Catholic Journalists Dare Not Write From Germany p

ERSECUTION in Germany moves on relentlessly, but the news about it is becoming harder to get. Correspondents stationed in the country no longer dare to write the full truth, while few Germans who go abroad are in a position to gather together the news and inform foreign papers of the full facts. The following information has been carried personally to the London "Catholic Herald" by an active Catholic worker in Germany, sent abroad with a strong recommendation from Catholic authorities in the country. It contains the first publicly printed circulation figures of all the leading Nazi papers and magazines directly engaged in propagating anti-Christian teaching. Some papers circulate out of all proportion to similar papers in other countries, the largest being Herr Hitler's official news-organ with a circulation of 14,000,000. seven times as much as any (lady paper throughout all England.

The sweet little girl had brought her teacher a real arum lily as a present, and the teacher was so delighted that she set it up in a vase before the class and proceeded to give a most line-. esting talk on flowers. It was much better than work, the class decided, and the little girl became a heroine. She liked this so much that, after school, she went up to teacher and said, shyly: "Would you like another lily, miss?" On hearing that' teacher would, indeed, she said: "Oh, well. I'll bring another in the morning, if they haven't buried the lodger."

"On the Sunday following, a reporter for the 'New York Herald' interviewed the priest, and Father Harney stated that his remarks were correct; that they expressed his personal convictions ; and that they were in accord with those of the Roman Catholic Church." Father Harney's remarks may have been correctly reported, but they were certainly too brief to give any adequate treatment of the subject. They may have expressed his personal convictions, but I am quite sure the meaning they would convey to others was not the meaning he himself had in mind. I deny that his statement as it stands is in accord with the teachings of the Catholic Church. The idea of inflicting grave physical punishment, let alone death, on heretics and apostates, is absolutely alien to The Catholic Encyher spirit. clopaedia rightly says, in its article on "Toleration," that the "idea of the execution of heretics has not the slightest connection with the essence of the Church or her constitution." The great bulk of theologians of every age deny to the Church the power of the sword; and the Catholic Catechism insists upon the duty of Catholics to love their neighbours without exception, even those who differ from them in religion. Now I hope things are clearer to you. If not, and further difficulties come to your mind, send them in, and I will discuss them in due course. But all my replies will insist on three basic propositions which I will maintain until my dying day. Pirstly, that bigotry, whether in an individual Catholic or an individual Protestant, is an abomination. Secondly, that any kind of persecution for religious beliefs sincerely held, no matter what those beliefs may be, is most reprehensible. Only when they lead to external conduct which is injurious to others and disturbing to the public peace, may the State authorities step in, and at least prohil* such conduct. Thirdly, if we believe that people who differ from us are in error, we may compassionate them, but never is hatred of them justified; and we are obliged always to treat them with the utmost charity.

ROPPED up in bed, and with some difficulty; the Holy Father broadcast to the world on Christmas Eve, 1936, a message which many thought would be his last. "Alas! more than ever the world is the prey of subversive propaganda. . . ." Early in the address the voice of the Supreme Pontiff showed signs of emotion and laboured breathing, but gradually it increased in s trength. It was as if his intrepid courage had forced him to the The Pope's message of ordeal. Christmas, 1936, was a new warning, graver and more threatening, perhaps, than ever for the whole - world, but chiefly for Europe and The her Christian civilisation. Holy Father was referring to C ommunism—its fierce efforts to engulf Spain, and from there to spread to other countries of Europe—Portugal, France, Belgium, The and so the entire world. year 1937 already stands out in retrospect as showinc, even more clearly than did 1936 the wisdom and prescience of Pius XI. It shows more than ever how powerful propaganda is—how subtle and insidious—how it can play upon men's fine feelings—their love of truth and justice—as Nvell as upon their ignoble passions The radio and the Press can be made treacherous media of official utterance. If at the commencement of 1937, a census of opinion on the Spanish Civil "War—more correctly, the war which Spain is International fighting against Atheistic Communism — were taken, it would probably reveal a surprising number, if not the majority, in the Empire, in favour of what is euphemistically called the "Valencia" (now "Barcelona") Government, as against England— Franco. General which supplies all of the news items sent over here—is literally riddled with subversive propaganda. For that reason England's neutrality policy was carried out in a farcical manner— for just as non-intervention France has all along meant that the Pyrenees frontier was wide open for the uninterrupted passage of men (openly recruited in France). arms and munitions for Red Spain. Hence, the recent threats of the French Government to open the frontier were m eaningless. No one can doubt the sincerity of the British Government itself in the matter of neutrality in Spain. Quite recently, in the House of Commons, the British Foreign Secretary, Anthony Eden, admitted that it was Britain's "non-intervention policy," far more than Basque or Asturian resistance before Bilbao. Santander and Gijon, which prolonged the war in Northern Spain. He did not state, however, that that policy was carried out, in the manner it was, in deference to pressure from Left Wing elements. Actually, the populace in all these places enthusiastically greeted Franco's f orces, after weary months of Red tyranny.

