The baby had been given the names "Alfred Homer," and when making the usual entries in the baptismal register, the minister paused as he came to the second name, The parents, he knew, were simple, working-class people, and as his mind went back to the old Greek scholar, he thought it rather a queer name f or them to choose.

Why the Jews Rejected Christ Interested Listener, Sydney: Why did the Jews reject Christ? Not all of them did. Great numbers of Jews were converted in the first years of Christianity. Still the religious leaders of the Jews, and most of the Jewish people, were not. The first reason for this N -as the general corruption of moral standards amongst them. Josephus tells us of the prevailing spirit of dishonesty and depravity amongst them. The pride of the Pharisee was not much impressed by the doctrine of meekness and humility preached by Jesus.

Why do the Jews still deny that Christ was God? Because they are not sufficiently interested to go into the question. Most of them are content with what their fathers before them have believed. Then, too, the Jews have a most strong national bond identified with their religion, and their very sense of isolation from other peoples even whilst in the midst of then, keeps them aloof from the reliFurthermore, gion of others. the Jews still centre their hopes and expectations on a salvation restricted to this world, and devote little thought to the hereafter and to the supernatural. Finally, I think most Jews have a latent consciousness of the illtreatment to which they have been subjected, often most unjustly, by professing Christians; and this in itself would leave a kind of repugnance for the religion of those who injured them. predisposing them against so much as considering its claims. Claims and Work of Christ. How did Christ prove Himself to be God?

Missioner Crosses Africa to Study Native fa.thful Most Tribes Believe in One God, He Finds. A fter a journey right across the A frican continent to study the religious beliefs of its peoples, Father Tastevin, of the Holy Ghost Fathers, a noted French explorer and ethnographist, has arrived back in Paris. His studies were undertaken at the request of the French Minister of Education and of the Paris headquarters of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith. Father Tastevin began his mission at Mossatnedes, Angola, on the Atlantic sea-coast, and passed through the Belgian Congo, the British possessions of Uganda and Kenya and the British protectorate of Tanganyika. The journey was made by rail, car and steamer. The missionary studied 29 tribes of Bantu origin and eight others. All the tribes he visited believed in God, and most of them in a single God, Father Tastevin tells "La Croix" . in an interview. Most of them offer propitiator), sacrifices. Certain tribes, especially in Angola and Belgian Congo, have as intercessor to the divinity an ancient king or the founder of the tribe. Father Tastevin's findings agree with those made in Tanganyika by a native priest and also with those of Father Williams, S.J., the well-known ethnological professor of Boston.

The Vatican And The Japanese War Rumours Issued For , Propaganda Purposes

In reply to the above and to another Press rumour to the effect that the Vatican and Japan have c oncluded a new Concordat, the "Osservatore Romano" has published the following disclaimer: "Although the false and tendencious character of this information should be evident to all those who are familiar with the principles that inspire the Holy See's activities, the Vatican desires to forestall the harm these reports may do, in particular to the Ca,tholic missions in China, and declares that the whole tenor of the communique is pure fabrication, issued for propaganda purposes, and without the least foundation in fact." The Pope on War. The same paper then quotes the present Pope's words on war: "War is at best a dreadful and inhuman business, for it makes man the hunter of man, seeking to kill him, to kill as many hu-

mans as he can, and by murderous means to damage their possessions. That nations should again arm themselves against each other, that our brothers' blood should once again be spilled, that destruction should be carried on on land, at sea and in the air—all this is so inconceivably criminal that we should deem it impossible in the light of the juridical principle that violations of right should not be compatible with human reason. We cannot think that those who take to heart the well-being and prosperity of nations should surrender, not only their own people, but half the human race, to murder, plunder and annihilation. If , however, any there be so insensate (which may God avert), we can only pray with saddened hearts: Dissipa gentes quae bella volunt (Scatter the nations that desire war). Pray that war be suppressed, and It is our that we be spared. constant desire and prayer to God, the God of peace, whose lips uttered no other word than May the Pax vobis, pax vobis! peace be yours." In Tokio, Mgr. Paolo Mare11a, to Japan, Apostolic Delegate made a statement declaring that with reference to the alleged new movement among Japanesc_ Catholics, he had so far received no instructions from the Vatican. "The Holy See," he added, "takes no sides in political differences, wherever they occur. Nevertheless Japan's attitude towards Bolshevism is in agreement with Catholic ideals, and a Japanese vicwould tory over Bolshevism benefit China first, and the whole world in addition."

