remained a mystery. The recorded versions of her memorable songs alone remain in testimony of the fame that was hers. We will now hear 'Souvenirs,' from the same play." Night had fallen in its starspangled beauty; Marie looked into the darkness. Through the trees she could see an old-fashioned house covered with rambling roses. • . . A week had passed since the bells had rung in the New Year of 1902. In eager tones Marie was beseeching her mother: "Max' I go out now. Mother, as there is nothing else I can do.

to her sister. "All right, Marie Let me see, where were 'we now ?" "Where Diana discovers Sir Justin's plot to alter the will," Marie replied, as Theresa flicked over page after page. Idly she listened to the steady voice of her sister, watching the butterflies hover over the bright carnations, then with quick, graceful movements fly to the other flowers. From the drawing room came the lilting strains of "Humoresque." "Lovely Spring! Lovely world," thought Marie, jumping to her feet, her head held high. her eves shining. "Oh. Marie, you're not listening!" Theresa exclaimed. Marie tossed her chestnut hair over her shoulders, and as if caught in the spell of Spring began humming a melody. Pivoting . on her toes, she began in graceful movements an impromptu dance, her blue skirt swirling about her ankles as she bowed and pirouetted. In the perfect setting of the garden, even the butterfly stopped in its flight and hovered near. "Oh, Marie, you're lovely" Hardly hearing Theresa's exclamation, she danced on, carried a way by the music, the breeze, the beauty of the garden. A horrified exclamation shattered her dream. "Oh, child, what ever are you doing!" Hastily Mrs. Kennedy hurried the t wo girls- into the house, and was on the point of a severe lecture when she became awat2 of a stranger at the gate. Noticing her embarassment, he hastened to introduce himself as J . 11. Stanning, •manager of the Olympic Opera Company, whereupon before the bewildered gaze of the sisters he was ushered into the drawing room. During the interview which followed, the two waited eagerly to hear the reason of his visit. Upon his departure, oowevei, their curiosity remained ,insatisfied and neither had the courage to question their mother. Tea over, they waited expe-A-tantly,, but as no explanation was forthcoming it was generally agreed by bedtime that there was "sometiling in the air." Their suspicions were intensified when their parents' subdued conversation was disturbed by the sound of the door-knocker. There was no need to wonder as to the caller's identity ; it was Mr. Stanning. The girls' excitement changed t , ) wonder when, after some minutes. they heard their father's tones. "Absurd! The child is not seventeen." An hour had passed when the clinking of cups announced that supper was in progress, and that an agreement had evidently been reached. Preparing for early Mass next morning-, no information was proferred, and the girls concluded that the reason of the visit would remain a mystery. Marie took her place in the choir, her beautiful voice filling the House of God with sacred melody. The choir was proud of Marie, but Marie was prouder still to be able to sing the praises of her .Lord. The days passed into weeks, the weeks into months, when one day mother told them that Marie must go to the city. It was some time before Marie got used to the hustle and bustle of city life. The dancing teacher was veY-.- nice. Although Ivor Puni(-11,, made her work very hard. she recognised his genius and put all her heart and soul into her lessons.