Two years ago, it will be remembered, the new Italy was the chief victim of the propaganda machine. A flood of hatred was let loose against that country, even and against Mussolini, against the Holy Father and the

This is a digression from 1937, but it is important to remember that if the new Italy had been "strangled" (to use the phrase of the Jew-Freemason Blum) in 1935, or if Anthony Eden's "Sanctions" had been applied successfully, the story of 1937 would be far different. and it is almost certain that it would have witnessed, not only Spain, but the whole of Europe, under The the Red heel of Moscow. failure of the campaign against Italy, two years ago, was, therefore, a severe, and maybe decisive. blow to the whole Communist strategy.

SIX worth, the joke being, of course, that Soviet Russia was to count as one of the "democracies." On the face of things, the BaldwinEden politicians were committing Britain to a French Alliance, with the Franco-Sovietic pact in the background, to counteract "the dictatorships." It was only a "stone's throw"—or maybe less—for the thing called "Solidarity" to develop into the more business-like thing called "Joint had Action." When things reached that stage—one need only recall the critical days of Franco's blockade of the northern Spanish ports, Bilbao, etc., or the "scare" about the Balearics— fortunately, Austin Chamberlain stepped into the shoes of Stanley Baldwin as Prime Minister of Engand. Since then he has done much to restore British prestige. Like the realist that he is, he recognises that British foreign policy is inseparably linked up with t wo very important matters, namely, that the Germans and the Italians stand firmly behind their own forms of government. which is, after all, their own affair, and, secondly, that Germany and Italy, far from being outlaws, must be treated as equals in Whilst the comity of nations.

At no time during the year has Russia left us for very long without news of a violent sort. In January, a "mass trial" of leading Bolsheviks was staged in Moscow.

All of which goes to show what an utter farce the recent "elections" of the "democratic" Soviet Union were. One must admire the courage of the one million "electors" who demonstrated their disapproval by the simple expedient of striking out the name of the candidate— there was no opposition—on their b allot papers. Affairs in Europe—during recent months at least—have been v crsnacto wed by unrest in _ the East, where the Japanese invasion of China, in two theatres of war, has stirred up all Asia and the 'Western Powers also. The nine-Power Conference was held at Brussels for the purpose, presumably, of a sort of a general s tocktaking by the Powers interested in China. It ended in a fiasco, and those who expected "joint action" by Britain and A merica were disappointed. The only emphatic thing about the Brussels affair was the refusal of the Japanese to meet their cosignatories in conference. Eviuently the Japanese considered that the business of being put in the dock—as they have been for the past six years—by people with no claim to act as their judges, was something to which they could not acquiesce. There are people who have taken up the cause of China in the same style as they took up the causes of Red :vain and Abyssinia, and are hoping for some kind of violent intervention. American intervention seems unlikely. The British Navy has its hands full nearer home. Intervention, however, mignt be a possibility if Kussia's Red Army could be .ounted on as a decisive military factor. In spite of all the talk of propagandists about its efficiency—we don't doubt its size— it is not even as reliable to-day as t he Tsar's armies of 1914, and they were not much use after Tannenberg. It is weak—as Japan knew very well when it struck in China, and its weakness is as much a threat to universal peace as its policy of world revolution. The administrative paralysis of Russia must have gone very deep indeed when it failed to respond to Japan's vballon d' essai" on the Amar not long ago. The two truths that seem to stand out clearly as the year 1937 closes down on the Asiatic scene are firstly, that the only force likely to have the will and the power to resist Japanese Imperialism is China itself—a fact which is amply borne out by history; and, secondly, that things can never again be the same in China for the European and American capitalist, and, therefore, any future exertions which .the Western Governments are likely to make in China, must be

He has had an amazing variety of experience in the Papal Diplomatic Service; years in China, in Japan, in India, in Portugal, and, before he came to Spain, in Albania. He speaks a dozen languages.

Ingrediente Domino. A large congregation crowded the Church of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel for the Midnight Mass, in preparation for which the threshold of the confessional had been well worn during Christmas Eve. The Mass was proceeded by a picturesque little drama—the bringing of the BatiThino to the Crib. As the clock struck midnight and the seven bells in the tower ceased their chiming, the organ pealed out the carol, "See Amid the Winter Snow." A pro. cession of children entered from the transept and wended its way down the church. First a bevy of "Holy Angels," tiny girls in red cloaks and white veils, carrying lighted candles; then altar boys in surplices carrying the incense and processional lanterns. A bigger boy carried a Christmas tree (nine feet in height), decorated with sparkling gilt and silvered ornaments; also little silver bells and coloured candles hung amidst the branches, a silver star on the tree's extreme summit. Then came three boys dressed as the Shepherds in true oriental costumes, with bright coloured turbans on their heads and carrying their shepherd's crooks. Bringing up the rear of the procession walked Our Lady and St. Joseph; the latter in a blue tunic and cloak and a green turban, carrying white flowering lilies on his staff. The Blessed Virgin, in a long veil and white d ress and sandals, carried the Sacred Infant in her arms. The Bambino was an antique Spanish one, carved in wood, and came from Granada, the famous city of the Alhambra The third verse of the carol, "Say Ye Holy Shepherds. Say," was sung as a tenor solo from the organ loft, and then the three shepherds, from the steps at the altar rails, sang the following verse in response. "As we w atch'd at dead of night" The nrn. c ession moved on thence to the Crib, where St. Toseph threw onen the doors and Our Lady deposited the Infant in the straw-filled manger surrounded by mistening white snow.