ON PILGRIMAGE TO BUDAPEST. Father Martindale on the Coming Congress. Father C. C. Martindale, ST, speaking at the Millicent Fawcett Hall, Westminster, England. at a recent showing of a film of the Eucharistic Congress at Manila, pointed to the great change which the Congress had worked in the attitude of the Filipinos towards religion generally, and the Blessed Sacrament in particular. "Fifty-two nations, large and small, "were represented at that sights and Congress, and the sounds connected with it were astounding. But more astounding still is the change which has been wrought by the Congress on the Filipinos themselves. They have jumped from being a rather dethe to pressed .s,t of islands status of a Catholic nation strongly charged with a sense of the dignity and reality of the Faith." A t the conclusion. Father Martinckile recommended all who could do so, to take part in the Congress in Hungary next year. . 41.#4•414.4.41 ,04.0.41.41.0.••••••••••••####Me.######

SAY: I SAW YOUR AD.

The soft, warm air of the golden autumnal day slipped gently in the open window, lifting the little curls lying on Ursula's brown neck. Ursula was sitting on the deep window-seat, het dark eyes watching the shifting of the fallen leaves as the breeze caught them. Peter Paul's voice brought her back to reality. "I," said Peter Paul, decidedly, "I shall make Our Blessed Lord a wooden sheep for His Crib this Christmas. Father says my carving is quite good, and I shall take most tremendous care with my lamb. It'll he the best lamb ever carved!" The boy's shrill voice was raised triumphantly. His sister Ursula regarded him soberly. "I can't carve," she said slowly, "but Mother says the Little Lord Jesus will think of it as a present to Himself, if I make poor Jenny More's dolly a woollen suit for Christmas. Mother says Jenny won't have any presents, and she just loves that doll of hers. Now I'm learning to knit, I'm going to start right away." Peter Paul nodded his head. "That's all right." he said, "but I don't know what Baby John's going to do, do you He's too small to do anything much." Ursula jumped up with a laugh. "Oh, no," she said. "Baby John's only small, but he's got ideas, too. He's busy saving up farthings and when Christmas comes he's going to send them to one of the missionary societies, to help towards the salvation of black babies. And that will be his Christmas present to Our Lord. Come along, Peter Paul, and get your...wood ready. I'm going to fetch my wool, and start that woolly suit right away." Ursula caught her brother's hand, and the two children went dancing out of the room. * * Bill, the Canary, sat on his topmost perch, thinking hard "Hallo, Bill," called his friend, Roy the Robin, as he flew to the window-sill for the crumbs he knew he would find there. "Something on your mind?" The Canary looked pained. "I'm thinking," he explained, gravely. "Do you know the children here are ag.-platining to give presents 'fo Our Lord this Christmas, instead of only thinking what they themselves are going to get? Now, that's an idea. . I always get a piece of apple on Christmas Day, and my favourite seed, but I've never thought of giving something myself. Do you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to practise hard at my singing, and when Christmas Day comes, I shall sing the Little Lord Jesus a special song of praise, and it will be so full of love that it will make everyone praise God too, when they hear it." But the Robin did not look impressed. "How slowly canarBest Quality Paints at cheapest posHassell's Ring B6307, sible prices. Stores, 669 Wellington St., Perth.

ies think," he remarked, though not unkindly. "Why, every year we robins spend the autumn months in growing extra-beautiful red breasts, so that people will feel happy when they see us at Christmas, and think of the good God Who makes such lovely things. You've no idea what care we take with it, and how carefully we preen ourselves." "It may not sound a great deal." went on the Robin, humbly, "but it's the best we can do, and it is done with a lot of love behind it." * * A shaft of golden light mounted to the gates of Heaven from • the earth below. Soon the whole air was filled with the lovely radiance. "What beautiful thoughts the children on earth must be thinking to-day," said one tittle angel to another. "Yes, indeed," came the answer. "Have you not heard? All the children are preparing Christmas presents for Our Lord God this year, and the whole world is full of praise and love.

PERTH, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 25, 1937.