Saturday, December 18, 1937. Marie one day recognised her singing teacher --at Mass, and from then a friendship sprang up between the two girls. They attended Mass and devotions and made their visits together. In the beautiful peace and quiet of the church, Marie would kneel while contentment filled her soul. The Babe in his Holy Mother's arms, with His own little arms outstretched, were a never-ending joy to her. The great white pillars, the pealing of the organ, the •voices raised in praise, all told of the serenity and beauty not found outside the Holy House. In this abode of peace she felt solace when weighed down with cares. A loving- confidence sprang up between her and "Him" who d welt in the Tabernacle. It was some four years later that she made her debut in the M elbourne Opera House. The lights, the applause, the bouquets, the Father, congratulations. mother, Theresa, Chris and Joan all so proud and happy—these pronounced "Success." She smiled and bowed to her audience, but from her grateful heart arose a song, a praise to the Blessed Mother and the Babe; to them site referred the honours showered on her that night. Further success followed rapidly in the wake of this brilliant night. Marie Kennedy became the toast of every dramatic and musical circle. She visited Venice, Rome, Munich and other great cities, and looked longingly towards the Holy Land with its sweet associations and memories so dear to the Christian heart. Her patrons hurried her on. Soon she was drawn into the whirl of Society, amidst the gliti ter of diamonds and the wealth of furs and finery. Her lovely0. .... v oice no longer uttered hymns bt -love and praise to God. The Sunday Mass became an impossibility amidst the long list of appointments. Prayers became tiresome and were ere long reduced to a few mumbled in bed. London welcomed her and toasted her beauty and talent. Marie Kennedy's "Souvenir"— who could ever forget that grand final scene: "The Silver-Haired Beatrice" searching in a trunk for letters and finding a faded crushed rose; the beautiful voice with a slight tremor as she finished her song, Beatrice falling across the trunk, the shawl falling from her silvery hair, the rose from her lifeless fingers. The critics from the leadiqg newspapers vied with one another in acclaiming' her as the greatest actress of her day. London soon raised its glasses to toast her anew—as the fiancee of the Hon. Alan Stanhope, only son of Lord and the late Lady Stanhope. So Society gathered in colourful throngs beneath the glittering crystal chandeliers to see Alan Stanhope on place Marie's finger the token of their betrothal, and to begin the endless procession of parties, appointments and fittings which were to be but a prelude to the magnificent Society wedding. Fearing that the strain would impair the health of his cherished Marie, Alan proposed that she accompany him on a visit to his cousins in Ireland, to which suggestion she readily agreed. Her charming manner and arresting personality entranced her hosts, who showered her with kindness and hospitality. Little six-year-old John. after staring at Marie for some time, suddenly asked her if she could sing

Saturday, December 18, 1937. Marie smiled at poor, wee John, bewildered at the stern looks directed upon him, and immediately set all at ease by her beautiful rendition of their favourite Irish airs. Rambling together one evening, they walked in silence to the summit of a hill over which the shy young moon shed her pale r adiance. "How lovely," whipered Marie. "Yes, by Jove, she is rather a beautiful old thing," returned A lan, enthusiastically. She is young, Alan, always." "No, no, Marie, you will be f orever young to me," he cried, "See, here c lasping her hand. is a little Church; let's be married to-night and surprise them all." "Don't be absurd, Alan."

Never had Marie's voice held so much beauty as when she joined in singing the hymns of praise which rose from a grateful heart.

"If you hadn't wanted to marry Stanhope, you would have had a \A-1)01e season in Paris." "I will have a whole season in Paris." answered Marie, steadily. Stanning took the cigar from his mouth and stared at her. "Do you really mean it? Oh, Miss Kennedy, how can I thank you." " A season in Paris and then I finish forever." "You can't. Miss Kennedy, you can't. Your public won't let you. "Mv public have done a lot for me. I nearly lost something more precious, more beautiful A knock interrupted " her, and the maid entered.

THE RECORD another success to her crown of f ame. At the end of her season came the news of the broken engagement. The world gasped, but Marie smiled happily as the beautiful Australian shores came into view. Back in her old home, in her dear mother's sheltering arms, under the kind guardianship of Father O'Brien, a new peace filled Marie's soul, and she desired no more. She caught again those slender threads of beauty and wove them slowly, but firmly, round her heart, threads that Mary held in the tiny hands of the Divine Child. Her brother, Chris, and her sisters, Theresa and Joan, had married, and Marie's delight was to nurse her laughing nieces and nephews and sing lovingly to them. On the 8th. of September, the glorious feast of "Our Lady's Birthday," Mrs. Kennedy passed away as the last golden ray of the sun touched her in farewell. How vividly Marie remembered the quiet room, the good priest, father kneeling, holding his wife's hand. Somehow, father did not seem to release her hand, for a few months later, after Mass, he complained of feeling tired. Returning home, he laid down to rest, never to wake again. In Marie's burned incidents heart the brightly, like lamps at the Blessed Virgin's shrine.

The time is eleven-thirty, and we are now closing down until 7.30 a.m. A Happy Xmas to all our listeners." The little blue lamp flickered brightly.

A knock came at the door and Emma entered. "I thought you m ight come to Midnight Mass with me, Miss Kennedy." " Yes, I'll come along, Emma: w ould you bring my hat and coat, please?" The organ played softly; she heard crying a little. "Funny," she mused, "for Emma to cry. F must pray for Alan.

I had difficulty in persuading dad to even take time off for a game of golf or tennis. Then there was my pal and classmate, who spent every- evening with me and who for eight months stayed outside my door all night. I had complete confidence in my doctor at all times, and he gave nis unlimited time and effort to make - me comfortable. My nurses and I grew to be very good friends.