On Monday morning, the Archbishop celebrated Mass at Narambeen at 8,30; on T uesday morning at Karlgarin at the same time, and at Corrigin at the same time on Wednesday morning. At each of the various districts the Catholics attended in nearly full numbers. The visitation was highly successful, and should prove of great assistance and encouragement to the new parish. During the month of January there will be a Religious School at Narrogin for those children who have not yet had any opportunity to attend such an institution. Most of the children have been well cared for in this matter, but there are some who have not been so f ortunate.

Pamphlet News The Catholic Claim for Justice, which was brought to the ears of our fellowAustralians by the recent excellent ser:es of radio dialogue, roused opposition to the claim and brought to the surface every argument that could be thought to do damage to the Catholic In its December issue of plea. pamphlets the Australian Catholic Truth Society features an able marshalling of the facts and arguments in a brightly published booklet, "Catholics Ask for Justice," by Rev. Dr. Rumble, M.S.C. It contains the main objections against the claim of Catholic citizens for educational justice. and they are dealt with in Dr. Rumble's well-known way. There are hardly any further difficulties wh:ch could not be reduced to one or other of the points treated of in this useful work. • The missionary labours of the Franciscans in China, Japan, the Philippines, and in Austral:a and New Zealand are reviewed in Fr. Fidelis Griffin's pamphlet on "The Franciscan Missions in the Far East." All the world loves St. Francis, even if it ignores what mattered most to him; but for any who would learn his essential spirit and the aims which actuated him , there is a wealth of information to be gathered from the activities if his followers living to-day in the spirit of his rule. Catholic Australia, in many ways, owes a debt to the Franciscans, ; as the little pamphlet shows. • To spread devotion to Our Lady of t Mount Carmel and to treat of the Brown Scapular. Dr. P. J. Gearon, 0.C.C., deals w .th it from the devotional angle. Every Catholic knows of the Brown Scapular. but every Catholic, we are sure, will be pleased to learn more about it—of its connection with Our Lady of Mount Carmel, of the history and tradition of the Carmelite.. Order, of its coming from the East to a little town in Kent. of St. Simon • Stock, and the rise and popularity of the devotion to the Scapular.

Clontarf Boys' Outinf. On Tuesday, December 28, one hundred boys from Clontarf participated', in the boat trip to Garden Island in the s.s. "Emerald," under the auspices of the 69th. Rover Scout Crew, Mr. roe Jackson and the matron's staff accompanied the boys. Leaving Barrack-street Jetty at 8 a.m., the party had a nice trip in ideal summer weather, and arrived back at the jetty at 6.30 p.m. All agree that it was a wonderful day of healthy enjoyment. It was a rare experience for most of the youngsters and the novelty of the boat trip appealed greatly to them. On the . island romping, swimming and beach games were heartily indulged in, and ; matron's well-packed hampers were not forgotten! On behalf of the boys, Mr, J. Jackson thanked the Chief Scout, Mr. H. W. Howe, who organised the trip and provided the boys with the splendid and memorable holiday.

On the Saturday and Sunday nearly 150 people approached the altar rails. This is a fine omen for the future, and it is to be hoped that those who failed to fulfil their obligations at Christmas time will do so as soon as possible.

In Touch with the Master Mind A S I sink down into my comfortable armchair and my volume of Shakespeare, it occurs to me to ask myself if I am an unpractical dreamer. Have we lovers of Shakespeare any right, in these days - of mighty problems to be complacently whiling away many an hour in the company of even the greatest master of literature? While we are placidly absorbed, there pass to and fro over our roof the screaming shells of world controversialists. Are we not far too much concerned with such remote and imaginary problems as a King Lear's troubles with his daughters, a Hamlet's converse with his dead father, an Isabella's defence of her chastity? Are we not dully oblivious to that which is of our own day and really does concern our own lives— for example, all the talk and worry of the moment about Communism, Fascism, Socialism, and a thousand other "isms?"