Public Morality It was an unpleasant shock to read in the press during the week that the matter of morality had been the subject of debate in the Legislative Assembly following the second reading of the Betting Control Act. No less a person than a Cabinet Minister made the extremely foolish and completely false observation "that it had been said many years ago- by a very wise man that nothing was immoral that did not wilfully injure ally fellow-being." And again, "the interpretation of morals must be very wide in its application." The extent of corruption in public life, and especially in political life, makes such a discussion in such a quarter anomalous and indeed a mockery. Just as the term "Jesuit" passed unjustly into the language to signify "trickster," so surely shall the word "politics" go down to posterity, with admirable justice, to mean "bribery" and "graft." The plain man can only meet such a situation with the words in which the late G. K. Chesterton addressed the Earl of Birkenhead: • "For your legal cause or civil You fight well, and get your fee, For your god or dream or devil You shall answer—not to me. Talk about the pews and steeples, And the cash that goes therewith, But the souls of Christian peoples— Chuck it, Smith !" • • • • Anyhow, no one expected the politicians to be able to make a clear-cut distinction between ethics and morals, but it is disheartening to find vestiges of the depraved old Victorian philosophy which tried to separate morality from religion. Catholic teaching insists that history shows a recurrence of the common features of ordinary morality. Though there is, and has been, a wide divergence about theories of ethics, there is still a fundamental agreement among men about the general line of conduct desirable, at least in public life. This is a truth which would be very strongly impressed upon politicians if the things the plain man knows about them could be proved. There is, broadly, uniformity in principle where there may be diversity in application. In the matter of the Fourth Commandment, for instance, some primitive peoples consider that filial piety inculcates murder of aged parents. Yet allowing for all practical discrepancies, it is still true that the common voice of the race proclaims it fit and proper for a man to reverence his parents. And so in the case of each Commandment. • • So, we have an objective moral law to whose principles everyone subscribes in theory. The knowledge of this law is attained to by reason. But the law has its ultimate obligation in the will of the Creator. Because, since morality is simply a right ordering of our free actions with a view to perfecting our rational natures, there must be a vital connection between it and religion. For God fashioned our nature and imposed its right ordering upon us as a duty. Without religion, moreover, morality would lack sufficient sanction. With religion it has the ultimate sanction of the loss of God which its violation must entail. While, then, it is true that man can, and does, attain to a knowledge of morality through reason alone, it is equally certain that the merely natural powers of man will fail him in regard to some of his most essential duties. Further, he will lack the strong motives for obedience to the law which the love and fear of God provide. If personal dignity and the good of society are to be the sole sanctions which morality can invoke, it can be argued that these are not strictly obligatory. But where the notion of obligation is lacking, action falls short of an element essential to true morality. Finally, there will be no understanding of moral principles or practices without a goodly allowance for the fact of Original Sin. And it is precisely here that the Naturalists of all schools (and the philosophers of the political school "avec la plus grande distinction") fall down. Man's very quest for the moral law is ham-strung because of a certain obscurity in the vision of his reason, attributable only to the fact of the Fall. And even when he arrives at some partial and imperfect knowledge of it, his acceptance and practice is thwarted because some morbid craving for independence and his very feeble control of his passion cause him to transAgain the inescapable notion of a Fallen Nature gress it. Hence, man's unaided powers cannot cope with the moral law. If man is to observe the moral law for any length of time, he needs And that is not quite Divine help, which Catholics call Grace. the same thing as the modern substitutes such as fear of the police, public opinion, or the adages of "wise old men."

His Grace the Archbishop, who c onducted canonical visitation and administered the Sacrament of Confirmation at Kondinin on Sunday, returned to Perth on W ednesday afternoon.

Organisation—John L. Lewis' labour organisation. In the same article he said that President Roosevelt had shown "personal stupidity" in appointing Senator Black to the Supreme Court.

when His Grace directed it to do so, he received a reply that "Social Jubstice" "is not and never has been a Catholic publication," and that the Social Justice Publishing Co. "will continue to edit • and publish 'Social Justice' without supervision by anyone except its own officers." Corrections Were Just. This last remark was a rejoinder to the Archbishop's contention that in calling for the publication of his statement, he was acting "in accordance with Papal instruction regarding the supervision which an Ordinary must exercise over publications edited by Catholics within his diocese." Archbishop Cicognani now declares that "the Holy See regards as just and timely the corrections which the Archbishop of Detroit made with reference to the remarks which Father Coughlin published on October 5. "Each Bishop has not only the right but the duty to supervise Catholic teaching in his diocese."