Now we who settle down to our Shakespeare are somewhat dubious as to the value of much of this thunderous world-scale talk about world movements which generally go under the name of some "ism" or other. We are, in fact, quite convinced that we are right in talking and acting as if the men were of rather more importance than the movements, as if the men were rather more real than the "ism," as if the Communist, for instance, were much more convertible than Communism. The collective mind is, at best, a misty thing—often merely a phantasm. not nearly as real to us as is Macbeth or Hermione or Hamlet, or even the Ghost of Hamlet's .father. The collective mind, under whatever "ism" it goes, is not half so real as is the mind of any man you meet with. The weakest thing in the world is much of this thunderous talk about the movetlients in the world. There are no movements in the world of men which are not movements in the minds of men. This "little kingdom" which is the individual man is much more real and profound and affectible than any merely political kingdom or State or Republic. Anyone who wishes to change the w orld—and worthless he who does not---must begin and end by working to change the hearts .ot those with whom God brings him into contact. The genius 01 Christianity has ever been to aim at the individual human being. The method of Christianity has ever been the method of penetration—penetration to the individual human heart. That was the method of the founder of Christianity. Christ was sublimely indifferent to the "isms" of His own day—to Romanism, to Pharisaism. But he was supremely concerned with Romans and Pharisees—with the human souls about him, which were so often f ull of rottenness but which must be brought to love the Lord God above all things. The man of power is the man w ho can in any way influence the minds of men. It is in this way that the great masters of literature are men of power. Th-tf is why the most living men may - very often be dead men—men as dead as Shakespeare.

(By J. CASEY, S.J.) not a Catholic, but that all his children were, following his wife's faith. For several minutes he spoke very tenderly of his wife, who had been dead for many years, when suddenly he asked me, 'Do you believe that I shall ever see my wife again?" I explained to him the doctrine of the immortality of the soul, but, as I soon found, that was not his real trouble. Then I asked the reason of his doubt. He replied that a Catholic friend of his had told him that unless he was a Catholic there was no possibility of his going to heaven. Here was a sincere man, doing his best, reading his Bible and saying his prayers, going to his church sometimes, "though not every Sunday like you Catholics," and yet with no hope of being saved. Truly the doctrine of the Church would be a hard one if it really were as his Catholic friend had told him.

That was the impression my friend had of the Church. He was not responsible for being a non-Catholic; he did not believe that the Catholic Church is the true Church he felt no obligation to be a Catholic: and he lived as he thought a man should live who expected to be rewarded by God. Were we in his position. we too would probably consider the Church unjust if it taught that we had no hope of salvation. We must base our zeal on truth. Teaching of the Church. What, then, does the Church teach about the salvation of nonCatholics? Is there any salvation outside the Church? Is one obliged to join the Church if he wishes to be saved? The law of the Church is very clear. If a man realises that the Catholic Church is the true Church. he must join it, otherwise, he cannot be saved. If he says, "I am perfectly sure that the Catholic Church is the true Church, and that God obliges me to join it, but I am not going to belong to it," then he cannot be saved as a non-Catholic. But, remember, there are three conditions: (1) He must realise that the Catholic Church is the true Church; (2), he must know of the obligation to join it; and (3). (Of he must refuse to join it. course, we are leaving out the other conditions of salvation. namely. Baptism, at least of desire. and perfect contrition for one's sins.) A non-Catholic in good faith and acting in accordance with his conscience, even though he is in error, can get to heaven. The fact that a man is not a Catholic. supposing it is through no fault of his own, does not cut him off from the possi-

bility of salvation; God makes every allowance for his good f aith. But when God does make such allowances for the good faith of a non-Catholic, He does not thereby allow that the Protestant r eligions are as good as His Church. Such non-Catholics are saved, not by their false religion, but in spite of it. The only reason why they are saved outside the Church is that they have never realised their obligation of becoming Catholics. Once they are convinced of the claims of the Catholic Church it is necessary for them to become Catholics or be lost. Obligation of Non-Catholics. Another matter which naturally presents itself when we are dealing with the position of nonCatholics in their relation to the Church, is the obligation to investigate the Church's claims. W hen we say that a man can be saved if he is ignorant of his obligation to become a Catholic, w hat do we mean? We mean that he must not be r esponsible for that ignorance by deliberately neglecting to enquire w hen doubts arise about his position. If he thinks that the Catholic claims may be true, he is obliged to investigate those claims. If he fails to investigate them, he runs the risk of disobeying God, who has commissioned t he Church to teach his truth and to extercise authority in His name. God is always ready to make allowances for good faith, but it must be good. If a man sincerely does his best to find out what God wants and to do it, then God will not blame him for his error. But he must do his best. Non-Catholics should r emember that one day they will be judged by God. What would be their answer were God to question them on their failure to admit the authority of the Church? Will it be. "I did not believe that it was the true Church." or "I thought perhaps it was the true Church, but I (lid not bother to study its claims?" Obligation of Catholics. With such a weighty responsibility on the shoulders of our non-Catholic friends, we are bound to give them every assistance in our power to know the truth. We cannot give such assistance unless we know what that truth is which it is our duty to explain to them. Hence, we have the obligation of knowing our faith, just as we have the obligation of encouraging others in their search for the true faith. We know that the Catholic Church is the one true Church; that there is but one fold in which all can find security we know the beauty and holiness of the Catholic teaching, and how much safer it makes us in face of the dangers of the world. We know too that Our Lord instituted the Church for all, and that the eternity of all, both nonCatholic and Catholic, depends on this one life through which we are now passing. If God were to ask us in judgment what we have done to bring the knowledge of the Catholic faith to others, what is going to be our reply? Save 5s, a gallon on Paints.

Our Individual cJvlission W

HAT a happy world this would be if all men were as pleased with themselves at forty and over as they were at twenty and under. however, questionable, It is happiof world a such hether w ness would be a world of great achievements, for to a great extent the happiness might be akin to a state of blissful ignorance. Few people, if any, have reason to be really satisfied with themselves, though some always There is a vast difference are. between the contented man and the self-satisfied man—as great as the difference between charity An American and selfishness. philosopher and humorist—no o ther than our old friend, Josh Billings, of a generation back— observed that some people not only believed that the world revolved on its axis, but thought they were the axis. Like most of old Josh's shrewd observations, that seems true enough. Perhaps most of us at one time of our lives imagined ourselves to be somewhere about the centre of the universal movement, but I dare say there are few who fail to realise after a few years of hard experience that they are but spokes in the wheel. I should not think it an exaggeration to say that the majority of men when they reach the age of thirty years and upwards have the idea that they are, more or less, a misfit. They are following occupations which, possibly they are not finding congenial or suited to their nature and physical equipment, or in which early enthusiasms have been lost. When the theories of life are put up against the practice there generally comes some measure of disillusionment. Either an entire loss of enthusiasm, or at least a diminution of enthusiasm, follows the discover that pr3gress is slow and success hard to achieve, and makes one's job in life very prosaic. One of the mysteries of life lies in the fact that no matter how highly placed one might be, or how much wealth one might accumulate, and in spite of social position and prestige or high honours_ that might be showered upon one •fkom an apparently grateful country, the great law of compensation operates. Each individual, whether he be high, low or middle-placed, knowing his own limitations, conscious of his own restrictions, and acutely alive to his own special cross, makes life what it is intended to be—a great struggle against forces with which we mortals are not powerful enough to contend. It would be a great mistake, however, for any of us to assume, because there has been nothing spectacular in our lives, no achievement that has been pleasing to the multitude, no high qualification that has drawn the spotlight of public interest to our work, that our lives are, therefore, of little or no value. It might be thought by those of us--7-and we form the great majority —who are unknown outside our own immediate circle of f riends and acquaintances, that only those whose k nown internationally names are are playing an important part in life—that they only are the determinators

(By S. K.) A of the lives of multitudes. little reflection must assure us that this is far from the truth The great men of the world individually must exercise a powerful and wide influence upon the lives of millions, but obviously that influence is not the only force directing the lives of mankind. In all ages, in all parts of the world, moral forces, great and small, have been operating in Each individivers directions. dual, great or small, exercises ail influence, for good or evil, upon The greatest those about him. men—those who have towered above their fellows in the realms o f literature, art, warfare, politics, science and religion, have arisen from humble surroundings. The world never would have heard of Madam Letitia Buonaparte had not Napoleon lived to manhood, yet the great Emperor attributed his greatness to the influence exercised upon his early life by his mother, the wife of a Other great Corsican lawyer. men have acknowledged the profound influences exercised upon them by humble associates—brothers,_ sisters, school-fellows, work-mates. Most of us probably have reason to congratulate ourselves that we follow what is termed the common way ef life. Our existence is an act of the Creator, and it must have the most profoundly important results. Though we may find it difficult to assign a particular motive for our existence, nevertheless that motive exists, otherwise we would have to assume that God created a chaotic world. Each person of the two thousand millions has his or her own special mission, obscure though it may be. It is certain that if each one of us, in his own modest and unobtrusive way, does his very best towards the promotion of what is just, fair, equitable and uplifting, in w hatever circumstances he may find himself, he is fulfilling his true mission. We have now crossed the threshold of another year. In accord with long-standing custom the minds of men about this time are directed to the future, with a „resolve, more or less firm, to make it better than the past, as far as lies in mortal power. As we are to be judged on the use we make of our natural capacity and of the opportunities afforded us on our way through life, it behoves each one of us to reflect upon his past, and ascertain from a frank and honest examination of his mode of life to what extent he is fut. filling his own particular mission. Happy must he be who in faith and humility, yet with tireles-, and unquenchable zeal, gives the maximum expression of his real self towards the promotion of every good cause, but more particularly that which means the support and protection of those who suffer for conscience sake. The adage, " 'Tis nobler to give than to receive," applies not only to material goods. The poorest in worldly possessions have much to give their fellow -men. Every man and woman has service of some kind to offer, and everywhere are to be found fellow humans in need of service. The

Good Samaritan's simple act of kindness is a beacon light for us As far as we know from all. Holy Scripture the Good Samaritan was not a man of any great importance in the eyes of this world. He was an ordinary, hard-working decent fellow, out in the heat earning his living like the great majority of men. Possibly he thought himself a misfit in the community. But we know that he was an important man in the eyes of his Creator, and so was the man he helped. There is the lesson to those of us who fear that we are of little or no use, and that there is nothing useful for us to do for our fellow-men. A little reflection for the New Year will show us that there is a great deal for us to do.