Rome to study for the Priesthood, and during that period at Propaganda was in charge of the students' choir. He had once the singular honour of playing the violin before the Holy Father. A fter his ordination, Father Lynch went to France, where for six months he studied at the famous Monastery of Solesmes. Later he followed a course at the Pontifical College of Music in Rome, studying polyphonic music under the celebrated conductor of the St. John Lateran Choir, Professor Casamiri. Both in Italy and France, Father Lynch had the opportunity of studying- Madame Justin Ward's method of training children in singing. and is thus admirably qualified to carry out the Archbishop's programme with regard to liturgical music in the schools.

The ladies' branch of the Chesterton Club held its final meeting and study circle for the year on Monday, December 20. '1 his branch of the Club, which was formed to April 21, 1937—when Miss Curran was elected president— has gone steadily on and has been progressive both in attendance and study. Papers have been read weekly which brought forth interesting discussion from each enthusiastic member, and it was not at all surprising to find them on Monday night discussing a 1938 programme and arranging for a paper on the "Blessed Trinity" to be prepared for reading by Miss B. Callanan for January 11, A large attendance is ex expected on that evening ( January 11), and now may we greet all Chestertonians and intending ones by wishing all a happy and holy Christmas.

Convent Concert. All roads led to St. Joseph's Hall on Thursday night, December 16, when the pupils of the Convent of Mercy held their annual concert. Long before eight o'clock the hall was filled to o verflowing, and there were no dissatisfied patrons at the end of the concert. The highlight of the evening was a three-act play, "Princess Ju Ju." This had an Oriental setting, and the scenery and costumes were up to professional standard. Special lighting e ffects were used with good effect. The singing, both of the chorus and soloists was of a very high order and showed that the producers had taken great care with their preparations. The cast was an exceptionally large one, and it would be impossible to select any one member individually. The senior girls obliged with a Brass Rod Drill, and with a two-part song, "Water Lilies," which was sung with great effect; later they sang and danced in 'Rendezvous," which was tastefulTv presented in period costume. The senior boys gave a wonderful display of pyramids, and the timing and precision of their movements was excellent. Two excellent numbers were given by the junior girls, "Animal Crackers" and a Military Tap Dance. The junior pupils were seen in "Toy Shop," an action song that went over with great success, whilst the infants gave a class recitation, which was also well received. A solo and chorus by Master T. McDowell and the senior boys, "Drum Major." was given a large ovation. Master T. McDowell also appeared in two humorous sketches, "Legal Anecdote" and "Ahm No Parteeclar:" he was ably assisted by Master S. Ruck, who gives promise of being a good comedian. The Convent pupils' orchestra was heard to advantage in "Follie Bergere" ( Percy Fletcher). A trio, "Allegro Fermate" (Sterndale Bennett). played by Misses J. Wells (piano). D. Murnane. A.Mus.A. (violin). and Allan Sadler ('cello) was outstandingly successful. Also a ouintette: Misses b. Murnane, J. Crute, D. Larsen. N. Stone and Allan Sadler. was well received. A violin solo, "Liebesfreud" (Fritz Kreisler), played by Miss D. Murnane. A.Mus A.. was charmingly rendered. The opening number, a song scena. "Holiday in Holland." had put the audience in good humour, and this was maintained throughout the whole three hours' entertainment. Last but not least was a little member of the cornnani: who could hardly look over the footlights. but in a clear strong voice gave a comic recitation, "Forgone Conclusion."

Sodalities. Last Sunday the Children of Mary held their monthly Communion, and t here was a good attendance both at the Communion and meeting. To-morrow (Sunday) will be the monthly Communion for the juvenile branch of the Sacred Heart Sodality at the 8,30 a.m. Mass. Next Sunday the Sacred Heart Sodality will hold their monthly Communion at the 7 o'clock Mass, and the meeting in the evening at 7.30 p.m. Personal, Our very deepest sympathy is extended to Mrs. Courtland and family, who have had the misforiune to lose two of her sisters within a week of R.I.P. Mr. Courtland, each other. senr., although an inmate of St. John of God's Hospital, Belmont, still comes to St. Anne's Church, Belmont, for Mass on Sundays.