The Triumph of Failure

News and Notes

The New Year is fraught with conflicts of all kinds, actual Ordinarily this should not occasion dismay or and imminent. regret, for conflict commonly cul tivates courage, perseverance, But vigilance, and a hundred other admirable militant virtues. the heart of the world being corrupt, and its will set in a wrong direction, the modern conflicts smack only of the boasts of bullies or the carping of old women. The Spanish Crusade advances lowly (despite the frenzied and palpable lies about Teruel), a Christian Constitution functions in Ireland, Portugal demonstrates the astonishing efficiency of the Christian Corporate State, Roosevelt joins battle with the money lords and with those who "traffic in the doves of peace." But, elsewhere, there is slaughter in the East, Egypt and Palestine are in a state of foment, and the Catholic position in Germany grows more and more intolerable. On all sides there is hatred, suspicion, and, above all, a prolonged uncertainty of what the morrow may bring forth.

Rev. Father Perrott, ST, who is supervising the building activities in connection with the new Jesuit Preparatory School at Claremont, has taken up residence at the Chaplain's licuse attached to Loreto Convent. Swanbourne, to which he will act as Chaplain for the coming year.

We are at a point in history which is of exceeding difficulty for Catholics. The past twenty years have seen an unparalleled expansion of the non-Christian and anti-Christian spirit. The very destitution of the world brought forth a new Christian crusade, that of Catholic Action. From that angle there was a soul of goodness in things evil because a renewal of the apostolic spirit But, on the other hand, this very spirit was certainly evident. was at once quenched or subdued by the extent of the world's chaos and by the strength of the anti-Christian forces. Not only then, have Catholics to guard against compromise with the modThis ern spirit, but also to fend off the oppression of defeatism. is the supreme temptation of the moment—to accept defeat before And there is here inwe have joined battle with the enemy. which is called the religion Christian the of fact volved the central spirit of the Cross. For the Cross means that the Christian triumph is only complete when the spirit of the world is apparently Who, of the Jews who stood beneath the in the ascendant. Cross of Calvary, could have guessed that that scene was one of the sheerest triumph? Who, of the modern Catholics, will remember it and accept defeat?

A Requiem Mass for the late Mr. William Ryan, a visitor from Victoria, who died while on a visit to his sister, Mrs. Harding, of Dumbleyung, was celebrated in St. Mary's Cathedral on Monday, 3rd. inst. The funeral took place to Karrakatta immediately afterwards. The late Mr. Ryan, who was an exemplary Catholic, was about 60 years of age and had been in failing health. R.I.P.

It is true that sonic modern Catholic author has written that we fight with the almost certain knowledge of defeat. But this is a bad psychological approach to the problem. Rather we must become conscious that the nature of success or failure is very dif• ferent according as it is gauged by the standards of Christ or by those of the world. If Catholics seek visible and tangible signs External organiof success, they will be largely disappointed. quite secondary but is a progress necessary material and sation aspect of the Christian life. The Kingdom of God is within, its results are chiefly spiritual and therefore not to be measured by the world's standards. Indeed it is possible to have extraordinary material progress in the Church coincident with a terrible decay of the Catholic spirit. Hence the need above all else at the moment is a renewal of the Christian life in thought and in practice. This may even involve complete failure in life from the secular outlook. But it will be precisely in this kind of failure where voluntarily undertaken or accepted with submission to the will of God under persecution, that the individual Christian and the Church of Christ will ultimately triumph.

The Cathedral Branch of the Holy Name Society will hold its usual monthly meeting at the evening devotions at St. Mary's Cathedral on lo-morrow (Sunday) evening. Rev. Father Perrott, S.J., will be the occasional preacher.

The death occurred on Sunday, January 2, of Mrs. Margaretta Alice Boundy, at her residence, 13 Mayfair-street, West Perth. The late Mrs Boundy, who had been in indifferent health, was a highly respected and devoted child of the Church, to whom sh. had given her ohly daughter (in religion Sister Mary Agnes— Mercy Convent, Toodyay). Mr. Fred Boundy, of West Perth, is the only other surviving member of the family. Requiem Mass was celebrated for the repose of her soul on Monday by Rev. Father A.

A public meeting of Catholics held recently at Trichinopoly, India, passed the following resolution in connection with the nonexemption of Mass wine in the Madras Prohibition Act: "This meeting of Catholics of Trichinopoly views with grave concern the recent action of the Government in refusing to exempt under Section 16 of the Prohibition Act, wine used for Christian religious worship, viz., for Holy Mass and Holy Communion while exempting it for medicinal, scientific and industrial purposes and in rejecting the necessary amendment moved by Mr. Gonsalves in the Legislative Council to remedy the defect, and regrets to state that this is an undue and unwarranted act of interference by the party in power with the right of free exercise of religion by the Christian c ommunity and that the system of permits and licences provided for in Section 20 of the Act while depriving Christians of their ancient sacred rights, can only result ultimately in harassing the Christian priests and missionaries and in causing needless offence to the religious sentiments of the Christians. "This meeting prays that Government be pleased to amend the Act at an early date to exempt w ine used for the said sacred purpose."

Held by Argentine Catholic Action.

INCLUDED IN NEW YEAR HONOURS.

A seven-day congress on the social question has just been held by the Central Council of Catholic Action in the Argentine. Naturally the Papal Encyclicals formed the basis of discussions, and two of the great letters of the present Pontiff were most discussed, these were "Divini Redemptoris" and "Casti Connubii." The Cardinal Primate of the Argentine, Archbishop Copello, regretting that the greater part o f the world was utterly ignorant of the teaching of the Church, said that the whole Hierarchy of Argentina was united in the pressing forward the study of the Encyclicals, so that while Communism was proposing the destruction of all things, the Church might propose the means of salvation through Christianity and the love of God.

His 118 against N..W. was a brilliant innings, described by Victor Richardson as one of the most enterprising he had watched in recent years. Rigg has developed power in his shots, and to-day he appeals greatly as one likely to be selected for England. Bill Brown, another candidate, made a century against South Australia, but his 23 against Queensland was deadly slow. He will not get in with such awful exhibitions of s todginess, and none wants to see such batting. Dixon, who opened with Brown against N.S.W., w as even worse than Brown. At one stage he did not score for ten overs! And on a really hot day, spectators were inflicted with that type of play. No wonder a ttendances are falling away.

An Irishman Upset Australia. A long-striding Irishman who raced from side-line to side-line and hit the ball as he ran, upset Australia's hopes of holding the Davis Cup in 1912 in face of a challenge from Great Britain.

At time of writing the Triangular Test between America, 6ermany and Australia had not commenced. I believe that on performances at this great test will rest the decision as to whether Australia will challenge for this year's Davis Cup.

Father Daniel Lord, S.J., has written a very fine short study of the Sacrament of ConHe calls his pamphfirmation. let, "The Sacrament of Catholic Action," and the title gives the keynote to the aspect of the sacrament he treats. For, citing Rev. Father Martindale, he looks upon Confirmation as the Cinderella of the Sacraments; it is one of those dim and distant religious experiences of our youth which, in the life of the average Catholic, is scarcely ever thought of in after times. But Father Lord wants to renew the meaning and the force of that sacrament in every Catholic's mind. As he justly emphasises, the Holy Father has called on every member of the fold to take up arms in these days of pagan thought against the godless enemies of the Church.

Because man by the law of God must work for his living, he has the right to work. Therefore, any country is badly governed in which men could labour, and need work, and yet have no emOne of the essential ployment. duties of a Government is to provide work for its citizens. Pope Pius XI. declares this in his latest letter to the world. A Government fulfils this duty when a country's laws permit a man, with reasonable effort on his part. to find work suited to his needs. Although there is nothing essentially wrong in one man working for another, Leo XIII. has made this clear: the Church desires as many men as possible to o wn their land or capital goods so that they are able to work on their own property. When men work on or with their own property they have a security that nothing else can give them. If the necessary adjustments in society cannot be made at once to permit men to own at least in part the means for work, the Government is bound by the law of God to rule so that men are employed at true living wages. Moreover, men have the right t o work in good conditions of labour, for it is men who labour, and not beasts of burden or machines. Therefore the State has the duty to enforce truly humane conditons for labour, and employers have also the duty under God's law to respect their beings. human employees as there ent While in all employm charge in are who some be must and are more responsible than others, no employer, manager or foreman, or any such person, has the right to forget the respect he owes to those who work under This is part of his direction. man's right to work.

THE RECORD

When Catholics Take

F one is very unfortunate 1 one may be called on to take an oath when allegedly on the wrong side of the law; still unfortunate, but not quite so unfortunate, one might find oneself called as witness for or against a - transgressor; or one may find oneself called upon to act as arbiter on the fate of an alleged criminal, and as a member of the jury be required to take an oath. There are other circumstances r equiring the emphatic statement that one will tell "the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth," but those mentioned are sufficient to illustrate the position of people who still regard the oath as a sacred thing and who therefore may be expected to see that even the externals are observed. Over and over again the question is raised, "Can a Catholic take an oath on the Authorised V ersion of the Bible?" or "Can he insist on a Douay Version?" Perhaps many of us would not have the courage to make a fuss about it anyhow, but suppose we had the courage and found ourselves in one of the positions indicated above, what would be our legal right to raise an objeclion to an Authorised Version? Let it be assumed that a Catholic is called as a witness in a According to the Evicase. dence Act of 1851, every Judge, Justice, Officer, Commissioner, Arbitrator, or other person who is empowered to hear evidence may also administer the oath; and the person called upon to take the oath is bound by it provided it shall be administered in such form and with such ceremonies as he may declare to be binding. (Oaths Act, 1838). Christians are sworn on the New Testament: Jews on the Old Testament (they wear their hats while taking the oath) ; and others as prescribed by their own particular religion. This is obviously essential to the oath; it must be such that it strikes into the inmost soul of the person s wearing. The reason why the oath is so much disregarded nowadays is that men without religion have nothing but their own c onvenience to consider and that they risk fairly easily. The religious man knows that he is calling God to witness the truth of his assertions and will not easily jeopardise his own soul. In this regard the mode of administering the oath to a Chinese witness is interesting—he kneels down and breaks a saucer, then he swears "I will tell the truth and the whole truth. The saucer is cracked, and if I do not tell the truth, my soul will he cracked like the saucer." It is °witous that such an oath would be valueless if taken by a man who did not believe in an immortal soul. The usual form of the oath for Christians is the saying of the words prescribed by law while holding the New Testament. The person taking the oath says: "I s wear by Almighty God that the evidence I shall give shall be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth!" Sometimes the words are added, "So help me, God." The officer of the Court will administer the oath as above unless the person c oncerned voluntarily objects or is not a Christian or a Jew.