Mrs, Brophy and family are going to Rockingham for their Xmas holidays. Our generous friend, Mr. Wood, has added to his long list of valuable donations to this church, with a lovely holy water font, which will stand just inside the front entrance to the church.

The Wednesday night dance will be arried on as usual for the younger set. le extend our sincere thanks and app ciation to Miss Rita Mitchell for her kindness in supplying the music every week for this dance. The Convent held their annual Xmas Tree last week-end, and it proved an outstanding success. Father Xmas had a very busy time. Belmont also held their Xmas Tree in St. Anne's School last Friday night, which was also a great success. We extend our Xmas greetings. to all and wish them a very happy and holy Christmas.

Donnybrook Convent School Concert. The Sisters at Donnybrook excelled themselves on Friday, December 17, when they presented their pupils in a grand concert. It was a gala night for the good citizens of Donnybrook, and the hall was filled to capacity. The programme opened with a Percussion Band, composed of the boys and girls, and it set the evening going in fine style. Then followed in quick succession solos, dances, songs, and recitations. Nearly every item was encored, until Sister had to appeal to the audience that the concert would have to end that night. It would be hard indeed to say which item was the best, as all strived to do their best, and if the applause of the audience was any guide, they succeeded. Fine duet work was done by Misses Brockway and McCormac, and a piano duet by Misses Roden and George was admirably presented. A violin solo by Master J. Murphy brought prolonged demands for an encore, which was accorded. The girls gave a fine display of Rod Drill, which was well received, and also a two-part song. There was a Sailor's Hornpipe and fancy dancing in fact every taste was well catered for. A playette. "Mechanical Jane," was well played by Misses Brockway, Wells and Anderson: and an excellent l it of clowning by Masters K. DonoJ. Kidd and D. Ferguson in the 'cupid Servant" brought the house cbwn. Miss A. Roden gave a fine '''Nridition of "Palms" on the piano. A n4nber of artists from Bunbury assisted with the closing items. Huge Savings in Paints, Coppers, B aths, etc. Ring B6307.

A CHRISTMAS GREETING. The peace of heaven be in your heart Upon this holy morn, When ages gone in Bethlehem The Son of God was born. When He, the Lord of Loveliness, With Mary's hair and eyes, Came hiding all His Kingliness In mute and poor disguise. The spirit of the Yule-tide Be in your soul and mind, And lead you to His manger Till for yourself you find The answer to your doubtings Upon a Baby's face, And calm to all your restlessness Within that holy place. The joy of God be with you Along the future road, The warm Heart of the Christ-Child Has balm for Sorrow's load, His tiny hands are powerful To guide you and to bless, So Christmas Day and every day May you feel their caress. --AUNT BESSY.

Tennis Max McDermott for Adelaide. The selectors of the W.A.L.T. Association have nominated two senior players, NV. F. Stephen and N. Wzisley, and four juniors, M. McDermott, R. Stephen, W. Cairns-Hill and A. Davey. N. Wasley left for Melbourne on the .23rd. inst. He will be one o f those to go into the coaching class of Pat O'Hara Wood, and will then come back to Adelaide It is very satisfactory to see that the Association is sticking to the policy of encouraging juniors. Max McDermott is captain of the Christian Brothers' College t eam, holders of the Slazenger Shield, and is the champion schoolboy-player of the State. Bromwich Defeats Budge. John Bromwich covered himself with glory by defeating American Don Budge, ranked world's' No. 1 player. The young Australian was in great form, and though Budge did not reveal the c onsistent excellence which he generally does, this should not detract from the merit of the win. Then there was ,another triumph for Australia, when Bromwich-Quist defeated Budge and :\lako in the Doubles. Our pair showed perfect understanding in team work, and Quist in his broadcast after the match said that he hoped they would be allowed to team up in future. It's good advice given in the form of a gentle request. There should now be no question as to Attstralia challenging for the next Davis Cup contest. With Adrian Quist and John Bromwich we should almost certainly defeat all but America, and it's no certainty America will beat us. The Germans. Von Cramm and Henkel opened their tour at Brisbane with results that, though not outstandingly- successful, were quite satisfactory. It would be wrong to expect them to strike their best form right away. They will do b etter as the tour progresses, and the proposed match between Von Gramm and Donald Budge s hould be a classic. In the light of recent events— how about John Bromwich playing the winner?