The alternative to the oath is "An Affirmation." A person may object to taking an oath. If he objects because he has no religious belief or because the taking of an oath is contrary to his religious beliefs, then he may affirm. That is, instead, of saying "I swear by Almighty God, etc.," he says "I . . . do solemnly and sincerely and truly declare and affirm that the evidence I shall

give, etc." It is important to notice the conditions required for affirmation—either the person has no belief or he believes he must not take an oath. A Catholic cannot assert either of these things and therefore cannot insist on substituting an affirmation for an oath. It would seem, however, that he can insist on a Douay- Version being produced, for the Oaths Act of 1838 leaves it to the person taking the oath to decide what ceremonies and forms he shall declare to be binding. seems of this it In view strange that the Douay Version is not kept in every Court, for the Catholic population is no longer a negligible portion of the

O ATH whole. Yet enquiries at .the High Court, a County Court in London and a Metropolitan Police Court resulted in each case in the reply that if there were not a copy of the Douay Version available (and none of these Courts had copies that day) the witness would, as a matter of convenience, be asked to affirm. Several London Courts have supplied Douay Versions which will be produced on demand. It is, of course, wisest to take a copy along and so save any fuss, as it is becoming quite usuai to allow witnesses to bring their own bibles. A person called for jury service is also required to take an oath. Much has been said about the encroachment made on business time by. jury service, especially where a case is unduly protracted. That is not an argument to be entered into now. Suffice it to say that refusal to take the oath on conscientious grounds' will not be sufficient reason for discharge from attendance—the rules for affirmation will hold for jurymen as for witnesses. In the case of jury service it should be easier to insist on a Douay Version as any objection to an Authorised Version can be made with less publicity than in the case of a witness. juries are used in civil cases as well as in criminal cases, and the form of oath differs according to the kind of case to be tried. In the Civil Cases the oath runs, "I swear by Almighty God that I will well and truly try the issues joined b etween the parties. and give a true verdict according to the evidence." (By A LEGAL EXPERT.)

truth, grave is the sin of one who deliberately states that which he knows to be untrue.

Criminal Trials are divided into trials of felony and trials of misdemeanour in the former the oath used is: "I swear by Almighty God, that I will well and truly try, and true deliverance Sovereign make between our Lord the King and the Prisoner at the Bar, whom I have in charge, and a true verdict give, according to the evidence." In the latter case (that is a misdemeanour) the oath runs: "I swear by Almighty God that I will well and truly try the issue between our Sovereign Lord the King and the Defendant, and a true verdict give according to the evidence." Summing up, it would seem that Catholics have a right to use the Douay Version. but cannot insist on affirming instead of swearing. It will be correct to affirm where the Court directs and a Douav Version is not available. In all cases, no matter what the form or words used, the witness of juryman is binding himself by the most solemn obligations to be truthful and no matter what obstacles there are to

HO are the Pallottines? Members of a religious society which the Vincent Venerable Palkotti, a professor the Roman University, founded more than a hundred years ago. He called this society ."the Congregation of the Catholic Apostolate for deepening, defending and spreading faith and charity." Our present Holy Father, Pius XI., called Vincent Pallotti, when the decrees concerning his heroic virtues were read in the course of the process of his beatification: "The new patron and model of Catholic Action, who foresaw it in founding his Catholic movement." The Pallottines are not a community of clerics regular, but of a mean between the secular and r egular clergy. They are bound not by vows, but by the promises of poverty, chastity and obedience; by the promises also of perseverance. community of life and the renunciation of the desire for ecclesiastical honours and dignities. To-day. the Pallottines extend over England, Ireland. Italy, GerSwitzerland, Poland, many, C zechoslovakia. both the Americas, South Africa, and Australia, with 3,100 members. In Australia they have entrusted to them the Kimberleys. with headquarters in Broome, and the main missions at Beagle Bay, Lombadina, at the Dampier Peninsula, and Rockhole, in the Interior. It was the zealous Bishop Gibney who installed the Pallottines in the beginning of the century. The French Trappist Fathers who came 10 years before from Sept Fonts in France had not been able to accommodate the missionary life to the strict rule of 0,. ,..11.4, 04,####41,11,11,11,11 , •••• 4,11.4,##.04.11,411,411.11P00004