A Promising Colt. Some weeks back I referred to the excellence of the batting of Keith Jeffreys, who has proved himself the best young batsman in the game at present.

Boxing

A Delightful Entertainment

Title-Fight in Australia. T ommy Burns never wanted to meet Jack Johnson—in a boxing r ing, and history proved him a good judge. The Negro followed him round the world, but there Still Jack was nothing doing. Johnson persisted, and at last Burns, first of the prize fighters, was stung into a definite announcement. He declared that he was ready and willing to meet Johnson, but named a price for his services (f6,000), which he confidently expected would be prohibitive. He did not bargain with Hugh McIntosh, at present of London town.

OF EXCEPTIONAL MERIT.

Scribes the world over dubbed urns a "grabber"—the "Shylock B of the Ring," etc., etc. McIntosh said he would meet his demand, sent him £1,500 and travelling expenses — Tommy's bluff was called. The tight took place at Rushcutter's Bay, Sydney, on Boxing Day, 1908, and Jack Johnson cut Burns to ribbons. C ycling The world's greatest cyclist?

Parents, ex-students, relatives and other well-wishers filled the reception hall and overflowed on to the verandahs, at St. Brigid's Ladies' College, Lesmurdie, on Sunday afternoon last, the annual musical entertainment being the attraction, And what an attraction!

DOMINICAN LADIES' COLLEGE,

Then followed rapidly the Senior Choir in "Mill Wheel" and "Daffodil Days," very well rendered, particularly in the latter; a sweet little recitation, "Brownie," by Nancy Price; a pretty scarf drill by the juniors; a surprising good recitation by the little tots, and then th.ree folk song gems, "The Minstrel Boy," "Annie Laurie" (a. superb effort), and "Early One Morning." by the senior choir. Little Beryl Cain recited "Mother Says," and she said it well, followed by club swinging at its best and most graceful, for which the senior team were enthusiastically applauded. Then followed a violin solo, artistically rendered by Mollie Fitzgerald, The Intermediate Dancing Class surprised with a graceful dance, "Dutch Ballet," and already a seal was set on the merit of the programme. Then followed a sweet rendering of the solo "June," by Betty Loane. Again the seniors were heard to advantage in two verse-speaking items. Now prime favourites, the gifted orchestra ushered in the second part of this delightful programme. while a like high standard was well maintained in two chorus items. .1nd then came the little tots, in two fairy poems, rivals to the fairies they so sweetly described in verse, followed by a first class vocal duet, "The Dream Seller," by four of the seniors, B. Loane, j. Stone ,F. McAdam and A. Maynard—another gem. A spectacular number was the Rod Drill, by an intermediate team, with plenty of pep, and then was welcomed back the Junior Choir, to render three charming chorus items—how they put their little hearts into it! S trikingly versatile, the seniors returned in a Spanish Dance, with grace and beauty personified, and then Tosi Fraenkel with her violin thrilled the large audience, The finale was reserved for one of the most appreciated items, "Visitors from Many Lands," the juniors and a few others combining perfectly in wearing the national costumes of various countries. The school anthem, "Salve Mater," followed by the National Anthem, brought to a happy conclusion a veritable musical and vocal treat, richly s tudded with delightful surprises. The man who wasn't quite equal to the task of distinguishing officers' rank by their insignia was conversing with a colonel. Several times he called him "Captain," then, as if not sure, he asked: "You are a captain, aren't you "Well," said the colonel, slightly amused, "I'm not any more, although I was once." "That's too bad," consoled the civilian. "Drink, 1 suppose"

THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK. Sunday: God gives each one of us sufficient grace ever to know His holy will and to do it fully.— St. Ignatius. Monday: The secret of happiness is to think as little as possible about yourself and as much as possible about others. Tuesday: We are inclined to agree that, on the whole, men The worry less than women. whole art of life is to avoid worry over unrealities and artificialities. Wednesday : The happy people are those who make others happy. The sun still shines, the birds still sing, and there is a way out of the most intricate difficulties if one has patience and grit. Thursday: Remember what happened in Our Lord's parable to the rich man clothed in purple who was damned, not for taking the property of others but for refusing to help a poor beggar.—St. A ugustine. Friday: Let us lose our heart in the charity of the Heart of Jesus, and say always with our whole heart: "May I die and may Jesus live!" Our death will be blessed if it be made in His life.— In fear and awe the shepherds hear St. Francis de Sales. A sweet celestial voice: Saturday: All men naturally An angel of the Lord is near Who tells them gently, "Do not fear, desire knowledge; but what proBe merry and rejoice, fit is there in knowledge without fear of God?

The only sounds are sounds of night, No more than whispers dim: And save the moon that's full and brigbt, In Bethlehem there shines no light Above the hilltop's rim. And as the hour of midnight nears Deep silence falls around. The world is hushed, as if it hears Afar among the moving spheres, Some long awaited sound. And at the midnight hour. I ween, Because, a Child is born. Outside of Bethlehem is seen A glow that later might have been The rosy flush of morn. But dawn was never yet so fair As that entrancing light; Its secrets soon the shepherds share, For songs of angels in the air Make music through' the night.

And for your sake a sign is made. To know this wondrous Child: In swaddling clothes you'll find Him laid Within a manger where have fed The sheep and oxen mild." With this the angel passes by; But all around them then, The dulcet voices in the sky Sing "Glory be to God on high, And peace on earth .to men." —Kenneth Eaton.

GENERAL TELLS SPAIN SHE HAS SUFFERED BY NOT PRAYING. Segovia has named General Varela. "son of the city," and the Confraternity of Our Lady of the Fuencisla has made him honorary Brother. He has been one of the leading commanders in the Nationalist Army beseiging Madrid. In the Cathedral after Mass, General Varela ascended the steps of the high altar to receive at the hands of the Bishop of Segovia the medal of the confraternity. The Cathedral was packed. ' Typical of General Varela's speech was his mention that he always prays and especially when his troops are engaged in battle. He declared that Spain in the past few years had suffered sadly from the fault of not praying.

A LITURGICAL CATECHISM O. How and by whom are the chalice and paten consecrated ? A. The chalice and paten are consecrated with the oil of chrisi by the bishop. Q. Does the consecration give them a special character? A. By the consecration they are withdrawn from profane use and ; are specially dedicated to the service of the Almighty. Q. What follows from the special dedication? A. It follows that they can be touched or handled only by clerics or those who are authorised to do so. and it would be a sin for the laity to touch them without necessity. O. What do the chalice and paten symbolise? A. According to the Pontifical they symbolise the tomb of Our Lord in the dark readles of which He rested after the toilsome labours of the Redemption.

His Grace Archbishop Philip Bernardini, S.T.D., J.U.D., comes to the Congregation of Extraordinary Ecclesiastical Affairs after brilliant achievements as a scholar and administator, and with wide and varied experience in many parts of the world. Born at Ussita, in the north of Italy, His Grace is in his middle forties, and one of the youngest prelates to occupy the responsible position of Under -Secretary of State. Archbishop Bernardini is a nephew of the late Cardinal Gasparri, who played so important a part in the settlement of the "Roman Ouestion," and, after a brilliant course of studies, was associated with his uncle as his secretary in drawing up the new Code He is also a of Canon Law. cousin of the present Cardinal Henry Gasparri, one of the six Cardinal-Bishops. After the publication of the new Code, Dr. Bernardini was appointed to the Catholic University of America. Washinton. where he occupied the Chair of CHURCH BAZAARS. The Right Rev. Mgr. Canon Jackman's views on bazaars are refreshing: "A Fancy Fair is an institution in which people cheerto be fully allow themselves cheated for charity, and what they love most about the process is its utter brazenness. Excepting the stage, it is the only case known in human experience in which the most bare-faced impudence is hailed as an accomplishment by the victims themselves. Personally, I think that this mode of doing charity is one of the depraved results of this sensationIn view o'f loving cinema age. the above, you will be delighted to hear that we are organising an A ustralian fete or bazaar in this parish of Holy Rood, Watford; and it is precisely because I have not the remotest claim on your charity and your contribution in kind, and otherwise. thatT am appealing to it."

During his two years in Australia, Dr. Bernardini prepared the way for the Fourth Plenary Council of the Australian Hierarchy, held this year, and drew up the first draft of the agenda. Archbishop Bernardini left for Rome in May, 1935, expecting to return to Australia. but, owing to the existing situation abroad, was appointed Papal Nuncio to Berne, Switzerland, following the

resignation of the previous Nuncio. The success of his administration in Switzerland—the seat of the League of Nations—was not only of a national, but of an international character.
